"Didn't the Helian tribe disappear a long time ago?" Da Ni'er asked, as if she were just watching a melon, showing no respect for being an audience member.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes; it was indeed the head of the Yalan family.
"It was Hao Lianchen and I who did it."
“When I was a child, your grandfather ruled the grasslands. Back then, the grasslands were truly a place where people were starving and unable to make a living.”
“I grew up with the Imperial Advisor. Back then, we were herding horses for the Haolian tribe together. When we rode together, he said that we should make the grassland better, not like it is now.”
“I told him that this is also what I have been thinking about. I want the people of the grasslands to live a life that is not so hard, just like the people of the Central Plains.”
"Later, he took a master as his teacher and succeeded."
"But it still won't work. The grasslands don't grow crops or weave cloth. The grasslands lack too many things. Even if your grandfather is gone, there are others. As long as the grasslands are under the control of the Yalan Royal Court, most grassland people will have a hard time living."
“When I was young, I was fair-skinned, unlike women from the grasslands. I came here because there was an opportunity to enter the palace.”
Huo Xiaolong and the little girl stood on the ground, listening intently.
Vermilion is another name for red flowers.
"Why did you come? I don't believe there isn't a fair-skinned girl on the grassland. You like Hao Lianchen, so you're happy to come?" Da Ni'er asked.
These words infuriated the Empress Dowager.
She looked at Dani and asked in return:
"If the Prince of Zhenbei can conquer the grasslands for the people of Great Yan, why can't I infiltrate Great Yan for the sake of the people of the grasslands? It's just that Hao Lianchen's ambitions are the same as mine. How can trivial matters of the heart hinder my great cause!"
Oh dear, this made things quite awkward for Da Ni'er. After all that talk, it was all about the grasslands, which was supposed to be quite heroic.
Lan Tingche didn't listen at all. He stood beside Long'er and looked around, worried that the Empress Dowager might have some underhanded tricks up her sleeve.
It wasn't that he didn't hate, it was that the Marquis of the Southwest felt that once the person was dead, the matter would be over.
What else do you want? To kill her whole family?
Her whole family died, leaving only the emperor, who also died.
"Ya Lanqing".
The Empress Dowager's voice startled Da Ni'er, as it had been a long time since anyone had called her by that name.
“Manage the people of the grasslands well. If... they are truly as you say, able to eat their fill and stay warm, then it doesn’t matter who the master of the grasslands is.”
“Prince Zhenbei, don’t tell Hong’er that I am Honghua. I have used him a lot. From the moment he was born, he has been a pawn in my hands.”
Neither of them replied to her. Da Ni'er felt that the grassland people were living quite well these days, so there was no need for them to agree to her request.
Huo Xiaolong arranged everything perfectly.
As for Long'er, her mind was racing, wondering whether or not to tell the Emperor.
"It's dawn, I should get going. I'll leave the grasslands to you two."
Haolian Zhu Hong's death was not as heroic as one might imagine, nor was it as hysterical or resentful. She accepted her fate and, while alive, used every means to fight and did her best to bring down the two wise rulers of the Great Yan.
As for Huo Xiaolong, she no longer had the strength to fight.
Just die, there will be no regrets anyway.
Her head maid also drank the medicine and accompanied her.
Da Nier looked at Huo Xiaolong and asked:
Where will she be buried after she dies?
"Imperial tomb?"
Huo Xiaolong was also unsure.
Lan Tingche then spoke up:
“Burn her to ashes and take her back to the grasslands. I think the Yuwen family patriarch would be upset to see her.”
"How can you feel at ease then? What about your parents..."
“My parents don’t want to see her either. They want her to go back to where she came from.”
