The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

"Outrageous!"

The national teacher, Du Yulin, became furious: "You are being audacious and having unrealistic ideas!"

The other generals also echoed, filled with righteous indignation.

"The Northern Territory's Jiang Luoshen has rebelled. What's wrong with handing it over to us?" The old man in the blue robe smiled strangely and asked in return.

Du Yulin snorted coldly, "Hmph, that is our Great Qin's own business! It has nothing to do with your Ash Moon Dynasty!"

"Well, this is our bottom line."

Another old man in a blue robe snorted coldly, his tone icy:

"If you refuse to cede the land, then Great Qin can wait to be destroyed, and you won't be able to escape either!"

The echoes immediately ceased, and many people's eyes filled with deep fear, their faces extremely unsightly.

Yes.

If Great Qin is destroyed, can they still survive?

More importantly, is it really worth it for them to fight for such an incompetent emperor?

At this moment, many of the previously indignant generals wavered and became restless.

Even Sun Scale King Qin Shijing fell silent. Naturally, he didn't want to see Great Qin destroyed.

Otherwise, even if he ascended to the throne, what would be the point?

Du Yulin frowned deeply, his face showing signs of worry. It was clear that he also found it difficult to make a decision.

With just a few words, the ministers were instantly silenced, their angry expressions fading from their faces.

Seeing this scene, the two old men in blue robes glanced at each other, a hint of mockery appearing in their eyes:

"Our Empress has the virtue of benevolence and does not want the world to fall into a catastrophe. That's why she didn't directly agree to Heavenly Essence Kingdom's request, but chose a more gentle approach."

"We hope that Great Qin can understand our Empress's good intentions and not disappoint her."

These words were grand and righteous, as if they were really considering Great Qin.

But the threat within was naked and self-evident.

The hall fell into silence.

The old man in the blue robe sneered, a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, think carefully."

Du Yulin gritted his teeth, filled with sorrow and bitterness.

The ministers in the hall also remained silent, their faces filled with gloom.

Only Qin Mu remained seated, calm and relaxed, and said casually, "I wonder what promises Heavenly Essence Dynasty has made to you?"

The old man glanced at Qin Mu indifferently, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

At this moment,

The girl in the blue dress, who had been silent all along, raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Qin Mu coldly, saying, "The deposed emperor of Great Qin, you are not qualified to ask."

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl, "Oh? I'm not qualified, but are you qualified?"

The girl in the blue dress, hearing this, grew even colder, her tone icy, "I am Ash Moon Princess, gifted with transcendence, adopted as a righteous daughter by Your Majesty, bestowed with the title Ash Moon. Naturally, I am qualified!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the hall gasped in astonishment, showing expressions of admiration.

So, the girl among the envoys turned out to be a princess of the Ash Moon Dynasty. No wonder she dared to be so arrogant and unbridled.

However, this also precisely demonstrated the Ash Moon Empire's importance attached to this matter.

"Oh? So you are a princess, Your Highness."

Qin Mu looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile and said slowly, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is joking."

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, the old man in the blue robe first froze for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Princess, Your Highness, is the jewel in the palm of the Ash Moon Dynasty. If anything were to happen to her, the entire Great Qin would surely be overturned!"

"Do you dare to kill the princess?"

"Unless Your Majesty disregards the lives and deaths of billions of people in Great Qin."

"And..."

He grinned and continued, "If you were to kill the princess, do you think the Ash Moon Dynasty would let you go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the blue robe beside him suddenly stepped forward, a terrifying aura spreading in all directions, intimidating the courtiers.

His cultivation in the Dao of Severing was instantly revealed, like an ancient fierce beast descending.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the old man, everyone's expressions changed.

In this era where there were no Saints and Great Emperors had not yet been born, the Dao of Severing was already a top-tier combat force, an existence that couldn't be resisted.

The presence of a Dao Severing Realm alone was enough to sweep a country and suppress a city!

Moreover, the pressure emanating from the old man at this moment was extremely strong, even someone like Du Yulin could feel the immense oppression.

Not to mention, there was more than one powerful expert in the Dao of Severing!

The old man looked proud, looking down on Qin Mu, and said indifferently,

"You should understand the power of the Ash Moon Dynasty! Our Majesty has promised that as long as you agree to those two conditions, Great Qin will be safe!"

"Our Majesty's sincerity has been expressed, so you must not disappoint our Majesty."

After speaking, he coldly scanned the crowd, his threat evident.

The courtiers in the hall were silent, not daring to speak, let alone refute.

After all, they couldn't resist the old man's power at all.

At this moment, their hearts were already shaken.

It was just a matter of ceding some territory, Great Qin would still be Great Qin, as long as it wasn't destroyed, it would eventually be able to stand up again.

But if they refused the Ash Moon Dynasty, then the Ash Moon Dynasty and the Heavenly Essence Dynasty would join forces.

By then, not only would Great Qin be completely destroyed, but their families would also be wiped out!

This was a scene they absolutely did not want to see.

Including Sun Scale King Qin Shijing, everyone looked at Qin Mu, waiting for his reply.

Only the National Teacher Du Yulin remained kneeling on the ground, his face resolute.

"The people of Great Qin would rather die on the battlefield than cede territory. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Qin Mu remained seated on the dragon throne, his expression calm and unmoved.

His eyes were calm and deep, as if containing vast stars.

His gaze swept across the courtiers in the hall, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you all ready to compromise?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

After a long time, someone finally stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Please, Your Majesty, prioritize the stability of the country and do not act on impulse!"

"Once war is initiated, it will inevitably lead to the suffering of the people. It is better to surrender..."

"Your Majesty, the Qin Ridge Mountain Range is within the northern territory, and now the northern territory is no longer under control. There is nothing wrong with ceding it!"

"Your Majesty, Great Qin can no longer afford to be in turmoil..."

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

The courtiers all shouted in unison.

At this moment, they only wanted to save Great Qin, as for the humiliation of losing territory, they didn't care at all.

If ceding the northern territory, which had nothing to do with their interests, could save Great Qin, why not do it?

After all, under your incompetent rule, the northern territory is already on the verge of rebellion.

This mess was caused by you, don't involve us.

As for the resources in the royal treasury, that has nothing to do with us either.

This was the thought in the hearts of all the civil officials at this moment.

Seeing this scene, a hint of mockery appeared in the eyes of the girl in the blue dress.

The girl in the blue dress...
