Chapter 155 There Are Always Exceptions

Yan Li held the tea cup in his hand and looked at him quietly, suddenly remembering what those guys said about Ming Qi.

They often say that Ming Qi is a man whose age cannot be discerned. Although he always smiles and shows off, he is actually heartless and desireless. He wears a white shirt all day long as if he has become an immortal, but in the end he really sees through the world of mortals and runs to practice and become an immortal.

Ming Qi always responded with a smile: "What's wrong with practicing? You don't have to be trapped in the troubles of the world, you don't have to be hurt by love, you have no desires and no demands, and you can live a free and easy life."

Now that I think about it, what he said seems to make sense.

"Miss Yan?"

The man stood in front of him in a clean white shirt, with a smile on his lips and suppressed emotions hidden in his clean and deep eyes.

Yan Li came to his senses, raised his hand and said, "Sit down."

The waiter served the refreshments and left respectfully without saying much.

Ming Qi sat down opposite her, looked at Yan Li's face carefully, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how many years have you picked up in vain? A twenty-year-old woman suddenly turned into a fourteen-year-old girl, taking advantage of a six-year-old ”

Yan Li raised her hand and touched her face: "You are too young and immature, which damages my dignity."

"No." Ming Qi shook his head, "An ordinary fourteen-year-old girl will never have such magnanimity as your Majesty."

"Flattery is not your style." Yan Li smiled lightly, "Have you brought the Emperor's Blood Pill that I asked you to bring?"

"Bring it here." Ming Qi said, frowning slightly, "Your Majesty really plans to marry the Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom?"

Yan Li narrowed her eyes: "The marriage was originally just a temporary measure."

"What now?"

Now?

Yan Li smiled, his eyebrows dyed with a breathtaking brilliance: "He said he could help me become the first empress of the Nine Provinces, dominate the world, and be praised by future generations."

Ming Qi frowned: "Master, if you really want to dominate the world, we can do it."

Yan Li didn't refute.

She knew what Ming Qi said was true.

But to be honest, even though she has the most powerful reading group in history, she has never thought about conquering the world and unifying Kyushu before.

The reason why he was persuaded by Mu Cang may be that in addition to the ambition hidden in his bones, he wanted to know how many secrets Mu Cang had hidden in him.

Mu Cang is too mysterious.

People who don't know him only think that he is the God of War of the Kingdom of Mu, the younger brother of the emperor, and the powerful Ninth Prince.

But after Yan Li came into contact with him, she discovered that Mu Cang's identity was much more than that.

She looks forward to the process of uncovering the truth bit by bit in the future.

"Your Majesty should know his identity and responsibilities." Ming Qi's tone was gentle, as if he was admonishing, "Both Northern Xinjiang and the Kingdom of Jin are eyeing the Kingdom of Mu. Their borders must have elite troops stationed all year round, otherwise they will fall into the hands of ambitious people at any time. inside."

Yan Li took a sip of tea and said, "I know."

Due to its geographical location, the border defenses of the Mu Kingdom are the easiest to break through. Other countries are either too far away from the Jin Kingdom and Northern Xinjiang, or they are separated by mountains and seas, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Another neighboring country, the Jin State, has a marriage alliance with the Mu State, so the pressure on the Mu State has been reduced in recent years. Otherwise, if the three countries had formed an alliance, the Mu State might have been divided as early as ten years ago.

In recent years, Northern Xinjiang and the Kingdom of Jin have frequently increased their troops, and their wolf ambitions towards the Kingdom of Mu can no longer be concealed. However, because of the presence of the Ling family and the Ninth Prince of the Protectorate, the two countries have been unable to break through the border.

Emperor Mu knew the importance of generals, so he relied heavily on the Protector and the Ninth Prince.

After all, we have to rely on them to guard the border.

Mu Cang is a descendant of the royal family and has a sense of responsibility to protect his family and country. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to leave the territory of his family and country.

The empress of the Southern Kingdom could not stay in the Mu Kingdom for a long time.

Therefore, their engagement will break up sooner or later.

But there are always exceptions.

Yan Li thought about what Mu Cang said, and always felt that he didn't seem to have much sense of belonging and responsibility to Mu Guo.

