But what no one expected was that this tug-of-war would last for such a long time, and that the Chen army was indeed retreating in a situation of complete defeat.

In fact, this was what Ji Jia had expected from the beginning, and he had told the emperor at the beginning, even if the emperor was mentally prepared, but when the soldiers came to the city, he was still in a trance.

Ji Jia said that what Beiyin wants is definitely not to destroy the Chen State, one is that their military strength has not reached this point at least, and the other is that if they want to destroy the Chen State, it will not be this kind of performance in the first place.

The emperor believed that he believed it, but now, step by step, it seems that there is no way to retreat.

There are two more cities, and Beiyin is already about to enter the capital.

At this time, whether it was the people in the capital or not, whether it was those dignitaries or not, all of them were panicked.

Even in the palace, the situation is much more negative than before.

Before, there were still thoughts on fighting for things like the establishment of the reserve, and there were also arguments for trivial things in the harem.

Looking at it now, none of these things are a big deal.

Concubine Rou was sitting here in Jinyang Palace at this time, and she had a sad expression on her face, "I didn't expect it, I never thought that our Chen Kingdom would have such a day." ”

Chi Chi smiled and took another sip of tea, "Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Is it okay not to worry now? I'm afraid that the country will be broken tomorrow. ”

Chi Chi shook his head, "It's just a matter of telling me this in this palace, if there is a third person who hears it, Niangniang will be a capital crime." ”

She put down the teacup, "You also know how much my father is afraid of this matter now, and he doesn't allow others to say a word easily." ”

Concubine Rou just fell into the memory, "I still remember when I was young, at that time, many countries came to the court, and our Chen State was the first power, and then when I grew up, I entered the palace and became His Majesty's concubine, which is also my glory, but what I didn't expect was that just after such a little time, how could the world be turned upside down?" ”

"In troubled times, after all, who can guarantee that the original glory will last for a long time? Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, life is like this. ”

Concubine Rou was a little puzzled, "Your Highness is just a teenager now, and she hasn't married yet?" Why do you have so many human insights? ”

Chi Chi laughed, shook his head and did not speak.

Speaking of which, although she looks young on the outside, her inner soul is already old enough, even in ancient times, she has lived for more than ten years.

She was so bullying from the beginning, and it was already very difficult to get to now.

Everyone only saw her ascend to the sky, but no one can know how much and what happened to her in the process.

As far as she is concerned, even if the soldiers are in the city, she will not change color, there is nothing to say.

Maybe it's a bit of a pity, after all, there are still things that are not completely done.

Concubine Rou sat here for a while, and then felt as if her mood had stabilized.

She looked at the delay, "Then our affairs will be put on hold for the time being?" ”

Chi Chi said, "Now is not the time to say these words, although it is said that the mother does not have to worry about this, but indeed, once there is a war now, there are already too many variables, and our business, that is, there is no need to rush for a while." ”

Concubine Rou frowned, "But Your Highness, didn't you say it before, but you think this might be a good opportunity?" ”

Of course, the times are turbulent, what the prince can do for this country, and what can be left of this country in the end, no one knows.

It's because the current situation is really unclear, but it was true that I said a long time ago that this was an opportunity.

If you take advantage of the Beiyin incident to ask the prince to step down, it is actually not impossible.

But perhaps because the situation is unclear and shaky, Chi Chi suddenly has a sense of powerlessness.

After fighting for a long time, in the end, it seemed that it was just making wedding dresses for others, which was not interesting.

She smiled, "Opportunity is opportunity, but there's no need for it. She stood up, "Niangniang, if after a few days, Chen Guo is gone, who else will this queen do?" Whose queen can she be? ”

Concubine Rou's face turned white, she really believed it for a little no reason, she said that she didn't have to worry about it, she could really put down her snacks, she said now that there was a danger of losing the country, then Concubine Rou really believed it again.

After seeing Concubine Rou's face getting whiter and whiter, she smiled, "Niangniang don't have to worry, I'm just talking, Chen Guo won't die, so Niangniang still thinks about how to continue planning after this turmoil passes." ”

Concubine Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded, "Your Highness has not been in good spirits recently, and his body has never been good before, so it is estimated that he still needs to rest more." ”

is also because of the war, Concubine Rou is also idle, and often runs to Jinyang Palace.

If there may have been people staring at the relationship between these two people before, but by this time, everyone is already in danger, and in their own palace, it is really impossible to go out of the door.

