...At a time when Nanyue and Liang were at war, letters from the capital to the northern desert continued to flow. Shangguan Bing'er looked at the small box on the table in front of her, which had long been filled with various letters, and fell into deep thought.
There were originally two personal maids who accompanied her to Beimo for the marriage. Now, one has gone to the Western Paradise, and the remaining one is aimless all day long, as if she was someone sent by Daliang to monitor her.
After Lan Xin read all the letters she had received recently to Shangguan Bing'er, she cautiously whispered, "Miss, the master has urged again in the letter. Look at this..."
Shangguan Bing'er said coldly: "No need to reply, I have my own plans."
It would be great if these letters were family letters. Shangguan Bing'er could still tell that the first one was written by Shangguan Quan, and the content of the letter really showed his concern for her. Just when she was about to write a reply, the second letter arrived. Although the handwriting was similar to her father's, it was not written by the same person after all. It was not until the news of Tianshu Tower's actions in Daliang reached Beimo that she realized that perhaps, the letter she wrote to her father could only be transmitted by fire. Her family was gone, and there was no point in replying to these so-called family letters. They were just forcing her to do things she didn't want to do.
After sitting in her room for a long time, Shangguan Bing'er suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent without saying a word. Seeing this, Lan Xin hurriedly got up and chased after her.
When Shangguan Bing'er came to see Haodu Khan, he was talking to Hudu. After someone informed him, Shangguan Bing'er saw her husband again after half a month.
"See the Khan."
Hao Du waved his hand slightly, motioning her to stand up, and said, "You've come at the right time. We were just talking about you. Sit down."
Shangguan Bing'er smiled and asked, "What did the Khan say about me?"
Hu Du narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly, then said, "Of course, they're talking about the rumors about the princess when she was in Daliang, hahahaha!"
There were still rumors about Shangguan Bing'er that could make people laugh. She was no fool, so she could tell that Hu was trying to humiliate her. However, she didn't care and just said, "Khan really knows how to joke."
After Haodu signaled the people in the tent to leave, he said bluntly, "Right now, Liang State is facing internal and external troubles. Do you have any ideas?"
Shangguan Bing'er nodded slightly and said with some embarrassment, "Bing'er came here precisely for this matter."
Haodu and Hudu exchanged glances and said, "You are also a citizen of Liang State. If you have any ideas, just speak up. There are no outsiders here."
Shangguan Bing'er took a deep breath and said calmly, "In my humble opinion, now is the time to march south and attack the Liang Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Haodu raised his glass with interest: "Oh?"
Shangguan Bing'er then calmly explained, "Right now, the southern part of Liang State is being harassed by the Nanyue. Qingliang Valley is struggling to cope, and Tianshu Tower in the country controls the government. Although Yao Ji is in power, he is ultimately unjust and has caused complaints from the people. If we can launch a surprise attack from the north to the south, while we are under attack from both sides, how dare they not hand over gold, silver, jewels, beauties, and cities?"
There was almost nothing wrong with what she said, and her words were indeed meant for Beimo, but Hu Du simply didn't trust this outsider woman: "I didn't expect that the princess would have such an idea, but your father is still in Daliang."
Shangguan Bing'er stood up and took a few steps back before kneeling on the ground, her face almost touching the ground as she pleaded, "Bing'er would like to ask the Khan for one more favor. Now that he has taken over Daliang, please spare Bing'er's mother's family!"
Haodu's eyes darkened slightly, and after a moment, he said, "Get up. According to what you say in Daliang, he is half my father, so I will naturally not do anything to him."
"Thank you, Khan!"
Hu Du saw that the sudden joy on Shangguan Bing'er's face was real, and he felt a little confused. "Khan, I think the princess has said everything she wanted to say. From now on, you should leave your time to me."
Hao Du waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back first."
"Yes, Bing'er, take your leave."
After leaving the tent, the person who was the most uneasy was Lan Xin. Although Shangguan Bing'er's voice was not loud, she could hear it clearly while waiting outside the tent. She thought that Shangguan Bing'er came to Haodu Khan so anxiously to persuade him to send troops to help Daliang, but she never expected that.
"Miss, are you telling the truth or is it just a delaying tactic?"
Shangguan Bing'er glanced at her and said, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Since I've married into the Northern Desert and become the Khan's princess, I'm a Northern Desert person in life and a Northern Desert ghost in death. Naturally, I must be loyal to my country. Wasn't that what my father taught me?"
"But Miss..." Lan Xin wanted to say something else, but Shangguan Bing'er was in no mood to listen to her. "Stop talking and go back."
"……yes."
Shangguan Bing'er's actions naturally caught the attention of Haodu and Hudu. At this moment, Haodu was really losing his temper. Was this woman really thinking about Beimo, or was she just too good at acting and doing it on purpose for them to see? "Khan, what do you think about this matter?"
After drinking the wine in his cup, Haodu Khan said, "She does have some truth in what she said, but these Liang people have always been cunning and scheming."
Ever since Shangguan Bing'er married into Beimo as a royal family, Haodu had treated her with no particular regard, providing her with plenty of food, clothing, and other necessities, but he had always been wary of giving her the chance to become a mother.
According to Haodu's spies, Shangguan Bing'er had remained calm since learning about the Liang Kingdom incident, and their every move and every word had been under their watch. However, they were very worried about Lan Xin, the young woman.
Hu Du expressed his opinion with some doubt: "I heard that Shangguan Quan sent her many letters. Her maid kept urging her to send them back, but she just looked at them and didn't even reply. Her father in the capital is extremely worried right now."
Seeing that Hudu actually had a glimmer of trust in this foreign woman, Haodu suddenly pulled a long face and sneered, "Heh, have you forgotten how our father was deceived by a woman from Liang?"
Seeing this, Hu Du quickly stood up, knelt on one knee with his head down and said, "Hu Du dare not forget!"
Haodu leaned back on the fur blanket and reminded him again, "Remember, none of these so-called noble ladies from Liang State are good people. Don't trust their words. Let's stick to our original plan and keep our troops in place."
"yes."
