Ms. Doctor Divine

Only in this way would the ministers be allowed to come into Qianqing Palace.

In the past, Prime Minister Chu was the leader of the ministers, but the King ignored Prime Minister Chu at the summoning, so the whole gang had no leader and all got excited. They could clearly see that Prime Minister Chu had lost his power and after he was fired, someone else would need to step up.

They were all those who had a chance to take the position, so they were all very excited.

However, they did not dare to show off their excitement.

They stood there with a serious look on their faces.

The King did not have any patience towards them. He said straightforwardly, “News came from the border – we have lost Jiayu Pass and General Liu is seriously injured. The Crown Prince and the troops have retreated to Feng County.”

“…”

“North Qi is very ferocious right now.”

“…”

“They have magical monsters apart from the troops. They are not easily killed by us mortals. The Saint Divine Land is in danger right now.”

“…”

“The Crown Prince has a very special identity, so he can’t lead the troops any more. General Liu is badly injured, so apart from some supporters, someone needs to lead the army to the border. Who do you think suits that position best?” the King asked with a sunken voice.

Although the ministers were divided into two sections, when wars arrived, few generals were capable apart from General Liu.

There were many small generals, but not major ones.

The King was quite troubled as well, that was why he called the ministers here.

Hearing the news, the ministers were all obviously shocked – they had lost Jiayu Pass? That was the most defensible place. All the countries who lost to the enemies started to lose their borders first.

What should they do?

For one moment, all the ministers all fell into chaos. They could not think through everything clearly.

“Don’t be too afraid. The Saint Divine Land is the place where the Phoenix Girl is going to be born, nothing serious will happen, but we do need a leading general,” the King said with a calm look on his face.

The ministers all felt assured as they thought of the Phoenix Girl.

That was right… they had the Phoenix Girl, so nothing big would happen.

“I think that if we need to have a general, we can have Duke North. Duke North used to be more influential than General Liu. Although Duke North is not around, his son is equally strong,” the Officer of the Ministry of Architecture said.

Duke North!

The King was suddenly reminded of something. He almost forgot about this man.

Duke North was never in the court, and he had no military power in his hands, thus being forgotten all the time.

“Yes, send him there!” The King let out a sigh of relief, believing that it was a very suitable arrangement.

The King wrote the imperial order directly and asked The Fu to read it aloud.

At Xinlin Mansion.

Li Qing kept repeatedly stewing ginger soup in the kitchen in the hopes that Gu Chaoyan could drink it the moment she woke up.

However, she was still in a coma, even after such a long while…
