Paupers on their knees-2
Pei Zhang and Qingfeng steps forward as if shielding the couple along with the servants and roars at the kneeling people infront "what are you trying to do?...move...we do not want to stay here even for a moment...who are you all acting for?...for your real face has long torn by your empress and that ugly daughter.."
Qingfeng also speaks in a very threatening voice "I advise for you all to not hinder and block our paths...the decision has been made by our highnesses...any form of obstruction shall be seen as a threat by this general...do not force this general to dye the path red..."
Chen Yi who was also at the front speaks in firm but gentle voice "emperor...it is not our intention for you to kneel and appear beneath your status...we demanded for the answer not your dignity..let's not make the matter worse as the rice has been cooked...
if you are really sincere then later do provide us with the answer that will justify today's humiliation that Nanling has faced in the eyes of entire world...it is indeed a huge disappointment that this long planned countries meet has turned to a failure...but I hope with your answer we will once again be able to sit together..but for now let us pass.."
Pei Jin with his equally chilling voice warns the people below "emperor...something's cannot be forced...nor cajoled according to your wishes...if you are really sincere then your actions will speak loud for the entire world to see...until then let's not be in each other's presence to worsen the mood...thus let us pass as benwang's beloved consort cannot tolerate hunger nor this prolonged drama..."
Emperor wanted to stab each of the envoys thousand times but he knew currently Nanling had grown wings and sharp teeth with Yusheng's aid. He might not take for Nanling as a big deal as he never had but medicine valley was not to be trifled with.
Not only he will be laughed by the entire world, he will be seen as an incapable ruler and unfilial one in his generation and in his civilians eyes. More than that as a man in power there was no guarantee that he won't land in a dangerous situation or that his land wouldn't face some sort of strange pandemic where he might need help from the medicine valley or Yusheng herself.
Each generation of medicine valley had one after another prodigies birthed as the leader whose medical skills surpassed others miles ahead and the current Yusheng was praised to have even surpassed all her ancestors, even the legendary hua tuo. Any wise person in the earth never would offend such divine doctor as to repent later with history being a teacher.
Thus at this moment laying his dignity and all the anger aside he genuinely was making effort to hold Yusheng back. Rather than the people from Nanling he talks with Yusheng "esteem lord...indeed at this very moment this emperor is very unseemly...yet this emperor cannot help oneself be selfish and shameless but to beg for your esteem self to change your decision...
This emperor would rather die this very moment than to let you step out disheartened & dejected...
this emperor rather leave the mortal realm and step in hell than to be labeled as unfilial child when facing ones ancestors who had always put the medicine valley and previous lords in such high regards..." he raise his teary eye to look at Yusheng's clear and clean blue eyes.
Though her eye was clean and calm like a still lake her furrowed brows were clearly hinting of her disheartened self. But the emperor also felt a subtle change as her brows seemed to relax a little. His hope ignited and decided to nail the coffin looking very humble he talks with emotion to Chen Yi as others were hard to tackle and this person was also that hateful dukes son another dangerous creature for huajin.
"Marshall Chen Yi...emperor feels too shameful to request head on to the crown prince thus can only grab your attention...as the senior in the group who has known and experienced more of the world...
This emperor has long buried any vile thoughts towards Nanling...and all these years always hoped, prayed and worked hard to maintain our friendship...how can this emperor risk all those long years of work just to have it ended in such a bitter way...
this emperor will definetly take responsibility and provide you a befitting answer thus for the old times and for the better future begs for your assistance to help this emperor to convince crown prince...as not to leave in such bitter manner...
This emperor is not throwing away ones dignity but rather is showing ones true and honest feelings...an intimate friend is very hard to find and once found cannot be measured with golds...for this emperor and huajin...Nanling has long been an intimate friend who we cannot bear to loose.. "
With the emperor going so far as to kneel and beg so humbly they couldn't tear his face down. Though they knew all his words were just utter nonsense still the present situation was the best they had even hoped for. Chen Yi and Qingfeng couldn't help but raise their thumbs and give applaud to the couple who had managed to bring this haughty nation like paupers on its knees for the entire world to see.
