The host is no longer a human today.

Chapter 548: Your Highness is a very handsome man, but Your Majesty is still charming too (4)

I don’t know if it was because I was too lucky, but Shen Zuixue stumbled all the way from the Qianqing Palace back to the posthouse without meeting anyone along the way.

Dang Ning and Shen Wuran, the servants who followed him from the inn, were already pacing around the room anxiously.

"Although my brother is an expert in controlling poisonous insects, there are so many experts in the Great Mo Palace. What should we do if something goes wrong?" Shen Wuran looked at the door with a frown, wishing that Shen Zuixue would come back by herself the next second.

Dan Ning shrank his neck and said hesitantly: "Lord Saint Son always has a plan in mind, so it should be okay, right?"

Woo woo woo, he had failed to live up to the expectations of the Saint Lady, but he really couldn’t stop the Holy Son!

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open from the outside. The two men looked up immediately and saw Shen Zuixue in red coming back from outside. She didn't look injured and there was no smell of blood.

But when she saw Shen Zuixue's wrinkled clothes, messy hair, and even slightly red wrists, Shen Wuran's eyes immediately turned red.

"Hey, Ranran, why are you here? Hey, hey, don't cry, brother is fine, why are you crying?"

Shen Zuixue panicked, closed the door and strode over.

If this little ancestor were to start crying now, she would probably flood his bedroom.

And tomorrow I have to go to the banquet with two walnut eyes, right?

Shen Wuran sniffed and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Brother, you don't keep your word. You clearly said that you won't act rashly."

Shen Zuixue coughed lightly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Following Shen Wuran's gaze, Shen Zuixue looked at her wrinkled clothes and straightened them out in an attempt to cover up her mistake.

"Oh, really, I wasn't lying to you, it was just a small accident, it's not a big deal."

Seeing that Shen Wuran wanted to ask more, Shen Zuixue quickly changed the subject.

"Why are you in my room so late? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wuran immediately forgot about the question he had just raised and quickly said:

"We previously thought that their main purpose of coming here was to form a marriage alliance, but today I heard them talking privately about wanting to unite with other forces to test Da Mo!"

Speaking of other forces, they are actually tribes or small forces like Miaojiang.

Ever since Yan Chen unified the world, there have been no other countries on this continent, but some small forces with extremely serious xenophobia and not much military power have remained.

Among these forces, there are mainly four tribes that are relatively strong.

The first is the Beimo tribe living in the north of Damo. Since they have lived in the snowfield all year round, resources are very scarce. The people of Beimo are good at riding and shooting but not good at farming, so they need material support from Damo every year.

The second is the Wu Clan, located at the southernmost tip of Damo. Because their habitat is full of miasma jungles, they are extremely xenophobic. Fortunately, the climate is humid and rainy, so there are abundant resources.

It is rumored that the Wu tribe is skilled in witchcraft and can even manipulate corpses. In the eyes of other people on the mainland, the Wu tribe is synonymous with mystery and weirdness.

Then there are the You clan, who are spread all over Da Mo but come and go without a trace.

The You people are generally weak in martial arts, but each of them is a master of medicine, and they take the benevolence of a doctor as their motto, and often appear in Da Mo to provide free medical treatment.

The settlement of the You Clan is in Yaowang Valley, where countless rare and precious medicinal herbs are grown. It has been destroyed many times in wars, but is now guarded by some soldiers from Da Mo.

The last is the Miaojiang people who live in the southwest of Da Mo. Unlike the You tribe who are popular among the people of Da Mo, the Miaojiang people are good at using poison. Although poisonous insects are not without therapeutic uses, they are mostly a method of controlling others, and therefore are very feared.

"The four major tribes each have their own thoughts. The envoys from each tribe will only show up at the banquet today. The main event will begin tomorrow. According to convention, plus the overseas vassal states will come to pay tribute in seven days, this grand event will last for a month."

Shen Zuixue sighed lightly. It was nothing at first, but now when he thought about staying under the nose of Emperor Da Mo for a month, he felt a little panicked.

I don’t know why I was so impulsive today.

Shen Zuixue felt a little regretful, but when he thought of Yan Sui's face that made his heart beat, he felt that it was understandable.

Forget it, let's make peace with it now.

What if the Emperor of Da Mo disagrees? As long as he wins the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will naturally have no way to do anything to him.

"Brother?"

"Ah?" Shen Zuixue suddenly came back to his senses.

"What were you thinking about just now? You didn't even hear me calling you." Shen Wuran looked at him worriedly.

"It's okay. We don't need to get involved in their affairs. Just take care of yourself. They can seek their own death, but don't let them get us into trouble."

In his opinion, the emperor of Da Mo is no ordinary person.

They were testing and calculating like this, and if they angered him, it would be easy to crush the four tribes.

"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go back and rest. You still need to be alert tomorrow!"

After sending the two people away, Shen Zuixue breathed a sigh of relief.

Today is really tiring.

In the dim room, Shen Zuixue walked barefoot on the floor, and the silver ornaments on her ankles jingled.

"Why are you here alone, sir?"

Shen Zuixue was startled when the warm breath fell on the back of her neck. She subconsciously took two steps forward to create some distance, but she didn't expect to run straight into an embrace filled with ambergris.

"Your Majesty?" Shen Zuixue blurted out.

Before Yan Chen could say anything, Yan Sui, who had caught up with him, suddenly reached out and hooked the silver chain around his waist, lowered his eyes and said, "My dear, do you want to continue what we didn't accomplish in the East Palace today?"

The cold fingertips touched Shen Zuixue's chest, "Or has my husband changed his mind?"

"I..." Shen Zuixue looked at the beautiful scene of the banished immortal, her expression dazed for a moment, and then, Yan Chen pinched her wrist, and the force on her waist increased significantly.

"Sir Saint, what good is a brat like me? Why don't I come and play with you?"

Shen Zuixue was sandwiched between the two of them, with the Crown Prince's hand on his chest and his whole body almost pressing on him.

Behind him was Yan Chen's broad chest, hugging him tightly.

Shen Zuixue was touched all over and only heard one sentence in a daze.

"Choose him, or choose me?"

Shen Zuixue suddenly opened her eyes. It was already bright outside the window. The sunlight penetrated the window lattice and sprinkled on the bed, making her feel warm.

However, Shen Zuixue, feeling something strange under the quilt, stiffened all over.

When did he become such a beast?

*

"Brother, did you not sleep well last night? Why are you so distracted?"

After Shen Zuixue was distracted for the thirteenth time, Shen Wuran finally couldn't help it.

"Are you really not hurt?"

Shen Zuixue came back to his senses and met Shen Wuran's peach blossom eyes that were filled with worry. He coughed lightly.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about something, don't worry."

"But……"

"Batu, the Wu clan envoy, greets His Majesty Da Mo. May Da Mo prosper for thousands of years. My Wu clan would like to present a dance and pray for God's blessing."
