The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

"Could it be that some unlucky person has died for the cover again?"

"This disguise looks very real. I wonder how much money it cost?"

……

The people were talking about it. They didn't believe Qi Yanzhen's words at all. They just thought that everything was just a show! He did it on purpose for them to see!

The officers and soldiers explained for a long time, but the people believed it on the surface, but in their hearts they rolled their eyes: Do I look like a fool? So easy to be fooled?

Having been fooled once, they will never trust Qi Yanzhen again!

At this moment, inside the palace, the imperial physician brought medicine to Qi Yanzhen. When he was about to sit up and drink the medicine, he heard the eunuch come to report that there was an urgent delivery of eight hundred miles away.

Qi Yanzhen immediately called someone in.

After reading the letter, Qi Yanzhen spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted completely.

When Qi Yanzhen woke up again, an hour had passed.

There were a lot of people surrounding his bed, including the empress dowager, concubines...they were all there.

Especially the concubines were crying, which made Qi Yanzhen upset.

He shouted at the concubines:

"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?

Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?

Get out of here!"

The concubines were frightened and immediately got up and left.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she guessed that something big must have happened!

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!

The Queen Mother did not ask any more questions. She gave a few instructions and left.

Suddenly, Qi Yanzhen was the only one left in the room!

He calmed down and thought about a solution...

After thinking for a long time, Qi Yanzhen couldn't think of any good countermeasures...

At the morning court the next day, Qi Yanzhen informed all civil and military officials that two more cities had been lost at the border, and asked the ministers what countermeasures they had.

No civil or military official dared to speak.

Everyone knows what Qi Yanzhen has done recently, and of course these ministers know about it too.

The Grand Tutor has not attended court for many days, using the excuse of being ill...

Everyone can understand the Master’s feelings!

By the way, Qi Yanzhen really disappointed them. Is such an emperor really worthy of their continued loyalty?

Besides, in the current situation, they were also worried that if they said something wrong, Qi Yanzhen would become furious, and then he would blame all his recent misfortunes on them, the ministers.

It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Qi Yanzhen is a narrow-minded and suspicious person. In addition to what happened recently, I am afraid that he will bear a grudge and retaliate later.

It would be better for these ministers to speak less!

Qi Yanzhen waited for a long time but no one spoke. Anger surged in his heart. None of them could be of use at the critical moment. They were all a bunch of trash, but he did not show it on his face.

Qi Yanzhen looked around at the ministers below and started to call out their names:

"Where is the Minister of Revenue?"

"The minister is here."

"Tell me what you think!"

"Yes……"

……

The morning court session ended without reaching a final conclusion.

Some ministers suggested that the princess marry a foreign prince, while others opposed...

Qi Yanzhen did not express his opinion, he was also hesitant...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and another battle report came from the border. The army of Tianfeng Kingdom occupied another city...

When Qi Yanzhen got the news, he immediately panicked.

At this rate, it won’t be long before the Tianfeng Kingdom’s army reaches Yuhuan City.

Qi Yanzhen, who was still hesitating, immediately agreed to the ministers' previous suggestion: let the princess marry.

When everyone found out that Qi Yanzhen agreed to the marriage proposal, there was not much surprise.

Next, we need to consider which princess to marry.

Qi Yanzhen has 10 princesses under his name, but only 4 of them are suitable for marriage.

Among these four princesses, three of them have already been engaged. Their fiancés are the legitimate sons of important officials in the court, so it is impossible to cancel the engagement.

That leaves Qi Heyue, the only one who is not engaged yet, so it seems that she is the most suitable candidate.

Although Qi Yanzhen loves his daughter Qi Heyue very much, compared with his own throne, what is a daughter?

When the news of the marriage reached Bai Xiuzhu and Li Jidong, they were horrified.

They finally got together, so how come they had to deal with something like a marriage?

It's really like one wave has just subsided, another wave rises!

This is an attempt to forcibly separate the couple! This is absolutely not allowed!

In addition, Li Jidong also heard the news that people from the Wu Clan had come to Yuhuan City. He also found out that the leader this time was Yan Bai.

Who is Yan Bai?

At a young age, he became the priest of their witch tribe, and his abilities and methods were superior to his.

Fortunately, he was disguised, otherwise he would have been recognized by Yan Bai and the others and would have definitely taken him and his son back to the tribe.

He would be punished according to the clan rules, and his son would remain in the Wu clan, and he could accept all of this.

What Li Jidong feared most was that according to the clan rules of the Wu clan, Bai Xiuzhu would be executed.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

He had always wanted to keep a low profile and wait for Yan Bai to take the people of the Wu Clan away from Yuhuan City, so that their family of three would be safe.

Before the Wu tribe members left, they heard about the marriage.

It was obviously unrealistic for him to take Bai Xiuzhu away quietly now.

As soon as they left, Qi Yanzhen would definitely find out immediately and send people to hunt them down. He would obviously not be their match if he used martial arts alone.

If I use witchcraft, Yan Bai and the others will definitely find out.

If they didn't use witchcraft, once they were caught, the consequences would be something neither of them could bear.

Although the decree for marriage has not yet come down, this matter will most likely fall on Bai Xiuzhu.

During these two days, Bai Xiuzhu and Li Jidong looked at their son with infinite sadness in their hearts!

Why is it so difficult for the three of them to be together?

Now the only way to make Qi Yanzhen give up the idea of ​​marriage is to defeat the army of Tianfeng Kingdom.

As long as the war was won, there would be no need for the princess to marry, and they would be safe.

Is Li Jidong already considering whether to use witchcraft to secretly help Qi Yanzhen?

On the other hand, when Song Yaoyao and the others learned that Qi Yanzhen wanted to use the princess for marriage, they analyzed the situation and knew that bad things were going to happen.

Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, once the marriage is announced, it will force Li Jidong to be on the opposite side of us.]

Gua Gua: [Host, you are right. Bai Xiuzhu and Li Jidong have been frowning these days.

Although the decree for the marriage had not yet been issued, they had already guessed that this matter would most likely fall on Bai Xiuzhu's head.

Li Jidong is already ready to make a move!

Host, you need to hurry up and resolve this matter! 】

Song Yaoyao: [Sure enough, my guess was right. When the marriage proposal came out, Li Jidong couldn't sit still.]

Guagua: [Host, what are you going to do next? ]

Song Yaoyao: [Meet Li Jidong for negotiation. ]

Guagua: [This is the only way now. ]
