Some of the princes and princesses who were originally close to Chen Qianxue quickly found different excuses to distance themselves from Chen Qianxue.
They did not know what was going on inside.
They only knew that they only had one life.
What if their royal sister was really that kind of ruthless person?
They did not dare to gamble.
Once they lost the gamble, they would lose their lives. The body of the Crown Princess had just been buried not long ago!
[Age 53, you have fallen into a passive state. The relationship between the Imperial Court that you worked so hard to build has collapsed quite a bit. There is an endless stream of impeachment about you in the Imperial Court. The Crown Prince of Great Wei has combined the power that he has built for many years and is relying on the general situation to bring you great pressure.]
[One day, hundreds of officials jointly requested the Emperor of Great Wei to recruit a son-in-law for you. This way, you would be able to leave the core of the Great Wei Dynasty.]
[Chen Fengyin asked for your opinion, but you rejected it.]
[Chen Fengyin withstood the pressure in the Imperial Court for you. The matter of the Princess recruiting a son-in-law was temporarily put on hold.]
[Hundreds of officials once again jointly signed. This time, they took a step back and requested to give Princess Chang Ning a piece of land and set up a residence in the land. On the land, Princess Chang Ning’s power was second only to the Emperor of the Great Wei. She was like a Prince who was given a title.]
[Last time, Chen Fengyin blocked the pressure for you. This time, it’s not good to continue to be biased. You also know this logic.]
[You agreed.]
“Miss Chen, you lost.” The old lady’s voice was filled with emotion, it slowly sounded, “Ever since the Crown Prince of the Great Wei broke his own arm, killed his wife, and framed you, you were already in a passive position.”
“After that, the other party’s series of combined punches made you barely able to parry. No matter how much the Emperor of Great Wei favors you, at this time, we can only be impartial to each other.”
“Otherwise, if he blindly favors one person, the entire dynasty will be in chaos.” The old lady continued, “You are still too young after all.”
Chen Qianxue did not seem to be affected by this.
She smiled, “Indeed, I was one step behind. After all, my eldest brother is someone who has lived for hundreds of years. If he was defeated so easily by me, I would even suspect that there was a trap.”
“This time, he has taught me a lesson. However, he can only use the same tactic on me once. Next time, he won’t have the chance to use this tactic.”
The old lady was stunned. She was extremely puzzled by Chen Qianxue’s indifferent attitude.
She felt that Qin Jiao and Chen Qianxue had different personalities, and their style of doing things were completely different.
However, the two of them had one thing in common.
That was…
Optimism!
The two of them seemed to be completely unafraid of failure. No matter what kind of predicament they encountered, they were able to face it calmly.
In fact…
She felt that the two of them were not afraid of death at all, nor did they treat their own lives as one matter.
It was as if they were playing in the human world.
It was very strange!
This made the old lady very puzzled.
The old lady could not help but ask, “The Great Wei Emperor has divided a piece of land for you, and this piece of land is very far away from the Imperial City. Even if you take a flying ship, it will take a few months to travel between the land and the Imperial City.”
“This means that you don’t have much of a chance to get your hands on the core power of Great Wei. You also don’t have much of a chance to continue fighting with the Crown Prince.”
“In your land, you are indeed a local Emperor. However, what’s the use of that? Are you sure you have another chance?!”
After hearing these words, Chen Qianxue smiled mysteriously. “I will have another chance.”
Howver, she did not explain much, just like a riddler.
[Age 54, you, who has already come to the fief, became the first female king of the Great Wei Dynasty. You discovered that the fief that you have been assigned has always had good weather, and the people live and work in peace. It seems that Chen Fengyin still favors you.]
[Age 55, you, who can finally calm down and focus on cultivating, broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop.]
[Age 56, a foreign country that borders your land actually sent troops to invade your land. In just a few days, they plundered several cities! You sent troops to chase them out of Great Wei, but the land was already in ruins.]
[The friction between the fief and the neighboring countries is getting more and more serious. You realized that the monarch of this neighboring country is actually an ambitious person.]
[The enemy gathered troops to go south and invade the fief again.]
[Both sides started a war!]
Chen Qianxue had just arrived at the fief for a few years and encountered such a situation. She did not believe that no one was operating in the dark.
Especially when she discovered that the enemy troops of the neighboring countries were using weapons that were the same as Great Wei’s.
She knew that someone was trying to stab her in the back.
From the looks of it…
Even if they chased her out of Great Wei’s circle of power, the Crown Prince was still worried about her.
This move…
To sow discord between a country and a fiefdom, causing a sudden war.
It was to take her life in one fell swoop!
After all, as an Empress, Chen Qianxue had the responsibility and obligation to defend her fiefdom to the death.
Although she could wait for reinforcements from the Imperial Court, her fiefdom was far away from the Imperial City.
Wait for reinforcements?
It would be too late!
As for reinforcements from other places near the fiefdom? Chen Qianxue felt that it was even more hopeless. If they wanted to support those people, they would have done so long ago. They had been so slow up until now…
This meant that they were also the people of the Crown Prince of Great Wei!
Perhaps, they were the few knives that the Crown Prince used to stab Chen Qianxue in the back to provoke the war between the two countries!
Under such circumstances, it was already very rare for them not to stab Chen Qianxue in the back a few more times.
How could she expect them to send reinforcements?
[With the strength of a fief, it is not very realistic to resist the strength of a country. Your fief army is retreating step by step. You have no choice but to personally lead the army to kill the enemy.]
[However, you didn’t expect the enemy to send out two Nascent Soul stage generals. Wei Yi is at the Nascent Soul stage, but he can only stop one of them.]
[The other Nascent Soul general went on a rampage!]
