Chapter 1346: Diplomacy
It was said that Lin Yuelan was a peasant girl. Now, she had become a phoenix and a role model for many peasant girls…
They had heard all kinds of rumors about this matter since they stepped into the Longyan Kingdom and arrived at the capital city.
Now that he suddenly heard that his good friend Li Sijing"s disciple, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was actually called Lin Yuelan, it really made him feel exceptionally surprised.
He was surprised. "Could they be the same person?"
Li Sijing nodded. "She"s the Lin Yuelan that you imagined. The adopted daughter of a farmer that the emperor of Longyan Country had taken in some time ago was given the t.i.tle of Princess of Guguo!"
When he heard his good friend"s answer, he really wanted to sigh," The strangest things happen in life!"
Xiao Hetian s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine gla.s.s from his friend…
"Hey, this is mine!" Seeing his wine gla.s.s being s.n.a.t.c.hed away, Li Sijing immediately exploded. He quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine gla.s.s back, then hugged the white jade jar in his arms and said very treasured, "This is a limited-edition special wine that I got from Lin"s winery with great difficulty. I also have a special royal red wine!"
Xiao Hetian looked at his hand that had stopped in mid-air, then at the white jade jar and wine cup that Li Sijing was nervously hugging in his arms. He was instantly enraged and shouted," Li Sijing, you"re so good! I saved your life, and now you"re not even allowing me to drink a cup of wine! If the world were to see that the skilled doctor Wu Yazi they admired was actually a stingy Ghost Doctor! Let"s see if you still have the face to keep your reputation as a divine doctor!"
Li Sijing listened to Xiao Hetian"s scolding, but he still held his wine gla.s.s and hugged the white jade jar of red wine. She refused to let go and said indifferently," Hmph, what is reputation compared to good wine? I don"t care what kind of vision they have!"
Xiao Hetian was so angry that he leaned back when he saw Li Sijing protecting the jar of wine as if it was his life and refusing to let him taste the special red wine that the n.o.bles of the Longyan Kingdom treasured.
But then, a bright light flashed through his eyes as he thought to himself, "Looking at Li Sijing"s appearance, he"s becoming more and more interested in this red wine. Since I can"t do it in the open, I"ll do it in the dark. I don"t believe that this guy will carry this jar of wine while eating, sleeping, and even going to the toilet."
Li Sijing looked at the sinister smile on Xiao Hetian"s face and asked suspiciously," Xiao Hetian, why are you smiling?"
Xiao Hetian immediately restrained his expression and asked doubtfully," Did I smile?"
Seeing Xiao Hetian putting on an act, Li Sijing gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what are you planning?" Then, he looked at the red wine in the jar and asked suspiciously," Are you trying to take advantage of some opportunity to steal my red wine?"
Xiao Hetian"s heart skipped a beat. He actually guessed it.
He denied it. "Hmph, you"re thinking too much. As if I would do such a thing!"
Li Sijing was still staring at Xiao Hetian suspiciously. However, he nodded and said, "I hope you"re telling the truth!"
However, he had never thought that not long after, when he went to the toilet and hide the wine under his bed, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Xiao Hetian would actually find it and drink all his red wine, leaving only a little bit at the bottom of the wine jar.
He instantly exploded in anger and cursed," Xiao Hetian, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare you steal my wine?"
His voice was so loud that everyone in the yard could hear him.
The guards who accompanied Li Sijing turned a blind eye to Li Sijing"s scolding of the prince as if it was normal.
Hiding in a tree in the courtyard, Xiao Hetian was sitting on a tree fork with a goblet in one hand and the other behind his head. Staring at the white jade jar opposite him, he took a sip of the red wine in the goblet and exclaimed," I didn"t expect Longyan Kingdom to have such delicious wine! No wonder that guy hid this thing like a treasure."
Then, he wondered if the red wine in the palace of Longyan Country would taste different in three days.
In the courtyard of the Shuizhou Kingdom, Leng Qingxue looked worriedly at her brother who was staring out of the window. She said worriedly, "Royal brother, looking at the Black Clouds Kingdom, Dark Dragon Kingdom, and Aduo Chai Kingdom, they seem to be here for the marriage alliance. We don"t seem to have any advantage."
Leng Qiyi, the Crown Prince of Shuizhou Kingdom, also looked worried and serious. After listening to Leng Qingxue"s words, he said," Royal sister, although we also have the intention of marriage, our ultimate goal is to ask the divine doctor of Longyan Kingdom to treat our mother."
Leng Qingxue"s eyes were a little gloomy as she sighed softly. "As long as we can cure Imperial Mother, we will agree to whatever they want us to do."
