The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Emperor Jingren has been feeling increasingly unwell over the past two days.

Concubine Yan looked at Emperor Jingren's face, which looked like he was in decline. She couldn't help but support him with a distressed look and said:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work."

Since the death of the Queen, Emperor Jingren has almost never seen the other concubines in the harem, except for Concubine Yan who serves by his side every day.

He sighed, took Concubine Yan's hand, and said with emotion:

"In this world, you are the only one who loves me dearly."

Concubine Yan hugged Emperor Jingren's waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and said in a soft and tender voice:

"Because Your Majesty treats me well, I will naturally treat Your Majesty well."

After a pause, Concubine Yan couldn't help but ask again: "Your Majesty, why are you still so upset? Today, I heard that Khan Xinyi is fine, and there will be no more disputes between the two countries. Your Majesty should be relieved, right?"

Emperor Jingren glanced at Concubine Yan and said nothing.

Concubine Yan was startled, and quickly let go of Emperor Jingren, kneeling on the ground, and said in fear and trepidation:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean to pry into the affairs of the previous dynasty. It's just that this matter..."

The harem was not allowed to discuss state affairs, but Concubine Yan brought up matters of the previous dynasty, which naturally made Emperor Jingren dissatisfied.

In addition, after the former empress forced the emperor to abdicate, Emperor Jingren was even more wary of the harem.

Seeing Concubine Yan kneeling on the ground with a panicked look on her face, Emperor Jingren finally reached out his hand.

Concubine Yan was stunned for a moment, then carefully placed her hand on Emperor Jingren's hand, and stood up with the help of Emperor Jingren, but she did not dare to sit down again.

Emperor Jingren had no intention of letting Concubine Yan sit down, he just said:

"It's not your fault. The assassination of Khan Xinyi could not be suppressed."

After hearing this, Concubine Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked again:

"If that's the case, why is Your Majesty still so worried?"

Emperor Jingren was silent for a while, then he began to explain:

"Although we, Great Yong, are going to open border trade with these four countries, I am afraid that relying solely on the contract is not enough to make the four countries cooperate honestly."

"You know, although opening up border trade is extremely beneficial to Dayong, it is also beneficial to the other four countries. If they recover after this trade, and then come back with their troops..."

Emperor Jingren did not continue, but Concubine Yan understood.

It is true that Emperor Jingren wanted to cooperate with the four countries, but he was afraid that there was no way to involve the four countries and make them behave themselves.

A piece of paper is actually just to protect against gentlemen but not villains. Everyone knows how little binding force this contract has.

Emperor Jingren was afraid that, although a truce and trade were agreed upon now, in the near future, after the four countries were fed, they would once again be eyeing Dayong covetously.

Concubine Yan looked at Emperor Jingren's worried face and was silent for a while. Then she poured a cup of tea for Emperor Jingren and handed it to him, saying helplessly:

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision. I don't understand many things about the previous dynasty, but I feel that no matter how powerful the four countries are, they can never defeat our Great Yong."

"It's just like this teapot. Your Majesty, we are the teapot, and the four countries are just the small teacups beside it. If Dayong is willing, it can give them some benefits, but if Dayong is not willing, can't they just wait to die of thirst?"

Emperor Jingren was a little dazed for a moment when he heard Concubine Yan's words.

Teapot and teacups?

Emperor Jingren's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of something. He directly grabbed Concubine Yan's hand and said with a smile:

"Your Highness is really smart. If you want to make the relationship between the four countries and Dayong closer, you should be willing to invest money!"

Emperor Jingren stood up happily after saying this and was about to walk out with a happy face.

Concubine Yan wanted to call out to Emperor Jingren, but he had disappeared.

After Emperor Jingren's back was completely out of sight, Concubine Yan raised her eyebrows, chuckled, and leaned back in her chair.

That Princess Zhan is indeed a wonderful person, her prediction was absolutely correct.

Shen Qinglan was in the mansion and soon got the news.

In order to establish friendly diplomatic relations with the four countries, Emperor Jingren decided to make marriage alliances with them. In this way, the relations between the countries would naturally be maintained and become closer.

At least, after the marriage, it is estimated that this war will hardly break out again within a hundred years.

The person who reacted the fastest to this matter was Xie Shaoshang.

After learning about this, Xie Shaoshang was the first to enter the palace and directly asked to marry the second lady of Prince Zhan's mansion.

Emperor Jingren was a little surprised at first. When did the second young lady appear in Prince Zhan's mansion?

Because he didn't know the key point at the moment, Emperor Jingren didn't dare to agree directly, and said he would go to Prince Zhan's mansion to ask.

After receiving the message from Emperor Jingren, Shen Qinglan smiled and directly asked someone to reply to Emperor Jingren.

It is said that the Zhan Wang Mansion has just found the second daughter of the old Zhan Wang who was lost outside. The second daughter is naturally willing to serve the country and marry Xinyi.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingren immediately realized that this so-called second young lady who was lost outside was probably made up by Shen Qinglan and others.

Emperor Jingren, who realized it belatedly, remembered that when those people in the hall were accusing Shen Qinglan and others of assassinating Xie Shaoshang, they had mentioned the name of a personal maid of Shen Qinglan.

It can be seen that the Khan of Xinyi really liked this maid. Not only did he risk leaving Xinyi for this maid, but he even went so far as to give her a legitimate status.

He's a sentimental character.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of Emperor Jingren, the worst thing an emperor should do is to be obsessed with love between men and women, as this would make it too easy for the emperor to make wrong judgments.

However, Emperor Jingren was too lazy to remind the Khan of other countries.

He wished that Xie Shaoshang was a man who only cared about love. In that case, what would Xinyi have to fear?

Besides, Xie Shaoshang married a woman from Dayong as his Khatun, which was even better for Dayong!

After all, Khatun's son is a legitimate son, which means that the future Xinyi Khan is very likely to have half of Dayong's bloodline!

It's a good thing anyway!

Immediately, Emperor Jingren agreed!

Emperor Jingren not only agreed to the marriage, he also specially rewarded the second daughter of Prince Zhan's Mansion and named her Princess Anping, in order to maintain peace between the two countries.

When the imperial edict arrived at Prince Zhan's mansion, Shuwen was still a little confused.

She had no idea what had happened. She suddenly went from being a maid to the second lady of Prince Zhan's mansion, and then to a distinguished princess of a country!

After receiving the imperial edict, Shuwen, who was still holding the imperial edict in a daze, looked at Shen Qinglan anxiously.

"Princess, what is going on?"

Shuyu saw Shuwen's rare silly look and couldn't help but smile and said:

"What else could it be? The princess loves you so much! Look at you, you're such a fool!"

Although Shuyu is not very smart, she is not stupid either.

In the past two days, their princess has been constantly exchanging letters with Concubine Yan in the palace. It is definitely not just chatting for no reason.

Now that this imperial edict has come down, what else could Shuyu not understand?
