Crossing the grassland, the rough general, please set me free

At this time, Lin Shu was like a small boat, drifting on the sea, rising and falling with the waves, unable to find a shore to dock.

Early the next morning, Yan Lie left the tent with a satisfied look on his face.

Before leaving, he also instructed Donzhu to take good care of the Queen Mother.

Dunzhu's face flushed. Every time the Khan had this expression, it must have been last night...

Turning around and entering the big tent, I saw clothes scattered all over the floor, just as I expected. I guess there must have been a fierce battle last night.

But you have to be careful, the Queen Consort is still pregnant.

He picked up all the clothes on the floor and walked to the felt couch. Lin Shu was sleeping half wrapped in a blanket.

The skin exposed to the air was covered with ambiguous red marks.

Dunzhu gently pulled up the blanket and covered Lin Shu.

He picked up the clothes on one side and left the tent, put them in the basin and washed them carefully.

Just then, a noise was heard not far from the camp.

The Queen Mother was resting. Dunzhu put down the clothes in his hands and walked over to see a middle-aged woman talking to the guards.

"what happened?"

When the guard saw that the visitor was Dunzhu, he immediately replied, "Miss Dunzhu, this is the wife of the leader of the Yanqing tribe, and she wishes to see the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Consort hasn't gotten up yet."

Habul hurried forward and said with a smile,

"Miss Dunzhu, could you please help pass on the message? I have an urgent matter to discuss with the Queen Mother. If I'm any later, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Too late? The Queen Mother never asks about the affairs of the clan. If you have anything to ask, you can go to Lord Geshu or the Khan."

Of course Dunzhu knew what happened last night, and also understood the purpose of Habul's visit. He didn't want to disturb Lin Shu's rest, so he spoke patiently.

"Miss Dunzhu, please, only the Queen Consort can help us with this matter. Please help me pass the message."

Habul's voice has attracted some tribesmen to watch.

Seeing this, Dunzhu was also a little annoyed.

"You are really strange. Your daughter drugged my Queen Consort and almost caused her to have a miscarriage. How dare you come to beg for mercy?"

When Habul heard this, he cried even louder.

"My daughter was misled by someone and made such a big mistake. It's our fault for not disciplining her properly. Please help me, Miss Dunzhu. I will definitely remember your kindness."

"You..." Dunzhu was about to fight back.

At the same time, a voice was heard.

"Dunzhu."

It turned out that Lin Shu had been standing at the door of the tent, looking at this side without knowing when.

Dunzhu trotted over and told her what had happened.

After hearing this, Lin Shu looked at Habul who looked haggard across from him.

"Bring her here."

"Ah, Queen Dowager, she is here to plead for Mingzhu." Dunzhu reminded from the side.

"I know. Let her come over." Lin Shu glanced in the direction of Habul, turned and entered the tent.

Soon, Donzhu came with Habur.

As soon as he saw Lin Shu, Habul immediately bowed deeply.

"Please sit down, ma'am. Dunzhu, bring the tea." Lin Shu made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, Queen."

Habul had seen Lin Shu at the banquet. He was sitting a little far away at the time, so he couldn't see her closely. If she were right in front of him, he would have thought that women in the Central Plains were different from those here.

Her skin is as white and tender as milk, she has deer-like eyes, long eyelashes, and rosy lips. It is no wonder that the Khan loves such a woman so much.

"Grand Consort, I came here today to ask you to save my daughter. She is young and was deceived by someone, which is why she did such a foolish thing. I know I shouldn't come to you for help, after all, you are the victim, but I really have no choice. Grand Consort, you and I are both mothers, please have mercy on me as a mother."

Whenever Lin Shu thought about how he had let Helian Zhen go so many times before, but she still didn't change her ways, he would get angry.

"Oh? Madam, you said it yourself. You and I are both mothers. What mother doesn't love her own child? I'm lucky this time that the child is fine. But have you ever thought about what would happen if Mingzhu succeeded? Who would I cry to?"

After hearing this, Habul could no longer sit still. He walked directly to Lin Shu and knelt down, crying and sobbing.

"Grand Consort, I beg you. It is up to you to punish the child. Please, for the sake of my wife and I sincerely adhering to the Balin tribe, spare Mingzhu's life."

Lin Shu knew that killing offspring was a serious crime in the clan.

Just now she mentioned seeking refuge again.

Yes, they had just surrendered and this happened. It may affect the relationship between the two ethnic groups in the future.

After the baby is born next year, she and Yan Lie will just pack up and leave, and their two tribes will continue to get along.

Are we going to let Mingzhu and Helian Zhen go so easily?

Thinking of this, a nameless anger surged in my heart, especially that Helian Zhen. Why did she always come out and cause trouble again and again? This was really unbearable!

"I already know the purpose of your visit, Madam. But you must also be aware that I am not from here. Everything I do here must follow the rules of the clan. Therefore, how this matter should be handled ultimately depends on the clan's opinion."

"Grand Consort, we all know that the Khan values you the most. As long as you ask, the Khan will definitely agree. Please, please forgive my daughter."

At this moment, Lin Shu suddenly thought of something. Previously, when Geshu sent people to lobby the other tribes, it didn't seem to be going so smoothly.

How about that?

After dealing with Mingzhu according to clan rules, he did calm down, but this would also create resentment among the Yanqing tribe.

Then why not do something practical to maximize your benefits?

"Madam, we are all mothers, so put yourself in their shoes. How you feel now is exactly how I felt back then!"

Habul was stunned, and the luster in his eyes faded. He really hated himself for not taking good care of Mingzhu. His whole body went limp, and he knew that there was no turning back.

Seeing this, Lin Shu changed the subject.

"However, will I make a suggestion to the Khan on this matter? As for the final decision, it still depends on the tribe's opinion."

"What? Queen, are you willing to save my Mingzhu? Is that true?"

Habul's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Shu in front of him with disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, and his voice became a little hoarse with excitement.

"I will discuss this matter with the Khan."

"My Queen, I believe that with just a word from you, my pearl will be fine. Thank you so much. If you need me in the future, I will not refuse you."

"Okay. I'll take note of what Madam Haber said. I hope you won't forget what I said today."

Habul changed his previous decadence and his eyes became bright again.

"Don't worry, Queen. We, the children of the grassland, value our promises the most."
