"Chen, Tallulah—calm down!"

Chen Qi stopped the second daughter, and met the second daughter's puzzled and worried eyes, he slowly shook his head.

The second daughter understood immediately when they saw this, and just as they hesitated, the guards at the side had already confiscated their weapons and escorted the second daughter away.

And Chen Qi was also taken away alone. He, Chen Huijie and Talula were probably going to be locked up in different places...

……

In the middle of the night, even the imperial palace has begun to enter the quiet time period.

But at this time, the room where Chen Qi was temporarily placed under house arrest suddenly opened without warning.

Chen Qi raised his head slightly, and after a burst of light, he could only see the figure of the Empress looking down at him.

"...the doctor of Rhodes Island, you are so brave. Could it be that I was calm at the time, and I must cut off your tongue to apologize."

"You are the first one to dare to humiliate me under the eyes of everyone."

The empress said so, glanced at the surrounding environment, frowned slightly and said, "Why is this place so small? They won't find a spacious and comfortable place?"

"... After all, I was pushed over here, and now I am not a guest, so naturally I don't have such a good treatment." Chen Qi shrugged helplessly, thinking that he and Chen Huijie and the others ate four dishes at first. Yitang, after arriving here, the meat buns were delivered, and I felt that the difference in treatment was a bit too big.

But to be honest, it would be nice to have meat buns, and Chen Qi wasn't complaining.

"I didn't come here this time to listen to your gossip."

And the empress finally found a place to sit down. After she came to Chen Qi's bed and sat down, she still maintained a domineering attitude and asked Chen Qi:

"The doctor of Rhodes Island deliberately made me angry, but to speak in private. Presumably, you still have more words to say."

"Now, it's time to speak freely. It's really okay to say, no matter what you say, I won't blame you."

"However, if you can't convince me, then I will have to reconsider."

——In fact, it is not persuasion, the Empress just wants to see if Chen Qi's talent is worthy of her trust.

The Empress has not yet made up her mind whether she should help Rhodes Island or not.And the criterion of whether this should be a gang or not depends on whether Chen Qi can grasp it.

Now the empress' meaning is very clear, and the rest depends on whether Chen Qi can grasp it.

Chapter 257 Chapter 254: The Queen's Choice

"Your Majesty, please allow me to ask a question."

Chen Qi got up slowly, and asked the empress, "Your Majesty, are you afraid of Ursas's legion?"

"...I can't answer this question."

However, faced with Chen Qi's sharp question, the Empress slowly closed her eyes, and she seemed a little shaken at this moment with an expressionless face.

"I am Emperor Dayan, I will not answer this question unless you want to force me to die."

"……I understand."

Chen Qi paused slightly when he heard the words, and then immediately understood the key point of this question, so he immediately chose to change the way of asking.

"Your Majesty, don't you know His Majesty's name?"

"—Bold, you are only the brains of a mere powerful force, yet you dare to ask my name?"

The empress pretended to be angry, but looking at Chen Qi's seemingly determined appearance, the empress did not keep the anger on her face for long, and asked, "What does this have to do with what we are going to talk about?"

Could her name and beauty be enough to repel the Ursus army?Even if she could, the empress wouldn't do this. As the king of a country, what's the matter with showing off in front of the two armies?

She is not the kind of useless emperor, nor is she a useless emperor who can compose a poem when his wife is raped by barbarians.She would rather die than surrender.

"Naturally it is related." Chen Qi insisted.Seeing this, the empress was silent for a long time before she said lightly:

"I can't tell you my real name for the time being, but my current name is Wu Xiaomei."

"Don't make fun of my name, I know it's a weird name, but it's a name given by my parents and cannot be refuted."

"I see." Chen Qi nodded, and then continued to speak:

"Then, let's put aside the identity of the emperor for the time being—excuse me, Ms. Wu Xiaomei, are you afraid of Ursus?"

"..."

The empress was silent.To be precise, it was Wu Xiaomei who fell silent.

She didn't know how to answer the question, or she was just being asked.

As an empress, she can't answer this question, but at this moment, if she abandons her identity, how...how should she answer?

"... Doctor of Rhodes Island, do you know, I... no, why am I so unwilling to pay attention to your matter?"

