Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Emperor Zhengde's eyes turned red and he was speechless.

After being separated for many years, life and death were unknown, and now we are together, but we cannot stay together.

What could be sadder than this?
……

A few days later, Emperor Zhengde took Qin Liu to a temple in the west of Beijing.There is a spiritual tablet enshrined in the towering pagoda: Liu Dong's spiritual tablet.

Qin Liu felt pain in his heart and knelt down to worship.

Liu Xuejiang's father died in mysterious circumstances, but she was not strong enough to avenge him.

Would she kneel down and beg the young emperor next to her to avenge her father?

Emperor Zhengde looked at the tomb and said calmly: "It was Mr. Liu who blocked the poisonous arrow for me near the thatched house on the outskirts of Beijing and saved my life."

Qin Liu suddenly turned his head to look at Emperor Zhengde in shock.

The young emperor's expression was solemn and low: "Since the death of my father, I have felt the care of my elders again. Ah Jiang, Mr. Liu's last request in life is for me to treat you well..."

Emperor Zhengde let out a long breath: "You go! Live your life well. I will re-send Zhu Yue to the Xuan Mansion and order him to form a private army to protect your safety. Master Liu's hatred, you suffered back then I will seek justice for your suffering and Erlang’s death!”

Qin Liu was slightly startled.After standing up, she listened to what was going on around her. After confirming that no one was around, she said in a barely audible voice: "Mr. Baoguo has a new grandson, whose nickname is Erlang. I hope the emperor will take care of you." .”

This time it was Emperor Zhengde's turn to be shocked.He stared at Qin Liu in disbelief.

Qin Liu looked back at him calmly: "The beloved son of his parents must have far-reaching plans. I think the same goes for the emperor."

……

Qin Liu quietly left the capital in a carriage that day and headed north out of Juyong Pass.

She lifted the carriage curtain and looked towards the capital for a long time.

Does her sensible and obedient Erlang still remember her mother?
Can he adapt to the life of Duke Baoguo?
If the emperor knows his identity, will it bring disaster to him?
Qin Liu stayed in Shabaozi Town for a while and then went to the grassland.

Old Man Li and Li Dalang are safe and sound, and the Ma Ang family next door have moved to the Xuan Mansion because Ma Ang was promoted and transferred to the Xuan Mansion.

Fortunately, the new Qianhu in Shabaozi Town was familiar with Ma Ang, and he took good care of Old Man Li and Jiang Xuezhai Inn, so he didn't feel sorry for him.

After leaving Dushikou, we walked northeast for a day or two and arrived at Duolun.

The houses in Dolan are still intact, but the men are not at home.

The herdsmen were very excited and enthusiastic when they saw Qin Liu's safe return, and brought goat's milk, fried fruits, beef and mutton, etc. one after another.

Qin Liu looked at the houses that belonged to him and Baers, empty and covered with dust, and felt sad in his heart.

The warm room that once had a glowing fire and steaming water is now empty and desolate.

The herdsmen brought news about Bals: "The prince took the men to fight with the right wing, and the Han people you arranged to come over, Hadun, were also taken away by the prince. You have to go to the Khan's court to know the specific progress of the war." "

Qin Liu stayed in Duolun for a day and then left for the Khan Court.

Last time there was no fighting on the right wing, she almost died when she went there. Now she didn't dare to go west foolishly.

Fortunately, there were not many Mongolian cavalry along the way. After some communication, it was easy to reach the location of the royal court.

Queen Manduhai personally received Qin Liu.

She has very complicated feelings about this Han Chinese future daughter-in-law.This woman indeed brought peace to Mingting and the grassland, as well as a large number of important supplies.This is also the fundamental reason why Dayan Khan has the confidence to start a war with the right wing.

However, as the existing eldest son, Bals would definitely be criticized by the tribal leaders if he wanted to marry a Han woman as Hadun.

This time against the right wing, Bales fully demonstrated his outstanding talents.

It was his skillful planning that allowed the rusty and damaged red cannon to be resurrected and give the right wing lords a head-on blow.

After this battle, Balth's reputation and popularity will reach a peak and he will become the unquestionable heir to the Khan throne.

Then, the key position of Hadun will inevitably become the target of competition among the tribes.

A Han woman has no advantage in such a situation.

Even if she and Baers fall in love again, even if she is Tengger's messenger, she must give way to the daughters of the chiefs of the big tribes.

Returning to the Khan Court, Qin Liu also felt uneasy.

She felt as if the future was not reliable, and something seemed to be breaking away from her hands and leaving her.

This intuition soon came true.

On the second day after Qin Liu arrived at the royal court, Master Yisima launched a coup and bloodbathed the royal court. Queen Manduhai was seriously injured.

If Unebolot, the lord of the Horqin tribe, hadn't arrived in time and killed Taishi Yisimain's men by surprise, the royal court would have been destroyed overnight.

Because Qin Liu was a Han nationality, the guard captain who escorted her did not conceal his identity as a Ming army soldier, and Qin Liu was lucky enough to be safe.

During the internecine fighting in the grassland, it was obviously not a rational choice to offend the Ming Dynasty officials. Both Yismain and Unebolot were able to figure this out.

Queen Manduhai summoned Qin Liu to the hospital bed.

To Qin Liu's surprise, Unebolot, a lord of the Horqin tribe who was over sixty years old and had gray hair, was tenderly reading a love letter to propose marriage in front of Queen Manduhai's bed.

Queen Manduhai's weak and pale face showed tenderness, and she looked at Unebolot with a smile and affection.

She ignored Qin Liu who was standing aside, but asked Unebolot gently: "Back then, I rejected your proposal and resolutely married a six-year-old child. Don't you hate me?"

Unebolot's eyes were wet and he choked up: "How could I hate you? I admired you when we were children. But when you became a widow, I had the opportunity to propose to you. For the sake of Mongolia Great cause, for the sake of the peace of the grassland, you gave up the personal relationship between men and women and dedicated your life. Such a great woman is the love of my life."

Queen Manduhai smiled brightly, as if she had turned into a carefree little girl again, nervously waiting for her lover to come over for a tryst next to the car.She raised her arms with all her strength and gently touched Uneborot's old face.

"In the next life, Unebolot, I will marry you in the next life, and it will be me who will protect you in the next life."

Qin Liu also burst into tears at the side.

Queen Manduhai used her legendary life to compose a great hymn to women.She gave up the love of her childhood sweetheart just for the great cause in her heart.

Queen Manduhai finally looked at Qin Liu, showing a kind look for the first time.

"Good boy, love is not everything in life. There are many things that are more important than love. Do you understand?"

Qin Liu couldn't help but stepped forward and held Queen Manduhai's hand: "Life is precious, and love is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. Dear Hadun, I understand what you mean."

Manduhai patted Qin Liu's hand gently, and finally uttered an ambiguous sentence: "Don't blame Bals." (End of this chapter)
