Hey, you are reborn too?

The emperor stopped writing and subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My son, I have met the emperor's mother."

Upon seeing that it was the empress dowager, the emperor immediately put down his pen, knelt on one knee and performed a formal salute.

"Stand up," the Queen Mother did not walk towards the chair, but stopped at the door, "Emperor, please sit down."

"I have seen the emperor."

A strange voice was heard, and the emperor then noticed that there was a masked man beside the empress dowager.

He was wearing a black cape and a bronze mask with fangs on his face. He was of medium build, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He looked extremely mysterious.

The voice was neither cold nor hot, with no ups and downs, and the tone was deep.

When he spoke, it was like a few bubbles suddenly appearing in a pool of stagnant water. Although it was a little strange, it did not feel too abrupt.

"Madam," the Emperor narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, "You came so late at night, and your son did not go out to greet you. I am rude."

"Nothing." The Queen Mother's voice sounded a little excited. She didn't care whether the Emperor was rude or not. Instead, she looked at Eunuch Cao and said, "Eunuch Cao, there is no need to serve here. Take your people down."

"Yes." Eunuch Cao was a shrewd man. The palace had been in turmoil recently and people were in panic. He saw all this and couldn't help feeling afraid and terrified in his heart.

It's been dragging on for so many days. I heard that Beili has even reached the outskirts of the imperial city. There must be a solution.

Now that the Queen Mother visits the Yangxin Palace late at night, something big must be happening!

"Didn't you hear the Queen Mother's order? Everyone, leave."

Because no one was talking, the Yangxin Palace was silent. Eunuch Cao no longer dared to pinch his throat and tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

After retreating outside, Eunuch Cao was tactful enough to close the door tightly.

"Master, isn't the door of this Yangxin Palace usually open?"

The young eunuch who had just entered the palace asked in confusion.

"Hush!" Eunuch Cao immediately raised his index finger to his lips, his eyes filled with stern warnings, but his voice was very soft, "If you don't want to die, don't say anything!"

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

"Madam, who is this...?"

"My son," the Queen Mother did not rush to introduce him, but pointed to the chair next to her, "Please sit down first. I want to talk to you about the Beili army's imminent attack on my Dayuan Imperial City."

"Empress Dowager," the emperor was quite surprised, his eyes widened unconsciously, he subconsciously looked at the person next to him, and lowered his voice, "Dayuan has a law that the harem... is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."

"What time is it now?" The Queen Mother's eyes widened with anger, and she slammed the table. "Dayuan is about to be destroyed, and you and I are discussing political affairs, but we still have to hide it. Who are you doing this for?"

"What the Empress Dowager said is right." The emperor finally bowed his head. He always respected the Empress Dowager.

To this day, the emperor is still very grateful to the empress dowager for choosing him to be her legitimate son.

If the Empress Dowager had chosen someone else, he would not be the emperor now.

"My son, let me tell you this," the Queen Mother pointed at the masked man and sighed softly, "He is the last hope of our Great Abyss."

"Madam," the emperor was a little confused and could only ask sincerely, "Excuse me, who is this person?"

"He is Beili's state teacher."

The Queen Mother's voice was light, but her words were like thunder exploding in the Emperor's ears.

"What?" The emperor really hoped that he had heard wrongly, "You knew that he was the Beili Imperial Master, and you let him enter our Dayuan Palace at this time?"

The emperor originally wanted to say "Are you crazy?", but after thinking it over, he put it under his tongue.

"My son, I understand your shock," the Queen Mother was not surprised by the Emperor's reaction at all, and even patted the Emperor's shoulder in a comforting manner, "It wasn't an emergency, and Mother wouldn't want to go down this path either."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with determination: "But now, it is a very important time."

After hearing what the empress dowager said, the emperor was even more confused.

As if sensing the emperor's doubts, the empress dowager looked at the man and blinked.

"Tell the emperor what you have to do with the Beili army outside the city."

The man leaned forward, said "yes", and then began to tell the story.

He called himself the Beili State Master and was at odds with the current Beili ruler, so he took advantage of the moment when Beili was about to attack Dayuan and went to the Dayuan Palace to offer advice to the Dayuan Emperor and the Queen Mother.

He said he wanted to offer some advice, but he didn't say what it was.

The moment he finished offering his advice, he suddenly lowered his head and remained silent, as if he had become mute.

The emperor waited for a long time but he didn't hear him speak, but he couldn't bear his curiosity, so he took the initiative to speak: "So, what's your trick?"

"It's very simple," the bronze mask suddenly lifted up. The bronze mask, which was originally expressionless, seemed to be smiling at this moment. "Let all the soldiers get sick and unable to fight, isn't that enough?"

"But," the emperor was about to say that he couldn't do it, but he didn't want to admit that he was incompetent, so he coughed twice and began to ask the masked man, "Ahem, what method do you have to make so many people sick?"

The emperor himself thought for a moment and added his own conclusion: "Poisoned their food?"

"Your Majesty, this is not a bad idea," the masked man said calmly, not denying the emperor's idea right away. "But have you ever thought about the large number of Beili troops? If you poison them, how much would you need to use? If you poison them, will they definitely eat the food? If they don't eat, wouldn't the poison be in vain?"

After listening to the analysis of Beili Imperial Master, the emperor also felt that it made sense. Now, because of the Beili army approaching and the precarious situation of Dayuan, he could no longer maintain the emperor's posture as before.

Therefore, although the emperor felt a little offended by the masked man's frankness, he did not give him the cold shoulder. Instead, he lowered his posture, bowed slightly, and asked the masked man sincere questions.

"From what you said, maybe there is a better way?"

"I can't say there's a better way," the masked man said, seeing the emperor bowing, he had to bow even lower than him, "but there is a quicker way."

"Oh? Go ahead."

"I can help you and the Queen Mother curse Beili together, so that their luck will be greatly reduced." The masked man paused deliberately, as if to keep the secret. Seeing that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were looking at him, he continued, "So that... they will be defeated by Dayuan."

"Master, what you said," the emperor's eyes lit up a little, "Do you take it seriously?"

"I never do anything I'm not sure of."

"Okay," the emperor said excitedly, "According to this plan, when will Beili be able to withdraw its troops?"

"Within a month, if nothing unexpected happens."

"Good, good," the emperor was so excited that he paced back and forth in the Yangxin Palace, "It's really wonderful! ...

He took two steps with his hands behind his back, then suddenly frowned and looked at the masked man.

"But you and I are not related, how can I believe that you really want to help Dayuan?"

"Your Majesty," the masked man was being quite blunt, "Now that the Beili army is approaching, even if I don't sincerely help Dayuan, I think Dayuan will perish on its own."

"presumptuous!"

The Emperor and the Queen Mother shouted in unison.
