The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Chapter 373: King Ling's Expedition to Liuli Country

The emperor turned and left with the slap mark on his face.

The Queen ignored him and just threw herself on the Princess and cried.

Zuo Zixuan sighed. She didn’t have any children before, so she couldn’t understand the pain that the queen was feeling.

Now that I have a daughter myself, I understand the Queen's feelings at this moment.

"Mother, please go to the next room and rest first.

I will treat my eldest sister right away.

One minute later, my eldest sister's life would be in greater danger."

The queen turned around and held Zuo Zixuan's hand, "Xuanxuan, Queen Mother begs you to save her.

Even if she becomes disabled in the future, please save her life no matter what."

Zuo Zixuan held the Queen's hand and patted it, "Mother, don't worry, I will do my best to save my elder sister."

With tears in her eyes, the queen nodded and walked out of the room reluctantly.

"What? You killed Emperor Liuli? How dare you be so bold?" Emperor Daman pointed at King Ling's nose and scolded.

"That old pervert, shouldn't he die?" King Ling gritted his teeth and said nothing. The Queen opened the door and said angrily.

"What qualifications do you have to blame others? This is all your fault. If anything happens to my Qiao Er, I will fight you."

The emperor knew that he was in the wrong in this matter, and he did not dare to confront the queen head-on, so he lowered his voice unconsciously and said:

"Queen, this is a matter of great importance, concerning the war between our two countries.

Could you please stop being unreasonable?"

"Father, I request to take the initiative to declare war on Liuli Country.

Originally, it was because our princess married into an alliance with them that their annual tribute was exempted.

Instead of being grateful, they humiliated our princess.

This justice must be sought.”

The Spirit King stood up and said with gritted teeth.

The emperor wanted to say something, but when he saw the queen's bloodshot eyes and thought of the eldest princess's rotten body, he couldn't say no.

"We will discuss this matter in court later. Now let's rescue your elder sister first."

The emperor's appearance was defined as a coward in the eyes of his sons.

People are shitting on your face, and you are still considering diplomatic relations between the two countries?

The emperor himself seemed to vaguely feel that his majestic image in the eyes of his sons had collapsed.

It seems that he must do something to repair his image.

An hour later, the door of the wing room opened and Zuo Zixuan walked out.

"Everyone, rest assured. All the dead flesh has been removed. His life has been saved. The rest depends on nursing."

The people outside the door breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zuo Zixuan's words.

"Xuanxuan, can we go in and see her now?" the queen asked with tears in her eyes.

"It's possible, but she's been given anesthesia and won't wake up for a while."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look."

Everyone went into the house. King Ling bent down, picked up Zuo Zixuan and walked towards the main house.

"My dear wife, you have worked hard.

It's all my fault that I made you run around with a big belly."

"Alas..., we are all family, why are you saying these things?"

King Ling bent down with relief and kissed her forehead, then put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and watched her fall asleep before getting up and leaving.

This was the starting point of their acquaintance and love. This time, he would never let this be the end of their relationship again.

When it was daybreak, the men did not rest but went back to change their clothes and went to court.

The queen did not leave, but stayed in Prince Ling's palace to guard the eldest princess.

She couldn't feel at ease until she saw the eldest princess open her eyes, so she went back to the palace by herself.

If King Ling had not said that even if the eldest princess woke up, she could not be taken away for the time being, she would have wanted to bring her back to the palace and take care of her right now.

At the morning court, the emperor announced something that surprised several princes.

He ordered King Ling to lead his troops to attack the Liuli Kingdom.

The ministers did not know what was going on and opposed the emperor's decision.

This time, the five princes, who usually competed with each other, directed their attacks against the ministers.

The ministers shut up after only two rounds of debate.

The virtuous king, who had been hiding at home and quietly doing great things, was also confused when he heard that the spiritual king was suddenly going to lead his troops to attack Liuli.

I have been concentrating on doing things these days and haven't asked much about what's happening in the palace. Did I miss something important?

According to his original plan, he would take sick leave and recuperate at home during this period, but he was really worried, so he went to court the next day.

The purpose of today's court session is mainly to escort King Ling and the soldiers of the army out of the city.

What surprised him was that King Xiao and King Ping were also going to join him in the expedition.

He really didn't understand why these two cowardly guys suddenly became so brave?

Even Prince An and Prince Yun, who usually fought with them to the death, acted like brothers and sent them out of the city.

Seeing this situation, he became more and more uneasy, and always felt that his future life would be difficult.

But he was right about that.

After King Ling and his men set out on the expedition, King Yun and King An suddenly turned their attention to him.

Bandits appeared in Xishan, and he originally wanted to push the task of suppressing the bandits onto Prince Yun.

