Peter the Great, upon hearing what the Queen had said, fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty is very intelligent," he said after a long silence.
"Let the Queen go back." He needs the Queen now and in the future.
When the news of the queen's release reached Barbara's ears, Alder was furious.
"What does it mean to put the Queen back? What about my sister?" He was furious that if she didn't die, it would be his sister who died!
Qin Yiyi sat at the table, tapping her fingers on it silently.
Alder was furious: "Why don't we just withdraw all our troops instead of helping Peter the Great!"
Barbara gave Ald a big slap: "What nonsense are you talking about? If we retreat now, everyone will die!"
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yiyi spoke.
"Peter the Great may want to appoint two queens."
What does this mean?
Barbara and Old both looked at Qin Yiyi.
Qin Yiyi said in a deep voice, "Peter the Great wants to keep both sides in check, so the empire probably has two queens."
"Is he afraid that the maternal relatives will become too powerful, so he wants to use the queen's family to restrict us?" Barbara immediately understood what he meant.
Qin Yiyi looked at Barbara and then at Older, who was still deep in thought and only knew how to work, and sighed, "They were born of the same mother, but the difference is indeed quite big!"
Barbara glanced at her younger brother.
"Alright, you don't need to stay here. Go out and gather some information. You don't need to do any thinking. Just do some physical work and run errands."
Olde: "..."
What kind of discrimination is this?
He's going to get angry! From body type discrimination to hair discrimination to brain discrimination!
Barbara looked at her brother: "Why aren't you moving? Are you standing here expecting me to give you a brain lesson? Do we have to explain everything to you individually? Aren't you tired?"
Old: "...Okay, I'm leaving!"
The world is vast, and there is bound to be a place for him!
The emperor's intentions are crystal clear: he wants the two sides to fight and he wants to benefit from it, while also maintaining his own political balance.
"Does he get all the good things in the world?" Barbara sneered.
"I've served him with all my heart, and I've long understood this scoundrel's thoughts. I just want to balance things out. Why should I be the one to benefit?"
Qin Yiyi looked at Barbara.
What do you want to do?
Barbara smiled slightly as she looked at her son.
"So what if there are two queens? The world will ultimately belong to my son." She kissed her sleeping son.
"All these years of hard work have been for my children, but I also need to have my own way of living, right?"
"Since Peter the Great already has an heir and is going to appoint two queens, what use is Peter the Great? Why not just hand over the empire to the two queens?"
Barbara is a real lunatic.
She actually had such a rebellious idea. Under what circumstances would the country be handed over to two queens? Naturally, it would be when the country has a young ruler and the queens assist the country.
This idea.
"This is crazy! I love it!" Qin Yiyi and Barbara both agreed on this crazy idea in the room.
"I believe the Queen would like it too, because... if she could die unexpectedly in this battle, why can't the Emperor die unexpectedly?"
The queen probably had no feelings for the emperor anymore.
Barbara invited the Queen to a meeting at the palace. The Queen was puzzled, but she was not allowed to refuse at this time. However, the Queen's going to Barbara's palace meant that she had bowed her head at this moment. In Peter the Great's eyes, this action was that the Queen took the initiative to befriend Barbara in order to keep her position.
He received a reply from the palace servants below, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Just two women." He was more concerned about the current situation on the battlefield!
When the Queen met Barbara, only Qin Yiyi, Barbara, and the Queen were in the room.
Barbara gave the Queen a deep bow.
"I'm asking you to come over now because I can't go to you on my own initiative. I hope you can understand that Peter is naturally suspicious."
The queen looked around. The doors and windows were closed, and the people outside were all her own. She couldn't understand why a mistress would call the emperor by his name like that.
"If someone with ulterior motives were to spread the word about you calling me by my name like that, it would be a serious offense. I don't think you're that stupid!"
"Your wealth and status are just around the corner, within easy reach. How can you speak so carelessly?"
Barbara smiled, realizing she was just testing the Queen, and stepped forward to take the Queen's hand.
"Sister, this is Earl Ye Qin's daughter, Miss Yiyi. I hope you can forgive me. I am not willing to die like this either, just like you are not willing!"
The Queen was born into a prominent family and dedicated her life to serving it. Naturally, she was unwilling to die like this. Barbara, on the other hand, rose from humble beginnings to become the heir to the empire and was even more unwilling to accept her fate. The Queen could understand these sentiments.
Women understand women best.
"But the Emperor either wants you dead or me dead. One is the Duke's mansion, where you have diligently managed the harem for him and whose family has supported him so much, and who rushed to the scene of this palace coup at the first moment. The other is the one who has borne him a child, yet he wants me to... Sister, why do women suffer so much?"
Barbara became so emotional that tears streamed down her face.
The Queen was speechless. Yes, why do women suffer so much in this world? She was full of knowledge and ambition that was no less than that of men. She could have taken over the family, but after her father had a son, he still made her marry the emperor. Why can women only sit in the back?
She didn't dislike Barbara. To be honest, Peter the Great had too many mistresses, and she was grateful to Barbara for not causing the palace coup that happened with the Flame Prince, as she gave birth to an heir for the empire. Even if she couldn't have children herself, the child would still be in her name. However, Barbara's connection with the Earl of Night Qin was simply because she didn't want to die either.
The queen went over to look at the baby still in swaddling clothes and felt a pang of envy.
"He's so handsome! Look at his little face. It's obvious you had a good pregnancy and ate well. That's why he's so fair and clean-cut. He looks just like you!" Unlike that smelly man.
"How wonderful, you still have a child!" It's a thought, and also a hope.
Barbara walked up to the Queen.
"Sister, this child is mine. If you don't mind, then this child is yours too!"
"This child may have come at the perfect time. From now on, he will be my and my sister's child!"
The Queen looked at Barbara, whose dark eyes seemed to hold some terrible thoughts.
"From now on, my sister and I will tutor the child together. It will be a bit more work for my sister. I wonder if she would be willing?"
