Chapter 631 It’s better to take the initiative
Empress Yan asked, "Did he tell you in person that he was going to lead the army, or did you find out about it?"
"He said so himself."
"So, he's going to send us back to the capital to fight again, or?"
"Let's set off tomorrow. Take me with you. As for the others, I've been asking around, and it seems he wants to take a few people with him and send the rest back to the capital. As for who he'll take with him, he didn't say directly."
Queen Yan sneered.
"You saw what happened tonight. Each of us is a chess piece he can discard and manipulate at will. If it weren't for your cleverness, we might not be alive right now. No matter who he takes away or who he leaves behind, does he consider the life and death of any of us? So—"
Her eyes sharpened, like a blade tempered with ice.
"Instead of just sitting there and waiting for him to make his move, it's better to take the initiative and make him leave alive but return dead."
Fei Wan looked solemn.
He pondered and reminded her, "Sister, when two countries go to war, tens of thousands of people are killed and wounded, affecting countless families. Every death on the battlefield means a family is torn apart. I fully support what you wish to do, and I will do my utmost to assist you. But let me remind you, before you take action, please consider the soldiers and civilians. Don't let his death affect the lives of too many others."
Queen Yan listened carefully and nodded solemnly.
"Sister, please rest assured. I will discuss the timing with you. I have the ambition to conquer the world. My soldiers and subjects will all belong to me. I will not sacrifice them for someone who is unworthy."
The two people discussed some things in detail.
Dawn is coming.
The sunlight passed through the tent, coating both of their bodies with a light golden hue.
After staying up all night, there were red bloodshot eyes, eye sockets were pale blue, and his face looked tired.
But her eyes were still bright.
She summoned a maid to bring in the meal, and she and Fei Wan ate together. After the meal, she inquired about the emperor's situation and found out that everything was fine. The news of the emperor's grandson ascending the throne in the capital was officially announced to the camp, but Empress Yan did not care.
"Since Your Majesty dares to sit here, he must be confident. Even if he gets himself into trouble, I can still take my sister away from here."
Fei Wan listened with a smile. She knew Empress Yan's words were true. The number of warriors she had secretly raised had increased significantly recently, and they must have arrived nearby by now. Even if the camp was surrounded by the troops sent by the emperor's grandson, it should be possible to use the warriors to protect a few people and escape.
And Fei Wan also has her own manpower.
So no matter whether the emperor wins or loses this time, Fei Wan and Queen Yan are not worried. In any case, they will not die.
Empress Yan suddenly looked serious, "Are you tired, sister? Can you hold on for a while?"
Fei Wan already knew what she was going to do.
Nodding: "Sister, if you need me, I'm always here for you."
"It's not a big deal, just walk with me."
Queen Yan spoke in a calm and relaxed tone.
When he stood up, he was smiling.
It seemed as easy as taking Feiwan on an outing.
But Fei Wan knew that this journey would be a heavy one for her.
Fei Wan stayed silently beside Queen Yan, and together they left the phoenix tent and walked towards the back of the camp.
He walked all the way to the place where the Duke of Zhenguo was imprisoned.
There were no tents, just a pile of makeshift fences made of wooden planks and freshly cut branches, one small one over there and a few larger ones.
The larger one held captured rebel soldiers. Those captured and seriously wounded were held separately from those who voluntarily surrendered, and their subsequent treatment would be different.
As for the smaller one, there was only one person in it, the bearded rebel general, the Duke of Zhenguo who pretended to be the General of the Cavalry in the Beijing Camp.
These enclosures, whether the small one nearby or the larger ones in the distance, were all very crude, and the people inside were kept like livestock in a pen.
"Everyone, step back. I want to interrogate the traitor."
Queen Yan led her men to the small fence and drove away the guards.
The palace maids and guards around her were so powerful that everyone avoided them wherever they passed. The guards on duty were a little embarrassed and did not dare to take responsibility, but they were forced by their momentum and retreated nervously.
However, Queen Yan did not allow the palace maids and guards to get too close.
Have them all stand three feet away from the fence.
Only Fei Wan was brought into the fence.
"My Lord, I'm here to see you one last time. Do you have anything else to say?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was curled up on the ground, his wounds were not bandaged properly and were covered in blood.
"Get lost! There's nothing to discuss between this duke and you!"
He roared hoarsely.
It was just because he was injured and beaten, so he had no strength and couldn't roar loudly.
He looked so weak and miserable, even worse than a beggar on the street. There was no trace of the majestic aura of the Duke in the past.
Queen Yan lowered her eyes and looked down at him coldly, without any of the pain a daughter might feel seeing her father suffer.
There is even pleasure.
The biological father who had pulled a knife on her and wanted to kill her finally got what he deserved.
Queen Yan raised her lips and smiled.
"My Lord, you have nothing to say to me, but I have so much to say to you. Do you want to hear it? Even if you don't want to, you have to listen to me! It's your fault that you don't have the strength to resist me now!"
"You vicious woman! Bitch! It's all because of you that the Duke's Mansion has reached this state. This Duke really wants to tear you into pieces. When you were born, you should have been drowned in a basin!"
The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that he rolled over and struggled on the ground, trying to stand up.
