Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 23 Chen Pingping’s sister, Princess Nanqing Chen Luoer?
Amid the grim looks on everyone's faces, the messenger rushed into the Qinzheng Hall with an urgent report.

As soon as he came in, he knelt down, gasped, opened the emergency report and started reading it.

"Last night, the eldest prince of Nanqing led his elite troops to attack Liangcheng at night. We were caught off guard. Liangcheng was lost, 3,000 soldiers were killed, and more than 10,000 were injured!"

"Nanqing has sent an envoy to ask us to return an important official of Qing State, the sister of the Dean of the Inspection Institute Chen Pingping, and the Princess of Qing State, Chen Luoer!" After the messenger finished speaking, he fainted.

Two eunuchs immediately came up and helped him down to rest.

But his words caused an uproar in the court. The ministers began to talk among themselves, and many of them secretly looked at Chen Luo.

Zhan Doudou's body was trembling, her face turned pale, and she held Chen Luo's hand tighter and tighter, sweat already appearing on her forehead.

War, this word was too unfamiliar to her. She only listened to the news in the battle report, which said that three thousand soldiers were killed in one night and there were probably more than ten thousand injured.

Moreover, the reason for Nanqing's attack was actually for Chen Luo, and they asked them to hand over Chen Luo. How could she agree?

As for Chen Luo's identity, is it important? Not to mention that Nan Qing's reasons couldn't be more false, even if it was true, so what? Today, Chen Luo is her queen, the father of the state of Northern Qi!
Chen Luo felt her nervousness and sighed helplessly in his heart. After all, she was just a little girl who was protected too well. But it was also good this way. Seeing too many things might make her no longer herself.

Zhan Doudou looked at him in panic, and as their eyes met, the fear in her heart miraculously subsided.

Looking at the panicked but arguing ministers below, Chen Luo's face turned cold. After the trouble was solved, he would replace these parasites.

"There's no need to argue, Nanqing's invasion is a fact, and what we should do is fight back, not be cowardly before the battle!"

"If anyone else talks about sending envoys to negotiate and shakes the hearts of our people, they will be charged with treason!"

Chen Luo's words silenced the arguing ministers below. Some of them subconsciously wanted to refute, but when they saw the Jinyiwei who had appeared around them at some point, they held back their rebuttals.

Uesugi Tora looked at him with admiration and agreed with what he said. Others are attacking you, but instead of thinking about fighting back, you are thinking about peace talks. Isn't this just telling the other party that you are easy to bully and letting them bully you severely?

He suddenly felt like laughing. The powerful officials of Northern Qi gathered in the Qinzheng Hall. They all thought they were extremely smart, but none of them had the courage to see through things as well as the women did!
Seeing that the ministers had gone quiet, Chen Luo stood up and spoke again: "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country. You are my Northern Qi's ministers, and you should think about seeking benefits for my Northern Qi, not for Nanqing!"

"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, you are still timid. You haven't even reached the border, and haven't fought the enemy to the death, but the soldiers are not afraid, but you are the first to be scared!!"

His voice was extremely clear under the blessing of Mingyu Gong, as if he was speaking into everyone's ears.

Many ministers blushed with shame and disdain. It sounded nice, as if they were on the battlefield. Aren't we still standing here and discussing with them? If you have the guts, wait until you are on the battlefield before you say this!
And didn't you hear it? The reason why this war started was because of you, Chen Luo. Although everyone knew it was fake, they still thought that Chen Luo wanted to fight because he was afraid of death. Otherwise, why didn't he say anything earlier?

But some people were inspired by these words, especially Zhan Doudou. She murmured blankly, "The emperor guards the national gate, and the king dies for the country," and suddenly she understood something.

Looking at Chen Luo's back, her eyes became firm, and she seemed to have matured in an instant.

Zhan Doudou stood up and said, "The Queen is right. The emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country. Since Nanqing is invading our Northern Qi, no matter what the reason is, our Northern Qi will fight to the death!"

"Uesugi Tora, I order you to set off for the border immediately to stop Nanqing's offensive!!" Upon hearing this order, many ministers wanted to dissuade him, but looking at the Jinyiwei around them with their Embroidered Spring Swords slightly unsheathed, they tactfully shut their mouths.

The court today is no longer the same as before. Now it is Zhan Doudou and Chen Luo who have the final say!
Uesugi Tora's smile widened when he heard this. He half-knelt on the ground and said, "I will not let your majesty down!"

Zhan Doudou nodded, then looked at Chen Luo somewhat sadly, with deep expectation and worry in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you should believe me, right?" Chen Luo smiled and held her little hand, interlocking their fingers.

He knew that Zhan Doudou was worried about his safety, but he had to go this time. He might not have had to go before, but now Nan Qing used him as an excuse, so if he didn't go, he would have tacitly agreed to the matter.

It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, many people would complain about him. After all, the reason why Nanqing started the war was to get back him, the 'sister of Chen Pingping, the Princess of Qing'!
Only if he goes and personally leads the war can he dispel the rumors that may arise and at the same time boost the morale of the soldiers on the border.

The most important point is that he did not forget his previous idea. Since Nanqing dared to attack, he would find a way to fight back and force Nanqing to cede land and pay compensation as a defeated country!

Zhan Doudou tightened her grip on his hand, and seeing how determined he was, she could only close her eyes sadly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The Queen feels that the situation at the border is not easy, and she has requested to go to the border to help!"

"I... allow!"

The sudden words caught everyone off guard. After hearing them clearly, they all looked over in disbelief, and Uesugi Tora was no exception.

There was shock and suspicion in everyone's eyes. Many people who had previously guessed that Chen Luo was afraid of death felt a little embarrassed. Just one foot said that he would not go to the battlefield, and the next foot he asked for permission to go to the battlefield.

Before everyone came back to their senses, Chen Luo bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your agreement. I...I will live up to your expectations and advance and retreat together with the border soldiers!"

Zhan Doudou immediately helped him up, held his hand and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her pursed mouth, as if she was about to cry, made Chen Luo feel helpless and amused.

In fact, there was really no danger for him to go to the battlefield this time. Given his identity, Uesugi Tora would definitely protect him to the death. Otherwise, if he was captured or killed, the army's morale would inevitably be broken and it would be impossible to bring it back.

Nanqing will not kill him either. A living queen is far more useful than a dead one. They would not kill him if they were not stupid.

What's more, he will bring Baihu and Xuanwu with him this time. With two ninth-grade masters protecting him, it may be much safer than in the imperial palace.

Now that he knew there would be no danger, there were many things he could do.

When Chen Luo was pondering how to counterattack Nanqing, he suddenly heard a sound of everyone kneeling. Turning around, he saw that all the ministers were kneeling on the ground. Even Uesugi Tora was half-kneeling with his hands clasped together.

"The Queen's righteousness is a blessing to our Northern Qi!!" a uniform shout rang out.

The corners of Chen Luo's mouth twitched. Could it be that these people thought that he was going to use himself to stop the war?
He is neither so righteous nor so stupid. If he is really caught with this appearance, Emperor Qing will do something improper to him, either out of the intention of humiliating Northern Qi or because of his beauty.

By then, the fact that he is a man will be exposed!
If there is anything more shameful than wearing women's clothes, it is letting the whole world know that you are wearing women's clothes!
