Chapter 181 How Many Husbands Does She Have?

The Supreme Emperor was stunned: "What did you say?"

Yan Donghuang repeated: "The Northern Qi envoy brought news about my mother, although I don't know whether it is true or not yet."

The Supreme Emperor frowned and unconsciously clenched the chess piece in his hand: "How did the Northern Qi envoy know the news about your mother?"

"To be precise, it's more than knowing." Yan Donghuang closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying shocking words, "They said that his mother was the empress of Northern Qi."

As soon as these words came out, the Supreme Emperor was completely stunned.

Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty?

The Supreme Emperor obviously didn't expect this. His face looked surprised, happy, or angry, and then he sighed quietly: "No wonder..."

No wonder she left so easily and so decisively back then.

If she really had such a strong identity and background, it would be easy to leave.

The Supreme Emperor was silent and narrowed his eyes. Thirty years ago in the Northern Qi Dynasty, a man was still the emperor. He was jealous because of his younger brother's great achievements. In a rage, he divided the Qi Kingdom into two territories, the north and the south.

The emperor had no sons, only one daughter.

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "Father, do you think what he said is true?"

The Supreme Emperor leaned against the brocade couch, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Fake things can't be true, and real things can't be faked."

Yan Donghuang's expression was subtle.

"Since he can mention your mother's identity in public, it seems to be somewhat credible." The Supreme Emperor thought thoughtfully, "But if the Empress of Northern Qi is really your mother, why has no news been transmitted for so many years?"

Although the two countries are separated by a river, it is not impossible to send envoys over.

After all, an envoy came here today, right?

Yan Donghuang said: "Maybe she doesn't want her father to know about her."

When Emperor Wu Lie was young, he always went to war immediately.

Not only did he rule the world, but he also commanded an army of millions. If he had received the news that she was in Northern Qi when he was young and vigorous, he might have directly led his troops to Northern Qi to take her back by force.

After all, the king of a country cannot be offended. In the hearts of everyone in the world, the emperor's women will always belong to the emperor.

But since she wanted to go back to Northern Qi to inherit the country, it was naturally impossible for her to come back. She didn't even have the energy to deal with all the troubles of dealing with the Yong Dynasty emperor.

As the Crown Princess, she needs to develop her abilities as a prince, develop her own connections, learn to handle government affairs, and even learn how to employ people as an emperor should.

Northern Qi is a divided territory, and in the eyes of Southern Qi's orthodox people, they are considered traitors and traitors. She must make Northern Qi stronger than Southern Qi to ensure that the country will not be annexed in her hands. Otherwise, not only will she die, but all those who follow her father will conquer the country. None of his trusted generals or Northern Qi ministers would survive.

Under such circumstances, how could she find the energy to deal with her children's affair?

After Emperor Wu Lie figured this out, he naturally understood the reason why there had been no news for many years.

"What I care about now is not whether what he said is true or false, but the purpose of their trip." Yan Donghuang frowned slightly, "You can actually send someone to Northern Qi to find out the mother's identity, but This man said he was the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty..."

Having said this, Yan Donghuang suddenly reacted and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

The Supreme Emperor was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes: "Husband of the Northern Qi Emperor?"

Yan Donghuang narrowed his eyes: "Yeah."

"I'll go meet him."

The Supreme Emperor said, stood up from the couch, straightened his robes, turned around and walked out.

Yan Donghuang didn't say anything, got up and followed him.

The atmosphere in Chongming Hall was very subtle.

Quan Zi and the two envoys had already sat down and drank two cups of tea.

When the guards outside knelt down to pay homage, Quan Zi stood up and looked at the father and daughter who entered the palace door. His scrutinizing gaze passed over the face of the Supreme Emperor, and then his expression slightly calmed: "I have met His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Yong Dynasty. Long admired name."

The moment the Supreme Emperor saw Quan Zi, his eyes darkened, he looked him up and down, and then screened away all the people in the palace.

Quan Zi turned around and motioned to the two envoys around him to go out as well.

The Supreme Emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, with a look that seemed displeased: "What is the name of your empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty?"

"The Northern Qi royal family's surname is Jimo, and my maiden name is Xi, which means the morning sun."

The Supreme Emperor looked indifferent, unable to distinguish between joy and anger: "Are you her royal husband?"

Quan Zi nodded calmly: "Yes."

"How many royal wives does she have?"

Quan Zi answered one by one: "There used to be six people. They have died and become useless over the years, and there are still two people left."

The Supreme Emperor paused slightly when he heard this. He didn't know whether he felt that six people were too many or too few.

Yan Donghuang stood in front of the window, raising his hand and gently rubbing the center of his eyebrows. He suddenly thought, if we put aside the position of his family and country, could this be regarded as a love rival meeting and being extremely jealous?

Or it can be regarded as the relationship between the first wife and the second wife...

She twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that her idea was childish and boring.

"What is your purpose in coming to Yong Dynasty?"

"Her Majesty the Empress's deadline is approaching, and there are not many days left." Quan Zi walked aside and sat down with a calm expression, "The Emperor of Southern Qi is in a similar situation, but his biggest wish in recent years is to unify Qi, and he has not yet established a throne. And he proposed that whichever prince can unify Qi will inherit the country. "

The Supreme Emperor frowned: "With the current military strength of Northern Qi, can Southern Qi achieve unification?"

"It can't be done."

The Supreme Emperor looked calm: "Then the death of the old emperor, does it mean that Southern Qi will fall into unprecedented civil strife?"

"It should be." Quan Zi nodded, "Now the civil strife in Qi is intensifying, Southern Qi is in chaos, Northern Qi is also in chaos, and there is an urgent need for external intervention."

The retired emperor ignored him and continued to ask: "Is the old emperor incompetent or is there someone obstructing him?"

Quan Zi shook his head: "It is still unknown for the time being."

"Both Southern Qi and Northern Qi have civil strife, and you, as the husband of the empress, still don't know why the emperor of Southern Qi made such a foolish decision?" The retired emperor frowned and looked at Quan Zi with a look of disdain, "You are too useless."

Quan Zi: "..."

"What about Northern Qi? What is the cause of the civil strife?" The retired emperor seemed to be questioning his ministers, "Four of the six husbands died or were abolished, and there are only two of you left. It should be considered a competition, right? Is it because you all want to seize power?"

As expected of a wise and wise king, even if he abdicated, it did not affect his insight into human nature at all.

Quan Zi nodded slowly: "What man doesn't love power? When Her Majesty was in power, we assisted her wholeheartedly and never had any other thoughts. We are both loyal and sincere to her. Once she dies, everyone wants their children to inherit the throne."
