Imperial physicians were passing nerve calming pills and soups to other envoys beside huajin kingdom. They dare not go to check on people from huajin attracting the wrath of the well known demoness. Being Nanling citizen they were little happy on huajin's plight.
While Yusheng had reduced the pressure on envoys from huajin but she still had them pressed on their spot clearly indicating she was angry at them. The rest of the envoys were back to health after the pills and soups but the fear and chill was still in their heart.
They dare not question or speak thus sat upright to show their stance of not having anything to do with huajin. The pressure they felt earlier was enough for them to learn that Yusheng was not only a beautiful lady but a mountain that could crush them like puny bugs.
The envoys from khan and Qing looked at each other and as if deciding on same thing calmed their hearts and began to act as if everything was normal. Though some people had their hands trembling still they took their cups to drink the newly poured wine.
Yusheng gave an internal nod to their behaviour. She looks down at the crouched Leiran and maids whose blood had formed a puddle of blood. "Is this how the huajin educates their princesses?.. immersed in dancing till her paths strayed.. when trying to be helped shouting and scolding people.. heh.. weak as a chicken unlike of royal blood yet daring to question this lords strength and methods.. Xu Leiran.. who do you think you are to preach this lord?.. even if your father was here he wouldn't dare to preach this lord..
Or is it that emperor of huajin is unsatisfied with this lord thus teaching you to act like this?..has the emperor of huajin forgotten the promise of our ancestors or is he too tired thus reneging the past promises.. Umm if so then this lord will have to do something about it.. "questions Yusheng with her chilly voice.
All the envoys felt their heart tremble. It was set in stone that the lord of the valley would be respected and have privilege equal to emperor. The previous ancestors of each nation owed to the medicine valley. It would be unfilial and shaming thing to renege on the past promises not to forget the ones who owed had stamped their blood prints before they were healed.
They wanted to cry and beg for mercy but with Yusheng pressing them down they could only be where they are with their face looking to ground.
Shiyou's mind was running like the fastest horse to come up with something to salvage the situation.
He wanted to stable his position and clean the slate in public eyes and court. If the news of Yusheng being offended in his supervision is spread his efforts would go in vain. Worst case if Yusheng takes this matter to his father and court of huajin he will definetly be dragged down by his hidden enemies.
While the envoys were trembling in fear the people from Nanling were enjoying. Emperor of Nanling was drinking and eating his dish in relish with bright and excited eyes as if a drama was being performed. Empress was is awe looking at her valiant daughter in law. Duke and prime minister could only shake their heads inside their heart at the royal couples behaviour but they too were feeling good inside.
Pei Zhang was criticizing them inside his heart for being too stupid. Not only managing to anger his short fused sister in law but also his petty and demon brother. Pei Jin had a dark face though he too enjoyed their suffering but making his beloved so angry he worried the anger might effect on her health. He wanted to bolt to her and embrace her but at the same time he didn't want to disturb what Yusheng wanted to do, this with his fist clenched he darkly stares at the envoys from huajin.
"Is huajin challenging this lords authority or has delusions that this lord title is just for show and not good enough like ones ancestors? If it is first then this lord would march to huajin with the letter of your ancestor where your emperor will provide answer if it is second then none of you shall live past today..two days and this lord will have every bit of medical personals pulled back from huajin not to forget wage a war.. we will see who outruns the other..speak which one is it?" questions Yusheng while finally releasing the pressure on the envoys of huajin.
