Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
"If I were a princess, I would have to be like me, hum." Su Jingyao snorted and said coquettishly.
"But why did Your Majesty come so early today?" Su Jingyao asked softly with a little confusion on her face.
Jun Zecheng has been extremely busy with political affairs during this period. Su Jingyao could also guess that Jun Zechen was preparing to attack other countries and had been making various preparations for this.
"I am training cavalry in Dongzhou and will not start a war in the short term. I will probably have to wait until Yaoyao gives birth."
“So this period won’t be as busy as before.”
Jun Zechen had already trained a large army in the Inner Sea, and had also informed several court ministers of his ideas in detail.
The troops are ready to march to the coast.
But in the past ten days, Jun Zechen and several ministers have discussed it many times.
Finally, after careful consideration, it was decided to delay the war.
If a war is launched now, it is impossible for the Canglang Kingdom to be unaware of it. If the other side takes advantage of the situation, it will be a loss for the Jun Kingdom.
However, Junguo has a vast territory and abundant resources, and a large number of troops. At the same time, it is training cavalry in Dongzhou. Even if Canglang Kingdom wants to intervene, it will have to see whether Junguo’s cavalry agrees.
Su Jingyao did not ask too much about his policy decisions, but just nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Yuqing Palace.
In the inky black palace, only the faint candlelight that seemed to be extinguished at any time was flickering weakly.
The dancing flames tried hard to release light, but they could only illuminate this small world.
The figures of a master and a servant can be vaguely seen.
It was just that the servant, who was supposed to be humble and submissive, seemed to exude a different temperament at this moment, which made it difficult to ignore.
Concubine Lan frowned slightly, with doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Are you sure the information you received is accurate?"
She stared closely at the servant in front of her and asked softly.
At this moment, Concubine Lan had a gloomy expression on her face.
At that time, the queen almost had a miscarriage. In order to create a conflict between Jun Kingdom and Yuehui Kingdom, Concubine Lan deliberately wanted to frame Concubine Ming.
So that the Yuehui Kingdom would mistakenly believe that the Jun Kingdom was about to go to war with them.
Because the spies of Canglang Kingdom in Jun Kingdom brought news that Jun Kingdom seemed to be training its army in secret, although it was impossible to find out exactly where the army was training and what kind of soldiers were being trained.
However, their Canglang Kingdom can cleverly make Yuehui Kingdom think that Jun Kingdom is going to deal with them, so that Yuehui Kingdom can strike first.
Once two countries go to war, there will naturally be someone who benefits.
The Canglang Kingdom is a nation of horsemen and warlike by nature. They have long coveted and eyed the fertile land of the monarchy.
But the Jun Kingdom was too powerful, and the Canglang Kingdom could not do anything for a while.
But if Jun Kingdom dispatches its troops to attack Yuehui in advance, wouldn’t Canglang Kingdom have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
Unfortunately, the last carefully planned frame-up ultimately ended in failure, but new information was unexpectedly obtained.
The palace maid beside her stood there quietly, with her head slightly lowered, making it impossible to see her face clearly.
"Of course it's accurate. Your Majesty is going to attack either Yuehui or Lingyu."
The palace maid's voice was extremely hoarse, as if her throat was broken, and every word she uttered was difficult to pronounce.
The maid then slowly said, "Your Majesty is training the army in the inland sea. Most of the training is about water battles."
"Oh."
Lan Fei chuckled, and a smug smile instantly appeared on her face.
"That's really easy to get. I will write a letter to Canglang right now, asking him to be patient. I will also ask Yuehui and Lingyu to prepare for Junguo in advance. When Junguo attacks, Canglang will take advantage of the opportunity to attack."
As she spoke, Lan Fei raised the corners of her mouth, with a hint of calculation and expectation in her smile.
Afterwards, Concubine Lan frowned slightly again, with a look of deep thought on her face and her brows tightly knitted together.
"I just don't know when your country will start a war?"
"No matter when, the master just needs to wait for good news." said the maid aside.
Then her eyes revealed a hint of reluctance and hatred, "The Queen is going to give birth in three months, Master, don't you plan to do anything?"
"I know you hate the Queen, but not only is the Kunning Palace well-protected by His Majesty, but the Queen herself is no ordinary person. How can I do anything?"
Lan Fei shook her head slightly as she spoke, with an annoyed look on her face.
Doesn't she want to deal with the Queen? Although Concubine Lan is a concubine, she is restricted in what she can do because the Queen holds the power in the harem.
Then Concubine Lan said, "If I do something to the Queen and cause your Majesty to become suspicious, wouldn't that make your Majesty also suspect Shang Cang Lang?"
"Master, why do you have to do it yourself? Isn't there someone in the cold palace who is almost crazy?"
There was a hint of bewitching in the maid's voice, and her eyes were even more vicious.
"The queen is pregnant with twins. If she really dies during childbirth, the master will have one less powerful enemy, and it won't be as difficult as it is now to pass on the news."
As the palace maid spoke, she raised her head and stared at Concubine Lan, her eyes seemed to urge her to act quickly.
After hearing this, Concubine Lan gradually fell into deep thought.
There was a flickering light in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
She entered the palace relatively late, and was not very clear about the entanglement between Ling in the cold palace and the queen.
But this palace maid knew it clearly.
Ling's hatred for the Queen was indeed no less than that of this palace maid. Using Ling to deal with the Queen was indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
And in this way, no one will easily suspect her.
Ever since she entered the palace, she has always been noncompetitive.
If the queen really was gone, it would be much easier for her and her brother to communicate.
If the monarchy goes to war with another country in the future, the harem will definitely block the news.
The Queen's methods were so powerful that it was extremely difficult for her to spread the news.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lan said, "You hate the Queen. It's up to you to figure out how to get Ling to offend the Queen. I won't interfere in such matters, but I won't stop you either."
Lan Fei had an indifferent look, no warmth in her eyes, and her voice was icy cold.
"If something happens, I won't protect you."
After Lan Fei finished speaking, she raised her head slightly, with her facial expression remaining unchanged.
"Yes, I will do this myself."
The maid lowered her head, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.
She has nothing to lose now. Even if both of them perish together, she will never let the queen have an easy time!
