queen and pro

Chapter 210

The fifth prince didn't care about Qi Tianyu's sarcasm. Instead, he stood up and said in a serious voice: "I'm just a soldier. I don't understand you politicians. I don't understand your words. As for these horses, weapons , a craftsman, my elder brother asked me to bring it here, and he only told me one word 'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold'!"

As soon as these four words were uttered, everyone fell into deep thought.The strengths of the four countries were not much different, but in the past 20 years, the weather in Daqi has been good every year, and the government has implemented a low-tax policy of recuperation, and its strength has soared. It quickly stood out from the four countries and became the most powerful country of the four countries.However, Minglan spent a lot of financial and material resources because of the royal family's extravagance and extravagance, and the people also complained. Many citizens went to neighboring countries one after another, and the population also decreased. Eventually, it became the weakest country among the four countries, and also became the Daqi's first country to fight.

After several years of war, Minglan lost a quarter of the land. If Daqi hadn't encountered a severe drought that had never happened in a century, maybe Daqi would have attacked Luocheng.After the last war and the fifth prince's instigation this time, Prince Daxia has a certain foundation in his heart.Da Qi had to guard against this, if he captured Ming Lan, his strength would expand at that time, and the next target would be either Da Xia or Shangrao.

Qi Tianyu saw the flashes of defense on the faces of Prince Daxia and Emperor Minglan, as well as the scrutiny of the ministers around him, he wished he could rush over and tear the Fifth Prince's mouth, this guy sincerely ruined his affairs.

Emperor Ming Lan was also a master who was good at observing words and expressions, as soon as he looked up, he saw Qi Tianyu's gloomy face, and immediately stood up to smooth things over.

"The envoys of the Three Kingdoms brought me Minglan's generous gift. I am very grateful. Thank you Emperor Daqi. Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Daxia and Minglan Fifth Prince to convey to your emperor, Minglan, my gratitude to your country."

"Your majesty's words are too serious. A mere courtesy is not a respect!" Prince Daxia and the Fifth Prince of Minglan stood up at the same time, and said in unison. After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

Qi Tianyu didn't even stand up, he just said meanly: "Your Majesty Minglan is very polite, I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life like Nanshan!"

Emperor Minglan smiled dryly and thanked him again, and the banquet continued in an orderly manner.

After a while, Li Dacheng beside Qi Tianyu whispered in his ear for a while, Qi Tianyu's face turned pale when he heard this, he was the focus of the banquet, and his every move attracted everyone's attention.Therefore, many people saw the change in his expression, drank wine secretly, and stared at the change in his expression through the glass.

After a few seconds, Qi Tianyu's expression returned to normal, as if nothing happened, he sipped the wine slowly.Li Dacheng retreated in a hurry and walked towards the apse taking advantage of no one's attention.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Concubine Li Gui, who had put her head on the bed and kept crying, immediately raised her head when she heard the sound, and rushed towards the person who came: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubine..."

Li Dacheng pushed his sister onto the bed with hatred, waved away the maids, then sat down on the side of the bed, poured a glass of water, then looked up at the dumbfounded Concubine Li Gui and said: " The emperor won't come, so wake up, hey, I've already advised you, don't follow, you just don't believe me, it's just been beaten twice, be careful, don't risk your life up!"

Concubine Li Gui suddenly went crazy, and rushed to Li Dacheng, grabbed his arm and pulled it hard, shouting indistinctly: "It's all you, it's all you, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't After falling into this situation, the emperor will still love me as always, it's all because of you, I hate you..."

Li Dacheng gave her a sympathetic look, and let her sharp nails scrape blood beads on his arm, without making a sound, until Concubine Li Gui was tired and slumped on the ground, then he said quietly: "You I have been very strong since I was a child. In order to prevent you from entering the palace, my father originally planned to marry you to Qian Shilang's son, but you despised that he was not worthy of our family, so you insisted on marrying a prince. Finally, you got your wish and entered the palace Now, weren’t you very happy at first? Now you are not only blaming me, but also blaming your father. If it weren’t for my father and I holding the military power, you think that with your character and appearance, you can enter the palace and become a noble concubine second only to the queen Is it?"

Concubine Li Gui suddenly sat on the ground like a puppet, not saying a word.A trace of unbearableness flashed across Li Dacheng's face, and finally he turned his head to the other side, not looking at her.

"The emperor's favor is short-lived. Don't you understand it now? Sister, wake up. My brother and father don't expect you to bring much fame, fortune and wealth to our family. If you want to talk about money, the whole life of our family The money is enough, sometimes too much of these things is not necessarily a good thing. Before I came to Minglan, my father said that after I go back, our father and son will return to their hometowns and hand over the military power. When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to give you Release the palace, and our family of three will go back to our hometown!"

"No..." Concubine Li Gui's eyes suddenly flashed with crazy light. She stood up in one breath, grabbed Li Dacheng's arm, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "He promised me that after he returned this time, he would leave the Phoenix seal. Leave it to me, then I will be the most powerful woman in the harem. It is only the last step, you want me to give up, it is impossible!"

"You're crazy..." Li Dacheng swung her arm away and looked at her in disbelief, "Do you know that by then you will be the target of all the women in the harem, you can't even fight Lan Qiner, Can you still fight those women who are like wolves and tigers?" More importantly, you don't have a son, which is the most fatal flaw.

Concubine Li Gui returned to her former noble appearance, patted her sleeves, straightened her clothes, and sat gracefully at the table: "Look, I will let all the women know that there is no good end for going against me. Including Lan Qin'er." Then he squinted at Li Dacheng, who had a sluggish face, "If you are afraid that I will bring trouble to your Li family, then don't get in touch with me. Success and failure are all my business. If you succeed, don’t come to me either!”

Li Dacheng took a few steps back and kept shaking his head. He really didn't understand how the innocent and kind girl became such a woman. Could it be that the imperial palace is really a big dye vat, as long as people who enter it can't come out cleanly ?But why was Lan Qin'er able to escape unscathed?
