In the capital of the Hai Kingdom, outside the palace.
The huge space outside the palace had been completely cleared. After all, it was impossible for the Teleportation Portal to go directly from the city of Meng Kingdom to the palace. Therefore, everyone had to gather here and enter the palace through the main gate.
The large Teleportation Portal lit up, and people walked out one by one and lined up in a formation. Not long after, the Queen and Lu An also walked out. Looking at the completely different palace gate and the countless onlookers a hundred zhang away, the Queen felt too ashamed to show her face.
Her visit was undoubtedly a big deal. Countless people wanted to see the majesty of the Queen of another country, but she knew what she was there for. Thinking of this, her face burned.
Soon, everyone walked out of the Teleportation Portal. The light of the Teleportation Portal disappeared, and immediately, solemn music played on the walls of the palace.
As the music played, the palace gate was pushed open bit by bit. The long passage that appeared in front of her was filled with guards and ministers. In order to welcome the Queen of Meng, the Hai Kingdom had given her enough face on the surface.
Looking at the long passage in front of her, the Queen felt like an abyss of hell. Before she was ready, the Minister of Rites, Gao Shanyi, shouted in front of the group, "Enter!"
The Queen's body trembled. She could not reprimand Gao Shanyi in public. She could only enter the carriage prepared by the Hai Kingdom and follow the group into the palace.
Lu An stood on the right side of the carriage and moved forward. After entering the palace, the Queen looked at Lu An from time to time. Only by looking at Lu An constantly could she feel at ease. However, if she kept doing this, it would be easy for someone to find out.
"Don't look at me." Lu An's voice appeared directly in the Queen's Sea of Consciousness. He said, "Look forward. I won't leave."
The Queen's body trembled slightly. She bit her lower lip and turned to look forward.
The Hai Kingdom's palace was huge. The group walked for half an hour in the palace before arriving at the gate of the main square of the main hall. When the guards outside the gate saw the group arrive, they pushed the gate open. Immediately, a vast field of vision appeared. In front of them was a huge square and a huge main hall at the end of the square.
In the main hall, the King of the Hai Kingdom stood above and looked down at the gate in the distance.
The distance between the two parties was at least two thousand feet. However, when the Hai Kingdom's King and the Meng Kingdom's Queen looked at each other, the Hai Kingdom's King's eyes were filled with arrogance. It was completely different from before!
Even though Queen Liu Shan had applied rouge, her face was still pale. However, under Gao Shangyi's command, the procession did not stop moving forward. They immediately entered the square.
There was a huge red carpet in the middle of the square, and there were countless guards standing on both sides. The long procession went down the red carpet and stopped in the middle, for the Queen had to get down from the carriage.
This was basic etiquette. Even the queen had to dismount halfway to show her respect for the Hai Kingdom.
The Queen walked down from the carriage. According to the rules, she needed to be supported by attendants. The Queen naturally reached out her hand to Lu An. Lu An was startled. He knew that the Queen was looking for a sense of security. He raised his hand to help the Queen down.
Then, the group continued to move forward until they reached the steps of the main hall. There were sixty-six steps in total, and the queen walked from the center of the group to the front, leading the others forward. This time, not all the attendants could follow. Only the closest attendants could follow, and the rest had to wait below the stage. One of the two attendants next to the Queen was Lu An.
The eight ministers naturally had to follow the queen up the steps. Soon, everyone reached the platform outside the main hall. The Hai Kingdom's King took the initiative to walk forward, and the Hai Kingdom's ministers immediately followed, welcoming the Meng people.
Seeing the Hai Kingdom's King walk towards her, Queen Liu Shan felt her legs go weak, and she did not want to take a step forward.
Lu An felt the Queen's reaction. He frowned slightly and used his power to envelop the Queen, pushing her forward so that she would not show any obvious signs of abnormality.
Finally, both sides stopped. The Hai Kingdom's King, who was at the front, was only one step away from the Meng Kingdom's King.
Queen Liu Shan's breathing almost stopped, but the Hai Kingdom's King had a clear smile on his face.
According to the rules, Liu Shan, who was visiting, should be the first to greet the King. However, the nervous Queen could not say a word. Seeing this, the Meng Kingdom's King did not blame her at all. Instead, his smile became even wider as he said, "The last time I saw Queen Meng was two years ago. It is This King's honor to see you again!"
Hearing the Hai Kingdom's King's flattery, Liu Shan felt even more disgusted. However, she knew that she could not remain silent, so she lightly breathed in and said, "Greetings, Hai Kingdom's King."
