When Shangguan Ling came to Xiling to get married, he thought that his sacrifice could bring respite and peace to the country.

She thought that maybe there would be nothing wrong with marrying a happy man and being happy with everything.

But she probably never thought until her death that the man she had chosen among thousands of people would see her and the child in her belly killed, and there was no trace of sadness in her heart.

And her imperial brother was ready to abandon her from the beginning. Zhaolie's ambition to expand had never been reduced. It was only after his defeat that he had to sign a contract to recuperate.

Those in power will always find a suitable excuse for their ambitions, whether it is to boost military morale or to win over people's hearts.

The so-called division has a reputation. If Zhao Lie unilaterally tears up the contract and raises troops to invade, he will definitely need a reason that can be said to be past and even resonate.

Zhaolie had been waiting for an opportunity to send troops. Wen Cang's civil strife was the opportunity, and Shangguan Ling's death was the reason for sending troops.

There is also Yan Ge, who once expressed his affection for Shangguan Ling but was rejected. Over the years, whether in Zhaolie or coming to Xiling to get married, he stood behind her and protected her silently.

Shangguan Ling always thought that Yan Ge was her loyal admirer, but she didn't know that in his eyes, there was only power and no love.

As a counselor, Emperor Zhaolie couldn't do this without Yan Ge's reminder. The reason why he traveled across mountains and rivers to accompany her was because

Firstly, it was to do Tui Shui Ying Waihe, and secondly, he could only get what he wanted by returning to Xiling.

The death of her and the child in her belly was never an accident, but inevitable.

It is her husband, her admirer, and her royal brother, all of whom are the most critical link in their plans.

In fact, she would accidentally fall, and Zi Luo took advantage of her and tripped her.

While Shangguan Ling was retreating, Zi Luo pretended to step forward to help her but failed to do so, and quietly shot an iron nail into the back of her head.

Knocking on the stone is just a cover, the iron nail is the key to fatal bleeding.

Naturally, after the news of Shangguan Ling's death reached Zhaolie, Emperor Zhaolie was deeply saddened by the loss of his sister.

He didn't believe that his sister died accidentally, and vowed to pay Xiling's blood debt with blood.

Emperor Zhaolie personally led his troops to the south and launched an attack on Xiling.

Zhaolie came so fiercely that the border guard could not resist and sent a rescue signal to the court.

Xie Nantian and Xie Chiyan were once again ordered to face danger and set off to the front line to defend against the enemy.

Xuan Yue took advantage of the situation to rob and harass the people on the border, and the situation in the world suddenly became chaotic.

"What do you think about the Xuanyue Kingdom?" Qi Chen looked at the ministers in the court and asked.

"Although Xuan Yue is small, she is good at using poison and is not easy to deal with. At present, the main forces of Xiling are concentrated on fighting Zhaolie.

On Xuan Yue's side, it is not appropriate to engage in a major war. According to my opinion, it is better to turn the war into friendship for the time being. "

This proposal is obviously to use more materials as talking points in exchange for peace.

Some people agree, but others are against it.

"Xuan Yue's proposal to increase the bargaining chip was rejected. If this is a peace negotiation, I'm afraid the other party will be more aggressive."

Someone stood up and responded, "Xuan Yue has been active in border affairs for several years. Whenever there is any disturbance, he will take advantage of it and indulge in it, which will only infinitely encourage their greed."

"Since Xinglin Academy has selected capable men with lofty ideals, it is better to choose a general and bring the Xinglin Academy doctors with him to suppress the Xuan Yue disaster."

"What the beloved ministers said is true, but who do you think is suitable to lead the troops?"

"This……"

Looking at "Qi Yan" who was sitting aside and rarely spoke in recent days, the ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to give advice.

The two generals of the Xie family have already left the capital. With the current situation in the court, it is really not suitable for the young emperor to go on a personal expedition.

Now His Majesty can basically act alone. A small country like Xuan Yue does not need to attack with great fanfare. The Regent is highly skilled in martial arts, so it is perfect for him to lead a surprise attack with elite troops.

The ministers thought so, and so did Qi Chen, but Uncle Nine Emperors was not in the imperial city at all now.

If Uncle Nine Emperors were here, he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.

Fortunately, Uncle Nine Emperors is used to being dignified. Recently, Aunt Nine Emperors has become pregnant, and the ministers in the court are all aware of it.

In order to take care of the Princess Regent, the Prince Regent did not even care about the affairs of the court.

"Qi Yan" himself didn't say anything. Everyone just thought that he wanted to stay and take care of the regent princess. No one dared to push this hard job onto him.

When the ministers were in trouble, Qi Ye took the initiative to stand out from the crowd.
