Translator: Lonelytree

From then on, the agreement between the two countries, other than living in peace for 30 years and not invading each other, also included the condition that the Black Clouds Countrys army would withdraw from the border within three years.

This greatly guaranteed the safety of Longyan Kingdom, and the people could live a peaceful life for at least three years. At least, the people at the border would not be harassed from time to time.

Since the matter was still settled, Xiao Jingrui felt that there was no need to stay here.

Because he felt that if he continued to stay, he might not be able to endure the turmoil in his heart anymore.

The purpose of this exchange meeting had not been achieved, and they had suffered heavy losses instead.

However, he had to endure it for now.

It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

As long as the time was right, he would definitely make them pay him back.

As soon as Xiao Jingrui walked out of the royal study, he saw Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan waiting outside.

Xiao Jingrui’s eyes were sharp, and then his cold expression unconsciously smiled, “Why? Are you worried that I will eat Your Majesty? Don’t worry, I won’t eat people!’

Jiang Zhennan said,” The Second Prince indeed doesn’t know how to eat people, but you know how to command others to eat people!’

Xiao Jingrui’s face turned black, but he quickly recovered and smiled.” General,

I’m afraid you’re thinking too much!”

Jiang Zhennan asked coldly,” Oh, is that so? Then who was the one who attacked Linzhou City, killed tens of thousands of soldiers, and burned the city down, causing tens of thousands of people to die in the pain of the fire?”

Xiao Jingrui snorted,” General, the winner is king. Do you still need me to explain this to you?”

“So, that justify your slaughter of so many ordinary people?”Jiang Zhennan asked angrily.

Xiao Jingrui said coldly,” Who asked them to be the people of your Longyan Kingdom?”

After saying that, he flung his sleeves and turned to leave, leaving them with an arrogant back view.

“Great General, Princess, His Majesty invites you in!” At this moment, Eunuch Zhang respectfully came out and invited the two of them in.

Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan walked into the royal study together.

The moment they entered, the two of them half-knelt and greeted Yuwen Longyan. Lin Yuelan asked,” Old Emperor, are you looking at the agreement signed with the Black Clouds Kingdom to retreat 40 miles?”

Yuwen Longyan was stunned and asked,” Girl, how did you know?”

Then, he looked at the two of them and asked curiously,” Why are you two here?”

Lin Yuelan spread her hands and said,” Everyone knows about the pregnancy of Princess Linglong of the Black Clouds Kingdom. Those who should know, and those who shouldn’t know know, also know about this. We felt that something was wrong, so we entered the palace together.”

At this point, she paused for a moment and smiled.” The two elders were worried that you would be deceived and bullied, so they urged us to come over. So, we came over!”

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Yuwen Longyan was even more stunned. He asked in slight surprise,” What did you say? Had everyone already known about Xiao Jingyu’s pregnancy?”

When Lin Yuelan heard this, she was slightly stunned. Then, she asked,” Old Emperor, don’t you know?”

Yuwen Longyan shook his head.

“Then why did you not only sign the contract to retreat 40 miles, but also demote Xiao Jingyu from consort to concubine?”Lin Yuelan asked doubtfully.

Yuwen Longyan suddenly glared at Lin Yuelan and said,” I know that Xiao Jingyu is pregnant, and Xiao Jingrui came in a hurry because of this. He must have attached great importance to the candidate for the marriage. However,”

At this point, he sneered,

“l gave him two choices. Either he chooses another marriage candidate, or he demotes Xiao Jingyu’s consort status to a concubine. After all, she’s already pregnant before marriage. How can a woman who has lost her innocence become my eldest grandson’s consort? Isn’t this a blatant slap to my face and the royal family’s face?”

Lin Yuelan understood what was going on.

This was because the old emperor would never allow a pregnant woman to marry the eldest grandson of the emperor and embarrass the royal family.

Therefore, his solution was to hide Xiao Jingyu’s pregnancy and let Xiao

Jingyu marry the eldest grandson of the emperor as his concubine. Then, Yuwen Longyan would directly use this matter as a bargaining chip and ask for more benefits.

But now, she knew.

Sometimes, the face of the royal family was more important than actual benefits.

Of course, Xiao Jingyu would still marry the eldest grandson of the emperor, but she had already become a concubine.

As a concubine, it didn’t matter if she was innocent or not. She was just a plaything for men.

Therefore, the princess of a country with such a noble status had actually become a plaything.

Now, it was the Black Clouds Kingdom that became a joke.

Therefore, as long as the second prince didn’t want to lose face, he could totally change the princess candidate for the marriage union.

Yuwen Longyan was confused.” Lan girl, do you think Princess Linglong married someone before she came here?”

She was three months pregnant. It was obvious that she was pregnant before she came to Longyan Kingdom.

Therefore, this bad debt could not be pushed to any of the royal family’s princes and grandchildren.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Old Emperor, I don’t have clairvoyance.

How would 1 know?”

In reality, the one who was pregnant was Zhou Wenya, not Xiao Jingyu.

It was not surprising that Zhou Wenya could get pregnant.

Of course, under this premise, one had to know that this person was Zhou Wenya.

As for why Lin Yuelan didn’t tell Yuwen Longyan the truth?

Firstly, it involved her secret-Little Green.

If she were to tell Yuwen Longyan, then he would have to know how she found out. This would be very difficult to explain. If he was not careful, she might expose Little Green!

Secondly, Xiao Jingyu had not revealed any flaws at the moment. No one would believe it even if she directly pointed out that she was Zhou Wenya.

Thirdly, she wanted to see what Xiao Jingrui’s plot was to arrange Zhou

Wenya to marry into the royal family.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to wait and see. After obtaining enough evidence, she would reveal Xiao Jingyu’s true identity.

Yuwen Longyan smiled.” Girl, is there anything you don’t know?”

Lin Yuelan was speechless.” Old Emperor, I’m not a god. How do I know everything?”

However, Yuwen Longyan said with some doubt,” Xiao Jingrui doesn’t seem like such a stupid person. Why would he rather sign such an agreement with me and not care about his sister’s status? He would let his sister be demoted from a main consort to a concubine. Why?”

He did not wait for Lin Yuelan’s reply.. Instead, he asked suspiciously,” Is there a conspiracy behind this?”Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
