Ling Wei silently looked down and took a deep breath then finally knelt at the empress
"Mother empress please forgive me! I have unknowingly ruined the banquet because of my lack of control"
Long Yi Sheng sighed helplessly and then looked at his mother empress
Heng Kexin helped Ling Wei up and said
"you are just protecting our family, I am not blaming you"
Long Yi Sheng hurriedly Ling Wei up and then turned to his mother
"Mother Empress let me handle this"
Heng Kexin paused, then said
"it won't be good considering that you two are about to be enthrone"
The crowd gasps
"Mother empress, what do you mean?"
The 2nd prince's wife asked, their eyes are widely staring at Heng Kexin waiting for her answer eagerly.
"that is right, the emperor will enthrone them as the new emperor and empress, instead of Ling Wei's crowning as the crown princess"
The men who followed after a while were shocked as well.
They decided to follow along after Long Chuan followed Long Yi Sheng.
They were all astonished but Long Ming De's heart fell.
He already hatch a plan, these envoys would be his biggest help.
He already reached out to them secretly.
Long Yi Sheng being the crown prince is much better, he has a lot of ways to ruin him and snatch away the title afterward.
5 years is more than enough! But unexpectedly!
"Father emperor is this true?"
The first prince asked unwillingly.
"it was already decided more than a week ago"
Long Chuan said
"Congratulations 5th brother!"
The youngest prince said making his other brother glare at him.
Then afterward, all of them congratulated Long Yi Sheng and Ling Wei.
Long Yi Sheng just smiled at them and turned to his mother and said
"Mother Empress it's a good thing though, my brothers will need their territory, and these countries will make do"
The princes of the different countries knelt down and started begging.
When they heard that the crown prince loved the crown princess deeply, they already knew that they messed up.
Sending their sisters to seduce him will be a big joke.
And Long Yi Sheng admitted himself, that whoever made his wife angry would be punished.
"it depends on my wife's decision"
Ling Wei sighs and whispers something to Long Yi Sheng.
The princesses turn green from jealousy seeing this scene.
Although Long Yi Sheng is always smiling, his usual smile is with a hint of boredom and laziness, but when he smiles at Ling Wei, it is replaced with gentleness and love.
He even bends lower just to prevent Ling Wei from tiptoeing so it will be easier for her to reach Long Yi Sheng.
Long Yi Sheng looked at his wife intently and asked
"Are you sure?"
Ling Wei nodded so Long Yi Sheng compromised
"Father emperor and Mother empress, let us talk about this later, Weiwei is feeling tired"
Heng Kexin nodded seeing Ling Wei's pale appearance.
Ling Bin saluted at the royalties and followed his sister.
"Weiwei, are you feeling better?"
Ling Bin asked worriedly when they arrived at their palace.
Ling Wei nods and assures him.
"big brother I am fine, anyway let us talk about my plan"
They are now sitting inside Long Yi Sheng's study room so Ling Bin can act whatever he wants.
"you also noticed that the envoys were provided the wrong information about me"
Ling Bin and Long Yi Sheng nodded,
"They are also being used, just like Princess Long Jia Ji"
"you suspected that it was Madam Cong's doing?"
Ling Bin asked, he knows everything about his sister you know?
"there is none other except her, but how did she do it? Misleading a lot of people? She is very powerful"
Long Yi Sheng smiled at his wife's cute appearance, whatever she did, he found her fascinating.
Ling Bin snorts at Long Yi Sheng's love-struck fool appearance and coughs to bring back the almost ascending man back to earth.
Ling Wei looked at her brother worriedly and asked
"Brother, did you catch a cold?"
Ling Bin smiles happily while shaking his head, his sister is still the most concerned about him.
Long Yi Sheng was dumbfounded seeing Ling Bin, he was silently despised for looking at his wife lovingly, and yet his appearance showed a stupidly adoring face.
Ling Wei did not notice the weirdness of the two men and just continued contemplating about what to do next.
"Wifey don't think too much! Let us handle this, just proceed to your original plan"
Ling Wei pursed her lips
"but what should we do about those envoys? Although they have ulterior motives for coming here it is still inappropriate to just seize their country right?"
Of course, Long Yi Sheng and Ling Bin would agree with whatever she said so they nodded.
Long Yi Sheng silently glances at his struggling wife and finally says
"we will use them as bait"
"How?"
Ling Bin asked with interest, Long Yi Sheng chuckled at his wife's eager eyes so he explains
"for now let us not punish them"
Ling Yi Sheng explains that the people behind will expect that these royalties from different countries will be punished as well like Long Jia Ji but they want to know to what extent.
They will surely spy on them so they will know the outcome, and they will strike when the spy comes.
But first, they should inform the Emperor and Empress.
Long Chuan and Heng Kexin agreed so Long Yi Sheng proceeded to the plan and secretly informed the envoys.
The Kwang prince was greatly relieved when he received the message but still did not forget to warn Kwang Shu
"When we return, I will ask Father and Mother to let your life dedicated to thanking the gods who protected our family and country"
Kwang Shu slumps on the floor, her brother means is, she will be sent to a temple and be a monk.
Her sisters just look at her unsympathetic.
"you deserved it! Thanks to your foolishness our chance of marrying in this country is now impossible!"
Kwang Sha glared at her two sisters and said
"don't act like you knew nothing!"
They know very well her intentions and yet they only stop her when she is already in trouble!
