In the days that followed, everything went as expected.
Pei Yicheng and his envoys proposed to return to Southern Qi. However, with the arrival of the envoys from the Yan State, Sicang stopped their return with one sentence: "The envoys from the Yan State have arrived in Dongyou. I will discuss with them the expedition to the east."
Why don’t Prince Pei stay to listen to You’s actions?”
Pei Yicheng then began to hesitate.
Xijiang is located between Dongyou and Yanguo. With the current situation, Dongyou alone can wipe out all their troops. If they join forces with Yanguo again, the emperor of Xijiang can choose a happy life or death.
His greatest luck.
But Pei Yicheng couldn't understand at all why Sicang wanted to join forces with Yan Guo? Does he plan to share such a piece of fat in Western Xinjiang with others?
If Sicang really joins forces with Yan Guo, then it seems meaningless whether he returns to Southern Qi sooner or later, because if the two countries join forces, other countries can only watch helplessly and have no way to do anything.
It has to be said that Sicang took advantage of Pei Yicheng with just one sentence, and the Southern Qi envoy had to stay in Dongyou for a few more days.
He wanted to find an opportunity to sit down with the envoys of the Yan Kingdom to discuss countermeasures and let them understand Dongyou's wild ambitions. Once Dongyou succeeds, the Yan Kingdom may also be in danger in the future.
However, whether the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom had his own plans or some other purpose, he actually ignored Nan Qi's hints. When discussing the war with Sicang, it was always a secret conversation between the authorities of the two countries - yes, Yan
The Crown Prince and Sicang had a secret conversation alone, with no third person present.
Even the closest ministers of the two countries didn't know what they said.
Pei Yicheng's uneasiness became more and more intense. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't think of a clue.
The Emperor of Xijiang has been as restless as an ant on a hot pot these past two days, and every time he asks to see Emperor Dongyou, he fails.
"The Emperor of Western Xinjiang should have a good rest. My emperor has been busy with government affairs recently. The army has already prepared and set off for the war. Food and grass matters need to be prepared urgently. We really have no time to entertain the Emperor of Xijiang."
Yuan Hai didn't know if it was intentional or not. It would be better if he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Emperor Xijiang's face looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, "Then... I want to meet the Queen."
"Then it's even worse." Yuan Hai kept his hospitality with a smile on his face, "Our queen is having a baby, and she never sees her husband easily. Moreover, the Emperor of Xijiang once spoke rudely to the queen. The queen
I don’t have a good impression on you, so in order not to affect the queen’s mood, I asked the Emperor of Xijiang to give up this idea.”
The face of the Emperor of Western Territory is earth-colored.
Such a similar scene happens almost every day, and more than once a day, but the result is the same every time.
At the end of September, Dayong's envoy finally arrived belatedly, and the envoys from various countries finally gathered together. The alliance meeting officially started. The envoys from various countries had different thoughts, and they were all thinking about who to form an alliance with.
Sicang and Yun Zishu ordered people to prepare a grand palace banquet. The guests who arrived early and those who arrived late gathered together. Dongyou's important ministers sat opposite. Due to the sudden war in the past few days, the atmosphere in the palace was obvious.
It's a bit more depressing than before.
The envoys of Dayong walked up to the main hall step by step and met with them as usual. The young man leading them was Prince Yun Chen of Dayong.
Everyone's eyes fell on this prince, knowing that he was the other royal brother of Queen Dongyou. They wondered whether the relationship between the brother and sister was good, and whether he would be easier to talk to than the previous King Jing.
"I am Yun Chen, the Crown Prince of Dayong, who is here with all the ministers to meet His Majesty the Emperor Dongyou and congratulate the Emperor on his enthronement."
"No need to be polite."
A cold and indifferent four-word response came from directly in front of him. It was so familiar that it was unforgettable. Yun Chen looked up in disbelief and saw two people sitting side by side on the throne in front of him——
Sicang in a dragon robe and Yun Zishu in a phoenix robe. The two emperors and empresses have outstanding appearance, extraordinary bearing, and unparalleled dignity. They are astonishing to heaven and earth.
Yun Chen's expression condensed little by little on his face.
Even before coming here, Dayong's courtiers repeatedly told them that they must be humble in front of Emperor Dongyou and must not lose etiquette. At this time, he had already forgotten it.
Yun Chen never thought that the emperor of Dongyou would be Sicang, the leader of Dayong Shadow Pavilion?
He looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in shock, and was speechless for a while. After a while, he turned to look at Yun Zishu, who was sitting on the phoenix chair beside him.
"Yun Chen, are you okay?" Yun Zishu raised her lips and smiled, happily admiring Yun Chen's gaffe at this moment, "Are you so shocked that you can't speak?"
Yun Chen regained his consciousness, looked back at Sicang's face, and said in a gloomy voice: "Sicang, how can you be the Emperor of Dongyou? What on earth is going on?"
"Presumptuous." Yun Zishu frowned, "Is the Crown Prince planning to launch an attack on Dongyou's territory?"
Yun Chen had a gloomy expression and glanced at Yun Zishu coldly. Thinking of his current situation, his reason told him that he should calm down, talk to them calmly, and control his emotions.
But he couldn't do it. The anger of being fooled went straight to the top of his head, completely extinguishing his reason: "Yun Zishu, this is all your conspiracy!"
The temperature of Sicang's eyes dropped sharply, and he stared at Yun Chen without saying a word.
"You have known his identity for a long time, haven't you?" Yun Chen raised his finger angrily and pointed at Yun Zishu, "This is all your conspiracy! You have known Sicang's identity for a long time and have colluded with him.
No wonder Prince Dongyou proposed to you and insisted on marrying you by name. It turns out that you have had an affair with him for a long time. You know that Sicang is Prince Dongyou, and Prince Dongyou is Sicang? Yun Zishu, you are really
Very good, you played us all around, and your father agreed to you so many unreasonable conditions, and you pretended that you didn’t want to get married, but the result... the result was..."
"Your Highness, please be careful what you say!" The envoy behind him finally came to his senses and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him, "Don't be rude to Emperor Dongyou."
Yun Zishu looked calm, listening to his accusations and accusations very leisurely, with a lazy smile on her quiet and beautiful face.
Dong Youman frowned at Wenwu and looked at the Prince of Dayong with subtle eyes, secretly wondering why all of them were so outrageous?
The king of the Western Xinjiang Kingdom has no grace and is ignorant. The Prince of Dayong did not hesitate to give in too much and accused the Queen in front of the Emperor?
However, we can get some meaning from his words. The relationship between their empress, the legitimate princess of Dayong, and the crown prince of Dayong is indeed not very good. She should not be close to the emperor, and even has a lot of resentment.
Therefore, what she once said that she would help Dongyou deal with Dayong becomes more and more credible.
As for the Crown Prince of Southern Qi, the Emperor of Xijiang and the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, after hearing Yun Chen's accusation, they all had their own thoughts. They understood that Sicang and Yun Zishu should have known each other as early as Dayong.
, from the perspective of the Dayong royal family, is this considered collaboration with the enemy?
But the two countries have already been married, so collaboration with the enemy must not exist. Besides, Dongyou is so powerful, and Dayong is not qualified to punish the empress Dongyou.
"The prince has come a long way, so you should sit down first." Yun Zishu smiled, "I would like to formally introduce to you. This is the only heir of the royal family who has been living in Dongyou for many years. He is the former prince and now the emperor.
My husband——"
"Yun Zishu, are you proud?" Yun Chen interrupted her coldly and cursed through gritted teeth, "It's really a ghost!"
