The sun has set to the horizon, and there is only a ray of residual light left on the earth. Most of the houses in the village have poor lighting, and the light inside is even dimmer at this moment.

Asari and Duan Xuehen walked into the main hall together and found that Emperor Zhu Gaoxu was sitting alone on it, with no one beside him. There was a black wooden table above with chairs on both sides. Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair on the left, and he changed into a red dragon suit and a black hat on his head.

Zhu Gaoxu must have noticed the two women came in from the door. However, he did not look at Asari and others, and was still sitting there, his eyes drooping, his hands folded together next to his forehead, as if he was thinking about something.

"Master, Concubine Khan is here." Duan Xuehen squatted slightly and saluted.

Zhu Gaoxu changed his position, leaned his back against the chair, and looked at Asari.

Asari said: "The emperor deliberately angered me and lured me to find the theory of "Fu Chi". When setting up a trap, you had already arranged someone to eavesdrop on it in advance?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Yes. The key to success in this matter is that Concubine Khan really does not know about the conspiracy, otherwise it will be difficult for you to be impulsive. I just chose to believe that you do not know and bet that you did not lie."

"But you lied to me!" Asari said a little excitedly. After saying that, she realized that she didn't know which sentence Zhu Gaoxu was a lie.

Strangely, Zhu Gaoxu did not defend himself, but was just silent.

Asari asked again: "Is the Oirat prisoner who eavesdropped?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In addition to the generals of the Ola, there is also a Jinyiwei Captain, who is a Mongolian who has long surrendered to the Ming Dynasty."

Asari seemed to hear a "buzzing" in her mind, she shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty is such an unscrupulous person. Why do you do such a thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu's tone was not turbulent. He looked at Asari's eyes and said frankly: "The Tatars conspired to provoke discord. I just used a small trick so that the Oirats could know the truth. Is it not possible for the Oirats to do it, but people are not allowed to know? It is true that if the Oirats and the Ming people are like monkeys, they are teased by Arutai's fire-red spirit, isn't it called "using any means"?"

Asari glared at Zhu Gaoxu, and suddenly felt that what he was talking about was the truth.

But she did not admit her thoughts, and said to herself: "The conspiracy has nothing to do with me. Now that I have become a Tatar sinner, why should Your Majesty treat me like this?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If Concubine Khan is a sinner, then the Tatars superiors have no mind and only cunning. The conspiracy of Duhuo Chi is not glorious in itself. As one of the masterminds, he made mistakes because of his stupidity, but he would blame you for his mistakes? Concubine Khan has been excluded from planning and has not known about it in advance."

Asari looked at Zhu Gaoxu with complicated eyes. She had a rich expression and blurted out: "Lord, your Majesty is really... I almost believed it."

She did think Zhu Gaoxu was very good and was willing to believe in the reasons that could make her shirke the responsibility. But her intellect made her understand that after the failure of this major event in Mongolia, people would not reason with her.

Asari sighed "ah": "When Mahamu, the Oirats, will be angry and angry when they know the truth, and send troops to attack the Tatars? The two sides fought each other, and the casualties were counted. Your Majesty's fisherman benefited. Is this the result your Majesty wants?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I am a person who loves peace. The most important result I want is that the Oirats and the Tatars are willing to obey the mediation of the Ming court, and everyone can live in harmony. The result I don't want to see is of course the northern tribes who are interested in harassing and robbing the Ming Dynasty."

When Asari heard this, he suddenly understood the difference between Alutai and the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu was very cruel when he swept the grassland and was not ruthless when using a trick. But what is amazing is that he always spoke of benevolence and morality, and either said righteousness or peace, or was a victim of robbery.

Before entering the house, she obviously wanted to blame Zhu Gaoxu, and even worried that he would not admit it. But now, he admitted it calmly and said openly that he was right. This is not a quibble, but the key is that Asari was convinced, and he felt that what Zhu Gaoxu said was not without reason.

Asari asked weakly: "What should you do with us by your Majesty?"

Zhu Gaoxu said in a casual tone: "After a while, I will put you back. The Ming Dynasty court has agreed to Alutai. As long as Alutai is granted a title, you will be allowed to borrow the truth. I have always been an honest person."

Asari didn't know whether he should continue to believe him. Because the facts were right in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to be such a sincere and kind person.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said again: "Of course, if you want to stay in the Ming Dynasty, we will still accept you."

