"Your Highness, you have imprisoned me without my permission. Dongying will not let you off easily." Madam Wan finally revealed her true colors, her beautiful face twisted with hatred.
Song Yue smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Liang Ying is already on her way."
A look of panic flashed across Madam Wan's eyes. She put away her vicious expression and softened her tone: "Your Highness, please be magnanimous and spare us."
"Give her muscle relaxant powder. If she dares to try to escape, throw her into the military camp, reward the troops, and then send her back to the Wan family."
As Song Yue spoke, the panic in Madam Wan's eyes turned into fear, and she left satisfied.
As a woman herself, she hated that Madam Wan had deceived Liang Ying.
After leaving the side courtyard, Song Yue sighed deeply, the pent-up frustration in her heart lingering. Amber stepped forward: "Does the Crown Princess really intend to stand up for Liang Ying?"
"It's no trouble at all, considering we're both from Northern Chu."
She thought of how Liang Ying had consulted countless doctors and endured so much suffering in order to give birth to a legitimate son, only to be deceived by her husband and his concubine in the end.
For no other reason than to save face.
These two people must be handed over to Liang Ying.
"Madam Wan's food supply is temporarily cut off. From now on, she will be kept alive with ginseng soup every day for three days. She must not die," Song Yue instructed.
Amber nodded: "Madam Wan has two daughters and a son. Her eldest son is already sixteen years old this year, older than Madam Wan's two daughters, which means that she was already pregnant before she became a concubine. If Lord Liang knew that his youngest son had been impersonated, I wonder if he would be furious."
Liang An is in his early thirties, which means that this conspiracy has been planned for at least thirty years.
Thinking about it carefully is chilling.
"Your Highness," General Shen stepped forward and bowed, saying, "According to our spies, the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang has quietly arrived at the border."
Song Yue raised an eyebrow: "Find him! We must find this person."
We must not allow the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang to reconcile with Japan, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain.
“This second prince of the Southern Frontier is skilled in disguise. It will take some time to find him.” General Shen frowned, which was also what troubled him.
Everyone is different; you might not recognize someone even if you walk down the street.
Song Yue already knew about the second prince. Her mother had said that the second prince came from a lowly background. His birth mother was a foot-washing maid who was lucky enough to get pregnant by climbing into the emperor's bed while her master was drunk.
However, not long after the second prince was born, his birth mother died. The Southern Emperor disliked this son, so he found a reason to send him away to learn skills at a young age, so that he wouldn't have to see him or be bothered by him.
When the second prince was a teenager, he fell off his horse and injured his leg, which made him walk with a slight limp. He also had a strong reaction to willow catkins and other similar substances, and would break out in rashes all over his body if he came into contact with them.
"Amber, prepare willow catkins, the more the better. Also, find dozens of embroiderers who know how to sew. Today, we need to prepare a sachet for every soldier and even every commoner."
Although Amber didn't understand, she still did as instructed.
Song Yue explained, "The Second Prince has a strong reaction to willow catkins, so everyone must wear a willow catkin sachet around their waist just in case."
General Shen suddenly realized.
After preparing all night, everyone wore sachets, claiming they were for praying for blessings. They were required to wear them when leaving or entering the city, and anyone who did not wear one would be taken to the backyard for a thorough investigation.
In addition, Song Yue and General Shen also prepared special secret orders.
“Instead of waiting for the Second Prince to appear, we should force him out.” Song Yue didn’t have the patience to waste time. She sat in her chair, put her elbows on the table, and gently tapped the table, making a clattering sound. “It’s time for the Japanese to taste the flavor of Five Powder.”
"Send out all the fabrics we brought in."
Two weeks later
The border between the two countries became increasingly unsettled, especially on the Japanese side. The people and soldiers seemed to have contracted a strange illness, with many of them listless, dispirited, and dispirited.
Clang!
While the soldiers were practicing their swordsmanship, their weapons suddenly fell to the ground, and the soldiers swayed before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
This immediately caught the attention of the soldiers at the front.
"A military doctor!"
"A military doctor!"
Soon, one, two, or even three people will have the same symptoms.
The military doctor stepped forward, checked the pulse, and examined the mouth and nose. The next moment, his expression changed slightly, and he retreated repeatedly: "This, this is an epidemic!"
The moment the word "epidemic" appeared, the soldiers were in an uproar, covering their mouths and noses and backing away.
The news quickly reached Xuanyuan Chen's ears, and he demanded with a grim expression, "Hurry up and prepare the antidote, brew the medicine! Seal the city gates!"
"yes."
The news that the Japanese had contracted the epidemic could not be concealed and spread quickly.
Everyone at the border lives in fear.
A carriage stopped at the border. A maid helped a woman with a protruding belly down from the carriage. The woman looked anxious and angrily rushed inside.
Amber had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw the person coming, she bowed and stepped forward to greet him: "***".
The newcomer was Princess Liang Ying. She gently raised her chin and asked, "Where is your master?"
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, she has been waiting for you for a long time."
"lead the way."
Princess Liang Ying stepped into the courtyard and saw Song Yue leisurely feeding the fish under the eaves. Suppressing her anger, she asked, "Where is she?"
Song Yue turned around and scattered the fish in her hand into the water, saying casually, "I'm the kind of person who never gets up early for nothing."
When Princess Liang Ying received the letter, she was already trembling with rage. She had rushed to the border by carriage and could not wait any longer. Now she could no longer contain herself: "There is no need for formalities between us. Just tell me what you want. Today, I must see that despicable couple!"
Song Yue, not wanting to beat around the bush, pursed her lips, threw all the fish food in her hand into the pond, and stood up abruptly: "Come with me!"
