Wu Zhou.
The Golden Throne Hall.
"What did you say!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou flew into a rage. She stood up abruptly, a raging fire burning in her eyes, and glared fiercely at the messenger kneeling below.
"Tell me, what exactly were you just saying!"
Her furious voice exploded throughout the Golden Throne Hall!
The civil and military officials bowed their heads, trembling with fear, cold sweat rolling down their foreheads.
The messenger kowtowed in terror.
"To answer Your Majesty, an urgent dispatch from the front line reports that Eunuch Wang was killed by Qin Xiao. Not only that, but Qin Xiao also... also..."
"Also what! Speak, I absolve you of any crime!" the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou growled in a deep voice.
The messenger trembled and said, "The Prince of Yan has acknowledged Qin Xiao as his adoptive father. They have launched a counterattack against Wu Zhou, calling Your Majesty... you, a treasonous usurper!"
The Golden Throne Hall fell deathly silent for a moment.
The civil and military officials all widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the messenger.
In that instant, it felt as if their minds had been blown apart.
Everyone's face was filled with horror, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Their recent campaign had not only failed to gain them a justified cause.
Instead, it played right into Qin Xiao's hands, giving him an excuse to attack them.
It was a complete disaster, suffering heavy losses on all fronts.
"Damn it! Qin Xiao! You will die a horrible death!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou was enraged, her eyes bloodshot, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.
She violently overturned the dragon desk in front of her.
With a loud crash!
The brushes, ink, and paper on the desk were all swept onto the floor, scattering in a complete mess.
"I am the dignified Emperor, yet I have now become a treasonous usurper in Qin Xiao's mouth!"
"This Qin Xiao really has a lot of nerve."
"I want him dead! I will absolutely not let him off! I will have him subjected to the death of a thousand cuts!!"
Her furious roars echoed throughout the hall.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou was so angry that she trembled all over, her breathing rapid, a flush appearing on her snow-white skin.
She looked at the messenger kneeling below, cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Guards, drag this useless trash down and execute him!"
The messenger looked up, his face full of bewilderment.
Wait, didn't she just say she absolved me of any crime?
Why was he being taken out to be killed now?
"Your Majesty, please don't! You promised to absolve me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was forcefully dragged away by the surrounding imperial guards.
In the imperial court, the civil and military officials were all furious.
They hated Qin Xiao's actions to the core.
To actually use the bloodline of Li Tang to threaten them.
This move had directly and forcefully checkmated Wu Zhou.
Some were genuinely enraged, but many more were just pretending to be.
A hint of joy flashed in the depths of these people's eyes.
What had they just heard?
The only remaining bloodline of Li Tang was still alive!
Not only that, but he was going to counterattack Wu Zhou!
Although they were all officials of Wu Zhou, they were also former ministers of Li Tang.
Compared to the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou ruling the world, they much preferred that the bloodline of Li Tang truly reign over the empire.
As for the Prince of Yan acknowledging Qin Xiao as his adoptive father, this was a trivial matter to them.
On the contrary, they admired the Prince of Yan's ability to yield and adapt.
Even after going to such a dangerous place as Great Qin, he managed to survive unscathed.
Not only that, but he also gained Qin Xiao's help to lead an army in a counterattack against Wu Zhou.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou scanned the civil and military officials, her eyes growing increasingly cold.
She noticed that these officials seemed different from before.
Although they were still respectful to her.
The meaning in their eyes had changed!
It was as if she were no longer the emperor.
But rather an outsider.
This alienated attitude made her burn with anger.
"The remnants of Li Tang! I will definitely annihilate them!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou's eyes were icy, killing intent boiling in her heart as she clenched her fists tightly.
In her eyes, at this moment, Qin Xiao and the remnants of Li Tang were already her most dangerous mortal enemies.
If they were not eliminated, she would have no peace sleeping or eating!
"Pass my order, mobilize a million-strong army. I will personally lead the troops to slay Qin Xiao!" the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou said in a deep voice.
Instantly, the Golden Throne Hall erupted into an uproar.
The civil and military officials became restless.
They exchanged glances, joy flashing in their eyes, and hastily stepped forward to speak in unison.
"We obey Your Majesty's command!"
Excellent!
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou had finally made up her mind.
This way, when the time came for them to defect and join the Prince of Yan, they might even seize the opportunity to capture the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou.
This thought flashed through everyone's minds.
Although it was just a fleeting thought, they were almost too excited to control themselves.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou took all of this in, a cold sneer curving the corners of her mouth.
She was not a fool.
She naturally knew that there were former ministers of Li Tang within the court.
"Wait a moment!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou smiled, looking down at the crowd with a playful expression.
"I have changed my mind."
The crowd was at a loss, freezing in place one after another.
"Your Majesty, this is an attack on Qin Xiao, we must put forth all our efforts!"
"With Your Majesty commanding at the front lines, we can definitely annihilate Qin Xiao!"
A civil official stepped forward and spoke with absolute certainty.
With his hands behind his back, he acted as if he had a well-thought-out plan.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou wore a cold sneer.
She could finally see it; this group of people was eager for her to go to the front lines.
In the past, they would say it was dangerous for her to go to the front, coaxing and advising her not to.
Now, they had suddenly changed their tune. All of this explained the problem.
"I have decided. As an emperor, I should sit at the center and command all directions. How can I easily go to the front lines."
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou looked at everyone with a half-smile.
The civil and military officials were all stunned.
Their hearts skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose.
"Pass my order. Mobilize the provisions and armaments for a million-strong army, and send them to the three great royal courts of the Mobei grasslands!"
"I want them to deal with Qin Xiao. I will have them annihilate Great Qin!"
As soon as these words came out.
The civil and military officials of the entire court were completely dumbfounded.
Oh no.
This female emperor has actually grown a brain.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou smiled. Seeing the deflated looks on the faces of everyone in the court, she felt in an excellent mood.
As expected.
As long as one is smart enough, nothing is a problem!
However, right at this moment.
Prime Minister Di Qingyun stepped forward, his brows furrowed tightly, and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
"The people of the grasslands have the ambitions of wolves and are best at taking advantage of a crisis. Once this precedent is set, they will demand exorbitant prices next!"
"We absolutely must not rear a tiger that will cause trouble later!"
"I know what I am doing!" The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou scoffed, looking down with extreme confidence in her tone.
Di Qingyun wanted to say more.
But he was stopped by the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou waving her hand.
"My mind is made up, there is no need to say more."
Di Qingyun looked at the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou, his heart filled with extreme complexity.
The current situation in the court was treacherous and unpredictable.
With a slight misstep, the entire Great Zhou would be doomed beyond redemption!
Especially since Qin Xiao held the Prince of Yan as a trump card.
Once played, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But, they could not let the grassland people pass through the borders either.
If they entered through the borders of Wu Zhou and something went wrong, they would likely turn around and bite Wu Zhou!
By then, the entire border of Wu Zhou would fall in an instant!
Di Qingyun sighed heavily, his eyes turning ashen. His straight back hunched over, making him appear utterly dejected.
He was loyal to the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou.
The two of them considered each other confidants.
But he never expected that today, he would watch helplessly as Wu Zhou stepped toward the abyss.
And he was powerless to stop it!
