I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 483

Chapter 483

Mu Mingtang was helped onto the horse stiffly by the crowd. Enthusiastic women gathered around, chirping and pointing out where her posture was wrong and where she should use some techniques. Later, Senior Madam Xu heard the commotion and came out with some crutches.

Mu Mingtang was so embarra.s.sed that she didn’t even know how to move her hands and feet. After struggling for a long time, she didn’t 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 movements very hard and was finally able to take two steps on her own.

Mu Mingtang’s 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 didn’t even look back and said carelessly, “Who cares? They are probably the people who come 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 came back, followed by 1st Madam Xu with a worried face.

Mu Mingtang knew something was going on as soon as she saw 1st Madam Xu’s expression. She immediately dismounted and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The 5th Madam Xu and 4th Madam Xu also came around, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

1st Madam Xu’s facial expression was solemn and she whispered, “Your Highness, someone 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 me?”

1st Madam Xu was impressed— as expected from one who came from the capital, she had such a quick reaction time. She sighed and said, “I don’t 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 something 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 women who knew martial arts. After a while, Senior Madam Xu sent her servant to deliver a message 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 women also stared at the servant. She sighed deeply and said, “The messenger 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 Luyan’s request and forfeit the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian and Zhongshan to Beirong. Also, he immediately 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, “Didn’t we already let King Dongdan go as per Ye Luyan’s request? Instead of withdrawing troops as agreed, he actually asked the court to cede the 3 major military towns?”