Empress... Wu Xiaomei got up slowly at this moment, she got up with a tired sigh and said to Chen Qi:

"The evaluation of me by the imperial court is extremely polarized. Those old officials think that I have come to this day by eliminating political enemies. They think it is absurd for a woman to become emperor, but they just lack the strength to stand up and refute it."

"Those who are close to me think that I am holy, that I am planning thousands of miles away, even the emperor of the Wei family at that time did not know my city, and just treated me like an ordinary concubine."

"Even, she never even pampered me once."

"Doctor of Rhodes Island, do you think I am a sage or a fool?"

Wu Xiaomei turned her head to look at Chen Qi, but facing this question, Chen Qi didn't know what to say and just kept silent.

What the empress said made Chen Qi feel very familiar.Isn't this what he felt when he lost his memory?

"—Let me tell you, the doctor who really managed to plan a decisive victory in Rhodes Island thousands of miles away."

"I know that I, I, am actually pretty mediocre."

The moment she uttered these words, the empress's originally tall waist seemed to have dropped, and the nobility and majesty she had always maintained was swept away at this moment.

It's like...a little girl who has no majesty at all, and can be seen everywhere except for her beautiful face—Chen Qi doesn't know how old the Empress is, but in his opinion, the Empress is indeed very young.

"I'm not born to be an emperor... You may not believe it, when I came to the palace, I didn't think about being an emperor, I just wanted to protect myself."

"I didn't intend to get involved in the harem battle. The emperor doesn't favor me, and I'm happy to do so. I don't have any feelings for him. He probably doesn't even know my name for me."

"Doctor of Rhodes Island, I am not you, you have the right to choose, but I have no choice in order to survive."

"—Seizing power is the best way I know to protect myself."

Speaking of this, the Queen's tone was so helpless, she tiredly found a seat and sat down again, but this time, her posture was much more slack.

"Some people say that I am holy, and some people say that I am stupid...they are all right."

"I'm a little more sage than them, but to be an emperor, where the sage is not enough, you have to be comprehensive. In this regard, I am indeed quite stupid."

"Doctor of Rhodes Island, do you know why I haven't revealed my secrets since I seized power? What do I rely on?"

Saying this, the empress looked at Chen Qi again, and before Chen Qi could speak, she asked and answered herself:

"I rely on 'foresight'."

"I'm not bragging about myself. Doctor of Rhodes Island. In terms of vision alone, I may be farther than you can see."

"I have come to my senses. My current life is tied to this throne and this Yan Kingdom. Both will be prosperous and all will suffer. Therefore, I have to worry."

After the empress finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Chen Qi again, and she said, "But the doctor of Rhodes Island, you are different. I like you, and I understand you. In this regard, I will definitely not let me down."

"Doctor of Rhodes Island, you and Rhodes Island can join the Yan Kingdom. I assure you with the emperor of the Yan Kingdom that you will receive the best treatment in the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom can be your asylum. , you Rhodes Island will be in one day."

"You can even take power. To be honest, I trust you more than those ministers."

"Trust us?" Chen Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked with some surprise: "Why does Your Majesty say this? We are not even from Yan Kingdom?"

"—But you are from Terra." The empress smiled wearily, shaking her head again and again with a wry smile, "I don't know how to explain it, but I believe you."

"What do you think? Doctor of Rhodes Island, as long as you join me, these will be yours."

"And you only need one thing, to help me share my worries."

Saying this, the empress stretched out her palm to Chen Qi again, but this time, the empress was more sincere and urgent.

At this moment, she even forgot that she is an emperor who needs to maintain her majesty. Instead, she is more like a girl who needs to seek shelter.

It's a pity...Chen Qi is not someone who can protect her.

"...Your Majesty, if there is a lack of help, I can recommend someone."

Chen Qi refused the empress's invitation indifferently, and disappointment flashed in the empress' eyes, but she still chose to listen: "Who is it?"

"—Wei Yanwu."

Chen Qi said the name unhurriedly, and facing the empress's somewhat surprised eyes, Chen Qi said: "His ability is obvious to all, if His Majesty can control him, then the war in the north will definitely happen." No worries."

"As for such a rebellious person, Your Majesty, how to tame it depends on your own ability."

Chapter 258 Chapter 255: The arrival of Rhodes Island, the depressed empress

Chen Qi was released, and very soon, he was placed under house arrest by the Empress in the early morning of the first day, and was invited out by eight sedan chairmen before he arrived the next morning.

