The guards were also speechless. Even if Mu Zixi was placed there, he couldn't be called ugly woman, right?
When Tuoba Rui placed Hua Ruge on the bed, she was already asleep. He took out a hot towel and helped wipe her face and hands, then covered her with it.
Just as he finished, the guard walked in, and was about to speak when he saw Tuoba Rui shake his head.
Other than the bedroom in the hall, he then asked, "The Cang Lan envoys want to see this king?"
"Prince is wise, yes, they said they want an explanation for Princess Zixi's fall." The guard said.
Tuoba Rui's expression was disdainful, she tidied up her clothes and said: "Let them in."
The Cang Lan Envoys were bearded men, and were blown by the sea breeze all year round until their faces were slightly red. They entered, bowed and said: "Greetings Battle King."
Tuoba Rui sat at the main seat and said: "Emissary, no need to be so courteous. Take a seat."
"No need, today's Japanese mission is to ask Battle King what he will do with the girl who pushed the princess into the water." The envoy said as if it was a matter of course.
Tuoba Rui said in a cold voice, "This king has asked, the princess came all the way here before him, so this king does not want to cause too much trouble so I do not pursue this matter.
"Battle King, how could the words of that drunk person be trusted? I think she said that because she wanted to escape punishment." The Cang Lan Envoys had sharp mouths, and directly grabbed hold of Hua Ruge's weakness in drinking alcohol.
When Tuoba Rui heard this man attack Hua Ruge, the fire in his heart flared up. He asked solemnly: "I wonder if the Cang Lan Emperor sent an envoy to negotiate or declare war?"
When he said those words, the Cang Lan envoy's expression instantly changed. Although he had heard that Tuoba Rui was a violent person, he did not realize it during this half a month of conflict.
So that woman really was his reverse scale.
Now, even if he was stupid, he knew that this topic could no longer be discussed. He hurriedly said: "Battle King, please forgive me. This official is here to negotiate. What happened just now only wants an explanation, I have no intention of offending Your Highness."
"Offending her is offending This King." Tuoba Rui, however, did not give any face as he said aggressively: "This emissary did not agree even though this king has proposed the conditions for compensation for so long. I don't think that emissaries have any intention of coming here peacefully."
Tuoba Rui's sharp eyes continued to suppress the cold aura from her body, making the envoy want to retreat out of the door.
He calmed his mind and then said with difficulty, "Your Highness, Cang Lan is currently not enough to handle the battlefield with Da Yu. Can we first discuss the matter of the marriage?"
"According to the letter sent by the Sovereign from two days ago, the three sides of the Great Yu Dynasty have greatly exhausted the strength of the nation. If the Cang Lan has the assistance of your highness, it can definitely force the to retreat.
The envoy brought up a new proposal.
Tuoba Rui's expression did not change as he said: "I am not the least bit interested in your princess, and the same goes for the alliance of the two armies. Emissaries, please return."
His words did not give the other party any leeway. The envoy thought for a moment before probing, "What does Your Highness intend by doing this?"
"Go back and notify the Lord of Cang Lan. If you don't find compensation in three days time, This King doesn't mind sending you off north." Tuoba Rui's voice was light, but it was filled with a sharp sense of killing intent.
The Cang Lan Emissary's face changed, he never thought that Tuoba Rui would suddenly turn hostile, with his current Cang Lan, he would not be able to handle Da Yu, not to mention facing a Battle King.
"Your Highness, we can still discuss further, you ?" The messenger tried to salvage it.
Tuoba Rui looked past him at the door, and spoke as if he was concerned: "It's a little late today, so I hope that the envoy will bring the princess away tomorrow morning."
The Cang Lan envoy wanted to say something, but Tuoba Rui directly spat out two words: "See the guests out."
In the end, even the Cang Lan Envoys did not know how they managed to walk out of this place. Their blushing faces became even redder as they held onto their own beards with faces full of regret.
He had originally thought that displaying his unyielding attitude would allow his Cang Lan to have more power in foreign affairs, but he never thought that it would cause the friendly Tuoba Rui to fall out with him.
Didn't he just say that woman? Could it be that in the Battle King's heart, mountains are not as important as a woman?
The Cang Lan envoy returned to his room dejectedly.
Soon, night fell, but he could not think of a solution.
When Mu Zixi woke up and saw the envoy, he heard Tuoba Rui's attitude towards him.
"Let me go?" Mu Zixi said in disbelief.
Putting her aside, she was still the most respected princess in the Cang Lan, so if Tuoba Rui married her, he would be able to obtain the help of the Cang Lan.
This was a huge temptation.
How could Tuoba Rui refuse?
The envoy had tactfully relayed what Tuoba Rui had said, which was that he was not interested in her.
Thus, Mu Zixi fainted once again. It was unknown if it was because his body was weak or because he was angry.
Hua Ruge's wine was good, but her strength was strong as well. She slept from the afternoon all the way until the morning of the next day.
When he woke up, he found Tuoba Rui lying on the other side, looking at him with a dark expression.
Hua Ruge thought about how she had promised him that she would drink less wine and she would get drunk again.
Therefore, she quickly supported her forehead with her hand and said, "Ah, my head hurts. It seems like I can't drink too much."
Tuoba Rui raised his eyebrows and ignored her.
He was still fine when he opened his eyes, why did his head hurt like this?
Hua Ruge sneaked a peek at him, seeing that he was still calm, she thought in her heart that it was not good, but it was very awkward if she did not pretend, so she continued to hold onto her forehead with a Pain Color face.
Tuoba Rui slowly frowned.
It couldn't be a real headache, could it?
It was easy to get a headache when she was drunk, especially after drinking so much.
"I've prepared the hangover soup for you. Wait, I'll get it for you." Tuoba Rui said gently, and got off the bed.

Hua Ruge was a little glad that he made it through, but he could not bear to do so.
If he didn't care too much about himself, with Tuoba Rui's mentality, how could he have been tricked by her?
Tuoba Rui sat on top of the bed, allowing her to lean on him. In one hand, he took a white porcelain bowl that was already cooked in the kitchen, and used the other to pinch the white jade spoon to test the temperature. He felt that it was right when he brought it to her mouth.
Hua Ruge had always been guilty of lying to begin with, but now, with his arms wrapped around her chest, she couldn't help but blush when she saw his attentive look.
"What's wrong?" Tuoba Rui saw that she did not react and asked worriedly.
"No ?." "It's fine." Hua Ruge said as he quickly lowered his head to drink the soup.
"I know I have a headache this time, so I'll drink less next time." Tuoba Rui instructed her softly as he fed her.
Hua Ruge nodded his head, rejoicing that he managed to avoid this calamity.
