Prince Flame had commanded the Imperial Guard for many years and naturally had his own confidants. Now, because of a single word from Peter the Great, he had relinquished his position. However, some of his confidants were still openly and secretly hindering the eldest son. If the eldest son wanted to control this force, he could only delegate power to newcomers. This led to the newcomers siding with the eldest son, but they were no match for the power of Prince Flame's confidants who had been cultivating the force for many years.
Qin Yiyi looked at the eldest son of the Princess Consort, Toronto, who was holding a list of the heads of various positions under the Commander of the Imperial Guard.
"The prince has been in power for so many years, so naturally he has loyal subordinates. However, there are also subordinates of these subordinates who are capable but suppressed. If you transfer these capable but suppressed people to be the superiors of these people, someone will naturally take care of them for you. Once they have dealt with the other party, they will automatically stand on your side!"
Toronto slammed his fist on the table.
"That's what I think too, but, but which of those people doesn't have military merits? If I were to promote them out of turn, it would be breaking the rules."
"Rules? Rules are made by people. Are you now bound by the rules set in the past? The old rules were set by Prince Flame because he was the commander of the Imperial Guard. Now you are the commander of the Imperial Guard, so your words are the rules!"
Qin Yiyi looked at Toronto, no wonder she hadn't won against the younger one all these years.
"Barbara is about to give birth. If she acts cute towards Peter now, the Emperor won't say a word. And with the Princess Consort always by her side, is the Emperor's son more important than those few Imperial Guards that the Flame Prince threw out to cause trouble?" Doesn't the Emperor have a scale in his heart? Which is more important?
"Besides, if you can't even handle this problem properly and the Emperor has to personally resolve it, how can you be a commander of an army, let alone inherit your father's title?"
Qin Yiyi's words were a wake-up call for Toronto. If he couldn't resolve this matter in a short time, what would the Emperor think? Wouldn't his father look down on him even more?
"I'll go to the military camp to handle this matter right away. Don't worry, I'm not alone now. I have the Emperor's backing. Changing a few regulations and getting rid of a few people are no big deal!" Could a commander of the Imperial Guard be threatened by his own people?
Looking at the rising Toronto, Qin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. If the Imperial Guards were under the control of the Prince at this time, wouldn't it be easy for the Prince to rebel? Not to mention that he also has 50,000 Flame Army soldiers who can reach the territory within three days.
Qin Yiyi first met with the Princess and Toronto outside the palace, and then immediately went into the palace. Along the way, she observed the people and things around her. There were no troops guarding Barbara's vicinity. Of course, there should be one or two secret guards nearby.
She came under the guise of Olde and is related to Barbara. Whether this fake relationship can become a real one depends on what Barbara does this time.
Barbara looked at Qin Yiyi, asked the others to leave, and handed Qin Yiyi a note.
"The information is all here."
****
That day, just as dawn was breaking...
Sid, far away in the burial ground, received Qin Yiyi's message, while in the palace, Barbara had already begun to feel the baby move, and she held Qin Yiyi's hand tightly.
"Quickly, let the princess in!"
"Don't worry, I'll call someone right away."
Outside, the princess came in first and took Barbara's hand.
"Don't be nervous, the medical team is on standby at any time!"
The immediate priority was to get Barbara, whose water had broken, into a wheelchair and push her out, but Ald rushed in: "We can't go out! There are troops fighting the Imperial Guards outside!"
"What!" Upon hearing this news, Barbara's stomach clenched, and she became even more worried.
Qin Yiyi stroked Da Bai, and the little white tiger in her arms transformed into a large white tiger, blocking the passage outside.
"Hurry up and let her give birth here. Don't let her go out. The Princess Consort will take care of it."
“The royal city has 30,000 imperial guards. With something like this happening, Peter the Great’s secret guards and personal guards will also come out. They won’t be able to defeat them in a short time. Besides, it’s not even certain whether they can get through the city gates. Take this opportunity to give birth to the child. You’re young and healthy, so you’ll definitely give birth quickly. The princess also has a spatial loop on her, so she has all the basic necessities with her. The conditions are a bit difficult, but you can overcome them. After giving birth, wealth and honor will come in the future!”
Qin Yiyi's words undoubtedly gave her the greatest motivation; once born, wealth and glory would be right behind her! Barbara had a white towel stuffed into her mouth, which she bit down on tightly.
"Push harder!" The princess dared not carry the child; she had to give birth to this child now. If something happened to Peter the Great's only son now, everything would truly be lost.
Her son is fighting a bloody battle outside, and she is fighting a battle too!
She was the only doctor in the room, and besides, she wasn't a doctor in that field, so she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in this emergency.
Qin Yiyi walked out the door and looked at the guards outside the palace. She then looked at Alder.
"Tell me in detail what's going on outside, but keep your voice down so as not to disturb your sister."
Old realized he had just misspoke and was genuinely shocked. He stammered and spoke incoherently.
"Fighting has broken out outside. Apparently, the Flame Army has arrived. Peter the Great is already on the platform, but he has sent a troop of his personal guards this way. They should be here soon!"
The Flame Legion has arrived. How could they have arrived so quickly? She had thought that the Flame Prince would hesitate after the Emperor left, and that he might even rebel. But she hadn't expected that he would do this so quickly. However, after this incident, Emperor Peter would definitely be determined to eliminate the Flame Prince.
He sent his own younger brother on his way.
“Miss Yiyi, there are 50,000 Flame Army soldiers outside. Not to mention that the Imperial Guard only has 30,000, and the Imperial Guard has not fought in recent years. How can they compare to the Flame Army that is fighting in the Misty City?”
"What, is the Flame Army that powerful?" Qin Yiyi touched her wristband and looked towards the outer edge of the corridor, where there was an open space.
"The Flame Army is one of the top ten legions in the empire, and its combat power should not be underestimated. In addition, the Flame Prince has always equipped the Flame Army with very powerful equipment, so if other armies do not come to our aid, I'm afraid we will have a hard time winning against the Flame Army."
After he finished speaking, Olde's eyes lit up.
"Peter the Great must have mobilized troops from the surrounding areas to support the palace. If we just hold out for two or three days, the Flame Army will surely be defeated!"
Qin Yiyi shook her head.
"The Flame Prince has always appeared before everyone as the crown prince. He must have many supporters. Now that he has the upper hand, these supporters will definitely help him. How could it be our turn!"
"This is a high-stakes gamble. If we win, our family will prosper for a hundred years."
