Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Pingzhou, Prince Chen's Palace.

Qu Wei looked at the chaotic scene in the palace that was once well-ordered and now in chaos, and she still felt as if she was in another world.

No matter whether they were the masters of each courtyard or the servants and guards, everyone had an expression of fear and tension on their faces, and everyone was in a panic.

"Take more and pack up all the property that the prince has rewarded to me! You slut, be quick with your hands and feet. If you break anything, I will kill you!" I don't know which concubine was screaming.

"Hurry up, are the horses ready? I have to go with my father!" I don't know which young master was shouting.

"What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting to die? If you don't want to die, run away quickly! If you don't run away now, you will have no chance!" These are the maids and servants calling to each other.

Walking all the way from Weixiang Garden to the meeting hall of Prince Chen's Mansion, Qu Wei's heart sank little by little.

Scolding and shouting filled my eardrums, and the whole place was in chaos.

Guizhi's face turned pale. "Miss, is the situation really that bad? The mansion is in such a mess, why doesn't the prince do anything about it?"

Qu Wei secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

I’m afraid it’s not that they don’t want to care, but that they don’t have the time to care.

Sure enough, when we walked into the meeting hall, the atmosphere inside became even more tense.

In order to show his respect and love for his adopted daughter, King Chen would usually just give her a message and she would go in and discuss matters with him.

I saw that the people who were discussing matters in the meeting hall were clearly divided into two groups, one group was mainly composed of military generals, and the other group was mainly composed of staff, and the two groups were arguing with each other fiercely.

When Qu Wei walked in, neither side noticed her. Only King Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, saw her coming, looked at her, but did not greet her.

The word "terrible" was not enough to describe King Chen's mood at this moment.

The development of the situation was far beyond his expectations. He thought that after raising the army, it was a sure thing to march all the way to the capital, but he did not expect that the generals who belonged to his camp would defect one after another. Today, it was not the soldiers of this camp who defected, and tomorrow, it was the whole regiment who defected. He was overwhelmed every day dealing with these incidents. More than a month had passed, and he could not even leave his fiefdom.

He had 500,000 soldiers under his command, but the number he could actually command and control was less than 200,000 at most.

When Prince Chen thought of this, he bit his gums with such hatred that they bled.

Now, those defected troops were approaching him step by step, surrounding him in Pingzhou, preparing to capture him in one fell swoop.

"Hateful!" He punched the armrest of the mahogany chair under him.

The gorgeous mahogany chair armrest shattered immediately.

"What a Ye Feng! Over the years, I have really underestimated him!"

Who could have thought that a child of ten years old would have such a mind and strategy many years ago, quietly placing his own people in his fiefdom, blending into his army, and nibbling away at it bit by bit. He had an army of 200,000 in public and nearly 500,000 in secret, and in the past few years, most of them were actually controlled by Ye Feng.

What does it mean to make wedding clothes for others?

Look at him, Ye Wenyan, he is such a fool.

Why didn't he notice any clues in these years?

No, it’s not that there have been no unusual situations.

He thought back carefully, and there were several times when his confidants or staff came to him to report that someone or something was strange, but he never took it to heart at the time. Because in his subconscious, his fiefdom was already his private property, like a solid iron plate, and no one could drill a hole in it.

He is so conceited!

He dominated his fiefdom like a real emperor. No one dared to oppose him to his face. Almost everyone around him had to please him and flatter him. He enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being in control of everything and being superior to others so much that he no longer liked to hear opposing opinions and was unwilling to listen to different voices.

Thus, Ye Feng had an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Your Highness, this is not the time to worry about this. The military situation is urgent now. Duan Tianhao has led 250,000 troops to surround us. If we don't break out, it will be difficult for us to escape." An aide advised anxiously, "Your Highness, please order a retreat as soon as possible!"

Duan Tianhao was once the most valiant general under King Chen, but he unexpectedly sided with Ye Feng. Because of this, Ye Wenyan was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.

Another general's eyes widened, and he said in a very aggressive tone: "Scholars are really useless. Your Majesty, the enemy claims to have an army of 250,000, but in fact, they are just a mob organized temporarily. And Your Majesty, you still have 200,000 elite troops. If we fight, we may not lose! But once we abandon the city and retreat, our morale will be greatly hit. Your Majesty, think twice!"

The staff member said unconvincedly: "General Wang, you only see the 250,000 troops surrounding us, can't you see the troops that His Majesty may send next? More than 200 miles north of Pingzhou is our Qi State's 300,000 border guards stationed on the border with Wusha State. More than 100 miles to the south is Luzhou's 100,000 guards, not to mention the garrisons of other prefectures. These troops, as long as an order is given, a part of them can be drawn to encircle and suppress us. Even if we can fight Duan Tianhao head-on now, we will suffer heavy losses in the end. Your Majesty, there is a green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood. I think it is better to retreat and maintain strength."

General Wang was unconvinced and asked back: "According to what you said, we have no choice but to escape? But have you ever thought about it? All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. Where can we escape to?"

For a moment, everyone in the hall fell silent.

Yes. Apart from this fiefdom which is their sphere of influence, where else can they escape to?

An air of decadence emanated from most of the people.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

If this uprising succeeds, they will all be meritorious officials who have served the emperor. But if it fails, what awaits them will be the confiscation of their property and the extermination of their clan.

They have already boarded King Chen's ship. If the ship capsizes, they will die without a burial place.

"That's right." At this time, another general stood up and said, "We have no other choice. If we give it a try, there may be a glimmer of hope. If we defeat Duan Tianhao, at least we can stay in the fiefdom. If we retreat, we will even lose the fiefdom, which will be even more hopeless for us."

The aide said angrily, "The prince's fiefdom is mostly plains, with few steep mountains. From the perspective of terrain, it is not conducive to our hiding, and it is even more difficult to defend. What's the point of us guarding such a place?"

He bowed to Prince Chen and said confidently: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I say. Abandon Pingzhou. We can go south and find a mountainous area, occupy it first, and then slowly make plans. We still have 200,000 troops, so there is still hope. The Crown Prince has been weak since childhood, and it is unknown how long he can live. As long as Your Majesty can hold on until the Crown Prince dies, Your Majesty will have no other heirs except the disabled King Jing, and the throne will definitely belong to Your Majesty."

In fact, this staff member had not thought that Emperor Zheng'an would really take action against the prince. In his opinion, the prince was the most likely person to inherit the throne.

But King Chen had vaguely seen Emperor Zheng'an's plan many years ago.

If Ye Feng died, the throne would not fall on his head. After all, Emperor Zheng'an was extremely dissatisfied with him. Emperor Zheng'an would rather choose a nephew from the descendants of his brothers who died early on the road to the throne and adopt him as his own, rather than leave the throne to him.

Moreover, according to the news he had recently received, Ye Feng seemed to have found a way to detoxify. This forced him to take a desperate risk.
