Chapter 782: The Wronged Queen vs. the Scheming Talented Woman (9)
Duan Yunheng has always had a high opinion of himself.
He actually looked down on Emperor Min.
Everyone knew that Emperor Min was able to sit on the throne thanks to Empress Nangong Shiyi. But Emperor Min himself seemed to be unaware of this fact. Or rather, he was unwilling to face this fact.
The rumors spread in the army that he had a crush on the talented woman Yinghua, but in the end he hid his love in his heart for the sake of brotherhood and left Kyoto to guard the border were completely false.
The reason he looked for Yinghua was just to fulfill Emperor Min's request. Since he was a child,
he was not interested in talented women like Yinghua who were only famous for nothing. He felt that it was hypocritical to look at them for a second. Especially Yinghua's famous poem about snow: "It is similar to sprinkling salt in the air, but not as good as catkins rising in the wind."
He hated "catkins" since he was a child because they only knew how to attach themselves to things. What he really liked was a woman with independent consciousness, talent, and who could walk side by side with him.
If he is really interested, he is much more interested in Nangong Shiyi.
It is interesting to say.
The woman who sneaked into his military camp is somewhat similar to the one in the palace.
I just don't know if it is her.
However, before the other party comes to test him, he will definitely not alarm the enemy.
He wants to see what tricks she will use to convince him to deal with Emperor Min.
Shiyi disguised herself as a man, and her body was not as strong as that of an ordinary soldier, so she sneaked into the kitchen as a cook.
Relying on her "excellent" cooking skills, she successfully mixed in to serve King Zhenbian.
In order to let King Zhenbian discover her, she specially made a dish from his hometown - steamed egg with lotus.
When Duan Yunheng ate this dish, his mouth was full of mischievous smiles.
He was sure that the woman who sneaked into the military camp was Nangong Shiyi, and he was even more certain that Emperor Min in the palace had never received such treatment as himself.
Because he had the honor of tasting Nangong Shiyi's craftsmanship, this steamed egg with lotus was as tasteless as always. He had remembered this memorable taste for many years and had never forgotten it.
He summoned "Nan Eleven".
Shi Yi came to Duan Yunheng's tent, but did not see anyone else. Instead, he saw the battle map he was drawing.
It was a bit unexpected that he was going to attack the surrounding Yun Kingdom.
Duan Yunheng walked in and saw that she was watching with relish. He did not remind her, but stood aside and looked at this woman with interest.
This thirty-four-year-old woman was becoming more and more charming.
He thought that perhaps the best thing in this world is what you can't get.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Min be willing to give up such an almighty queen for a talented woman with a false reputation.
He really felt sorry for Emperor Min.
A woman's heart is thinner than a needle tip. Once it is hurt, it can never be recovered.
Shi Yi looked at it for a long time unconsciously. It was a long time later when he realized that there was someone else in the tent.
"Nangong Shiyi, how are you?" Duan Yunheng took the initiative to greet her.
Shi Yi was not embarrassed at all. She walked to his side and saluted him. "It seems that these days, I am grateful for the care of the King of Zhenbian."
"Why be polite to me?" Duan Yunheng respected her and gave her a fake hand. Shi
Yi thought carefully for a moment, not understanding why he was "different" to her.
[The voice of [Prince Qiannian] has been used] sounded in her mind.
She complained slightly.
Then she suddenly realized that Duan Yunheng was different from her.
Duan Yunheng saw that she was lost in thought when looking at the battle map she drew before, and asked, "But what do you think?"
Shi Yi was also straightforward and made a simple analysis of the possibility of his victory in attacking Yunguo.
After her analysis, Duan Yunheng, who thought he had a 90% chance of winning, fell silent.
It was because he thought highly of himself that he ignored the in-law relationship between Yunguo and the surrounding small countries.
If he rashly attacked Yunguo, it would be very likely to cause panic in other surrounding small countries. At that time, the small countries would stick together, and he would probably be unable to take care of himself, giving other covetous countries a chance.
"It's just my humble opinion. King Zhenbian doesn't have to take it to heart." Shi Yi tapped the table with his knuckles, calling him back from his trance.
Duan Yunheng looked at her with even higher regard.
He felt that such a treasure woman should not stay with Emperor Min. It was a perfect choice for her to come to him.
"If I insist on starting a war, do you have any suitable suggestions?"
"We can start with the alliances, and then the vertical and horizontal alliances." Shi Yi pointed out the situation with his battle map.
Duan Yunheng nodded repeatedly.
He deeply regretted his arrogance.
Fortunately, he only drew this battle map privately and had no intention of really starting a war. Otherwise, he would really be taken advantage of by the small countries around him.
The two talked about the situation of the surrounding countries for a long time in the military camp, and they were still discussing with great interest until dawn.
Duan Mu Lian searched the entire capital, but could not find any clues about Nangong Shiyi's existence, so she turned her attention to the whole country.
After hearing that a strategic genius had emerged on the border, he came to the military camp of the King of Border Guard despite his father's dissuasion.
When Shi Yi saw him rushing over, she was stunned at first, and then he hugged her tightly.
"I know you are her."
Duan Mulian hugged her very tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his bones.
He recognized her eyes, and the moment he hugged her, he felt her soul.
She was her.
Even if others imitated her, he would not make a mistake.
"How do you know I'm here!" The soldiers around had already started to make a noise, and Shi Yi pushed him away.
Duan Mulian smiled evilly, "Anyway, I just know it."
Seeing her standing in front of him intact, he didn't want her to know about the days and nights he had been looking for her alone.
Duan Yunheng didn't expect that the prime minister's son would come to this bitter cold place and set up a banquet to entertain him. That night, he left here.
Duan Mulian came to the border just to confirm whether Nangong Shiyi was here. After seeing her, he felt at ease and returned to the capital to continue his unfinished business.
This business is not only his, but also hers.
Emperor Min, you don't deserve her!
When he left, Shi Yi didn't see him off.
Because she was afraid that if she saw him off, she would not want to stay here.
She has cultivated another self for many years, and all she wants is a "like", which is the choice used by the Meizu to save their lives. She is almost exactly the same as the other self, and even Yun Duo, who serves her closely, sometimes can't tell them apart. However, Duan Mulian not only distinguished them but also found herself, absolutely because she recognized her soul.
In this world, there is only one person who can remember himself with his soul.
Duan Mulian's impulsive behavior aroused the suspicion of Emperor Min.
In order to reassure Emperor Min, the prime minister put his son in confinement.
