He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Shui Lili happened to come out of the bathroom and found that she was gone, so she asked, "Miss, why did you get up so early?"

Shui Qingli told her the situation. Shui Lili said worriedly, "Can this person really help us? Miss, it's hard to say whether he is a friend or an enemy now."

Shui Qingli had thought about this question before, but she felt that it was a glimmer of hope anyway, so she would rather believe it than not. She would discuss it after Qin Tian woke up.

During breakfast, Shui Qingli told Qin Tian about this. Qin Tian said, "I can't accompany you this morning because I have to go see Shui Danian."

"Okay, as long as you agree to accompany me, I will call the other party now." Shui Qingli said and immediately called Chen Xuan to ask if it would be appropriate to meet in the afternoon.

Chen Xuan said hesitantly that it would be best to do it in the morning, as he might have other things to do in the afternoon. He wondered why Princess Water was so hesitant, shouldn't this matter be resolved as soon as possible?

"But I need someone to go with me, and he is only free in the afternoon," Shui Qingli explained.

Chen Xuan said he understood and said, "Let's meet in the afternoon." But the time is still uncertain, maybe he has something to do in the afternoon, so we can contact each other at noon.

Shui Qingli smiled at Qin Tian and said, "You must be ready after dinner."

"Don't worry, he won't kill me blatantly." Qin Tian said confidently.

Shui Qingli reminded: "Even so, you still have to be careful. Who knows if he might be hiding a master in secret?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Qin Tian comforted her.

After a while, Shui Danian called and said that security guards had gone to meet Qin Tian and laid a red carpet on the road from the guest room to the office to welcome him in a high-level manner. There would also be reporters on the scene.

Shui Qingli didn't expect Shui Danian to be so ostentatious. Qin Tian smiled and said, "Since he has arranged it this way, let's just listen to him. It's not a bad thing anyway."

Speaking of reporters, Shui Qingli immediately checked the official website and saw that the news had been updated since yesterday, and it specifically mentioned the fact that Shui Dazhou passed the throne to Shui Danian. She quickly clicked in to take a look and found that the number of clicks on this news was particularly high.

The news reported the contents of the imperial edict, but the comments section was probably blocked. Shui Qingli showed the news to the two of them.

Zhang Beixing said disdainfully: "This is just the victor talking to himself. There is nothing to see."

The website also specifically stated that due to a website crash some time ago, the news could not be released in a timely manner, and it was only repaired yesterday. In the future, any important news will be announced as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door and Shui Lili quickly opened the door.

A security guard saluted and said that the etiquette team was ready and asked Zhang Beixing to go over.

Zhang Beixing nodded and saw through the window that a red carpet was laid outside, there were many guards waiting, and it seemed that music was playing on the scene.

It was only a three-minute journey, but they had to make it so ceremonial. The security guard saluted Zhang Bei again and invited him to set off.

Zhang Beixing nodded in agreement, and under the guidance of the security guard, he went downstairs and stepped onto the red carpet.

Reporters at the scene began to take pictures, and music started playing. Zhang Beixing walked calmly on the red carpet.

He was not an official figure of the Jiuzhou Empire, so he would not walk side by side with Shui Danian, who could only greet him in front of the office building. But Zhang Beixing knew in his heart that this was already a great respect for him.

However, what is the point of all this fancy show? The key is to get the island issue clear.

This scene was also broadcast live. Wu Jinhua saw it on her phone and immediately said to Chen Yuliang and others, "Look, Zhang Beixing is so impressive!"

Wu Maobin came over and echoed: "I didn't expect the new king to make such a big fuss."

As they were watching, the King's wife suddenly rushed in: "What did you just say? New King?"

Zhu Xiaoling replied dissatisfiedly: "Yes, your husband is hiding somewhere now, and your brother-in-law has become the king."

Soon, Zhang Beixing walked downstairs to the office building. Shui Danian, wearing a tuxedo, greeted him personally. He shook hands and hugged Zhang Beixing, just like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Wu Jinhua sighed: "Shui Danian is such a good actor."

The live broadcast ended, and Wu Yu and Sun Juan returned to their normal lives and went home. The Queen's wife asked again: "Tell me quickly, what is going on?"

Wu Jinhua then recounted the content of the news.

"Impossible! Why would my husband pass the throne to him? This must be a conspiracy." The Queen's wife screamed.

