Su Qiongshi had a different idea, "Father, why hasn't the plague spread to other places in Qingyuan'an County, a severely affected area?"
"As for sending assassins to kill them, my daughter thinks there's no need to rush and that we should keep them for a while. We have more important things to plan for right now."
Because the upcoming natural disasters such as floods, underground fires and extreme cold will be enough to make them suffer.
Before a series of natural disasters hit, she needed to make some preparations. While making a fortune, she also needed to build up her reputation. She wanted to gain both fame and fortune.
"Planning for what? Planning for the prince?"
Ever since Su Qiongshi dreamed about the future development of the situation, Su Chun believed her words without a doubt.
Su Qiongshi nodded and then shook her head, "For the Crown Prince and for our Prime Minister's Mansion, the Crown Prince will surely ascend the throne smoothly. Now that he is in a weak position, we are making plans for him."
"By then, father will be the crown prince's most trusted confidant, and I will be the mother of the country."
"By then, our Su family will have everything we want, father, don't you want that?"
Su Chun nodded excitedly, "Of course I do, Qiongshi, the glory of the Su family depends on you."
Su Qiongshi smiled proudly, "Father, I am your daughter. As long as the Su family prospers, no one can shake my status."
"Master, Miss, I have an emergency to report." Chuntao knocked on the door three times and said with a hunched back.
"Come in."
Chun Tao entered only after hearing Su Qiongshi's voice. She greeted the two of them, bowed slightly, and held the secret letter high in her hand. "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a secret letter, and you must check it immediately."
"Immediately?" There must be some emergency, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have given such instructions.
Su Qiongshi unfolded the letter and sneered unhappily when she saw the contents. "This is just a small matter, is it worth His Royal Highness the Crown Prince making such a fuss?"
"What's the matter?" Since the prince specifically instructed this, the situation must be serious.
"Father, please take a look! We've urgently sent it back from Yuan'an County, a hundred miles away."
Su Chun quickly unfolded the letter with a puzzled look on his face. "Sha Yi is asking for credit for a woman."
"It seems that Yuan'an County found a skilled doctor who prevented the plague from spreading. Now that Yuan'an County has completely eradicated the plague, Sha Yi has come to ask for a reward."
Su Qiongshi nodded and said, "She's just a woman. There's no need for father to send anyone to inquire, but..." Su Qiongshi paused.
"But what?"
"Father still needs to send someone to find out about Lu Changgong and Su Sijin. Even if we can't spare the time to deal with them right now, we still need to keep track of their every move in case of emergency."
After Su Qiongshi finished speaking, she looked at Chuntao thoughtfully.
Chuntao felt Su Qiongshi's hunter-like gaze, and lowered her head as low as she could, thinking that Su Qiongshi would not notice her.
However, how could Su Qiongshi let the prey she had set her sights on escape? She only heard Su Qiongshi say in a deep voice, "Chun Tao, it's time for you to show your loyalty."
When Chuntao heard this, she crawled on the ground in fear, and her trembling body seemed to express her fear.
Su Qiongshi's fox eyes flashed with disdain and displeasure, "Why? Don't you want to?"
The loud voice made people feel the threat in the words. If Chuntao dared to refuse, the end that awaited her would definitely be extremely miserable.
"Chun Tao wouldn't dare, Chun Tao will definitely not fail in her mission."
As a servant, how could she dare to refuse, unless she wanted to die.
Su Qiongshi only chuckled, but she didn't forget to knock, "Chun Tao, you used to serve Su Sijin, but I tell you, you eat the food of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you used to receive the monthly salary from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now you receive the monthly salary from me, Su Qiongshi."
Su Qiongshi paused. She pinched Chuntao's chin, forcing her to see the warning in her eyes, only to see her gaze suddenly turn cold.
"Also, your father, mother, and brother are all from the Prime Minister's Mansion. You should recognize who you are loyal to, don't you know?"
Chun Tao was frightened by the murderous intent in Su Qiongshi's eyes and quickly expressed her loyalty, "This servant will follow the young lady's instructions and will not dare to have any second thoughts. This servant will definitely help the young lady solve her problems."
Chun Tao shivered. Although she had served Su Qiongshi for only a few months, these few months of experience were enough to make her remember Su Qiongshi's cruelty.
If she dared to have second thoughts, not only she, but also her parents and brother would suffer.
Therefore, even if Su Qiongshi asked her to go through fire and water, she would do it anyway.
Su Qiongshi smiled with satisfaction and shouted loudly.
"Someone come."
After a moment, two servants came in and said, "Send her to the torture chamber."
Chuntao looked at Su Qiongshi in disbelief. She had already agreed to it, so why should she go to the torture chamber?
Only those who have made mistakes will be sent to the torture chamber, so why... should she go?
It is said that people who are sent to the torture chamber will suffer a fate worse than death, and even if they do not die, they will be skinned alive.
Before Su Qiongshi came back, the torture chamber in the Prime Minister's Mansion was just a decoration. As soon as Su Qiongshi came back, she gave the slave who neglected her a warning and reopened the torture chamber.
After Su Qiongshi used Diao Nu to make an example of someone, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion dared to look down on her anymore. Everyone who worked in her yard did so with their tails between their legs.
He was afraid that if he displeased Su Qiongshi, he would be dragged to the torture chamber and punished.
It is said that they tortured people to death, and whether they could survive depended on whether they could endure it. If they could endure it, they would live, but if they couldn't, they would be wrapped in a bed of rags and thrown into a mass grave.
Chuntao never imagined that after she betrayed Su Sijin and served Su Qiongshi, she would end up in the torture chamber one day.
Chuntao broke free from the servants' shackles, rushed to Su Qiongshi, and questioned Su Qiongshi without knowing her identity.
"Miss, Miss, why? I have done nothing wrong!"
