After hearing what he said, King Annan knew that his son could still be saved. He couldn't help but stand up happily and urged Chen Xi who turned around: "In that case, please princess, please save Yao'er quickly. Look,
His body is already...almost invisible..."
He was really worried that if his son became more transparent little by little, he would eventually disappear with the wind.
However, the more nervous he is, the more carefree Chen Xi becomes.
Her eyes swept across King Annan with deep meaning, and finally landed on the silent Leng Wuyan, and smiled softly: "King Annan, don't you think we are teasing you?"
"No, no, no! Of course not! Please be magnanimous, Princess, and help me!"
"Oh?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and looked provocatively at the dark-faced Queen Mother.
Hoho, old woman, have you seen this? Your brother is begging us to be lenient!
She deliberately curved her lips and asked meaningfully: "King Annan, do you know the purpose of my and the prince's trip to Xiliao this time?"
"this……"
King Annan's heart suddenly sank after he had just started to feel joyful.
I heard a woman with a innocent smile say: "As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world! The purpose of my visit to Xiliao and the prince's mission this time is not to help your Annan Palace save people! So...
How about exchanging one life for another?"
"You, you want to..."
"Let our emperor go, and naturally, your Annan Palace will have a queen!"
The woman with a sweet smile moved her chin in the direction of Bai Guangyao and secretly told him that time is limited and your son's life is in your hands.
"This..." King Annan looked at the Queen Mother and Leng Wuyan in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Leng Wuyan, who had been invisible for a long time, replied without hesitation, "No!"
Two simple words resolutely extinguished King Annan's hopes. There was no trace of pity for his relatives on his indifferent expression.
The Queen Mother's expression changed, and before King Annan could ask for help, she shouted in displeasure: "Yan'er, that's your cousin!"
"I know!"
Leng Wuyan replied indifferently, with a touch of ridicule when his eyes fell on Bai Guangyao.
He thought of his own mother. Back then, didn't this damn woman also put the overall situation first and resolutely executed his mother?
The hatred of killing his mother had been buried in his heart for more than twenty years, and he could no longer tolerate the pushy old woman in front of him.
He looked coldly into the empress dowager's sinister eyes and said softly: "When I was young, I remember that my mother often taught me that those who want to achieve great things must not stick to trivial matters. For the sake of the national interest, some sacrifices are inevitable! Yan'er has always said
Everyone remembers E Niang's words, and they dare not violate them today.
Emperor Ling Xiao was captured with the blood and lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. Compared with them and Jiangshan Sheji, the sacrifice of Guangyao's cousin is nothing!"
"you!"
The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes wide. She never imagined that one day, the child who obeyed her orders would dare to admit in front of her that he wanted to kill her family without fear.
How dare he not give her any face!
How dare you drive away the Annan Palace and kill them all!
She clenched her fists tightly, and the pain from the long nails digging into her palms could not dispel the hatred in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Sir, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Queen Mother, please put national affairs first."
Leng Wuyan answered without fear. The Queen Mother dared to call him "Holy Lord" threateningly, implying that all the glory he had today was given by her! Naturally, he dared to call her Queen Mother in return, warning her that she was just a vain person now.
She is just a queen mother with empty power, and he is the one in power who dominates the world!
He looked into the Queen Mother's eyes unruly, and a cold light shot out from her deep eyes without giving in.
Chen Xi and Feng Qingyang looked at each other, and both of them knew in their hearts that it was simply impossible for Leng Wuyan to compromise.
Moreover, judging from Leng Wuyan's current attitude towards the Queen Mother, he must have grown up and is not afraid of the Queen Mother at all.
In this way, their idea of rescuing Emperor Ling Xiao through King Annan was wrong.
Chen Xi sighed lowly, "Oh, forget it, it seems we are not needed here at all! King Anan, I'm sorry!"
With that said, she and Feng Qingyang turned around and left.
"Prince! Princess!"
King Annan was shocked and hurriedly stopped in front of them. Seeing their loving couple, what he thought of was the loneliness he felt after losing his children.
His knees bent, and he knelt down and begged in despair: "My lord, my princess! Please change your conditions! If you change your conditions, we will definitely agree to it."
"Oh? King Annan, does the 'we' you mentioned include the Holy One? It seems that the Holy One is the biggest in Xiliao? Without his permission, are you sure you can decide the conditions I propose?"
"..." The sharp questions struck King Annan speechless again.
Chen Xi said coldly: "The purpose of our trip to Xiliao is very simple, just to save people! Since you have no intention of letting people go, then I'm sorry. We are in a terrible mood now, and there is really no way to repay evil with kindness.
"
"..."
King Annan’s forehead buzzed!
He stared blankly at the two figures who turned around and walked away, as if a bolt from the blue had struck him.
His back stiffened, and he slowly turned back to look at the Queen Mother who was still confronting Leng Wuyan.
Suddenly, a mouthful of warm scarlet spurted out from his mouth.
"Brother!" The Queen Mother was shocked! No longer caring about Leng Wuyan's provocation, she hurriedly rushed to King Annan's side.
"Sister, save Yao'er, our Bai family can't be ruled out..."
King Annan held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, his eyes full of grief.
The Queen Mother bit her silver teeth and shouted loudly to Feng Qingyang and Chen Xi who were drifting away: "Wait a minute! The Ai family has the final say, let them go!"
"oh?"
Feng Qingyang and Chen Xi smiled, turned around, and Chen Xi asked: "Empress Dowager, are you sure you have the final say?"
The Queen Mother stood up coldly, took out a tiger talisman from her body, and said in a cold voice: "This is the tiger talisman given to the Ai family by our late emperor of the Western Liao Kingdom. It can directly mobilize the three armies without the emperor. Princess Gong, the Ai family can
The tiger talisman is with you, and I can exchange it with Emperor Ling Xiao someday."
"Hahaha... The Queen Mother is so happy!"
Chen Xi swayed and appeared in front of the Queen Mother in the blink of an eye.
With a bare hand, she dexterously picked up a gold medal engraved with a tiger descending from the mountain. Under Leng Wuyan's livid eyes, she kissed the soldier talisman gorgeously.
"Princess, please save people quickly..." King Annan looked at the soldier talisman with a complicated expression and urged in a low voice.
He knew how important that military talisman was to the Queen Mother, but now, what would it mean if it was given to the princess of Ling Xiao Kingdom.