She knew the cruelty of struggle. Even if she knew it was a conspiracy, it would be useless to tell others. Even if everyone believed it, what could be changed? She felt extremely helpless.

Chen Yuliang deliberately provoked her: "When your husband was in power, the island was not given to us. Maybe it will be given to us after your brother-in-law comes to power." Of course, he also knew that this was impossible, but he still wanted to provoke the king's wife.

The wife of the king seemed not to hear anything, and kept thinking in her mind: Where did Shui Dazhou go? How did Shui Danian become the king without anyone noticing? What was going on?

After a while, she came to them again and said that her husband's whereabouts were unknown and now the head of the family had been changed, so she asked if they could let her go back.

Wu Jinhua immediately shook her head and refused. She had known that the King's wife might make this request and she would never agree to it.

"You're still asking why we're holding you back? Anyway, we will never let you go, so just stay here. Besides, whether or not to let you go back is up to Zhang Beixing."

The King's wife had no choice but to return to the temporary room temporarily.

Zhang Beixing came to a large conference room, where, in addition to reporters, there were also some members of the Lin Kingdom, elders, etc. He was the only outsider, but he did not feel lonely, but very confident.

Shui Da Nian said that there might be a war between the two countries, but he has always disliked this kind of thing, so he rejected all the plans in the army.

"Therefore, Mr. Fang does not have to worry, our two countries will always maintain friendship." This sentence also implies that his brother did very poorly before and was far inferior to him.

Zhang Beixing felt that Shui Danian was a smiling but treacherous guy. Soon, the etiquette lady brought fruits and snacks, but Zhang Beixing knew that he should not be fooled by these superficial efforts and should never give in on matters of principle.

So he acted calm and waited for Shui Danian to finish speaking. Then he said with a smile that it was rare for Shui Danian to work for the well-being of both countries. Although this was polite, Shui Danian knew it was not a sincere compliment.

Zhang Beixing suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Lord Shui, I have a question for you. Can you represent the entire Lin Kingdom?"

Shui Danian was a little surprised, but still smiled and asked Zhang Beixing why he asked that. Zhang Beixing said that it was a sensitive period for the two countries to change their leaders. When he said that, the atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down.

No one expected Zhang Beixing to ask such a question. Was he innocent or did he do it on purpose? The reporters looked unhappy.

Shui Danian smiled and said that his elder brother had passed the position to him, so he could make the decision. Moreover, his elder brother had already made this plan, so even if he came back in the future, he would not be able to manage state affairs anymore, so Zhang Beixing could rest assured.

Zhang Beixing said: "Okay, in that case, I feel relieved. Let's start the formal negotiations now." He felt that he had just said some nonsense, as if Shui Da Nian was trying to intimidate him.

During the formal negotiations, Zhang Beixing refused to give in on the principle. Shui Danian said, "Mr. Fang, we can't talk if you keep doing this. Sometimes you have to make concessions." Zhang Beixing sneered, "No way. If you want to make concessions, you have to make them. My Jiuzhou Empire will never make concessions."

The reporters looked at him with hatred, but Shui Danian said, "Mr. Fang, don't worry. Let's see if this works. The sovereignty of this island belongs to you. I acknowledge it, and I represent the Lin Kingdom."

Zhang Beixing thought, is he so easy to talk to? But there must be other plans behind this.

Sure enough, Shui Da Nian went on to say: "But we should develop this island together." Then he put forward some conditions.

Zhang Beixing sneered: "It's ridiculous. The sovereignty belongs to us, but we are not allowed to exercise it. It's really laughable."

The negotiations reached a deadlock, but Shui Danian was not impatient. He told Zhang Beixing to stay first and talk about it when the negotiations were successful. If one day doesn't work, two days, or one year, or two years, success will eventually come.

He also cited many examples of international issues, saying that some negotiations took a long time. However, Zhang Beixing said that he could only be given five days at most, as he could not spend all his energy on this.

If the negotiations still fail after five days, we will talk about it then. We may take necessary measures at the critical moment.

Shui Danian said: "Mr. Fang, I have said that we do not want war. War will only hurt the people."

Zhang Beixing felt disgusted by his high-sounding words: "You also know this, then who is going to provoke a war? We are just defending ourselves."

