Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengli said sarcastically, "Oh, the emperor is trying to do both. Is he so unconfident in his own abilities? He has to suppress those who have made great contributions."

As soon as he finished speaking, the back door was pushed open and Long San quickly hid behind the wall.

It was Yunying who pushed the door open and walked out. He looked around cautiously, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Jiang Mengli: "Come out."

Long San then came out and introduced himself, "I am Long San, the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Dragon Shadow Guard? !

As everyone knows, the Dragon Shadow Guard is under the control of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and now they appear here.

Yunying was particularly surprised, "What do you want to see the princess for?"

Jiang Mengli repeated his purpose, "He came to tell us that His Majesty intends to recruit ten lieutenant generals from the Poison Scorpion Army and asked us to come up with a countermeasure."

"If Wen Mohan loses these troops, it will be easier for the emperor to target him. I can't guarantee that all ten lieutenants will be completely loyal to Wen Mohan."

There was once a deputy general who was bribed and drugged Wen Mohan, so they could not be allowed to enter the palace.

Several people fell silent, seemingly thinking of countermeasures.

After a moment, Jiang Meng said, "Yunying, send someone to follow Long San and assassinate him halfway..."

"Assassination!" Long San interrupted her in shock before she could finish. "Princess, are you repaying kindness with enmity? You can't do this."

Jiang Mengli rolled his eyes at him. "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious? Of course, the assassination isn't a real assassination. It's just to make you look seriously injured..."

The three of them put their heads together and discussed quietly.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Mengli gave Long San a small bottle of rejuvenation liquid and a Thousand Poison Pill.

"This rejuvenation liquid is very good for treating internal injuries and can also prolong life. Be frugal, just one drop is enough. The Thousand Poison Pill can cure a thousand poisons."

She was a little reluctant and didn't let go for a long time.

"Okay, then I'll go." Long San clenched it tightly in his hand and immediately jumped up.

Seeing him take away such good things, Yunying muttered unhappily, "You didn't even give these life-saving things to the master. Aren't you a little biased?"

After all, the master is her husband, and Long San is just a friend.

Could it be that in her heart, the master is not as good as a friend?

Jiang Mengli crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "It's not like your master hasn't taken this medicine before. If your master hadn't taken this medicine, how could he have made love with Miss Lianxiang?"

After saying that, he walked into the mansion and ignored him.

Yunying stood there in a daze for two breaths, and soon understood the deeper meaning of the words.

The princess must still be jealous and angry about the incident with the brothel girl, so she is indifferent to her master.

After he thought of this, he hurriedly chased in to explain: "Princess, wait a minute, let me explain to you, the master did not have..." any relationship with the prostitute that night.

"Have you forgotten the important matter?" Jiang Mengli interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "Let's not talk about unimportant things. Let's finish what we just discussed."

…

Time flies, and two days passed quickly.

The emperor came to the Cining Palace to visit the empress dowager who was feeling unwell.

"Emperor, why are you here? Ahem..." The empress dowager was lying on a recliner in the yard. When she saw him come in, she tried to get up with difficulty.

Ever since the incident in the Peony Garden, her health has never improved. She looks pale and haggard, has no strength in her body, and is always dizzy.

The emperor immediately stepped forward to stop her, "Your Majesty, there's no need to stand up. Just sit down. The imperial physician said you're not fully recovered yet, so I came to check on you."

Why……

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, sat up straight, and said weakly, "I always can't sleep at night, and my head is dizzy. This is because I am angry with Jiang Mengli and his wife."

"Lin Mo'er was such a straightforward girl, yet she was killed by them before she even got married. And yet I can't even avenge her openly. Isn't that infuriating?"

When I talked about this matter, I felt suffocated and uncomfortable in my heart. I frowned and sighed repeatedly.

Nanny Ning immediately handed over some tea. "Don't be angry, Empress Dowager. The imperial physician said that your health is poor because of your depression."

The emperor smiled and took the empress dowager's hand, comforting her: "Wen Mohan has already gone to Huangzhou. I guarantee that he will never return, so you should relax."

"Also, I intend to persuade the deputy general of the Poison Scorpion Army to serve me. It doesn't matter whether they have the tiger talisman or not. They won't go to Huangzhou to help Wen Mohan privately. I believe they are already on their way back to the capital."

The Empress Dowager hadn't heard anything happy recently, and she was very excited after hearing the Emperor's words.

Finally, there is some good news that can make people happy!

Hahaha……

"Good, very good!" The Queen Mother patted the back of his hand with a smile on her face. "You are indeed worthy of being the Son of Heaven. You are so smart. When the time comes, I must use both kindness and power."

"You are the emperor, and he is just the son of a prostitute. If they know what's good for them, you won't have to waste your breath to make them obey you."

Once the mood improves, people feel more energetic and the tension in their heart is relieved.

Seeing this, Nanny Ning immediately smiled and flattered him, "Your Majesty is your biological son, he must be smart, otherwise how could he be the emperor?"

"The entire Dasheng belongs to Your Majesty. If the small Scorpion Army dares not to obey the Holy Will, it will be courting death. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Everyone felt that they had a sure win, and the atmosphere was no longer dull.

The emperor and the empress dowager chatted and laughed, and talked about the future, expanding the territory, unifying the six kingdoms... their ambitions were lofty.

Basically every emperor has such an ideal goal, but very few actually achieve it.

The Queen Mother laughed heartily. "Look at the attitude of the neighboring countries towards our country. They are respectful and follow our lead. The people live and work in peace and contentment. This shows that my son is the best and most powerful emperor."

"Forget about the unification of six nations, even the unification of eight or ten nations is possible. Those small nations are as timid as mice and might even give in."

Hahaha……

"Thank you for your good wishes, mother." The emperor was also very happy, as if victory was just around the corner.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" Suddenly, Eunuch Fu came hurriedly, panting and sweating profusely.

The emperor's smile faded, and he frowned unhappily, "Don't you know the rules? You can't be reckless in front of the Queen Mother!"

Facing the scolding, Eunuch Fu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to admit his guilt, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I shouldn't have barged in so rashly."

The Queen Mother waved her hand. "I forgive you, but are the ten lieutenant generals of the Poison Scorpion Army here? This is a good thing, how can it be a bad thing?"

"Emperor, you go and handle the business. Although they are only deputy generals, you still have to give them face and not neglect them. Remember to use both kindness and force."

These words made Eunuch Fu sweat profusely. The Queen Mother was so happy that he didn't know whether he should say it out loud here.

Ahem…

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, it's not like that. It's... it's..." He seemed to be hesitant to speak and wiped the sweat off his face with a serious expression.

The emperor frowned in displeasure and said in a stern and majestic tone, "If you have something to say, just say it! Why are you hesitating?"
