Chapter 107 The back door alley
"In the final analysis, all this is just your wishful thinking. At least for now, the price of female elves is still high.
If the Demon King's army really goes to the sky island, how can you guarantee that the Demon King will not attack the elves?
What if she goes back on her word?
What if she had people capture the citizens and sell them all as slaves?
I have heard that the Demon King is not very stable in her current position.
There are many secret forces who want to overthrow her.
In order to suppress and eliminate these forces, huge military expenditures are necessary. Where do you think this large amount of military expenditures will come from?"
"Your worries are not unreasonable, but I have never doubted my vision of others. Besides..."
She paused for a moment and said:
"I don't know what will happen to this country in the future, but the current fertility rate tells me that if we don't make changes, this country will only face death."
Yes, the fertility rate in the Daughter Kingdom has always been low, and a big reason for this is related to the Elf Queen's preference for nepotism.
Her nepotism led to a large number of royal relatives in this country having children and occupying almost all important positions.
Due to the desperate growth above, a lot of room for growth has been blocked.
Naturally, the lower class people who see no hope are less willing to give birth.
They prefer to enjoy themselves in time, so there is no pressure.
Although the lifespan of the elves is extremely long, overall, the fertility rate is still slowly declining.

"I have given you enough respect and kindness by being able to talk so much to you, a human being. So, as courtesy, shouldn't you put down the knife, turn from darkness to light, and come to our side?"
Daguo Shidao, her patience has run out.
However, Bai Yi just smiled after hearing this, and then put the knife on his neck.
"What are you doing?"
The Grand Master's brows furrowed, and the decibel level of his lazy voice increased a lot.
But Bai Yi didn't answer.
"puff!!!!"
The knife was inserted into the throat in one moment, and the next moment, the body fell to the ground with a roar.
At the last moment when she lost consciousness, she saw a group of soldiers running towards her quickly.
And, the stunned and surprised face of the Grand Master.
——
Bai opened his eyes and found himself in the front yard of Lu Mao's house.
The three of them were preparing to leave and go to the queen's residence.
——
"etc!"
Bai Yi suddenly said, calling the two of them to stop. They were puzzled, and Lu Mao asked:
"What's wrong Lucy?"
Lu Mao was embarrassed to call her "Beauty" when outsiders were around.
"Nothing, I just suddenly realized something."
"What?"
"The director Faxi was a member of the Grand Master, right? And she was cursed. This is enough to prove that there is someone behind her, right?"
"What do you mean? All this is the fault of the Grand Master?" Luna said.
But Lu Mao shook his head:
"Impossible, the National Preceptor is the second-in-command in this country and holds a high position of power. What are you planning on doing?"
"But what if she sets her sights on the position of number one? If the queen dies, won't this country become hers?"
"Lucy, I don't know why you said that, but it's better not to say such things in the future, as it will get you into trouble.
As you said, if the big country really wants to harm the queen, there is no need for her to be so round and round.
Many of the doctors who treat the Queen were found by her. If she really had harmful intentions, she would have taken action long ago."
"Having said that, what if she did the opposite? She just took advantage of your mentality and didn't take action.
Since the Queen dies, the country will be taken over by the Grand Master.
If it were me, I would definitely let the queen die normally.
Only in this way can I take over this country as it should be without making a fuss.
Therefore, I will not harm the Queen directly, but I can indirectly prevent it.
For example... let those outside doctors not see the Queen.
Another example is to give the queen some bastard doctors.
Let them waste the Queen's precious time in the name of treating the Queen.
As a result, the patient cannot be treated in time and the result is a natural death."
This speculation was reasonable and well-founded, and both of them were stunned when they heard it.
But Lu Mao still doesn't believe it. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and hasn't seen too many big scenes, so she instinctively rejects such big events as the rebellion of the Imperial Master.
"This...is unlikely."
She said, not wanting to believe it.
But at this moment, Luna seemed to have remembered something and tried to pull Lu Mao aside.
However, Lu Mao was very resistant to this and said:
"Hey, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you have to say. Lucy is not an outsider."
Seeing her attitude, Luna no longer concealed anything. She just glanced at Bai Yi sheepishly and said:
"What Lucy said is not unreasonable. At least, I personally think that the Grand Master has a reason to do this."
"Why?" Lu Mao asked.
"Because... the Grand Master's father was killed by the Queen, but the Queen always thought that the Grand Master didn't know about it.
And if what Lucy said is true, I'm afraid... the National Preceptor has learned about this matter from certain channels."
"You...are you telling the truth?"
Lu Mao's eyes widened. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
Luna nodded, her tone a little helpless:
"That happened a long time ago. Except for those of us who experienced it, few people know the truth."
"What the hell is going on?"
Lu Mao asked, but Bai Yi didn't want to give her a chance:
"Don't ask, the top priority is to see Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible. Who knows if the Grand Imperial Advisor has sent troops to catch us? Maybe she has already set up an ambush on the road?
If she really wanted to rebel, she wouldn't be able to let us see the queen."
"Then, what should we do now?"
"Let's put on a disguise. At least we won't be recognized."
Luna: "Yes, we can take the path from the back door."
With that said, the three of them rushed into the house and changed their luggage.
But Bai Yi couldn't take off the dress, after all, once he took it off, he would turn into a man.
So he could only roll up his skirt and wear the casual clothes that Luna handed over to him, making him look a lot bigger.
"Lucy, what are you doing?"
Luna looked confused about this, but Baiyi could only smile and said:
"This dress has been soaked in water dyed with Chinese medicine. It has physical therapy effects. If I take it off, I will feel very uncomfortable."
"There is still such a thing."
The three of them left through the back door and took the path straight to the Elf Queen's palace.
Soon, I arrived in front of the palace door. There were many guards guarding the door.
Seeing the three people approaching, a guard drank directly:
"Stop, during special periods, you cannot enter without the permission of the Grand Master."
But what was waiting for her was Lu Mao's quick kick, which knocked her over and said:
"You are so presumptuous that you can't even see who I am."
The guard was stunned for a moment, and when he took a closer look, he saw that it was a man with green hair in casual clothes, and he immediately shrank:
Chapter completed!
