Chapter 1141 Ambition
Bai Qingyan nodded, turned around and signaled Wei Zhong to take his men out.
Feng Yao, who had not yet sat down, also stood up, saluted Bai Qingyan again, and retreated with Wei Zhong.
Anu, who was beside Queen Mother Yan, also bowed and withdrew.
“If the Queen Mother has something to say, please speak frankly.” Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Queen Mother Yan was sitting upright, her eyes fixed on Bai Qingyan’s belly. She said, “I am A Yan’s sister-in-law. Since I already know that the baby in Emperor Zhou’s belly is A Yan’s child, I dare to… call myself Emperor Zhou’s sister-in-law. I dare to ask Emperor Zhou… Now that you and A Yan have a child, when the battle of Xiliang is over, will A Yan fake his death to escape and reunite with Emperor Zhou and the child?”
Bai Qingyan looked at Queen Mother Yan quietly…
Since Murong Yan and Murong Li had not told Queen Dowager Yan about the future unification of Japan and the United States, and Murong Li’s original intention was to propose it from their Yan State, there was no point for Bai Qingyan to tell Queen Dowager Yan the whole story at this time.
She shook her head and said, “The Queen Mother is A Yan’s sister-in-law, and she is also the wife of the former emperor of Yan State, and the biological mother of the current emperor of Yan State. You should know… Whether it is the former emperor of Yan State, A Yan, or the current emperor of Yan State, they all have the ambition to unify the world! And I was born in the Bai family, and the great wish of the Bai family for generations is to see the day when the world is peaceful and the seas and rivers are clear!”
Bai Qingyan stared at the gradually pale Queen Mother Yan, and continued: “Ayan and I each have our own ambitions and aspirations. We once said that when it comes to major events between the two countries, we will put the interests of both countries first and not consider personal feelings.”
Queen Mother Yan was so shocked that she stood up and said, “You mean, in the future… after Xiliang is pacified, Yan will unify the world, and Great Zhou will also unify the world! Who knows, there might be a war? But… but you have already married A Yan! You are A Yan’s wife, and you are pregnant with A Yan’s child, why… why can’t you give in and let the world be unified?”
As soon as Queen Mother Yan said this, she realized that what she said was extremely inappropriate.
Bai Qingyan is now the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could she be willing to unify the world and let her son become the emperor? This is impossible…
Everyone has selfish desires, just like her. She knew that A Yan had paid more to the Kingdom of Yan than little A Li, and that A Yan might be more suitable to be the emperor than A Li, but she still didn’t want her husband’s Kingdom of Great Yan to fall into the hands of others.
Bai Qingyan was not angry, but smiled and said to Queen Mother Yan: “Why can’t Great Yan give in and unify the world? Queen Mother… Do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you. It is true that A Yan and I have a friendship and that we have a child, but this is my personal relationship, not a matter of family and country. It is not a reason for the entire Great Zhou to give in.”
“But you’ve already married A Yan!” Queen Mother Yan said this without any confidence.
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were calm, and he said calmly, “When the late Emperor Yan was still alive, he also asked me this question. If in the future… there are only two countries left, how should I balance state affairs and my friendship with A Yan? Today, the Queen Mother Yan mentioned it to me again, and I still said the same thing, personal feelings are personal feelings, and the state affairs of the two countries are not personal feelings. This point… Murong Yan did a good job, and I did it… I felt no burden at all!”
Queen Mother Yan looked at Bai Qingyan in disbelief. From what Bai Qingyan said, did A Yan ever talk about personal affairs when he was talking about state affairs?
“Besides this, I wonder if Queen Mother Yan has any other instructions?” Bai Qingyan asked gently with a smile.
Today, Queen Mother Yan originally thought that Bai Qingyan would force A Yan to fake his death and escape to Da Zhou, but she didn’t expect that she would get such an answer. The two countries may not even fight a war in the future for who will be the master of the world, and they cannot form an alliance and live in peace.
This is worse than letting A Yan fake his death and escape to Da Zhou!
When it comes to fighting, Bai Qingyan is a “killing god” that even her husband Murong Yu has praised. Moreover, the Great Zhou has many elite soldiers and generals. If a war really breaks out, the Yan State may not be able to compete with the Zhou State with a strong foundation.
Queen Mother Yan looked at Bai Qingyan and really couldn’t understand how a woman could be so cruel. She had a relationship with A Yan and had a child with him, but she even wanted to destroy A Yan’s country. How could she be so heartless?
“Aren’t you afraid that your child will blame you when he finds out that you wanted to fight against his father’s country?” Queen Mother Yan widened her eyes.
“I don’t understand what Queen Mother Yan said.” She smiled and lowered her eyes, gently stroking her belly, “This child is the son of Xiao Rongyan, the Righteous Merchant Emperor who has done a favor to my Bai family. What does it have to do with the Ninth Prince of Yan? Unless someone knows that the Ninth Prince of Great Yan is Xiao Rongyan, and wants to ambush Yan in various places under the guise of… a trading company, but actually destroy the intelligence network that transmits information to Yan, otherwise no one will know that Xiao Rongyan is the Ninth Prince of Yan.”
“Are you… threatening me?” Queen Mother Yan’s heart was pounding. She had come today to beg Bai Qingyan, asking her to take pity on her and A Li, an orphan and widow, and persuade Murong Yan not to abandon the State of Yan and them. Who knew that besides hearing the news that Bai Qingyan would not recognize his relatives, she would also be threatened by Bai Qingyan.
“Is this how you treat A Yan’s eldest sister-in-law?” Queen Mother Yan’s eyes were red and she couldn’t help but choke up. “Aren’t you afraid that I will tell A Yan?”
“What I said to Queen Mother Yan today was all true, and A Yan knows it too.” She made a gesture of invitation to Queen Mother Yan, “Queen Mother Yan, you can speak frankly to A Yan.”
Queen Mother Yan clenched her fists tightly. She understood… Bai Qingyan was the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She had nothing to be afraid of. She was different from those women who depended on men to live.
In fact, Bai Qingyan had no real friendship for A Yan. She only married A Yan because she knew that Xiao Rongyan was the Ninth Prince of Dayan. She knew that A Yan was deeply affectionate and loyal, so she wanted to use the child in her belly to control A Yan at the appropriate time!
Queen Mother Yan’s scalp tensed up when she thought of this. She held back the pain in her eyes, looked at Bai Qingyan with a wary look, and said to him, “I won’t let you hurt A Yan!”
“Queen Dowager Yan, I have no intention of hurting A Yan. I don’t want to use the child to restrain A Yan, or… force A Yan to do anything,” she stood up with the help of the armrest of the chair, “What I said today is just to tell Queen Dowager Yan that the two of us have already reached a consensus to put the country first, so please rest assured, Queen Dowager Yan!”
Queen Mother Yan’s eyes were filled with passion. She was A Yan’s sister-in-law. If Bai Qingyan was really in love with A Yan, he would not be respectful to her, but at least he would not speak to her like that!
“If the Queen Mother Yan has nothing else to do and the Great Zhou army is about to set out, I will not keep her.” Bai Qingyan smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the Queen Mother Yan.
