Hua Yeshuang gave up struggling; the victor is king, the loser is villain. He gave a bitter smile, perhaps his fate was already sealed, and he would be locked up here like this. He lowered his head and said, "I have no other wish in this life, only that Your Majesty treats the people of Li Kingdom and my younger brother kindly."
At that moment, he suddenly felt that everything Lu Qingyan had done was just to humiliate him. But she was already an empress; what kind of man couldn't she have? Why did she have to pick a fight with him here?
Lu Qingyan kissed his cool lips and said in confusion, "Why do you think like that, sir? Can't you see my true feelings? I am willing to keep you here because I truly love you."
"Sir, you're currently confined to the palace and haven't received any news from the outside world for quite some time, have you?" Lu Qingyan tilted her head halfway through her sentence: "Does sir know that the entire army of the Li Kingdom has surrendered, bowed down, and returned to their territory?"
Hua Yeshuang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been somewhat worried after learning that Lu Qingyan had seen through all his plans, but he was also relieved to know that the soldiers were unharmed. He wasn't completely indifferent to Lu Qingyan, but compared to his own ambitions, nothing was worth sacrificing.
Unfortunately, he ended up in this situation, imprisoned in this small, dark room.
Hua Yeshuang sighed, seemingly resigned to his fate. In truth, if he could spend his whole life with Lu Qingyan like this, he wouldn't get tired of it.
He remembered the military tally that Lu Qingyan had mentioned before and asked her, "Is that military tally in your possession?"
The Li Kingdom wouldn't surrender without a reason; it must have encountered a formidable enemy to back down. He knew that the Li Kingdom's army had rarely encountered any stubborn resistance along the way, and the only force capable of resisting them—the semi-hidden Qianhua Kingdom's army—remained indifferent because the military tally had not yet appeared.
The army that left the country has already suffered a setback, which must be the result of the two armies clashing after the military tally appeared.
Lu Qingyan squinted and nodded, acknowledging his guess.
However, Hua Yeshuang didn't know that he was only half right. The reason why Li Kingdom withdrew its troops was not only because of the defeat in the war, but also because... the emperor was lost!
The messenger from the Kingdom of Thousand Flowers shamelessly told them, "Your emperor and the Night King are both in our hands. If you don't want them to suffer any losses, don't make any rash moves. Our Emperor is very fond of your emperor and intends to make him the Phoenix King."
So the result of this war was that, as they fought, they ended up becoming in-laws?
What if I have to leave the country? I have no choice but to leave.
No one knows what happened, but their country had a difficult time producing offspring; the royal family always had only one son per line. Finally, in this generation, they had an emperor and a prince, who were twins! The whole country was overjoyed. But now they've both been captured by the emperor of the Thousand Flowers Kingdom. What hope do they have left?
So, after all the planning he had done for so many years, wanting to swallow the Thousand Flower Kingdom whole, his kingdom ended up being swallowed up by the Thousand Flower Kingdom.
Only these four words echoed in Hua Yeshuang's mind: All that effort for nothing!
That's bad enough, but poor little brother Hua Yeyu is probably still locked up somewhere. But at least they're so close to Lu Qingyan, they shouldn't suffer any real hardship, right?
Hua Yeshuang was very open-minded, but she didn't know that her younger brother was now living in dire straits, having become a labor force in the palace.
Actually, it wasn't all for nothing, since he did gain a fierce wife.
However, according to the customs of their Thousand Flower Kingdom, it seems that she is his wife.
Uh, does he want to abduct people back to Liguo?