"Haha!" the Hai Kingdom's King loudly laughed and said to Queen Meng, "Please come in!"
Immediately, the Hai Kingdom's King and the Meng Kingdom's King entered the main hall, and the ministers from both sides immediately followed. The two sides had just met, so they naturally would not immediately negotiate. Instead, they would hold a banquet. Both sides would put aside politics and history to enjoy themselves. However, this process was very difficult for Queen Meng to endure.
On the high platform, the Hai Kingdom's King and the Meng Kingdom's Queen sat on one side, and the two of them were very close to each other. According to the rules, the Meng Kingdom's Queen's attendants could not come close to the Hai Kingdom's King. In other words, everyone on the high platform was from the Hai Kingdom, and these people were undoubtedly from the Heaven Sovereign Sect.
The Hai Kingdom's King was the Sect Master of the Heaven Sovereign Sect. At this moment, all the ministers in the main hall were members of the Heaven Sovereign Sect, so he could do whatever he wanted. Under his plan, he and Queen Meng shared a long table. In reality, he was only one person away from the Queen.
At this distance, he could reach out and touch her.
When Queen Meng saw this chair, she knew that the other party was up to no good. However, under these circumstances, she could not refuse and could only bite the bullet and sit down. As expected, the Hai Kingdom's King quickly reached out and wanted to touch her. He did not care about the maids behind him at all.
When Queen Liu Shan saw this, she wanted to use her hand to cover her face, but she was afraid that the ministers below would notice, so she could only glare angrily at the Hai Kingdom's King. However, the Hai Kingdom's King did not care at all. Instead, he looked at Liu Shan with a smile and said some inconsequential words.
However, less than three breaths after the Hai Kingdom's King made his move, the Meng Kingdom's Queen was so angry that her eyes turned red. Suddenly, the Hai Kingdom's King's eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically. His cheeky smile suddenly turned into an expression of extreme pain, and he raised his hands to cover his heart!
Bang bang!!
The Hai Kingdom's King's actions directly knocked over the delicacies on the table in front of him. Immediately, the singing and dancing in the main hall stopped, and all the ministers quieted down!
The Hai Kingdom's ministers quickly looked at the King. Two of them rushed to the King's side and asked anxiously, "King, what's wrong with you?!"
"Woo … woo …"
The Hai Kingdom's King obviously wanted to say something, but he could not say a word! This scene directly frightened all the ministers of the Hai Kingdom. They quickly stopped the banquet and immediately took the King away for the Heavenly Healing Master to treat him.
The extremely sudden situation made the eight ministers of the Meng Kingdom completely dumbfounded. After the King was sent away, the Hai Kingdom's Minister of Rites came to Queen Liu Shan and said respectfully, "The Queen is suddenly affected by this matter. Please go and rest first. The King will definitely visit you in person later."
Hearing his words, the Queen only nodded slightly and did not say anything.
The Queen led the ministers to their residence to rest. Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong were completely dumbfounded. They did not know what was going on. The Queen asked all the eight ministers to gather together to discuss matters. No one was allowed to slack off. Gao Shangyi and Gao Yong were both trapped and could not cause trouble for her.
Soon, the Queen and Lu An were alone in the room. When there was no one else, the Queen quickly asked Lu An, "Pharmacist Lu, did you do what just happened?"
"Yes." Lu An nodded. He had indeed done what had just happened. The Hai Kingdom's King was only at the beginning of Level Seven. There was a huge gap between them. In addition, the Hai Kingdom's King was so proud that he did not notice the cold air that Lu An had hidden in the air. The cold air directly hit the Hai Kingdom's King's heart. His frozen heart naturally caused the Hai Kingdom's King to be in so much pain that he could not say a word. He could only stop all his actions and treat it.
The Queen was overjoyed when she heard this. However, she still had the elixir. She asked, "What if the other party suspects something?"
"They won't." Lu An said, "I know some medical skills. The Hai Kingdom's King has a black spot under his eyes and his lips are dark. It's obvious that he has an old heart disease. In addition, he won't believe that there are other Level Seven Celestial Masters around, so he must have thought that his internal injury was acting up. "
Upon hearing Lu An's explanation, the Queen was relieved. Indeed, it was impossible for a pharmacist to make such a big mistake. She quickly asked, "What should we do next?"
"Wait," Lu An said. "The other party won't be able to treat my cold air in a short time, so he won't come looking for trouble with you. I believe that there's a time limit for sending you to the Sect Master. It's impossible for him to wait too long. In other words, after he recovers, he won't have time to do anything to you. You just have to wait here for him to take you away. "
