Xiao Lan was naturally the most familiar with this baleful aura and could not help but laugh coldly to herself. 'As expected, your words are yours.

The corner of Xiao Lan's mouth curled up. Suddenly, she lifted her arm and playfully pulled up a corner of Xuanyuan Yun's clothes before lightly swaying it.

"Your Highness, why are you looking at your concubine so foolishly? Could it be that a flower bloomed on your concubine's face?"

The cute voice made Xuanyuan Yun's eyes freeze up uncontrollably.

A moment later, Xuanyuan Yun lowered his head to look at Xiao Lan's fingers that were tugging at the corner of his clothes. He secretly took a deep breath and replied in a different tone of voice.

"You look much better than flowers."

"Hur Hur Hur Hur."

Xiao Lan smiled like a blossoming flower. "Your highness, you really know how to speak."

In that instant, everyone was stunned on the spot.

The Regent, the Regent's Consort, had these two forgotten that this was the banquet hall of the Eastern Han Imperial Palace, not their beloved Regent's Estate? Moreover, their imperial father's personal eunuch was still preparing to read out the imperial edict, while the princess of Nanxuan opposite them was still preparing to become the Regent's Consort!

"You Lanyi."

Xuanyuan Hongxi called out to Xiao Lan haughtily.

Hearing this, Xiao Lan gradually stopped laughing and turned around gently. His gaze was clear and domineering as he looked at Xuanyuan Hongxi who was standing at the top of the hall.

Such a gaze instantly made Xuanyuan Hongxi's eyes turn cold.

He was the emperor, a dignified ruler of the imperial palace. Everyone would prostrate themselves in front of him. How could she use such a gaze to look at him?

Seeing the killing intent gradually emerge in Xuanyuan Hong's eyes, Xiao Lan let out a bright smile that was filled with provocation and fearlessness.

"Your Majesty, this subject's wife specially came here tonight to thank you."

Thank me?

Everyone slightly raised their heads and looked towards Xiao Lan and Xuanyuan Hongxi.

What are you thanking me for now?

Xuanyuan Hongxi frowned when he heard her words. He had nothing to do with this "Wanda Yi" woman, so what was there to thank her for?

"When did I owe you this favor?"

Xiao Lan released the fingers that had grabbed onto the corner of Xuanyuan Feng's clothes, slightly spread his arms and cupped his hands as he spoke in a serious manner.

"Of course it's for the emperor to bestow his daughter on the regent, and for her to become his consort."

"Your Majesty, this subject's daughter's marriage was personally decreed by Your Majesty. These are Your Majesty's golden words. As a result, the marriage cannot be broken anymore, so …"

Xiao Lan suddenly turned her head to face Xuanyuan Yun again, giving him a mischievous wink.

"So, even if my daughter dies, she belongs to the Regent. No one can do anything to her."

"You!"

Xuanyuan Hong Xi instantly felt as if Xiao Lan's words had made him swallow a stone, causing his heart to ache and his throat to become parched.

Xiao Lan continued to smile beautifully.

"Your Majesty, how can this subject not come and thank you for such a favor?"

"You!"

After Xuanyuan Hongxi said the word "you", the entire hall became silent and everyone held their breath.

She was using an invisible knife to stab His Majesty in the face.

The hall became even quieter.

In the midst of the crowd, only Yu-An revealed a gratified smile. After a moment, he secretly raised his head and smiled happily at Xiao Lan's back.

This scene just happened to fall into Xuanyuan Hongxi's eyes. For a moment, Xuanyuan Hongxi was on the verge of breaking his fingers under his dragon robe.

What a great family! Although on the surface, they were supporting him, Xuanyuan Hongxi, but in reality, they were secretly leaning towards their own daughter, towards the Regent!

Good, very good!

As Xuanyuan Hongxi's expression grew more and more solemn, the atmosphere in the hall started to become more and more stifling. Just as the air was being suppressed to the extreme, Duanmu Zimo stood up from his seat.

