Queen Shang was shocked.
Her eyes were fixed on the fat man, wide open, and the fat man felt nervous, and quickly said: "Ah, ha, the sun is nice today..."
"Shut up!"
The fat man quickly shut his mouth, feeling as aggrieved as a young wife.
Queen Shang bit her lip and suddenly said with resentment, "If you had such courage back then, you wouldn't have ended up like this today."
The fat man's eyes lit up, and he crossed his legs on the chair again. He leaned forward and asked expectantly, "Now that I have the courage, is it too late?"
Queen Shang was in a terrible state. "I'm not a replacement for Xu Yunqing! I'm the Queen of the Yu Dynasty now! Please respect me a little!"
"I've always respected you! Even when I was a minor official, I told him over and over again that your father-in-law wasn't great, but your mother-in-law was truly wonderful... Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can ask the minor official yourself. I really told him that, I swear to God!"
The fat man looked righteous, but Queen Shang felt that he was not only fat but also had water in his brain.
"That's not what I meant..."
"So what do you mean? Anyway, no matter before or now, I respect you. If you say not to kill Yu Baibai, then I won't do it. Isn't this just respecting your opinion?"
Queen Shang felt that she couldn't stay with this fat man for any longer and had to finish her business and leave.
"Alright, let's get down to business now. My humble servant is fine. I just wanted to ask you, when are you planning to withdraw your troops?"
"You..." The fat man swayed on the chair. "Yu Baibai wanted to kill me, but now that he can't, he doesn't dare to come to see me in person, fearing that I'll kill him with a single blow. Even if I asked you to come, you shouldn't have come."
The fat man paused, his body stopped shaking, his eyes sparkling, "But I also hope you can come. I think I'll want to chop Yu Baibai with a knife after just a few words, but you're different. I really want to see you..."
"Shut up!"
Queen Shang felt suffocated when talking to the fat man. When did this guy become so out of control?
I wasn’t like this before!
He is still an emperor, but he doesn't look like an emperor at all, he is just a gangster!
As expected, Mr. Fu shut up obediently, but his little eyes were still sparkling, as if he was expecting something.
Queen Shang took another deep breath and tried to keep her tone steady:
"I once said that the Yu Dynasty was where he was born and raised. Your Majesty is indeed wrong in this matter. I am fine now. Do you really want to start a war?"
“…”
"If we really want to fight, I will do as you wish. But let me put it this way: even though I'm the Queen, I still can't guarantee that His Majesty will do anything irrational to my family..."
"I know Zhou Tongtong took people to Jinling. Do you think he could take so many people away without anyone noticing?
That's Jinling! It's the power center of the Yu Dynasty! Besides, even if they can leave, there are hundreds of people in the Yan Mansion, and there are also hundreds of people in the Dong Mansion. There are so many children of the Yan and Dong Mansions serving as officials in the court. You can ignore their lives, but can a small official do the same? "
“…”
"Are you mute? Why don't you say something?"
The fat man looked aggrieved, "Didn't you tell me to shut up?"
Queen Shang was so angry that she wanted to kill the fat man in front of her.
"You should have said it, but you insisted on saying it. Now tell me."
The fat man suddenly laughed brightly, his face shining, his small eyes narrowed into slits, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, can we meet without arguing and chat about love? Oh, and I brought some wine, shall we have a drink?"
"Wu! Da! Lang!"
"ah?"
Empress Shang's eyes were almost blazing with anger. "Now, let me ask you one question: are you going to withdraw these troops or not?"
Wu Dalang shuddered. "Retreat, retreat, retreat! Isn't it just a withdrawal? It's just a matter of a word. Why are you so angry? Look at the scenery of this border city. Although it's not as delicate as that of Jinling City, it has a kind of..."
"Shut up!"
Official Fu shut his mouth again, sat upright, and looked honest.
Queen Shang's chest was rising and falling, and the fat man's eyes fell on the rise and fall. He suddenly swallowed his saliva, grinned and laughed foolishly.
"I was really stupid back then!"
"You...you close your eyes!"
Official Fu closed his eyes again, but then opened his mouth again: "Ruoshui... Actually, this is all my fault. I know you haven't been happy these years. You don't really like flowers, let alone growing them. It's just that you were lonely in the harem, so you looked for those things to pass the time."
The fat man's tone suddenly became very gentle and soft. He closed his eyes and spoke slowly. To Queen Shang's ears, it was as if a spring breeze had blown away the dust of the past.
"I was clueless back then, practicing martial arts until I became stupid. Now I understand why Xiaoguan didn't like martial arts. I shouldn't have let a tree block my eyes and prevent me from seeing the more beautiful scenery around me."
"Ruoshui, actually, in the eighth year of the Xuanli reign, you came to Linjiang, to Shanglinzhou, where Prince Xian lived. I secretly went over to watch you for the night... I didn't see you bathing."
Empress Shang blushed, but this time she wasn't angry. "Don't say anymore. Let bygones be bygones. I knew you were suffering in Linjiang, so I asked you to take five concubines, didn't I? Okay, issue an imperial decree to withdraw the troops. I have to go back tomorrow."
"How about... going to Guanyun City to take a look?"
"I won't go now. I'll go after I ascend the throne."
Officer Fu suddenly leaned over, opened his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Won't you give me a chance?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. What were you doing before? I'm already a wife and a mother now. Don't ruin my reputation!"
"Oh..." The fat man sat up straight, and the vulgarity on his face disappeared.
He said seriously, "Let's talk business now. Yu Baibai almost killed me. He must pay the price!"
Empress Shang was startled. "Wu Dalang, you go back on your word. Are you still a man?"
"I didn't! You can withdraw your troops, but the border towns here, and the area north of Xinzhou City in the north of the Yu Dynasty, will be ceded to the Wu Dynasty. Otherwise... I will have to fight a war with Yu for nothing!"
"Aren't you afraid that he will kill all of my relatives?"
"He dares! Believe it or not, I will ask my senior brother to send all the Saints of Wu Dynasty to Yu Dynasty and kill Yu Baibai in one fell swoop."
"Hehe..." The fat man suddenly laughed obscenely again, "Kill Yu Baibai, and I'll take you back!"
Queen Shang was furious, "You fat bastard, you are shameless!"
"I used to pretend to be a good person, but now I suddenly realize that it's better to be a little shameless!"