"I know my identity, and my daughter's love is not in my plan." Yan Li said calmly, "At first, I was just worried that this body was too weak. I had just arrived in an unfamiliar place and had no ability to protect myself. I didn't want to worry about the time. I face difficulties from all directions all the time, so I chose Mu Cang.”

She is used to weighing the pros and cons, and subconsciously makes decisions from the most advantageous perspective.

She just didn't expect that the person Mu Cang liked in his heart was actually herself.

"Your Majesty has a chance to repent." Ming Qi said warmly, "The four men from Tianshu have arrived, Rong Xiao is on the way, and King Yu also brought some elites, who have broken into pieces and quietly entered the territory of Mu Kingdom."

Therefore, regardless of whether he returns to the Southern Kingdom for the time being or not, Yan Li will not be in danger again.

This marriage can be canceled at any time.

Yan Li frowned: "Brother Four Emperors are here too?"

"Yes." Ming Qi nodded, "Prince Yu was worried and insisted on coming to see it in person. Fortunately, Prince Feng stayed in the imperial capital to guard the court. Those with evil intentions will always have ambitions but cannot succeed."

Phoenix King Xuanyuan Mo, the eldest son of the previous generation emperor and the eldest brother of the current Southern Kingdom Empress, is titled Phoenix King and is in charge of the 50,000 most elite black cavalry in the Southern Kingdom.

Yan Li frowned slightly: "Who else knows?"

"Before receiving your Majesty's letter, the high priest had already calculated that your Majesty's soul had fallen into the Kingdom of Mu, and immediately summoned the four kings Feng Wang, Yu Wang, Lu Chuan, and Chen to the priest's hall to discuss the matter together."

Ming Qi smiled bitterly: "In the days when His Majesty's accident happened, a few of us were thrown into disarray by sudden changes. It was King Feng who controlled the court and invited the high priest in time to control the situation."

Yan Li nodded: "Tian Shu has already told me part of it, so it's hard for you."

"Your Majesty's dragon body has been sealed in an ice coffin in the Priest's Hall by the High Priest. The secret room where the ice coffin is placed is guarded by the High Priest's Hall and the masters arranged by the Phoenix King. No one can get close."

Ming Qi's voice was gentle, and he slowly informed the situation in the Southern Kingdom: "The High Priest said that Your Majesty's eternal lamp has not been extinguished. The short sleep is just a disaster in Your Majesty's life. When the time is right, Your Majesty will naturally wake up and continue to hold power in the country."

People who are not aware of the situation only know that His Majesty suddenly fell asleep, and they don't know that His Majesty has been reborn in the body of a girl in the Mu Kingdom.

So the High Priest only said to the outside that His Majesty would wake up.

Yan Li said, "Tianshu reported that three groups of assassins had broken into the Priest's Hall."

"That's true." Mingqi nodded, "Someone tried to extinguish your majesty's eternal lamp, but all three times failed."

Yan Li said calmly, "Is it related to King Xiao?" Tianlai Novel Network

"King Xiao has never shown up, but it is very likely that it was Shen Yanshu." Mingqi said in a slightly cold tone, "King Feng has found out that Shen Yanshu has a close relationship with King Xiao, and your majesty's accident is inseparable from him."

Speaking of this, Mingqi's expression was complicated: "Although I don't want to doubt Shen Yanshu, all the evidence points to him, and it's impossible for people to defend him."

Shen Yanshu, the brilliant young prime minister of the Southern Kingdom, was one of the companions of the empress before she ascended the throne. He was gentle and talented, and was the favorite of the Taifu when he was studying.

After entering the officialdom, Shen Yanshu was even more adept at dancing with long sleeves, and his heart was as deep as the sea. He always had a gentle and harmless smile that made people involuntarily let down their guard and trust him.

Whoever saw him would not praise him as a gentle young man?

In addition, due to the heartbreaking experiences he had since childhood, Xihe trusted him more than others and took better care of him.

Unexpectedly...

Yan Li said nothing, but her eyes were cold: "It is true that Shen Yanshu and King Xiao have a close relationship, but we don't know how close they are yet."
