"Why?" Song Qingshu asked in confusion.
"Now that the Shen family has been wiped out, where could she go after you save her?" Zhao Min asked. "Besides, I could vaguely see a death wish in her eyes just now. The reason she let Yelü Yixin manipulate her was most likely because someone had threatened her with her parents or other members of the Shen family, leaving her no choice but not to resist. Once you rescue her and she discovers that the Shen family is gone, do you think she might impulsively take her own life?"
"That's true." Song Qingshu nodded. "But leaving a young woman trapped in such a den of demons is still dangerous."
"You mean especially such a devastatingly beautiful young woman, don't you?" Zhao Min said with a faintly teasing smile. "Don't worry. Under other circumstances, she might indeed be in danger of losing her chastity. But since Yelü Yixin intends to present her to the Emperor in the future, he absolutely will not allow anyone to defile her beforehand. Otherwise, all his efforts would be wasted."
Seeing that Song Qingshu was still hesitating, Zhao Min continued, "Don't forget the purpose of your trip. Yelü Yixin may be a treacherous minister, but if his plan succeeds, the Liao Country will fall into chaos. At that point, the pressure on your Jin Dynasty will be resolved with ease. You might even seize the opportunity to bring talented people like Yelü Qi over to your side. Why not?"
Song Qingshu was no longer the impulsive youth who disregarded consequences. He realized that rescuing Shen Biqun now would alert the enemy, and Yelü Yixin's plan would be postponed indefinitely. Then the Liao Country would not fall into chaos and would naturally send troops south...
"The County Princess is right.
