When the envoy said these words, many eyes in the court looked at the princes standing at the front.
In the midst of that, Mu Hongxiu's face was expressionless, as if the person mentioned in this sentence was not her at all.
In recent days, the entire Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom has become aware of what the Demon Emperor Jitian is planning. As another protagonist in this turmoil, Mu Hongxiu was almost immediately pushed to the forefront.
Many people hold a wait-and-see attitude towards this marriage, which has never happened before in the history of the five countries. Of course, there are some radical people who believe that King Yan is the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom. Even if she is a woman, she is still the prince of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom. Asking the prince to marry far away to the Jitian Demon Kingdom and become the concubine of the Demon King, this almost humiliating act was almost a slap in the face of all the warriors of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
Therefore, during this period of time, the call for war within the Holy Kingdom has reached its highest level. Even if the Jitian Demon Kingdom continues to increase its troops to the border, the various generals in the Holy Kingdom still hold the view of fighting.
But this time, even the civil servants of the peace faction did not hold opposite opinions.
After learning the truth, they all felt angry.
It's just a matter of increasing troops on the border to put pressure. Do you still want to marry the prince of a country openly? If the Holy Kingdom of Tun Tian compromised on this, it would be even more humiliating than an honest defeat.
However, the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom has remained silent on this matter, and Mu Hongxiu, the victim, has also remained silent to this day. Their silence also made some aristocratic families ready to take action and make different noises.
Some people from the aristocratic family believe that if they start a war with the Jitian Demon Kingdom for Mu Hongxiu, they will disregard the life and death of the people. No matter whether they lose or win, the result will be useless. It would be better to marry her to the Jitian Demon Kingdom. In this way, the war can be calmed down and a powerful ally like the Jitian Demon Kingdom can be obtained. This is undoubtedly the best choice for the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
Although this kind of voice only spreads among aristocratic families, and not many people in the court were shaken by it, it still held a certain weight among the people of the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian.
Now in the court, this sensitive topic was raised by the envoys of the Jitian Demon Kingdom, and most people wanted to know what answer Mu Hongxiu would give.
Or rather, how will His Majesty face this matter.
"King Yan, what do you think?"
After a long silence, His Majesty the Emperor asked Mu Hongxiu in a calm voice.
Mu Hongxiu's eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was no emotion on her face. There was no trace of fireworks in her voice as she said: "When it comes to war, my will is not important. This matter is entirely up to your Majesty's decision."
Hearing her answer, the civil and military officials in the court seemed not surprised.
Because this is Mu Hongxiu’s style.
Although she usually has a bad temper and gets angry and hurts people when she disagrees with her, even in the court, she has seriously injured some officials who disobey her opinions. But once it comes to the survival of the Holy Kingdom, she will hide her emotions and consider everything from the perspective of the Holy Kingdom.
This is one of the reasons why everyone admires her.
After all, becoming king is no less difficult for a woman than ascending to the throne. Mu Hongxiu has been criticized for many years, but her behavior has never been criticized at all.
"Since King Yan said so, then I wonder when the messenger from Jitian Demon Kingdom will arrive in the imperial capital?"
At this moment, Lin Wangbei stared at the female envoy with burning eyes, and although his tone was not tit-for-tat, there was still a hint of unkindness.
The female envoy let out a sweet laugh and said calmly: "Marshal Lin is really impatient. Even His Highness King Yan doesn't care. Why does Marshal Lin ask about the whereabouts of the emissary again and again?"
"Could it be that... Marshal Lin wanted to kill the envoy before he arrived in the imperial capital?"
Suddenly!
The voice of the female envoy was raised, almost with a scolding tone.
A look of interest appeared on Lin Wangbei's handsome face, and he smiled and said, "Am I not allowed to interfere in this matter?"
