The queen's movements became faster and faster. Anyone who opposed her in the court was recorded by her. These people soon either died violently or simply resigned themselves to their hometowns.
All in all, the ministers in the entire court were leaning toward the queen at a very impressive speed. No matter who looked at it, it was only a matter of time before the second prince ascended the throne.
However, there are a few people that the Queen cannot defeat!
The great scholar Hou Jin, the Fourth Prince Gu Long and the Prime Minister Shen Qiandong.
These few people are surrounded by master-level experts for personal protection, and they are deeply rooted in the court. No matter it is overt or covert, the three of them are not afraid!
But on the surface, none of them clearly meant to oppose the queen, but all three of them emphasized that they must see the imperial edict!
Especially Gu Long, he directly said that no one should talk about the new emperor's ascension to the throne until the cause of death of his brother, the emperor, was found out! Otherwise, no matter who it is, he will obstruct it to the end!
Finally, the queen, who was helpless, came up with a plan.
Ask Bai Xiaofei or that young man from the World Chamber of Commerce for help!
Matters that cannot be solved internally are left to the outside, because they don't have to consider so many things, and judging from the performance of the two people before, it is entirely possible for them to help the second prince win the throne without any action!
Finally, the queen made up her mind and left the palace!
And the first person she met was Bai Xiaofei.
If you have to make a choice between Xingluo and Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, Xingluo is obviously a better choice. After all, they are all students, and compared to outsiders like Bai Xiaofei and others, they are more pure.
No matter what, you can't be too trusting of people raised in a place like the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
A person who is neither evil nor businessman, and can be sent out by a business giant like the World Chamber of Commerce, no matter how young he is, he is definitely a wolf that cannot be fed!
"Several of my classmates haven't been wronged here, right?"
After retreating from the guards and maids, the queen stood alone in front of Bai Xiaofei and others. Needless to say, she was sincere.
"How can I be wronged? Thanks to the Empress Hongfu, we have food and drink here every day, and our life is very uncomfortable."
Smiling slightly, Bai Xiaofei spoke in an official tone and had no intention of having a close relationship with the Queen.
"What if there is a better life for you? Are you willing to consider it?"
The Queen did not show any displeasure because of Bai Xiaofei's reaction. Instead, she repaid evil with kindness and extended her olive branch.
"Is there any better life than having to eat and drink without doing anything? I'm a lazy person and can't do anything too troublesome."
Bai Xiaofei, the wise advisor, had a mean smile on his face. If the Queen hadn't been determined enough, she might have already taken action at this time.
"I heard that you were helping the prince before. Now the prince has been killed by an adulterer and has become completely crazy. I sent people to check and found that there is no way to save him. Since you can do things for the prince, you can also do the same. Help others take this last step, come and help me, and I will give you everything you want!"
This time it was very direct. The queen just said, "You can make my son the emperor no matter what."
"Everything I want? Haha, it's really grand. So tell me, what can you give me?"
Putting his hands together, Bai Xiaofei had a playful expression on his face.
"I know you despise the official position of Guyue Kingdom, and you can't stay here for a long time, but as long as you are willing to help me, you can get a hereditary title. If any of your descendants are interested in coming to Guyue Kingdom in the future,
, then he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and at the same time, I can also give you a generous fortune and the high-level puppet you want!"
The queen can be said to have spent a lot of money, which means that as long as Bai Xiaofei agrees, he and his descendants will at least have enough food and clothing in the future.
However, facing such a generous offer, Bai Xiaofei's only reaction was to smile coquettishly.
"I'm so sorry, Queen, the conditions you just issued don't make any sense to me."
After a pause, Bai Xiaofei continued to speak.
"Since the crown prince is no longer destined for the throne, and our mission to the Daoming Chamber of Commerce has failed, please ask the queen to let us leave. We have been away from Xingluo for a while, and it is time to go back. I promise that we will not cause any trouble to you.
Any trouble."
As Bai Xiaofei said, the Queen's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"Is there really no need to discuss it?"
With a cold face, the queen asked the last question.
"It's not that there was no discussion, it's that I really don't want to wade through this muddy water anymore. I'm already tired."
Bai Xiaofei said lightly and gave up the last chance.
"Then I'm afraid you will have to stay here for a while longer. Once the matters in the Imperial City are settled, you can naturally return to the place you want to return to, and I guarantee that you will not have any safety problems." After that,
, the queen slowly turned around and walked out without saying a word. She thought Bai Xiaofei would say something to persuade her to stay, but Bai Xiaofei did not.
"You really don't want to care about things here? But that's not what you said before."
After the queen left, Qin Lingyan asked Bai Xiaofei with doubts on her face.
"Of course not, it's just a delaying tactic. She will definitely not let us go. If I don't say it more harshly, she will feel that she still has hope."
After Bai Xiaofei finished speaking, several people showed expressions of realization.
"But, who should we help? She just said that the prince has gone crazy, and it was the third prince who attacked us. If you don't plan to help the second prince, then there will be no one left."
Bai Ye's face was full of confusion, and Chu Yue and Zhao Tiantian were not far behind.
"This cannot be said, this cannot be said..."
With a slight smile, Bai Xiaofei gave up.
"What about the Wind and Thunder Thieves? They are still here, do you think they will do anything?"
Qin Lingyan still focused on his mission. Although he couldn't complete it no matter how he looked at it, Qin Lingyan was unwilling to let the Wind and Thunder Thieves go.
"They will definitely do it. They have a reason to take action. As long as the people from the World Chamber of Commerce don't leave, they may intervene at any time!"
After Bai Xiaofei finished speaking, Qin Lingyan's eyes lit up.
"Then can we..."
"No matter what, we just wait and see what happens. No matter it's the people from the royal family or the people from the Wind and Thunder Thieves Group, no one can find us in trouble now. If you don't want to watch the show at such a good opportunity, do you still want to get involved?"
Interrupting Qing Lingyan's words, Bai Xiaofei silenced the group of people with one sentence, and then sighed one after another.
How long will this take?
While Bai Xiaofei and others were studying the situation in the room, the Queen rushed to the young people from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce without stopping.
If Bai Xiaofei didn't agree, the queen had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
But this time, she was not disappointed. The young man from the World Chamber of Commerce agreed and only made one condition.
Make him a general!
The mighty general!
