Chapter 1809: Final Judgment
r softly, "Táng Táng, do you understand"At this point, An Xue Tang was completely powerless to roll her eyes. She understood now, but what thenHe's done this before, what else can she sayHe's already...The official who spoke out had clearly thought this through as well.
But he stood up at this time, having other intentions.
So, at that moment, following the Empress's words, he said, "Your Majesty, of course I would not allow Your Majesty to compromise like this."
“...”
At his words, the queen on the dragon throne was taken aback for a moment. Could it be that he had come up with some way to achieve a win-win solution
After a moment of silence, the Empress's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was no longer as chillingly cold. "What do you mean by that"
The minister pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, now that Prince Pander has fallen into the hands of the Northern Border Princess, based on this minister's understanding of the Northern Border Princess and her ilk, they will certainly not let it go."
"If Your Majesty does not want the Northern Border Princess to leave Xiliang's borders easily, then he will have to sacrifice some people. Otherwise, in this situation, there is no way to stop her."
"!!!"
To abandon some people... These words instantly caused the expressions of everyone in the hall to change drastically.
This official is being way too bold, isn't he Doesn't he want to live anymore
Anyone who isn't a fool can hear the subtext in his words. He clearly wants His Majesty to abandon Lady Pander's life.
To think that Xizi Panger is His Majesty's own flesh and blood, a princess born from his loving embrace after ten months of pregnancy... how dare he speak such words
Not only did the faces of the ministers in the main hall change dramatically, but even the Empress sitting on the dragon throne was clearly taken aback by the audacity of this minister to speak such treasonous words before her.
The Queen couldn't react in time, and she remained stunned for a moment after he finished speaking.
Upon regaining his composure, he flew into a rage and slammed his fist onto the table, his trembling hand pointing at the audacious minister. "You scoundrel, what did you just say Spit it out again if you have the guts!"
The minister knelt on the ground, his face pressed against his own back. What he said next couldn't be heard, and it was hard to tell just how afraid he was. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This may be harsh to hear, but I must speak."
"Your Majesty, if you do not abandon Princess Pàn'er, then you can only watch as the Northern Border Princess wreaks havoc, rubbing Your Majesty and Xiliang's face in the dirt."
"I am acting for the greater good, Your Majesty. If you wish for me to die, then I must die. But these words, I know are treasonous, but in this moment, they must be said."
"!"
Everyone present was taken aback by the audacity of someone daring to act this way at such a sensitive time.
He actually dared to speak those words in front of the Queen, though his words were indeed very true.
Now that Xi Zi'er has fallen into the hands of the Northern Border Princess, unless they sacrifice Xi Zi'er's life, they will forever be subject to the Northern Border Princess.
Even if the soldiers of Xi Liang Nation were all dispatched, it wouldn't be of any use.
After all, the princess is in the hands of the enemy. Who dares to act rashly
At this juncture, the only way to escape the North Border Princess's control was to sacrifice Xizi and Panger's lives.
Only then would it be possible to capture or execute the princess of Beijiang.
If you do not abandon Princess Pander's life, no matter what we do now, it will be impossible to harm the Northern Border Duchess.
On this point, everyone in the main hall knew and understood.
No one dared to speak so frankly to the Queen.
And after this minister finished speaking, the empress was already furious. She walked to a sword rack nearby and without saying a word, drew out a sword. She marched angrily towards the minister.
The sword in his hand was pressed directly against his throat, gritting his teeth, "You... you say it again, do you want me to abandon whose life"
Looking at this scene, everyone knows the Queen is on the verge of insanity.
I thought this minister would try to exonerate himself and plead for mercy from His Majesty.
Every subsequent word that followed was almost dancing on the edge of death.
...so frightened that everyone in the hall had to slow their breathing. ...
"Only listening to his very firm voice continue, “Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the Western Liang Kingdom and Your Majesty’s face will be lost.”
"Now all sorts of news have spread, and people throughout the land know that the Princess of Beijang has secretly entered our Xiliang territory. It is only a matter of time before news spreads that the Princess of Xiliang has been taken hostage by the Princess of Beijang."
"By then, if the Northern Border Princess truly manages to seize the princess and successfully escape from Xi Liang, Your Majesty, where will Your Majesty and Xi Liang's face be"
"What's more, if we let the Northern Border Princess easily control His Majesty, then who in this world will still fear our Xiliang Kingdom"
Even a mere North Frontier Princess is beyond our power in Xiliang. Your Majesty, have you considered what will happen once that North Frontier Princess safely leaves Will other nations not seize this opportunity to attack Xiliang
What if other countries think that our Western Liang nation is weak and thus recklessly attack us What should we do then
"As for me, I don't mind dying alone. But Xi Liang has enjoyed decades of peace, and it shouldn't be destroyed because of one person like Princess Pander."
In any case, this time we cannot let the Princess of Beijang leave so easily, or else the entire world will misunderstand that our Xiliang Kingdom is incompetent. We sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers, yet we can't even handle a single Princess from Beijang.
The official speaking is certainly not afraid of death.
And every sentence of his hit the Queen's weak points.
He knew what the Empress cared about most, so every word he spoke, even if she was furious, she had to admit that what he said was undeniably true.
Today, the world is in chaos. It's not just that the Tianba nation is being targeted by other countries.
They, the Western Liang kingdom, have also been eyed by countless other nations from all directions.
In this world of the strong preying on the weak, once someone's weakness is discovered, others will swarm in, ruthlessly dividing and devouring them like they would the Western Liang Kingdom.
Every word this subordinate has said is reasonable. Even if she can disregard her reputation, if we allow the Northern Border Princess to leave safely this time, other countries will think our Western Liang nation is weak and incompetent.
Despite having hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he was powerless against a mere princess from the Northern Border.
By then, other countries will try to turn the war towards Xiliang.
Let's not talk about dividing the Heavenly Domination Kingdom for now. This small territory of Xiliang Country will definitely be the first to be divided up.
For a Xizi, she dares to gamble
To tell the truth, she didn't dare.
Though a daughter's life is precious, her country is more so.
So at this moment, even though the Empress was shaking with rage, and her sword had already slashed across this subject's neck, drawing blood.
But did this sword ever finally come down
Everyone in the great hall held their breath, waiting for the Empress's final judgment.
After an unknown amount of time, the Queen's breathing gradually stabilized. Finally, with a clang, she dropped her sword to the ground.most every possible solution, but no matter what they came up with, nothing seemed to work.Even a glimmer of hope could be more harmful and uncertain than the current situation.This makes them how dar...