"Emperor EastHan, are you going to proclaim your intentions or not?"

The atmosphere in the room changed once again.

Gao Yuan looked towards Xuanyuan Hongxi with a face full of shock. He had held up the imperial edict for a long time and wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to. Luckily, Crown Prince Nanxuan had opened his mouth.

Xuanyuan Hongxi looked frighteningly at Xiao Lan.

If this decree was made public, he, Xuanyuan Hongxi, would become the Emperor who went back on his word. If an Emperor could even disobey his own decree, what sort of reputation could he have in the future?

But if this decree was not announced, what would happen to the alliance between Donghan and Nanxuan!?

"Clang!"

Xuanyuan Hong Xi, who was riding a tiger and couldn't get down, threw the glass of wine in front of him a few meters away.

All of the ministers trembled as they prostrated themselves on the ground.

Just at this moment, Xiao Lan suddenly said in a soft voice, "Your majesty, are you angry?"

Instantly, everyone looked at Xiao Lan as if they were looking at a monster.

Xuanyuan Hong Xi's eyes were like sharp blades that could not wait to cut Xiao Lan into a thousand pieces.

The more Xuanyuan Hongxi acted like this, the more Xiao Lan continued with a faint smile on his face, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Your wife will show you something and you won't be angry after reading it."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Lan looked towards the door and said, "Afterimage, hand over the item."

Soon, an afterimage appeared at the entrance of the main hall. In his hand was a brown wooden tray. The tray was very large and it was obvious that there was something on it. However, one could not see what it was because of the thick red substance that covered it.

This is...

Everyone's eyes could not help but be drawn over, including the haughty Xuanyuan Hongxi, whose anger was unable to be quelled.

However, there were also those who were uninterested. Xuanyuan Yun and Duanmu Zimo were still staring intently at Xiao Lan.

The former's gaze was calm, but if one were to look closely, one would be able to see the hidden love in his eyes.

Besides being cold, the latter was also ice-cold.

After Shadow walked to the bottom of the main hall and greeted him respectfully, Xuanyuan Hong looked at Xiao Lan with a slightly lower level of anger.

"What did you bring?"

Xiao Lan took a step toward the afterimage. Her finger gently rested on the red silk before she pinched a corner of the red silk.

"Of course it's something that makes the emperor happy. Does the emperor want to see it?"

The crowd didn't expect that "Wanda Yi" would dare to mock the Emperor at this time. They were completely shocked.

Even Xuan Yuan slightly frowned. "You Lanyi."

She was addicted.

Hearing Xuanyuan Yun's voice, Xiao Lan turned around to face him, "Looks like my Prince wants to watch it too. Alright then."

Xiao Lan exerted a little more strength, and the red silk completely slipped off the wooden tray.

The afterimage was also very cooperative, raising the tray up high so that Xuanyuan Hong Xi could see it more clearly.

When Xuanyuan Hong saw what was on the tray, he was startled. Then, he quickly walked down the stage and arrived in front of the afterimage within a few steps.

"This is, this …"

Xuanyuan Hong gripped the items on the tray tightly and quickly looked at Xiao Lan.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Hong Xi was extremely excited, Xiao Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Xuanyuan Hongxi was interested, if he wasn't, she wouldn't have been able to do anything.

"That's right, your majesty, this is the powerful crossbow that the Sleeping Dragon Pavilion wasn't able to forge."

Only now did the crowd in the distance clearly see what Xiao Lan brought with him. It was an extremely valiant crossbow. Its appearance was exquisite and dazzling, and its interior was sharp and sharp. It was simply an unprecedented weapon of war.

At this moment, the kneeling You An couldn't help but to stand up and stare at the crossbow.

Didn't they say that the Wolong Pavilion couldn't be created?

Who did this?

Could it be …

Wei An was stunned by his own thoughts, but he couldn't stop his gaze from darting towards Xiao Lan.
