The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Beirong has always been a strong enemy of Daxia.

This is not to say that Beirong is really strong, but that this nation is very ambitious and too warlike. They will have to fight a war every few years. After all, wars always waste people and money, which makes Daxia very annoyed and takes a lot of money. He had no choice but to accompany him every time.

Neighbors like Beirong would not bother anyone if they were left alone?

If the border cannot be stabilized, the lives and property of the people cannot be guaranteed, and soldiers will bleed and die due to war. Unless it is for great achievements, no emperor will like war.

But if Lu Zan can help Qi Yanjin rise to power, then relying on the sibling relationship between Qi Yanjin and Jing Shu, he can at least ensure that there will be peace on the border for more than ten years.

In this way, whether it is Daxia or Beirong, the people of both countries will benefit.

Since Lu Zan decided to help Qi Yanjin, he naturally had to negotiate all the conditions. Fortunately, he did not take advantage of the situation and talked about things that would be beneficial to the people of the two countries.

After the two of them had negotiated, Qiyan Jin was ready to return to Beirong with Qiyan Mingzhu.

On the occasion of farewell, Jingshu called the brother and sister to Yicui Palace to talk to them.

Jing Shu first said a lot to Qi Yan Jin with a serious expression.

"Once you decide to go back and fight for the throne, it will probably be difficult for us siblings to see each other again in the future. You said before that only by becoming the emperor of Beirong can you protect your sister. What I want to tell you is that only you can Only by protecting the people can you secure this position. Do you want to be an emperor who enjoys great achievements, or an emperor who loves his people like a son and whose reputation will be passed down through history? These thoughts of yours will determine how you act in the future.

"The second thing is that the situation in Beirong is different from that in Daxia. The power in all parts of Daxia is concentrated in one emperor, but your Beirong is scattered in the hands of different tribes. You have to remember that only by keeping the power of these tribes firmly Take it into your own hands, clearly reward and punish different tribes, and make them fear you, so that you can hold on to your power more tightly.

"Maybe it will take you a lifetime to do this, but as long as you have perseverance and take it step by step, you will always achieve something."

Qi Yanjin listened to her carefully.

After she finished speaking, she nodded solemnly and said, "Sister, I will remember these words for the rest of my life."

When Jing Shu heard this, she smiled at him tenderly and happily: "Sister, if I believe in you, you will surely ascend to the throne of God smoothly, and you will definitely become the best emperor in the history of Beirong."

Her words made Qi Yanjin lower her eyes shyly.

Beside, Qiyan Mingzhu couldn't help but tugged on Jingshu's sleeves.

"Sister, what about me?"

She looked at Jingshu longingly and waited obediently.

"You, if possible, my sister would like to keep you by my side and take care of you for the rest of my life, but your temperament definitely does not belong to a place like the deep palace with only a small four-corner sky but full of intrigues. You should go under the blue sky and the vast grassland , ride your horse and run as much as you want. In the future, if you are interested in political affairs, you can help your brother. If you like the army, you can become a female general in the army. After all, your brother has made up his mind. To protect you, just be free and happy."

Jingshu touched Qiyan Mingzhu's little face and her tone was quite gentle.

Qiyan Mingzhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Then sister, can I not get married in the future?"

She couldn't help but ask again, with a bit of sadness in her expression, "My mother always said that if a man likes someone, it's good to have fun with him for a few days. I also think that men are like clothes. If you don't like them, you just throw them away." .

"But now, I don't understand what my mother is doing. I feel like there is something wrong with her, but I can't explain it.

"I just feel that I never want to be with any man in the future. I just want to be alone and be carefree all my life."

When Jing Shu listened, she felt something in her heart that she couldn't explain.

Her thoughts in her previous life were actually somewhat similar to Love's.

But the difference between her and Love is that Love is like a creeping flower. To her, a man is a vine that she can cling to, not a piece of clothing that she can throw away at will as she said.

Jingshu had money and status in her previous life, so she could really live a good life without relying on any man.

In this life, she chose to be with Lu Zan and had a daughter, so the first thing she did was naturally be responsible for her daughter.

In comparison, Jingshu felt that Love was more selfish.

This kind of selfishness is absolute egoism. Jingshu asked herself that she couldn't do it to Love's level because she couldn't let go of her daughter.

"Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. Brothers and sisters work together and can defeat gold. You can only walk on your own on the way forward. I will send a few royal guards to escort you back to Beirong. When the situation becomes more serious in the future, If you don’t need them anymore, I will bring them back.”

Jing Shu gave a few final instructions, and then prepared for them to leave.

To show his sincerity, Lu Zan also sent a group of imperial guards disguised as a caravan to quietly escort them back to Beirong.

The envoys previously sent by Beirong continued to be detained in the capital by Lu Zan on the grounds that the peace talks had not yet been resolved to prevent them from doing bad things.

On the day the brother and sister left, Jingshu was unable to leave the palace to see them off due to her status.

As soon as they left, Jingshu felt a little inexplicably lost.

But after all, she was not a person who worried about gains and losses, so she just lost her temper for a moment and quickly regained her composure.

The harem also returned to peace.

The last time Concubine Chen kidnapped the Queen Mother, she was very frightened. After Concubine Chen was arrested, the Queen Mother rested for a few days to recover from the fright. She even left the palace at night and went to Hanshan Temple to worship Buddha.

Jingshu was really happy for her to leave the palace.

You don't have to find fault with yourself as soon as you meet.

Previously, Lu Zan demoted Concubine Ning to a noble concubine in order to seduce Concubine Chen.

Jing Shu thought that after this matter was over, he would restore Ning Fei's status.

But who would have expected that on this day, Lu Zan took Jing Shu to Xianfu Palace, and when he saw Ning Guifei, he asked her directly: "I give you two choices.

"The first option is that I will restore your status and you will continue to stay in the palace as Concubine Ning.

"Second, I will give you death. After you take the fake death medicine, I will quietly send you out of the palace and arrange for you to meet Pei Shanyu. From now on, you will no longer have to live for your family, and I will not blame you. For your family, you can be yourself.

"I didn't do this out of good intentions. On the one hand, I also have my own selfish motives. On the other hand, you and Shu'er are sisters. You have helped her. She must hope that you don't have to bear anything in the future and just do it for yourself. Live, so I give you this choice, Concubine Ning, please think about it."

Not to mention Concubine Ning, even Jing Shu was quite surprised when she heard what Lu Zan said.

Is this still the Lu Zan she knew?

At first, Zhang Zhaoyi was just in his own palace, comforting each other with the palace maids. When Lu Zan found out about it, he immediately killed Zhang Zhaoyi... But now, he is actually willing to let Ning Gui go?
