The moon was dim and starry, and Ye Ying was dancing.

The night was already deep.

Su Lianqing was dressed in military uniform. She leaned against the pillar of the White Jade Hall with a green grass in her mouth. She glanced at the candlelight window and spat out the green grass leaves in her mouth to the ground.

“Bah! As expected, not a single man is a good thing!”

She was the only one at the entrance of the entire palace, and the rest of the palace guards were sent away by her, the Great General of the Imperial Guards.

“What is this!” The more Su Lianqing thought about it, the angrier she became. She muttered, “I still want to meet my family’s men. It’s been months since I’ve seen them! What a sin! It’s been a cold and quiet night. The Qin Family and the Queen are having a good time inside … but I’m like a turtle slave watching over them outside!”

At this moment, a group of palace guards patrolled here. Su Lianqing waved her hand at them. The soldiers took a detour with great sense. After walking around a corner, these soldiers all came together and whispered to each other. They heard that the Queen invited the marshal from the Tang Dynasty to the harem for a banquet, but they still hadn’t returned. Could it be that she had left him to stay at the palace for the night?

Someone said that this was not strange! The Queen was a young widow with a lonely boudoir. It was inevitable that she would be tempted to see a romantic figure like Young Marshal Qin. Others said that as a Muslim and a king of a country, having an affair with another man before his late husband’s corpse was cold was truly a big taboo!

The group of soldiers were squeezed into a group and were discussing with each other. They saw a group of people rushing over from the entrance of the palace gate and were still making a loud noise. The leader’s body was extremely large. In the night, it looked like Wan Tian had descended from the mortal world, causing the guards guarding the palace gates to be scared to the point of being squeezed into a ball.

“You little monkeys, hand over my Major Marshal!” “If it’s too late, grandpa, I’ll crush your heads and flatten your palaces!” The man roared angrily like a tiger leopard.

Behind him were seven or eight Tang generals dressed in military uniforms, roaring in rage.

The soldiers were frightened by the current situation. The Great Tang’s general was not someone they could afford to offend! Thus, they hurriedly ran back and asked Su Lianqing for help.

Su Lianqing was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent her anger. When she heard that someone was causing trouble at the palace gate, she was instantly enraged. She called a few groups of soldiers and rushed to the palace gate.

When they first arrived at the palace gate, Su Lianqing saw a tall and majestic man who was like an iron tower lifting a Kang Guo palace guard up with his clothes and feet off the ground. He roared like thunder, “Either hand him over or make way! Otherwise, I don’t care if you are my friends from the Great Tang Empire or not. Grandpa is really going to get angry!”

“Hong Tai, stop!” Su Lianqing hurriedly shouted at him and stepped forward to stop him.

“Stinking bitch, you came at the right time!” Yuwen Hongtai saw that it was Su Lianqing, so he threw away the pawn and pulled Su Lianqing to the side. He glared at her and asked angrily, “Where’s my third brother?”

“You idiot, stop messing around. Follow me!” Su Lianqing was anxious. She pulled him to a secluded corner and whispered, “With me here, can Qin Mubai still have any mishaps? You idiot!-He is currently sleeping soundly on Her Majesty’s couch!”

‘”Ah? This!” Yuwen Hongtai’s eyes were stunned, and he immediately burst into laughter, “Hahaha! Our third brother is really capable! He gave the Queen so quickly …”

“Shut up!” Su Lianqing was so anxious that she almost jumped up and covered his mouth. “Can you still talk about such a thing? Tell your dumb brothers to come over and stop making noise!”

“Alright!” Yuwen Hongtai was so happy that he ran to the door and called out to the few people who came with him.

When Su Lianqing saw those people, she immediately curled her lips and said, “Hey, what a big battle! The Eight Military Stages in Guanxi Army are all here! What are you doing here to catch the traitor from your Major Marshal?”

