Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

The next day, King Zhuang was not seen, so he went to the Panqing camp outside the city. Cao Zhen took over the Panqing camp, and the horses for the expedition were shipped from the Changliu Horse Farm.

Changliu Horse Farm is the largest horse farm among the four kingdoms in the Gaoji Basin near Nanshu. All the mares in the farm are from the southwestern Gao Kingdom. The horses are of excellent quality, have strong explosive power on the battlefield, are not easily frightened in battle, are tall and mighty, and have smooth lines. They are the good horses that the dignitaries of the four kingdoms can hardly get at a great price.

Cao Zhen, dressed in military uniform and swinging a whip in his hand, walked towards the general's platform with Prince Zhuang. "My Lord, it's not that I don't believe you. After all, staying at Gao's horse farm for a long time is not decided by anyone, not even the emperor. We have made a plan to buy horses from Gao's horse farm. What should we do if Gao's horse farm refuses to sell them?"

King Zhuang couldn't help but think of what he asked Xie Jinzhao yesterday, "Do you want to go to the battlefield?" She said "Yes" without hesitation. At that moment, the light bursting from her eyes was like thousands of stars reflected in her eyes, bright and dazzling, and the night sky was illuminated by her.

He was willing to put everything in front of her. If she wanted to live a leisurely life in the backyard, he would give it to her. If she wanted to bloom like a brilliant light, he would do his best to fulfill her wish.

"This is not your concern!" Ling Qingchen was in a complicated mood at this moment. He knew that Xie Jinzhao would come to him today, but he still hid out in advance. He didn't know how to face her.

Is it Ling Qingchen's or Ling Jinglan's?

Suddenly I felt homesick.

He thought about it all night long, but still couldn't figure out what to tell her.

Ling Qingchen touched the soft sword at his waist, which was stained with his warmth.

After the Panqing camp was handed over to Ling Qingchen, it went through some reorganization and its appearance was completely different.

Cao Zhen began to call out the troops and generals. After pulling out several deputy generals and admonishing them, he brought out all the people who were to be taken away. The military discipline was strict and the military appearance was neat, unlike when they were brought back from the west.

"Take care on your way to the southwest this time!" Ling Qingchen patted Cao Zhen's shoulder, "I might go there in person when the time comes. If I can't go, I will send someone. You should discuss everything with her and listen to her opinions."

Cao Zhen was greatly surprised, "Your Majesty, who is this person you are talking about?"

"It has not been decided yet, don't ask about military information casually!"

Xie Jinzhao did not see Prince Zhuang. During lunch, she ate with Jiang Lingxue. "When are you leaving Beijing? What are your plans?"

"Why are you asking this? Why do you start to manage your senior brother now that you don't have to take care of the inner house?" Jiang Lingxue put a piece of meat into Xie Jinzhao's bowl. "Although girls can't get fat, they still have to eat meat. You practice martial arts every day, your body can't fall behind."

"I plan to go talk to King Zhuang." Xie Jinzhao looked up at him, "I want to make a deal with him. If he can send me to the battlefield, I will stay at the horse ranch and become his exclusive supplier in the future."

Jiang Lingxue choked on his rice and almost passed out. Xie Jinzhao patted his back and said, "Can't you eat slowly? You are so old, who can snatch the food from you?"

Jiang Lingxue was almost mad at her words, "Do you know what you said? You said you wanted to go to the battlefield!"

"There's no other way. I have too many enemies. I don't know any of those sinister schemes. The only thing I can do is kill them on the battlefield." Xie Jinzhao said these bloody words with confidence.

"Do you have any enemies? Lu Changyuan? Can he be considered your enemy? It's just a divorce. He offended you, and you didn't give him face. I heard that he came to apologize yesterday."

"Well, he stood at the door for a whole night. It was quite a show of affection. Unfortunately, my heart is as hard as iron. Not only did I not intend to forgive him, I also intended to kill the person who humiliated me!"

Jiang Lingxue gasped, "Zhao Zhao, why didn't I realize you were so petty before? Are you serious?"

Xie Jinzhao poked his senior brother's forehead with his slender finger, "Are you stupid? When I asked for a divorce, I had already offended the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. Do you think they will let me go? We have been enemies for a long time. Okay, let's not talk about me now, let's talk about you, when will you leave Beijing?"

"Why would I leave Beijing? You're divorced now and living alone out there, and I plan to keep you company."

Xie Jinzhao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Her senior brother couldn't let her go after all, fearing that she would be bullied by others in Shangjing City. "That's good. I didn't expect that in the end, we would still depend on each other."

“我没打算与你相依为命，你还是尽快再找个男人嫁了，我还有事呢。”江陵雪摇摇头，对她很失望，“要是师父知道，你青梅竹马的丈夫都嫌弃你，还被人抢了去，不知道会不会气得想从棺材里爬出来，把你揍一顿。”

"The person that Master wants to beat up must be you, right? How dare you say such outrageous words!"

Jiang Lingxue apologized to her master in her heart, "Zhao Zhao, what do you think of Prince Zhuang? Otherwise, you can marry Prince Zhuang. Although you have offended the Queen and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, I guess only the Emperor would dare to marry you. But that old man is too old. The Prince of Han and the Prince of Zhao have wives and concubines. I think Prince Zhuang is the most suitable among all the civil and military officials in the court."

Xie Jinzhao choked on a mouthful of soup. She coughed a few times and wiped her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "Brother, go to sleep for a while. You can dream about anything!"

What a joke! She is a divorced woman and she wants to marry King Zhuang?

"Don't wait for the master to crawl out and beat you. If King Zhuang hears what you said, you won't live past tomorrow." Xie Jinzhao pointed out a clear way for him, "How about you go to Fengye Tinghai to take shelter?"

Jiang Lingxue thought to himself, it's not that he was unwilling to help, but that he couldn't help. Ling Qingchen had caused this himself, so he should let him solve it himself.

In the palace, the aunt in charge of Fengzhi Palace came specifically to invite Xie Jinzhao, who was summoned by the Queen Mother.

The weather was a bit cold, and Xie Jinzhao did not change his clothes when he went out. There was only one carriage in the mansion, which was requisitioned by Yun Qing. He was going to discuss cooperation matters with Tuoba Yu's people today.

Xie Jinzhao had no choice but to ride there on horseback. It was winter, and she was not wearing a coat or a cloak. When she arrived at the Youyintai Gate against the wind, she was frozen to death.

But she was not allowed to leave.

Knowing that the Queen would definitely not let her off, Xie Jinzhao did not take it to heart. After she asked for clarification, she went to the Zuo Yintai Gate. From right to left, she had to go around half of the imperial city, which was quite far.

By the time they galloped past, another half hour had passed. The person who came to pick her up was a young eunuch from Fengzhi Palace. He had a very bad attitude and kept urging Xie Jinzhao to hurry up, saying that the Empress was waiting anxiously.

"Is the Empress in good health?" Xie Jinzhao said these polite words as she entered the palace. She restrained her cold and arrogant demeanor and became gentle and dignified, wearing a long dress with tight sleeves that gave her the feel of a palace dress.

“Hey, who is this?” The eldest princess came over from the Wangxian Terrace, squinted her eyes and saw that it was Xie Jinzhao, and scolded, “How dare you kneel down when you see me!”
