The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Hall of Qinzheng

After hearing the report from Prince Jin, the Emperor asked, "Didn't the shield work?"

“Your Majesty, even if those shields can withstand the fire muskets, we still need to attack to repel the barbarian soldiers. I heard from the Nanzhao general that the barbarians also have shields,” said Prince Jin.

"Indeed, we can't hide behind the shield forever. Alright, you can go back now! Tomorrow I will issue a decree to see if anyone can offer a good solution with a generous reward!"

"Yes, I resign!"

The next day, not long after the negotiations began, Eunuch Fu came to deliver the imperial decree.

After reading the imperial decree, Eunuch Fu held it up and said, "Is there any official who will receive this decree? If not, this decree will be placed in the Minghua Hall. If any of you have a good strategy, you can take this decree to His Majesty."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the imperial edict suddenly flew up and landed in Jingxue's hands.

Those inside the hall were surprised by what they saw, while others had expected it.

Wang Hansheng asked, "Princess Consort Zhan, what do you mean by this?"

"Are you stupid? Can't you see what I mean? I, the Princess Consort, will accept this imperial decree!" Jingxue rolled her eyes after saying that.

"This is unfair! You have essentially stolen the imperial edict. Why don't you kneel to receive it? Princess Consort, you are too domineering! Besides, what plan do you have to make the foreign troops withdraw without losing a single soldier? Could it be that you are colluding with that foreign country? Everyone, tell me, is what I said reasonable?"

Prime Minister Zou said, "Indeed, it is against the rules and unbecoming of a queen consort! Why don't you, Queen Consort Zhan, present your strategy for everyone to judge? Fortunately, the envoy from Nanzhao is here!"

“Show it to you? It seems you’re not qualified enough? The Nanzhao envoys will see it naturally. Don’t sow discord and stir up hatred here! Saying that I, the princess, am colluding with foreign tribes, are you tired of living?” Jingxue stood up and looked at Prime Minister Zou and Wang Hansheng.

Wang Hansheng also stood up, his neck stiff, and said to Jingxue, "What? Princess Consort Zhan, are you going to kill me?"

Jingxue raised the imperial edict in her hand and said with a wicked smile, "I don't need to lift a finger to kill you. When my strategy drives back the barbarians, my wish will be to kill you. Do you think I need to do it? So, you should think about what you want to eat in your remaining days!"

Wang Hansheng's lips trembled with fear. "You! I'm going to report you to His Majesty! You're utterly lawless!"

Ye Muchen stood up and said, "I advise Minister Wang to shut up immediately. Even I am afraid when my princess goes crazy!"

Wang Hansheng wanted to say something, but Lan Yuan stopped him with her words, "My lord, please don't delay our negotiations. Since Princess Zhan has a good plan, let's go see His Majesty Bei Ye!"

Prince Jin also said, "Yes! It just so happens that Eunuch Fu is still here, let's go see His Majesty together!"

"My strategy is only for the Nanzhao envoy and the three princes; no one else needs to go." After saying this, Jingxue took the imperial edict and walked out with Ye Muchen. Those she mentioned also stood up.

The remaining officials from the six ministries looked at each other, but no one spoke.

After Jingxue and the others left, the Minister of Justice was the first to get up and leave, followed by the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. Finally, only Prime Minister Zou, Hu Yucheng, and Wang Hansheng remained.

Prime Minister Zou's face was extremely grim; he felt a sense of impending doom.

Jingxue and her entourage arrived at the Hall of Diligent Governance. Eunuch Fu went in to report, and they were quickly allowed to enter.

The great wizard first noticed that the maid of the War Queen had an extra small box in her hand.

After exchanging greetings, the Emperor, having heard Eunuch Fu's report, said, "Princess Consort Zhan, now that you have received the imperial decree, please tell me your brilliant plan!"

"Your Majesty, the imperial decree says that if we can defeat the barbarian without firing a single shot, you will grant the advisor's wish. Is that a promise?" Jingxue asked. She couldn't be shy anymore; if she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when the next one would come.

The Emperor glared at Jingxue. "Of course, a ruler's word is law, especially in front of the Nanzhao envoy! Speak up now!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! My wish is that once the plan succeeds and the troops are withdrawn, my parents and younger brother will be released."

"I told you to come up with a plan, not to share your wishes!" The Emperor was furious! That brat!

Jingxue chuckled, "Isn't this just so everyone knows first?"

"Speak quickly! I mean what I say." The emperor was already on the verge of losing his temper.

"Xiaoman! Give me the box," Jingxue instructed.

Jingxue took the box, opened it, and everyone craned their necks to look. Jingxue then began to explain her plan while operating the drone to fly around the hall.

The people in the main hall turned their heads in unison, just like a group of kittens, following the flight path of the drone.

The first to cheer was Prince Jin, whose voice was filled with excitement: "Your Majesty, this is wonderful! If our Northern Night has this drone, what do we have to fear from foreign invasions? Just like Princess Zhan said, we can spread the poison first and then set it on fire. Even if a god came, he would probably have to flee in panic!"

He made everyone in the hall laugh.

General Yihan Aru asked, "Is the War Queen going to give this drone to our Nanzhao Kingdom?"

Jingxue shook her head and said meaningfully, "No need to see me off. I will give this to my uncle. This machine belongs to him alone. If the negotiations are successful, he will help you withdraw your troops on my behalf. We must also be wary of others."

Everyone in the main hall was shrewd; they all understood that Jingxue's "guarding against others" referred to guarding against Nanzhao.

What if Nanzhao uses this tactic against Beiye someday? Human hearts are unpredictable, and the world is ever-changing!

"Who is your maternal uncle?" the Emperor asked.

“My maternal uncle’s younger brother!” Jingxue was packing the drone back into its box when she heard the Emperor’s question and answered casually.

emperor"……"

After Jingxue finished speaking, she wanted to laugh herself, and then added, "Your Majesty, my brother-in-law is named Li Jun, and he is a businessman."

Lan Yuan understood everything Jing Xue said. Princess Zhan had given Li Jun the foundation to establish himself in Nanzhao. With this, who in Nanzhao would dare to underestimate Li Jun? This indirectly helped her as well. Otherwise, Li Jun's identity would inevitably be criticized.

Thinking of this, Lan Yuan stood up and bowed to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, rest assured, since Princess Zhan has offered a feasible plan, our Nanzhao will not do anything ungrateful. Please state your conditions, Your Majesty, and we will certainly agree to anything we can do."

The Emperor said, “Princess of Nanzhao, I know you are eager to return, but I really need you to sign a treaty of no war for 30 years. After that, the two countries will be friendly allies. Once you have withdrawn from the vassal state, our two countries can open border trade markets so that people can buy and sell freely. Are you willing?”

Lan Yuan stood up and replied, "Lan Yuan can make the decision on behalf of her father and agree to the conditions proposed by His Majesty. As for the content of the treaty, His Majesty needs to have someone draft it and sign it as soon as possible, since Nanzhao is still waiting for us to return."

"I understand. Princess Nanzhao, please wait patiently for two more days. We will inform you once the agreement is drafted!" The Emperor felt quite relieved. The border issue had been resolved effortlessly, and they had gained an ally. From now on, he only needed to focus on governing the country.
