"Surrounded"

Sheng Rei was looking at Zheng Xi-Wang with a dismissive smile.

Huang Mei and Zheng Xi-Wang were standing at the door half-static, as if they were frightened by their presence.

Well, I don't judge them.

Sheng Rei finished sipping his tea and stood up, bowing.

"Good morning ladies, Princess Huang, Miss ... Xiao."

"Good morning Emperor Sheng, Princess Sheng ... Greetings." Huang Mei was the first to take an initiative.

Although she was surprised by Sheng Rei's appearance without warning, she hoped.

After all, this was going to be her last day in the country, and as a host, Sheng Rei at least had to show up to greet her.

Even if it wasn't like him.

"May the emperor and the princess live another thousand years."

Sheng Mia also stood up and paid respect to Huang Mei.

Amenities.

As much as she didn't like it, unfortunately for her even Huang Mei being a princess like her, she still had a higher political position than hers.

Huang Mei finished his greetings and walked to the table, walking calmly.

Anyone who looked at the natural way she acted would not have imagined the pain she was feeling at that moment.

Zheng Xi-Wang just followed her in silence, making a brief bow before sitting down.

The servants soon appeared and served the table for Huang Mei and Zheng Xi-Wang.

"I am surprised that the princess is standing, I heard that she was in very bad shape just now." Sheng Mia spoke in a curious tone.

At this point in the championship Huang Mei should be suffering.

But she was there in front of her completely full.

Did she cure the poison?

"It was just a bad feeling, don't worry too much," Huang Mei said with a smile. "The princess is very attentive, she worries too much, I am very grateful for the care."

Sheng Mia just returned with the same cynical smile.

Bitch!

The meal went on completely in silence after that.

It was only possible to hear the sound of the cutlery.

It was noticeable a tense atmosphere around the table.

After the morning meal, everyone left the table and Zheng Xi-Wang and Huang Mei went for a walk around the garden.

"How are you feeling?" Zheng Xi-Wang asked when he saw that the servants were already far away.

"It hurts, but it's bearable." Huang Mei squeezed his eyelids. "Zheng Xi-Wang ..."

"Yea?"

"What did you want to tell me earlier? You were quite uncomfortable at the table, did something happen?"

Although Huang Mei was in severe pain, she was nevertheless showing her concern for Zheng Xi-Wang, and the redhead knew it.

Zheng Xi-Wang thought a little, sounding cold.

Swallowing, she looked around to make sure they were alone and sat down with Huang Mei in the corner.

"Our plan has been discovered." Zheng Xi-Wang just spoke.

"What I eat?!"

"I said that bringing me would not be a good idea. Sheng Rei already recognizes my identity."

"That bastard ... But no one has known about you for 2 years! How could he recognize you?"

"I don't know, but apparently our mission information was leaked, so he probably already knew our purpose from the beginning."

"You mean you have a spy in the South?"

"Probably."

"Damn it!" Huang Mei then bit his nail thoughtfully. "Anyway, we'll be leaving here tomorrow morning, we didn't do anything suspicious, so even if he knows he has nothing to threaten us with.

"Just like us ... That was completely useless."

"No, it was not completely useless, we have a good report, even if we cannot prove the connection of the Country of the West with the Country of the East, we can still diminish Sheng Rei's reputation."

"Don't you think it's risky?"

"A sick princess, an economy in crisis ... What do you think?"

"Yeah, that would put a little pressure on the East Country ... Next time, tell your dad to send people not so obvious for espionage." Zheng Xi-Wang said dismissively.

"Heh? Obvious ?!" Huang Mei spoke in an offensive tone.

"A princess with a political mission? A noblewoman from the north?" Zheng Xi-Wang winced.

"It is still true!"

"You brought Zhao Kuan instead of me!"

"Stop crying! You know he's unpredictable, he could endanger us."

That was true.

Zhao Kuan was very free-spirited, so they couldn't be expected to do anything that offended Sheng Rei, with his personality so rigid.

Even more with Zhao Kuan's disgusting personality.

