Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 242 Princess Lu Jinyou

Lu Jinxian did not attend the welcoming banquet, and it's easy to guess why.

Leng Qingyi let Lu Jinxian walk back to the palace only because she was worried that it would cause her unnecessary trouble.

They didn't intend for him to be able to move around freely as if nothing had happened after losing his manhood.

His absence does not mean he can avoid this welcome banquet.

This welcoming banquet was not just for the delegation from Dongxia.

Upon learning that the Emperor of Dongxia was personally coming to Nanqiu to attend the Emperor's birthday celebration, various countries urgently adjusted their envoys.

Unlike in the past, when a member of the royal family or a diplomatic official was casually sent along with gifts to offer birthday greetings.

Those who came this time were all key figures from various countries, or at the very least, important officials with a reputation in the court.

It's important to know that Northern Winter was destroyed, and Western Spring, located in a perpetually cold region, had the weakest presence among the four kingdoms.

The two strongest nations on this land right now are none other than Southern Autumn and Eastern Xia.

A newly emerging superpower that has just annexed the North, and a long-established superpower with a profound history.

The relationship between these two countries will affect the entire world situation, so they must send high-ranking officials to keep a close eye on the situation to prevent missing any opportunities.

When they saw the overwhelming reports about what the Crown Prince of Nanqiu had done, they were incredibly grateful that it was them who had come instead of those incompetent fools in the royal family.

The Eastern Xia Emperor's visit this time is not well-intentioned.

As soon as the banquet began, someone asked about Lu Jinxian's whereabouts, but Emperor Nanqiu turned the question away, citing illness.

During this period, many people mentioned the incriminating evidence circulating in the streets and alleys, but Emperor Nanqiu and a group of Nanqiu officials used fabricated reasons to refute it.

Leng Qingyi never mentioned this matter from beginning to end, as if it had nothing to do with her.

The envoys from the various countries who were observing the situation were all puzzled as to what the Emperor of Dongxia was really up to.

Those pieces of evidence were clearly released by the Eastern Xia Emperor, yet now he's not even demanding an explanation from the Southern Qiu Emperor.

Could it be that the Eastern Xia Emperor has ulterior motives, or that he made some secret deal with the Southern Qiu Emperor?

Various speculations arose in the minds of the envoys from various countries, and the subtle misunderstandings among the group were clearly seen by Leng Qingyi and Emperor Nanqiu at the head of the table.

Leng Qingyi didn't care what they were thinking, since it wouldn't do her any harm anyway.

She is the victim in this matter; it is Emperor Nanqiu who should be worried.

I don't know if this old scoundrel has forgotten or simply doesn't care that she still has a son in her hands.

They had been in Nanqiu for two days, yet no one had mentioned Lu Jinmin.

Even the Empress, who sat at the head of the table, looked calm and composed, showing no sign of having a son whose fate had been unknown for nearly a year.

Leng Qingyi didn't mention anything about Lu Jinxian and Lu Jinmin until the banquet was almost over, showing an attitude of indifference.

This further fueled suspicion among the envoys of various countries.

"The young Emperor of Dongxia not only manages the affairs of the country in an orderly manner, but he can also lead troops into battle. He is truly a rare talent."

Leng Qing raised an eyebrow and looked mockingly at the old emperor of Nanqiu at the head of the table.

"I have a daughter who has long told me that she admires you, but unfortunately she fell ill and couldn't go when she went to Dongxia last time. It's quite a coincidence that you have come to Nanqiu in person this time. I wonder if you are interested in establishing good relations between the two countries?"

"Father, do you really have to say this in front of so many people?"

Following the sound, a pretty woman sitting opposite Leng Qingyi was looking at Emperor Nanqiu with a coquettish expression, her eyes glancing at Leng Qingyi intentionally or unintentionally.

"I've long heard that Princess Nanqiu is stunningly beautiful, and seeing her today, I can confirm it's true. Emperor Dongxia is truly blessed."

"Hahaha, what do you think, Emperor of Dongxia?"

Leng Qingyi glanced at the woman and agreed without hesitation.

Princess Nanqiu looked at Leng Qingyi with a shy and timid expression, her eyes gentle and tender, making one's bones melt.

Leng Qingyi nodded politely to Princess Lu Jinyou of Nanqiu, showing neither the joy of receiving a beauty nor the displeasure of being forced to have a woman by her.

After the banquet, Lu Jinyou took the initiative to see off the ministers from Dongxia.

Leng Qingyi did not refuse, and the two walked one after the other on the palace road, their figures indescribably well-matched.

"Your Majesty, may I call you Brother A-Yuan?"

"If the princess is happy, that's good."

"I heard that Brother Ayuan brought the Empress with him this time. Why didn't you bring her today?"

"She was feeling unwell due to the long journey and was resting at the embassy."

"Oh? Is that so? Have you consulted the imperial physician?"

"A couple of days of rest will do the trick, it's nothing serious."

"May I visit my sister, the Empress, tomorrow?"

"Of course, the Empress and I welcome the Princess's arrival."

"By the way, Brother Ayuan, didn't my fifth brother come back with you? How come we haven't seen him for two days?"

Don't you know why?

"Ah? Why?"

Leng Qing didn't even spare a glance for the woman beside him, a faint, mocking smile playing on his lips.

"You can ask your elder brother, the Crown Prince, and your father and mother. As for whether they will tell you the truth, I don't know."

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious, Brother Ayuan?"

"Princess, this is where we'll leave you!"

Leng Qing ignored him and left the palace without looking back.

Naturally, he didn't see the woman behind him with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake.