Xiao Xuanwu, Zhu Bancheng, and the others were both embarrassed and amused when they heard this. They hurriedly said, “We are naturally worried that Major Marshal will not return all night. Major Marshal also said that we will mobilize the army tomorrow to head to the Sam River. Now that it is already three shifts away from Major Marshal, how can the three armies not be handsome? That’s why we found the palace.”

“Humph!” Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and said hatefully, “As expected of Wu Meiniang, he lost his soul the moment he saw the Queen.” It had been three hours since he entered the hall, and no one had come out. The two of them have been together for so long. I don’t know what they’ve done. “But I dare say that Qin Mubai will not go to the Sam River with you this time!”

“Really?” Yuwen Hongtai and the others were shocked. “Although Major Marshal is romantic, the overall situation has always been of utmost importance. How could it be that he has missed out on military and national affairs because of his childhood sentiments?”

“In my opinion, how to handle his relationship with the Queen is far more important than personally leading the army to the Sam River.” Su Lianqing said, “Although Kang is a small country, he is the sovereign of the nine families of Zhaowu. He can also be considered the overlord of the border of the Western Regions. If not handled properly, it will cause a lot of trouble. In contrast, the internal troubles of the Western Regions are far greater than the 300,000 Arabs on the west bank of the Sam River.”

“What kind of military and national affairs do you, a woman, know?” Yuwen Hongtai shouted, “You’re not right. I’m going to personally ask Third Brother for an explanation!”

With that, Yuwen Hongtai was about to charge in. Su Lianqing, Xiao Xuanwu, and the others hurriedly stopped him.

“You want to die!”

“If you don’t ask Third Brother, what should we do now?” Yuwen Hongtai was also anxious. “The two hundred thousand troops are waiting for his order. They are leaving at dawn!”

“Don’t make any noise!” Su Lianqing scolded, “We’ll be waiting outside the palace. Perhaps Qin Mubai will wake up later and come out to deal with these matters!”

“Alright! Then let’s stay together outside the hall and guard. No one else is allowed to come near us!” Yuwen Hongtai said, “Let’s wait for Third Brother to get up!”

Su Lianqing chuckled, “This is really funny! The harem of the Kang Kingdom is guarded by the generals of the Great Tang! If this were to spread out, it would truly be laughed out all over the world-the famous Great General of Guanxi Army, Yuwen Hongtai, and the Eighth Military Stage, together, will guard Qin Mubai, the commander in chief of the affair!”

“Stinking bitch, shut up!”

In the bedroom at the side of the palace, Qin Mubai put down a corner of the window and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Look at this … Why did I really agree to Su Lianqing’s words and not hold it back?”

She turned around and looked at the king’s couch shrouded in the dazzling light of the Night Pearl. The Queen of Kang Country was tightly wrapped around her back and shrunk into a ball, her hair loosely spread out.

It was unknown if it was because of pain, or because of shyness or regret, just like a little sparrow that was frightened in a storm, trembling slightly and crying softly.

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but scratch his head.

In his previous life, he had experienced many women. Never before had he felt a little uneasy like today.

“Since she’s already married, why is she still a virgin?” This question kept popping up in Qin Mubai’s mind. In addition, he thought, “So she is not Yao’er, but Yao’er’s twin sister Mingzhu. This is really strange. I have to ask her clearly later. I really have committed a sin this time! She is a good little widow, the Queen of a country, yet I …”

“Cough!”

Thinking of those two words that involved crime, Qin Mubai felt more and more like he was dressed like a beast.

That’s right, this time, he had almost “raped” the Queen of Kang Country!

“What should we do now?” Qin Mubai stood by the window and was stunned for a while.

After a long time, Mingzhu, who had her back to Qin Mubai, turned around and Qin Mubai hurriedly came forward.

Mingzhu turned to look at him, her eyes filled with bitterness and tears.

“Sorry, I…”

“Don’t tell me!” Mingzhu hurriedly pulled the blanket over and covered her head.

