Chapter 126 Are you teaching me how to do things?
As the Beimang Kingdom's envoy finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone gently put down their wine glasses and chopsticks, and looked at the King of Yan, the King of Yong, and the daughter of Situ who was at the center of the limelight.
Prince Yong and Prince Yan each drank their wine, their expressions cold and silent.
Si Yan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor. The emperor was looking at Si Yan, and the words Si Yan said echoed in his ears.
Their eyes met, silent but with many unspoken meanings.
Si Yan lowered his eyes and ate the delicious food in front of him slowly, as if he didn't hear the comments of the envoy from Beimang Kingdom about him.
The emperor's mind was buzzing with thoughts of that day when Si Yan asked him for protection, saying that he was afraid of rumors.
Unexpectedly, today the special envoy of Beimang Kingdom really used this matter to stir up trouble.
Does this girl have the ability to predict the future?
The emperor even remembered that he asked Si Yan who dared to do this, but Si Yan did not say it clearly at the time...
Just saying that the time has come will make him know what is going on.
He thought Si Yan was talking about the Prime Minister and others, but he didn't expect the special envoy from Beimang Kingdom to jump out first.
The silence of Si Yan, Prince Yong and Prince Yan, coupled with the silence of Si Zhengxuan and the emperor, made Di Hao's remarks become empty words.
Di Hao knew that Si Zhengxuan was protecting his daughter. When he was chatting with Prime Minister Xin Rui of Daxuan yesterday, Prime Minister Xin Rui also reminded him of this.
He had already memorized a series of speeches and prepared a speech in his mind, ready to have a heated debate with Si Zhengxuan.
But Lord Situ, who was known as a crazy protector of his daughter, did not say a word when he heard his daughter being slandered.
Xin Rui couldn't help but frown secretly. The development of things was somewhat different from what he expected.
In the huge hall, no one responded, making Di Hao's words very awkward.
Xin Rui raised his eyes and glanced to the side.
After receiving the instructions, the Minister of Rites, Song Yi, stood up from his seat without any haste. "Your Majesty, you may not be aware that there have been rumors in the capital recently that Miss Si and the Prince of Yan...are having an affair..."
The Minister of Rites summoned up a lot of courage to say these two words...
The emperor's eyes darkened slightly: "What is it?"
The emperor seemed not to have heard clearly, and there was a warning in his tone. The Minister of Rites heard it, but he had to act according to the original plan.
Although he was a court official in Daxuan, he actually obeyed the orders of Prime Minister Xin Rui, not the emperor...
Song Yi calmed himself down and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are rumors that the Prince of Yan and Si Yan, the daughter of the Minister of the Interior, are having an improper relationship."
The emperor's expression became increasingly gloomy. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then put it down heavily.
With a "bang", the wine glass hit the table, and everyone was shocked.
Si Yan was right as expected. These people would ask him to cancel the engagement between Prince Yong and Si Yan.
Everyone could see the emperor's inexplicable anger, but no one cared about the emperor's feelings.
The Minister of Rites only wanted to complete his task, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the Prime Minister.
At this moment, Di Hao took over Song Yi's words, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Oh? Are there such rumors in Shangjing City? Back when we were at the border, our Beimang soldiers witnessed Miss Si and the Prince of Yan being alone and having an ambiguous relationship. As expected, truth cannot be hidden..."
Everyone was still looking at Di Hao. Yan Longyi's voice echoed throughout the hall: "How can this prince and Miss Si be alone? How can this be ambiguous?"
Di Hao glanced gloomily at Yan Longyi opposite him. This man was truly the biggest enemy of the Beimang Kingdom.
General Liang returned to the country to review the war and found that it was Yan Longyi who changed the situation.
Not to mention that Yan Longyi led only 5,000 troops and destroyed tens of thousands of troops of the Beimang Kingdom.
When the Beimang army and Daxuan were in confrontation, Yan Longyi suddenly appeared with his troops, and together with Qi Ziyu, they attacked from the front and back, causing the Beimang army to retreat to Beiyan Pass.
Later, at Beiyan Pass, this man pretended to retreat, making General Liang mistakenly believe that the Yan army had returned home. As a result, General Shi Lei's 20,000 troops launched a surprise attack on Daxuan and were completely wiped out.
What is even more unexpected is that Yan Longyi did not return to Yan State at all, but ambushed on the road in a roundabout way, cutting off the retreat of the Beimang army when General Liang was defeated and retreated at Beiyan Pass.
Di Hao sneered, his eyes filled with sarcasm. "Why is King Yan asking me this? When your life was in danger, wasn't it this Miss Si who rushed out to save you? Didn't you escape to Vulture Mountain together and spend the night together?"
"Yes, you also said that this king was on the verge of death, with only his last breath left, and his thigh was hit by a wolf poison arrow from your Beimang country, but he spent a good night with Miss Si. This king is really amazing."
Di Hao heard the sarcasm in Yan Longyi's words, his face darkened, and he retorted, "If Prince Yan didn't have an affair with Miss Si, why would Miss Si risk her life to save you? And after escaping danger, why would she single-handedly penetrate our army to get the antidote for your wolfsbane arrows?"
Yan Longyi looked at Di Hao with cold eyes: "Thank you so much for mentioning Miss Si's life-saving grace again and again. This makes me realize that the person I, Yan Longyi, should be most grateful to and respectful of in this life is Si Yan, the daughter of the Situ of Daxuan. From now on, anyone who dares to harm Miss Si in the slightest will be an enemy of me, Yan Longyi, and the enemy of my Yan State."
Yan Longyi's aura was so powerful and resounding that it made everyone present tremble with fear.
The corner of Di Hao's mouth twitched. "Whether it's gratitude and respect, or admiration, the King of Yan knows it clearly."
"This king is indeed clear." Yan Longyi's tone was as cold as ice. "This king is also very clear. If this king really died, you Beimang people would wake up laughing in your dreams. Why, because it didn't go as you wished, are you unhappy?"
Di Hao's chest was filled with anger: "How can the King of Yan speak like that..."
"Alright, Envoy Di." Prince An Qi Guang'an stood up with a stern expression and said lightly, "This is the Daxuan Palace Banquet. If Envoy Di has any opinions about the Prince of Yan, please speak later..."
Di Hao was so angry that his mouth was twisted. They were both princes of the same country, but Qi Guangan called Yan Longyi the King of Yan and called him the Special Envoy Di?
Di Hao stared at Yan Longyi coldly. He knew that Yan Longyi was good at fighting, but he didn't expect that he was also so good at talking.
Di Hao sat down sullenly without saying anything, and the pressure was put on the Minister of Rites Song Yi again.
Under the pressure of Xin Rui's gaze, Song Yi had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty, the rumors about Miss Si and Prince Yan are truly unbearable to hear. I think Miss Si's notorious reputation is unworthy of His Royal Highness Prince Yong."
The emperor stared coldly at the Minister of Rites. Di Hao was already finished, but he was still not done with it?
This was definitely planned in advance, and they won’t stop until the plan is completed!
"What do you mean, Lord Song?" the emperor asked with a forced smile.
Song Yi took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "I believe that Miss Si Yan, as an unmarried woman, has been engaged in battles, exposed to the public, and associated with men all day long. She is unfit to be the fiancée of His Royal Highness Prince Yong. Your Majesty should cancel the engagement between Prince Yong and Si Yan."
The emperor slammed his hand on the table and said, "How dare the Minister of Rites tell me how to do things?"
