35. You're Really Good At Acting
"In accordance with the imperial edict of the late emperor, Gu Ya, you are the one who should be exterminated!"
Xia Yi's words caused Gu Ya's gaze to waver.
"The Blackstone Kingdom was once invaded by the Orcs of neighboring countries. The King of Blackstone, in order to drive the Orcs away from his land, chose to ask for help from his brother, your uncle Gudan. He even personally promised that after his death, he would hand over the throne to Gudan. Gudan is the rightful heir to the Blackstone Kingdom, not you, Prince Gu Ya."
The Silver Dragon Princess's remarks were something Gu Ya had never expected.
A high and mighty arrogant dragon race, even a royal family with silver dragon blood, who looked down upon the vassal states from the bottom of their hearts, would actually be willing to understand the situation?
It's too unbelievable!
Xia Yi didn't care much about these things before, but in order to be able to run away from the dragon race, she spent a lot of time sorting out the situation of all the vassal states. She marked those that could be used in detail and understood the history of recent years. She believed that there were opportunities for her.
For example, the Blackstone Kingdom of the lizard race, which was one of her key marks.
The King of Blackstone was indeed cunning. He had long anticipated that his brother would have ulterior motives and would seize the country after his death. So he played this trick. When Gudan really seized power, he let Gu Ya come to the Dragon Kingdom, using the dragon race's only promise to kill Gudan, so that his descendants could sleep peacefully.
The calculation was really brilliant, and even the dragon race was calculated.
"Nonsense, there is no such… thing!" Gu Ya choked and retorted.
"Hehe."
Xia Lulu suddenly sneered, making the lizard race shudder.
"Prince Gu Ya, you don't need to explain too much about what you said. Gudan has already seen me and has truthfully reported all the situations to me. I didn't expect… Prince Gu Ya, you are blinded by interests, for power, you are willing to murder your own father. Such a scum like you, indeed, does not deserve to be the king of Blackstone. Gudan also emphasized many times that his inheritance of Blackstone is just a temporary measure because there is no suitable candidate."
"I didn't!! How could I possibly murder my most respected father? It's all made up by that bastard Gudan!!" Gu Ya roared.
But who would believe it?
Only the lizard race would believe it, the dragon race would not, they only believed in their queen.
After all, what the queen said is the truth.
Xia Yi was a little confused, thinking, isn't Xia Lulu drinking tea in the garden every afternoon? Where has she seen Gudan…
Oh!
She suddenly understood, good guy, it's not a bad woman, it's all a performance to scare people.
"Silver Dragon Queen, even if you are the queen who rules the Dragon Kingdom, you are absolutely not allowed to slander our prince! Take back your words--"
The lizard giant glared angrily, ready to demand an explanation.
"Kneel down."
The high heels stepped on the head of the lizard giant, forcing him to bow his head to Xia Lulu.
The lizard giant felt humiliated, his veins bulging with anger, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all.
The lizard people were stunned.
The one stepping on him was Lucia, one of the members of the royal maid team.
"Except for Gu Ya, none of you have the right to converse with the queen, not even to look at her." Lucia's expression was cold, and her domineering aura was full.
"Your Majesty, do we need to deal with these Blackstone rebels on your behalf?"
Sera, her sister, seemed to be smiling on the surface, but was full of murderous intent.
"General Hei Ya, can't you even resist…"
Gu Ya was completely shocked by the strength of the royal maid sisters.
The royal maid team of the Dragon Palace had a reputation, who would dare to make trouble?
"Ah," Xia Lulu sighed softly, murmuring, "Gudan is really stubborn, he stubbornly refused the request to cooperate in mining the magic crystal vein, even though it's a win-win opportunity…"
This sentence seemed to be deliberately said to Gu Ya, who was stunned.
The Blackstone Kingdom, as its name suggests, is rich in a rare black magic crystal vein. This magic crystal vein has a high hardness and an excellent magic conduction rate. It is very suitable as a weapon material. The Blackstone Kingdom can stand on the northern continent because they can control the magic crystal vein in the country.
Prince Gu Ya stared blankly at the Silver Dragon Queen, a thought emerged, and he shouted, "Silver Dragon Queen, I am willing to represent the Blackstone Kingdom and cooperate with the Dragon Kingdom to jointly mine the magic crystal vein in our country!!"
As soon as these words came out, the lizard people were dumbfounded, especially the lizard giant, General Hei Ya, who was even more excited.
"Your Highness, you must not!! The magic crystal vein is the foundation of our Blackstone Kingdom, it is the lifeblood of our lizard race, the foreign races have long coveted it, how can we hand it over--"
"Shut up."
Lucia stepped on him again, causing cracks in the floor and burying General Hei Ya's face in it, making him unable to make a sound.
Xia Lulu looked surprised, "Oh? Prince Gu Ya, are you serious about what you just said?"
Gu Ya was breathing heavily, of course he knew what he was doing.
Asking for help from the Dragon Kingdom, not only can he kill his uncle, but also become the king of Blackstone. As long as he makes this promise, as long as he is alive, the Silver Dragon Queen will definitely guarantee his control of Blackstone. He doesn't have to worry about other rebels at all.
And if he does nothing, there is only one way to die, his uncle will never let him go.
Is there a choice?!
Gu Ya hardened his heart, he would rather not let the power fall into his uncle's hands.
"Silver Dragon Queen, I am serious, but you also understand that my country has now been taken away by the rebels. Even if I agree to your cooperation, I can't realize it."
"After meeting with Prince Gu Ya, I understood that it was indeed Gudan who was the rebel of Blackstone. He killed the King of Blackstone and seized power. Everything he said was a lie, what you said was the truth," Xia Lulu smiled, "Don't worry, Prince Gu Ya, you have the imperial edict of the late king, we, the Dragon Kingdom, will definitely help Blackstone through the national crisis."
Hearing these words, Prince Gu Ya's hanging heart was let go. The high pressure made him a little dazed, and even his expression was a bit distorted.
At this point, who killed the King of Blackstone was no longer important.
The other lizard people were both pained and helpless, they could only sigh in sorrow.
Xia Yi quickly looked at Xia Lulu, her eyes wide open and shining, her tail wagging as if to say "pick me, pick me!"
"Mother, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Xia Yi asked in a low voice, "You said last night that you would agree to one thing for me, and now I want to go to Blackstone Kingdom to help Prince Gu Ya!"
"But, Xia Yi, you have never had any experience in foreign wars…" Xia Lulu was a bit troubled.
"I want to start doing real work! This is a great opportunity to gain experience!"
"Alright, then as you wish." The Silver Dragon Queen had to agree.
Pfft!
Xia Yi chuckled inwardly.
Stupid Xia Lulu, she was completely unaware that she was being manipulated. Taking advantage of this opportunity to send troops, her escape plan was about to succeed!!
Yeah, poor Queen. Having a daughter, earnestly looking after governmental affairs, being cute and working hard to take after her mother. Truly putiful.