Qin Mubai was momentarily at a loss. He could only sit gently on the bed and lean his head against the back of the bed with both hands. He didn’t have the nerve to get into the quilt again.

After a long time, the bright pearl wrapped in the quilt stretched out a clean foot to the outside of the quilt and lightly touched Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai hurriedly woke up and looked sideways at her.

The two of them didn’t know what to say and were silent in embarrassment.

Looking at the face of the divine demon, Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said seriously, “Marry me!”

Mingzhu suddenly retracted into the quilt, turned around, and held her back to Qin Mubai again without saying a word.

Qin Mubai scratched her head again and played the rogue to the end. She lay on the bed and reached out to hug her.

This time, Mingzhu did not dodge. She only shrank her body nervously.

“Pearl …”

“Speak!”

“Marry me!”

“No!”

…

“Is it impossible, or is it unwilling?” Qin Mubai relaxed her tone as if she was teasing him.

“Not only that, but I’m also unwilling!” Mingzhu turned around, her eyes facing her lips and teeth.

Qin Mubai kissed her. Mingzhu closed her eyes and clenched her teeth tightly.

At this moment, Qin Mubai felt a little relieved. At least he was certain that Mingzhu did not hate him. Although she had tried her best to resist before, it was not the resistance of disgust and hatred, but the struggle of a reserved or contradictory heart.

Qin Mubai thought that as the widow and current queen of the Kang Kingdom, as well as the restraints of Islam, she should behave like this. However, if a woman really resisted, she would never act like this. At least for now, she should be cursing and fighting wildly.

In other words, in her heart, she was definitely willing to commit herself … That would be much easier!

“Why?” Qin Mubai asked softly.

‘”Because I am a Muslim, I am the wife of the king of Kang, the king of a kingdom. If I marry you, I will make the people of Kang laugh and hate, and will receive the harshest punishment from Allah!” Mingzhu avoided Qin Mubai’s gaze and whispered, “Also … I don’t want to be a substitute for anyone, even if that person is my own sister!”

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned. He knew that the last reason was the clearest in her heart.

The punishment of Allah, the widow, and the king were all floating clouds in the face of absolute power. At this moment, the entire Kang Kingdom was trembling with fear at the feet of the Great Tang. If the Queen of Kang Country could marry the ruler of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, it would be a great thing for Kang Country.

Perhaps it was precisely because of such political considerations that Mingzhu brought Qin Mubai to the harem to accompany her personally, and then threw herself into her embrace.

Although Qin Mubai was confused for a moment, he was not confused. He had considered all these things. From the standpoint of the country and politics, it wasn’t a big deal for him to put the Queen of Kang to sleep now. Perhaps, the Queen and the officials and citizens of Kang Country would be happy and relieved.

But from the standpoint of a man and a woman … Qin Mubai knew that Yao’er might be a knot in their hearts that they would never be able to untie.

Qin Mubai sighed softly, loosened his embrace and stood up. Shearing his hands behind his back, he walked to the window and remained silent.

Mingzhu immediately felt boundless loss and heartache, and silently shed tears.

“That’s right, he treats me like a demon. He doesn’t like me” Mingzhu closed her eyes, allowing her tears to gently fall. “For the sake of the Kingdom of Kang, I am willing to give everything I have, and even betray my chastity and receive Allah’s punishment. Wu Meiniang once told me that Yao’er has the most special and irreplaceable position in his heart. If I am willing, I can use the simplest and most effective method to save the entire country from the poison of war, and enjoy the blessings of the Great Tang and continue the country. The people of Kang Country elected me Queen. I have this responsibility, and I have indeed done so. But … but … ”

“Pearl” At this moment, Qin Mubai spoke.

“Tell me …”

“I know this is unfair to you, but I can promise that from now on, I will love you with all my heart.” Qin Mubai turned around and said seriously, “I admit that I treat you as a demon and can’t restrain myself for a moment. But that won’t be a reason for me to shirk my responsibility. I know what you’re thinking right now. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you won’t be harmed in any way. I won’t harm your country or your people.”

