Goodbye, Your Majesty

This was also a reward for her help, but she didn't say the rest of the words out loud. However, she knew that she understood what he meant.

Before long, a palace maid came to invite her over. The Empress had returned, and Shangguan Qian and Yi Shan looked at each other, thinking that they had worked hard, and had not even a shred of peace.

Upon entering, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but be surprised. Other than the Queen, there wasn't a single palace maid serving him. It seemed that this time, the odds were against him.

"Qian'Er greets the empress."

He messed up all the random thoughts in his mind and saluted. The empress then helped him up and brought him to the side of the bed to sit down.

"Qian'Er, I only called you here to have a heart to heart talk. You'd better not be too polite."

The Queen patted the back of her hand, saying with a loving look on her face, but Shangguan Qian's heart was clear as a mirror. This was just the opening words of their conversation, and the rest of it was useless even if they were to be overly courteous.

However, he still lowered his head and nervously smiled as he responded.

Her gaze was fixated on the armor in her hands. It was pure gold in color, and on it were carved rich peonies. This was normal, but it was still there. She could smell a scent that did not belong to it, the smell of medicine.

Shangguan Qian had always been sensitive to odors, he could detect even the tiniest of odors. Although the Queen had a faint scent of lily, she could still smell the medicinal scent of the armour.

She didn't know pharmacology but she could distinguish the smell. The smell of the two drugs was very different, obviously it was the emperor's medicine but why did it touch the armor?

A thought suddenly flashed through Shangguan Qian's mind, his head lowered and his face dark, but he did not move at all.

At this moment, she had two guesses. The first was that the empress had told the emperor about Xiao Gui's idea of poisoning him, but the emperor didn't believe it at all.

The other possibility was that the emperor didn't agree to send reinforcements to the eighth prince, while the empress was somewhat agitated and distressed, overturning the medicine bowl.

No matter what the situation was, the empress would be in a terrible mood right now. As for him, he might accidentally hit the muzzle of a gun.

With this thought in mind, Shangguan Qian stopped speaking carelessly and allowed the Queen to pull her along. He didn't talk much, just didn't talk about important matters. Shangguan Qian smiled with some apprehension, but he couldn't help but believe his own thoughts even more.

Before long, the empress's face filled with grief. "Qian'er, I'm worried for Ying'er. This time …" "Ai, if I knew it earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let him shoulder the responsibility of this so-called great general. I'm now regretting it …"

Shangguan Qian immediately stopped smiling, his face also filled with grief, but he did not know what to do. This change in attitude was rather suitable.

When the empress saw her like this, the displeasure in her eyes faded, replaced with a look of helplessness. "Qian'er, this is a major battle between two armies. I'm afraid that the emperor won't agree so easily to send reinforcements.

There was no hint of disrespect on Shangguan Qian'er's face, but he couldn't help but slander him inwardly. He had obviously been rejected directly, and he had even said it with such uncertainty.

"Empress, Qian'er isn't very knowledgeable about these matters, and he can't help much either. He can only follow and blindly hurry."

Seeing that the Queen had stopped, Shangguan Qian could only continue with a helpless look on his face. He did not dare to say anything else, at least not all of it, only half true and half false.

After a fierce sweep, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but be shocked, but he did not dare slack off in the slightest. This answer of his was probably displeasing to the empress's heart. She was really on fire now, and not on any side at all.

"However, there hasn't been any news about the eighth prince's disadvantage. I'm afraid that nothing will happen to him, not to mention, his majesty is already awake and will soon come up with a plan to deal with the eighth prince."

If that was the case, then there wouldn't be much truth. If the Emperor had a good plan, then he would just come out. After all, Li Qingying was also his own son!

In truth, Shangguan Qian had already thought about how she would deploy the troops if he led the troops himself. Since both armies were evenly matched, the key to victory and defeat lay with the leader.

Even though Li Qingying was young and his martial arts weren't crude, he was still too young after all. Moreover, he probably wouldn't be able to control all of the personal guards of Li Yichen.

At first, it must have been about guarding the country and protecting the family and the country. The people inside were all his family and ancestors' graves, not the so-called Marquis of Ten Thousand. Afterwards, everything had to be done. Physical strength.

After all, fighting was not the same as fighting in the palace. The more considerate a subordinate was, the more he would be able to gain the support and support of those people.

Then, they could try a surprise attack. Since the Turkic army was large and the food supplies were insufficient, it would be the best choice if they could sneak in and burn their food supplies. Unfortunately, there were no personal guards like that.

Moreover, looking at the terrain there, even a fire attack might be considered good. There were so many methods, but Li Qingying actually found the stupidest one, but the most overbearing one. In addition, Li Yichen had also given him some obstacles, so it was impossible for him to not lose.

I hope that Li Fengyi will be able to bear the crime of colluding against an enemy and betraying the country in the future.

