Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

As soon as she finished speaking, the four people's eyes fell on her.

Zhongli Xiyue listened to her words and suddenly realized, yes, not everything that everyone thinks is right is right. Everyone is talking about how women should behave, but no one has asked them whether they are willing to live such a life, nor have they provided them with more choices, and even restricted the paths they can choose.

"Listening to your Majesty's words is like reading ten years of books." Zhongli Xiyue looked at her with fanatical eyes.

"That's a different opinion." Helian Fu smiled, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

A woman like this should not be exclusive to him, Xiao Jingzhan.

Zhongli Chuan and Murong Yao didn't say anything, but they looked at her with eyes that seemed to have changed.

"It's getting late, I should leave the palace. My Queen, see you later." Helian Fu stood up and bowed.

Shen Yanyan stood up and nodded, "Have a safe journey, my prince. Take care."

"We'll take our leave now. We're sorry to bother Her Majesty today." Zhong Lichuan bowed to Zhong Li Xiyue and left.

Murong Yao looked at her, curled his lips, his face became a little more sinister, and cupped his hands, "Shen Yanyan, see you again!"

Shen Yanyan looked at his departing back with a frown on her face. Although Murong Yao was such a big guy, the cold aura he exuded made people subconsciously feel uncomfortable.

What do you mean we will meet again? These two people are weird. Unless something unexpected happens, we will not meet again. The distance between countries is not just a few days, so how can we meet again?

Weird.

At night, in a small courtyard in the capital.

Gao Xiang, Murong Yao and Helian Fu sat around a table. Gao Xiang had a gloomy look on his face, and his eyes revealed a hint of cunning and conspiracy.

"Isn't the eldest prince asking for too much?" Prime Minister Gao looked at Murong Yao with a dark face. Forget about Yanzhou and Youzhou, they were originally Xiliang's territory, so it's okay to give them back to him, but the nearby Cangzhou is the gateway for Xiliang to enter Liguo. If he gives it to him, he will be threatened at any time.

"Oh, so, are you kidding me with hundreds of thousands of troops? Xiao Jingzhan is not a pushover. What if you fail and Xiao Jingzhan turns around to attack Xiliang?" Murong Yao looked at this old man. He was so greedy. He wanted him to contribute manpower but didn't want to give him too many benefits. There was no such good thing in the world. He was just dreaming.

"He won't have a chance to survive. I have done what I said. He will definitely die." He has been making arrangements for so long, and it is not in vain. He can lose, but Xiao Jingzhan must also die.

Helian Fu watched the two people arguing, a cold light flashed in his eyes. The territory of Xiliang did not border them, so he wanted to see what he could do to make them send troops.

"What are you going to give me, my Lord? Your country of Li is not adjacent to our Northern Di. I will have to bear the risk of offending the emperor of Li. If you give me an average amount, you cannot let me send troops."

Prime Minister Gao sneered, "Your Highness, you came here today, I think you have found something you wanted, otherwise the Japanese officials would not be able to invite you!" The people who were sent to contact him in the past did not even see him. Since he came today, no one knew what made him change his mind.

"There are many grievances between Beilin and Beidi, my lord. If you help me take the supreme position, I am willing to send troops to assist you and attack Beilin."

"Of course, this is a promise made after the matter is accomplished. Your Majesty, you might as well tell me your requirements, and then I will know how to do it, right?" Prime Minister Gao looked at his thoughtful expression and curled his lips.

On the surface, Bei Lin's strength is comparable to Bei Di's, but Bei Di is always slightly better. If Bei Lin loses the support of Li Guo, the balance between the two countries will be broken, and it will only be a matter of time before Bei Di takes down Bei Lin.

"Humph, as expected of a powerful official who caused unrest both at home and abroad, the Prime Minister is really calculating."

"I can send troops, but not in my name. How about sending troops in the name of the Xiliang people?"

"Besides, by then, I want one person, Shen Yanyan! I will send troops as soon as I hear the news of Xiao Jingzhan's death." Helian Fu looked at Gao Xiang with cold eyes and a mocking expression.

"I will send 60,000 troops into the border of Xiliang and send them to the vicinity of Cangzhou. As for how to get the eldest prince to agree that my cavalry can enter Xiliang, that is your business, Prime Minister." He originally didn't want to get involved in this mess, but now, he has changed his mind.

Shen Yanyan, he is very interested.

It's not wrong to get angry for a beautiful woman.

Gao Xiang was startled. Shen Yanyan? That's why he came here today.

"Okay, I agree." Prime Minister Gao thought for a moment. Xiao Jingzhan was doomed to die. Shen Yanyan was just a woman, so she would be killed. By then, Xiao Jingzhan would be dead and the Shen family would be destroyed. What mattered Shen Yanyan's martial arts skills were? Could a woman resist his thousands of troops?

Once Xiao Jingzhan dies, no one can stop him.

"If the eldest prince agrees with what the prince said, I promise to give you Cangzhou. Not only Cangzhou, but also Qingzhou behind it." Prime Minister Gao was also trying his best. He could not catch the wolf without sacrificing the child.

Murong Yao sneered, glanced at Helian Fu, and said coldly: "Deal."

"All of this is based on the premise that Xiao Jingzhan is dead. If this prince had not heard the news of Xiao Jingzhan's death, the army on the border would have withdrawn along the same route!" Xiao Jingzhan is a man of great scheming and should not be underestimated. As long as he is not dead, he will not start a war.

"Don't worry, you two. If I say he will die, he will definitely die." As long as Xiao Jingzhan is not dead, he would not dare to take action no matter how many plans he made. But if he died, the group would be leaderless. No matter how many preparations he made, it would be useless. Without a leader, they would be a pile of loose sand.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiao Jingzhan sat in the hall, his face gloomy, listening to An Anyi's report. His eyes were extremely cold, like a lake frozen three feet deep, which made people shudder. His fingers tapped the table lightly, and each tap seemed like the sound of a bell from hell.

An Yi's voice echoed in the silent hall, "I dare not approach them. The people they brought with them are quite skilled in martial arts. I only saw the three of them talking for a long time before they left."

After An Yi finished his report, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Xiao Jingzhan's instructions. Xiao Jingzhan was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up. The dark figure looked particularly cold and majestic under the candlelight.

"Once they leave the country, their lives and deaths will be unknown!" Xiao Jingzhan's voice was icy cold, "Go and make arrangements."

When An Yi heard this, he immediately understood what his master meant. He bowed and retreated.

"It's not enough to collude with Xiliang, Beidi, what's the point?" Xiao Jingzhan muttered to himself, and after a while, he sneered, Beidi, Beilin. Gao Xiang was very confident, but I don't know where his confidence came from.

Is he so sure that he will lose?
