Chapter 1888: Certain Victory

ould provoke the Crown Prince to anger, and the Crown Prince's rage might lead them both to regret it.But the scene fell silent for a moment, and in the end, Mo Yunchen actually compromised.He looked..."Explain Hmph!"

The Empress let out a cold snort, she didn't even glance at General Li. She then glared at the Imperial Guards who had rushed in, roaring, "What are you all standing there for Quickly drag them down and execute them at once!"

Several guards rushed in and quickly bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Yingwan ran over and pressed Li General down, pulling him up with force and dragging him out.

This General Li was unwilling to die just like that. His body trembled, and he kept shouting, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation, I didn't mean it that way, Your Majesty, please give me a chance to explain, Your Majesty!"

But no matter how he pleaded for mercy, the Empress's face remained grim, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She would not give him a chance to explain.

After the entire palace hall fell silent once again, the empress's face changed, and she suddenly clutched her abdomen, "Quickly, imperial physician, come and take a look at me. My stomach is suddenly in agonizing pain."

"When the Empress said this, the faces of those imperial physicians instantly turned pale. They scrambled to their feet and rushed toward her."

Several people helped the Empress back to her bed. After she lay down, the imperial physician, flustered and sweating profusely, hurriedly took her pulse and checked her condition.

Ultimately, it was determined that the Queen's anger had gotten the better of her, and her emotional instability led to complications with her pregnancy.

They hurriedly knelt and explained to the Empress.

Upon realizing that her own heightened emotions had caused fluctuations in the fetus, she calmed herself.

The Queen took a deep breath and composed herself.

After she lay in bed for a while, she suddenly remembered something. Her sharp eyes narrowed, and she then said to the eunuch beside her:

Go, summon the lord.

The eunuch immediately bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

......

An hour later, Wang the official rushed into the palace.

The Queen had now regained her composure and wrote a letter herself.

I don't know what she said to the Wang official, but when he heard it, his eyes lit up and he quickly nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I shall depart immediately!"

After the King left, the Empress waved her hand, "Fetch me my armor. I shall lead the army myself."

"!" Her words immediately caused the imperial physicians in the room to exchange glances. They quickly knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please think this through."

The Queen, of course, knew what they were thinking; it was simply because she was pregnant now.

At this time, lying in bed and resting would be the right thing to do, but she simply couldn't swallow her pride.

Xi Zi Ke'er's neck and head, she must personally go to take them.

Besides, she was curious to meet this Northern Frontier Princess and find out what made her so remarkable.

She refused to believe it. Could there really be some secret weapon in the hands of that Northern Border Princess, capable of causing hundreds of thousands of soldiers to lose their lives overnight

She stubbornly refused to believe it.

This time, she was going to go and see for herself.

The queen's decision, no matter what those imperial physicians said, couldn't be changed.

And right now, even these imperial physicians dare not speak out.

Given the Empress's temperament, if they dared to utter another word out of place right now, their fate would be no different from that of General Li who had his head chopped off earlier.

In the end, they could only helplessly follow the queen as she went to war.

After all, the queen is now with child, and nothing must go wrong.

As imperial physicians, they could only stay by the empress's side at this time.

……

...while on the other side...

Feng Ming had already set out with Xi Zi Ke'er's soldiers. At this moment, he was riding his horse, leading Xi Zi Ke'er's ten thousand soldiers forward.

He also had several of their brothers who were searching for Tang Gu on either side.

At this, several of Xintang Valley's brothers couldn't help but smile and said to Feng Ming, "Valley Master, don't say that now with your current appearance, paired with this warhorse, you truly look the part, similar to how King of the Northern Border looked when he went on campaign."

“......”

Before Feng Ming could respond, another brother proudly raised an eyebrow, "You see, if our valley master had chosen the warrior path from the start, he would have been no less powerful than the Northern Border King."

One by one, it got worse and worse.

He looked around speechlessly, gave them both a withering glance, and said, "If Atang heard you comparing me, this half-baked swordsman, to her war god of a husband, she'd probably be furious."

His words made Xun Tanggu's several brothers laugh.

Just then, the Xun Tanggu brother who had gone ahead to scout returned on horseback.

He stopped before Feng Ming and bowed, saying, "Valley Master, go two more miles forward, and you'll see where the tens of thousands of soldiers are camped."

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow, "Alright, then we'll proceed as planned. Everyone, hurry up and try to finish everything before nightfall."

Several of the brothers from Xuntang Valley who were with him immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

……

The commotion they caused was considerable, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who originally belonged to Xi Zi Panger were only now settling down for a brief rest after arriving at their camp.

At this moment, a soldier from the front rushed back to report that they had seen Xi Zi Ke'er's army marching towards them.

Upon hearing this, the several generals immediately stood up.

A few people hurried forward a few steps and looked at each other.

One of the generals frowned and spoke, "It looks like this battle is unavoidable."

Another general sighed helplessly, "Isn't that obvious The Emperor has already given the order. Now the entire Xi Liang nation knows that His Highness Ca'er is rebelling. This life-or-death battle is inevitable."

To be honest, they don't want to fight either.

Especially since Your Majesty's army hasn't arrived yet, it's best to have these people lead the charge for now.

Only a fool wouldn't know what His Majesty means.

They were originally under the command of Princess Xizi Pan'er, and His Majesty did not fully trust them.

Even if, in the future, these soldiers were to be integrated with those under His Majesty's command, these commanders would likely have to vie for position against the generals personally appointed by the Empress.

After all, who wouldn't want to be the leader

Who wants to work under someone else

But since these people had once risked their lives for Xi Zi's sister, the Empress naturally couldn't trust them too much, fearing they might betray her.

That's precisely why the Queen had her tens of thousands of soldiers charge ahead this time.

And the tens of thousands of soldiers led by Princess Xizi Ke'er and her forces would be left battered and defeated. By then, the Empress could seize victory as a fisherman profits from others' disputes.

Now, they seem to have no way out.

Apart from a head-on confrontation with the tens of thousands of soldiers under Lady Xizi's command, what else could they do

At this, one of the generals frowned and said, "No matter what, we must meet force with force and water with earth. Since Lord Ke'er's troops have arrived, then we shall just have to face them head-on."

"Both Your Majesties’ hundred thousand troops are on their way, as long as we hold out a little longer, once the Imperial army arrives, this battle will surely be won!"un Si was thinking about how to find that person's hiding place, so he asked me to come over alone. If that person really entered the palace and was secretly watching my every move, he should be able...
