Guan Zhiyue looked at Shen Tu Jiazhen and said, "I can't take it anymore, I'm so tired. I didn't sleep well last night, and then you guys dragged me here. It's already dawn, and we haven't had a sip of tea or a grain of rice."
"Let me rest for a bit, otherwise my brain is still a complete mess and I definitely won't be able to do it."
Shen Tu Jiazhen now particularly trusts Guan Zhiyue's words. Although he was very reluctant for Guan Zhiyue to go to rest, he still said, "Someone, take Empress Guan to rest."
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhiyue quickly said, "Your Majesty, can't you let me return to my homeland?"
Upon hearing this, Shentu Jiazhen immediately said, "Empress Guan, please forgive me for not being able to let you leave now."
Guan Zhiyue was speechless, but still said, "Alright, in that case, send my family a letter saying you're safe!"
"I am the queen of a nation, and now I have been kidnapped by an enemy country and taken to my own country. My family must be very worried. You must quickly send news of my safety back, otherwise if they come looking for me, your country will be attacked."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Jiazhen thought it made sense and immediately agreed, sending a message to the military camp.
We told them that their empress was in our hands, and that we were just having a friendly exchange with Empress Guan without any ill intentions, so they wouldn't think of sending troops to attack us.
If they come to attack us, then Empress Guan's life or death will be up to them.
Guan Zhiyue's lips twitched involuntarily after hearing Shen Tu Jiazhen's words, but she realized that she was still on someone else's land and that things couldn't continue like this.
After all, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
The key to success lies in being flexible and adaptable!
When you're outmatched, it's best to just give in! Otherwise, you might not even know how you died.
Guan Zhiyue, accompanied by Bilian, followed a young eunuch toward the warm pavilion on the side.
Warm room.
"Empress Guan, please make yourself at home!"
After the young eunuch escorted the person to the warm pavilion, he left immediately.
Guan Zhiyue led Bilian to look around the warm pavilion. The room looked particularly cozy. It was built in a place by the river. It was small and exquisite, but it had a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, shall we think of a way to escape?" Bilian looked around and then whispered.
Guan Zhiyue looked around the room, and seeing no one, said, "What are you trying to escape from? How are you going to escape? Do you know any kung fu?"
“Silly Bilian, we are now in the palace of an enemy country. There are only two of us who don’t know kung fu. How can we possibly escape? Besides, my original intention was to negotiate with the king of the Turks. Now it’s exactly what I wanted.”
Bilian was speechless. What was her mistress doing?
Is this what they mean by "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger"?
What's wrong with her mistress's perspective? Why would she do something like that? If she were to lose her life because of her own actions, what would she gain?
While Bilian was still thinking about other things, Guan Zhiyue was already lying in bed, sleeping soundly without any worries.
Bilian looked at Guan Zhiyue, who was already fast asleep in bed, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement! Her mistress really had a big heart! It wasn't just a little big!
However, in the military camp in Sailing County.
"Father, Father, Father!!!"
"Here's a letter from the Turkic army camp!" Guan Chengheng shouted as he ran in through the camp gate, holding the letter.
In an instant, all the generals in the tents stood up, and everyone looked at the young general Guan Chengheng and his men.
Guan Hongsheng took the letter from Guan Chengheng and immediately opened it in front of everyone. Now they were discussing how to rescue the Empress.
We also need to discuss whether we should report this matter to the Emperor truthfully. The Empress has been kidnapped; for us generals, this is a complete loss of face!
This is equivalent to their commander being captured, leaving them, the ordinary soldiers, completely incapable of protecting him.
"Dad, what does it say?" Guan Chengzhuo asked anxiously.
Guan Chengheng also peeked over to see what it was; it was something that could kill someone.
"Damn it, those Turks really did kidnap Yue'er."
These words caused an uproar throughout the room!
"Ah!!! This...."
"Marshal, where are we?"
"But...."
"What should we do?"
"Father, what else did the letter say?" Guan Chengzhuo quickly asked.
Guan Hongsheng passed the letter to Guan Chengzhuo, and the people present passed it around and read it among themselves. They all felt extremely uncomfortable.
What kind of mess is this?!
"Father, we should report this matter to the Emperor! After all..." Guan Chengzhuo said after reading the letter and thinking for a while.
Guan Hongsheng, how could you not know the gravity of this situation?
But what should we do now?
The key issue is that we don't know anything about Yue'er's situation right now. All we know is that this matter exists, and the letter also mentioned that Guan Zhiyue should stay in Turkic territory to get some new crops for them.
Guan Zhiyue's new crop is nothing more than grain, but...
"Sigh, what's going on here?" Guan Hongsheng sighed in frustration.
For a moment, everyone in the room lowered their heads. The letter said that if they tried to rescue the Empress by force, something would definitely happen to her. But if they didn't try to rescue her, they didn't know what her current condition was.
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought...
********
At night.
Guan Zhiyue had finally had a good night's sleep and was full of energy. She sat up in bed and called out towards the door, "Bilian, Bilian."
"Your Majesty, you're awake!"
"Okay, come in!"
Bilian pushed open the door and entered. Guan Zhiyue rubbed her eyes and asked, "What time is it now?"
Bilian said, "It's time for dinner."
Guan Zhiyue sat up abruptly, bent down to put on her shoes, and said, "What are we going to eat tonight? Send someone to tell the Turkic king what we want to eat?"
Bilian responded and went out!
Guan Zhiyue walked outside into the courtyard and saw that the sky was already getting dark, but the air was particularly comfortable and fresh.
"Are you the Empress of Nanding Kingdom?" A deep and heavy voice rang out.
Guan Zhiyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in Turkic clothing with his hair braided into many small braids, holding a dagger in his hand and playing with it as he walked over.
Guan Zhiyue asked curiously, "Who are you?"
The man laughed and said, "Shen Tu Mingzhi."
Guan Zhiyue nodded knowingly and asked, "You are the crown prince of the Turks?"
"yes!"
"Oh, you wanted to see me about something?"
Shen Tu Mingzhi said, "I heard that a famous guest has come to the palace, so I came to see him. I never expected that he would be the Empress of Nan Ding Kingdom."
"Oh! I see! Now that you've seen the person, you can go!" Guan Zhiyue said.
Shen Tu Mingzhi was astonished that this woman was not attracted by his good looks; it was simply unbelievable.
"you...."
"What? Is there something else?" Guan Zhiyue asked.
Just as Shen Tu Mingzhi was about to say something, Bi Lian returned from outside. Seeing a man suddenly appear in the courtyard, she looked at him warily.
Looking at his own mistress again, he saw that she seemed to be alright, and only then did he feel relieved.
Shen Tu Mingzhi looked at Bi Lian and then at Guan Zhiyue, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Finally, he gave Guan Zhiyue a meaningful look.
Bilian blinked, speechless. How come she felt like her mistress had been attracting all sorts of suitors since she left?
