who was in labor, effectively setting up a double insurance policy.How could a mother like Wan Guifen be willing to give up her own childZhao Fenglin finally said in a low voice.He believes in his ass...The new emperor of Panlong Nation never expected that his fifth younger brother would be so lucky, actually surviving. He didn't know whether to thank him or simply have him eliminated.

Still Zhangzhang reacted quickly, immediately standing up and politely asking:

"I wonder how the Prince is doing now"

The prince was assassinated by an assassin and lost an arm. It was still our merciful queen who used a three-hundred-year-old ginseng from the treasury to save him.

Ministry of Rites female officials speak their minds.

Upon hearing the female official's words, not only Zhang Zhang but even the new emperor felt relieved. Now, even if the fifth prince was still alive, he posed no threat to them. After all, a disabled prince could never ascend to the throne.

"The Empress was generous and saved Fifth Brother. This matter"

The newly enthroned Sixth Prince clearly wants to sweep this matter under the rug, but the female officials from the Ministry of Rites of Fenghui Country are not so easily fooled. They came here with a mission.

“Your Majesty, the previous war between the two countries was caused by your fifth brother who infiltrated the Phoenix Nest Kingdom to assassinate our queen. Fortunately, the queen was protected by heaven and nothing happened. He himself admitted that he did so under the orders of the late emperor.”

The Empress didn't want to make a big fuss. She only sent a royal letter, hoping your country could give an explanation and offer some compensation to the Empress. But former Emperor was being unruly and wouldn't admit to anything. He even sent assassins to kill your fifth brother in order to silence him.

It's a pity that the person was saved by us, and the former emperor also fulfilled your wishes because of his own wrong decisions!

"Your Majesty, now that you have ascended the throne as the ruler of this nation, shouldn't you give our Queen an explanation"

The female official completely ignored the expressions of the Panlong Country officials and directly stated her words plainly. The entire hall fell silent. The envoys from Xuanwu Country and Baihu Country looked at the female official from Panlong Country, their eyes flickering constantly.

"Bold lady-in-waiting, how does this matter concern our Majesty"

A minister from the Panlong Kingdom jumped out and loudly rebuked.

A female official stepped forward, surveying the crowd with disdain in her eyes. She declared loudly:

"How is this unrelated Doesn't the late emperor at the front not count as your older brother, Your Majesty Or are you people of Panlong Nation planning on changing your country's name"

The female official's words were also very sharp, making the officials who had scolded her before blush, and after a long silence, one of them said:

"With four cities already under your Phoenix Nest Country's control, what else do you desire"

"Of course that's not enough. Back when our Empress spoke, she demanded five cities as compensation, not one less! You wouldn't give them, so we'll continue to march!"

The female official refused to give an inch.

"Shameless!"

"It's better than you acting boldly but denying it. Don't think our Empress doesn't know your intentions. You just can't stand that the Phoenix Country is ruled by a female emperor, wanting to kill our Empress and plunge Phoenix Country into chaos so you can reap the benefits, right"

The female official's rebuttal was very direct.

"To use such underhanded tactics and still claim to be a chivalrous hero! I spit on you! If you have the guts, bring your troops here yourself. Our Queen will gladly acknowledge your ambition for world domination!"

The female official waved her sleeve and said loudly.

His voice boomed, loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and then he turned to address the envoys of the Baihu and Xuanwu kingdoms:

"You guys shouldn't just stand there and laugh. Panlong Nation dares to scheme against us, do you think they would bypass you It's only because they lack the capability to attack three countries simultaneously that they resort to such underhanded tactics."

As long as the assassination is successful and the Queen hasn't set a crown princess, there will be a struggle between the three princesses. At that time, our Fengqi country will be in chaos. Will you still ally with Panlong Country then and share the spoils together I wonder which of your countries will be next

Both of your emperors are in their prime, and haven't designated an heir, have they You must have numerous princes as well. Take advantage of your infighting and continue to nibble away at your territories.

Nonsense! Don't try to sow discord here! Drag him away.

Zhang Zhang immediately rebuked him.

“No need to bother! This official is merely bringing the Empress’s request. You best give this official a reply as soon as possible so that I may return and report. Should this official die within your Panlong Kingdom’s borders today, Phoenix Nest Kingdom will send troops tomorrow!”

The female official finished speaking, then turned around and walked out of the hall with her head held high.

And the new emperor's face was unusually dark, and all the officials were whispering in hushed tones. Some of the hot-tempered military officers had already started shouting, demanding that the outspoken female official be beheaded as a sacrifice to the flag and that troops be sent to attack Fengqi Country.

The envoys of Xuanwu Kingdom and Baihu Kingdom exchanged glances but remained silent.

Silence!

The eunuchs around the new emperor immediately spoke up to stop him.

Zhang Zhang then stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. We can discuss this later. Let us first receive the envoys!"

Having been reminded by Zhang Zhang, everyone remembered that there were still envoys from the other two countries in the hall. Everyone then fell silent, pretending that nothing had just happened.

The envoys from Xuanwu Kingdom and Baihu Kingdom were also very discerning. After finishing their congratulatory speech for the new emperor's enthronement and presenting their gifts, they left the hall on the pretext of weariness from their journey.

Only after the outsiders left did the new emperor lower his face and say directly:

"Hmph! To say it's a congratulations, it's clearly here to add insult to injury. Since that's the case, then let's fight! Do we even fear a mere daughter country from Feng Qi"

"Your Majesty is wise! I am willing to go into battle!"

"Your Majesty, think thrice!"

"Your Majesty, the treasury is depleted and may not be able to support this war."

An old minister with white hair and beard stood up, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"What The national treasury is empty! Where did all the money go"

The new emperor's face turned completely black.

As soon as these words were spoken, the old minister knelt down directly, trembling and said:

"Your Majesty, since your ascension to the throne, you have rewarded officials, renovated the palace, filled the harem, and prepared for the coronation ceremony. All of these things cost money."

"Where did the collected taxes go"

The new emperor asked in a harsh voice.

"Your Majesty, you forgot, because you ascended the throne, you issued an imperial decree of amnesty for the entire country and waived one year's taxes."

The old minister's head bowed even lower, but his voice reached every ear.

“ “

After attending the coronation ceremony, the female official from Fengqi Country successfully returned to Fengqi Country and brought back the national letter from Panlong Country.

The national letter's language is very ornate, the central meaning is that the new emperor ascended the throne and does not want to start any more conflicts. He wants to avoid letting the people suffer from war, which can also be seen as wiping away the foolish decision made by the previous emperor. Giving up a city will end the war between the two countries, and in the future everyone will still be good neighbors.

The Great Princess had a female official read the imperial edict, and then immediately ordered people to take possession of the new city.

Thus, the abacus of Panyulong Country fell through, while Fengqi Country gained five cities, expanding its territory. The entire nation was filled with joy and celebration.

After completing her year-long regency duties, the eldest princess handed in a satisfactory report and conducted a handover with the second princess. She then took her family to Zhuxiu Garden to visit Lianyi.

Just two months into the second princess' regency, the nation experienced unusual rainfall. It rained intermittently for half a month, causing floods that inundated several cities, resulting in widespread devastation.den birthmark on Jiang Yiy's body. It was because of this that Ginger Lululu confirmed that her best friend had been murdered.At this moment, Guo Chang'an confirmed the deceased's identity. Just as he...