If he fails to complete the task, he will fan the flames and report him.

But who knew that Prince Yun and Prince An would work together to target him, and the task had to fall on him.

There was a snowstorm and famine in the north, and this disaster inexplicably fell on him.

He was living on the edge of a knife all day long, while Prince Yun and Prince An were hosting a banquet in the capital to welcome foreign envoys.

He felt that the emperor was too biased.

However, although the task was assigned to him, it did not say that he had to complete it personally.

He arranged for other people to handle these two matters, and he hid in the mansion, sharpening his brains and thinking about how to do something bad.

Judging from the time, his plan with Japan is about to begin.

He wanted to see, who else besides him could solve this problem?

Before leaving, King Ling asked King Yun and King An to pay special attention to King Xian.

The two men were watching the wise king for his mistakes so that they could report him.

I didn't expect that the wise king would actually jump into this pit.

King Ling led his troops to attack the Liuli Kingdom. When they reached the border, he captured several cities in no time.

In the capital of Liuli Kingdom, there was no news of the previous emperor's death, no crown prince, and no edict of succession.

No one came to issue this military order.

The orders issued by several princes were not carried out, and the court of Liuli Kingdom was in chaos.

Only when King Ling was about to attack their doorstep did they announce the death of the previous emperor, and anxiously pushed a random prince to the throne.

The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to quell the war.

He immediately sent an envoy to communicate with King Ling.

"King Ling, our two countries have always been on good terms. I wonder why Daman suddenly sent troops to attack our country?"

King Ling held the teacup in his hand and looked at the ambassador of Liuli Kingdom with a smile.

"For the sake of our country's eldest princess."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?

The eldest princess of Daming is doing well in our palace, and the late emperor even conferred the title of imperial concubine on her.

We asked ourselves if we had done anything to let her down."

"really?

Then please send the princess over to me so we can talk about the war."

"This..." The ambassador was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

Although he had heard a little bit about the affairs in the harem, he was not particularly clear about what was going on.

"I have been away from home for many years and haven't seen my elder sister for many years. I miss her very much and want to catch up with her.

Does this make it difficult for the ambassador?"

The Liuli Nation ambassador wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Lord Ling, the princess is married now after all. I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient for you, right?"

King Ling slammed the wine glass heavily on the table, "Humph, if I don't see the princess within three days, I will immediately lead my troops to destroy your Liuli Kingdom's palace."

The ambassador waved his hands repeatedly, "Spirit King, don't, don't be impulsive...

I will go back and negotiate with the new emperor."

The Spiritual King narrowed his eyes and looked at the ambassador's back, saying coldly: "Ambassador, take care..."

The ambassador of Liuli Country felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he always felt a chill on the back of his head.

The imperial study of Liuli Kingdom.

"You said the Spirit King started the war just to see Princess Daman?"

"Yes, he gave us three days to send the princess over, otherwise he would lead his troops to massacre the palace."

The new emperor frowned and thought about it.

Going to war just to see your own sister? Is that really the case?

"Ahfu, go ask Concubine Qiao to come to the Imperial Study."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After a stick of incense, the eunuch Ah Fu stumbled back to the imperial study, his face pale as if he had seen a ghost.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The new emperor frowned and looked at the flustered little eunuch.

"What's wrong? You're so flustered."

"Then, then, then..., Concubine Qiao's bedroom is like an abandoned cold palace.

There were no palace servants inside, and the bed was covered with dried pus and blood.

I didn’t see Concubine Qiao.”

"What?" The new emperor stood up from the stool excitedly.

He had only been on the throne for a few days and had no time to take care of the affairs in the harem.

What exactly is going on?

"Go check immediately. I want to know the whereabouts of Concubine Qiao within an hour."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

The ambassador felt that the situation was not right. Could something have happened to Concubine Qiao?

In less than an hour, only half an hour, Ah Fu came back panting.

"Your Majesty, Ah Fu has inquired and found out that Concubine Qiao is very likely dead."

"Dead? How did he die? Where is his body?"

"I asked, and after Concubine Qiao got married, the late emperor abused her every day.

Whipping, cutting with a dagger, burning with a candle...

The late emperor removed all the palace servants from her palace, leaving only a maidservant who came with her as a dowry by her side, and also ordered no one to approach within a hundred meters of her bedroom.

They said it shouldn't affect her recuperation.

Therefore, people in the palace did not know whether Concubine Qiao was dead or alive in the bedroom.

Concubine Qiao's maid was found drowned in the lotus pond seven days ago."

After hearing this, the new emperor sat down on the stool in a daze.

What a good father he was. Even after his death, he wanted to bury his country with him.

"Ah Fu, go find him. If he's alive, I want him. If he's dead, I want his body."
