Now that things have come to this point, she has nothing left to hide. The Xinma Empire needs your help.
If saving face leads to significant losses for the Xinma Empire, then it would be a losing proposition.
Saving face is important, but the safety of the nation is the most important thing.
If the Xinma Empire were to cease to exist, then her status as a princess would also cease to exist, and she wouldn't even be qualified to stand before Lin Yi; everything would be gone.
Therefore, no matter what, I must protect the Xinma Empire, even if it's just for the man in front of me, I must protect this country.
Lin Yi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What Moses Empire? How dare they launch an attack on your Xinma Empire? How many people did they send?"
"At least two million," Princess Dada said with a solemn expression.
"More than two million!"
Lin Yi had no objection to this. In fact, he knew more about the other party's situation Princess Dada, since his men were keeping a close eye on them.
Faced with Princess Dada's plea, Lin Yi fell silent.
After a long silence, he said in a deep voice, " Dada, you should know in your heart that this is not in the interest of our Great Liang Empire."
He knew Princess Dada was a smart woman, so he didn't want to deceive her.
When it comes to relations between nations, talk of alliances is rather weak and ineffective; ultimately, it comes down to interests. Without sufficient mutual benefits, even allies are unlikely to offer assistance.
This is a very realistic matter. Even if he has some feelings for Princess Dada, it's unrealistic for him to help the Xinma Empire for the sake of a woman.
Princess Dada's face stiffened. Although she was prepared, she was still a little saddened by those words.
However, she quickly recovered because she was already prepared, since nations cannot compromise their principles for the sake of a romantic relationship.
Furthermore, without sufficient benefits, Lin Yi would be unable to explain himself to his people.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I understand, Your Majesty, but rest assured, I will not let the Great Liang Empire act for nothing."
"If Great Liang is willing to lend a hand, I can offer the Xinma Empire to Your Majesty!"
That's right, giving up the entire country is a huge price to pay. This was the result of her careful consideration. The Great Liang Empire was too powerful. Rather than turning against each other in the end, it was better to grant their wish directly.
In this way, the Great Liang Empire would not treat the Xinma Empire's royal family unfairly, and he himself could also find a perfect home.
For a woman to support a country, she actually has to pay a huge price. Although her mother was the Queen of Xinma, she was not happy and was even somewhat lonely.
Now that the Moses Empire has its sights set on the Xinma Empire, it means that it can no longer control the country by relying on its own local forces as before, and it needs to introduce another force.
This is an inevitable trend; if I insist on preserving the country, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Moses Empire can set its sights on the Xinma Empire, and so can the Great Liang Empire. To avoid future embarrassment, it's better to be realistic.
"To offer up a nation."
Lin Yi's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected this woman to be so decisive; she was essentially giving up on the Xinma Empire.
But upon closer reflection, it does make sense.
The empire of Xinma may be quite powerful, but it is still far inferior to the Great Liang Empire.
The Moses Empire is currently stirring things up, and if the Xinma Empire makes the wrong choice, it could very well become a victim.
Therefore, they naturally need to make a choice, and this is the best choice.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, " Dada, this matter is of utmost importance. Although I am the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, I also need to be responsible for my people."
If the Xinma Empire cannot provide sufficient guarantees, I cannot offer you any promises!
Although I can make the decision on this matter myself, a verbal promise from the other party is not enough; concrete actions are needed.
Otherwise, if he defeats the Moses Empire but the Xinma Empire regrets it, he will waste his time, which would be a waste of time.
Princess Dada took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I understand this matter. I will persuade my mother to give Great Liang a perfect explanation!"
Such a major matter cannot be resolved with just a few words; certain guarantees are necessary. Otherwise, the Great Liang would not have been able to act in unison.
Lin Yi nodded and sighed, "Now that we've met again, let's not dwell on these unhappy things. Let me take you on a nice trip!"
It's still early, so I might as well play outside for a while; it's a sort of incognito visit.
"Alright, I'll take this opportunity to try some of the delicacies from Great Liang."
Princess Dada hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed. There was no use in being anxious now; her entire attitude was in the hands of the man in front of her, so it was better to try and please him.
After walking for a while, the two entered A Restaurant.
As soon as I entered, I felt the lively atmosphere inside, clearly indicating that there were many guests drinking and enjoying themselves.
Lin Yi and Dada's arrival brought a moment of silence to the first floor, as it was the first time they had ever seen such an exquisite woman, especially one from a different ethnic group.
As for Lin Yi and Dun Ruo, they were both disguised and didn't recognize them, so their eyes were fixed on Princess Dada.
"Wow, who is this woman? She's so beautiful, and she has such a noble air about her!" A young man exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining.
His charm was irresistible; if it weren't for Lin Yi and Dun Ruo, he would have gone up and struck up a conversation with them.
At this moment, the person next to him kicked him and said in a deep voice, "Are you crazy? This is a distinguished guest of the imperial court, the Princess Dada of the Xinma Empire. She is not someone you can covet."
Although Princess Dada hadn't been to Great Liang for long, her unique appearance still made a strong impression on them, which is why they noticed her immediately.
This woman is not someone an ordinary person should touch; doing so could lead to serious trouble.
The young man's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he exclaimed excitedly, "She's actually a princess! If I could get my hands on her, wouldn't I be instantly elevated to the top and become the prince consort of the Xinma Empire?"
This is a great opportunity!
Those around him were speechless, staring at him as if he were an idiot. "Are you stupid? Do you think this is so easy?"
Lin Yi naturally heard this as well. With his enhanced five senses, almost no one could escape his ears if they were willing to listen.
However, he had no objection to this. After all, everyone likes beautiful women; it's a universal human desire to appreciate beauty, and he wasn't that petty.
