Chapter 1455 Crack

Tomorrow?

The old emperor, who was still analyzing the power relationship for Zhao Qi, suddenly got stuck and was stunned.

He came here today to persuade Zhao Qi to leave for Tianji Kingdom as soon as possible, but it was difficult for him to say it. On the one hand, he hoped that Zhao Qi would leave earlier, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Zhao Qi would blame him, so he really thought of a lot of excuses.

Now, hearing Zhao Qi say this, he felt relieved and secretly felt guilty.

"Qier, in fact, father..."

"Father, you don't need to say it, I understand." Zhao Qi said: "Father, my daughter is a little tired and wants to rest. The dowry still needs your concern."

The old emperor looked at Zhao Qi with an indifferent face, and felt uncomfortable. He felt alienated from Zhao Qi's expression and words. This was an emotion that had never appeared between the two before. This emotion made the old emperor feel quite unfamiliar, and at the same time, his heart was aching.

But the old emperor knew that some things were said and said, and some things could not be undone. The father-daughter relationship between him and Zhao Qi had already had a crack, a crack that could not be repaired.

"Okay, Qi'er, you have a good rest, and your father will leave first." The old emperor still said to Zhao Qi in a gentle tone.

"Farewell, father." Zhao Qi did not act like a spoiled child with the old emperor as she did in the past, but bowed to the old emperor quite formally.

The old emperor felt a pain in his heart when he saw this, and wanted to reach out to help, but he retracted his hand halfway, sighed softly, and then left the pavilion.

After the old emperor left, Zhao Qi raised her head, and her beautiful and delicate face was already covered with tears again. She looked at the old emperor and watched him leave, with a very sad look in her eyes.

Although Zhao Qi is naive, it does not mean that she is stupid. On the contrary, her mind is very flexible and smart. She knows the meaning of the old emperor's words just now. At the same time, she also knows the old emperor's plan in his heart. Although Zhao Qi has been telling herself that her father did this only for the sake of the overall situation, after all, she has agreed to the marriage, so she naturally has to maximize the benefits of this matter.

But even if she understands this truth, Zhao Qi still feels very uncomfortable. She only understands at this time that in the royal family, family affection is indeed a very luxurious thing. In the face of interests, family affection is not worth mentioning at all.

However, Zhao Qi did not resent the old emperor too much. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she was glad that she had been able to enjoy the love of her father for more than ten years before, and now it was time for her to repay her father.

However, she was going to leave tomorrow, and Zhao Qi was reluctant to leave. She couldn't bear to leave her country, her father, and Wu Fan.

But now, everything has been destined, and she has no other way except to accept it.

On the other side, in Tianji, which is very far away from Yanfeng, in the palace, the emperor of Tianji and his ministers were discussing matters, and the content of their discussion was the letter from the old emperor of Yanfeng agreeing to the marriage.

The emperor of Tianji was younger than the old emperor of Yanfeng, but a few years older than the emperor of Shuiyue. The emperor of Tianji saw clearly the crisis in the court of Yanfeng and the successor. In order to avoid such a crisis in his own court after he got old, he started planning early.

The most important part of this plan was to ask Yanfeng for a marriage.

The monarchs and ministers of Tianji were very clear about the situation in Yanfeng: the emperor was old and sick, the princes were mediocre and incompetent, and the rebels were everywhere in the court. The whole Yanfeng felt shaky.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the monarchs and ministers of Tianji were unwilling to give up, so there was this request for a marriage.

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Tianji, the old emperor of Yanfeng would never agree to this marriage. After all, the object of their marriage this time is the second prince, not the crown prince, and the second prince already has a wife. In this case, ordinary people cannot accept it, let alone the emperor of a superpower like the old emperor.

Once the old emperor of Yanfeng refuses to marry, Tianji will have an excuse to send troops to attack Yanfeng, and take advantage of the moment when Yanfeng is worried about internal and external troubles to take down Yanfeng in one fell swoop!

Of course, Yanfeng is a superpower after all, and even if Yanfeng is now in internal and external troubles, it is not really vulnerable. In order to ensure that Yanfeng can be destroyed in one fell swoop, the monarchs and ministers of Tianji decided to join forces with Shuiyue.

In the past, such an alliance may not be realized. After all, superpowers are in a competitive relationship, and it is difficult to work together. Even if Shuiyue agrees to the alliance, Tianji may not be able to rest assured.

But now it is different. Now Yanfeng Kingdom is in turmoil. The people of Tianji Kingdom can see this, and I believe that the people of Shuiyue Kingdom can also see this. I believe that the people of Shuiyue Kingdom will not be willing to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In this way, the two sides have a basis for cooperation.

Although the process of forming an alliance has some setbacks, the result is still satisfactory.

However, just when Tianji Kingdom was mobilizing its troops and preparing to attack Yanfeng Kingdom, the emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom sent a letter.

Originally, the people of Tianji Kingdom thought that the emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom sent a letter to explicitly refuse the marriage and to give them a reason to send troops. However, the content of the letter was far beyond the expectations of the monarchs and ministers of Tianji Kingdom:

The emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom actually agreed to the marriage, and the marriage partner was his most beloved seventh princess!

If they hadn't seen the seal of Yanfeng Kingdom at the end of the letter, the emperor and ministers of Tianji Kingdom would have even suspected that the letter was forged by someone else.

After confirming the authenticity of the letter, the emperor and ministers of Tianji Kingdom were in a dilemma.

"You all know the content of the letter. Tell me what you think." Tianji Emperor Siwu Dongqi said to the ministers in the hall.

This...

The ministers of Tianji Kingdom did not answer their emperor's words immediately. They had just learned the content of the letter, but their minds were still in a state of surprise.

After a while, everyone reacted.

"Your Majesty, I think the words of the Emperor of Yanfeng are not credible! He is deliberately stalling for time."

"Yes, everyone knows that the Emperor of Yanfeng loves his Seventh Princess the most, and he will never marry her to a distant place."

"I think the words of the Emperor of Yanfeng are quite credible. Everyone knows the current situation of Yanfeng. Even if he loves the Seventh Princess, in the face of the safety of the entire court, that little bit of family affection is not worth mentioning."

"Your Majesty, I have the same idea. The Emperor of Yanfeng has surrendered. He knows the situation facing his country. It can be said that he made a wise decision."

The ministers of Tianji said one after another.
