NovelEnglishThese days, Lin Feilu often knelt before Emperor Lin’s coffin and remained immersed in her thoughts. She was even thinking about writing a letter to Little Pretty Boy and requesting him not to join forces with the Yong Kingdom. However, under what capacity of hers could the request be made? He was now the Emperor of an entire empire, so how much weight could their illusory ‘friendship’ have on him?
Truth be told, she was actually slightly happy when she saw the covenant offer.
She was glad that she still mattered that much in his heart— at least enough to stand a chance to extinguish the flames of war.
Besides, there was also her selfishness at play.

Lin Feilu didn’t know when the feeling of attraction planted a firm seed inside her heart, but it stayed rooted and sprouted little by little. Over the years, it grew up silently, and by the time she realized it, the sapling had become a flower that coursed through her blood.
Since she could have both, what other reason did she not have to agree to the marriage? In this era, many people didn’t have the right to choose, so she was considered very fortunate.
Lin Feilu pursed her lower lip and handed the covenant to Lin Qing with both hands, “Brother Emperor, let me go.”
Lin Qing’s body was tense and straight. His thin lips were tightly pressed as he looked at her motionlessly.
She smiled sweetly, revealing the two dimples on her cheeks “Take it as Little Lu’s enthronement gift to Brother Emperor.”
Lin Qing’s eyes gradually turned red before he turned around with a swipe of his sleeves. He then spoke with an awkward stiffness in his voice, “Let me think about it for a few more days.”
Nevertheless, with the current state of affairs, the people were in a state of panic, and the Yong Kingdom was about to make a move, so there was not much time left for him to think.
Lin Feilu repeatedly stated that her agreement was voluntary as she liked the young Emperor of the Song Empire. Although Lin Qing ultimately regarded that his younger sister was bluffing, the end result was him stamping the Great Lin Empire’s jade seal on the covenant.
Five days later, both empires announced to the world at the same time that Emperor Song had proposed to marry Princess Yong An of the Great Lin Empire. With the marriage in place, the two empires would form an alliance.

Xi Xun led their troops to Mount Yong to prevent the Yong army from launching an attack. Then, half of the Song troops marched north along River Huai, blocking some of the Yong Kingdom’s troops who were preparing to ambush the Great Lin Empire.
The Yong Kingdom, which was about to annex the Great Lin Empire, went “???”
What the f*ck?!
When Emperor Yong heard about this, he threw the battle report on the Third Prince’s head, “This is what you meant when you said that he wasn’t interested in women?!”
The Third Prince, who was sent to the Song Empire, “…”
How could he know what was going on???
Those idiots from the Central Plains were simply outrageous!!!
It was not until the edict was issued that the people in the palace knew about the agreement between the two empires.
