Yi Xin as a concubine

These five days were nothing but torture for Xin Baoer. Her mentality was not as calm as she seemed. She couldn't sleep well for several nights, and the dark shadows under her eyes became clearer and clearer.

"Baoer, you can't do this. Your body can't take it. Erqi is really something. Why hasn't he come yet?" Zhao Xian came over with a bowl of tonic soup and couldn't help but say.

"I'm fine. Success or failure depends on this. It will only take one or two days." Xin Baoer took the bowl of soup and drank it in small sips.

"By the way, how is Xiaomu? Send her a bowl of soup. That child needs nourishment more than I do." Xin Baoer added.

"Oh, don't worry too much. It has been delivered a long time ago. Just drink more." Zhao Xian couldn't help but persuade her again when he saw that she was drinking slowly.

The days will not speed up or slow down because of anyone's nervousness or expectation, and the agreed date will arrive in the blink of an eye.

Xin Baoer almost did not sleep all night, but the reply letter did not arrive. Just when she decided to give up waiting and go to the palace to accept failure, a fast horse stopped in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Master, the letter." A man rolled off the horse and said weakly.

Xin Baoer took the small bamboo tube and asked people to settle the people and horses first before she unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

She carefully checked the note of just a few words over and over again, then a smile appeared on her lips and brows, and she walked easily into the carriage with the female guards from the palace who came to pick her up.

It was still the same hall, but this time there was not only the king there. There were also several old ministers who looked to be in high positions of power sitting at the bottom. They sat upright with serious looks on their faces.

Xin Baoer was so frightened that her steps towards the center of the hall paused. This scene didn't look like a negotiation but more like a trial.

Xin Baoer patted her chest secretly in fear and exhaled deeply. She had a faint smile on her face but felt uneasy in her heart. Her originally brisk steps became even heavier.

"My little girl greets the king and the adults." She bowed politely and looked well-behaved.

"The five-day deadline has arrived. Have you fulfilled your promise?" the king asked slowly.

Hearing this, Xin Baoer's heart calmed down. She raised the note in her hand above her head and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "King, please read this."

The attendant took the note and handed it to the king respectfully. While the king was reading the note, Xin Baoer continued, "According to the latest news, a few days ago, the border between Ximen inland and Nanzhao saw rare freezing rain, thousands of miles of ice, and countless livestock were killed or injured. Due to the lack of timely rescue, the refugee unrest has spread to Nanzhao."

"Nan Zhao was forced to step down?" After hearing this, an old minister half-closed his eyes and said in a mysterious tone, and several other old ministers also followed suit and whispered.

The king put down the note in his hand and asked in a low and tentative voice: "Do you have a past with Queen Nanzhao?"

Xin Baoer raised the corner of her mouth and said modestly: "I'm not familiar with him, we've only met a few times."

The king looked at the note on the table meaningfully. The tone of voice sounded familiar and it didn't seem like he was unfamiliar with the girl. However, he didn't care if the girl denied it.

Xin Baoer handed the note directly over with this idea in mind, but only Xin Baoer herself knew that the note was written by Tuya, the Queen's favorite, and they were really familiar with each other.

"Since the other party will arrive in three days, I will wait for three days." The king thought for a while and said directly.

"Yes." Xin Baoer said.

In fact, she was still a little anxious, but she was not afraid that Yingzhou could not wait. On the contrary, she was a little afraid that Simon would withdraw his troops ahead of time. Then all her hard preparations would be useless. How should she negotiate with those old scholars in Yingzhou?

But now the initiative is not in her hands, so she has to be patient. However, since she recovered from her illness, she has always been Buddhist in doing things. To put it bluntly, she has done her best and left the rest to fate. She did everything she could, and she did not force the result.

After the previous five days of suffering, in order not to worry her friends, she calmed down and wrote and painted for the past three days. Her mentality became better and better, and her thoughts became clearer.

Two days later in the evening, a blue cloth carriage appeared in a low-key manner at the back corner door of Manager Qian's house. Xin Baoer and the masters of the mansion had been waiting there early.

"My daughter greets Her Majesty the Queen and Your Excellency the Prince." Xin Baoer bowed and said with a smile.

