After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the air around him seemed to have stopped, making it appear extremely quiet and strange.

After a while, Zhao Changqing recovered from the shock and asked in a tentative tone: "Military advisor, did your father really say this?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "This is the news from the scouts. However, His Highness King Qi does not need to worry. Although His Majesty is well aware of our actions in Qingzhou, judging from his tone, he does not want to blame us.

Moreover, since Your Majesty asked the scouts to deliver the message instead of the eunuchs, it is enough to show that Your Majesty is not willing to let everyone know about this kind of thing for a while.

If Liang guessed correctly, His Majesty is giving us time to develop our own strength."

"Develop your own power?" Zhao Changqing didn't understand what he meant and asked: "What does this mean? If we develop our own power, wouldn't it threaten him..."

Having said this, it is obvious who Zhuge Liang is. He lightly waved his feather fan and said: "No matter how bad your Majesty is, you were still an outstanding figure among the thirteen brothers. For someone like him who has been around since he was a child.

As for an emperor who lived in party disputes and conspiracies, why would he allow his princes to compete for power in the court during his reign?

From this we can imagine that your Majesty’s real intention is to have all the princes, including you, Prince Qi, fight together, and only the prince who truly wins the battle will be the next emperor of Wei.”

Zhao Changqing said in confusion: "According to what you mean, there is no need for the emperor to establish a prince! Why did he insist on establishing a prince when the Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "This is your Majesty's wisdom. By establishing a prince early, you can not only better balance the forces of all parties, but also play a stabilizing role in the eyes of the family and the people.

But judging from His Majesty’s actions, I’m afraid it will be difficult for His Highness to obtain the throne legitimately.”

Zhao Changqing soothed his brows and said: "Since my father has said so, from now on, I will be the emperor of Qingzhou."

Zhuge Liang bent down and bowed, not daring to say anything.

Although this kind of statement is heart-breaking, after all, in the palace, Zhuge Liang believed that according to the strictness of the palace, no matter what was said, nothing could be spread.

This is also true. Many members of the mysterious organization under the Wei Emperor died when Zhao Changqing first came to the palace.

Zhao Changqing knew about this, but he didn't know who it was, so he attributed them to Jianghu people who came to steal.

As for keeping him alive, it's very difficult.

Once someone in the palace catches anyone from that mysterious organization, that person will commit suicide immediately, and the method of committing suicide will be difficult to prevent.

Anyway, in the beginning, a group of people came and died, and Zhao Changqing didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

It's just that people like Wei Wuji were killed in front of the house where they lived. This was the first time they encountered him.

Mi Yue was led by someone on behalf of him and came to Zhao Changqing's side.

Zhao Changqing waved his hand, signaling everyone around him to retreat, including Zhuge Liang.

He looked at her and said: "Your Highness, how do you explain that guy named Chu Hong? He is so courageous. He dared to kick down the door of my palace and even told Wei Wuji that he would die.

Such a joke about exchanging one life.

Even if you want to save Wei Wuji, you don’t have to resort to this trick, right? Whose intelligence are you blatantly bullying?"

Mi Yue bit her lips lightly and said: "Your Highness, King Qi, there is a misunderstanding about this matter. What Chu Hong did was not Mi Yue's instruction, but that he and Wei Wuji were already on good terms with each other, and he did this in a hurry.

This kind of thing is excusable."

"Excusable?" Zhao Changqing chuckled and said, "It's useless to say more. In short, he kicked the door of my palace first. According to the iron law of the Wei Dynasty, he should be executed for insulting the royal family.

Therefore, if Her Majesty the Princess does not want to see him follow Wei Wuji to death, she should quickly prepare 20 million taels of silver! Otherwise, let the two of them travel together so that they can have someone to look after them on their way to hell."

Mi Yue gritted her teeth and said, "You are forcing others to make things difficult for you!"

Zhao Changqing said: "So you have to face the difficulties!"

Mi Yue asked again: "Is there really no delay in the matter?"

Zhao Changqing pinched her chin, pretending to be frivolous, and whispered softly in her ear: "Sir, if you can save two people by staying with me for a night, you have already earned this business."

Mi Yue blushed because of him, stamped her feet, and then left the palace.

When leaving, Zhao Changqing also said to her: "If you leave the palace today, if you want to come back in the future, you will either get money or stay in bed, there is no negotiation!"

He said these words very loudly.

The guards who were standing far away to protect his safety heard this, and they all admired him in their hearts.

"As expected of the King of Qi, he dares to let the princess of a country sleep with him! This courage, tsk tsk, who among the five countries can match it?"

