Chapter 989: Countermeasures (I)
At this time, the curtain made of pearls, in the light of the night pearl,
A soft, thick pile carpet that lays flat on the floor.
A few simple furnishings were placed in this slightly empty hall, except for the bright night pearl on the top of the hall is still shining, and the gems inlaid in the temple wall are still dazzling people's eyes, this hall seems to be somewhat deserted.
At this time, it was already night, and outside the large half-open window, the moonlight had appeared.
It's just that this moonlight is much weaker than the light in the main hall.
A slender figure is constantly moving in the light of the night pearl, reflecting on the wall, somewhat bleak.
"Hasn't Your Majesty come out yet?" Outside the hall, a female official came over and saw four maids standing at the temple door, and she couldn't help but walk up to them and ask.
This hall is different from the rest of the palace, it is the temple of the palace, where the members of the royal family punish themselves and are confined to themselves.
The furnishings inside are simple, the environment is cold, if you stay for a long time, it will definitely have a certain impact on the body, and the people who come here will only stay for a while and will leave.
Today it happened that the female official Ai Beiting was patrolling the palace, and she knew that His Majesty had come to this place again today.
"Lord Ai Betting, Your Majesty has not come out yet. After giving the lady a salute, one of the four maids whispered.
Looking up at the sky, the night is already a little dark, if you stay in the temple at this time, it is easy to get sick, although there is a divine treatment, but any priest knows that this will actually shorten the life of a person.
The female officer Ai Beiting's expression became more serious than ever, and she sighed and said: "The night is already so deep, Your Majesty can't always do it without rest." β
"Yes, Your Majesty has been in for two hours, and it was like this yesterday, if you don't rest, Your Majesty's body will ......" Speaking of this, the four cronies and maids stopped talking.
It's not that they don't want to persuade His Majesty, but they are humble and light-hearted, and there are some things that they can't do, let alone speak.
The second is that His Majesty's temper has been very short-tempered and capricious in the past few days, and they don't want to persuade them, even if they are accompanying them, they all feel panicked.
"Your Majesty is still in a very bad mood, often lose your temper?" The female officer Ai Beiting guessed a few points when she saw the embarrassed expressions of these four people.
The man nodded.
Seeing this, the female officer Ai Beiting, who originally wanted to go in and persuade her, also dispelled her idea, joke, who is she?
It's just a little female official, and if she provokes Your Majesty, she won't be able to eat and walk around.
"Do all the ministers know?" suddenly thought of how many people could persuade His Majesty, and the female official Ai Beiting asked, the four female officials, even within them, have the title of internal minister, of course, there is no such position in public.
"Your Majesty ...... has instructed us not to tell the Minister about her coming, so ......," said one of the maids, plucking up her courage.
So, the four prime ministers don't know it? The female official Ai Beiting nodded: "Oh, I know." β
After saying that, without saying anything, she quickly left the place.
Ten minutes later, the four palace women came here, and saw that the four maids were still standing in front of the temple gate, and the four palace women looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"Your Majesty is inside?" asked one of the women with a wave of his hand to stop the four maids.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is inside. "Although His Majesty told them not to talk about this matter with the Prime Minister, but now that the Prime Minister has arrived, it is naturally difficult for them to open their eyes and talk nonsense.
"Alright, there's nothing to do with you here, stay a little further away from here, and remember, don't let people near the main hall. After an explanation, the four high-ranking female officers pushed open the door of the temple and walked in.
As soon as I entered, a cold breath rushed towards me.
The light of the bright night pearl illuminates the hall incomparably brightly, but because of this, it also looks extremely cold.
A person was wandering in the hall, his light clothes could not resist the cold of the night.
"Your Majesty. A high-ranking female officer, with a thick cloak in her hand, walked over and put it on the man.
"Why are you here?" the queen turned to meet four pairs of concerned eyes.
She looked at the cloak she had just put on her quilt, she was stunned for a moment, and then slightly annoyed: "I told them a long time ago, don't tell you, they dare to disobey my orders!"
"Your Majesty, if it wasn't for those maids to tell us, you don't care who said it, as the king of a country, how can you be so careless about your body?" said the high-ranking lady who had dressed the queen just now.
