"If General Han had not fought bravely and shed blood in battle, how could we have ever returned to our homeland? We might have died old in a foreign land!"
In another carriage, an elegant woman nearing her fifties, wore a delighted expression on her face: "Is this General 'Odd-eyed'? Truly a person of remarkable presence and a pillar of the state!"
The scene was profoundly moving.
However, Zhao Haiping's performance was just an act, while the sentiments of the other two and Empress Dowager Wei were genuinely heartfelt.
They were indeed grateful.
This elegant woman, nearing fifty, was none other than Empress Dowager Wei, the birth mother of Prince Nine, Emperor Gaozong of Qi.
According to historical records, after General Han Fuyue was wrongfully executed and the peace treaty was signed between Qi and Jin, at the repeated requests of Emperor Gaozong, Empress Dowager Wei was released by Jin and allowed to return to the Qi Dynasty.
