The old minister sighed without saying anything, and couldn't help but think of the situation when the late emperor was alive. If he were still alive, he would never let the Kingdom of Jin fall into such a state.
A few days later, before any conclusion was reached, the news that the former Crown Prince of Yan State had become the Emperor of Lan State had spread throughout Yuejiang.
In a simple house on the outskirts of the city, Liu Xin heard people talking about this matter, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
"He is actually still alive and has become the founding emperor of Lan Country. Then Liu Yutong must be the queen now?" She couldn't help but feel jealous: "How can she deserve such a good fortune? I am a time traveler and the protagonist of this world. I am worthy of this supreme status."
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "If I had known that he had such a good fortune, why would I have chosen a distant place? It's a pity that I can't stand the bitter cold of exile, otherwise the position of queen would be mine."
She looked at her own reflection by the river. She was wearing gray and white clothes and looked haggard, just like a middle-aged woman. Liu Qing had been depressed over the years because of being demoted repeatedly. Three years ago, he fell into the river and died because of drunkenness. She was like a widow. Fortunately, she still had her dowry, so she bought a house in the suburbs of the city and lived with her son.
She remembered how he once looked at her lovingly, and even ignored Liu Yutong for her. Wishful thoughts slowly welled up in her mind.
Maybe it’s not too late now?

"In just three days, we've lost five cities! You're all a bunch of rubbish! I'm going to kill you all!"
In the council hall, the Emperor of Jin Kingdom threw eight hundred arrows onto the military officer. The military officer hurriedly took the memorial and knelt on the ground, looking a little terrified.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, but if the Ministry of Revenue had not delayed allocating military funds, causing the army to lose morale, we would not have been defeated like this."
The Minister of Revenue immediately knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty and there is nothing I can do."
The Emperor of Jin State looked at a group of ministers blaming each other, veins popped out on his forehead, and he slammed the table.
"Okay, let's put these things aside for now. What I want to know now is the peace talks. What if they ask for too much?"
The old minister cupped his hands and said, "I think that since the harem of the Emperor of Lan is empty, can we arrange for the Lord to marry into the harem? If the Lord can give birth to a child from the harem, the peace between the two countries will be more stable and powerful."
Now, everyone quieted down. If this method could be implemented, there would not be any need to worry about wasting a lot of money. Even the emperor fell silent.
"Lan Country may not be willing, right?"
Some people wondered why Lan State, which was clearly in an advantageous position, would give up attacking Jin State for the sake of a marriage alliance?
Suddenly, the chief eunuch came in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there is a woman who claims to have a past with the Emperor of Lan Country. Lord An Yun has made a big fuss about this. Lord An Yun, thinking about the situation in Jin Country, specifically asked me to tell Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Jin State immediately thought that this person was a liar, but to be on the safe side, he decided to summon her to meet her.
After some dressing up, Liu Xin regained some of her beauty. She was originally destined to be the heroine, with excellent looks. At least after some careful work and wearing gorgeous clothes, she looked quite charming and beautiful.
The Emperor of Jin State was a lustful and extravagant man. When he saw Liu Xin, there was a flash of amazement in his eyes and his lustful gaze fell on her.
Instead of dodging, Liu Xin showed a few strange expressions.
