Not qualified anymore!
Because the eldest princess is dressed in military uniform, sitting on a horse, looking strong and indomitable, and the soldiers standing behind her are her confidence!
She looked down upon the generals and ministers on the opposite side.
With a cold yet calm expression, he said, "If you want to bring me back to the capital, not only do I disagree, even the soldiers behind me won't agree!"
The words fell.
Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, supporting the eldest princess!
The sound was deafening, and the generals and ministers were so angry that their faces turned blue.
The eldest princess said: "I will never hand over this sweet potato, let alone return to the capital. Please give it up."
"Pei Changying has already made a mistake. He will surely fall behind me step by step."
"I advise you two, given Pei Changying's character, if you return to the capital empty-handed without finding the sweet potato vine, your entire clan will be implicated. It would be better for you to join me."
"I believe that these days, the two adults have also seen the lives of the local people in Lingnan clearly. Is Pei Changying still worth your life?"
Good job.
How dare the eldest princess persuade them to rebel?
The general remained unmoved: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you!"
The Minister of Works gnashed his teeth and said, "Princess, you only have a few thousand soldiers and horses. You can't fight against the imperial court! I urge you to return with us as soon as possible. Perhaps the emperor will show you some mercy."
"Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
"Besides, the Emperor is not a foolish man. It is understandable that we did not retrieve the sweet potatoes in time. He will definitely not punish us!"
Yeah?
Really not?
Before the princess could look at them as if they were idiots, Gu Sang on the screen sneered, "Do you really trust Pei Changying so much?"
"Let's do this."
"I'm going to make a bet with you. I'm sure if you return empty-handed, Pei Changying will be furious and punish you. At the very least, he'll beat you to a pulp, or at worst, his entire clan will be implicated."
"If I win the bet, are you willing to assist the princess in the future?"
The words fell.
All the ministers' faces changed drastically.
"You, you are ridiculous! The eldest princess is a woman. This country would rather replace someone else than let a woman take the throne!"
"Impossible! The emperor will never punish us for not finding sweet potatoes!" The Minister of Works retorted loudly with a sullen face.
Gu Sang: ......
The ministers were furious.
He waved his hand to order a thousand soldiers to arrest the princess immediately.
Zhou Qichen stepped forward and stood in front of the eldest princess.
The soldiers behind her who had been trained in combat were staring at the people from the imperial court like wolves and tigers, as if they could kill them all with just the eldest princess's order.
The two sides faced each other, and their momentum was suppressed.
Half an hour later, beads of sweat appeared on Gongbu's forehead. He looked at Gu Sang and the eldest princess with a very nervous expression.
For a moment, the whole street was silent.
In this strange silence, the eldest princess suddenly smiled and said, "Send all the generals and ministers out of the city!"
The Ministry of Works and the military generals breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't dare say another word and hurriedly left Lingnan with their soldiers.
Not until those frightening gazes behind him disappeared did Gong Bu completely let go of his worries.
Ministry of Works: "The Princess and Zhou Qichen are in cahoots. We must return to the capital immediately to inform the Emperor and take precautions."
"General Qin, send a few soldiers to protect me. I need to take the water route and return early."
The Lingnan area is now completely under the control of the princess, but the civil and military officials in the capital are unaware of it.
Pei Changying was still dreaming of a stable regime and was waiting for the Ministry of Industry to bring back the sweet potato vines.
Among the concubines in the harem watching the live broadcast, Concubine Li felt the most sorry for Concubine Zhao's experience and wanted to go to the cold palace with Queen Gu Qingrou to persuade Concubine Zhao.
The moment you open the house!
A rotten smell hit me in the face, this was the musty smell that came from the room not being ventilated for a long time.
Gu Qingrou and Li Pin waited at the door for a while, and only walked in gracefully when the smell in the room was no longer so unpleasant.
"Sister Zhao."
"The Queen and I have come to see you. You have suffered."
When Concubine Zhao heard the sound, she sat up on the bed with difficulty.
Today, Concubine Zhao is no longer as bright and beautiful as before. Except for her face, there is not a single good part on her body. She looks so miserable that it makes people feel distressed.
Li Bin and Gu Qingrou took a step back in fear: "You!!"
"Sister Zhao, you...why are you doing this?"
"This cold palace is not a place for people to stay. Go and admit your mistakes to the emperor and say a few good words. The emperor loved you so much in the past, he will definitely forgive you."
"Concubine Zhao, the affairs of the court are not something the harem can interfere with. You were really confused at that time." Gu Qingrou stared at Concubine Zhao with a complicated expression.
Before coming here, she wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but seeing Zhaopin's appearance...
Gu Qingrou couldn't bring herself to say those gloating words.
Concubine Zhao laughed out loud in self-deprecation, her voice very hoarse: "Haha."
"Confused? Maybe..."
"Did the Emperor send you to persuade me? He still refuses to give up and still dreams of getting Sister Sang back?"
When Gu Qingrou heard the words "Let Gu Sang come back", her face turned pale.
In fact, Gu Qingrou knew it very well in her heart!
The emperor has Gu Sang in his heart, and he made himself the queen just to destroy Gu Sang's dignity...
Anyway, it is impossible for her to go to the afterlife, so she might as well face the reality. Being the queen is fine, as long as Gu Sang doesn't come back to compete with her.
"The emperor is also doing this for the people, Concubine Zhao, please don't blame the emperor." Gu Qingrou advised kindly.
Concubine Zhao coughed weakly a few times and lowered her eyes. "I understand, Queen Sister. Do you know what's going on outside now? Are Sister Sang and the Princess okay?"
Li Fei, who was standing next to her, immediately interrupted and said, "The Emperor was very angry a few days ago."
"It seems that General Zhou has gone to seek refuge with the Princess, and is... plotting a rebellion. The Emperor has already sent troops to capture the Princess. They will probably arrive in the capital in the next two days."
"I really don't know what the princess is thinking. How can a woman dream of rebellion?"
But——
This sentence!
Like a sharp arrow, it pierced Zhao Bin's heart!
She looked up suddenly.
Several emotions flashed in his eyes, like a brilliant firework exploding at the end of the world, short-lived and charming, and in the end, turned into ashes and desolation!
Concubine Zhao lingered on in the cold palace, perhaps just to survive until this moment, just to do this one thing: "Are we going to the capital in the next two days?"
"Empress, the Emperor hasn't come to see me for a while. I guess he's completely disappointed in me."
"I would like to ask for your help. When the princess arrives in Beijing, could you please pass a message to the emperor?"
"Just say that I am willing to help the emperor identify the eldest princess's crime!"
"I want to confess my crime, win back the people's hearts for him, and force Sister Sang to return to ancient times! As long as he can let me leave this damn place and treat my family well."
The moment these words fell.
Concubine Li's eyes lit up with joy.
And...Gu Qingrou's face turned stiff, and an indescribable panic surged in her heart.
Let, let Gu Sang go back to ancient times?
Does Concubine Zhao really have a way to force Gu Sang to come back?
