Chapter 405: A Bloody Plot to Conquer a Country

Mu Cang looked at her expressionlessly, and said in a steady voice: "No."

That's good.

Xuanyuan Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Yan Li, hesitating for a long time: "How did the emperor sister become like this now? No wonder she looks different, but always makes me feel so familiar..."

"It's too bizarre, and I can't explain the reason." Yan Li smiled, "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't dare to believe that there is such a thing as borrowing a corpse to revive the soul in the world."

"It's really bizarre." Xuanyuan Jiahe frowned, "So, people really have souls after death?"

Yan Li nodded slowly: "It should be."

"After I die, I wonder if there will be such a bizarre opportunity." Xuanyuan Jiahe was a little eager, "I haven't heard of it before Speaking of this kind of thing, I remember there was a similar record in the book before. Is this considered as possession? I also want to-"

"What are you thinking about?" Yan Li raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, "What if you are asked to possess a 70-year-old woman, see if you still want it."

Xuanyuan Jiahe shuddered: "It shouldn't be."

"What's wrong? I was just reborn into an orphan girl?" Yan Li smiled lightly, "Even if you can't possess a 70-year-old woman, what if you are reborn as a maid, or someone's concubine, an unfavored concubine? Can you ensure that you have the opportunity to deal with such a situation?"

Xuanyuan Jiahe was silent and speechless.

It seems that it really can't.

If she is really reborn into some miserable people, I am afraid that she may live a life worse than death.

The emperor's sister is the true son of heaven, born noble, both civil and military, with a Saker Falcon as a pet, and a high priest who is always paying attention to her fate, so her shadow guard can find her as soon as possible.

She may not be treated like this, and she doesn't have the ability of the imperial sister.

So she should just be a precious princess.

Xuanyuan Jiahe gave up her curiosity.

"The Southern Kingdom will be handed over to my eldest brother in the future." Yan Li looked at King Feng, and raised a calm smile at the corner of his mouth, "In the future, the Southern Kingdom, Jin Kingdom and Mu Kingdom will be friendly allies. Among the nine countries, three countries are allied, and other countries can't make trouble even if they want to."

In fact, in addition to these three countries, the northern border is also under control.

So it should be considered four countries.

If the remaining five countries remove the peaceful Zhao Kingdom, even if the other four countries have ambitions, they do not have the strength to provoke a war.

"If you have really thought it through, I will not refuse." The Phoenix King nodded calmly, "If Jin State has any needs in the future, just let Xiaobai send a letter. The South will always be your home country."

"Xiaobai?" Yan Li laughed and turned to walk out. "Such a majestic guy was given such an unimpressive name by you. If it hears it, it will definitely be unhappy."

The Phoenix King raised the corner of his mouth.

"How to treat King Xiao and Shen Yanshu is up to my eldest brother." Yan Li said calmly, "I will not ask about their affairs anymore." M.

The Phoenix King's eyebrows deepened: "If you want to spare their lives, I will respect this result and let them atone for their sins with actions for the rest of their lives."

Walking out of the priest's hall, Yan Li stood on the high steps of the hall, looking at the direction of the palace from afar, and his cold eyebrows and eyes gave off a sense of dignity.

Apart from the different looks and ages, just from the back, Yan Li at this moment has almost the same imperial pressure and noble aura as when Xuanyuan Xihe ascended the throne, and is inviolable.

Xuanyuan Jiahe stood beside her, feeling a little distressed and reluctant, "The Southern Kingdom was originally the kingdom of the emperor, but something happened suddenly, and it became someone else without any psychological preparation. When she came back to the Southern Kingdom, she passed on the throne. Is the emperor feeling very complicated now?"

"It is indeed very complicated." Yan Li nodded, "But time is the best medicine, and if you think about it from another angle, this may not be a bad thing."

"What do you mean?"

"The Southern Kingdom is indeed powerful, but if you want to conquer other countries, you will inevitably have to use swords and weapons. Now I have become the regent princess of Jin without any effort, and I have obtained the regent power of a country without bloodshed. Isn't it a good thing?"

Xuanyuan Jiahe thought about it and felt that it was wrong to say so.

The imperial sister was originally the empress of the strongest country. Even if she won Jin without bloodshed, it would not be worth it for her, because Jin's strength was there, and it would be inferior to Nanguo after all.

Moreover, Nanguo was prosperous and its system was relatively complete, so it was easier for her to be the empress. She didn't need to worry too much. As long as she could maintain the strong military force and the abundant treasury, it would be fine.

Even if there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, Nanguo could easily deal with it with its current strength.

But Jin was different.

Jin's various systems were rotten and decayed, its national strength was not strong, and its treasury was not rich. It would take a long time to change the system. It would take ten or even dozens of years to deal with the vested interests in the court, and there could be no negligence.

In case of natural disasters and civil unrest, it would be even more difficult for Jin.

Unless the rulers of Jin were only for pleasure and ignored the lives of the people, they would have to work harder than the kings of other countries, and they would need to devote more energy and effort to govern the country well.

But it's meaningless to say this now.

Xuanyuan Jiahe sighed softly. She had no right to interfere with the decisions made by her sister, and given the situation, they had no choice.

After leaving the priest's hall, King Feng took Yan Li and Mu Cang back to the palace.

They went to Xihe's former palace together. There was no one missing from the female officials, maids, and palace maids in the palace. They all stayed at their posts and everything in the palace remained the same.

Yan Li was like a bystander, taking Mu Cang to visit the palace carefully. When talking to the maids and palace maids, her tone was gentle and calm. She did not deliberately show off her status. She just regarded herself as a guest - a special guest who was specially invited to visit the empress's palace.

"It's late, Princess, please stay with me tonight." Xuanyuan Jiahe changed the address, but looked at her expectantly, "I want to talk to the Princess."

Yan Li did as she wished: "Okay."

Xuanyuan Jiahe was so happy that she almost jumped up, but then she thought about it and saw Mu Cang standing beside her: "Brother-in-law, don't you mind?"

As soon as the word "brother-in-law" came out, even if Mu Cang originally minded, he could only force himself not to mind now.

"No mind." Mu Cang nodded calmly, "I will talk to King Feng about business tonight, and it may take until very late."

That's great.

Xuanyuan Jiahe's guilt instantly disappeared, and he held Yan Li's hand and refused to let go.

After taking a bath in the evening, Xuanyuan Jiahe lay in bed unable to sleep, staring at Yan Li eagerly: "Sister, can you tell me what happened after you went to Mu Kingdom? It must be very exciting."
