He Shu, well prepared, cupped his hands and said, "The border herdsmen are driven by necessity for survival; it is not the Khan's original intention. The Khan is willing to offer three thousand warhorses and five hundred camels as compensation, and promises not to march southward for ten years."
The court immediately buzzed with low murmurs. Minister of War, Cao Ge, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Turks are deceitful and changeable, there is fear of a feigned surrender."
Princess Yujia heard this, her fingertips slightly tightened.
She raised her eyes to look at the minister who opposed, and quickly lowered her gaze, but she had already noted his appearance in her heart.
Emperor Jing was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Who is that woman?"
He Shu's heart tightened, but there was no trace of it on his face.
