Chapter 142: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 25

"Alas, the envoys who followed were all killed. This shows the anger of the new emperor of Xiao. Yun Wu might be dead or disabled now... It's really a pity."
Liang Yue's tone did not contain any regret. She raised her head and adjusted the pearl hairpin on her hair, looking more like she was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
"You're talking nonsense! Awu won't die!"
Wei Yan glared at Liang Yue who was sitting opposite him and said this with his eyes wide open, his handsome face showing anger and anxiety.
Prime Minister Yun was not present, and the remaining court officials looked at each other and dared not speak.
General Lu slammed the table with a bang and looked at Liang Yue with indignation on his dark face.
"What do you mean?! Miss Yun went to Xiao Country for the sake of the overall situation. Now you are not grateful, and you are even making sarcastic remarks here!"
"aunt!"
Liang Yue's face turned pale and blue after being accused by General Lu in public. Then she looked at the queen on the throne with a face full of grievance.
The Queen was Liang Yue's aunt. When she heard Liang Yue being humiliated in public by General Lu, she felt as if the slap was also on her.
"General Lu, be careful with your words. Today is a banquet in the palace, and I don't want to make things too awkward."
General Lu bowed perfunctorily to the queen, then snorted coldly and sat quietly in his seat, without even touching the delicious wine and food on the table.
Wei Congyu picked up the wine glass and drank it. He felt a little uneasy when he thought of Awu.
He thought that if Prime Minister Yun had agreed to marry Awu to him, he would not have to go to Xiao State to suffer now.
At this time, a eunuch walked hurriedly into the hall from outside.
"This slave has met the Queen."
"But what is His Majesty's order?"
The queen asked, this eunuch was from the Xuanzheng Hall, and every time the Emperor Wei issued an edict, he was the one who reported it.
"Your Highness, it was not His Majesty's order, but... it was the news about Miss Yun that came from the Xiao Kingdom."
"Awu?"
Wei Yan said in a daze, with some anxiety on his young and handsome face. He asked anxiously:
"What's the news? How is Awu?"
"It's only the second day since arriving in Xiao Country. Could it be that she has been tortured to death?"
Liang Yue asked with an arrogant look, holding a handkerchief in her hand and pretending to be regretful.
"This……"
The eunuch hesitated, then he lowered his body tremblingly and continued:
"The new emperor of Xiao State has issued an edict to make Miss Yun the queen..."
As soon as the eunuch's slightly sharp voice came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. The court officials looked at each other, and some of the bolder ones began to discuss in a low voice.
"Queen? Did I hear you right?"
"Even though I am old and my eyes are blurry, I can still hear it clearly!"
"Didn't they say that the new emperor of Xiao State wanted Miss Yun to come over in order to torture her?"
"how can that be possible?"
Liang Yue suddenly stood up from his seat and looked suspiciously at the eunuch who was delivering the message in the hall.
"Did you pass on the wrong message?"
"It is absolutely true. I dare not lie about it..."
The eunuch bent his waist slightly and spoke politely, then continued to tell the whole story:
"It is said that the new emperor of Xiao State is very fond of Miss Yun. The adults accompanying the envoys were killed because they took the initiative to humiliate Miss Yun, which angered Emperor Xiao."
"There is such a thing..."
The queen on the steps frowned and said that they all originally thought that Yun Wu went to Xiao Kingdom probably to be retaliated and tortured.
But he never expected that the new emperor would actually like Yun Wu and make her, a foreign woman, his queen.
A trace of pity and regret flashed across the queen's eyes. If they had known earlier that Emperor Xiao felt for Yun Wu, they should have used her as a threat to make demands.
Instead of being forced to agree to Xiao State's conditions and submit to Xiao State!
"Great!"
Wei Yan's previous melancholy was gone, and when he knew that Awu was still fine, his face was filled with joy that could not be expressed in words.
Liang Yue gritted her teeth and sank into her seat. Listening to the surrounding court officials praising the Yun family for being blessed, she couldn't help but feel even more resentful.
"How could she become the queen? Wasn't Emperor Xiao a slave beside her before? He must have a grudge against her..."
Liang Yue was jealous that she was in a high position when she was in Wei State, with the eldest princess, her cousin the crown prince and even the second prince all surrounding her, but now that she had gone to Xiao State, she had become the queen with a life of luxury.
"Are you in charge?"
Wei Yan rolled his eyes at Liang Yue. He was in a good mood now and was more pleased with the banquet hosted by the Queen.
The court officials at the banquet also began to whisper to each other.
"I never expected that Prime Minister Yun's daughter would become the Queen of Xiao Kingdom!"
"Yes, at first everyone thought that Miss Yun would suffer if she went there, but we didn't expect that."
"That's good. If Emperor Xiao treats Miss Yun well, Prime Minister Yun will be relieved."
"Yeah yeah."

In the Xiao Kingdom's palace, Chun Xing still lived in the palace as Yun Wu's personal maid, taking care of Yun Wu just as she did before in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But it only applies when Xiao Rongjing is not in the bedroom.
In the morning, after Yun Wu finished her breakfast, Xiao Rongjing went to court. Chun Xing then hurried into the bedroom.
She was first surprised that the furnishings and layout of this bedroom were exactly the same as the boudoir of the young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Then, seeing Yun Wu still lying on the bed, she hurried forward.
"Miss!"
"Chun Xing..."
Yun Wu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked over, and saw Chun Xing walking towards her anxiously.
Chun Xing was waiting by the bed, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her young lady was safe and sound.
"Last night, those two masters suddenly took the young lady into an iron cage. Just thinking about it makes me angry. Fortunately, Xiao Rongjing took care of it for you."
Chun Xing said indignantly that last night the guards took Lords Lin and Sun back to the palace and beheaded them in front of everyone.
Except for her and a few people brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the rest of the envoys were killed.
"I never thought that not only did he not intend to harm the young lady, but he actually issued an edict to honor the young lady as the queen!"
Chun Xing spoke with some excitement. She had obviously changed her mind about Xiao Rongjing and thought it would be nice if the young lady married Xiao Rongjing.
"I'm glad that the young lady is fine. I think Xiao Rongjing really loves the young lady. The decoration of this bedroom is exactly the same as that of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"It's time for me to get up, Chun Xing, just help me comb my hair into a bun later..."
Yun Wu said this casually with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes. Chun Xing saw that Yun Wu was still wearing her inner clothes, so she immediately stood up and prepared to find an outer robe.
Yun Wu sat lazily on the bed, her long black hair hanging down at her side. She touched her round belly and recalled the scene of her breakfast just now.
Xiao Rongjing insisted on personally serving her the porridge, saying that it would save her the trouble of working.
The person was fine, she was not injured, and Xiao Rongjing did not retaliate against her or hold a grudge against her.
But... Yun Wu's cheeks flushed. Xiao Rongjing was too reckless and very weird.
When she called him a lowly slave, he even laughed!