Chen Huijie and Talula received the same treatment as Chen Qi, but this time, the room assigned to the second daughter was not the same as Chen Qi's room before, which made Chen Qi slightly disappointed, and he still wanted to have a big Sleeping with three people version...

After all, Kelsey and the others will probably be there in a few days. This is the only chance, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by the arrangement of the empress...

However, even though we are separated from Chen and Talula, there are still some advantages. For example, the treatment is much better. Originally, it was standard with four dishes and one soup, but now it has eight dishes and one soup, so it can be upgraded directly. Become a real guest.

Moreover, the empress also gave Chen Qi a privilege in the true sense, "You don't need to salute when you see your majesty, you can bring a weapon, and no one will stop you from seeing your majesty at any time."

This is a privilege in the true sense, no matter which country it is placed in, it is an extremely important privilege-it represents the emperor's trust in you.

Don't think that the emperor's trust is simple. It means that you are the existence of the emperor's favor. From the duke to the servants, no one dares to give face to the most trusted person around the emperor.

It's like the secretaries, drivers, or other close people around the big leaders. It seems that their positions are not high, but in fact, some of these people are small leaders who curry favor with them.

And the empress has just come to power not long ago, and now even these cronies and upstarts who were handpicked by the empress herself, no one has gained such power.

But now, an "outsider" actually got the emperor's favor... For a while, the people in the Yan Kingdom's court were whispering, and they were all guessing what happened in the middle to make the empress... Attitudes change so quickly...

Ever since, in the Yan Kingdom Palace, similar rumors began to spread slowly...

"Hey, hey, have you heard? The thing about Dr. Rhode Island..."

"Yeah, His Majesty seems to allow him to have an audience at any time. It seems like he is the first person to have this right?"

"I heard from the maid in the palace that the empress went to the room where the doctor was under house arrest in the middle of the night last night... she came out within a quarter of an hour."

"Half a quarter of an hour? This is too short..."

"What are you thinking! This is disrespectful! Besides, the empress is not the same today..."

"Don't you mean that you also think so?"

——Rumors and rumors like this began to spread among the maids and attendants in the palace, but everyone discussed it slowly in private with an extremely tacit understanding, and resolutely did not spread to the ears of the upper echelon.

However, this is of course just a delusion. Even the maids and servants below know what these ministers don't know?

Compared with the court ladies who just stay in the vulgar matter of men's and women's love, the ministers obviously think more and deeper-not more and deeper in the body, but in other aspects.

Although Wu Xiaomei is indeed the first female emperor in the history of Yan Kingdom, before that, when the emperor had little ability, or when they had great power, they would be born. A special needs occupation called "Mian Shou" was born.

Although throughout the ages, this special profession has been criticized by various guards, and it is difficult for many people to explain it, but it has to be said that this is not a royal scandal, it is a normal demand.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord is also a human being, let alone a woman. Although the "face first" thing sounds a bit ugly, but... it is better than the emperor marrying someone or something.

It is unprecedented for the emperor to marry.At least there is a precedent for Mian Shou, which is much easier to accept.

Moreover, if His Majesty had such a special existence today, many things would be much easier to handle.

First of all, they all know the ability of the doctor of Rhodes Island. To put it a bit too much, none of the generals present dare to say that they have absolute confidence and dare to confront the doctor of Rhodes Island head-on.

After all, their previous achievements were all in front of them. With Rhodes Island's strength, they thought it would be impossible for them to think of a way to defeat the Ursus army.

This is a great talent whose reputation is resounding all over the world.Even the characters they have heard of in Yan Country even appear in Yan Country textbooks and various lectures in military academies. This is simply a mobile deterrent. trembling.

And if His Majesty can really bring such a big talent under his command, a company as big as Rhodes Island will be linked to the Yan Kingdom. This is almost a mobile city + a city where infected people gather for nothing!Simply don't make too much money.

What's more, the doctor's joining Yan Kingdom is also a great deterrent to other countries. Although the face of Yan Kingdom's royal family will be a little bit unfavorable, it is a huge threat to the outside world!

Even His Majesty the doctor of Rhodes Island can surrender, you barren and barbaric lands, wouldn't it be nice to obediently accept the surrender?

good!Very good!The ministers discussed many times in private, and finally made a happy decision - we must support it!

Ever since, under the silent tacit understanding of the ministers and the attendants, extremely strange scenes were staged day by day...
