Three days later, the concubines to be sent to Prince Jing's mansion were selected. Without even raising his head, Tuoba Jin quietly instructed Ning Yun to send them over.

"Tell my brother that these women are virtuous and kind, and my wife and I have carefully selected them. We hope they can win his heart and relieve his wife's worries."

"Here."

Ning Yun took the imperial edict and left with the group of women.

Xiao Linglang had recovered some of her energy today, and took the initiative to check the items brought with the army. The clothes did not need to be too gorgeous or fancy.

Jewelry? She looked at the pearl hairpins in two boxes, and didn't want this or that, only keeping some that looked simple and of medium value.

There are also some sets of priceless tables, stools and seating, but I don’t want any of them.

Qinghan was looking at the things that had been cut down by half from behind, staring at them in confusion, "These are what the queen usually uses, why did you take them all away?"

Xiao Linglang clapped her hands and noticed someone coming over from the corner of her eye. After receiving the look from Xing Qiu, she raised her eyebrows slightly and turned her body slightly to prevent others from seeing her expression.

"The Wolf Lord is going to the war, and I, as his wife, am still living such an extravagant life with the army. Even if the soldiers don't say it, they will feel it in their hearts. The Wolf Lord loves me, so I should also love him. Besides, what I left behind is enough, and it is far more than I should have."

"Your Majesty, you have thought it through very well." Qinghan was awakened by these words and immediately asked someone to renovate it.

Xing Qiu, who was working silently, took the lead to pick up Xiao Linglang's neatly arranged clothes and put them back in the closet. When Shan Zhi put the jewelry on the dressing table, he picked out a few and stuffed them into his sleeves when no one was paying attention, and then rearranged the top layer so that no one could tell that they had been turned over.

Ning Yun originally wanted to tell the master that her pony had been hungry for several days and was willing to move its hooves and eat on its own initiative. Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, his intelligent eyes rolled around.

He walked forward with smiling eyes and informed her of Keli's situation. Then he went back to the Qinzheng Palace without stopping and embellished Xiao Linglang's words before speaking to Tuoba Jin, who was reviewing the memorials.

At first glance, Tuoba Jin's expression didn't change much, but upon closer inspection, he saw that his sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised and the depression in his eyes was less intense.

He placed the red brush on the pen holder and shook his head calmly, "Those old guys are always bothered by their wives and concubines and can't bear to see me live a comfortable life."

Ning Yun responded with a smile, "The queen has a good heart, unlike the wives of those people. She doesn't make noises, is obedient and knows when to advance and when to retreat, and can even help the Wolf Lord. They secretly envy the Wolf Lord."

"You must have learned this from her." Tuoba Jin snorted and glanced at him indifferently.

"If I could understand the Wolf Lord as well as the Majesty does, I wouldn't have to make the Wolf Lord angry every day." Ning Yun said with a laugh.

“Heh.” Tuoba Jin sneered, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.

In Qiuyue Palace, Xiao Linglang checked her own things while slightly curling her lips and paused, asking Qinghan to collect more of Tuoba Jin's clothes.

Xing Qiu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and leaned towards her. He frowned and said, "You have to be sincere. You have to make him feel that you are interested in him. You have to pretend to be sincere to make it seem like it."

Xiao Linglang stopped moving her hands, and the last bit of smile on her face disappeared. Her foot under her skirt slowly moved a step away from her.

Xing Qiu curled his lips speechlessly in his heart. Well, this little ancestor was said to be angry again.

What can she do? It's because her current man keeps such a tight watch on her that she feels so insecure.

Xiao Linglang snorted. How could she do what he wanted? She could still refute him before, but now she just goes along with him in everything.

She glanced at the people working around her, then moved back to Xing Qiu's side and said softly, "Humph, that's all you can do."

Turning around, she went back to the room. Xing Qiu rested her hands on the box, resting her teeth against the back of her mouth, and laughed angrily. She wiped her face, thinking that she considered herself the best thief in Nanliang. She only stole dead things, but never people. She never thought that stealing a person would be so troublesome!

Thinking about the brothers who were still imprisoned, she gritted her teeth, secretly stayed aside, wearing a headscarf, and studied the plan to steal people.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the army to set out. Xiao Linglang was wearing a light blue autumn outfit and a wolf cloak of the same color, standing beside Tuoba Jin.

After they finished the sacrifice and got on the carriage, he snorted lightly and glanced at Xing Qiu who was following him.

Xing Qiu knew he was in the wrong, so he glanced at the ground and sniffed.

This Mobei Wolf Lord is such a piece of shit. She is just a woman, but she is watched so closely. Her three meals a day and even her words and deeds have to be reported. She has no chance to do anything.

She glanced at Shan Zhi who was standing beside her with a happy face, and her eyes flashed. She couldn't go back to the royal court. Once in the royal court, there would be no chance of escape.

Xing Qiu followed him into the carriage and knelt in a corner with Anong. They lowered their heads to serve the servants in their hands and minimized their presence. Shan Zhi served at Xiao Linglang's feet.

After Xiao Linglang got on the carriage, she yawned a little, held the picture album in her hand, and flipped through the pages one by one. She could now read the notes below the inserts easily.

Tuoba Jin tilted his body and looked at her. Occasionally, when he saw that she stayed on that page for a long time, he asked her to read it out loud so that he could listen to it too.

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and her pronunciation was mellow, which was a real pleasure for Tuoba Jin to listen to. He half embraced her and squinted his eyes to rest.

If she paused, he would open his eyes and look over, he would see the little girl's eyes looking for help, and he would recite it to her in a clear and melodious voice, asking her to continue.

Xing Qiu, who was doing manual work in the corner, moved his ears slightly, and the work in his hands was a mess.

……

It was early winter, on the northern front of the Jiehu, Xiao Linglang was staying in the king's tent wrapped in a thick cloak. The biting cold wind seemed to be able to penetrate the tent and carry the murderous bloody smell to his nose.

Xiao Linglang rubbed her face, put on a veil, and led Shan Zhi to walk around the royal tent. Looking at the officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth, she frowned. It seemed that Tuoba Jin still had no intention of coming back.

Two days ago, Tuoba Jin finalized the plan to capture the northern city line of Jiehu with his generals in the royal tent. After asking her to stay in the royal tent and not to go out casually, he led his troops away and there has been no news since then.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Our Wolf Lord is the bravest warrior on this grassland. We don't need to take the mere Jiehu seriously." Shan Zhi said proudly.

Xiao Linglang nodded, her eyes fell on the patrolling soldiers, observing them intently.

"Your Majesty, the weather is cold, let's stay in the tent. If the Wolf Lord comes back, someone will definitely inform him." Shan Zhi said, pinching her red nose.

She didn't want to be blown by the cold wind here. What if she caught a cold? Her eyes fell secretly on Xiao Linglang.

It would be great if she were sick. The weather is so cold and there are not enough medicines. It would be best if she were sick enough to die, Shan Zhi thought jealously.
