Duan Qingli thought about what she had done, and blamed her for believing too much in the theory of ghosts and gods, thinking that as long as she could awaken the Holy Son of the Witch Clan, she could ensure peace in Southern Xinjiang for eternity. In the end, Southern Xinjiang was still ruined in her hands.
She sighed and said: "Yes, if the regent really wanted to be an enemy of Southern Xinjiang, he would not have waited until today."
Xiao Chengyi glanced at Duan Qingli and said: "I am not interested in the king of Jiangshan in southern Xinjiang. If your majesty is truly repentant, why not give the throne to the high priest.
Let’s see if there is no Gu King, no Holy Son and Holy Lady, will the High Priest be able to become a praised wise king?”
Duan Qingli was taken aback. She looked at Xiao Chengyi with wide eyes and said, "You don't want it?"
She thought that Southern Xinjiang would die in her hands today. Who would have thought that Xiao Chengyi would disdain the throne of Southern Xinjiang, which he could easily get.
Mu Yun'an on the side curled his lips and said: "Brother Yi doesn't even care about Beichen, let alone Nanjiang. This place is so small and far away from Nanyue, so we don't care about it."
Duan Qingli: "..."
This is really heartbreaking.
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly and agreed: "What Yan Yan said is that Southern Xinjiang is remote and difficult to manage even if it is included in Nanyue's territory. Moreover, the people may not be willing to submit. It is better to continue Southern Xinjiang than this."
Duan Qingli was a little surprised after hearing what Xiao Chengyi said. Xiao Chengyi didn't want such a good opportunity?
You must know that no emperor can resist the ambition to annex other countries.
Duan Qingli looked at Nanyue Crown Prince Xiao Jue who was standing aside and said, "Can the regent make the decision on such a big matter? Don't you discuss it with the prince?"
But Xiao Jue said: "There is nothing to discuss. The Regent's will is my palace's wish."
He brought his troops here to avenge Xiao Chengyi and save Mu Yun'an.
If Xiao Chengyi really died, he would definitely use Southern Xinjiang to bury him with him. Since he was fine, why would he spend more time killing people and causing war?
What's more, even if Nanyue really annexes southern Xinjiang, it will not be easy to govern, and there will be disaster in the long run.
Duan Qingli sighed with emotion when he heard this: "I used to hear people say that the regent of Nanyue is a genius, but then I saw you risking your life for a woman. I don't think you can achieve anything?
Because since ancient times, those who have achieved great things cannot be trapped in the affair between their children, but you lost your life because of a woman, and I think you are nothing more than that.
But now it seems that I am narrow-minded. You have feelings in your heart and all the people in the world. You have great wisdom and the courage to make people surrender. I am ashamed of myself."
Duan Qingli said this from her heart. She had never taken Xiao Chengyi seriously before, because he showed a big weakness, and that was Mu Yun'an.
People with such weaknesses will definitely not achieve great things, but Xiao Chengyi changed her view.
He can turn defeat into victory from adversity, and his weakness is precisely his strongest armor.
Xiao Chengyi looked at Duan Qingli and said: "Actually, Your Majesty is also a great female hero. It is undeniable that you are a very good emperor. However, if you hold this position for a long time, you will easily become mentally disturbed and lose yourself.
Throughout the ages, many emperors worked hard to rule in their youth, but in their later years they were greedy for pleasure and even looked for ways to live forever.
To put it bluntly, they are too greedy for the enjoyment brought by power and forget their mission as the king of a country. In the end, only the people suffer."
Duan Qingli looked like she had been taught something. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "When Mo'er wakes up, I will tell him that I have been trapped in the palace for decades and now it's time to let go."
As she spoke, she bowed her head towards Xiao Chengyi and said, "Thank you very much, Prince Regent. Please accept my bow."
Xiao Chengyi helped her up and said: "Actually, I am a very stingy person. You have caused Yan Yan to suffer so much and shed so many tears. I originally wanted you to return it. If Yan Yan hadn't asked for it, I would have
I have no intention of saving the high priest."
Duan Qingli was a little surprised. She looked at Mu Yun'an and said, "I thought you hated me."
