When the civil and military officials saw the contents of the letter of the state of the Jing Wood Kingdom, they all revealed furious expressions. This was really going too far!
The general content of the letter of the state of the Jing Wood Kingdom was that they had heard that the newly ascended female emperor of the East Phoenix Kingdom was very beautiful, so they were prepared to let their crown prince marry the female emperor of the East Phoenix Kingdom as a side concubine of the crown prince.
If the East Phoenix Kingdom agreed, they could deduct 50% of the tribute of the East Phoenix Kingdom. If the East Phoenix Kingdom didn't agree, then they would send out troops to destroy the East Phoenix Kingdom.
The hot-tempered general sun immediately said, "Your Majesty, this Jing Mu Kingdom is really too much! They don't put our East Phoenix Kingdom in their eyes at all. I'll go and kill that emissary of the Jing Mu Kingdom!"
Prime minister sima berated, "Nonsense! The Jing Mu Kingdom is a second-class kingdom. The strength of a single Jing Mu Kingdom is even stronger than the four kingdoms combined. If we anger the Jing Mu Kingdom, it will be a piece of cake to destroy our East Phoenix Kingdom!"
"Then, according to what you said, are we really going to let Our Majesty marry the Crown Prince of the Jing Mu Kingdom as a side concubine? This is simply a great humiliation!"
"Even so, we can't fall out with the Jing Mu Kingdom. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
..
Yun Chujiu's expression was very cold and solemn as she listened to the arguments of the crowd. Even if the Three Kingdoms of the South Dragon Kingdom were to join forces, she was not afraid. It was just that she did not expect that a second-class kingdom like the Jing Mu Kingdom would actually make such a request.
Their goal was obviously not to make her become a side concubine of the crown prince. This was a provocation, and they were looking for trouble. Regardless of whether she agreed or not, the Jing Mu Kingdom would find an excuse to annex the East Phoenix Kingdom.
Logically speaking, the situation of towering sky continent had always been very stable. Other than paying the spirit stones on time, the countries of all levels basically did not interfere with each other. Why did the Jing Mu Kingdom insist on annexing the East Phoenix Kingdom?
Yun chujiu was silent for a moment before slapping the desk. "Alright! I have my own ideas on this matter! Crown Prince Yun, immediately send someone to gather information about the Jing Mu Kingdom and see if anything unusual has happened.
"Also, Prime Minister Sima, immediately draft a national letter and say that this matter is of great importance. I will consider it for a month and use a more tactful language so that the messenger from the Jing Wood Kingdom can bring it back."
Yun Zhichen and prime minister Sima nodded in agreement. Although everyone felt uneasy, no one dared to say anything else.
After leaving the imperial court, Yun Chujiu immediately went to the Divine Hall.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Before she could explain why she had come, the imperial preceptor said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I already know why you have come. But our Lihen Palace has never participated in the struggles of the various countries, so please leave!"
Yun chujiu smiled slightly. "Imperial Preceptor, aren't you afraid that after our East Phoenix Kingdom is annexed by the Well-wood Kingdom, your position will be lost?"
The Imperial Preceptor's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he said, "Even so, I will not violate the Lihen Palace's rules. When the time comes, the palace master will decide."
Yun chujiu saw that the imperial tutor was not willing to accept the carrot and stick, so she could only return in defeat.
It seemed that she could not count on the imperial tutor and the Lihen Palace, so she could only think of another way.
After a few days, Yun Zhichen came to see Yun Chujiu.
"Your Majesty, because second-class countries do not allow people from third-class countries to enter, the information we can get is very limited."
"It's okay. Give me the information you have gathered. Let me have a look."
Yun Chujiu took the summary of the information that Yun Zhichen handed over and started to read it.
Yun chujiu didn't find any useful information from the beginning to the end, but from the information she had gathered, it could at least prove that the actions of the Jing Mu Kingdom this time had nothing to do with the Three Kingdoms of the South Dragon Kingdom.
Then, why did the Jing Mu Kingdom suddenly attack?
