At the gate of the palace, Lingjing looked at Shangguan Yan's phoenix drive from a distance, and drove over, Lingjing respectfully moved, Shangguan Yan under the white veil, glanced at Lingjing with a disdainful look, and Ao Rao walked out of the palace gate.

The maid beside Lingjing cried out for Lingjing, "Princess, this queen mother has never been about to look at us, it sounds like a princess, but who in this palace treats us as human beings?" ”

"When it's not so important, it's not important to be right."

Lingjing's face faded from a hippie smile at this time, with a calm and mature atmosphere, and turned around and walked towards the harem.

In the Zining Palace, Jiang Yao was still sleeping on the bed, her face was still flushed, Duan Jingyan walked in softly, and gently swept her hair over Jiang Yao's face. Jiang Yao felt the itch, scratched her face and said, "Jing Yan, don't make trouble, go to sleep again...... Yes. ”

Duan Jingyan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly: "There is news from the border that the mountain and river iron cavalry has been cut off from the supply of grain and grass for two days. ”

"Hmmm......"

Jiang Yao responded in a daze, but immediately sat up, stared at Duan Jingyan with wide eyes and asked, "What?" What did you say? ”

Duan Jingyan stroked Jiang Yao's hair and said: "There is no food and grass anymore, and the iron-blooded generals of the mountains and rivers have no bloody nature to fight now, which is a taboo for soldiers." ”

Jiang Yao began to panic in her heart, thinking that the mountains and rivers had been riding for so many years, fighting on the battlefield for Nan'an, but now she was trapped because of grain and grass, she clutched the brocade quilt in a panic, and immediately got out of bed and put on her clothes.

"No, the widow wants to go to the court, the ministers in the court must be panicked, and the widow still has to preside over the overall situation."

"I have been sent away, even if you go to the court at this time, it is useless, and now the life and death of the mountains and rivers are not in your hands."

Jiang Yao's hand was buttoned for a moment, and she turned to look at Duan Jingyan's categorical words, which was determined to force Shangguan Yan to give up all his reputation and admit his mistakes in front of all countries.

"And in the hands of the Queen Mother, as long as he agrees to my conditions, I will let go of the mountains and rivers."

And Shangguan Yan is such a proud person, how can he easily admit defeat so easily......

Jiang Yao immediately sat opposite Duan Jingyan, looked at his handsome face, clenched his hand, and said, "Jingyan, I beg you, the mountains and rivers iron horse is the treasure of Nan'an Kingdom, please don't really let them die." ”

"I didn't let them die, I gave the Queen Mother a choice, this is the price she must pay, otherwise she can't calm the anger of the countries, how can she calm down and unify?"

Duan Jingyan withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Yao soothingly, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes, with the ruthlessness of being an emperor.

"If the queen mother doesn't agree, will the mountains and rivers really die?"

Duan Jingyan looked at Jiang Yao and didn't answer, but she knew that the existence of the Mountain and River Iron Horse was always a threat, but now that she was hungry, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to last long.

If you think about it from another perspective, she is Zhou Anguo's side and Duan Jingyan. Even if he loves Jiang Yao again, he will not joke about national events.

But now that the days are passing day by day, she really can't open her eyes and watch the mountains and rivers so embarrassed.

She looked at the coldness in Duan Jingyan's eyes, her heart was also cold, and she slowly walked out holding on to the door frame, Liu Shangyi watched Jiang Yao come out in despair, and immediately stepped forward to support her.

Wanxi had already waited anxiously under the corridor, watching Jiang Yao come out, with red eyes, kneeling on the ground, begging: "Emperor, please save the mountains and rivers, they are all soldiers, they should not be treated like this!" ”

Wanxi prostrate on the ground, kowtowing to Jiang Yao, Liu Shangyi is also difficult to speak.

Jiang Yao took a deep breath and asked, "Liu Shangyi, how much grain is left in the treasury?" ”

"There are less than 800 stones."

"All sent to the border."

Jiang Yao looked at a certain place in the courtyard, and his eyebrows wrinkled uncomfortably. Wanxi's kneeling body immediately straightened up, looking at her in disbelief, an emperor has already saved his own food, but it is a drop in the bucket for 200,000 soldiers.

Liu Shangyi hesitated: "But if the emperor sends it out, I'm afraid there will be no food in this palace, not to mention that it's not enough, how can the emperor have three meals a day......

"If you want to go, you will go!"

Liu Shangyi looked at him, as if he remembered something, and said: "Now that it has been surrounded by the Liang family's army, this grain can't be transported." ”

At this time, Jing Yan had already walked out when she heard the voice, and sighed, Jiang Yao will always be the first to compromise in the game, because she can't let go of the choice of life and death, whether it is good or bad.

Jiang Yao glanced at Duan Jingyan behind him, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, the widow wants to send someone to deliver a grain truck, will you Zhou Anguo let it go?" ”

Liu Shangyi and Wanxi looked at Duan Jingyan one after another, Duan Jingyan walked over, put his arm around Jiang Yao's shoulder, and asked her forehead

"Ah Yao, do you believe me? A-Yao shouldn't worry about these things. ”

"But now, as the king of a country in Nan'an, the widow can't watch his soldiers starve to death in the canyon before they fight, which is a shame."

"A-Yao, that bit of food is far from enough."

Wanxi looked at Duan Jingyan's eyes, sneered and wiped a handful of tears and knelt straight, she bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Duan Jingyan and Jiang Yao with complicated eyes. Now that he is approaching step by step, everyone can't let him loosen up a bit.

"The emperor, the emperor, the slaves and maids have something to ask for today, and I ask the emperor to agree."

Wanxi is rarely so serious, that little girl who is not afraid of heaven and earth, sometimes crazy and sometimes happy, but now she is standing in front of her with red eyes and tears in her eyes.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The mountains and rivers iron cavalry was originally a treasure hidden in the mountains, but now it has been exchanged for the struggle between countries, and it has become a blade under the princely generals, and General Wu is willing to return to seclusion in exchange for the food and clothing of 200,000 soldiers. Replacing the peace of the two countries, the mountains and rivers have decided to retreat to the mountains and forests after the war. ”

Jiang Yao didn't expect Wu Zheng to make such a decision at all, Duan Jingyan's deep eyes were deep, and he was already measuring.

He threw it at Wanxi with a cold and domineering hand, and said gently: "What are you going to eat with Tieqi tonight." ”

Wanxi looked down and saw that it was Duan Jingyan's token in her hand, she trembled, tears fell from her eyes excitedly, and she thanked: "Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie!" ”

Liu Shangyi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Wanxi, hurry up." ”

Wanxi stood up, looked at Jiang Yao, who wanted to speak and stopped, turned around and ran out.

"A-Yao, I'm satisfied"

Duan Jingyan's voice remembered in Jiang Yao's ears and temples, Jiang Yao's heart was uncomfortably tight, she turned around and entered the hall, she thought that she could really spare everything to maintain peace and complete reunification.

Unexpectedly, what is being released now is the lives of the mountains and rivers and the hearts of the people of Nan'an.

If you ask her if it hurts?

How can she not be painful, she can't forget the people's tolerance and love for her, because of her joyful appearance when she ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty, did you say that the widow did something wrong?"

"I have given you the world, and from now on you will be the greatest king under the earth, enjoying the supreme glory."

"The widow doesn't want those, the emperor can promise the widow that he won't die again, okay?"

Jiang Yao turned around and looked at Duan Jingyan pleadingly, seeing the flickering in his eyes, Duan Jingyan said in a low voice after a long time: "Okay, I will answer you." ”
