They were walking on the main street of Tacheng. The Tartan Kingdom’s trade was significantly developed. The main commodities were leather goods, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. There were also goods from the Great Xia Kingdom, mainly cotton cloth, silk, charcoal, etc.

Ji Shuisheng thought of the coal mine. He wondered what would happen if he transported the coal here to sell.

Saiya, who thought Ji Shuisheng was just curious, introduced him to the market. As she spoke, she led him to the palace and reminded him,

“The palace is in front. I’ll take you to see the Empress.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

He saw a vast training ground following Saiya into the palace compound. On both sides were swords, spears, swords, and halberds on the weapon racks. The most eye-catching thing was the big bow on the shelf. It was much bigger than an ordinary bow and arrow, and it could not be pulled open without the strength of a thousand pounds.

The people of Tartan were valiant and martial. They liked wrestling and archery.

It could be said that everyone was a soldier, and real soldiers were trained diligently. Compared to the Great Xia Kingdom’s army, which was undisciplined, they had strict military laws and strict training.

Ji Shuisheng looked around for Su Qing, wondering where she was. Did she also enter the inner parts of Tartan like him?

Before he could let go of his thoughts, Saiya brought him to a magnificent palace.

Saiya jumped off the horse and threw the reins to the guard. She turned around and smiled at Ji Shuisheng.

“Wait for me here; I’ll report to Mother.”

Ji Shuisheng didn’t move from his horse, only nodding slightly. Saiya looked at the god-like man, her beautiful eyes twinkling with stars, and her smile became more bashful.

As a result, the smile on her face had not disappeared when she walked into Mother’s palace!

The cold wind was blowing outside, but the inside of the yurt was as warm as spring. The Empress wore a purple palace dress, her hair tied up into a loose bun, and a hollow phoenix golden hairpin was on her head. Beaded flowers on her temples made her look graceful and luxurious.

Although the Empress was already middle-aged, she had cared for herself well. Her skin was white as winter snow, and her beautiful eyes flowed with splendor. She was not angry and had an imposing aura. Seventy percent of Saiya’s appearance was like hers.

At this moment, the Empress was boiling milk tea in front of the stove with a golden spoon. The steam curled up and made her white cheeks red. She liked making milk tea and never asked others to do it.

Seeing Saiya walk into the palace with a chill, the Empress’s eyes flashed with reproach, and she reprimanded,

“Saiya, why are you only here to greet Mother now?”

Saiya pouted her pink lips and came over to hold her arm by her ear. She leaned her cheek on her mother’s shoulder and said aggrievedly.

“Mother, Saiya almost couldn’t see you.”

“What happened?”

Hearing her precious daughter’s words, the calmness on the Empress’s face disappeared.

“Saiya wanted to help my father and go to the Great Xia Kingdom to find a doctor to treat him. She did not want to encounter a wolf pack on the way…”

Saiya then told Mother about how she was attacked by the wolves and saved by Ji Shuisheng. The Empress’ face turned pale after hearing this, and her eyes turned fierce as she shifted her anger onto the servant girl Du Juan.

“How did Du Juan serve you? To let you take the risk?”

“Mother, don’t blame Du Juan. Who can stop a daughter’s decision?”

Seeing that her mother was angry at Du Juan, Saiya took responsibility for it. The truth was the same. Du Juan tried to stop her, but she couldn’t. She was even scared away by Saiya’s whip.

“You really shouldn’t let Mother worry.”

The Empress stretched out her slender jade finger and tapped her daughter’s forehead. Her eyes were filled with reproach and helplessness.

“Where’s the Han who saved you? Let him in. Mother wants to thank him for saving your life.”

“He is waiting outside the palace. Mother, you must reward him well.”

Saiya’s face lit up at the mention of Ji Shuisheng, and the love in her eyes could not be hidden.

“He’s mighty. He shot two arrows simultaneously, and his archery skills are superb. Even our Tartan’s most powerful Zhe Bie can’t compare to him.”

When the Empress heard that her daughter had such a high opinion of Ji Shuisheng, she wanted to meet this young man even more.

Saiya was born into the royal family and had a proud personality. As a mother, she understood her daughter too well. Ordinary men would not be able to get such a high evaluation from her.

Saiya’s eyes lit up at the mention of this man. Her daughter was in love.

A man who could move her daughter’s heart was not ordinary.

“Let him in. Mother knows what to do.”

The Empress nodded to Saiya and asked the servant girl to put the milk tea into an exquisite silver pot. When the guest arrived, she would fetch it for him to taste.

Saiya flew out like a cheerful swallow. The smile on the queen’s face faded as she watched her daughter’s back.

While Ji Shuisheng had gone deep into the Tartan Kingdom’s palace, Su Qing was placed under house arrest in a small yurt. The Second Prince had ordered that she be only placed under house arrest and not tortured. She had to be treated well with eating and drinking.

At this moment, Su Qing sat in the yurt holding a large piece of roasted lamb leg. The Second Prince had even ordered someone to bring her wine, which could be considered taking good care of her.

Su Qing casually placed the gold nugget the Second Prince gave her on the table. The guards who brought her food and drinks could see it when they came in and out. They were very envious.

While Su Qing was being treated with high standards by the Second Prince, the First Prince was listening to the report from his subordinates with a gloomy expression. After listening to the report, he narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice,

“You’re saying that person is the Second Prince’s spy?”

“Yes, I saw him talking to the Second Prince’s soldiers with my own eyes, and then the Second Prince ordered him to go in.”

“You guys can leave first!”

The First Prince waved his hand with a gloomy expression and chased everyone out of the tent. He looked at the military counselor sitting at the side drinking milk tea.

“Advisor Jun, what do you think?”

“You can take people to the Second Prince and ask him for the assassin.”

Advisor Jun took a sip of milk tea. The beauty the First Prince had sent over last night had upgraded his Yin-Yang Fusion Technique, and he was radiant today.

“Alright, I’ll go and fight with the Second Brother.”

The advisor’s words were exactly what he wanted. The First Prince raised his eyebrows. Now that Tartan was in his hands, he could capture whoever he wanted.

Moreover, there was a reason!

While the First Prince prepared to capture Su Qing, Saiya brought Ji Shuisheng into the Empress’s palace.

The Empress sat behind the table and looked at Ji Shuisheng with a dignified expression. Her eyes were indifferent and revealed a light that made people not dare to look at her. When facing her daughter, she was a loving mother but full of dignity when meeting others.

“Mother, this is my benefactor. His name is Ji Shuisheng.”

Saiya happily introduced Ji Shuisheng to Mother. Ji Shuisheng put away the hostility in his eyes and pretended to be honest. He cupped his hands and saluted the Empress.

“Greetings, Empress.”

“Saiya said you saved her from the wolves?”

The Empress nodded slightly as a form of acceptance of Ji Shuisheng’s greeting. Her voice was emotionless as she asked.

“If we meet, anyone will save us.”

Ji Shuisheng said indifferently, neither servile nor overbearing.

The Empress saw that he did not take credit for himself or flatter her, so she had a good impression of him.

She sized up Ji Shuisheng again and saw he was tall, strong, and authoritative. His appearance was even more heroic, unlike the Great Xia Kingdom civil officials she had seen before. All of them were refined and unmanly.

After the Empress finished sizing him up, her impression of Ji Shuisheng improved slightly. She could consider marrying her daughter to him if he had a noble status..