"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter what happens, your safety is paramount, isn't it? If something happens to you, then the whole kingdom will be in chaos, and you don't want that to happen, do you?" continued the other senior officer.
The eyes of the four of them, both concerned and slightly reproachful, fell on them, making the queen's irritable mood more and more restless.
The other party's counterattack really began. The queen turned around irritably, walked towards the window, and said as she went: "Romon has already begun to act, and almost all of the people we have planted in the Kingdom of Eske have been cleared out by him, so if we go on like this, when we do it again, it is estimated that the target will be us! A large-scale conflict is coming, how can you let me feel at ease?"
"Your Majesty..."
"I've been wondering, if I hadn't been the enemy of him again and again, would this have happened?" Walking to the window and looking at the not-so-bright moon outside, the queen sighed and said: "But I don't regret it, what I regret is why I didn't be more decisive back then, and sent the strongest force to wipe him out at one time." β
She really regretted it, when she dealt with Luo Meng, she really didn't expect that one day, Luo Meng would become so strong, she always thought that she had a chance to kill the other party before it became stronger, but ......
"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself too much, things have come to this point, which no one could have predicted at the beginning. After a moment of silence, one of the high-ranking ladies stepped forward and comforted the queen.
"You don't have to comfort me, now that things have come to this point, we also have our own hole cards. The queen smiled, turned around, and looked at the four women behind her: "As long as he dares to step into the ice and snow kingdom, as long as he dares to cross the line, he will definitely not be able to escape this time." β
In the past few days, I have gathered some ministers, some of them said that they would send people to negotiate peace with RomΓ³n, and some said that they would fight to the end, and immediately send troops to give the other side a blow, you are the people I trust the most, and you are also the friends who grew up with me, at this time, I want to hear your views. β
None of the four high-ranking female officers spoke for a moment, and the queen said a little strangely: "Why, don't you want to say? or is there nothing to say? You seem to have been in support of the battle all along, right?"
"Your Majesty, in fact, the four of us have discussed this matter today, and after the discussion, we suddenly feel that the previous idea is actually a little wrong, judging from the strength of both sides now, we all feel that it is not easy to take the initiative to send troops to blame Luo Meng. A senior female officer stepped forward and spoke on behalf of the other three.
"Tell me your reasons. The queen didn't think it was strange, and she didn't even change her expression, she just said lightly.
A senior female official explained: "After we discussed, I felt that at this time, whether in terms of reputation or strength, today's Luo Meng is much stronger than us, but it is precisely because of this that he is bound to take more things into account, a person in such a position, although he has great strength, there are more factors to worry about, as long as we don't take the initiative, he can't do anything about us."
"Oh?" the queen listened more attentively.
"Although the strongholds we have planted in the Kingdom of Eske have been wiped out one by one, but may I ask you, which country has not set up a stronghold in other countries? This cannot be a reason for him to attack us at all, although we have had a grudge with him before, but we are the ones who suffer, right? Now, he has been crowned, and his words and deeds will be concerned by the major forces on the mainland, as long as we don't give him a reason to attack, he can only stop here. Another senior female officer added: "If we do it now, we will give him an excuse." β
"You have a point. Hearing this, the original irritable mood gradually calmed down. The queen nodded, and when she thought about it, it was really the case.
Although Romon now has a higher status, he has more things to worry about.
As long as their side does not move, the other party will not be able to move.
Thinking of this, the queen finally smiled, and her mood improved.
"Yes, that's true, as long as we hold still, what can he do? β
"We don't take the initiative to take a stand," he can't help it. However, this is not a long-term solution, and we can only do it first, and then we can do it before we think of other solutions. The senior female officer said.
"It seems that this is the only way to go. The queen nodded.
"Your Majesty, now that you have a way, you have to take care of your body, don't do it again. After putting forward the queen's worst fears for a temporary solution, the senior lady once again reminded bitterly.
The queen was in a much better mood at this time, and she also felt that this place was a little cold, she nodded: "Don't worry, I won't do this again." Actually, I came here in the past two days, but I just felt that the environment here was cold, suitable for thinking about things, since you don't agree with me coming here to think about things, then I will come less in the future. βz
