"How do you know that the Ai family knows this? Is this even important?" The Queen Mother glared at him, "Hurry up and agree to negotiate a peace quickly. The most important thing is to calm down the chaos in front of you!"

Qin Xiao looked at the Queen Mother, then at Nan Wanyan, and sat down with a heavy chest, "The matter has come to this, what can I do even if I don't agree? Everyone seems to have given me a choice, but in fact there is no room for choice!"

Nan Wanyan's eyes flickered, and there was a smile in her tone, "So the emperor has agreed?"

Qin Xiao did not respond, with a hint of unwillingness hidden in his eyes.

If Chonglin had directly captured Daxia, or if Su'er had not been seriously injured and had directly sent troops to deal with Xiye and then captured Daxia, everything would not have turned out like this.

He didn't say these words and just snorted, "Wrong step, wrong step!"

Nan Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your Majesty, if you don't refute, I'll take it as your acceptance."

"I look forward to negotiating peace with the emperor. I believe that in the end, both of us will find a good solution."

After saying that, she turned to look at the Queen Mother meaningfully. Out of respect, Nan Wanyan nodded and said, "On behalf of Daxia, I am also grateful to the Queen Mother for her profound understanding of justice and her willingness to stand up and admonish the emperor in times of crisis."

The Queen Mother frowned with a complex expression. She stared at Nan Wanyan with increasingly mixed emotions in her eyes. She couldn't help but look away and said clearly, "The Ai family doesn't like Nan Wanyan."

Nan Wanyan listened without changing her expression, her mood unaffected.

Then, the Queen Mother turned her head again, frowned slightly and sighed, "But the Ai family has always liked Meng Qianqian who is unfazed by honor and disgrace, and is generous and measured in everything she does."

"You have traveled thousands of miles for Xiaojiu. Tiansheng and Daxia are incompatible with each other. You can go deep into the tiger's den to see him. This affection is so true and sincere that the Ai family really looks up to you."

Qin Xiao said nothing, but there was some recognition in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't like Nan Wanyan at first, but after getting along with her for a while, he gradually felt that there was indeed a lot to like about this girl. No wonder both his brother and son liked her.

Nan Wanyan was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he saluted the Queen Mother, the respect a junior should show to his elders.

"Whether it's Nan Wanyan or Meng Qianqian, I'm always me. Thank you Queen Mother for your appreciation."

"I had no choice but to deceive the Queen Mother before, but the Queen Mother can help me comfort the Emperor regardless of the past grudges. Wan Yan is very grateful."

The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly dazed, and her expression was indescribably complicated and shy.

She glanced at Nan Wanyan, and her voice suddenly felt awkward, "Since we have agreed to your peace proposal, can the Ai family also see their great-grandson in addition to their great-granddaughter?"

"I heard that those two little guys are now in Xiye. I'm afraid the Queen Mother of Xiye won't let them go. After all, Xiaojiu is not a bloodline of Xiye. There should be chaos there."

Gu Mohan is not a bloodline of the Xino royal family, but he is the emperor of Xino.

If he does not ascend the throne in an orthodox manner, there will definitely be chaos in Nishino. If other royal families are dissatisfied, there may be a bloodbath in both the government and the public.

Qin Xiao also wanted to see his grandchildren, but it was difficult for him to say so. Now that the Queen Mother had said it, he was naturally happy to see it happen and was waiting for Nan Wanyan to speak.

Nan Wanyan was stunned and pursed her lips in embarrassment.

She was not sure about the specific terms of the third brother's peace negotiation, so she could only say for the time being, "The Queen Mother and the Emperor will know all the terms on the day of the peace negotiation."

The ambiguous answer aroused people's imagination. Qin Xiao pursed his lips and said nothing more. The Queen Mother opened her mouth and hesitated.

She really wanted to talk to Nan Wanyan about Gu Mohan. After all, she liked her grandson very much now, but once the Three Kingdoms negotiated peace, Gu Mohan's life experience might not be hidden...

After thinking about it again and again, the Queen Mother still refrained from asking, "Okay, now that this matter has been decided, you two can discuss other matters."

"Aijia is already tired, so I won't tell you more." She stood up shakily, waved her hand to signal Qin Xiao who was about to see him off, to stop, and left the hall alone.

Outside the hall, Nanny Zhu had already heard clearly the conversation between the three of them.

She didn't know how to digest the overwhelming information, nor how to comfort the old lady in front of her. She could only walk up and help her with red eyes, "The Queen Mother..."

The two have had a master-servant friendship for decades. Even if Aunt Zhu didn't say anything, the Queen Mother knew what she was worried about. She patted her hand and said, "The Ai family is fine. Go back."

"Okay." Grandma Zhu responded, and the two of them walked on the road together in silence.

After a while, the Queen Mother still couldn't help it, and looked at Aunt Zhu with red eyes, "Aunt Zhu, do you think that if Xi Ye revealed Xiao Jiu's identity to the people in Daxia on the day of the peace negotiation, would he Are you really going to leave the Aijia?"

Grandma Zhu was speechless and couldn't help but sigh, "Old slave, I don't know either."

The Queen Mother stopped and looked at the bricks and tiles of the palace wall beside her, her eyes showing the loneliness and sadness after all the vicissitudes of life, "Actually, the Ai family knows in their hearts that even if they continue to think about this matter, there will be no result."

"We can only take one step at a time. After all, the current situation is turbulent and the Ai family is getting old. After all, the world will not be owned by Tiansheng."

The bleak wind carried fallen leaves and shattered them all over the ground. The backs of the Queen Mother and Aunt Zhu looked small and helpless in the huge palace...

At the same time, Ye Qianfeng left the palace and returned to the inn, where he saw Gu Mohan, Feng Yang and others waiting for him.

Feng Yang frowned and asked with a hint of urgency, "The Emperor has just told us, how is it? Is the situation going well with the Queen Mother?"

Ye Qianfeng's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to look at Gu Mohan, who was drinking tea very calmly at the table, as if he was very sure about what he was told.

He curled his fingers, nodded and said solemnly, "It's done. After the queen mother learned about the situation, she went to find the princess and Qin Xiao without stopping."

Feng Yang breathed a long sigh of relief before sitting back down again, "That's the case, then it couldn't be better."

Several Daxia soldiers gradually let go of their worries, and finally saw some glimmer of hope.

They used both soft and hard tactics, but the soft one actually started from the Queen Mother.

Think about it, the bloodline of the Tiansheng royal family is weak, and Gu Mohan is of Tiansheng's bloodline, so the children he and Nan Wanyan have are of the Tiansheng royal family's bloodline, and are Tiansheng's great-grandsons.

But these children are all in Xiye, and they are all with the opponent's house. How can the fight continue? Negotiating peace is the best way out.

Ye Qianfeng asked Gu Mohan solemnly, "But even so, Tiansheng may not agree. What should we do next?"

Gu Mohan put down the tea cup and rubbed the edge of the cup with his knuckled fingers, "You don't have to do anything next, just calm down."

"Calm down?" Ye Qianfeng and Feng Yang said at the same time, neither of them understood.

"The princess is still in their hands. If we don't negotiate for peace, we won't be able to rest at ease. How can we stay calm?"

Gu Mohan glanced at the two of them with half-squinted eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Negotiating a peace is just like fighting a war. It's all about psychological games."

"Whoever can't sit still first will lose. You have strength and confidence that is far superior to Tiansheng, so there is no need to worry. When the time comes, those who can't calm down will come to you."

What he said made sense. Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng lowered their eyes and thought about it. They were indeed not as anxious as before.

"But just waiting is not an option. Is there nothing else we can do?" (End of Chapter)
