Chapter 1887: Execute Immediately
It is known to all that the hundreds of thousands of Northern Frontier troops, once commanded by King Beijang, are now under the control of his elder brother, Emperor Moyunchen.
Even though the Bei Jiang Wangfu's influence has waned, people still fear it. Why is that
After all, it's not just that the world knows. The King and Queen of Beijang possess a secret weapon of immense power.
And the princess of Bei Jiang even used such a secret weapon to cause the Great Yue Kingdom to be destroyed overnight.
Therefore, until it is clear what kind of weapons the people in Beijiang Palace possess and how many such terrifying weapons they have, no one dares to provoke them lightly.
Now, for His Majesty to target the Princess of Beijang is truly a reckless move.
He could understand His Majesty's desire to have Princess Xizi killed.
But now the Northern Border Princess has teamed up with the West Daughter Princess, and no one knows how many people the current Northern Border Princess has by her side.
And how many of those under Xún Tánggǔ's command actually managed to infiltrate our Xi Liang nation Most importantly, did they bring those secret weapons with them
Acting hastily without fully understanding the situation carries a high level of risk.
And the Empress, upon hearing General Li's words, her expression instantly shifted. There was a flicker of something akin to cracking, yet also a hint of sudden understanding.
At this moment, one could feel the icy aura emanating from the Empress. Whether it was General Li kneeling on the ground or the imperial physicians, maidservants, and eunuchs standing by, no one dared to utter a word, not even a breath.
After an unknown amount of time, the Queen suddenly screamed "ah!" on the spot, appearing extremely distressed.
Then, as if she had forgotten all about her pregnancy, she turned and picked up something from the bed, hurling it with all her might at General Li who was kneeling on the ground.
He smashed things and roared, "Trash! A bunch of trash! I've raised you for so many years, what can you even do"
"Have you only been eating, drinking, and playing all these years So when danger arises, you can't even stand up to it"
"Just a mere princess from the Northern Border, and you're all so afraid You're all trash!"
The Empress's outburst sent a chill through the palace. Everyone in the sleeping chamber immediately knelt down, crying out in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm yourself."
"Calm yourselves, calm yourselves! How can I possibly calm down"
"To think I was so close to having that rebellious Xi Zi Ke'er eliminated, and now she throws this at me"
"Well then, tell me, how am I to calm my anger Speak! How can you possibly appease me"
The Queen was practically beside herself, pointing at the people present and roaring with fury.
Before General Li arrived, the Empress of Xiliang was very confident.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that the arrangements this time were solid.
Xizi Ke'er only had over ninety thousand soldiers in her hands. Facing these soldiers, it was simply like hitting a rock with an egg, utterly insignificant.
How long has it been
She had tens of thousands of soldiers who hadn't even caught up yet, and now she was being told that this campaign was very likely a lost cause How could she accept that
Seeing the Empress's anger growing, the imperial physicians looked at each other in dismay.
"In the end, I still had to risk my life to remind him, 'Your Majesty, please calm down. Your dragon body is important now, and you are carrying the little prince in your belly.'"
"!"
As soon as the imperial physician spoke, the empress also realized this.
But her heart remained restless.
Now she had stopped the thrashing and smashing, but her face was still fierce and menacing. The anger and killing intent in her eyes were inescapable.
She now fixed her gaze on General Li, who was kneeling before her. "Well then," she asked, "what do you say How should we proceed I have already issued my imperial decree. Should I have to issue another ordering the hundred thousand troops to return"
"Do you want to have me, the Emperor, humiliated by that rebellious Xi Zi Ke'er Do you want the entire populace of Xiliang to see me as a laughingstock"
Once she orders a retreat now, she'll truly be the laughingstock.
You must know, she has issued an order for all soldiers to depart and treats Xizi Ke'er as a rebellious traitor.
Now all the people of Xiliang know that Xizi Ke'er is going to rebel, wanting to assassinate the king and take the throne of Xiliang.
If she were to order a withdrawal of troops now, what grounds would she have How could she explain this
Therefore, withdrawing troops is absolutely impossible!
Xizi Ke'er this time must pay the price.
Her eyes could no longer hold Xi Zi Ke'er as her daughter. Xiliang Nation didn't need a princess who threatened the emperor's position.
After the Queen's question, General Li knelt there, speechless.
Indeed, if we were to withdraw our troops now, it would undoubtedly cause the people of Xiliang and everyone else in the world to laugh at His Majesty.
This time's incident was a huge stir, known to everyone under heaven.
Now the entire populace of Xiliang is anxiously awaiting the outcome.
Once Your Majesty issues the order to retreat, it means she has conceded defeat to His Highness Ke'er first.
He also knew that, given their Majesty's disposition, they would never agree to such an outcome.
After much deliberation, he finally voiced his suggestion, "Your Majesty, perhaps... we could join forces with the Princess of the Northern Border."
"What did you say!"
The Empress of Xiliang heard this and burst out laughing in anger.
Her incredulous gaze fell upon General Li's head, she almost doubted her own ears, "You are saying again, you just asked me to join forces with the Princess of Beijang"
The Queen was speechless, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
To know, the whole thing happened because she wanted to kill the Northern Border Princess, which is why things became so sensational and irreversible.
But now they tell her she can ally with the Princess of Beijang
Then what was the point of all that she did before
The reason why I completely fell out with Xizi Ke'er wasn't because of anything else, but because of the Princess of Beijang.
It was she who wanted to kill the Princess of Beijiang, while Xizi Ke'er insisted on going against her.
In the whole affair, she also lost a princess, Xi Zi Pan'er.
So now, the person kneeling before her was telling her that he wanted her to team up with the princess of Beijang
More than absurd!!!
It's absolutely ridiculous.
General Li, kneeling, also felt that his words were indeed absurd. But right now, besides this method, he really couldn't think of any other better way to get their Majesty to capture Princess Ke'er all at once.
"Your Majesty, Your humble servant..."
"!!" General Li's eyes widened instantly, and his whole body trembled. He hadn't expected that His Majesty wouldn't even give him a chance to explain.
At this moment, with wide eyes, he came to his senses and immediately bowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I can explain..." same thoughts as she had before.She certainly couldn't tolerate someone who constantly coveted her throne continuing to live.So, whether she truly was a traitor or not, whether she had designs on for...
