He was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation and knew exactly how to proceed.
In essence, these women were to be treated with the utmost respect and care.
Jinwei Land’s envoy observed the circumstances with a displeased countenance.
Having been visibly shaken just moments ago, he was now in a woeful state. His expression had soured considerably, reflecting his discontent.
The immediate crisis had been successfully resolved, but he had not fulfilled the mission entrusted to him by the emperor. His return would likely be met with a stern reprimand.
Initially, he had come to witness the mistreatment of Xu Xunnan in Baizhou Land. Little did he anticipate that Xu Xunnan would endure the same treatment there.
If she emerged from this ordeal unscathed, her reputation would likely skyrocket.
With a dispirited demeanor, the envoy of Jinwei Land followed from behind.
Meanwhile, the Third Prince had already advanced to seek favor.
For a woman to establish herself in Jinwei Land and command respect in Baizhou Land, she must be a formidable figure, impervious to manipulation. By aligning himself with such a person, who could potentially bolster his reputation and standing in the future, he hoped for a brighter future in Jinwei Land. He might even have a shot at ascending to the throne, given the current circumstances.
The Third Prince’s attempts to cozy up to her were thwarted by the vigilant nanny.
The nanny was astute and not oblivious to his ulterior motives.
She was not going to let the Third Prince exploit the situation.
Gu Chaoyan merely smiled.
She found the nanny’s actions endearing.
At times, she leaned on her for everything, while at others, she treated her like a protective guardian, safeguarding her against manipulation by cunning men.
But how could a person like her remain oblivious to it?
The nanny was overanalyzing the situation.
They returned to the palace arranged for them and closed the door.
As the nanny poured the tea, she asked with curiosity, “My Lady, you had the opportunity to negotiate for better conditions for the women of Baizhou Land when you had the King’s attention. Why did you not seek to improve their status? The women of Baizhou Land are in a much less fortunate position compared to those in Jinwei Land. Their plight is truly distressing.”
The nanny was deeply perplexed.
My Lady was known for her benevolence and compassion, and she often acted in the best interests of those less fortunate. Hence, the nanny was taken aback by her apparent oversight.
Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly.
The nanny’s confusion reminded her of Sword One, who always had countless questions and sought answers from her.
In a way, these days were reminiscent of the past.
Unable to resist, Gu Chaoyan’s expression softened. “I have already taken steps to help them.”
“The King of Baizhou Land has witnessed the extent of my cultivation. He knows that his concern is not my power, but the potential for Jinwei Land to send troops if this situation were to escalate.”
“After today, he will likely understand that the women of Jinwei Land are embarking on a journey of cultivation, thus significantly bolstering our national strength. This means that Baizhou Land will be left at a disadvantage. So, what’s the solution? The answer lies in elevating the status of these women, allowing them to contribute to the national strength, thereby reducing the disparity with Jinwei Land.”
“I don’t need to say a word. The King of Baizhou Land will take action. Even if they don’t act today, they will do so tomorrow.”
“You can begin your cultivation. The status of the women from Baizhou Land will naturally evolve. Allow events to unfold on their own. No need for further explanation.”
“What’s our next step now…”
