No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

When Li Cheng woke up slowly, he saw Yaliqi standing by the bed.

Yaliqi was deceived?

He subconsciously thought that Han Tai had succeeded, and tears started streaming down his face before he could even say anything.

Then he became anxious: "Go! Go! Go quickly!"

His voice was hoarse, but his eyes were filled with anxiety.

He didn't want Yaliqi to be hurt in any way because of him!

Seeing how excited he was, Yaliqi understood his heart.

"What will you do if I leave?" she asked, holding back her sobs.

Li Cheng laughed miserably: "This is my fate. If I die, I die."

"You are different, don't let me get you into trouble."

"Go away and leave me alone, or I'll die now!"

Yaliqi interrogated Han Tai and knew that he wanted to use Li Cheng to capture her.

But Li Cheng refused to comply, so he could only knock her out and then write a letter to trick her out.

However, this way, there were too many loopholes, so it failed.

If Li Cheng wanted to deceive her just for the sake of his mother and his own life, she might fall for it...

Yaliqi couldn't help but protect him, patting his back and comforting him: "It's okay, it's okay, Han Tai and others have been caught, no one can hurt you."

Li Cheng was in a state of nervousness, and his mind was a little unclear.

All he could think about was getting Yaliqi to leave, otherwise she would get hurt.

Yaliqi comforted him for a long time until Mu Yi dragged the bruised and battered Han Tai over like a dead dog, and he finally calmed down.

But even so, Li Cheng still shed tears silently.

As quiet as a wounded kitten, silently licking its wounds.

The mountain pressing down on his head, the difficulty that he felt he could not overcome, was easily conquered by Yaliqi?

Li Cheng began to doubt his life!

Yaliqi patiently tried to comfort him, and finally waited for Li Cheng to calm down before asking carefully, "Is this why you were so restless before your New Year's holiday?"

Li Cheng nodded, then shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Not exactly."

At this point, it feels like I've been to the gates of hell.

He no longer thought about Goguryeo. After all, both his father and elder brother were his enemies.

He even wondered, as a prince, why couldn't he become the king of Goguryeo.

In terms of knowledge, he is now studying at the Imperial College, and it is only a matter of time before he surpasses his elder brother.

In terms of origin, his mother was from the Cui family, a large family, and the maternal family was respected.

Why can't he fight?

He confessed, "Because I got the news that Goguryeo is stationing troops, and my eldest brother has evil ambitions..."

He felt even more relieved when he told Yaliqi everything he knew.

Anyway, Yaliqi is smarter than him and has more power, so just give it to her.

When Yaliqi heard this, she knew that Goguryeo was trying to cause trouble.

However, Goguryeo itself did not have a large population and could not be stupid enough to fight the Qing Dynasty alone.

Then, it means there are other people behind them!

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this," Yaliqi promised, "As for your mother, I will send someone to rescue her."

"You are already weak, so don't worry anymore."

"Leave it to me, okay?"

These words coming from Yaliqi's mouth make people feel extremely at ease.

Li Cheng had no other good solution and could only place all his hopes on her.

He has to take good care of himself from now on.

Who would want to die if he could live well?

Yaliqi settled Li Cheng in the guest house next to her yard and hurried to Jiuzhou Qingyan.

The Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan were discussing the promotion of rice when Yaliqi rushed in and dropped such a big bomb.

"Goguryeo stationed troops?" The Fourth Master's face suddenly became serious.

Goguryeo was never a docile cat, but a cunning fox.

Therefore, the Fourth Master has always been on guard against Goguryeo and has always paid attention to the situation there.

When I heard the news, my mind went through a lot.

He immediately set his sights on the Gongbang and the Maozi.

Now, if anyone wants to threaten the Qing Dynasty’s border, they have to form an alliance and attack at the same time.

Because the border is too long, if the Qing Dynasty wants to defend the entire border, it will not have enough troops.

And among these three countries, the Russians are the most powerful.

The people there are tall and strong, and the population is quite large.

But the weather there is extremely cold, so they are particularly eyeing the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

If the three countries attacked at the same time, the first country the Qing Dynasty would choose to resist would definitely be the Russians.

Then wouldn't the remaining two countries be able to take advantage?!

"No wonder the nobles of Konbaung came to cause trouble first, and then Goguryeo wanted to kidnap my daughter!" The Fourth Master's voice was cold, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

Lin Mingyan also sneered: "Doesn't this reveal the truth?"

"At least Gongbaung and Goguryeo are still in the preparation stage, we should catch them off guard!"

Originally, she thought that since Goguryeo had given Yaliqi a prince, he would be her relative, so she wouldn't be too harsh on him.

I didn't expect that they were so incompetent that they had to rush over to try the Qing Dynasty's artillery fire.

Seeing that she was so angry that she slammed the table, the Fourth Master was not so angry himself and had to comfort her first.

"Okay, okay, Cha Cha is right, let's fight first!" The Fourth Master agreed with her.

However, there must be a reason for sending troops, otherwise it will easily be criticized.

Lin Mingyan had long known the helplessness of the great powers, and in an instant she came up with a reason: "Attack Goguryeo and purge the emperor's side!"

"The eldest prince is ambitious and has taken control of Goguryeo, recruiting too many soldiers."

"The Fourth Prince went to the suzerain state to ask for support. Isn't that enough?"

"As for the Gongbang, Fourteenth was there with his troops, and lost an important Qing soldier. Isn't that a reason?"

Aren’t these all excellent reasons?

The Fourth Master was convinced: "Cha Cha's brain is really active!"

The first reason was indeed something he was able to come up with after discussing it with his ministers.

But he really couldn't use the excuse of "lost soldiers"!

Lin Mingyan thought to herself that these were all conspiracies and tricks played by others, and were the blood and tears lessons of our Chinese nation.

Every little thing she did today was to ensure that no one would dare to repeat this scene on their territory in the future!

The Fourth Master is not a conservative person, and he can't care about so many things in this critical moment.

If these three kingdoms were given time to prepare, it would be the Qing Dynasty that would suffer, and it would be the people of the Qing Dynasty who would be separated from their wives and children!

Before the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Fourth Master summoned his ministers to work overtime that night and made two important decisions.

The first one to deal with is of course Goguryeo, after all, they are close to the Russians.

If we don't take it down quickly and the news leaks out, the Russian support will arrive soon.

Then the Qing Dynasty would be dragged into the quagmire of a protracted war, which would be detrimental to both the country and the people.

So before the lanterns were taken down for the Lantern Festival, Yaliqi led his army towards Goguryeo...