Even the emperor has no intention of caring about the rights and wrongs of the harem, and the queen also burns incense and prays every day.

So, in this case, Concubine Rou went in and out of Jinyang Palace every day, and no one cared.

She has been here more often, and it is inevitable that she will feel that there may be some real feelings between the two.

And Chi Chi is actually too lazy to deal with her, but it's just that someone has nothing to do to talk to her.

Recently, Cao Ting has been getting busier and busier to death, Ji Jia is back, and many things are directly handed over to Cao Tingyu.

In order to perform, it is absolutely impossible to disobey the yang and the yin, or to hand over the things that Ji Jia assigned to him to others.

Basically, everything has to be done by himself, and Ji Jia is here, he sees six ways and listens to all directions, and the more Cao Ting is, the more naturally it is not easy to run to the harem.

Since Ji Jia came back to the present, Cao Tingyue has not come to the harem again.

But that's for the safety of both of them.

At this juncture, it's better not to make any trouble.

Therefore, in fact, Chi Chi sometimes feels bored in his own palace, and it is not bad to have a concubine Rou come forward to say a few words.

She hadn't spoken at this time, and Ah Zhi's voice sounded a little panicked outside, "Your Highness......"

That's what happened.

After a long time, he called her in and asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Ah Zhi rarely looked so panicked, and he didn't have time to scruple to say that Concubine Rou was still here, so he immediately said, "Someone from Beiyin has sent a peace talk book." ”

Chi raised his eyebrows, "You are willing to agree to peace talks?" ”

She didn't expect that now that the Beiyin army was pressing the border, it was menacing, even if she continued to fight, she was afraid that Chen Guo would have no ability to resist.

In this way, Beiyin actually sent the peace talk book by himself?

Chi Chi stood up and took two steps, "What does he want?" ”

As soon as he said this, he knew that he was thinking too much, and this matter was a military plane, and it was estimated that it had just been sent to the imperial study at this time, and it was just next to it, how could this Ah Zhi know.

Chi Chi frowned, and thought about it again, "Land reparations?" What do you want, it can't be as simple as that, do you want us to pay tribute to them? ”

Concubine Rou said, "Isn't it good to negotiate peace?" There is no need to fight in the peace talks, at least in the peace talks, it can ensure that they really did not think about really destroying the Chen State. ”

"So what?" After thinking about it a lot, her voice became louder, "If it is really a peace talk, if the things you want are really excessive, maybe it threatens the dignity of a country, do you have to kneel down and bear it?" ”

Chi Chi laughed, "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has said that if he asks his father to call him his father and recognize him as the king, will his father do the same?" ”

Concubine Rou opened her mouth, a little unsure of what to say.

She didn't think about it so much, she just felt that at least she had to protect the country.

But for Chi Chi, she had learned a lot in history class, although she didn't have much love for Chen Guo, and she wouldn't think it was her home country or anything like that, but when this happened.

She would still feel resentment.

The peace talks, it is true that Chen Guo has no way now, and even Beiyin Ken and them peace talks seem to be tolerant.

What else can they say.

It's just that the insult is in front of you, and you have to live secretly.

It's really good and boring.

Chi Chi glanced at Ah Zhi, "Go and inquire, what does Beiyin want?" How many cities do you want, how much does it cost, and how much does it cost...... Never mind. ”

After a long time, he broke it again, and then smiled, "What does it matter more or less, as long as it is owned by Chen Guo, now that Beiyin has spoken, what else is there not to give." ”

She lost interest, waved her hand lazily, and then called Ah Zhi to go down, and looked at Concubine Rou again and said, "Niangniang, I'm tired, I don't have time to entertain Niangniang today." ”

Concubine Rou saw that her expression was a little bad, and she knew that she was only afraid that she was still affected by this, so she could only stand up and say, "Then, Your Highness should rest well, and taking care of your body is the most important thing." ”

I wasn't in the mood to talk to her for a while, so I just waved my hand and planned to rest for a while.

It is not a secret that Beiyin wants to negotiate peace, and it will soon be known to everyone.

Everyone in the harem is rejoicing, glad that this Beiyin at least has the meaning of peace talks.

Next.

Ah Zhi really stumbled over directly this time, "Your Highness, something has happened to Your Highness." ”

Chi Chi turned his head to look at her, "What else could be a big deal?" Is the capital broken? ”

Ah Zhi's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground suddenly, his whole body trembling.

"Beiyin, Beiyin Peace Talks......"

"Name Your Highness."
