Chapter 595 (1/2)

Shock (2)

At the Li Residence…

“Father? You’re going too?” Li Tianjun asked in surprise when he saw his father getting on the carriage too.

Grand Marshal Li was a very high-ranked official in this empire. Average matters did not require his presence. If he was summoned, it meant it was something that affected the entire empire.

“Yeah! Looks like something serious happened!” Grand Marshal Li nodded.

Within the main building of the palace, when an official stepped in, he saw Zhao Yarou was already at her seat waiting. This meant it was very, very urgent. So urgent that the empress was here to wait for everyone.

He stood in his place quietly, making no sound. They only started once everyone was present.

Very quickly, most of them were here. They all stayed close by anyway. When one arrived, everyone was almost there.

They would not delay on purpose too. Making Zhao Yarou wait would be a disaster.

At this moment, when Grand Marshal Li and the military leaders arrived, they knew it was related to the military. Were they at war with another kingdom?

Or someone was attacking them? That must be why there was such an urgent meeting!

It must be!

“Alright, everyone’s here! Then I shall tell everyone what happened!” Zhao Yarou’s eyes swept across the room. “We have to send our army to the northern part of the empire. Grand Marshal, you will be in charge of this. You must have your men in the northern region as fast as possible.

“What?!”

Everyone was surprised.

“Your Majesty, although we also want to capture the northern region, the Tanlang Group still has a stronghold there. Other military groups are unable to penetrate the region. This will just cause a civil war, the time is not right!” advised the Grand Marshal.

In the past, Zhao Yarou would agree. But not this time!

“Grand Marshal, the time is right. This is the time to take the opportunity!” she smiled, “My future brother-in-law has helped speed things up.”

“Who? Oh, you’re talking about Thirteen? What did he do?” Grand Marshal Li knew who Zhao Yarou was talking about. There were only two brothers-in-law: the Ye family’s seventh and thirteenth prince. The only person whom she cared so much about was naturally Ye Lang.

Of course, they did not think she called him that because they were close. She would call him brother-in-law as she locked him up or murdered him.

“He has helped us kill one hundred thousand men from the Tanlang army. The Tanlang group is now very unstable, it is the best time for us to come in. We cannot let them stabilise or we’ll have to wait again,” she said gently.
