Yue Luoxue's voice seemed to carry some kind of magic that allowed him to calm down immediately. She had never revealed the negative emotions in her heart, so she almost went berserk when she heard the Emperor of North Qi speaking these words.
With a stiff expression, he nodded at Yue Luoxue, indicating that he was fine, and the two held their breaths, continuing to listen to the two people above.
Generally speaking, they were discussing what benefits Sunscorch Kingdom would bring to the North Qi. The North Qi Plains were vast, but there was not enough food, so they received quite a few promises from the Sunscorch Kingdom. A batch would arrive soon, and the rest were discussing how to frame the Duke Palaces.
Tuoba Hong no longer held any military power in the military camp, but the prestige that the Battle King Manor's generations had accumulated was still there. Many of the families of generals were more or less related to the Battle King Manor, some were even dead loyal.
For example, General Baller, who was still in the border trial and was under the control of the Battle King for almost every generation, had a particularly close relationship with the War King's manor.
Therefore, they had plotted against Baltic and Sunscorch Kingdom, and also plotted all of this towards Tuoba Hong. Because of the military power being taken away, Tuoba Hong's heart was filled with anger, he had sold out the entire country, and he had schemed to rebel.
At the same time, all sorts of arrangements were made in the capital city. In short, after the news of Balhler's rebellion arrived from the front lines, it would be the time when the Battle King Manor would receive a bloody disaster.
Yue Luoxue became more and more shocked the more she heard about it. She had thought that this would take at least three months to complete, and just listening to the meaning of the North Qi Emperor, it seemed that one month was more than enough. What did this mean?
After their initial anger, Tuoba Hong remained silent. It wasn't until the two of them had finished listening to their conversation that he laughed at himself and said, "Actually, before coming here, I still had some fantasies. The Battle King Manor has been loyal for generations.
Although Yue Luoxue could not empathize with him, she knew that there was a huge difference between the current era's loyal supporters and the traitors. It was normal for Tuoba Hong to have this kind of reaction.
"Then what do you plan to do? It would be best for General Balfour to make a decision earlier. I believe that the Battle King Manor is a part of the army. It shouldn't be so lacking in power, right?"
Yue Luoxue deliberately used a relaxed tone. Although the Battle King's Palace was loyal, they would definitely train their trusted aides, and seizing the throne, the army was the key. Otherwise, if you go alone, even if you killed the emperor, you wouldn't be able to become the emperor.
Tuoba Hong did not look relaxed at all. "You're right, the Battle King's Mansion has its own system in the army, so it can be said that they have a huge power. But since Royal Father has the command medallion to mobilize that portion of the army, I can only use those that I have cultivated myself."
Yue Luoxue was a little curious. Her previous relationship with the Battle-King was a little unusual, "Since it is in the hands of the Battle-King, is it very difficult to obtain it?"
Tuoba Hong sighed: "Royal father will not rebel, he is loyal to the North Qi Imperial Family, or more accurately speaking, it is loyal to someone within the Imperial Family."
Yue Luoxue was a little stunned, she could not help but be curious about who that person was. From Tuoba Hong's tone, she knew that person could not be the emperor, but she was still someone from the imperial family, who could it be?
Tuoba Hong took a glance at Yue Luoxue, and a bitter look flashed past his eyes as he said: "Royal Father loves a woman. He promised that woman, who will always help her royal brother guard the mountains and rivers of North Qi."
This time, Yue Luoxue finally understood. The Battle King liked the princess, who was willing to sacrifice his family for the sake of a beauty.
"Could it be that the Battle King will just watch as the Battle King's Mansion gets framed?" Yue Luoxue kept feeling that there was a limit to this infatuation.
Tuoba Hong shook his head, "Of course he can. In his heart, the Battle King Palace, me, mufei, and Yu'er are nothing at all."
Yue Luoxue felt that this Battle King was really infatuated with him, but was also selfishly infatuated with him. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"I used to hate him, but now I don't. I can't believe he can understand me." Tuoba Hong laughed bitterly. Even though he was inferior to his father, disregarding his family and relatives for a woman, he knew that for Yue Luoxue, he could lose his life.
"Oh, actually, it wasn't easy for the Battle-King either." Yue Luoxue sighed, then said: "Tuoba Hong, I'll go see the Battle-King tomorrow, maybe he will take out his order badge."
The alliance was not something that could be completed overnight, especially with the strong power. Yue Luoxue had wanted to use the reputation of the Battle King's Manor, but she did not expect there to be such a convenient force to use, so she naturally could not let it go.
When that time comes, there would be troops outside the city, and the inner palace would be in turmoil, so the Emperor of North Qi would have even less bargaining chips. Of course, one had to be wary of Sunscorch Kingdom taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, as an army was definitely a part of it.
When Yue Luoxue returned to her room, she saw Qinghuan sitting beside her bed, swinging her legs under the moonlight. She looked at him with a little resentment, "Master, you really value your beauty over your friends.
Yue Luoxue laughed helplessly, and waved his hand: "Come here, I'll give you something to do.
However, Yue Luoxue allowed her to familiarize herself with the appearances of the few important masters in the Duke Palaces. She also made a few good human skin masks, and also picked out a suitable substitute.
"Master, you want to trade for the crown prince?" Qing Huan opened his mouth in shock.