Shangguan Qian Shan squinted slightly, the chill in his eyes like a deep pool.

"Qian'Er, if it was you, how would you handle it?"

Seeing Shangguan Qian bowing his head and not saying anything for a while, the Empress still asked lightly, but Shangguan Qian couldn't help but feel a sense of despise towards his. Didn't she say she didn't know anything?

He actually had to ask himself.

"Send troops to the back for a surprise attack." Shangguan Qian'er said as if he hadn't expected this, "This is the one I met recently with my royal brother, Qian'er asked him for advice."

As she finished speaking, she smiled slyly at the empress, who was deep in thought. If she had launched a surprise attack from behind and was focused on dealing with the Turkic soldiers at Profound Ridge Pass, she probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

What a good plan!

As he thought up to this point, he looked at Shangguan Qian with appreciation. Shangguan Qian did not expect that he would make the empress smile so brightly, and immediately felt a burst of regret; they needed an army. If they did not succeed, would they not cut themselves into pieces?

"This is what royal brother thinks. Royal brother has always been so smart. Sigh, if only Qian'Er was this smart as well."

The Empress squinted her eyes and stared at Shangguan Qian'er for a while, but in the end she did not say anything. In truth, she believed Shangguan Qian's words.

She did not deny that Shangguan Qian was very intelligent, but the wisdom of a woman was unable to fight and kill the enemy in the end. Such a seemingly unoriginal fighting style actually hid a mystery behind it, because she had taken unexpected measures.

Just like this, Shang Guanmo recited his good name.

In truth, what Shangguan Qian did not say was that if they mixed in with the Turkic soldiers, the battlefield would be more chaotic, and it would be more advantageous for a surprise attack. Unfortunately, she was too lazy to pay attention to the war between Great Yan Empire and Turkic soldiers.

"But, even if it's a good plan, we still need soldiers, right?"

Looking at the Queen's thoughtful expression, Shangguan Qian'er couldn't help but interrupt his. She didn't believe that Li Yichen would be unable to think of such a simple plan, and that he was only weighing the pros and cons.

The capital had been fortified by the city guards. He was in charge of all the guards. In other words, they were his ace in the hole.

It was true that he loved Li Qingying very much as a brother, but unfortunately, he didn't know how much value this brotherly love actually had.

No matter what, Li Qingying had led the army because of him. Even if he could ignore his friendship, this kind of kindness, although it had always been a source of trouble for his, she was still touched, but that was all.

The empress also sighed helplessly. Looking at her appearance, she probably knew that it wasn't easy to gain military power.

"Empress, Qian'er is young and doesn't know many things. However, Qian'er knows very well that just having troops is not enough. What about the person leading the troops?"

Shangguan Qian always said a few things almost casually, but in truth, she was the one who led the Queen away. Alas, the Queen did not notice anything, and all she could think about was how to get the Emperor to agree to send the army, and how to deal with the leader.

"The Third Prince has both martial and civil powers."

The empress took off the armor on her hands one by one. With a few words, she stated her plan, she would definitely not let the crown prince take the risk, but sending the third prince out to lead the way was different. Sabers and swords had no eyes, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be injured on the battlefield.

The empress's thoughts were very good, but she dared to guarantee that Li Yichen wouldn't agree because the empress overlooked a very important matter. Once military might fell into Li Fengyi's hands, would he still be able to spit it out?

Thus, if they were to send out troops, it was most likely that they would do so. Ninth, Li Yichen led the army. Moreover, even Shangguan Qian had to say, Li Fengyi's move was extremely exquisite. No matter what Li Yichen did, there would be losses, and it was not a small loss at all.

She didn't dare to speak of these matters again, though. She let the empress let her imagination run wild. After a while, the empress revealed a satisfied smile, and her pale face turned red.

"Qian'Er, you can go back first. I will take care of the rest of the matters. You can stay in the palace for the next few days."

As for the reason, Shangguan Qian was also very clear about it. He was afraid that he would leak the information to Li Fengyi, but he did not know why he would mention it to her if he had the skill.

However, this was exactly what Shangguan Qian wanted, so he bowed her head in agreement before walking back with her head lowered. She did not look up, nor did he look back, as she knew very well that the Empress was probably staring at his.

As soon as he entered, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, another big adventure. Unfortunately, when he saw Little Sheng in the room, his smile froze.

The little Sheng was someone close to Ouyang Jin, and at this late hour, he had actually snuck into his room. It was probably something, but was it really Ouyang Jin's intention, or was there something he wanted to say?

Eyewitness took a look behind her at Yishan, who nodded, then walked towards the door, guarding it with a look of undivided concentration.

Little Sheng was rather direct, and after seeing that there was no danger, he could only say to Shangguan Qian, "Princess, please save the Imperial Advisor."
