Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

Su Qingci hugged him back, her eyes filled with joy and satisfaction, and she replied softly, "Okay."

Su Qingci is sincere.

Lu Huan was good to her, and she could feel it. Now her mother was much better off in the backyard.

He did not break his promise, but took her words to heart.

……

The next day.

After the ministers left the court, Yan Xuanye rode into the palace without delay and asked to see the current emperor Gao Qinglie.

Gao Qinglie had heard something about Yan Xuanye's affairs.

He knew that Yan Xuanye had killed the governor of Puzhou, but he did not ask too many questions about it.

This morning at the court, I heard that Yan Xuanye led a group of troops into the capital. I guess he came for this matter.

I thought he was pretty patient.

I never thought that he would come to my door so soon.

Gao Qinglie sat steadily on the dragon throne in Kunde Hall, looking calm and composed. He slowly said, "Send him in."

The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it revealed a kind of majesty.

"Yes, sir." The eunuch replied respectfully.

Then he opened his voice and shouted loudly to the outside of the palace: "The Crown Prince of Xuanfeng Yuan Kingdom enters the palace!"

As the words fell, a handsome and imposing man walked into the hall.

He walked steadily, as leisurely and calmly as if he was strolling at home. He was not nervous at all when facing the Emperor of Nanchang State whom he was about to meet.

Yan Xuanye came to the front of the hall and saluted Gao Qinglie neither humbly nor arrogantly.

However, what was surprising was that the etiquette he used was not the etiquette of Nanchang Kingdom for paying homage to the emperor, but the unique etiquette of Fengyuan Kingdom.

This action was obviously full of disrespect and provocation towards Gao Qinglie.

When the eunuch saw this, his face changed and he was about to scold loudly, but Gao Qinglie raised his hand to stop him.

Gao Qinglie's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an unpredictable smile, and he said with a fake smile: "I heard that the Prince of Yan had come to the capital, but he was always busy and had no time to summon you to the palace for an audience."

"The Prince of Yan has asked to come and pay his respects to me today. It just so happens that I am free as well."

"Come here, give me a seat."

"Yes."

Several young eunuchs brought out a chair and asked Yan Xuanye to sit down.

But Yan Xuanye not only did not sit down, but walked forward steadily a few steps and slowly presented a booklet.

Seeing this, the eunuch standing by did not dare to delay and hurried forward to take it, then carefully handed it to Gao Qinglie.

Gao Qinglie opened the booklet and his expression instantly became solemn.

This booklet records in detail the various evil deeds of the Puzhou governor - not only did he plunder the property and gold, silver and jewelry of the businessmen of Fengyuan State, he also intensified his oppression of the local people. He was simply insane.

This booklet begins with the motive of the crime and explains the whole story clearly, even listing the witnesses and material evidence one by one. It can be said to be well-organized and full of conclusive evidence.

Yan Xuanye looked directly at Gao Qinglie without fear, and asked righteously: "Your Majesty, the governor of Puzhou is so lawless and oppresses the people of Fengyuan. I think you should have heard about it."

Yan Xuanye changed the subject, his tone became more stern, and he continued to ask: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"Such a long time has passed, it is impossible that Your Majesty is unaware of this, but he has not said anything yet."

He paused, then continued, "Is Your Majesty just going to sit back and watch?" His voice unconsciously rose a few notches.

Yan Xuanye stood alone in the hall and did not bring anyone else into the hall. He showed no fear when facing Gao Qinglie who was sitting on the dragon throne.

He faced Gao Qinglie and said, "Your Highness can ignore this matter. But I... have no choice but to come to the capital to seek an audience with Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty... can give an explanation to the people of our Fengyuan Kingdom."

Gao Qinglie naturally understood Yan Xuanye's intention. Before Yan Xuanye went to the capital, he did not care about this matter. It was just the death of the governor of a small city.

Although the governor robbed a lot of gold and silver, they were taken back by Yan Xuanye and returned to the businessmen.

Gao Qinglie felt that they had not suffered any loss, so he did not take the matter to heart.

He knew that Yan Xuanye had been in the capital for several days. Although he didn't know his purpose, he decided to just wait and see. However, he didn't expect that he would ask for an audience in the court today and put the matter openly on the table.

Gao Qinglie raised his lips slightly, and asked with a half-smile, "How does Prince Yan want me to handle this matter?"

As he spoke, he raised the book in his hand high up, "I have also heard that the property that was robbed by Puzhou Governor Li has been returned in full."

There was a deep meaning hidden in his words, which was clearly hinting to Yan Xuanye that since the money had been returned, what was there to be dissatisfied about?

Yan Xuanye showed no fear and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Money is just a thing outside of one's body. Of course, gold and silver can be returned, but Li Wenxiang allowed his subordinates to act recklessly on the border of my Fengyuan State, burning, killing, looting, and bullying women and children. How should such evil deeds be settled?"

“Who is responsible for the lives of those who died tragically?”

"May I ask your majesty... How do you think we should deal with this?"

Gao Qinglie lowered his head slightly, staring at Yan Xuanye in the hall, and said in a low voice: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God."

"The dead are gone, Prince Yan, why don't we just let this case go, and our two countries put aside our hostility and make peace."

"Isn't this... very good?"

After hearing this, Yan Xuanye sneered softly, "Turn hostility into friendship and shake hands to make peace?"

"Those are all my subjects. Your Majesty, you want to brush them off with just a few words. I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?"

Yan Xuanye pressed forward step by step, his eyes coldly fixed on Gao Qinglie's figure, his aggression was too strong.

Gao Qinglie was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then how does Prince Yan want to resolve this matter?"

"Why don't you just tell me what you have to say? As long as I am able, I will do my best to satisfy you."

He came here directly today and brought up this matter, and he was relentless. I believe he had already prepared himself mentally and thought of the conditions for negotiation.

In that case, why not first listen to what he wants?

Yan Xuanye sat down nonchalantly.

With a slight curl of his lips, he put forward his own conditions: "This prince wants General Hongyi's wife, who is also the legitimate daughter of the Right Prime Minister in the court - Su Qingci."
