Xia Mingzhao's father, the King of Zhenbei, was very successful and the emperor was afraid of her, so he transferred her away from the capital to guard the border for three years. During this period, she killed countless enemies. The emperor intended to betroth her to the foolish prince, but she was unwilling to enter the palace as a hostage, which made her very worried.
On the day she bought the man, she had just returned to the city after fighting. She was covered in blood and met a group of human traffickers.
Among a group of poor people in ragged clothes, he was the only one standing. His legs were broken and he couldn't kneel down. He didn't have any good flesh on his body. He only had a cold and handsome face, but his body was thin and slender and he couldn't work.
Xia Mingzhao wanted to buy him, "How much will it cost?"
"If you buy this one alone, it's fifty taels. If you buy them all, it's one hundred taels."
"It's expensive." She got on her horse and started to leave.
A message came from behind: "Second Lieutenant, I have read military books. I can settle accounts. I can also... Know how to warm a bed."
Xia Mingzhao was silent for a while, threw down a hundred taels of silver notes, and took the person away.
Later she found out that his name was Jiang Yulian and he was from Jinling. He was said to have been robbed on his way to Beijing to take the exam.
She didn't believe it. How can any scholar rushing for the exam have that kind of look in his eyes?
But it was bitterly cold in the border town, and it was good to have someone who could settle accounts for her. He could calculate military pay for her, write documents, silence the superiors, and marry her, and wait until the limelight was over before they reconciled. He agreed.
Until that day, he went to herd with the army but never came back. Xia Mingzhao was recalled to Beijing and rode alone for seven days and seven nights. After debriefing, she wandered around the capital bored, but she saw him in the backyard of Prince An's Mansion.
He was imprisoned, sitting sickly on the couch, his face was pale, and there was a medicine bowl on the table. No one was taking care of him, and he was already cold, like a cold and hypothermic beauty.
Her heart ached so much that she climbed in the door and said, "I'll rescue you. Let's go back to Mobei and let our horses go. We won't suffer this bad luck in the capital!"
Jiang Yulian leaned his head in her arms, "I'm dirty. If you reconcile now, I will never blame you..."
The corners of Xia Mingzhao's eyes were hot, "Who do you think I am? Let's go home and live our lives."

Jiang Yulian was a lonely and important minister of the previous dynasty, secretly controlling the dynasty, waiting for the change of dynasties. He was not in Beijing, but his power was in Beijing. He was hidden in the world and controlled the world.
After he was escorted back to Beijing, he was invited back to the palace by people from Prince An's Mansion to recuperate, but he was snatched away by a woman.
The nine royal sons seized the throne, and the second prince rebelled. The prince ordered the Zhenbei Army to quickly enter Beijing to put down the rebellion.
Xia Mingzhao received the order, put on his armor, mounted his horse, and led the troops to the expedition. On the 30th, during the 17th and 17th battles, she cut down three enemy generals and was hit by two arrows, but she never got out of the line of fire.
In the last battle, she broke into the second prince's camp. After the smoke cleared, she carried his head and walked step by step towards the new emperor sitting on the horse.
Her eyes turned red, she calmed down, and then she saw a person standing behind the new emperor, wearing a black brocade robe, a jade crown tied up his hair, and his eyebrows were the same as before.
Is it Jiang Yulian?
Xia Mingzhao almost dropped his knife to the ground.
Intention: May you love yourself and have a smooth and magnanimous life.
