"I was thinking, maybe we can cooperate with Qin Chuan."

Tuoba Ling raised his eyes and saw Qin Yanning smiling like a flower. She really wanted to cooperate with Qin Chuan.

The country of Da Mo is indeed powerful, but if a war breaks out, it will inevitably result in heavy losses for the people and money.

If Qin Chuan was really smart, he should also know that given Dazhang's current situation, surrendering to Damai is a good choice.

Looking at the smile on Qin Yanning's face, Tuoba Ling asked curiously, "Why choose him?"

"Maybe it's because he saved me once when I was a kid."

Qin Yanning calmly recounted what happened at the palace banquet. Even Qin Chuan was probably oblivious to the incident, so Tuoba Ling naturally had no way to inquire about it.

When Tuoba Ling heard Qin Yanning talk about how she was pushed into the freezing cold pond as a child, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of heartache in his eyes.

He knew that Qin Yanning's situation in Dazhang was not much different from his own in the desert, but he was still sad when he heard with his own ears the suffering she had endured.

Sad that I didn't get to know her sooner.

Qin Yanning smiled soothingly, "Well, these things are all in the past."

Tuoba Ling nodded in agreement with Qin Yanning's words. Perhaps his little wife no longer cared about these things, but in his heart these things would never pass.

He will not let go of anyone who has bullied her.

"I'm afraid that if you are willing to cooperate with Qin Chuan, he may not be willing to give up the temptation of the throne."

Tuoba Ling naturally understood what Qin Yanning meant by cooperation. Damo was now a powerful country, so it would not be excessive even if it took over Dazhang as a vassal state.

But Qin Chuan is the most powerful candidate for the next crown prince of Dazhang. Would he be willing to be the king of a vassal state?

The sedan chair stopped in front of the hall. Tuoba Ling reached out and carefully supported Qin Yanning as they walked down.

The beauty in the red dress snuggled up to the tall and straight Tuoba Ling, so beautiful that she looked like a painting that made people reluctant to be moved.

When Yutang and Yuzhu saw the Khan and their princess being so intimate, they looked at each other and smiled.

When Qin Chuan brought Qin Yanshu to the main hall, Qin Yanning and Tuoba Ling had already taken their seats.

The palace servants serving outside the hall led Qin Chuan and Qin Yanshu into the hall. Looking at Qin Yanning sitting in the main seat wearing the finest fox fur, Qin Yanshu felt a tightness in his chest.

Why did Qin Yanning, the daughter of a lowly foot-washing maid, become a noblewoman with piles of gold and jade? She was not convinced.

When Qin Yanshu's eyes fell on Tuoba Ling, she felt a little more at peace. Even if that little bitch Qin Yanning was now the Queen of the Desert, so what? Her man was just a useless person.

Thinking of this, Qin Yanshu couldn't help but give Qin Yanning a provocative smile.

Noticing Qin Yanshu's gaze, Qin Yanning walked towards her without any hesitation. She could guess with her toes what the arrogant Seventh Princess was thinking.

Qin Yanning raised her hand and touched her belly. Unfortunately, Qin Yanshu's gloating speculation would soon be dashed. She had already taken the multi-birth pill some time ago, and today was the perfect occasion to announce the news.

Qin Yanning knew that Tuoba Ling was constrained by the fact that she had no children in the previous dynasty. She chose to reveal the fact that she was pregnant today. Firstly, it was to stimulate Qin Yanshu and make her reveal enough clues for her to take action. Secondly, it was to shut up the ministers in the court of the desert.
