The ministers dared not have any opinion, quickly bowing their heads and saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"
What could they say? What dared they say? They could only say that as long as the other party was happy!
If the other party was happy, they could maintain their positions as ministers of the Xingluo Empire...
As for the interests of the Xingluo Empire, didn't they see the rulers didn't care? Why should they seek trouble?
Emperor Xingluo turned his gaze to one of the ministers, "You, go ahead and arrange for the Martial Soul Hall to establish multiple sub-halls within the Xingluo Empire territory according to Pope Bibi Dong's demands!"
The latter pointed to himself, bewildered, "Ah? Me??"
Emperor Xingluo was somewhat displeased, "What? You are unwilling?"
What was with these guys? As ministers, shouldn't they all eagerly want to showcase themselves?
Such an important task was entrusted to someone, yet he was unwilling, as if he were being forced to his death!
The minister, upon hearing this, smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, of course I am willing."
"There's just one issue that needs your clarification!"
Emperor Xingluo nodded slightly without saying much, "Alright, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance."
The former sighed in relief, then asked, "Your Majesty, though you allow the Martial Soul Hall to establish sub-halls within the Xingluo Empire, what if Pope Bibi Dong wants to establish them in rather sensitive areas?"
His voice lowered significantly, "For example... near the Imperial Palace?"
Emperor Xingluo froze for a moment, also caught off guard....
He cupped his chin in contemplation, "Hmm... the issues you raise are indeed problematic!"
Allowing the Martial Soul Hall to recklessly establish sub-halls near the palace and in critical areas is certainly not permissible!
Otherwise, it could potentially affect the royal household's rule, and he couldn't allow that to happen!
He quickly made a decision...
"If the Martial Soul Hall requests to establish sub-halls near the palace or in crucial Xingluo Empire areas, such excessive demands should be immediately refused without hesitation!"
"Of course, if it's in peripheral areas, then they can go ahead!"
Surely, Pope Bibi Dong is not foolish, and she would not act so blatantly even with permission!
The minister understood the bottom line of the former and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"
Emperor Xingluo did not continue this topic, instead asking, "Where is that boy Davis?"
It seemed he had not seen the other party in the hall since the last incident!
The ministers apparently were puzzled, unsure why the former asked this...
But they still answered truthfully, "In reply to Your Majesty, Prince Davis is still in confinement."
Emperor Xingluo furrowed his brow, "Still in confinement? Hadn't I said he could leave once he understands?"
The nearest minister swallowed his saliva, "Perhaps... Prince Davis feels he has betrayed Your Majesty's trust from the last incident and has yet to forgive himself?"
Emperor Xingluo merely coldly chuckled at this, "Heh, betrayed my trust and hasn't forgiven himself?"
"It would be nice if that child really felt that way!"
"Send my orders to bring Davis here!"
As his voice fell, the Imperial Soldiers charged with guarding the palace responded in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Before long, Davis was brought to the hall....
Only to see him look somewhat apprehensively at Emperor Xingluo, softly and tremulously saying, "Greetings, Father Emperor!"
His appearance made Emperor Xingluo feel displeased. He immediately questioned, "Davis, it's only been a few days, why have you become like this?"
Davis lowered his head, softly saying, "Father... Father Emperor, regarding the cooperation, I betrayed your trust, so naturally, I have no face to see you."
Seeing this, Emperor Xingluo felt even more irritable, "Hah, stupid fool, haven't you realized where you went wrong yet?"
This immediately startled Davis, who quickly clasped his hands and said, "Father Emperor, please calm down. I am foolish and have failed to grasp the deep meaning."
Damn, he just wanted to play miserable before Father Emperor, but it seemed to have backfired!
Emperor Xingluo shouted angrily, "You went wrong by being overly clever. If you weren't my prince, even if Pope Bibi Dong executed you on the spot, no one would dare oppose, understand?"
Davis pressed his lips together, "Father Emperor, please calm down, I understand. This will never happen again."
Emperor Xingluo sneered coldly, "Hmph, as for the confinement, let's put it aside for now. I called you here today to assign you a task."
Davis' expression shifted to surprise, then delight, "Father Emperor, please speak. If it is something I can do, I will not refuse."
Whew, fortunately!
Though Father Emperor seemed angry, he seemed to have a thread of trust in me!
As long as I seize this opportunity, perhaps it will change his view!
Emperor Xingluo's expression finally softened a bit. Then, word by word, he said, "I want you to represent the Xingluo Empire and head to the Tiandou Empire Palace to negotiate cooperation details with Xue Ye. Do you have the courage?"
Davis was stunned, "Head to the Tiandou Empire Palace?? Father Emperor, I'm just a prince and apparently have no qualifications to directly negotiate with the Emperor of Tiandou Empire..."
He thought it was a good thing, but this matter seems even tougher than going to Martial Soul City!
The Emperor of Tiandou Empire is certainly not a person of gentle disposition!!
Emperor Xingluo did not deny, "I naturally know you have no qualification. You only need to maintain the image of the Star Luo Royal Family. This time, the negotiations with Xue Ye will mainly be handled by these ministers!"
After speaking, he glanced at the ministers with his eyes...
The gathered people quickly understood, lowering their heads...
Only then did Davis recover, "Father Emperor, if that's the case, I certainly won't disgrace the face of the Star Luo Royal Family!"
Fortunately, fortunately, I am just a side piece this time!
As long as I don't act too outrageously like last time, it should be much easier!
Emperor Xingluo nodded, "Very good, only then are you worthy to be my prince of the Xingluo Empire."
Now he finally looked the part, previously he was a state I couldn't help but want to slap a few times!
...
After leaving the hall...
The ministers responsible for this trip immediately found Davis, sincerely advising him....
"Prince Davis, this time, please refrain from doing anything excessive without permission. Let us handle everything."
"Indeed, this is a good chance to solidify your position as prince, Prince Davis, so no mistakes can occur again, otherwise, Your Majesty's blame won't be as lenient as last time."
"Prince Davis, it's not that we don't trust you, but the recollection of last time is still fresh, so we need to remind you beforehand."
Davis did not show any discontent, respectfully replying, "Last time was my oversight, this time I will follow your arrangements!"
