Then, Qin Xiaoyao raised her hand and pushed away the Liao-style saber in the hands of the Seventh Prince of the Liao State.
Following that, she quickly attacked again. With a flick of the tri-dagger in her hand, she easily sent the Liao-style saber in the other party’s hand flying.
The Liao-style saber flew out and stabbed into a crack in the ground not far away.
Clang! A crisp sound was heard.
At the same time, Qin Xiaoyao’s tri-dagger was already pressed against the neck of the Seventh Prince of the Liao State.
The turnaround came too quickly. Whether it was the envoys of the Liao State or the officials of the Jin State, they were all shocked.
It was Prince Huaiyin who broke the silence by clapping his hands.
Immediately after this, the officials of the Jin State spoke up one after another, praising Qin Xiaoyao for her unparalleled bravery.
The envoys of the Liao State lowered their heads or looked away. They couldn’t bear to look at the Seventh Prince.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince of the Liao State had also turned from a proud rooster to a cowering quail. His dejected expression was filled with disbelief.
He knew that Qin Xiaoyao was very strong, but he did not expect her to be this strong.
She was simply… not a human!
That slash of his had at least 500 pounds of force, yet she was able to withstand such a heavy blow so easily.
Moreover, she even counterattacked him afterward.
He, the newly promoted number one warrior of the Liao State, only managed to last two moves against her.
It was simply… a great humiliation!
“Just kill me!” The Seventh Prince of the Liao State roared angrily.
To him, such a great humiliation was harder to accept than death.
Qin Xiaoyao moved the tri-dagger away.
Then, she swiftly inserted the tri-dagger back into her boots.
“The Great Jin and the Great Liao States have already reached a peace
agreement. What’s the point of killing you? I have no intention of starting a war between our two states.”
When they heard this, the envoys of the Liao State heaved a sigh of relief.
The Seventh Prince lowered his head and did not dare to meet Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t look at him anymore.
She turned around to look in Song Que’s direction, and their eyes met.
Song Que’s eyes flickered, but he immediately lowered his head.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s face.
She then looked at Prince Huaiyin, indicating that she would hand over the matters hereafter to him.
Prince Huaiyin smiled and went forward to negotiate with the Seventh Prince and the envoys of the Liao State.
Very soon, both sides set the final conditions for the peace deal.
At this point, the battle between the Jin and Liao States officially ended.
After the two sides signed the peace treaty, the representatives of the Liao
State left first.
Following that, the officials from the Ministry of Rites held a simple meeting before dispersing.
Song Que was about to leave with the officials, but he was stopped by Prince Huaiyin.
No doubt Prince Huaiyin held him back for Qin Xiaoyao’s sake.
After asking Song Que to stay behind, he left the chamber to the two of them. Qin Xiaoyao was grateful.
After Prince Huaiyin left and closed the door behind him, she rushed toward
Song Que immediately. She hugged him tightly from behind.
When she smelled the familiar scent on Song Que’s body, Qin Xiaoyao instantly felt her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, settle down.
“Hubby…” Qin Xiaoyao only called out after hugging him for a long time.
Song Que’s heart skipped a beat.
He felt his cold, hardened heart instantly disintegrate.
In the end, he suppressed his turbulent emotions and replied, “Mmm.”
“Hubby, where did you go after leaving Mountain Spring Town?
“How did you come to the capital?
“How did you enter the Ministry of Rites?” Qin Xiaoyao asked rapidly. There was an aggrieved note in her tone.
Song Que’s heart ached.
“I…” He wanted to say something to comfort Qin Xiaoyao, but in the end, he only uttered one word.
Soon, Qin Xiaoyao tightened her grip on Song Que’s waist.
It was as if she was afraid that she would be abandoned if she let go.
As he lowered his head to look at the arms that were wrapped tightly around his waist, Song Que felt a warm sensation in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke again.
“After 1 was captured, some of my classmates and I were sent to Lin An City.
“After that, I was saved by Miss Shen there. Then I was brought back to the capital.”
Upon hearing the words “Miss Shen,” Qin Xiaoyao’s body stiffened.
“Is she the eldest daughter of Minister Shen’s family, Shen Rong?” she asked cautiously.
She had not forgotten that Prince Huaiyin had mentioned to her that Minister
Shen intended to have her husband marry into his family for his daughter’s sake.
For this reason, she even specially sent someone to inquire about Minister Shen’s daughter.
It was said that Shen Rong was beautiful and intelligent, well-known for being virtuous and talented.
And now, her husband said that Shen Rong had saved him, so he was indebted to her.
How could she not be worried?
“Mm-hmm,” Song Que replied.
Qin Xiaoyao panicked.
Then, she suddenly retorted, “You want to be heartless and unfaithful?”
Song Que was stunned at once.
Finally, he turned around and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at him angrily, he avoided her gaze with some fear after he looked at her and sighed in his heart at the same time. “When have I ever said such a thing?” Song Que grabbed Qin Xiaoyao’s arms after giving another sigh.
Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.
With just this sentence, the uneasiness in her heart immediately dissipated.
“Then why did you stay in the Prime Minister’s residence? Also, I’ve been in the capital for so long. Why haven’t you come to look for me?”
Now that she was so famous, she did not believe that he did not know where she was.
Song Que fell silent.
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart instantly tensed up again.
Then, she asked icily, “Is Shen Rong interested in you?”
Song Que raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
Then, he suddenly reached out and pulled Qin Xiaoyao into his arms.
Qin Xiaoyao was annoyed and struggled for a while.
As she didn’t use much strength, she was still hugged tightly by Song Que eventually.
“My dear…” Song Que called out.
These two short words instantly made Qin Xiaoyao go weak.
“There are many things I can’t explain to you now. But I hope that you can trust me.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart skipped a beat.
“The capital is more dangerous than it looks. If you have the chance, you should leave as soon as possible.
“Take Mother and the others with you. It doesn’t matter if you guys returned to
Mountain Spring Town or go to the border. Try not to stay in the capital.” When she heard Song Que’s words, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart calmed down a lot, but she quickly asked, “What do you mean? Do you think I’m an eyesore in the capital?”
Song Que hugged Qin Xiaoyao’s waist. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
Qin Xiaoyao immediately looked at Song Que with a resentful expression. “Then what do you mean by ‘that’?”
“Song Que, if you really treat me as your wife, then tell me everything clearly.
“We agreed before that we would shoulder the burden together.
“Besides, I’m now officially a Lieutenant General and a Marquis. 1 can do more things than you,” Qin Xiaoyao said in an energetic manner.
Song Que frowned when he heard that.
When he saw that Qin Xiaoyao was still determined, he finally sighed.
“It is precisely because of this that I don’t dare to acknowledge you publicly,” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao got a shock.
“Empress Jia’s faction is extremely powerful. If she finds out about your relationship with me and the Song family, I’m afraid that you will soon be in danger.”
Empress Jia would never allow her potential enemy to become stronger. Especially since the enemy had such a strong connection to Prince Huaiyin. The reason she did not make a move on his wife now was that she felt there was still a possibility of winning his wife over..
