The entire court, civil and military officials, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and knelt down in fear to pledge their loyalty: "We are loyal to the emperor and love our country. We will never betray the emperor."
Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Pei Changying no longer believed them.
He looked at each of them as if they might be spies.
He suddenly felt terrible, as if there was no one in this world worthy of his trust.
He suddenly thought of Gu Sang who risked his life to save him twice.
Only Gu Sang is worthy of his trust.
Gu Sang, please come back and help me!
system!
Damn system, I want to contact Gu Sang!
Contact Gu Sang for me!
"bite!"
"Establishing connection!"
The familiar cold voice appeared in Pei Changying's mind again, and Pei Changying's eyes lit up instantly.
He is indeed the chosen one.
Even the system will choose to help him!
When Gu Sang's face appeared on the screen above the hall, Pei Changying looked at Gu Sang and was almost moved to tears: "I knew that at the critical moment, you still care about me the most."
Gu Sang: “…”
"Sangsang, Sangsang, I need you, please come back!"
Gu Sang was sitting in a bright classroom listening to a lecture. She held a pen between her fingertips, her brows gentle, but her expression turned cold the moment she saw him.
After hearing Pei Changying's pleading words, Gu Sang's mouth twitched.
A sneering and mocking voice suddenly came out of her mouth: "Pei Changying, I won't say it three times if you say you love me affectionately again."
"This connection is unnecessary."
Pei Changying's emotions, which were about to burst out, were suppressed by Gu Sang's cold attitude.
He stared at Gu Sang intently, with various expressions of shame, anger, pride, etc. appearing alternately on his affectionate face, but Gu Sang was reluctant to even look up at him.
After a few seconds, all that remained was overwhelming anger.
Pei Changying yelled at Gu Sang, "Is there any need for that? I am your husband. Once we're married, we'll be husband and wife forever. How long are you going to keep on being unreasonable?"
"Gu Sang."
"Do you know how much sin you have committed?"
"Tens of thousands of people died at the border because of you. Not a single one escaped. They were all killed by the Xiongnu. Their bodies are still hanging on the city walls."
"Can you hear them crying to you? You can still study with peace of mind. Won't you dream of them asking for your life at night?"
Gu Sang stopped writing and looked up at Pei Changying with surprise and some sense of non-surprise.
"What happened at the border? Explain clearly, what do their deaths have to do with me?"
Pei Changying finally saw other emotions on Gu Sang's face.
He sneered and accused, "If you hadn't instigated Pei Weiqi to rebel, would I have sent an army to Plague City to kill that damned divorced woman?"
"If I hadn't sent a large army, would the Xiongnu have taken advantage of the situation and invaded?"
"This incident started because of you, and the deaths of the people at the border are also because of you."
"Come back quickly and solve this matter for me."
Gu Sang finally understood. She had been in contact with the eldest princess and knew that General Guan had been transferred away from the border.
Putting all these things together, Gu Sang knew what was going on.
The border defenses were weak, and the Huns took the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.
What Gu Sang was most worried about during this period was the border defense being breached. She didn't expect that this day would come so soon. She was just about to ask for more detailed information about the battle situation.
But after seeing Pei Changying's sparkling eyes, she suddenly stopped talking.
Gu Sang changed the subject and sneered:
"That's funny, wasn't this your idea?"
"This is unprecedented and will never be repeated. This is your world, not mine! This is the first time I've heard of sending a general guarding the border to suppress rebels."
"If you hadn't transferred the border soldiers to Plague City, how could the Huns have taken advantage of the opportunity to invade?"
"Are you brainless? Have you never considered the consequences? Which is more important, your power or the lives of hundreds of millions of people?"
As the emperor who is high above everyone else, how could Pei Changying admit his mistakes?
He also didn't expect General Guan to be such a waste.
It's been more than half a month, and we still can't capture the eldest princess.
Pei Changying immediately said coldly: "Humph, my plan will not go wrong. If there were no Xiongnu spies in the court, how would the Xiongnu know that the border defenses are weak?"
The ministers under suspicion: ...
I feel heartbroken for more than just one or two days!
Heaven and earth swear by me.
Although they are a little greedy and bad, it is impossible for them to sell out the country!
"Don't throw everything on the minister. It's really sad to be your minister."
"Do you think the Xiongnu are as clueless as you? Anyone who's not blind will be able to tell if their defenses are weak or not after a while."
"You're blaming me, the princess, and the entire court. It's actually just your incompetence."
"Pei Changying, you contacted me and told me this specifically because you wanted me and the princess to help you pacify the Xiongnu! The mistakes you made have cost the lives of tens of millions of people. Your position as emperor is truly a joke!"
"Idiot! You have to bear the consequences of your own actions!"
Without waiting for Pei Changying to say anything else, Gu Sang heartlessly closed the connection.
The ministers kneeling on the ground felt a tremor in their hearts.
They quietly raised their heads and glanced at the gloomy emperor sitting on the high throne. Thinking of all the recent events, they suddenly fell to the ground in despair, their hearts broken into two...
