I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The night wind brought a hint of coolness, blowing on Baona's cheek, bringing her back to reality from her joy.

She stared at the direction where the vague black shadow disappeared in the night, and alarm bells rang in her heart.

Although the Qidiao tribe no longer opposed her plan on the surface, she couldn't let go of the complicated look in their eyes.

She turned around and saw the Queen's figure, standing tall and straight in the soft candlelight.

The queen's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if she could see through her heart.

"Are you worried?" The Queen's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

"Well," Bona admitted, "I always feel like things aren't that simple."

The queen walked over to her, reached out her hand, and gently patted the back of Baona's hand. The warm touch instantly dispelled the uneasiness in her heart.

Their eyes met in the air, and an indescribable feeling quietly grew between them, ambiguous and warm.

"Don't worry," the Queen said firmly, "I will take care of everything."

However, this brief peace was soon broken.

The next day, during her routine diplomatic inspection, Baona once again discovered the sneaky figure of the Qidiao tribe's diplomatic envoy.

He shuttled between the camps of various tribes, talking in low voices and laughing sinisterly from time to time.

Baona immediately realized that he was secretly fanning the flames and trying to undermine the tribes' trust in her. She quickly stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Emissary Qidiao," Baona's voice was filled with anger, "What are you doing?"

When the Qi Diao envoy saw that he was discovered, he did not panic, but instead showed a cunning smile.

"I'm just catching up with old friends. Lady Baona, there's no need to be so nervous."

"Reminiscing about the past? I think you want to sow discord!" Baona retorted bluntly.

The Qi Diao envoy's face darkened and his tone became gloomy.

"Lady Baona is wrong. I am simply reminding you all not to be deceived by sweet talk."

The two sides exchanged harsh words, the atmosphere was full of gunpowder, and a tense atmosphere spread.

Representatives from the surrounding tribes stopped to watch, each with a different look on their face.

Upon seeing this, Foreign Minister Gongshan quickly stepped forward to try to mediate.

"Everyone, please talk things over nicely and don't hurt the harmony."

However, the Qi Diao envoy refused to accept his words and continued to challenge him, "I'm just telling the truth. Don't tell the truth is forbidden?"

Baona sneered, "The truth? The truth you're talking about is nothing but a conspiracy!"

The Qi Diao envoy was choked and speechless for a moment. He pointed at Bao Na in anger but could not say anything.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the wise man of the Lezheng tribe suddenly said, "I think there may be another hidden story behind this matter..." His voice was low and magnetic, as if he was talking to himself, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

The words of Le Zhengzhizhe are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Everyone turned their eyes to the old man who had remained silent. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"Oh? I wonder what the wise man has to say?" Baona asked calmly, but she was secretly alert in her heart.

Le Zhengzhizhe slowly raised his head, his eyes wandering among the crowd. "I just feel that the Qi Diao envoy's actions may not be entirely intentional. I don't know if there is someone behind this."

Baona's heart moved, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

Her eyes looking at the Qidiao messenger became sharper, as if she wanted to see through him.

Her mind raced, and she suddenly remembered that she had seen several unfamiliar figures near the Qidiao tribe camp before. Those people were in a hurry and behaved stealthily. Now she thought that they must be related to this matter.

"What a behind-the-scenes instigator!" Bao Na sneered, "Emissary Qi Diao, do you dare to say that everything you did was your own idea?"

The Qidiao envoy's eyes flickered as he tried to defend himself, "I, I just..."

Bao Na interrupted him before he could finish, her tone firm and forceful, "I've sent people to investigate, and someone witnessed you meeting privately with several unknown individuals! You must be plotting something unspeakable!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Representatives from various tribes whispered to each other, and their trust in the Qi Diao envoy instantly dropped to freezing point.

"You...you are talking nonsense!" The Qi Diao envoy was furious and his face flushed red. He pointed at Bao Na but could not come up with any effective rebuttal.

Baona didn't give him any chance. "Facts speak louder than words. What else do you have to say?" She asked sternly, with an imposing manner that shocked the whole audience.

The Qi Diao envoy was speechless. He knew that he had been completely exposed and could only retreat in disgrace, leaving behind a mess.

The tribal representatives looked at Baona with eyes full of awe and admiration, and an atmosphere of admiration enveloped the entire conference hall.

After the negotiations, dusk fell and the Queen asked Baona to come to a quiet bamboo forest alone.

The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze, as if whispering.

The cold moonlight shines through the bamboo leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, creating a hazy and romantic atmosphere.

The queen looked at Baona quietly. Baona's heart began to beat uncontrollably, and an indescribable throbbing spread in her chest.

"You did a great job today." The Queen's voice was gentle and low, with a subtle magnetism.

Baona's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the Queen's eyes, and replied softly, "This is what I should do."

The Queen took a step closer, and the distance between them suddenly shortened. Baona could clearly feel the faint fragrance coming from the Queen.

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if time had stopped, everything around them became blurred, and only the sound of each other's breathing remained.

The ambiguous feelings between the two grew stronger, like a spring breeze, stirring each other's heartstrings.

The Queen raised her hand and gently brushed a strand of hair by Baona's ear, her movements gentle and ambiguous.

"You..." The Queen spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

"Lord Baona, the leader of the Rangsi tribe would like to invite you to attend their tribal banquet..."

After the messenger reported, Baona looked at the Queen apologetically. The Queen nodded slightly and said, "Go. The friendship of the Rangsi Tribe is very important to us."

The camp of the Rangsi tribe was brightly lit, with bonfires burning brightly, reflecting the happy smiling faces of the people.

The aroma of barbecue filled the air, accompanied by cheerful drum beats and music, making the place very lively.

The leader of the Rangsi tribe warmly welcomed Baona, led her to the seat of honor, and personally filled her glass with fine wine.

"Lady Baona, thanks to your keen observation, we prevented the villain from succeeding today." The leader raised his glass to toast, his tone full of admiration.

Baona raised her glass in response, "You are too kind, Chief. Maintaining peace is everyone's responsibility." She took a sip, and the spicy wine slid down her throat, bringing a warmth.

During the banquet, a sudden incident almost broke the harmony of the party.

The warriors of the two tribes had an argument over a disagreement and were about to come to blows.

Seeing this, Bao Na immediately stood up and walked between the two men, calmly persuading them. She cleverly resolved the conflict between the two and took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of unity.

Everyone applauded and praised Baona's wisdom and courage.

Baona was enveloped in the light of glory. She gracefully responded to the toasts from the leaders of various tribes, chatting and laughing, and her every gesture showed the demeanor of a diplomat.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.

However, behind the lively banquet, Baona always remained vigilant in her heart.

She knew that the road of diplomacy was full of thorns and traps, and that one could fall into an irretrievable situation if one was not careful.

After the banquet, Baona walked alone on the way back to the camp. The night wind blew her clothes, bringing a hint of coolness.

She looked up at the starry sky, which was dotted with stars and sparkled brightly.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past her from behind. She turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.

"Who?" Baona asked vigilantly, holding the dagger tightly in her hand.

In the silent night sky, only the sound of light footsteps could be heard, approaching from afar...
