Chapter 406 - 406"Wei Yuanwei is intelligent, and good at observing words and appearance. She knows what to do!" Otherwise, with Wei Yuanwei"s personality in the past, how could she so easily follow his mother? She must have sensed a less friendly relationship between him and his mother.
The Mo City and the Xiling were just separated by a river, and it would only take half a day by boat.
When Xie w.a.n.g led the thousand guards to the border of Xiling, the crown prince"s men were already there waiting.
When Su Lei walked down from the ship, she was momentarily stunned, but immediately after, Mu Jin stood beside Su Lei and said, "Don"t be afraid, remember what Ah Cai taught you last night, and remember that you are now Princess Xi Ya!"
When Su Lei"s somewhat fearful eyes heard these words, it slowly turned into arrogance.
And when the Emperor of Xiling knew that Xie w.a.n.g was bringing Princess Xi Ya home to visit, he had naturally ordered her men to prepare a banquet and invite the civil and military officials.
Evil King was not only famous in the Eastern Chu, but even in the four nations, those who heard of him would tremble in fear.
The military officials in the imperial courts of the Xiling were respectful to Xie w.a.n.g but they were afraid. Even though the civil officials often heard of Xie w.a.n.g"s reputation, they did not know who Xie w.a.n.g was.
When Xie w.a.n.g appeared in everyone"s field of vision dressed in a purple-black robe, the domineering aura of a king immediately made all the civil and military officials feel a solemn sense of deterrence.
The domineering and powerful aura coming from Xie w.a.n.g"s body prevented anyone from even having the courage to look him in the eye.
A pale green armored Princess Xi Ya stood behind the imposing Xie w.a.n.g, the unruly arrogance on his body completely gone without a trace.
If not for the fact that the Princess Xi Ya"s reputation in Xiling had spread far and wide, everyone would not have believed that the Princess Xi Ya that was following behind Xie w.a.n.g in silence was the incomparably arrogant and vicious Princess Xi Ya from that day.
"Xie w.a.n.g has worked hard all this time!" The emperor of Xiling was old, with white hair at his temples, but his eyes were still fine. When Xie w.a.n.g appeared before the emperor, he was unavoidably shocked by the aura coming from him.
It was no wonder that Xie w.a.n.g could stop the unruly and headstrong Princess Xi Ya. Even the strongest general of Xiling would not be a match for Xie w.a.n.g if he were to stand in front of Xie w.a.n.g.
Other than the valor and vigor of having been on the battlefield for a long time, Xie w.a.n.g had the bearing to look down on the world. One had the aura of a king, the other had the blood of a general, these two different auras merged with Xie w.a.n.g"s body, how could they not be shocked?
The moment the Emperor of Xiling saw Evil King, she knew that Evil King would definitely do something great in the future. She also deeply felt that the decision made by the crown prince Zhong Lixian at the time wasn"t wrong.
If they didn"t, then it was very likely that Evil King would be the next emperor of Eastern Chu, and Princess Xi Ya would definitely become the queen.
When the Emperor of Xiling thought of this, the smile on her face could not help but deepen.
At this moment, the plum blossoms were in full bloom. Each plum blossom connected to each other on the branches, as if in the next second, a seductive and beautiful Plum Blossom Fairy would walk out from the pure ice and jade plum blossoms.
Xie w.a.n.g sat on the right hand of the Emperor, his long and delicate eyelashes fluttered, and the seat opposite of him should be on Zhong Lixian. The banquet had already begun, but Zhong Lixian was nowhere to be seen.
Su Lei wore the Princess Xi Ya"s human skin mask and sat in front of Xie w.a.n.g. She swept her gaze across everyone with a cold and arrogant expression.
Ah Cai stooped down and poured Su Lei a cup of wine made from plum blossom. "Princess"s alcohol consumption is really good, after every drink, you will compete with others and shoot arrows!"
Hearing that, Su Lei frowned, and looked at Xie w.a.n.g beside her. Xie w.a.n.g shot a glance at Ah Cai, and said indifferently: "You better do what"s coming, otherwise … …"
Hearing that, Ah Cai immediately shouted out: "This servant will save!"
Ah Cai couldn"t even imagine that Xie w.a.n.g would spare her life when he told her the truth. He even promised her that as long as she handled the matter well, not only would he spare her death, he would even help her eliminate her slave t.i.tle and reunite with her family.
With such a huge temptation, how could Ah Cai not cooperate, she naturally did not dare to have second thoughts, and carefully taught Su Lei to imitate the Princess Xi Ya. Although it was only for a night, Su Lei had already imitated the Princess Xi Ya to a great extent.
The king of Xiling was satisfied with Xie w.a.n.g, but she still remained vigilant.
After a few simple words with Xie w.a.n.g, the topic naturally shifted to Princess Xi Ya.
Although the Princess Xi Ya was unruly and willful, he was still the emperor"s only princess. Therefore, when the emperor mentioned the Princess Xi Ya, Su Lei immediately followed Ah Cai"s instructions and walked to the emperor, and started acting coquettishly, causing the emperor to be extremely happy.
Ah Cai followed behind and heard the conversation between the two, and he heaved a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. This Su Lei really imitated Princess Xi Ya"s tone to the point of perfection.
Not even the Emperor could tell.
Not long after, the Plum Blossom Brothel started singing and dancing. The atmosphere of the scene was blended with the green bamboo strings and was intertwined with each other as they drank wine.
Princess Xi Ya had already finished all the wine in the bottle and her face was slightly flushed.
When they walked, they were already swaying slightly, with Ah Cai supporting them from the side.
Almost everyone in the palace knew that although the Princess Xi Ya was good at drinking, the moment they got drunk, the quality would be terrible.
The Princess Xi Ya pushed Ah Cai who was helping him to the side, and walked directly in front of a guard, drawing out a shiny blade, and holding onto it, she walked towards the stage where the dancers were, the singers.
When the people who were originally chatting saw this scene, it quickly quieted down as their expressions turned serious.
The dancers and singers on the stage had long been frightened to the point that their faces turned pale. One by one, they shrieked as they walked down from the stage.
Although the Princess Xi Ya was walking unsteadily, the aura of the sabre was still terrifying.
Who didn"t know that Princess Xi Ya was a ruthless person?
Xie w.a.n.g sat steadily on his seat, holding a white jade wine cup with his bony hand. His pitch-black eyes stared at the wine cup that was filled with plum blossoms.
Princess Xi Ya held his blade and waved it about on the stage, laughing loudly while mumbling some incomprehensible nonsense.
The Emperor felt embarra.s.sed and ordered his men to drag Princess Xi Ya down.
A few eunuchs and palace maids trembled as they moved forward to pull, but they were so scared by Princess Xi Ya"s action of brandishing her blade that they retreated back.
