Mu Lingshuang's usually sharp eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment. She realized belatedly that perhaps her identity had been exposed when she was hiding under the bed.

"You...why are you in my room?" Mu Lingshuang's words were dry and a little awkward.

Mu Lingshuang was caught eavesdropping by the real person. Even though she had cultivated a thick skin, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Yuwan, on the other hand, looked indifferent, which made Mu Lingshuang, who was a little at a loss, look like the uninvited guest.

"Oh? Wasn't it the Fourth Princess who invited me? It turns out that I misunderstood." Jiang Yuwan said with a smile, and was about to get up and leave.

Mu Lingshuang was not at all surprised when she heard the other party reveal his identity.

It is rumored that the Princess of Jiang is smart, decisive, and extremely cunning. I think she has figured out her identity from the details during this period.

She didn't have the other person's keen insight, so she could only rely on her skills to find the answer herself. Fortunately, she was successful in hiding at the beginning, but she was careless later.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to face this embarrassing situation.

Mu Lingshuang regretted her own recklessness while quietly observing the other party's reaction.

Seeing that the other party was about to stand up and leave, Mu Lingshuang hurriedly stopped him:

"and many more."

Jiang Yuwan stopped walking out, but did not look back. She just waited quietly for Mu Lingshuang's next words.

Just as Jiang Yuwan was wondering whether the other party had the courage to speak frankly in the short term, Mu Lingshuang stopped Jiang Yuwan and asked directly:

"I would like to cooperate with the Jiang Kingdom. What do you think, Princess?"

As it turned out, Mu Lingshuang was much braver than she thought.

It's rare to meet such an interesting person, and Jiang Yuwan also became interested.

"Fourth Princess, please elaborate."

Seeing Jiang Yuwan sitting back in her previous seat, Mu Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression became serious again.

Unlike the State of Jiang, which had already struggled out of the quagmire, the State of Qi was now plagued by internal and external troubles and was in urgent need of help from a powerful country.

Jiang State and An State are undoubtedly the best choices, and the eldest princess sitting in front of him holds an important position in Jiang State.

At this time, how to convince the eldest princess of Jiang State is particularly important.

Mu Lingshuang thought for a moment and did not introduce the topic from the conflict between Qi and Liang. Instead, she planned to start from the situation where the countries were apparently harmonious but were actually becoming increasingly tense.

"It has been more than eight years since Emperor Jiang ascended the throne. The eldest princess has protected him all the way. She should be the one who understands the truth that the strong will prosper and the weak will perish the most. This time, Liang Kingdom wants to form an alliance with Jiang, An and Luo Kingdoms to spy on our Great Qi. This may be an attempt to test the intentions of Jiang and An. After all, the Queen of Luo Kingdom..." Mu Lingshuang did not finish her words. Jiang Yuwan already understood what she had not said.

After all, Liang and Luo have always been relatives by marriage...

If the current Queen of Luo State had not been too cruel and heartless (in simple terms, the Queen of Luo State did not care about her relatives in Liang State at all), the situation between Liang and Luo State would have been quite tense. In the past, the two countries had always advanced and retreated together.

If Liang succeeded in conquering Da Qi again, and Luo became friendly with Liang again, the situation in the world would change drastically...

Mu Lingshuang's remarks hit the nail on the head, which was also what Jiang Yuwan was worried about, otherwise she would not have stayed here to listen to her nonsense.

She also didn't say anything about the people sent by the Queen of Liang, who were set on fire by the new Queen of Luo.

Because the Queen of Luo and the Queen of Liang are both lunatics of the same lineage, the world of lunatics is different from that of ordinary people.

Who can be sure that this is not a novel way for the other party to express intimacy?

Although she thought so, Jiang Yuwan's expression did not change at all. She just looked at Mu Lingshuang calmly, waiting for her next words.

After all, it is Qi that is at a disadvantage now and is in urgent need of help. She wants to see how the other party plans to impress her?

After spending some time together, although she still admired the princess, it was unlikely that she would ask Jiang Guo for help if there was no benefit.

This brings us to Nan Xi's evaluation of his wife. In Nan Xi's opinion, her sister Wan is definitely a person who will not release the eagle until she sees the rabbit.

Although Jiang Yuwan was dissatisfied with Nan Xi's remarks, she had to admit that her evaluation was still very pertinent.

Because she is usually too lazy to do things that don't see any benefits. Wouldn't it be better for her to accompany her wife to travel around in her spare time?

Mu Lingshuang glanced at the seemingly unmoved Princess Jiang, and cursed the old fox in her heart, but said with a sincere look on her face:

"Although Qi is weak today, both men and women can serve in the army. We do not care about the mere Liang State. However, if Jiang State is willing to form an alliance with Qi and advance and retreat together, Qi can open some trade channels to Jiang State, and for three years, all Jiang State caravans entering and leaving Qi State will only collect 50% tax."

Jiang Yuwan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

You must know that in the past, even if the people of Qi were starving to death, the monarch of Qi would not open up trade routes to the outside world.

Of course, she also knew that because Qi was located in a remote area and the land was barren, in the time of Qi's ancestors, the people of Qi often suffered losses when purchasing grain from foreign countries. The king of Qi at that time was furious and issued an edict: All the people of Qi must work hard in farming, strengthen themselves, and not beg for mercy from neighboring countries for a bowl of rice.

From then on, the soldiers and civilians of Qi would rather starve to death than buy food from other countries at high prices.

Gradually, all foreign trade of Qi State came to a halt.

At first, the other countries did not take it seriously because they were sure that Qi’s grain production was insufficient and it would not last long.

But when Qi was determined not to open its market to the outside world, the other countries began to panic.

You must know that although Qi's grain production is not good, due to its special geographical location, it has many precious medicinal materials and other resources that other countries do not have. Now that Qi does not need their food, it naturally will not allow them to get those things.

For many years afterwards, and even today, various countries have been trying to persuade Qi to open up to foreign trade, but unfortunately, the kings of Qi have remained unmoved.

In Jiang Yuwan's opinion, Qi State has not been in contact with the outside world for hundreds of years. Even though it is located in a barren area, it should have many precious resources. Jiang State is still relatively rich now. If it can be the first to establish foreign trade with Qi State, there will definitely be many benefits.

However, she did not agree directly. Although the fourth princess of Qi held an important position in the Qi army, it did not mean that her political views would be recognized by the court. This matter was still worth discussing.