"Haha, the little lady didn't say that." The female envoy took half a step back. Although her face was completely hidden under the cloak, she looked frightened. "Marshal Lin has a great reputation. Even in the In the Jitian Demon Kingdom, when you mention the words Lin Wangbei, many people will praise you as a peerless general. With your status in the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom, how can you not ask anything?"
"Then the envoy is talking about him. Could it be that there is something wrong with the envoy who is welcoming the bride?"
Old Prime Minister Zhang also stood up at this time and asked harmoniously.
The female envoy was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Of course there was no problem with the envoy welcoming the bride, but because of the long distance and the fact that our emperor attaches great importance to this marriage, in order to purchase a sufficient betrothal gift, it was delayed for some time. .”
"I see."
Old Prime Minister Zhang showed a look of surprise, smiled and stopped talking.
But the female envoy cursed the old fox in her heart.
Now, how could she not see the plot between Lin Wangbei and Old Prime Minister Zhang
One person put pressure on her and the other asked her questions. If she continued to conceal the whereabouts of the messenger, something might go wrong in this originally peaceful matter.
But the attitude of the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian is still unclear. Although she has been living in the imperial capital for nearly a month, she has not yet received a clear answer from the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom. Under this situation, she was not sure whether the wedding messenger could successfully take Mu Hongxiu away after arriving in the imperial capital.
"Your Majesty, now that the envoy has given an answer, I feel that we can put aside the issue of additional troops at the border for the time being."
Finally, Lin Wangbei spoke calmly and ended the topic.
His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said calmly: "That's fine."
The female envoy quickly saluted and retreated into the envoy team. Her expression hidden under her cloak was almost too ugly to see.
The drama in the court today was obviously aimed at them.
"What is our emperor planning? Does he really want to marry Mu Hongxiu?" After returning to the team, she could no longer keep calm in her heart, and she couldn't help but begin to have doubts about her mission.
Although this mission to the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian was ostensibly for peace talks, in fact, the order she received was to stay in the imperial capital to meet the emissaries and ensure that Mu Hongxiu could be safely taken away.
This order is something she still can't understand.
Ruo Mu Hongxiu is just an ordinary woman, she is the Yan King of the Holy Kingdom, and she is also an extremely powerful Mingyou Grandmaster.
Not to mention the attitude of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom.
Bringing such a dangerous character back to Jitian Demon Kingdom, if something unexpected happens, will definitely be a heavy blow to the current Jitian Demon Kingdom.
A warrior who can achieve the realm of Mingyou is by no means an easy person to deal with. Ruo Mu Hongxiu was determined to ignore it and let go of her hands and feet to carry out destruction in the Jitian Demon Kingdom. Before she died, she could at least destroy several states of the Jitian Demon Kingdom. No matter from which angle you think about it, taking away King Yan is not a reasonable thing, but she is not used to questioning the majesty of the Demon King. She can only execute the tasks she receives and has no right to question.
"If you all have nothing important to do, come here for today's court meeting."
When the matters in the court were almost settled, the kind-hearted chief steward standing on the steps said with a smile. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not say much. They bid farewell to His Majesty and exited the hall one after another.
As an envoy from another country, it was natural for an internal official to come forward and lead the group of people away from the other side door.
After the envoys left, Lin Wangbei looked at the expressionless Mu Hongxiu, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, King Yan, would you like to chat with me?"
"No need." Mu Hongxiu didn't have a good look on her face. After refusing calmly, she left the hall.
Looking at her leaving figure, Lin Wangbei sighed with a helpless expression.
Old Prime Minister Zhang came over and said, "Prince Yan has a grudge in her heart. At this time, we'd better not bother her."
"Having said that..." Lin Wangbei looked helpless and lowered his voice: "Prime Minister, you also know that King Yan is in a very dangerous state. If she really goes to assassinate the Demon Emperor, war will still be inevitable..."
"At that time, not only will King Yan's sacrifice be in vain, but we will also lose a Mingyou commander. If we start a war then, we will definitely lose."
