Thanks to the commotion caused by A Nari, Qin Yining finally had a day of peace. Perhaps Si Qin was being watched so tightly that he didn't have a chance to get close to her. This allowed her to relax her tense nerves.
The next morning, before the sun had even risen and Qin Yining had yet to get up, the tent's curtains were lifted. The autumn wind in the wee hours mercilessly entered the tent. Qin Yining quivered and opened her eyes. She sat up and looked at the door cautiously.
It was a middle-aged woman with a stocky figure. She wore an indigo robe with narrow sleeves and a black waistcoat. Her hair was neatly tied up behind her head.
When she saw Qin Yining, her face was filled with obvious disdain. She mocked her in Da Zhou's dialect, "It seems like you're sleeping well? The Khan ordered me to watch over you from today onwards. The Khan and the Prince Consort have already gotten up and are preparing to depart. You're a prisoner, yet you're still sleeping. Get up and work! "
Qin Yining immediately understood. It must be that A Nari couldn't bear to see her living so comfortably and had arranged for an old mama to torture her. As for the maidservants who used to carefully serve her with sparkling eyes, she probably wouldn't have them anymore.
Qin Yining didn't say anything. She got up and tidied herself up. She washed her face with cold water and casually wiped her hair. She combed her hair into a simple bun and put on the red agate hat.
She was all alone and didn't have any luggage. She only had some medicine that she needed to take. She organized it into a small bundle.
"Let's go." Qin Yining finished her preparations. She turned around and stepped on the old mama's foot and left.
The old mama didn't expect Qin Yining to be so skilled in taking care of her. She didn't haggle or drag her feet. She was completely different from the foxy woman who dared to seduce the Prince Consort in order to live a good life.
She couldn't keep up with her train of thought, but she still remembered the Khan's orders. She strode forward and pushed Qin Yining from behind.
"Hurry up and go. Don't dawdle. Who do you think you are? You're just a captive, how dare you be so arrogant in front of the Khan! "
Qin Yining staggered and almost fell to the ground.
After she steadied herself, she turned around angrily and raised her hand to slap the nanny.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you behave atrociously in front of This King's Consort!"
The old mammy spun in a circle and fell to the ground dizzily. She covered her face in disbelief and looked up at her. "You, you dare to hit me!"
"You're the slave, and I'm the master. You offended me, so why can't I beat you? I am a guest invited by your Prince Consort. You, a servant, dare to be so impudent. Could it be that there is no need to discuss the matter between your Tatan and Da Zhou? "
Qin Yining's voice was not loud or fast, but it was very intimidating.
Everyone outside the tent, who was busy preparing for the journey, looked over. When they saw that the nanny had tried to teach Qin Yining a lesson but was instead taught a lesson by Qin Yining, they all whispered and pointed at each other.
Qin Yining reprimanded, "Either you stay and serve me well, or you scram back and get someone who understands the rules! I heard that the Tatan are the most hospitable and reasonable people. Such a good people is completely dragged down by someone like you who doesn't know the rules and uses your power to bully others! "
Some of the people at the side who understood Da Zhou's language felt that Qin Yining was too domineering, while others felt that the old mammy was too domineering and angered the guest.
Everyone's discussion became even louder.
At this time, A Nari, who was wearing a red cloak, quickly walked over with a horsewhip in her hand. When she saw that the person she had arranged was sitting on the ground with a swollen face, she was immediately furious.
"You've got guts! How dare you be so impudent in Ben Khan's territory! "
"Khan," Qin Yining said politely, "this concubine is a woman and doesn't know much. But even so, this concubine knows how to treat a guest.
"Khan is a woman who is knowledgeable, reasonable, and broad-minded. If you ask people of this level to come out and do things for you, they will not only be insensible but also tarnish Khan's reputation. Wouldn't that be wronging Khan? If you know, it's the actions of your evil servants. If you don't know, you will think that Khan specially ordered them to abuse a weak guest! "
Looking at the increasingly swollen handprint on the mammy's face, A Nari was so angry that her face turned pale. "You are so thick-skinned. You hit her face like this and you still have the nerve to say that you are weak!"
Qin Yining looked at the whip in A Nari's hand and smiled. "Khan, I respect you as a heroine. Although I was forcefully invited by your country's son-in-law to be a guest, I am still Da Zhou's Prince Zhongshun's wife and the daughter of the Minister of Rites. You can kill me, but you can't humiliate me!
"I am a person with no patience and a bad temper. And the most important thing is that I am easily impulsive. If your people try to be disrespectful to me again, then I will end all troubles and won't have to endure your vexation anymore. When the time comes, I can't guarantee whether or not you will be able to negotiate. “
"You actually dare to threaten Ben Khan! Let me tell you, my Tatan army has many generals and soldiers, as well as sufficient provisions. If we want to flatten Da Zhou, where the entire country is filled with cowards, it will be as easy as blowing off dust! You can die, but we won't talk about conditions. This Khan will directly lead the warriors to kill you, and not leave a single armor behind! "
A Nari raised her arms as she spoke.
The attendants on the side also shouted in agreement.
Qin Yining heard this and felt a wave of worry in her heart.
She was now certain that there was something wrong between Si Qin and A Nari. A Nari's fearless appearance showed that she really didn't care about fighting a war. In fact, she seemed to want to fight a war.
As for Da Zhou, Pang Xiao's situation was already very awkward. If anything happened to her, with Pang Xiao's personality, she would definitely lead the army to avenge her. At that time, not to mention whether Your Majesty would be willing to relinquish military power, even the war itself would cause great suffering and suffering to the people.
Qin Yining's mind was racing, but she didn't back down at all: "The Khan has many people and a loud voice. I won't compete with you on this. Didn't you say that you wanted to return to the capital? Then I'll go to the carriage first. "
Qin Yining nodded and walked straight to a handcart.
Lu Heng had already been placed in the carriage. When he saw Qin Yining approaching, he smiled and moved inwards to make room for her.
Lu Heng whispered: "Don't provoke them, lest they suffer physical pain. I think they kidnapped the two of us for more than just ransom."
"You can tell too?" Qin Yining also whispered.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. It seemed that with Lu Heng's intelligence, he had already grasped some of the situation.
A Nari saw that Qin Yining had hooked up with Lu Heng as soon as she got on the carriage, and she was even more suspicious of her character. With a sullen face, she ordered them to set off. They weren't allowed to rest along the way. After spending an entire day, they finally entered the gates of the Tatan capital, Dadu, after dark.
