C2311 My Heart Is Dead

Of course, at the same time, the king heaved a sigh of relief. Although he wasn't willing to admit it, this news was obtained from Lu Yizha. It was indeed better than hearing it from someone else.

Lu Yizha wasn't a fool. They had already known about it. There would be a great war between the two sides at the border. Therefore... They will definitely wait until there is a result before continuing the negotiations... Because they are confident in the strength of their own country's army.

Therefore, even if the news on their side hadn't been leaked, those people might not be willing to negotiate with the emissaries of the Fengjue Country.

And this news was obtained from Lu Yizha. Then... In other words, no one else knew about it. This could be considered a blessing in the midst of misfortune. They were already exhausted from facing a Fengjue Country. They felt powerless. If there were more people from other powers... If they knew about this, they were afraid that those powers with ulterior motives... They would definitely not let go of this opportunity. They would definitely come out to cause trouble.

Once that happened, it would only make things worse. Therefore, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty heaved a sigh of relief. Of course, what followed was a sense of humiliation.

When their Great Lu Dynasty was powerful, who were they afraid of? At that time, only the others were afraid of them, not like now. He still had to be wary of the others. Many clowns were jumping around at this moment. They wanted to take advantage of the weakened state of the Great Lu Dynasty to teach it a lesson. In the past, he didn't even put anyone in his eyes. But now... He actually dared to come out and jump around. More importantly... He couldn't do anything to those people. This was really unbearable.

"Royal Brother? Was what Lu Yizha said true? He must be lying to me, right? " Princess Qi looked at her Royal Brother with a look of anticipation and said. She hoped that Royal Brother would speak from her mouth. The answer she wanted.

However, Princess Qi was destined to be disappointed. After her Royal Brother heard her question, he hesitated for a moment and said, "He didn't lie to you. What he said was true. Our troops at the front line of the Great Lu Dynasty were indeed defeated. Furthermore... They were all defeated miserably. It was all because of that Li Yuangu. Zhen believed in him wrongly. He retreated at the last moment, causing the entire army to suffer a crushing defeat. Now... Now, less than one out of three hundred thousand troops had retreated to other cities. The rest had either been killed by the Fengjue Country or captured. Or they went missing. It can be said that this time, our Great Lu Dynasty was truly defeated miserably. "

As the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty spoke, his face revealed a sorrowful expression. In front of those ministers, he would not reveal such an expression, but in front of his Royal Sister, he did not hide it.

It could be said that when he heard the news of the army's defeat, the Emperor of Great Lu Dynasty almost fainted. As the Emperor of Great Lu Dynasty, such news had dealt a huge blow to him. Especially since he was an ambitious Emperor, he wanted to rejuvenate the Great Lu Dynasty's former glory.

However, before he could display his ambition, reality had given him such a blow. It could be said that he was the one who felt the most grief in everyone's hearts, and that was why he was so angry at the time.

However, he knew that it was useless to be angry, and he couldn't do it in front of his ministers. He had revealed too many of his personal thoughts, so he had quickly calmed himself down. On the contrary, in front of his Royal Sister, he did not hide his emotions anymore. After all, this was the person he truly trusted, the person he was close to.

The Great Lu Dynasty Emperor was now angry, anxious, and regretful. He was angry with the 300,000 soldiers. They had lost so quickly. He was still hoping that they could win a battle at this critical moment. In the end, they did not win a battle. Furthermore, they had lost so quickly.

The reason why they were anxious was because the situation was originally very unfavorable to their Great Lu Dynasty. He also wanted to use this war to salvage some of the situation. However, the situation could not be salvaged. Instead, it had become even worse. How could he not be anxious?

As for regret, it was directed at Li Yuangu. He regretted believing Li Yuangu wrongly. He never thought that this Li Yuangu would be so useless. Not only did he not have the ability to do so, but also the ability to do so. And, at the critical moment, he ran away, if he could give a command, even the Great Lu Dynasty army would be defeated in the end. However, they would not be defeated in such a miserable manner.

However, it was useless to think about it now. He knew that the most important thing right now was to successfully negotiate with the Fengjue Country as soon as possible. He wanted the army of the Fengjue Country to leave the Great Lu Dynasty as soon as possible, or else... After a long period of time, who knew what kind of outrageous things the army would do?

Furthermore, the secret of this matter would be known by the outside world after a long period of time. At that time, the situation that the Great Lu Dynasty would have to face would be even more difficult.