Asari shook his head without hesitation, thought for a while, and said, "No matter what, I still miss life on the grassland more. The tents, sheep pens, everything is not that fine, but it is very strong. On the vast grassland, there is no city tower or house wall, and it is impossible to separate people in small places. When we walk out of the tent, we will be a spacious grassland. We will ignite a bonfire on the grassland to dance, or meet and talk about everything."

Zhu Gaoxu finished listening to her patiently, and then asked quietly: "It's just because of the baby? The baby you gave birth to Benjali."

Asari said a lot, but was stopped at this time, and stood there speechlessly.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "A long time ago, I was on the beach. I talked with a friend at night and talked about a lot of life. My friend said that women care about the most and their children. I think it makes sense."

Perhaps it was Zhu Gaoxu's heart-to-heart talk tone that made Asari relax again. She couldn't help but say: "The child looks very much like Benjali's sweat. When I saw the child, it was like seeing the big sweat still alive. I once made up my mind to protect the child to survive."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, but his eyes were sometimes very focused. When Asari saw his eyes, he felt as if he wanted to continue listening.

She exhaled and said in a convoluted tone: "Anyway, there is nothing that cannot be said."

Asari began to tell the past a few years ago, starting from the defeat and fleeing of the Great Khan (Benyari Khan) army. At that time, they fled westward and had already entered the place where the Oirats were active, so they defected to the Oirats leader Mahamu. Because the Great Khan was nominally the entire Mongolian Khan, the Oirats should also respect the Great Khan.

But then it was not like that. Mahamu was just respectful to the Khan on the surface. After Mahamu brought everyone to the west and away from the Tatar tribes, he began to plan and prepare to encircle and slaughter the remnants of the Tatar tribes and kill them all.

The Oirats first deceived the Tatars, let everyone relax their vigilance, and gradually separated the remaining troops of the Khan, and then Mahamu quietly deployed troops. However, there were still Mongols in the Oirat tribe who truly respected the Khan. So someone reported it in advance and told the Khan about the situation.

At that time, Da Khan knew that Asari was pregnant, so he did not choose to escape immediately. Instead, he sent someone to inform the people on Asari and asked them to try to escape immediately. Da Khan stayed in his original place and bought time for Asari and others to escape.

At first, Asari was unwilling to live alone. But the secret envoy brought a letter from the Khan, who told her to obey the arrangements.

In the letter, the Khan said that the Oiratist Mahamu was most concerned about the Khan, so it was difficult for him to escape successfully; on the contrary, the people on Asari were relatively neglected and seized the opportunity to escape early, and it was possible to succeed. The Khan hoped that Asari would give birth to the child and live a good life.

Because of this, Ashari, Tuohuochi and other groups had the opportunity to flee to Hami in a panic, otherwise they would have been slaughtered by the Oirats without knowing it.

"He died for me." Asari said the past, she was already in tears, crying in her voice, and she choked up, "If it weren't for giving birth to his child, I would never want to leave him and run away..."

Even Duan Xueheng, who was silent on the side, was a little moved and kindly handed Ashari a handkerchief.

However, Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the upper position, had almost no expression on his face, as if he had not had much emotional fluctuations. However, Zhu Gaoxu at least spoke very politely, and he said: "Benyari is at least a brave ruler, and deserves my respect."

"I don't know why I have to say this and why I have to say it to you." Asari hurriedly took Duan Xuehen's handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face.

Duan Xueheng said, "It's better to speak up."

Asari said, "I don't want to be like this. I shouldn't be so weak. The Mongols of the Oirat tribes are the most treacherous and cruel people in the world. I shouldn't have forced Tuhuochi to destroy their strategies so that the Oirats can pay the price."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "But before that, the conspiracy had failed."

Asari was stunned for a moment, and then realized from the collapsed mood that things were indeed as Zhu Gaoxu said. Even if she did not allow the Ming emperor's counter-espionage plan to succeed, the conspiracy could not continue, and it would be even more difficult to provoke a war between the Ming Dynasty and the Oirat tribes.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be very clear and could always point out the key points of things to the point, without being affected by sensationalism. When Asari calmed down a little, he observed his divine gaze and thought of him understanding the people's sentiments and other things. He was difficult to understand this person for a moment, and he did not know whether he was sentimental or cold-blooded and ruthless.

At this moment, a eunuch walked in and bent down and said, "Your Majesty, it's dark. I'll ask someone to come in and take the lights. The chef has prepared a meal. Does the emperor want to have a meal?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

The eunuch worshiped: "Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu then said to Asari: "Stay here to have dinner together."

Asari did not refuse.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "You don't need to avoid Benyari's sweating child, you can take care of him personally. I will not be unable to get along with a child, and Concubine Khan can rest assured."
