34. The Opportunity Has Arrived
"Xia Lulu, you're scheming against me!!"
Xia Yi was taken aback. The other party had deliberately exposed a flaw to lure her into a trap.
If she had done nothing, she wouldn't have lost anything.
But she just had to be impulsive…
Now she had to drink bitter gourd juice again.
"I said… I have to drink… bitter gourd juice…"
Xia Yi clutched her skirt, her voice was as difficult as squeezing toothpaste.
She turned her head and glared at Sera.
Sera, however, was very innocent and whispered, "Princess, I just answered truthfully according to your wishes."
Now she was really eating a bitter pill, who could she complain to? The bitter gourd hell was not over yet.
"Forget it, you can't change this habit all at once, let's leave the bitter gourd juice for next time," Xia Lulu suddenly changed her attitude, "Clean up the dining table, Lucia, there are still important things to deal with this morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lucia replied.
"Eh?"
Xia Yi was a bit surprised.
Then, Xia Lulu got up and left just like that.
Watching her leaving figure, Xia Yi was very curious, why did this woman suddenly let her go?
Could it be that she had softened her heart?
This was the Silver Dragon Queen who ruled the Dragon Clan, and we were enemies!
Xia Yi's mood was a bit complicated.
On the other hand, Sera on the side showed a somewhat regretful expression.
"Sera, what does your expression mean, why is it so strange?" Xia Yi asked.
"No, Princess, you misunderstood, I'm happy for you, after all, you escaped a disaster, didn't you?" Sera showed a professional smile, which was as sincere as the real one.
"What important thing did Xia Lulu say just now?"
"Don't you know?"
"I don't know."
"It's about our vassal state, someone from the vassal state has come to see the queen." Sera explained.
Vassal state?
Upon hearing these three words, Xia Yi's ears perked up, could it be that her chance was coming!
"Which country is it from?"
"Blackstone Kingdom."
"Good!"
Xia Yi slapped the chair and stood up abruptly, looking very excited.
"I've been waiting for this!"
…
In the grand hall of the Dragon Clan's palace, Xia Lulu sat on the throne symbolizing the power of the Dragon Clan. The whole body was made of black metal, entwined with silver thorns, and the light fell on it through the glass behind the throne, making the Dragon Clan's throne seem to glow.
To be honest, a loli sitting on a huge throne was indeed a bit strange.
Perhaps everyone who could sit in this position was a strong person, and no one in the entire Dragon Clan had any doubts about Xia Lulu's position, and their hearts were filled with awe.
Also present were members of the royal maid team, including Sera and Lucia, whom Xia Yi recognized at a glance.
As for Xia Yi…
She was standing next to Xia Lulu.
The maids found this scene quite strange, after all, the princess rarely appeared here, she often didn't care about these things.
"Mother, I heard that the people from Blackstone Kingdom want to see you?" the little princess asked.
"Yes."
"Then mother, let me meet them too."
"I remember you didn't like to see foreigners before, did you?" Xia Lulu asked.
"I'm learning, after all, I'm the heir to the Dragon Clan, I should get to know the people from the vassal states," Xia Yi lied with a straight face, "After all, I am the Dragon Clan's princess!"
"Of course, there's no problem with that. My daughter has really grown up, she's even starting to care about national affairs." Xia Lulu replied with satisfaction.
Success!
Humph, Xia Lulu, you're falling into my trap step by step.
Xia Yi kept her composure on the surface.
After waiting for a while, a guard came to report that the people from Blackstone Kingdom were seeking an audience. After Xia Lulu agreed, the people from Blackstone Kingdom entered.
Xia Yi saw the lizard people.
Leading the group was a lizard person dressed in expensive silk, adorned with luxurious accessories. His behavior and demeanor were different from the other lizard people. He was surrounded by others, clearly of high status.
Following him was a tall lizard man with a fierce scar on his face and old wounds all over his body, clearly a veteran warrior.
"Silver Dragon Queen, greetings. I am the prince of Blackstone Kingdom, Gu Ya. I have heard much about your reputation from my father, and I have always admired you. Today, I am truly honored to meet you. Please allow me to express my respect to the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom."
He bowed to Xia Lulu.
Blackstone Kingdom is a vassal state, nominally a subject relationship.
The lizard man's followers brought up the gifts and placed them in front of Xia Lulu. They were all valuable items.
Lucia stepped forward to check and count them, then nodded to Xia Lulu.
"Didn't the king of Blackstone Kingdom come?" Xia Lulu asked indifferently.
"My father…" Gu Ya fell silent for a moment, "Silver Dragon Queen, our Blackstone Kingdom is in a state of civil strife. My father was murdered by my uncle, who took all my power. Now, most of the people in Blackstone Kingdom have chosen to follow that despicable and shameless guy, my uncle. I hope you can lend a hand."
"Prince Gu Ya, I am deeply saddened by the plight of the king of Blackstone Kingdom." Xia Lulu said calmly.
"Are you going to sit back and do nothing?"
"No, rest assured, Prince Gu Ya, I will, on behalf of the Dragon Kingdom, express a strong condemnation to your uncle." Xia Lulu's expression was ambiguous.
The lizard man was hot-tempered and couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, but he was stopped by a look from Gu Ya.
It was clear that Gu Ya had anticipated this situation and calmly took out a scroll and opened it.
The scroll floated up and projected an image of a dragon with a majestic figure, full of oppression. Even Xia Lulu's eyes changed.
"Silver Dragon Queen, this is the decree of the previous Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom. He once promised that if Blackstone Kingdom is in trouble, the Dragon Kingdom will definitely help, even if it's only once. Now is the time of national crisis for our Blackstone Kingdom, so the Dragon Kingdom should fulfill its promise."
Gu Ya's voice was very loud, so that all the dragons could hear.
Xia Lulu fell into a subtle silence.
Seeing the reaction of the Silver Dragon Queen, Gu Ya straightened his back with satisfaction, waiting for Xia Lulu to personally say that she would help Blackstone Kingdom resolve the civil strife.
At this moment, Xia Yi knew her chance had come.
"Prince Gu Ya, lying is not a good habit."
All eyes were on Xia Yi. "You are the Silver Dragon Princess, aren't you?" Gu Ya sneered, "Could it be that you want to defy the decree of the previous Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom…"
However, with just one sentence, Xia Yi left Gu Ya speechless, his expression in chaos, as if he had fallen into an eternal ice cave.
