After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Now that the Turks have found out, she has only one thought: can she kill the Turks?

Those Turks just happened to be there for a marriage alliance... and they were even more likely to have come into contact with the emperor.

If the Emperor finds out that she secretly went to see Xie Shuheng, Gu Wanqing will surely suffer a fate worse than death.

She knew better than anyone what kind of person the Emperor was. Even if she didn't die, even if nothing happened to her, she would be tortured by him to the point of wishing she were dead...

Thinking about these things, Gu Wanqing shuddered.

"Let's go find the Emperor."

She had to find the emperor and tell him not to form a marriage alliance with the Turks.

Gu Wanqing rushed over in a hurry. Emperor Xie Lin was receiving Xie Shuheng and Shen Huichuan and their entourage.

Seeing that Gu Wanqing wasn't wearing shoes, the Emperor quickly ran over, grabbed her small feet, and picked her up, saying, "My beloved concubine, how could you be so reckless?"

"Even if you're in a hurry to see me, you should at least wear proper shoes. If you get cold feet like this, what will you do if you get sick? Then I won't let any of the people around you get away with it."

After saying this, Gu Wanqing trembled slightly, looking at the Emperor with trembling lips: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I just miss you."

She looked at these people and asked, "Are all of them Turks?"

They pretended to be clueless and ignorant, looking at them as if they were all very naive.

The Emperor nodded: "Yes, this is the Turkic envoy. We will marry our Princess Jinxiu to him."

Xie Lin said to Xie Shuheng, who was disguised, "This is my Imperial Concubine. She will help with the arrangements for the banquet tonight. Princess Jinxiu and she have a good relationship, so my beloved concubine will definitely help with the arrangements."

After saying this, Gu Wanqing was also very clever; there was no room for maneuver now.

The emperor would never agree to it, and luckily she didn't reveal such a foolish thing.

Otherwise, the Emperor might really decide to punish her; Xie Lin is now placing almost all his hopes on the Turks.

The imperial court is completely finished, so no matter who Gu Wanqing is, she cannot ruin this marriage alliance. She herself knows this.

She nodded self-deprecatingly and said gently to the Emperor, "Since Your Majesty has important matters to attend to, then I will not disturb you any longer. I will go and prepare some mung bean sweet soup for you; it's delicious."

After saying this, Gu Wanqing wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Turkic prince, who was actually Xie Shuheng in disguise: "This Imperial Concubine and the Emperor are deeply in love. We came here with the intention of forming a marriage alliance, hoping to marry Princess Jinxiu and spend our lives together. Why don't you, Imperial Concubine, speak to us from a woman's perspective and tell us what we should do?"

Xie Shuheng spoke in a very organized manner, and even made Gu Wanqing feel that he was familiar with her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why, and she probably had never seen him before.

She nodded: "Yes, that's fine."

"Since it's about feelings, then it's good that I'm here. My relationship with the Emperor can perhaps serve as a reference."

Speaking of this, it has always been Xie Lin's proudest achievement.

"The person I am most grateful for in my life is my beloved concubine."

Speaking of which, Xie Shuheng said, "I've known for a long time that the Emperor favors the Consort, but I thought it was just a rumor. It seems that the Emperor is indeed under a lot of pressure. Why don't you tell us about it?"

"We also want to know how such a great love story began."

"Back then, I was raised outside the village, adopted by some farmers. At that time, Wanqing was a true heiress who had been separated from her family. It was she who took care of me, which is why I had this opportunity and was able to survive."

"This is the road I came from!"

"We all came from the very bottom, just like you Turks, and we all relied almost entirely on our own efforts. Now, let's be clear with the prince. Take Xie Shuheng, who attacked and invaded, for example. He's a typical example of someone who lives a life of luxury and is just lucky. People like him don't understand the common people or the court at all; all he knows is how to target me. He's just jealous of my hard work!"

"Back then, Xie Shuheng's father was good to me and thought of taking care of me. You have no idea how jealous Xie Shuheng was of me. He always had a cold face. He even casually took the imperial examination, and who knows, he might have cheated, but he still got the top score. After that, he didn't care about it. Don't you think that was just a show, trying to put on a show for me?"

"This is the most hypocritical person I have ever met in my life. So I don't want to talk to such a person at all."

Xie Shuheng listened with a straight face: "So, that Xie Shuheng really isn't a good person."

Shen Huichuan had been holding back his laughter for a long time, pretending to cough while covering his mouth, but in reality, he had been suppressing his laughter where no one could see.

No... This emperor is so naive, how could he possibly become the emperor who brings about the downfall of his country?

But those were just excuses he made up.

When he said this, Shen Huichuan didn't hold back. He and Xie Shuheng had agreed that he would take the route of being sarcastic and questioning.

He and Xie Shuheng can just sing in harmony.

Therefore, Shen Huichuan said, "The information we received from the Turks says that Your Majesty is cowardly and only wants to hide. Moreover, General Xie Shuheng is very powerful and brave in battle. He has captured all the generals from other places, leaving only our Turks behind. Does Your Majesty still want to say that it's because you didn't want to?"

Xie Lin stood up and pointed at him, saying, "What do you mean!"

"Since it's a marriage alliance, you need to understand its pros and cons, and the benefits involved. What can we offer you? After the alliance, we'll naturally get along very well. The Turks will also be able to send troops to assist you."

"But the premise is honesty."

"Is it because the Emperor has been arrogant his whole life that he can't admit his incompetence?"

Xie Lin sneered, saying, "Naturally, it's because I couldn't resist that I made an exchange with you. Otherwise, why would I be willing to give you my precious Princess Jinxiu?"

"But we've never heard of this Princess Jinxiu before. You said she was raised in the deep palace, and we've heard that along the way that General Xie Shuheng's wife has gone missing. Or was she taken hostage by the Emperor?"

"In that case, we need to know whether this is General Xie Shuheng's wife," Shen Huichuan said.

Xie Lin asked curiously, "So, do you want it or not?"

Xie Shuheng said, "That depends on the Emperor's sincerity. We've said that sincerity comes first, and everything else is secondary."

Xie Lin was a little unsure, remembering that this crown prince had a penchant for sleeping with other men's wives.

The question being asked now is likely to confirm whether Jiang Zhiyun is Xie Shuheng's wife.

"Yes, she is my wife, but she is also very beautiful. There is no one as beautiful as her in Bianjing. I wonder if she would suit the taste of the Turkic Crown Prince?"