Mingzhu immediately burst into tears, covered her head with the quilt and cried.

Qin Mubai stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently. “Trust me. This is my promise. Time will prove it. Rest well first. I have to go out and send those stupid guards out of the hall now.”

Mingzhu did not say anything. Qin Mubai stood up gently and walked out of the door.

“Hurry up and come back!” Mingzhu shouted from under the quilt in a blurry voice.

Qin Mubai felt much more relaxed. “Alright, I’ll be right back.”

Closing the door to the bedroom, he heaved a heartfelt sigh of relief and shook his head. He didn’t believe that he had actually done such a thing this night.

When they opened the door and walked out, Su Lianqing, Yuwen Hongtai, and the others stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes.

“What are you looking at? Don’t you recognize me?” Qin Mubai pretended to walk forward calmly and said with a dignified expression, “Why did you barge into the palace in the middle of the night?”

Yuwen Hongtai and the others hurriedly took a step back and cupped their fists, saying, “General Mo and the others came to ask Major Marshal if he will act according to the previous order tomorrow.”

Qin Mubai nodded his head and said, “Hong Tai, I order you to lead 100,000 cavalry to the Sam River to assist and obey Su Dingfang’s orders. Remember, when you get there, you must respect Su Dingfang as the commander and Wu Meiniang, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Kang, as the leader. Do not act rashly. If I find out, I will definitely not forgive you!”

“Order!” Yuwen Hongtai accepted the order and smiled foolishly at Qin Mubai. His expression was wretched enough, as if he was asking, “How does the Queen taste?”

Su Lianqing was not annoyed when she saw this. She secretly pinched Yuwen Hongtai’s butt twice. The pain was so great that the man gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to explode.

“The remaining half of the army will be led by Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng. They will still be guarding the camp outside the city and listen to my orders.” Qin Mubai said, “The six of you, follow Yuwen Hongtai and lead the army to the Sam River. Also, send me a message to Su Dingfang, saying that if the Arabs take the initiative to advance, they will counterattack forcefully. With the support of the Divine Martial Cannon, they can take advantage of the half-crossing to win a great victory. If the Arabs do not take the initiative to attack, then I will defend. If it retreats, it cannot be pursued. “If there is a battle ahead, report it to me at any time.”

“Order!” The generals all received the order.

Su Lianqing curled her lips from the side and thought to herself, “Sure enough, I’m intoxicated with Gentle Village. I won’t go to the Sam River myself!” Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang, you are simply as expected. You know Qin Mubai too well!

“Alright, disperse. Don’t make any noise here!” Qin Mubai shouted and Yuwen Hongtai and the others hurriedly retreated.

Su Lianqing was left standing there alone, glancing at Qin Mubai with a contemptuous look in her eyes.

Qin Mubai took a few steps forward and whispered to Su Lianqing, “Su Lianqing, don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done!”

“I, what did I do?” Su Lianqing felt guilty for a moment, but her mouth actually started to stutter. She secretly cursed in her heart, “I’ve been wandering around in Jianghu for so many years, but I feel guilty when facing this brat. I’ve really seen a ghost!”

“If you hadn’t drugged me in the wine and vegetables, would I have done such a thing?” Qin Mubai snorted and narrowed her eyes.

Su Lianqing immediately took two steps back, her panicked face turning a little pale.

“Humph!” Qin Mubai glared at her angrily and sighed, “Since this has already happened, I don’t want to pursue it further. I don’t care if it was you who made the decision or someone else who asked you to do it. In short … no one else is allowed to know about this matter from now on!”

“I understand” Su Lianqing nodded honestly.

Qin Mubai looked up at the bright white moon above his head and sighed softly. “At this moment, I really don’t know if I should kill you or thank you. Yao’er … Yao’er! Are your spirits in heaven like me?” He said.