Zheng Xi-Wang was irritated just by remembering her face.

"Yeah, you're right ... Unfortunately."

"Besides that Sheng Rei is very arrogant and we would not have a plausible reason for sending an ambassador."

"If he denied it, it would be an offense, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, but when it comes to the enmity of our two countries, that would not affect him much, besides that he is already known for these arrogant acts with people of a lower class ... Now, a princess is another story." Huang Mei sighed "I really hate that."

"You should do like me and run." Zheng Xi-Wang shrugged.

"Run away ?! Haha, I would love it if it were that easy, you are crazy." Huang Mei laughed.

"I know." Zheng Xi-Wang smirked.

In the distance on the porch, they saw a servant approaching and soon changed the subject.

"Princess, miss." The servant bowed. "Emperor Sheng is waiting for you in the office right now."

"Thank you so much, we are already going," Huang Mei replied.

She tried to get up quickly, shaking her dress, but soon felt dizzy.

"Wait." Zheng Xi-Wang held her.

"Are you all right, my princess?" The servant asked.

"I just stumbled."

"If you're still feeling bad, I can arrange for a paddle-"

"There is no need for medicine." Huang Mei cut her off before she could finish.

The servant quickly fell silent and just guided them to the office.

When they entered, Huang Mei and Zheng Xi-Wang saw a large room with red curtains.

Behind a large dark wooden table was Sheng Rei seated.

"My lord ..." Huang Mei bowed.

"Princess ... Miss," Sheng Rei replied, "Please sit down, let's do business."

...

"Atcho!" Zhao Kuan sneezed, scratching his nose.

Long Tian looked at him, opening one eye a little while she meditated.

"Has a cold?"

"No, I have great health," Zhao Kuan said, going back to meditating.

"They say that when we sneeze it is because they are talking about us."

"Really? I hope you are speaking well, will it be if you are a beautiful young woman who has been enchanted by my beauty and is thinking of me?" Zhao Kuan spoke in a proud tone.

Long Tian just made a face.

Disgusting.

"You are not the type of person that anyone would speak well of."

"Hey! I thought it was offensive!"

Long Tian noticed that Zhao Kuan was already almost half the energy of his stone.

It was shining less brightly than the one that Long Tian had.

How could he do that so fast?

Long Tian knew that Zhao Kuan's cultivation was fast, but he didn't even try to do it.

"How are you doing this?"

"What?" Zhao Kuan raised an eyebrow.

"We've been here all morning and you're almost halfway through."

"Hehe, I'm just better than you," Zhao Kuan said with a dismissive smile.

"I'm going to punch you in the face." Long Tian felt a small vein start.

"You are very nervous."

"I am not nervous."

"So Huang Mei will never want to marry you."

"WHAT - I never-" Long Tian gasped, feeling his ears heat up.

Zhao Kuan then burst out laughing.

"You turned red! You really like her!" Zhao Kuan just dropped to the floor and rolled over.

"You wretch!" Long Tian jumped on Zhao Kuan slapping him, but Zhao Kuan just defended himself and continued to laugh.

"Stop! Stop! My belly hurts!" Zhao Kuan really couldn't control himself.

He thought it was hilarious how Long Tian changed completely only with the presence of Huang Mei's name.

"I'll kill you!"

"Have you finished your training yet?" Master Long Kun appeared suddenly.

He grabbed Long Tian by the back of his robe and pulled him away from Zhao Kuan.

"Sorry, master."

"Why were you fighting?

"We weren't, Long Tian was just annoyed that I said that Huang Mei would never want to marry him." Zhao Kuan stood up.

"Shut up!"

"Um," Long Kun smiled, "It really isn't."

"Uncle!" Long Tian said in an incredulous tone.

"Anyway, leave it to kill yourself in the arena, come with me."

"But we are not finished meditating yet." Zhao Kuan stood up.

"Don't worry, didn't you want me to teach you something? Then come."

Zhao Kuan smiled excitedly, so the two followed Long Kun out of the courtyard.
