After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Nanyang Yao didn't know whether the imperial merchant Xue family was moved or not, but they certainly didn't dare to make any more moves. After all, compared with their lives, the merit of following the dragon was of little use.

If we cut off the Xue family who are about to dare not move, wouldn't that mean we are also cutting off the financial resources of the mastermind behind the scenes?

This is much more effective than burglary.

Nanyang Yao felt a little touched, and could only sigh secretly, this is a master...

The auction was still in full swing. There was a knock on the door. Li Chengen took the initiative to open the door. It was the smart waiter who had just led Emperor Jiade and Li Chengen up.

The clever waiter whispered a few words into Li Chengen's ear and then retreated cautiously.

Li Chengen then closed the door again, walked back quickly, and reported to the emperor in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I have just found out that the man who fought with Yang Wenyu, the son of Duke Yang, for that haunted house is your nephew, Franklin, the hostage of Xihe State."

Franklin, the hostage of Xihe Kingdom?

Upon hearing this somewhat difficult to pronounce name, Emperor Jiade instinctively rubbed his forehead.

Compared with Franklin, the dandy Tong Wencai is just a docile little lamb.

Franklin has a special identity. He is a hostage of Xihe Kingdom, a genuine prince of another country, and a prince who plans to inherit the throne in the future. He cannot be beaten or scolded, and must be coaxed well. Moreover, he is really the nephew of Emperor Jiade.

Although his biological father did not have as many children as himself, he had more than just two children, the Grand Princess and Emperor Garter. The biological mother of Franklin, the hostage of Xihe Kingdom, was the younger sister of Emperor Garter.

Franklin's biological mother, Princess Huilan, was not a simple person either. Her biological mother's status was neither high nor low, not as good as the best but better than the worst, and she was not favored. She herself was a girl and posed no threat to the princes, so she grew up safely in the previous harem.

Her biological mother had hoped that her only daughter would be virtuous and kind, marry a good husband, and live a peaceful life. However, contrary to her mother's expectations, Princess Huilan, who was known as Huilan, turned out to be an ambitious and capable woman.

At that time, with the example of the Grand Princess above her, Princess Huilan, who had a very good sisterly relationship with her elder sister, the Grand Princess, did not want to stay in the Da Chong Dynasty and marry a man casually, wasting her youth, ambition and abilities in the harem. She wanted to go out, realize her ambitions, expand territory, and leave her name in history.

So Princess Huilan asked for the marriage herself, and the place of marriage was still hers.

I personally chose the Xihe Kingdom from the map.

The Xihe Kingdom was located on the northwest border of the Dachong Dynasty, and a small part of its territory was once the Qiang ethnic group gathering area during the pre-Qin period.

The people of Xihe are tough. They are tall and strong. Many of them have blond hair and blue eyes. They are good at fighting. Moreover, the grass and water are lush, and the war horses produced in Xihe are priceless.

However, the political, economic and cultural status of Xihe Kingdom was relatively backward, and they admired the culture of the Dachong Dynasty very much.

When the King of Xihe asked for the princess of the Dachong Dynasty in marriage for the third time as the Queen, Emperor Jiade finally agreed. The princess who was both lucky and unfortunate was Princess Huilan who asked for the marriage herself.

Princess Huilan, who was full of palace fighting skills, went to Xihe Kingdom and became its queen. She has not returned to the Da Chong Dynasty for 20 years. Princess Huilan only sent back her only son, Franklin, who was only 10 years old at the time, and a letter 5 years ago.
