The Yuanling Empire was worthy of being the overlord. As the imperial reinforcements arrived, the overwhelming armies of the Three Kingdoms were retreating steadily and were forced out of the territory of the Yuanling Empire bit by bit.
However, this situation did not last long, and the Yuanling Empire's army suffered a head-on attack. The Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, the Northern Desert Royal Court and the Western Tribe each sent two saints, and a total of six saints joined in, instantly turning the tide of the battle. The main force of the Spirit Empire began to lose again and again.
Information from the frontline drifted into the palace like snowflakes every day. When she learned that the Three Kingdoms had sent six saints, the queen was furious.
"Are they going to start a jihad? Once the jihad starts, it won't be so easy to stop!"
All forces in Yuanling Continent have always adhered to a tacit understanding, that is, few saints will participate in the war.
The power of the saint has achieved a qualitative sublimation. Taking the enemy general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops is like picking out an object from a bag.
Once the holy war begins, it will be an almost endless war to destroy the country. Either you die or I die.
All parties are very cautious.
Now, the Three Kingdoms actually sent six saints, and they looked like they were going to destroy the Yuanling Empire.
However, although the Queen was angry, her reason finally suppressed her impulse.
The Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, the Northern Desert Royal Court and the Western Tribes could send six saints regardless of the consequences, which showed that the alliance of the three kingdoms was stronger than ever, and she could not gamble with the fate of the Yuanling Empire.
The Queen compromised and sent an envoy to negotiate peace.
As long as the Three Kingdoms withdraw their troops, the Queen can compensate them with money.
However, the Three Kingdoms were determined to get Ye Tian's head. The Queen gave in several times and made huge sacrifices, but the other party insisted on Ye Tian.
The Queen naturally knew why the Three Kingdoms targeted Ye Tian.
Ye Tian is too great a threat to them. Once Ye Tian grows up, he may dominate the world.
They were on pins and needles now, they had to kill Ye Tian before Ye Tian became a threat.
The Queen personally issued an edict, promising not to use troops against the Three Kingdoms for five hundred years.
This is to tell the Three Kingdoms that within Ye Tian's lifetime, the Yuanling Empire will not think about unifying the world.
As a result, the Three Kingdoms were determined to kill Ye Tian.
During the negotiations between the two parties, the armies of the three countries never stopped advancing. Manzhou, Jiezhou, and Fazhou fell one after another. This was a humiliation that the Yuanling Empire had never experienced since its founding.
Turmoil began inside and outside the government.
Some people doubted the Queen's ability, and some attacked the Queen for disregarding the life and death of the entire country for Ye Tian.
A large number of ministers have even begun to jointly submit a letter to force the Queen to abdicate and return the imperial power to the Supreme Emperor.
The Queen's situation suddenly fell into internal and external troubles.
"Your Majesty, the country is facing a crisis and a decision must be made!"
After the morning session, the left prime minister went alone to the Assembly Hall to pay homage to the Queen.
Today's morning meeting ended unhappy again.
Some people forced the Queen to abdicate, some people forced the Queen to hand over Ye Tian, and a very few people insisted on fighting to the death.
The whole morning was full of noise.
As the head of the hundred officials, the Prime Minister Zuo must now set an example and help the Queen make decisions.
"The Prime Minister Zuo also wants to force me to hand over Ye Tian?" The Queen was very tired, but her majesty remained the same.
The left prime minister shook his head and said: "How dare you, a minister, to offend your superiors and force your majesty to act? I would like to ask your majesty a question."
The Queen said: "You ask."
Zuo Xiang said: "In your Majesty's heart, which is more important, the country or the man?"
There was a chill in the Queen's eyes, and the Prime Minister looked at her without hesitation, waiting for the answer.
The queen said without hesitation: "Although the country is important, it is not as important as Ye Tian."
Zuo Xiang sighed and said: "Old minister, I understand. I have a way to save both Ye Tian and the Yuanling Empire."
The queen's eyes lit up and she said hurriedly: "Mr. Zuo, please tell me quickly."
The Zuo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, you can resolve this situation by abdicating your throne and leaving with Ye Tian, never to come back again."
The queen held the armrests of the dragon chair tightly with both hands, and she was not willing to give up the throne just like that. It's not that she is so greedy for imperial power, it's really too frustrating to be like this.
But as smart as she is, she naturally knows that the method Zuo Xiang said is the best method at present.
The Queen suddenly exhaled, loosened her hands, gently stroked her belly, and said, "Let me think about this first. Prime Minister Zuo, please go back."
After Zuo Xiang left, the queen came to the underground secret room.
Here the laws of the great avenue are surging, and the immeasurable heavenly books are suspended, emitting strange light.
Ye Tian has been in there for a long time and hasn't come out yet.
The queen sat here for a long time, and she didn't leave until the red kite came to report.
Qianqing Palace, front hall.
Princess Qingyuan has been waiting for a long time.
Her condition was similar to that of the Queen, both of whom were already wearing loose robes.
When the Queen came in, Ji Tianqing hesitated for a moment before standing up and bowing, saying, "See your Majesty."
The queen was a little happy, showed a rare smile, and asked Ji Tianqing to sit down.
She did not sit on the dragon chair, but sat directly opposite Ji Tianqing, looking much more approachable.
"Since I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, you have never seen me. What brought you here today?" the queen asked.
"Asking me to kneel down and salute you, I can't do that." Ji Tianqing curled her lips arrogantly, and then said: "I came today because I want to make a deal with Your Majesty."
The Queen raised her eyebrows and asked, "What deal?"
Ji Tianqing stroked her belly, full of maternal love.
"When my child is born, I hope your majesty can make her a princess." Ji Tianqing said.
"The daughter of a princess has no reason to be a princess." The queen said calmly.
"The princess has become the emperor, so what can't be done? This palace's daughter must not be overshadowed by your son in the future." After Ji Tianqing finished speaking, he felt a little offended, so he said nothing more angrily.
The Queen was not angry, she chuckled and said, "Let's see what you can do to impress me."
Ji Tianqing said: "I have sent people to the Dan League to ask my master to come out. Within ten days, my master should be able to arrive at Yuancheng. By then, can you persuade the entire Dan League to work for you? It depends on your ability.”
"Does this condition impress you?"
The queen smiled and said: "Okay, if I am still the emperor then, I will make my niece a princess with a lot of gold, and she will be above all other princesses."
Ji Tianqing frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you will also be forced to abdicate?"
Although Ji Tianqing has been marginalized by the court, he is still aware of the current turmoil in the court.
The Queen said: "It's not interesting. You should go back first. Hongyuan, when sending the eldest princess back to her mansion, she must send it to Ye Mansion."
Ji Tianqing wanted to ask more questions, but the Queen did not give her a chance to ask. She left in a flash and appeared in the Council Hall the next moment.
"Pass it to the Prime Minister!"
The Queen made her decision.