Shui Danian wanted to say something, but Zhang Beixing waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going to go back and rest." After that, he left without giving Shui Danian any face.

Shui Danian was very unhappy and felt that Zhang Beixing was too tactless.

Back in the bedroom, Shui Qingli asked Zhang Beixing how the negotiations went, and Zhang Beixing told him the situation.

Shui Qingli snorted and said, "He is just playing word games with you. Don't be angry. Think about it and come with me to meet Chen Xuan this afternoon."

Zhang Beixing nodded, and the three of them went to see Chen Xuan together in the afternoon. When they reached the door, the security guard told Shui Qingli that the king had specifically instructed that she could be provided with a car whenever she traveled, and she just needed to give the order.

Shui Qingli said: "Forget it, no need, it's more convenient for me to take a taxi."

The security guard said, "But the princess' taxi doesn't match your identity."

Shui Qingli said: "What's wrong with that? This proves that I am close to the people and go deep into the grassroots. Isn't this a good thing?"

The security guard was speechless. After they left, he reported the matter to Shui Da Nian through his staff.

Shui Danian said: "This little girl has grown too powerful. Let her go."

Chen Xuan lived in an independent villa. He specially arranged security personnel and said that Princess Shui would come today and must let her in. He also told Shui Qingli a secret code.

Shui Qingli didn't expect him to be so cautious, but it was fine this way. After all, this was an extraordinary period and her identity was very sensitive.

The security guard quickly called Chen Xuan, who told them to just go into the living room.

Chen Xuan was an old man dressed in ancient robes, which surprised the three people.

Shui Qingli asked tentatively: "Are you Mr. Chen Xuan?" She felt somewhat certain when she saw that the other party had an extraordinary temperament and that Chen Xuan had stood up from the main seat.

Chen Xuan smiled and explained: "Do you think Zhou Yizhi's junior brother should be a young man? In fact, I am older than him, because the one who enters first is the most senior."

Shui Qingli suddenly realized.

"Princess, please take a seat." Chen Xuan invited politely.

After the three of them sat down one by one, Chen Xuan ordered the servants to serve tea quickly.

Shui Qingli seemed a little anxious: "I wonder what important matter Mr. Chen asked me to discuss?"

Chen Xuan's expression froze, and he said, "Princess, I have something to tell you. I have brought my brother here, and he is now recuperating in the backyard."

He went on to say that Zhou Yizhi had been in the hospital since he was injured, but he found that someone had poisoned the hospital, causing his brother's condition to not improve. So he secretly took his brother out at night.

"So, my brother's arrival is still a secret. But I will find a way to get him well so that I can help the princess."

Shui Qingli was overjoyed after hearing this and was very grateful to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "Princess, you don't have to be polite. You are the legitimate one, and Shui Da Nian is just a usurper." He stated that he would stand on the princess' side no matter what.

"May I ask Princess, have you already known the news about the king (referring to Shui Dazhou)?" Chen Xuan asked.

Shui Qingli glanced at Zhang Beixing, hesitating whether to speak.

Chen Xuan also glanced at Zhang Beixing and snorted coldly. He had obviously guessed Zhang Beixing's identity, and his senior brother's injury was also related to Zhang Beixing, so he had never had a good impression of Zhang Beixing.

But Zhang Beixing had just observed Chen Xuan carefully and felt that he should be a trustworthy person.

"It's okay, Princess, just tell him the truth." Zhang Beixing said.

Shui Qingli then told Chen Xuan everything about the situation.

Chen Xuan frowned after hearing this, not only because of the news from the king, but also because of Shui Qingli's trust in Zhang Beixing.

"Mr. Chen, since you are willing to help me, how can you help me with this matter of my father?" Shui Qingli asked.

Chen Xuan shook his head, indicating that it was not clear yet, but he would do his best.

This answer made Shui Qingli a little disappointed.

At this time, Chen Xuan stood up and said, "By the way, come with me to see my senior brother."

He led the three to the backyard, which was heavily guarded. Soon, Chen Xuan took them to a room.

Zhou Yizhi was lying quietly on the bed, with several doctors in white coats waiting beside him. These were senior doctors hired by Chen Xuan.

The doctors said it would take about three or four days for Zhou Yizhi to wake up.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan took them back to the living room to continue drinking tea. (End of this chapter)