Mi Yue returned to the inn, still blushing and heartbeating. Recalling Zhao Changqing's mean expression, she was angry and happy. Then she thought that Chu Hong and Wei Wuji were still in his hands. In the blink of an eye, she became worried again.

Zhong Zhong.

On the second day, she was still unhappy.

After thinking hard all night, I still can't find a solution to the problem.

Finally, as if he had made a difficult choice, he murmured: "Father, Mi Yue is unfilial and will embarrass the Chu State!"

All she could think about now was that this incident was all caused by her, and Chu Hong and Wei Wuji were of vital importance to the Chu State.

In addition, his original purpose of making peace was to alleviate the possible impact on the alliance between the two countries caused by the assassination of Qi King Zhao Changqing.

So, she made that decision.

As long as you make him happy, you can protect the alliance between Chu and Wei, right?

Even if Jin invades Qingzhou, Chu will not be spared.

The war is about to break out, and their focus must be on the Chu State. After all, there are no natural dangers to defend in the Chu State, and they are all easy-to-attack areas.

If at this time, there is a rift between the two countries, it is likely that the Jin State will take advantage of it.

After all, the current Jin State is the overlord among the five countries. It has absolute strength and power and can destroy the current Chu State without even losing its vitality.

The current Jin Emperor is also known as the wisest emperor in the Jin Kingdom for a century. There are many heroes in the country. Once things develop to an irreversible point, only the combined efforts of Wei and Chu can compete with the Jin Kingdom.

The key to making Chu and Wei loyal to the alliance was Qi King Zhao Changqing.

After thinking about this, Mi Yue felt that even the sacrifices she made were worth it.

Moreover, being given to such a wise king is not an insult to oneself. Ask yourself, there are few men in the world who are as heroic as Zhao Changqing.

So, that night, Mi Yue came to the door of the palace.

The guard refused to let her in, saying that His Royal Highness King Qi had already gone to bed and asked her to come back tomorrow if there was something urgent.

Mi Yue seemed to have made a decision and then risked her life. "Princess Mi Yue of the Chu State has come to sleep with Zhao Changqing, King of Qi of the Wei State."

The doorman was shocked by these words.

Damn it, your majestic princess has really come to sleep with you? Am I not dreaming? No, whether it’s true or not, I have to report it to His Highness King Qi immediately.

How could Zhao Changqing sleep at this time? He was basking in the moon and counting the stars.

Then I heard the guard guard coming to report, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Chu has come to sleep with her. She is waiting outside the palace."

"Bedtime attendant?"

Zhao Changqing frowned, "Are you serious?"

The guard said: "How dare I deceive the prince?"

Zhao Changqing stood up from the recliner in excitement and said: "You mean, the Princess of Chu, Mi Yue, is here? She wants to sleep with me?"

The guard nodded extremely seriously, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am definitely not mistaken."

"If you dare to lie to me, will the Yi clan believe it?" Zhao Changqing still couldn't believe it.

Is she really here?

A majestic princess actually came to sleep with me?

For whom? For Wei Wuji?

grass!

The guard still nodded firmly.

Zhao Changqing suddenly laughed twice and said: "Come here, take a bath and change clothes! Call her here, I want to take a mandarin duck bath with her!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

I don't know why, but the guard was also very happy.

When he led the Princess of Chu to the front and back of the door, the guard withdrew.

Mi Yue lingered outside Zhao Changqing's house for a long time. She knew that Zhao Changqing was inside.

After thinking for a long time, he plucked up the courage and opened the door with eyes full of autumn.

When he walked in, he saw Zhao Changqing lying comfortably in the tub behind a red curtain, with two maids beside him.

Zhao Changqing knew that it was the Princess of Chu who had come in, and asked her: "Do you know that once you make a decision, there is no way out. You still have a chance to regret it now."

Regarding this kind of thing, Zhao Changqing is not willing to force others to make things difficult, and he also wants to understand why he suddenly agreed? Is it really because of Wei Wuji's old friend and the Chu general?

Mi Yue bit her lip and said, "Now that I'm here, I'm mentally prepared. But, can you ask your two maids to leave first?"

Zhao Changqing teased: "What? Are you afraid of being shy?"

He is not afraid of her cheating. After all, he has the cultivation level of the True Martial Realm, and he also has the help of strange fire, and has the ability of independent early warning, so he is not afraid of Mi Yue's sudden appearance.

Mi Yue didn't respond, just nodded.

Zhao Changqing smiled and waved to the two maids beside him.