Originally, the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty did not want to tell Princess Qi about this matter. He only wanted to make Princess Qi happy and not worry about this matter. Furthermore, he also knew the thoughts of the special envoys of the Fengjue Country. Therefore, Princess Qi would very likely be sacrificed in the end. Therefore... He wanted to let Princess Qi live her last blissful life.

However, now that Princess Qi already knew about it, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. He might as well tell her directly.

"How is that possible? How could it be like this?" Princess Qi was really disappointed when she heard the news. Not to mention that her own marriage was also involved in this matter, even if it was not, just based on her identity as the Great Lu Dynasty Princess, after hearing this news... And absolutely not in a good mood.

"Qi'er, don't think too much about this matter. Of course, I have to think about it for you. It's tiring to play outside. Hurry up and go back to rest. " When the Emperor saw Princess Qi looking like she had suffered a heavy blow, his heart also did not feel good. He could also understand Princess Qi's current mood because... When he heard the news back then, his mood was definitely not much better than the current Princess Qi.

"Royal Brother, will you marry me to that Fengjue Country's First Prince?" Princess Qi did not leave. Instead, she looked up at her own Royal Brother and asked the question that she was concerned about.

This was also the question that the Emperor had always wanted to avoid. On one hand, it was just that in the current situation, marrying Princess Qi from afar was inevitable. But on the other hand, he could not bear to part with Princess Qi and could not bear to marry her to such a place. Therefore, he had been deliberately avoiding this matter. Especially in front of Princess Qi.

However, he did not expect that Princess Qi would take the initiative to ask this question.

"How could it be? Royal Brother loves you so much. How could he be willing to marry you to such a distant place?" The Emperor squeezed out a smile on his face and said.

"But, if we don't marry, those people from the Fengjue Country won't be willing to negotiate, right?" Princess Qi said with a complicated expression. Of course, she didn't want to marry. However, she was a smart girl and understood the current situation of the Great Lu Dynasty. "If the peace talks don't succeed, the army of the Fengjue Country will continue to attack other cities. At that time, our Great Lu Dynasty might really be defeated. Right now, our Great Lu Dynasty needs time to rest and recuperate. "

Princess Qi was not stupid. It was just that she had Royal Brother's love in the past. No one dared to bully her, so she couldn't be bothered to think about those problems. However, this didn't mean that she didn't know those things. In fact, as a member of the royal family, she understood the current situation better than ordinary people. She also saw it more clearly.

"It won't be that easy to defeat our Great Lu Dynasty." The emperor said.

"But what about the other countries around us? Once our Great Lu Dynasty shows signs of decline, they will definitely not miss this opportunity. At that time, the Great Lu Dynasty will really be in danger." At this moment, Princess Qi had already slowly regained her calm. She seemed to have already considered the matter clearly. "The wisest thing to do now is to agree to their marriage alliance. Let the people of the Fengjue Country withdraw their troops. Only by doing so can peace be restored. The Great Lu Dynasty will be able to buy time for peaceful development. "

"But..." How could the Emperor not know that this was the best solution at the moment? However, the price of doing this was to sacrifice his sister. He could not accept the happiness of a lifetime. That was why he hadn't made a decision yet.

"Royal Brother, you can't be so indecisive as an emperor. You should know that. This is the best way, and also the way to pay the lowest price. Sacrifice me alone in exchange for a few years of peace with the Great Lu Dynasty. This is worth it. I'm willing to do this. I'm willing to accept a marriage alliance. " Princess Qi said with a calm expression as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.2

In fact, Princess Qi already knew when she knew that the frontline army had suffered a crushing defeat. The matter of her marriage could no longer be changed, even if Royal Brother loved her. Those ministers would also recommend marriage, and she could not reject this matter willfully. She needed to share her worries for her Royal Brother. She was also a member of the royal family. She also had to consider this country.

However, when she decided to accept the marriage, Princess Qi felt that her heart had already died. She did not know what kind of place the Fengjue Country was. She had never been there before, but what kind of person was that Lu Yizha? She had seen it before. So... For her own future... She no longer had any illusions.

If her heart died, she would be able to face this matter peacefully. She would be able to think about this matter more rationally, just like what she had said. Sacrificing her alone in exchange for a few years of time to develop the Great Lu Dynasty... That was worth it. As the children of the royal family, they had the obligation to contribute to the royal family. She had enjoyed a beautiful life all these years, and now it was time for her to do it for the royal family. What did she do for Royal Brother?
