Although Barbara gave birth to his only son, he had already issued a decree to make Barbara his queen and his young son the first in line to the throne amidst his busy schedule. He did not want to do it so soon, but the queen reminded him that on the battlefield, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, having a successor to the throne would be the greatest encouragement to these soldiers.
It must be said that Barbara understood him in bed, and the Queen understood him politically. He had no regrets in having these two beautiful women in his life.
From now on, Barbara will no longer be needed politically; the Queen will take charge. However, considering that Barbara gave birth to a son, he is willing to give her a position, since she still has the power of Earl Ye Qin behind her. In this battle, Earl Ye Qin's army is definitely capable of taking on two opponents at once. Although only 20,000 troops came, not the main force, they still suppressed the 50,000 Flame Army step by step.
"Your Majesty," the Queen said.
Peter the Great looked at the Queen, somewhat puzzled.
"What are you trying to say?"
The queen smiled slightly, watching the emperor remove his armor and prepare to put on his new battle robe. She held it in her hand, not intending to hand it over.
"Your Majesty, a new era is about to begin."
Peter the Great was puzzled, but then smiled.
"I know I have already issued the decree and announced the heir. You must be very panicked, but rest assured, you will definitely have a place in the palace!"
He was thinking about what to say...
An arrow struck Peter the Great directly in the heart, piercing through it, and there was no way to save him.
"Enemy attack!"
Peter the Great was killed by an arrow, and the surrounding trumpets began to blare.
Various voices expressed panic.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Protect the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is no longer breathing!"
Who exactly harmed the Emperor?!
The queen, abandoning her previous composure, gripped her armor and looked at the emperor: "The emperor is gone. In this time of war and chaos, we should enthrone a new emperor!"
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day; without a ruler, chaos will ensue! Moreover, this is the time of the Flame Prince's rebellion. The Flame Prince launched a sneak attack and shot the Emperor, a capital offense! The young ruler has been established, so he should be made king!"
After saying this, she supported the emperor's body and whispered in Peter the Great's ear, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of my position in the palace. I am telling you that a new era has arrived, that is, the era of women in power has arrived."
Why should the world belong to men?
Why can a man be surrounded by beautiful wives, with a stable home life and extramarital affairs?
Why should men with power and influence be allowed to have affairs?
As a woman, if you hold power, you should also enjoy everything that men have enjoyed!
Power is blinding; the era of male dominance is over, now it's women's time to rule...
The eunuch beside her could see clearly that the desire in the Queen's eyes was about to burst forth, but she still managed to restrain herself very well; women are the best at self-control.
"Your Majesty, please accept our condolences. His Majesty has just been attacked by villains, and we need Your Majesty's presence to stabilize the situation!" The eunuch, as expected of the most perceptive person in the palace, immediately called for the Queen to take charge without the Queen needing to say a word.
"Immediately inform Queen Barbara to bring the young prince and we will carry the Emperor back!"
"The young master has just been born and certainly cannot come to the front lines! Rest assured, we will take care of everything!"
A qualified eunuch is one who can interpret the Queen's words correctly and then repeat them to the outside world in simple terms so that everyone can understand. But how could the Emperor have died so suddenly from an arrow wound?
"I failed in my duty to protect His Majesty, resulting in His Majesty's death by arrow. I deserve to die!"
It wasn't just the leader who knelt down; a whole group of people did too. Peter the Great had died right under their noses—it was a slap in the face to them.
Whether it's a capital offense or not depends on how the queen decides.
The Queen knew very well that if she spoke now, these people would become her loyal followers in the future.
"Now is the time of war, and everyone needs to unite. This is a special time, and you need to charge into battle. However, since the Emperor died under your protection, you can be spared the death penalty but not escape punishment. So, you will be punished... to be sent to the front line of the Qin army and become a suicide squad!"
It may seem like a death sentence, but in reality, anyone with decent skills can survive. This is the Qin army, the Qin army that can fight against many enemies. Having Qin soldiers assisting from behind greatly increases the survival rate.
Moreover, there was no penalty for surviving, which was practically the same as no punishment. If he joined the Qin army and rendered meritorious service, he could atone for his mistake and perhaps...
The tour leader made eye contact with the queen and immediately lowered his head.
"This sinful subject will henceforth exert all his strength to atone for his crimes, to serve the Queen and the Empire!"
First loyal to the Queen, then loyal to the Empire. The Queen easily won over a group of people on the front lines so they would work for her. There are at least several thousand people guarding the palace.
"The eunuch summons you; change the person!"
This group of people had to step down, and the next group came up; history always repeats itself.
The news that Peter the Great had died on the front lines spread throughout the court.
Barbara stood at the window, but didn't open it, afraid that the spring breeze, still carrying a bit of chill, would blow on her newborn child.
She recovered well after giving birth. The most important thing for a woman during her postpartum period is to be happy. Now she is happy every day because she is in a good mood, which is very helpful for her postpartum recovery.
Nothing is more important than being happy.
Peter the Great is gone, and the world rightfully belongs to her children.
Outside the palace, the Qin family members who had rushed over quickly engaged in battle with the Flame Prince. They pressed forward relentlessly, ruthlessly killing the Flame Prince's men until they were left in tears.
After just one round of contact, the Flame Legion members scattered in all directions. Not only were they taking down their opponents one by one with their red-tasseled spears, but even after the spearheads were knocked away, Qin Feifei wielded the spear shafts with incredible skill, continuing to strike without hesitation.
"His Majesty has fallen in battle!"
When the news from the palace reached the outside world, everyone was stunned.
"His Majesty has died in battle, and the country is now ruled by a young ruler. The two queens are now serving as regents. The Earl of Ye Qin has been renamed the Duke of Ye Qin, and the Earl of Ye Qin's third daughter, Qin Yiyi, has been renamed the Earl of Ye Lan. The Flame Prince has been executed!"
Although Prince Flame amassed 100,000 troops to bombard and attack the royal city, he failed to even penetrate the palace. How did His Majesty die in battle? Although it was widely reported that His Majesty was fighting on the front lines, anyone with a clear head knows that a ruler of a country cannot possibly be on the front lines; he must be fighting on the third front. How did His Majesty perish?
But now the situation is settled. Peter the Great is dead, and the young ruler of the country is only a few days old. There are two queens in the country.
However, these are things that the Qin family can no longer control.
"What, Father? What did you do to get promoted? And my sister became an earl? What happened?"