Yue Luoxue said: "What kind of lewd cat for a crown prince, all I need is a few substitute bodies, Tuoba Yu's body is weak, and the Battle-King is like that, I have to send him out, this way I can hide from others' eyes, time is of the essence, I have to do this."
Qing Huan stretched lazily and said, "No problem. But Mistress, it's already the middle of the night. Are you still not going to sleep? I've been waiting for you for the whole night."
After saying that, she came over to hug Yue Luoxue again. Yue Luoxue let her hug him and then let her off with a laugh, "Alright, I'm already full. Master should rest well, I'll watch the night for you and figure out who's suitable to be your substitute."
The next day, Yue Luoxue and Tuoba Yu went to see the Battle-King Tuoba Hu together. Tuoba Yu was very happy along the way, and hoped that her royal father's body could be treated as well.
Yue Luoxue felt a tinge of regret as she looked at the man lying on the bed. His limbs had started to shrivel from lying in bed for so long, but it could be seen that he had once been a tall man. His features were similar to Tuoba Hong's.
royal father, this is the doctor that big brother found for me. Let me tell you, she is a disciple of the Godly Doctor. Tuoba Yu happily sat beside Tuoba Hu.
Yue Luoxue thought back to what Tuoba Hong had said last night. Tuoba Hu knew the reason behind his daughter's poison, and the sympathy in his heart once again became indifferent.
Tuoba Hu was devoted, but also ruthless. If he was truly devoted, then why would he marry the current wangfei and even give birth to a child? However, he did not care about the life or death of the child.
Tuoba Hu completely ignored Tuoba Yu, and looked towards Yue Luoxue instead. "Go back and tell Tuoba Hong, I won't give him what he wants."
Yue Luoxue smiled and put the medicine box on the side. "Your Highness wanted me to treat the Duke."
Although he could not move, his demeanor and killing intent from childhood were still present. His gaze was also extremely terrifying, but when Yue Luoxue calmly looked at him, Tuoba Hu was very surprised. Where did her son get such a doctor?
"Na La, take your Miss to the warm pavilion next door to rest first. I want to help His Highness clear his meridians with acupuncture." Yue Luoxue glanced at Tuoba Yu's servant girl.
Now that Tuoba Yu had said what she wanted to say, Tuoba Yu stood up naturally and charmingly, as she said to Tuoba Hu: "Royal father, I'll go wait next door. If you feel uncomfortable, just call us."
Unfortunately, Tuoba Hu still did not look at her. Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of injury as she left together with the maid Na La.
Very quickly, only Tuoba Hu and Yue Luoxue were left in the room. Tuoba Hu let out a cold laugh and said, "Speak, what did he ask you to do?!"
Just what kind of person did Tuoba Hu think Tuoba Hong was? His father was already drunk from being at this stage, so Yue Luoxue laughed coldly, "Your Highness, you guessed wrong. I actually came over myself."
Tuoba Hu's expression changed: "Who exactly are you?"
Yue Luoxue only laughed, it wasn't worth it for Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Hong, the Battle-King, was different from what she had imagined.
"I don't care who you are, but don't even think about taking the token from me!" Tuoba Hu understood in his heart. With his current appearance, the only thing that would make anyone take a fancy to him was the command token.
Yue Luoxue sighed: "My prince, the promise you made at that time was to protect other people's land for your entire life, not including after death right?"
Tuoba Hu's face flashed with shock. Seeing that Yue Luoxue's eyes did not have any killing intent, he said: "You want to kill me?"
"I have this idea, but I know that my prince has a way to prevent me from finding the token, so I've decided to make a deal with him."
Yue Luoxue spoke very slowly and Tuoba Hu's expression gradually changed. He sneered: "Do you think this king will agree?"
"If you won't take out the medallion for that woman, I think you'll agree." Yue Luoxue said with certainty, with a face full of determination.
Tuoba Hu's eyes flashed a few times: "What do you mean?"
Yue Luoxue smiled, her red lips slightly parted: "Didn't you already guess that? I can bring back the person you miss every day. "
Tuoba Hu's eyes suddenly widened. He had only thought that this matter would be related to 'her'. He just did not expect this girl to know about it so clearly!
Everyone knew that Qing'er had died eleven years ago. Even Emperor Tuoba Han didn't know that Qing'er had not actually died, but had instead been poisoned by a poison called 'Drunk or Dreaming'. If the poison couldn't be cured, Qing'er would never wake up again.
How did this teenage girl know?
After the initial shock, Tuoba Hu even felt a chill run down his spine. If she wanted his token, perhaps she could use some other method.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this deal?" Yue Luoxue looked at the change in the Battle King's expression and sighed in his heart.
Tuoba Hu looked at Yue Luoxue. This girl was young, but her eyes carried an aura that could not be ignored: "You … Is it really possible? "
Yue Luoxue nodded her head: "Your Highness, it is best for you to answer quickly, because not long from now, the Battle King's Palace will be executed on the crime of defying the rules."
Tuoba Hu's pupils suddenly widened. "I don't believe that the emperor would go up against the Duke Palaces in such a manner!"
"I'm just negotiating the terms with you. You can just tell me if you are willing or not. As for whether you believe me or not, I think that Prince can wait. There's not much time left anyway."
With that, Yue Luoxue stood up. "Battle King, think carefully before you inform me."
"Wait!" When Yue Luoxue walked to the door, Tuoba Hu could not help but stop her.
