He appointed the crown prince and left a will to restrain the Yuan family's daughter...
With his last breath, Emperor Qing arranged everything he could think of.
Then, he took Concubine Dong's hand and forced her to swear: "You are not allowed to commit suicide! You must live to be the empress dowager and suppress the Yuan family women in the palace!"
Concubine Dong: ...Hey! It's done!
She originally thought that she would have to take poison again.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing believed in himself so quickly.
Well, try not to drink the poisoned wine if you can.
Since her son gave her a magical pill, she has had a physical constitution that is "immune to all poisons."
However, poison wine is different from the medicine we drink every day.
Concubine Dong would rather live to see her son rule the world.
"...Your Majesty! I, I—"
Kneeling in front of the bed, Concubine Dong tightly grasped the small medicine bottle.
She was in a dilemma and she had no will to live at all.
"Cough! Cough cough~~"
Emperor Qing spat out another mouthful of blood, and Tong Kongdu began to lose consciousness.
He used up his last bit of strength and roared, "Live! Unify the world!"
"...Woo woo, I will obey you! Dong Lang will also remember your last wish!"
Emperor Qing then let go of his hand and passed away.
The court officials kneeling behind Concubine Dong all fell to the ground and cried.
Concubine Dong fainted immediately.
After waking up, she also acted like a miserable woman who said, "I don't believe that His Majesty will not leave me."
When the court officials saw such a love-brained man, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no threat from the Lu family in the Qing Dynasty!
The court officials began to suggest withdrawing the troops and escorting Emperor Qing's coffin back to the capital.
Concubine Dong, despite her frail body, cried out, "No! Your Majesty is determined to unify the world!"
"Now that the southern expedition is going smoothly and Feng Dynasty is within our grasp, how can we give up so easily?"
The court officials tried to reason with Concubine Dong.
But then they found that Concubine Dong, who only had her husband in her mind, could not make sense at all.
Love-brained! Damn it!
Unfortunately, the court officials were helpless against a love-minded woman like Concubine Dong.
She was the empress dowager appointed by the late emperor, and her son was about to become the new emperor.
She has the imperial seal and the will in her hands!
The key is that she can cry a lot.
It's not the kind of arrogant and aggressive type, but the kind that makes her faint from crying at the slightest provocation.
It was the first time for the court officials to encounter such a magical woman, and they were all in disarray.
We seem to be the villains who oppress orphans and widows.
It is obvious that they are doing this for the celebration of the dynasty and for the stability of the world.
How, how did he become a bad guy with such heinous crimes?
Of course, not all courtiers supported the retreat.
The news of Emperor Qing's death did not spread. Not only the ordinary soldiers, but even the middle and high-ranking generals who were charging at the river bank were unaware of it.
They were fighting desperately and were about to successfully cross the river.
If such a fierce attack is interrupted suddenly, it will not only affect oneself, but also give Feng Chao the opportunity to counterattack.
In war, what matters is momentum.
Once the morale is weakened and the army is in chaos, it will be difficult for the Qing Dynasty army to leave smoothly.
If things go wrong, the cities of Feng Dynasty that were previously annexed will be taken back by Feng Dynasty.
The good situation is ruined in an instant!
The generals tried their best to say that the army could cross the river in just three to five days.
In another half month, they will be able to capture the capital of Feng Dynasty.
Court officials: ...There is no other way, just wait!
Half a month later, before the capital was captured, Gu Qingcheng led 30,000 cavalrymen and rushed thousands of miles to the riverside.