"We are old friends, Bao'er, there is no need to be so formal. I am sorry to bother you today." The Queen said gently.

"What are you saying, Your Majesty? I feel honored to have you here. Please come in," said Xin Baoer.

Manager Qian had already ordered people to clean up the best courtyard, and the group went directly to the courtyard. There was a hidden man guarding the door, and the group sat down according to their status.

"Baoer, I have already known the letter you sent to me through the synchronization Gu, but I don't know the purpose of your doing this?" Tuya looked at the queen sitting at the top and asked after getting permission.

"My daughter is a businessman, so naturally she wants to do business."

Then Xin Baoer did not hide her plan in detail. She learned that she did all this just to make Yingzhou owe her a favor, and then use this favor in exchange for a group of gentlemen to settle in the Central Plains and create a cultural order that was admired by everyone. Even the empress looked at her with admiration.

"I didn't expect that Boss Xin is a man with a big picture." The Queen praised.

Xin Baoer nodded slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and said: "After all, I will live there for decades to come, so naturally I hope the environment will be better."

"Come with us into the palace tomorrow, time waits for no one," said the Queen.

"Yes." Xin Baoer responded.

The arrival of the Queen brought Xin Baoer one step closer to success. She slept particularly soundly that night and had no dreams until dawn.

Everything was normal in the palace. Since it was a secret meeting, red tape was avoided as much as possible.

"Your Majesty the Queen has come to our humble country and it is an honor for us!" The King of Seabuckthorn smiled brightly and seemed very hospitable.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I was impolite this time. Once the matter is resolved, I will visit you again with generous gifts." The queen gave the other party a standard state salute, and every move showed her majesty.

"Baoer, since you are the one who brought us together, why don't you tell us about the plan?" The Queen looked at her encouragingly.

Xin Baoer was not stage-frightened. After all, she had no way out at this moment. It was not like she thought her life was too long to tease the rulers of two countries.

"My people have secretly instigated the rebellion of Simon's second largest tribe, and have united the three tribes affected by the disaster to form a considerable force. They will cooperate with Seabuckthorn and Nanzhao at home and abroad to form two equally powerful opposing forces in Simon in the shortest possible time."

Xin Baoer said this confidently. The Queen and the King looked at her in surprise, especially the Queen. She had not heard her mention this when they met yesterday, so she looked at her with a bit of inquiry.

Xin Baoer looked at the Queen in a flattering manner, which softened the Queen's heart. After all, this girl was about the same age as her own daughter.

However, after this incident, the two kings became obviously more cautious in their attitude towards Xin Baoer.

Xin Baoer had expected this to happen, but she didn't care too much. She didn't intend to cheat them. She was just doing business and it was a fair deal.

It's just these few years. After these few years, even if she was asked to cheat them, she wouldn't be willing to bother with that.

"Well, I'll have to trouble Her Majesty the Queen. Could you please send the scouts... hehe, hehe."

Xin Baoer once heard a female general in the Nanzhao army say that the only men in Nanzhao who could use Gu were scouts. It wasn't a very powerful Gu insect, just the lowest grade mother-and-child Gu. However, it was very effective. It could pass the news received to the general carrying the mother Gu in the first place, and the effect was just like making a phone call in later generations.

Xin Baoer was very envious for a while and tried to inquire about it from many sources, but this Gu had very strict requirements on the host and could even affect the lifespan, so she gave up after hearing about it.

But now that we are all working together to fight monsters, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t use such a convenient thing?

"Do you know how much manpower and financial resources it takes for me to cultivate a batch of simultaneous Gu? The Gu worms also have a limited lifespan and cannot be used too often." The Queen said with concern.

"Thank you for your hard work, Queen. How about I give you a 10% discount on what is mentioned in the letter?" Xin Baoer stretched out a finger and said timidly, as if she was afraid that the other party would ask for too much.

The Queen held the teacup in her hand and slowly rubbed the rim of the cup. She seemed to be thinking, but in fact she was testing Xin Baoer's bottom line. Maybe the other party's psychological endurance was weaker, and the benefits she could gain would be greater.
