Chapter 307 Kun Country's Strongest Wife
Yan army camp.
It was already dark. After Shen Changgong finished his military affairs, he asked someone to prepare some things and walked towards the military tent where Tang Xinyi was.
Inside, Tu Queling was still staring at Tang Xinyi intently.
Tang Xinyi sat shivering with her two maids, while the groom sat in the corner with a dull look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shen Changgong walked in, and the sound of his footsteps broke the silence.
"Your Majesty."
Tu Queling saluted.
Shen Changgong nodded and asked,
"Well, did she admit it?"
Tu Que Ling sighed, and said with a somewhat complaining tone,
"You forbade torture, and you told her so right in front of her. She was so confident she didn't say a single useful word. She just said she was a wealthy merchant in the city and had to leave to avoid the war."
"okay, I get it."
Shen Changgong said to the person behind him,
"Come in, everyone."
A large group of guards came in carrying a lot of things.
There was a dining table, cushions, a camp bed, a pile of bedding and everything.
There was someone behind carrying a lunch box with food in it.
"Take this groom away and throw him into the labor camp."
"Yes."
The guards immediately stepped forward and took the coachman away.
The other guards moved the straw on the ground aside.
Some put down the beds and made the bed, some spread bedding on the straw, and some put down the dining table and stools and took out the food one by one.
Tang Xinyi and her two maids watched this scene in surprise in the corner.
The small dining table was filled with dishes, four small bowls of rice, and chopsticks were ready.
"Que Ling, go eat and rest. Leave this to me."
"As ordered."
Tu Queling and all the guards went out.
Shen Changgong sat directly on the cushion, picked up the rice and started eating.
"Let's eat together. Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten all day."
Tang Xinyi looked at Shen Changgong and saw that he was also eating the food, so he probably wouldn't poison it. She hesitated and wondered whether to eat the food given to her out of pity.
"If I want to harm you, do I need to use poison?"
"Eat it if you want. Am I afraid of you?"
Tang Xinyi pulled the two maids up, and she and Shen Changgong sat face to face, with the two maids sitting on both sides.
Seeing that Tang Xinyi had already started eating, the two maids began to eat voraciously.
"Where is the lady from?"
Shen Changgong asked while eating.
"I want you to manage."
Tang Xinyi snorted coldly and continued eating.
"Madam, there's no need to be angry. I was just chatting, not interrogating you. Besides, you're in the Yan army camp. If you offend me, it will only do you harm."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Judging from the way Madam speaks, you must have been quite powerful when you were in your husband's family. What does your husband's family do?"
"Business."
"What's your name?"
"Are you asking me or my husband's family?"
"Ask them all."
Tang Xinyi put down the bowl and said,
"My name is Yang Xinyi, from Huzhou County. I married a man who lived in the capital. My husband was a businessman, but he died suddenly some time ago. I don't know how to run a business, and we happened to be caught in a war. So I sold my property and planned to return to Huzhou County to seek refuge with my uncle.
That’s all. No more questions for you.”
"Dead suddenly?"
Shen Changgong almost laughed out loud.
According to intelligence, Shengjing is now in chaos, and Emperor Kun has gone crazy trying to save her.
But in her mouth, her husband died suddenly.
It seems that she and Emperor Kun are not that loving after all.
Shen Changgong looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, the most noble woman in Kun Kingdom.
Young woman, married woman, widow, queen...
No, she is not a widow yet. She will be after Emperor Kun is killed.
These labels are simply magical BUFFs. Coupled with the other person's flawless and exquisite face, it is difficult for a man not to be moved.
Shen Changgong didn’t understand Prime Minister Cao before, but now he does.
Who can not love such a charming and attractive wife?
Question the thief Cao, understand the thief Cao, and become the thief Cao.
"You...why are you looking at me like that? I'm warning you, I'm a married woman, not a virgin anymore."
Tang Xinyi felt a little uneasy when she saw Shen Changgong's smiling eyes, but his extremely handsome face made her not angry.
Who can resist a handsome guy with a pair of smiling eyes?
"Married woman? Didn't your husband die suddenly? You're a widow now."
"What's wrong with being a widow? Widows are always surrounded by gossip, so they should keep their distance from men, otherwise people will gossip about them.
When are you going to let me go? I'm in a hurry to get back to Huzhou County."
Tang Xinyi picked up the bowl and started eating again.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Since you won't mention your husband's family name, I'll just call you Madam Yang. What do you think of the current situation in Kun Country?"
"What do you mean by that? What does the country's affairs have to do with a weak woman like me? I never leave the house, how would I know these things? If there's a war, I'll just listen to what the servants say when they come back from buying groceries."
Tang Xinyi pretended very well, but was a little too calm.
After all, she was the queen mother, had seen big scenes, and had been in charge of the country for a period of time. She would not be scared to death by Prince Shen.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Madam Yang, you are being too modest. I have seen how calm and composed she is, even in the face of adversity, she remains unfazed. I believe she is truly a rare talent.
Madam, please don't worry. We're just chatting. Do you think Kun can withstand Yan's attack this time? Is there still a possibility for Kun to continue its rule?
Perhaps because Shen Changgong's attitude was too good, Tang Xinyi was no longer as sharp as before. She wiped the corner of her mouth and said elegantly,
"I think Yan will definitely win, and Kun will definitely perish."
"Oh? Why are you so confident, ma'am?"
"Because you are Lanling King of Yan State, if I want to survive, I must go along with you and say things that please you.
If the Emperor of Kun State came to ask me, I would say that Kun State would definitely be able to defeat Yan State and drive away the Yan people.
Isn't this just saying one thing to one person and another to another? What else do you expect to hear from me? What's the difference between this and "Who's more handsome, me or Xu Gong from the north of the city?"
"Hahahaha, Madam is really honest."
Shen Changgong said,
"Then please be honest with me, Madam. I want to discuss with you the future national policy of Yan State ruling Kun State.
In your opinion, after Yan occupies the entire territory of Kun, how should it govern and what policies should it implement?
Hearing this, Tang Xinyi immediately frowned and said,
"Occupy the entire territory of Kun? It seems that you, Yan, really have no intention of negotiating peace. Your talk of paying compensation and ceding territory is just an excuse, right? You want to squeeze more money out of Kun, right?"
"Oh? How did Madam know about the peace talks between us and the Kun Kingdom court?"
Shen Changgong looked at Tang Xinyi in surprise.
Tang Xinyi knew that she had let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly tried to make amends for herself.
"When I came out, I saw imperial edicts posted all over the streets demanding donations. Everyone was discussing this matter. Who doesn't know that your Yan State is demanding cession of territory and compensation?"
