"If Your Highness has any instructions, you may simply tell me."
Li Chengqian looked at this woman, who was no more than thirty years old and had a beautiful appearance.
His gaze swept over her voluptuous and shapely figure.
His expression was rather amused.
"It is said that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Northern Qi were at odds and had many disputes, even to the point of being irreconcilable. Now it seems that these are all rumors and not to be believed."
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.
Ku He's injuries were severe and he did not heal, and the Qi army also suffered a crushing defeat.
The Northern Qi dynasty can no longer afford to offend this young crown prince of an enemy state.
However, constant concessions will only make the other side underestimate Northern Qi.
She's not incapable of backing down, but she still needs to be treated with basic respect.
"If Your Highness has any requests, Northern Qi will do its best to fulfill them if it is within its power. After all, it was indeed Northern Qi that was impolite in the events that Your Highness has encountered since entering the city."
"But I still ask Your Highness to give the Emperor of Northern Qi the respect he deserves."
"Although my Northern Qi is weak now, it still has hundreds of millions of people and millions of soldiers. Even if it means fighting to the death, I am not unwilling, but I am not incapable of doing so!"
The hundreds of thousands of Northern Qi troops inside Jianmen Pass were certainly not all of Northern Qi's soldiers.
In addition to the soldiers stationed in various places
There are also a considerable number of border troops in various border areas.
It should be noted that the territory of Northern Qi was much larger than that of Southern Qing.
It is not impossible for a single imperial decree to mobilize a million troops.
Li Chengqian leaned back gently in his chair.
While playing with Si Lili's long hair,
He looked at the noblewoman in front of him with a cold gaze.
"Going all in at once? You're welcome to try."
He is neither afraid of threats nor is he threatened.
A million soldiers, what a grand display!
Leaving aside whether Northern Qi had the time to mobilize such a million-strong army,
Even with a million troops mobilized,
What significance does it have for a grandmaster who can come and go as he pleases?
Even the time required to mobilize this million-strong army...
The Northern Qi royal family may have all died out.
So for whom will the million-strong army of Northern Qi fight?
The Empress Dowager's face stiffened slightly.
A faint killing intent enveloped her, instantly making her understand what it meant to have one's life and death in someone else's hands.
What does it mean to be at the mercy of others?
At this moment, Zhan Doudou grabbed the Empress Dowager's arm, pulled her behind her, and forced a smile.
"Your Majesty has no such intention. I guarantee in the name of the Emperor that the Northern Qi royal family has no intention of being your enemy."
Beside him, Yan Bingyun had been gathering the people from all four branches of the Censorate in the capital city over the past few days.
Naturally, they also collected all of Li Chengqian's deeds.
·· Requesting flowers ··
However, until today,
Seeing the humble appearance of the two most powerful people in Northern Qi at this moment,
He then truly realized that
Just how astonishing is the power of their Crown Prince of Qing Kingdom!
No wonder, even Dean Chen Pingping, who has always avoided associating with any members of the royal family,
They also chose to pledge allegiance to this Crown Prince.
Yan Bingyun's feelings of emotion and shock were unprecedented.
Sean increasingly felt that,
How wise it was for him to betray Northern Qi.
Jing Ni, however, was not surprised at all.
In her heart, Li Chengqian was the supreme god.
Everyone should grovel at his feet!
Whether it was the emperor or the empress dowager of Northern Qi,
In the face of absolute power, no matter how noble one's status, it is meaningless.
Death is like a lamp going out.
With a single sword strike, even the greatest power and wealth will vanish into thin air.
Li Chengqian glanced calmly at Zhan Doudou and said indifferently, "So what if the Northern Qi royal family is my enemy?"
"Moreover, what's the point of a guarantee from someone who's hiding their true intentions?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Lili's body trembled slightly.
A hint of uncontrollable panic appeared on Zhan Doudou and Taihou's faces.
Zhan Doudou's face was pale, and there were some sweat stains at her temples.
"I don't quite understand what Your Highness means by that."
Li Chengqian coldly shattered Zhan Doudou's illusions.
"The Emperor of Northern Qi is actually a woman. If the people of Northern Qi knew this, I wonder if you could still sit securely on the throne?"
After saying this, Zhan Doudou could no longer remain calm, and neither could the Empress Dowager.
The biggest secret of the Northern Qi royal family, which they had kept hidden for over a decade.
Li Chengqian saw right through him with just one sentence.
Fear, anger, panic—countless emotions nearly overwhelmed the two of them.
The situation in Northern Qi was already unstable.
Once the news that Zhan Doudou is a woman gets out, it will surely cause great chaos.
Moreover, Ku He, who is now the pillar of the Northern Qi royal family, is seriously injured and unable to appear.
Once a rebellion breaks out, the consequences are almost devastating.
Fortunately, when they dismissed the Northern Qi court officials,
The attendants and guards in the Golden Palace also left one by one.
Otherwise, the fact that the emperor of Northern Qi was a woman...
It'll probably spread throughout the entire capital city in a single day! (B)
Chapter 125 Zhan Doudou: Your Highness, did I hear that right? You want to marry me?
Zhan Doudou's gaze unconsciously drifted to Si Lili, who was being held in Li Chengqian's arms.
Not many people know her true gender.
Si Lili, who grew up with him, is one of them.
However, I never imagined that Si Lili would leak this information.
But now it seems that
The most suspicious person is Si Lili.
But now is not the time to dwell on these matters.
Even if it was indeed Si Lili who told Li Chengqian about this,
To put it bluntly, she had no way to deal with Si Lili.
This is the fundamental difference between being alone and having someone backing you up.
What she needs to consider now is...
How to suppress this matter and resolve it as much as possible.
In reality, even if an ordinary person knew about this, their credibility would be insufficient.
Even if I told anyone, no one would believe me.
But Li Chengqian was different. First of all, his words carried a high degree of credibility.
What's most frightening is that he also has enough ability to prove the truth of these words.
"057" is what terrifies her.
Just for a short time,
Her mind was in complete disarray; she had no idea how to handle the situation.
aside,
The Empress Dowager struggled for a long time before finally looking dejected.
It would be one thing if such a crucial matter concerning the foundation of the nation became known to the public.
But the other party was the crown prince of an enemy country, and even a grandmaster whom no one dared to offend.
Such a fatal weakness was in the hands of the other party.
This is no longer a question of how much they need to pay to satisfy the other party.
