A straight man transmigrates into an ABO world and upgrades his beauty by pretending to be an Alpha.

"How are you feeling? Are there any other injuries?"

Yu Wenwan held a handkerchief in her hand and applied it to Qin Zijian's face, asking softly.

The chill emanating from the handkerchief wrapped in ice made her fingertips turn slightly red.

Qin Zijian took the handkerchief from her hand, pressed it to his swollen cheek, and shook his head at her.

With a hint of heartache, Yu Wenwan turned and beckoned to the maid beside her.

The maid immediately stepped forward and presented the ointment in her hand to Yu Wenwan.

The plaster was opened, releasing a faint medicinal fragrance, and I prepared to apply the medicine to Qin Zijian.

"I can do it myself." Qin Zijian took the medicine from her hand and began to apply it to himself, still extremely perfunctory.

Yu Wenwan watched his actions, sighed slightly, and looked helpless.

Then, he turned to the row of palace servants standing to the side and gave them instructions.

"You guys should step back first."

Upon hearing Yu Wenwan's words, the palace servants looked up and exchanged glances several times before turning to look at Qin Zijian.

Qin Zijian didn't stop what he was doing, and looked up at those people expressionlessly.

With just one glance, everyone understood his intention and immediately turned and left one after another.

After everyone left, only Qin Zijian and Yu Wenwan remained in the room.

Incense burns in the snow, carrying wisps of smoke, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms fills the air.

“Zijian, the Crown Prince has already captured Yancheng, but taking the capital will not be an easy task.”

Qin Zijian gripped the blue porcelain bottle tightly in his hand, his eyes lowered and he remained silent.

The room was completely silent, as if one could hear the wind blowing from the courtyard.

After a long while, Qin Zijian finally asked, "What do you want from me?"

Yu Wenwan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Although the Crown Prince has a legitimate reason for his actions, he was deposed by the late emperor, and other forces have no intention of forming an alliance with him."

If Gao Hao were to send troops to suppress them, they would likely face great difficulties and have little chance of success.

Qin Zijian pursed his lips, listening to Yu Wenwan's words, and placed the porcelain bottle in his hand on the sandalwood table.

He turned his head slightly, looking at Yu Wenwan with an ambiguous gaze.

When Yu Wenwan met Qin Zijian's gaze, she did not look away; instead, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Now beset by internal and external troubles, Gao Hao has lost the hearts of the people, and it is the perfect time for him to rise to power."

The Crown Prince made contact with Helouqian, the Khan of the Geyi tribe, a few days ago. I wonder if Zijian knows this man?

Upon hearing He Louqian's name, Qin Zijian paused slightly.

That was her husband's younger brother. It turned out that after her husband died, he was the one who guarded the Geyi tribe.

Suddenly recalling that shy young man, whose appearance bore a slight resemblance to her husband, Qin Zijian's lips curled into a slight smile.

Have you seen him? Are they all well?

Yu Wenwan moved to his side, slowly sat down, and had a smile in her eyes.

"Zijian, there's no need to worry. They are all well. They just asked the Crown Prince if you could be brought back."

Upon hearing Yu Wenwan's words, Qin Zijian's smile vanished instantly.

As if he had thought of something terrible, his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"I can't go back; if I go back, I'll only kill them."

Yu Wenwan patted his back reassuringly and poured him a cup of hot tea.

“Gao Hao drove them to the Qian River. Zijian should know that it is not a good place.”

She spoke slowly and deliberately, as if she were trying to drag Qin Zijian into an abyss.

“I have heard that your Geyi tribe has lived near the Tasang River for generations.”

Now that they've been driven away without cause, they must be feeling quite resentful.

At this point, he suddenly bent down and slowly approached Qin Zijian.

"Why not form an alliance with the Crown Prince and take the capital in one fell swoop?"

When the Crown Prince comes to power, he will surely return the territory that belongs to you.

Qin Zijian gripped his teacup, his thoughts drifting.

He knew this was an opportunity to change the fate of the Geyi tribe, but if they failed, their situation would only become more difficult.

Seeing that Qin Zijian was still hesitating, Yu Wenwan continued speaking in a calm and composed tone.

"I heard that a significant conflict occurred between the Geyi tribe and the border army some time ago."

Although Gao Hao is now besieged on all sides, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

"If we wait until he recovers, do you think he'll let them go?"

Qin Zijian's gaze was deep and unfathomable, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

He knew that everything Yu Wenwan said was true.

The Geyi tribe is now in a desperate situation.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, instead of hiding, it's better to fight your way out.

After a long silence, Qin Zijian finally spoke slowly: "I agree, but I have one condition."

Yu Wenwan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "As long as it's within our power, we will definitely not refuse."

"I want you to do your best to ensure the safety of the Geyi tribe. If the situation changes, their evacuation must be given priority."

Qin Zijian looked at Yu Wenwan with a determined gaze.

Yu Wenwan thought about it for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Once everything is arranged on my end, you can meet with the people of the Geyi tribe."

Qin Zijian was about to say something more.

Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps approached from afar.

The two exchanged a quick glance and immediately fell silent.

"What are you all standing there for? Where is your master? Don't you all want your heads anymore?!"

The palace maids, upon hearing Gao Hao's reprimand, turned as pale as paper.

Their legs buckled, and they all knelt down, shouting in unison.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!!!"

Her head hung low, not daring to raise it even slightly.

Upon hearing the commotion, Qin Zijian immediately stepped out the door.

Upon seeing Gao Hao, he lowered his eyes to look at the palace servants on the ground and asked indifferently.

"Why are you angry again?"

Gao Hao stepped forward, his face showing a hint of caution.

"Zijian, I... I heard you came here and was a little worried, so I came to check on you."

"Let's go back first." After saying that, she turned around and walked away without waiting for Gao Hao's reply.

Upon seeing this, Gao Hao paused for a moment, then quickly followed Qin Zijian and left together.

Yu Wenwan watched quietly as the two walked further and further away until their figures disappeared from sight.

She sighed softly, raised her right hand slightly, and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve.

Fingertips gently caressed the delicate, smooth texture of the jade pendant's surface.

A gust of wind blew by, brushing the treetops and swirling up a carpet of fallen leaves.

"Click... Great, pack up the props, let's call it a day."

As soon as the director finished speaking, Shen Ruoyun immediately hopped over to the edge of the open space.

I remembered seeing a barbecue stall outside last time.

He decided to spend a fortune on a late-night snack later.

What are you doing~ Hmm~ Singing~ What time~ Year after year show~ TG-four!

One, two, three, go!

Your childhood and mine seem to be the same: tiny cream puffs, big watermelons, savoring them bite by bite!

Shen Ruoyun hummed a song and skipped over to the director.

"My family has been nobles for generations, how could I possibly know a mere country bumpkin? I am Ma Chao of Xiliang! Take this spear!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Ruoyun grabbed a tree branch and poked it against the director's beer belly.

director:"!!!"

Looking down, he saw the branch poking into his stomach.

With a wave of his hand, he offered Shen Ruoyun some roasted chestnuts.

Shen Ruoyun did a 360-degree turn, bent down, and quickly grabbed a handful of cherries from the basket before disappearing.
