Princess Hui An exploded. “Hey! Does she have to bully me like this? I’ve already given her enough respect by practicing in the morning, but she still wants extra practice at night? I don’t want to go!”

The palace was a place where people worshipped the high and trampled on the low. There were many tragic cases of people falling into the mud overnight.

Consort Xian looked at the clearly missing dishes on the table and her expression turned cold. “A group of snobbish servants!”

Liu Sande said helplessly, “There are rumors in the palace that the Third Prince harmed the First and Second Princes in the peach forest. His Majesty was furious. I’m afraid the Third Prince is… doomed this time…

Consort Xian looked around. “Where’s Hui An?”

A young eunuch entered. “Your Highness, Princess Hui An was taken by Princess Jingning to Kunning Palace to practice archery. She said that if she doesn’t practice well, she won’t let the princess back.”

Hearing this, Consort Xian heaved a sigh of relief.

Emperor Jing Xuan woke up the next morning. Not long after he woke up, the capital magistrate asked to see him outside the palace. He said that the White

Lotus Society had sent a letter over.

Emperor Jing Xuan could not care less about the imperial physician’s instructions and asked someone to bring the capital magistrate in.

“A waiter from a tavern sent it to the government office. He said that the guest gave him a silver ingot and asked him to personally send the letter to the Imperial Capital. I brought people to that tavern to arrest him immediately.

Unfortunately, it was already empty when I reached.”

As the capital magistrate spoke, he handed the letter to Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu opened it and checked carefully. After confirming that there was no danger, he presented it to Emperor Jing Xuan on the dragon bed.

After Emperor Jing Xuan read the letter, he was so angry that he almost fainted again.

“Your Majesty! Don’t be angry!” Eunuch Fu was frightened to death. The imperial physician had reminded him that there was a risk of a stroke if he fainted again.

Emperor Jing Xuan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. He gritted his teeth and said, “Bastard! He actually wants me to exchange Jingning for my eldest son! ”

No one dared to breathe loudly.

The White Lotus Society was really asking for an exorbitant price. They even dared to raise such conditions.

However, on careful thought, only Princess Jingning was more important than Xiao Duye in the dynasty.

The Empress did not have a legitimate son. Princess Jingning was the only legitimate child.

Secondly, there was her indescribably precious birth characters.

In that case, would His Majesty agree?

Of course, Emperor Jing Xuan would not agree.

General Leng requested to lead troops to eliminate the White Lotus Society, but he was jointly opposed by the civil officials.

Grand Commandant Lin said, “Unless there’s no other choice, you can’t mobilize troops wantonly. Not only will it cause panic among the people, but it will also cost money and the lives of the soldiers of the three armies.” General Leng said coldly, “How can our Great Zhou soldiers be cowards!”

Grand Commandant Lin said seriously, “But the soldiers of our Great Zhou should not make meaningless sacrifices!”

General Leng snorted. “How can saving His Highness be a meaningless sacrifice? Even if you have to be a chicken, a coward, a scaredy cat yourself, don’t implicate the soldiers of the Great Zhou!”

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Xiao Shunyang in front of him. “Second Brother, what do you think?”

Xiao Shunyang cupped his hands and said, “I agree to send troops.”

Jing Yi’s father, Marquis of Weiwu, said, “Your Majesty, I think it’s inappropriate. With the strong military strength of the Imperial Court, we can definitely destroy the White Lotus Society, but has the matter really reached such an irreversible stage? I heard that the peach forest is dangerous, and our soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties. The Old Protector Duke once said that the victory obtained with huge sacrifices was a defeat.”

“The soldiers are not afraid of death, but they should not die for nothing. I boldly suggest—peace talks.”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s gaze landed on the Old Marquis’s face. “Minister Su, what do you think?”

The Old Marquis said, “I agree to peace talks.”
