Back at the Princess Manor, Xin Yao hugged Yun Qingyu and slept soundly. Meanwhile, at the gate of Western Chu, Yun Tiankuo and the Northern Protectorate Prince waited all night, constantly shooing away mosquitoes, with annoyance and helplessness on their faces. They didn't know how many mosquitoes they had fed, or how many times they had slapped, but they didn't see the Dongling delegation. The Northern Protectorate Prince was a little annoyed, with a frown on his face, but he was afraid of the presence of the Imperial Guards, so he didn't dare to show it on his face, and complained in a low voice: "The emperor asked us to wait so early, but there is still no news from the spies. Can the DonglingWar King really come?" The awe-inspiring War King rode a white horse to support Yun Qingyu to ascend the throne of the Western Chu empress. Yun Tiankuo turned his head and looked at the Northern Protectorate Prince who was yawning on his horse, and said softly: "Your Highness, please bear with it for a while." Yun Xuanyi replied calmly: "General Rong said he would come, Northern Protectorate Prince don't have to be too anxious." Yun Tiankuo looked at Yun Xuanyi with some displeasure. "Prince Yi seems to be looking forward to the arrival of Dongling Emissary." Yun Xuanyi said that he was indeed looking forward to it, with a smile on his face, and said: "The National Treasury is not sufficient at the moment, does His Highness Duke Xuan intend to pay this large sum of money out of his own pocket?" Yun Tiankuo snorted coldly: "Even if Dongling Emissary really comes, it may not be possible to exempt this year's tribute." Yun Xuanyi was too lazy to argue with him, thinking to himself, anyway, based on his understanding of the Eldest Princess, she would never shoot arrows without purpose, and he could just wait and see some people get slapped in the face. Yun Tiankuo's face darkened, and he prayed in his heart that Dongling War King would never come, and he was making two calculations. If War King came, he would be the first to act nice and welcome him, but if he didn't come, he could get rid of Yun Qingyu. After a while, when they were in a very bad mood, the sound of iron hooves running in their ears faintly came into their ears. Everyone stared at the front, their hearts beating like thunder. Northern Protectorate Prince Those who had been on the battlefield suddenly felt something was wrong, their faces changed, and they secretly exclaimed in their hearts, this sound was so dull, it didn't sound like the Emissary team traveling lightly, but more like at least 10,000 heavily armed soldiers and horses. Yun Tiankuo heard this and looked even more shocked, Dongling actually brought troops here, what do they want to do?
There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that it was not the Dongling envoys. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the sound was getting clearer and clearer. Yun Tiankuo's eyes were fixed on the iron cavalry corps that was getting closer and closer. A man and a horse came into view first. The young man sitting on a white horse and wearing a brocade white robe had a handsome and eye-catching appearance, and a tall and straight figure, revealing an outstanding demeanor like a deep and steep mountain. Yun Tiankuo and others who were welcoming him outside the city gate were stunned by the white-robed man who was riding the wind. Their bodies froze slightly, and the last bit of luck was completely extinguished. The white-robed man saw this scene from afar, his pupils narrowed slightly, and his legs gently clamped the horse's belly. The horse galloped, and only one meter away from them did he rein in the horse to stop, and the horse's hooves raised a cloud of dust. "Everyone, are you waiting for me?" The man said in a loud voice, "This is the famous War King Xuanyuan Rongzhan of Dongling!" Xuanyuan Rongzhan also raised his glass in response, bowed slightly, and said modestly: "I don't deserve it, my king. But I heard that there is a 15-year-old Eldest Princess in Western Chu, who is very powerful and has the courage to crush men. I admire her and can't wait to meet this Eldest Princess." The emperor smiled even more happily when he heard this, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were relaxed. He said: "Qingyu is indeed my good daughter. She will be here soon." He thought that this War King had such a humble attitude, and this time it should be able to promote friendly relations between the two countries. "Qingyu is really a lucky little girl!" Xuanyuan Rongzhan paused, secretly complaining in his heart, he really knows how to say nice things, who is your good daughter? Then she suppressed her expression and smiled at the emperor, and asked, "I wonder if the emperor has any intention of allowing Eldest Princess to marry?" When these words came out, Yun Tiankuo's body shook, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Dongling War King had taken a fancy to Yun Qingyu. If he really had this idea, he could help Yun Qingyu marry far away, and the throne would truly be his.
The emperor was not so happy, his brows slightly furrowed. His Western Qi was now supported by Yun Qingyu. If he let her marry far away, who could he count on in the future? Relying on those useless people, it would definitely be like Qingyu said, the country would be destroyed sooner or later. But he didn't dare to refuse Dongling War King's face, so he thought of a remedy. "To be honest with War King, I have no intention of letting Qingyu marry far away. In addition to Qingyu, I also have a Sixth Princess who has not yet married. If War King is interested in marriage, it's fine..." Xuanyuan Rongzhan heard the words in a leisurely tone, waved his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, don't take it to heart, I just said it casually." The emperor understood instantly, no matter whether the other party said it casually or not, if they wanted to marry, they were only interested in Qingyu, and they didn't even know the Sixth Princess. Qin Uncle to the Emperor and others' hearts fluctuated with Xuanyuan Rongzhan's words. They looked ten years older after the welcoming banquet, and their faces became more solemn. Xuanyuan Rongzhan did this on purpose to let the emperor know the special importance of Yun Qingyu and pave the way for the following words. "This king has come here on the orders of his elder brother because he wants to discuss something with Your Majesty." The emperor perked up, leaned forward slightly, and said quickly: "Dongling, does Your Majesty have any instructions? I am all ears." Xuanyuan Rongzhan's eyes suddenly turned, and he said: "On the way here, I heard rumors in Western Chu that Eldest Princess is a goddess, the reincarnation of the Emperor Phoenix. I wonder what Western Chu Your Majesty and the ministers think about this?" Yun Tiankuo was afraid that Yun Qingyu would be related to Dongling, so he hurriedly said: "Don't believe all rumors." Xuanyuan Rongzhan's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes became sharp, and he scolded: "This king is not talking to you. The emperor hasn't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?"
