Five Treasures for One Birth: The President's Wife is the Group's Favorite

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with panic.

"The border has fallen, and country L has invaded our territory. I'm afraid that within two days, the army of country L will come to the palace!"

"Before and after, our country has sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers. Now, the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places on the border have fallen. If we send people to fight against the L country's army, it will be a real act of sending sheep to the tiger's mouth. Already!"

"That being said, we can't just sit and watch country L attack the palace. Ministers, let's think of a way!"

The queen stood directly in front of her, listening to the sighs of all the ministers, her eyes remained unchanged.

When the ministers were almost done discussing, she pretended to be helpless and opened her mouth.

"Ministers are right. In the current situation, if we send troops to fight against country L, we will undoubtedly ruin the lives of our soldiers in vain."

The queen sighed and suggested: "Ministers, in this situation, I don't want to let the soldiers die in vain.

How about I ask Richard to try to contact the King of Country L to see if he agrees to withdraw his troops so that the two countries can live in peace. "

The queen's words made the whole hall quiet.

The army of country L has invaded the country, and it is only a matter of time before country Y is captured. How could the king of country L agree to withdraw his troops at this time?

The queen naturally understands these reasons, so what she meant by her words was not that she wanted to contact the king of country L to ask him to withdraw his troops.

Instead, he wants to show his friendship with country L and ask the king of country L for peace.

Her proposal was immediately rejected by a minister.

"Queen, the former king of country L signed a contract with the former king of our country to live in harmony between the two countries many years ago.

But now, the king of Country L didn't abide by the agreement and sent troops to sneak attack on our country's border, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people on the border.

This in itself means that country L violated the agreement first, and now our country bows to them. Isn't this putting our royal family's face on the ground and trampling on it! "

The minister's words made the other ministers nod their heads.

Although they want to survive and quell the war, they must not abandon their last dignity and compromise with the shameless country L!

The queen looked at the minister who said this just now, her eyes were a little gloomy.

Her gaze immediately fell on Marquis Ed, one of the ministers.

Marquis Ed immediately understood her meaning and walked out from the crowd.

"Ministers, I quite agree with the queen's proposal, although seeking peace from country L will greatly damage our country's face.

But now, it is no longer the time to take care of face. We can not think about ourselves, but we must not think about the people.

Don't you want to watch the army of country L attack all the way to the palace, and the corpses of the people are strewn all over the field? "

His words silenced the ministers.

However, some ministers still insisted: "Even if it is death, people in my country Y must die with dignity, and we cannot compromise with a country that has no promises!"

Marquis Ed immediately reprimanded: "Your thinking is really too selfish. For the sake of this intangible face, are you disregarding the people of country Y?"

He moved the people out and immediately blocked the minister's mouth.

Seeing that there was no one to refute, the queen said: "Now that His Majesty is not here, I, a woman, cannot make decisions about matters in the palace, so I can only follow the opinions of the ministers.

Now, the solution I can think of is to seek peace from country L, so as to save lives and people from suffering. Ministers who agree with my proposal, please stand up. "

As soon as she said that, Marquis Ed immediately set an example and was the first to stand out.

The other ministers in the palace, you look at me, I look at you, hesitating.

Among them, besides Marquis Ed, the two ministers who had already been bribed by the queen also stood over one after another.

The rest of the ministers, although hesitant, stood still.

Many of these ministers are old ministers who followed the previous king.

The four words of loyalty to the country have long been deeply ingrained in their hearts.

They are unwilling to bow their heads to Country L, even if their heads fall to the ground.

Seeing this, the Queen's eyes showed displeasure.

"It seems that some ministers don't agree with my proposal, so, do you want to watch the people suffer and thousands of soldiers die on the battlefield?"

These veterans showed embarrassment and helplessness on their faces.

If they were 20 years younger, they would definitely propose to lead the army to fight country L to the death.

But time is not forgiving, they have long since lost their energy and physical strength.

Under the queen's urging, they could only stand helplessly.

The queen stood at the forefront, watching the ministers stand up one by one, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Okay, since all the ministers agreed with my idea, I will immediately ask Richard to contact the king of country L!"

...

Chang'an Hall.

When Huangfu Liyue came down from upstairs, she heard the maids in the hall gathered anxiously.

"Have you heard that the Duke of Devin has been defeated, and country L has invaded our territory!"

"What should we do? Will they attack the palace in the next few days? Will we all die by then?"

"I still have elderly parents to take care of, I can't die! Otherwise, let's beg the princess to let her let us out of the palace first!"

Several people were discussing, when they saw Huangfu Liyue walking down the stairs, they immediately stopped this topic.

Huangfu Liyue naturally heard what they said just now.

"Nation L hasn't attacked here yet, so you don't need to run for your life in such a hurry."

Her words did not dispel the anxiety of the maids.

"But princess, the border has fallen, and it will be a matter of time before country L invades the palace. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave when they capture it!"

The speaking maid looked terrified, as if the enemy had reached the door.

Huangfu Liyue looked at the speaking maid.

She was the one who suggested to the other maids to let her out of the palace just now.

"You want to leave the palace?"

The maid's eyes flickered, and she quickly found an excuse to explain: "Princess, I don't want to be a deserter when country Y is in danger, but I have elderly parents at home, so I have no choice."

Huangfu Liyue closed her eyes.

"You ask Li Gong, I can promise you."

The maid was overjoyed when she heard that.

"Thank you princess! Thank you princess!"

Huangfu Liyue ignored her, but looked at Yi Ran who was standing at the door.

"According to the palace rules, send her out of the palace!"

After explaining, Huangfu Liyue walked straight out of Chang'an Hall.

As for the maid just now, the joy on her face gradually disappeared, and she froze in place.

The maids who serve in the palace are all signed contracts earlier.

Maids can receive a high monthly subsidy, but they must not leave the palace before the contract expires.

Otherwise, it is a violation of the contract.

The maid who broke the contract not only had to return all the subsidies given by the palace before, but also had to pay several times the liquidated damages.
