Chapter 1810: Let Me Bow

r and Ning'er jumped in fright, fearing he would be as terrifying as he was that day.Thankfully, Feng Ming walked straight to the bed, and there was no bloodthirsty malice in her eyes like during the...The moment the sword landed on the ground, the kneeling subjects finally let out a sigh of relief.

He bet right!

And the other officials in the main hall also heard the empress's sword throw, and their hearts tightened instantly. They looked at each other with complex emotions.

The Queen threw her sword... The Queen actually threw her sword at this moment

That means the queen is not prepared to execute this treasonous subject outright.

The queen's meaning was clear.

The Empress...is going to sacrifice Princess P'an'er!

At this point, the other officials in the hall all changed color. Their minds raced, flitting through countless thoughts.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, they both knelt down almost simultaneously.

You see, most of these officials are from Xizi P'an'er's faction.

If the Empress were to truly listen to that minister's words and prepare to sacrifice Xi Zi Panger, then the only one who could inherit the throne would be Princess Xi Zi Ke'er.

If Princess Xizi were to ascend the throne, these people wouldn't have a good life afterwards.

Let alone good days, once Princess Ka'er truly became the crown prince, she would probably be the first to target people like them.

After all, these princesses have been vying for power for years. Their subjects long ago chose sides, and it's clear who is loyal to whom.

If Princess Caier were to become the heir apparent, these officials who are already under Lady Xizhi's command would have no way out.

So, they can't just let the Empress give up Xi Zi Panger yet. It's not the final step.

And so a group of people fell to their knees, all shouting in unison, “Your Majesty, please reconsider.”

"......"

The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly. She wasn't stupid, of course, and she knew exactly what these courtiers were trying to say at this particular juncture.

But her mind was in turmoil, at this moment she merely glanced at the person kneeling on the ground without a word.

She turned and slowly returned to the dragon throne, where she sat down.

After a while, when she had calmed down her emotions, she spoke, "Apart from sacrificing my beloved daughter, what other good solutions do you have Tell me, I'll listen carefully."

This...

The empress's words once again plunged the hall into an eerie silence.

After much deliberation, they couldn't come up with any way to save Princess Pander safely and also capture or kill the Northern Border Princess.

So, for a while, no one dared to respond to the queen's words.

The Empress, of course, knew this. A sneer played on her lips, and her voice grew colder. "So, you want me to think things over Think about what"

"For many years I have reigned, do you think I wouldn't know your little schemes"

"P'er indeed is My most favored candidate for the throne, and now I have only two princesses left. Yet, Er's temperament is not yet mature, nor is her ability sufficient."

“My daughter, Pandar, is now mature and capable. With the assistance of numerous officials, if she ascends to the throne in the future, there will not be much change in the court.”

"But who could have predicted such a situation today She has fallen into the hands of that Northern Border Princess. Tell me, what method does Your Majesty have left to save her"

"She was foolish enough to deliver herself into the hands of the Northern Frontier Princess as a hostage. What do you think… This time, how can I possibly help her"

Or do you think I should have listened to the Northern Frontier Princess and let her take P'er and leave the borders of Xi Liang successfully

Everything the Queen said, these courtiers could not refute.

But they also know that they have been plotting against Princess Xizi for many years, helping Prince Pan'er.

If Xi Zi Ke'er really became the crown prince, and Xi Zi Ke'er ascended the throne in the future, they would definitely be exterminated to the ninth generation.

After much deliberation, one official could only grit his teeth and bow, "Your Majesty, all the other countries are focused on Tianba State. In reality, they simply don't have the energy to get involved in our Xiliang affairs."

"And, the one holding His Highness hostage is the Princess of Beijang. The King of Beijang is currently leading troops in battle. If the Princess of Beijang were to have an issue on our territory in Xiliang, I'm afraid the King of Beijang would not let it go."

"Why not... why not give King Beijang some face and safely send his Queen back to the Tianba kingdom."

As soon as the official finished speaking, another official immediately chimed in, "Indeed, Your Majesty. Being on good terms with the King of Beijang would not harm our Xiliang Kingdom at all."

"And this way, Your Highness could be successfully saved. Sire, you have nurtured Your Highness for many years and surely wouldn't want to see him fall like this. So please, sire, reconsider."

"Heh."

The Empress burst into laughter, her hands clenched into fists. "Your Majesty's words...are you trying to make me bow down, to make me compromise You don't want to harm the Princess of Beijiang at all, and instead, you want to send people to escort her safely back to Tianba Kingdom Is that what you mean"

Hearing the killing intent in the Empress's voice, the courtiers trembled, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

After finishing his speech, the official once again stiffened his hair and said, "Your Majesty, I recall that King of the Northern Border is still leading troops in battle. And Your Majesty has also heard of his achievements, almost every battle he fights ends in victory."

"Now, we have even captured a city in the land of Chi. We are already bordering them to the south. If the Princess of Beijang truly were to have an issue within our borders, wouldn't your Majesty worry that the King of Beijang would be enraged and retaliate for his beloved"

"What if King Beijiang really comes in person to avenge his queen then Your Majesty, do you really think our forces could withstand him"

He's not trying to diminish his own prestige by elevating someone else's, but rather the power of the Northern Border King is undeniable.

The achievements of King Beijiang cannot be denied.

How could the Queen possibly not be worried about this

But before sending troops to search for the Princess of Beijang, she had already received accurate information that the King of Beijang now held little power.

The hundreds of thousands of Northern Border troops he had cultivated were now also in Mo Yunchen's hands.

In the war against Chi, Tianba suffered heavy losses. Mo Yunjing didn't dare to initiate a war again in the short term.

After all, not only the Chi Nation, Xuan Nation, Lan Nation, and Bei Jiang City ruled by Mo Yunchen were watching him covetously.

These countries could launch an attack at any time.

In this situation, she couldn't believe that Mo Yunjing would lead his troops to attack their Xiliang country for just a mere princess.

Because she was certain of this, she dared to send troops openly to look for the Princess of Beijang.

Because she knows that the King of Beijiang can no longer make any waves, she dares to deal with the Princess Consort of Beijiang so recklessly.

Before the official could finish his words, the minister who had earlier said he would give up Xi Zi and Pan'er couldn't help but retort.

"Sir Chen, I beg to differ. Now that the King of Beijang has no troops left, what good is it to sell him out"

On the contrary, if we were to do the Northern Border King a favor at this time, it would be equivalent to making enemies of Mo Yunchen, Lan Guo, Xuan Guo, and even Chi Guo.arquis of Anle proposed that the county princess, who would be his future wife, go to the Ye Mansion to look after him.“But the fact that the County Princess and Lord Ye were not yet married.
