Mu Mingtang was helped onto the horse stiffly by the crowd. Enthusiastic won gathered around, chirping and pointing out where her posture was wrong and where she should use so techniques. Later, Senior Madam Xu heard the commotion and ca out with so crutches.
Mu Mingtang was so embarrassed that she didnt even know how to move her hands and feet. After struggling for a long ti, she didnt even dare to command the horse to move.
Later, the impatient 5th Madam Xu looked worried and took out her horse to show Mu Mingtang what to do. The Princess studied her movents very hard and was finally able to take two steps on her own.
Mu Mingtangs back hurt at the end of the day, but at least it was rewarding. The next day, she went to learn to ride a horse again. She was trying to get on the horse by herself when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Mu Mingtang looked back and asked, Who is out there?
The 5th Madam Xu didnt even look back and said carelessly, Who cares? They are probably the people who co and go around the border area.
On the contrary, the frail 4th Madam Xu sent her servant out to ask about the situation. After a while, the servant ca back, followed by 1st Madam Xu with a worried face.
Mu Mingtang knew sothing was going on as soon as she saw 1st Madam Xus expression. She imdiately dismounted and asked, Whats wrong?
The 5th Madam Xu and 4th Madam Xu also ca around, Sister-in-law, whats wrong?
1st Madam Xus facial expression was solemn and she whispered, Your Highness, soone from the court is here.
Mu Mingtang was startled when she heard the news before she reacted quickly, Is it because of the Prince or ?
1st Madam Xu was impressed as expected from one who ca from the capital, she had such a quick reaction ti. She sighed and said, I dont know either. Now, the imperial envoy was still talking to father and Dalang (1st son of Senior General Xu) in front. Mother saw that in addition to the imperial envoy, there were two Beirong people as well. She was afraid that sothing would go wrong, so I was sent to inform Your Highness and take you to seek shelter.
Mu Mingtang understood the importance of this matter, so she nodded and said, I understand. Thank you, 1st Madam.
When the 5th Madam and 4th Madam heard this, they hurriedly left with Mu Mingtang. They sat in the room, closed the doors and windows and called upon several won who knew martial arts. After a while, Senior Madam Xu sent her servant to deliver a ssage to Mu Mingtang and the others, Your Highness the Princess, 1st Madam, 4th Madam and 5th Madam.
1st Madam Xu asked, Did the imperial envoy say anything?
The other three won also stared at the servant. She sighed deeply and said, The ssenger said that His Majesty has agreed to hand over 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver coins to the Beirong people. As a result, Ye Luyan still refused to withdraw his troops, so His Majesty had no choice but to agree to Ye Luyans request and forfeit the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian and Zhongshan to Beirong. Also, he imdiately removed all military power from His Highness Prince An, Xie Xuanchen.
Huh! Everyone in the room stood up in shock. Mu Mingtang was shocked and horrified when she heard that the three towns were ceded, Didnt we already let King Dongdan go as per Ye Luyans request? Instead of withdrawing troops as agreed, he actually asked the court to cede the 3 major military towns?
