The one treating the boy who had promised Lu JinNian for three days was a young imperial physician. When he saw Chen Li push open the door, he immediately stood up. "Imperial Physician Chen."

Chen Li nodded at him. "This imperial physician will be responsible for this. You can leave."

The young imperial physician pursed his lips, but didn't say anything. He took his medicine chest out with him.

Amongst the rescued children, other than Du Lang, who was the son of the assistant minister and needed to be cautious, the other five children had unknown origins. Forget about how long they could live under severe injuries, at the very least, they would have a chance to be promoted after they finished treating Du Lang.

After the others left, Lu JinNian walked in and asked the boy, "Are you still awake?"

When the boy heard Lu JinNian's words, he slightly moved his head, proving that he was still awake.

Lu JinNian looked at his body. Compared to the new wounds from the day she saw him, she remained silent for a long time. Finally, she said to Chen Li, "Imperial Physician Chen, I'll leave him to you. Treat him carefully."

The boy was excited, "You!" He clearly said that he would let him die!

"You are safe now. You can relax and think for a while before making your decision."

"..."

Within the imperial palace, in the side hall where the emperor was specially used to receive the envoys, Xiao Wen Feng was playing with the Magic Cube that he had retrieved from Du Lang's hands as he looked at Anubis.

Anubis raised an eyebrow in confusion. "His Majesty summoned this prince. It can't be that he just wanted to share with us the treasures of Imperial Concubine Wen, right?"

Xiao Wen Feng laughed, "To tell you the truth, Prince Ji said that finding this item back involves the disgraceful matters of my Imperial family. Because of my relationship with Prince Ji, I wanted to inform him."

"Oh?"

"This object was lost in Jade Moon Hall, and Prince Ji's personal servant died in Jade Moon Hall. Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?"

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Seeing that Anubis had no intention of confessing, Xiao Wen Feng scoffed. "I have checked the origin of this item, and it originated from your Prairie. I am not interested in its secrets, but Prince Ji sent people to infiltrate the harem to steal it. Isn't it disregarding our Xuan Kingdom?"

Anubis' heart skipped a beat as he recalled Lu Jinnian's reminder last night. He had died in the Ming Xuan Kingdom's imperial palace, which could be his reason for threatening Ming Xuan Kingdom. But this reason was also a double-edged sword, because that person had died in a place that was far too weird.

It was the imperial harem. If he had offended the women in the palace, even if he had not died and had been discovered, Anubis would have executed him for the sake of the honor of the Ming-Xuan Kingdom.

It was just as Lu JinNian had said, if this matter were to drag on, not only would his original negotiation advantage turn into a disadvantage, he would also completely enrage Xiao Wen Feng, and the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

Anubis let out a sigh of relief. He said lightly, "Your Majesty is saying that it was this prince who sent people to steal something from Your Majesty's harem, but it was broken by Shen Yin. He was the one who accidentally killed people for the sake of the entire Ming Empire. Is it righteousness for this prince to praise Young Master Shen even after death as his personal follower?"

"Prince Ji has admitted to it?"

Anubis, "..." I admit you have a face! Were all the Mingxuan Country people this thick-skinned!

However, he knew that this wasn't the time to be angry. He also heard Xiao Wen Feng's meaning and wanted to forcefully gain control over the negotiations and settle this matter as soon as possible. He also wanted to protect Shen Yin.

He didn't care about anything else, but he wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.

"This Prince has never admitted that This Prince sent someone to infiltrate the harem," Anubis shook his head. "This Prince later found out that my so-called personal followers had long since sought refuge with their masters and entered the palace under the orders of their new master."

"This prince won't hide the fact that His Majesty said that this person's new master is a wolf in the grass. He has already been disrespectful to us khan, and now he's even reaching out his hand towards the Central Plains …"

Xiao Wen Feng narrowed his long eyes. "This is the reason why the Huns proposed to cooperate. I wonder who is this person that Prince Ji is talking about?"

"The leader of the tribe, Yenaga."

"Yes, Prince Ji brought greetings and suggestions from the Huns before. We discussed it with the other officials before, and we decided to open a path of business for the sake of our Ming Xuan Country and the Huns. However, the merchants in this caravan are not controlled by the imperial government."

"The Huns want all the caravans that come and go. It's impossible to do business with you, but I have a plan." "We can order our royal merchants to set up a caravan and only do business with you khan."

"That is the richest and most resourceful merchant in our Ming Xuan Country. Prince Ji might as well write a letter to the Khan to see if this suggestion is feasible."

Anubis had some understanding of the situation in the Central Plains. The most powerful aspect of the royal merchants was not their wealth or resources, but their connections with the officials of the imperial court. It would be a good thing if they could have a good relationship with each other and thus influence the position of the Huns in the Ming Xuan Empire.

"I have received Your Majesty's sincerity. I hope that when I return, I will immediately communicate with Father. I believe Father Khan will not disagree." Anubis laughed, "Also, there is one more thing. It is about Anubis, the Princess of the Hun. Since the marriage alliance has been set, I ask that Your Majesty take the initiative to choose a good puppet for her."

Xiao Wen Feng's expression became much gentler. "Our princes are all elegant. Prince Zhi is the elder brother of Princess Qian, so he should be more concerned about his younger sister. There's also this thing."

"I will give this to Prince Ji as a gift, as a token of my goodwill. May the Hun Prairie and I, the powerful nations of the Ming Dynasty, have a friendship that will last for a long time."

Anubis took the Magic Cube, his eyes flashed, and he stood up to say, "Anubis thanks His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Xuan Kingdom."

After he sent Anubis away, Xiao Wen Feng's expression became heavy. He ordered someone to close the door to the hall, walk around the wall behind him, and then said to the people sitting inside, "Deities, did you hear that?"

All the ministers were Xiao Wen Feng's trusted aides. Prime Minister Pei Zhihe, General Lu Mo Ting, Hong Diao Temple's Su Xing Yuan, Young Master Lu Mo Sheng, Minister Gu Ming Zheng, Jing Zhao Mansion Yin Cui, and Minister Shen Xiang Tai.

Pei Zhihe clasped his hands and took the lead, "Your Majesty is famous."

"The Huns wanted to win us over with the price of a princess and help them deal with the tribe and Yenaga. They even dared to think about it in the beginning," Xiao Wen Feng laughed, "I'm not fighting against the Huns because I'm afraid of them, but the people of the prairie can't stand the restraints. Even if I can beat them down, they won't discipline me."

"I am afraid, Your Majesty, that it is not the chief of Shou, Yenaga, who has the ambition to reach out to the Central Plains. It is the Huns."

I know what you are worried about, but until now, the history behind the death of the Huns in the Hall of Jade Moon is still a mystery. Didn't Cui Fu say that the wounds on the corpses were messy, and the only way to kill them is to stab them in the heart?
