Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

While the emperor and Yunxi were sympathizing with the people at the market in the capital outside the palace, they were immersed in this unique life among the people and enjoying this rare time of freedom.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from far away, breaking the silence. Everyone looked over and saw a group of dusty people and horses slowly walking towards them.

The leader was a graceful and beautiful woman, wearing bright nomadic costumes, as light and moving as a dancing butterfly. This woman was Ayiduo, the princess of the Turkic tribe who once regarded Yunxi as a rival in love.

At this moment, Ayiduo looks a little tired, but her unique exotic charm is still hard to ignore. Her beauty is like a flower blooming on the grassland, exuding a charming charm.

The emperor and Yunxi looked at each other, and both of them showed a hint of surprise. They never thought that they would meet Turks here, especially this woman who had made Yunxi suffer so much. Yunxi knew that Ayiduo's appearance was definitely extraordinary, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

Ayiduo seemed to have sensed their gazes, and she turned around with a surprised smile on her face. She quickly dismounted and walked lightly towards the emperor and Yunxi, with joy in her eyes. She walked up to them and greeted Yunxi with a smile: "Yang Yunxi, I didn't expect to see you as soon as I entered the capital of the Tang Dynasty. What a coincidence!" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, as if she had completely forgotten all the entanglements between her and Yunxi in the past.

Yunxi was slightly stunned, then responded with a smile: "Yes, Princess Ayiduo, we haven't seen each other for a long time." She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart. She didn't expect to meet Ayiduo here.

Aiduo nodded gently and continued, "I came to the Tang Dynasty this time to ask for an important matter. My tribe is not at peace now, and the situation is turbulent. Due to some complicated reasons, we have been excluded and ignored by other tribes, and our situation is difficult. Facing political pressure from all sides, it is really difficult for us to bear it independently. Therefore, my father sent me to the Tang Dynasty to seek help, hoping to get the protection of the Tang Dynasty."

Ayiduo's eyes revealed deep worry, and her tone was sincere and genuine. She continued, "Yang Yunxi, you have been an envoy of the Tang Dynasty to the Turks, so you must have a certain status and influence in the court. I wonder if you can help me plead with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask him to give us assistance?"

She looked at Yunxi expectantly, as if she had placed all her hopes on him. Yunxi was silent for a moment, then answered seriously: "Princess Ayiduo, I will do my best, but the final decision still needs to be made by the emperor. However, I can take you to meet the emperor and let you personally explain your predicament and request to him."

Ayiduo nodded gratefully, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She knew that this was a rare opportunity and the last hope to save the tribe.

Yunxi turned to look at the emperor with a questioning look in her eyes. The emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Yunxi's statement and signaled that she should handle the matter.

Yunxi immediately understood the emperor's intention. She turned around and said to Ayiduo, "Princess Ayiduo, this matter is of great importance. I need to report it to the court. Your Majesty and the ministers will discuss it together before making a decision."

Aiduo looked at Yunxi with gratitude and said sincerely: "Thank you, Yunxi. I believe that the Tang Dynasty will not refuse our request." Yunxi smiled and responded: "Princess, don't worry, I will do my best to make this happen. But before that, I hope that the princess can stay in the capital for a while and wait for the result."

The emperor said at the right time: "Princess, you can go to the post station to rest for a while."

At this time, Ayiduo also noticed the emperor standing beside Yunxi, who was very impressive. He exuded a majestic and solemn aura that made people feel awe.

"Is this your husband?" Aida looked at the emperor and asked tentatively.

Yunxi smiled shyly, nodded gently, and replied softly, "Yes."

Ayiduo showed a puzzled look on her face and continued to ask: "You didn't marry the lover who came to Turkestan to take you away..." She stopped talking halfway because she saw the emperor's gloomy face and realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Yunxi's face changed slightly when she heard this. She knew that Ayiduo was talking about Han Xuan. Although she just said it unintentionally, I wonder what the emperor would think and feel when he heard such words.

For a moment, everyone fell into silence and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Just when Yunxi didn't know how to respond, the emperor finally broke the deadlock and said lightly: "Why mention the past again. Princess, it's getting late, why don't you go to the inn and rest first." His voice was calm and gentle, making it impossible to detect his true emotions.

"Yunxi, how can I contact you then? I need your help in requesting the emperor to support our tribe." Ayido asked expectantly.

"You guys settle down at the post station first, I will send someone to contact you." Yunxi said.

So Yiduo thanked them and went towards the post station under Yunxi's guidance.

After Ayiduo left, Yunxi stood there silently, secretly lamenting the fickleness of fate. She once thought she would spend her life with Han Xuan, but now she has returned to the emperor because of the prince.

The emperor turned his head and looked at Yunxi, his eyes flashing with complex light. He slowly said: "I hope you can forget the past and stay with me wholeheartedly."

Yunxi lowered her head and replied softly, "I understand."

The emperor nodded to show his satisfaction. He looked at Aida's back as she left, seeming to be thinking about something.

After Ayiduo left for a while, the emperor looked at Yunxi, "Yunxi, what do you think about this matter?"

Yunxi said softly, "Your Majesty, the Turkic tribes have always been at odds. If we can help Ayiduo's tribe stabilize the situation this time, it will not only demonstrate the prestige of our Tang Dynasty, but also promote peace on the border."

The emperor nodded. "That's true, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. The most urgent task now is to find out what happened inside the Turkic people. Perhaps we can send someone to investigate secretly and make sure we get the real situation."

Yunxi pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, the fighting between the Turkic tribes has been going on for a long time. If we can take this opportunity to win over a tribe, it will also be beneficial to our Tang Dynasty. However, we need to investigate in detail to avoid inviting a wolf into the house." The emperor nodded in agreement. "I'll leave this matter to you."
