Chapter 1105: The Return of an Old Friend (13)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Consort Mei, who was once famous and respected by everyone in the harem, was gone just like that. Her appearance, abandonment, and death were all too fast, leaving behind only the reputation of a spy of the Daliang Dynasty.
But what about Fu Xiuyi?
Ye Mei’s curse had been coming true.
Even if he pushed the blame to Ye Mei, the people of the world still looked at him as if he was a joke. As the emperor, he was obsessed with beauty and could not even identify a spy planted by the enemy country on his side. In the end, he even lost Youzhou because of it. The reputation of being an “incompetent emperor” had gradually spread among the people.
Fu Xiuyi became a complete laughing stock. What was worse was that as everyone had expected, ever since the Daliang Dynasty obtained Youzhou, they became braver and braver. Ming Qi was forced to retreat step by step, and it was a tragic sight. It was as if the previous momentum was all an illusion. The Daliang Dynasty was so powerful that it made people feel terrified.
At this moment, the State of Qin actually started to take the path of self-preservation and was planning to surrender to the Daliang Dynasty. The Daliang Dynasty was now pointing its arrow straight at Ming Qi, and Fu Xiuyi was overwrought every day.
It was terrible.
The situation of the battle was always changing rapidly.
After obtaining Youzhou, with Youzhou as the base, the Daliang Dynasty started to strike back. They did not choose to fight against the State of Qin first, but Ming Qi.
As expected, when the Daliang Dynasty launched an attack on Ming Qi, the State of Qin began to choose to protect themselves and even sent an envoy over to try to negotiate. They were willing to compensate with land ceding. The State of Qin was weak in the military aspect to begin with. After such a long time of war, the treasury of the State of Qin was already empty so that they had to put a heavy tax on the people, which caused a lot of public anger.
The State of Qin realized the seriousness of the situation. Compared to losing their country, ceding land and paying compensation was naturally nothing.
It was obviously not a good thing for Ming Qi that the State of Qin chose to quit at this time. However, no matter how hard Fu Xiuyi tried, the State of Qin ignored him.
The Daliang Dynasty’s army quickly reached the capital of Ming Qi.
Meanwhile, in Long Ye’s Weiyang Palace, Empress Xiande was getting the palace maid to pour wine for the guests.
This was a “palace banquet” , but there were no civil and military officials, no consorts, and only Shen Miao, Luo Tan, Emperor Yong Le, and Empress
Xiande. Empress Xiande said, “Take it as a family banquet. It’s a celebration for
Jingxing from thousands of miles away.”
Once Xie Jingxing took down the capital of Ming Qi, Ming Qi would really be finished. Xie Jingxing would naturally not let the State of Qin off. Without Ming Qi’s support, the State of Qin was just a fish on the chopping board. Xie Jingxing had dragged the battle for so long just for this moment.
It would not be long before this long and cruel war ended. At that time, the world would be at peace.
“Cousin, drink this.” Luo Tan placed the plum juice in front of Shen Miao and looked at her stomach. She said, “The imperial physician said that the child will be born in about two months. I wonder if it’s a nephew or niece..”
