Su Yujiao nodded: "Yes, but it's very difficult!"
"Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan both know the importance of the Dragon Snake Jade. They obtained it with great difficulty, and it will not be easily found by others."
"Moreover, the two of them have no children and no weaknesses!"
The Empress paced back and forth in the palace, her mind in turmoil: "Let me think about it carefully, there must be a way."
"We can't rush, and we can't be slow!"
The Empress knew that it was precisely in times like these that she needed to remain calm.
However, we can't drag it out too long, or the other party will have everything ready, which would cause a lot of trouble.
Su Yujiao thought the same thing.
Chen Yunniang is from ancient times. When she suddenly travels to the modern world, she must feel confused, helpless, and unfamiliar.
After all, this is a world a thousand years in the future, which is very different from ancient times. She probably wouldn't even know how to use the simplest daily necessities.
She couldn't understand the local language and currency, and even if she wanted to use those high-tech gadgets, she would need an adaptation period.
She needs to learn it before she can apply it, and that takes time.
"Jiaojiao, since you've read this book, you must know them very well."
"Think about how it's written in the book. Do they have any weaknesses, preferences, or secret hiding places?"
"This is what I think: as long as we can capture Chu Zhongyuan, things will be much easier."
"Isn't Chen Yunniang deeply in love with him? Then why can't we threaten her with Chu Zhongyuan's life?"
"Chen Yunniang is threatening you with An'an's life, so you have no choice but to obediently give her the Dragon-Snake Jade."
"Then why can't we use her method?"
"Although this method is old-fashioned, it is indeed effective."
"Sometimes, love can also be a weakness."
"When I was young, I had a loving relationship with the Emperor. At that time, I was afraid that the Emperor would encounter even the slightest danger, and I was willing to give my life to save the Emperor's life."
"If Chen Yunniang truly loves Chu Zhongyuan, she will be willing!"
Listening to the Empress's words, Su Yujiao felt that this was indeed a good idea.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it carefully."
"Because of my interference, many plot points did not follow the original book, so some information is certainly accurate."
The Empress nodded: "Alright, think it over carefully, I won't bother you."
Su Yujiao recalled the entire plot of the book and told the Empress about all the parts and possibilities she could think of.
But we just can't find Chu Zhongyuan!
Su Yujiao looked distressed. In this backward ancient times, without surveillance or the internet, finding someone was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Since this path is blocked, let's try another one."
“I will personally go to the Southern Frontier Kingdom… As long as Chen Yunniang is alone, we will have a chance.”
The Empress and the Crown Prince both disagreed: "No, this is too dangerous."
"I cannot allow you to put yourself in danger."
"I have received news that the Southern Frontier Kingdom has been taken over by their eldest prince, and Nan Sheng has fallen ill with a strange disease and is now bedridden."
"Going to the Southern Frontier Kingdom is tantamount to suicide."
"Unless you let Qian'er accompany you, I will not feel at ease."
“Lu Ziqian can’t come back, and it will be too late by the time he does.”
The Empress spoke up: "My sister-in-law wrote to Qian'er a few days ago, and he should be on his way back now."
"Your Majesty, we really can't wait any longer. Chen Yunniang has a very strong learning ability. Once she understands everything about modern times, no one will be able to stop her."
"My mind is made up; I have no choice but to go."
"I will leave marks along the way, and if Lu Ziqian comes back, I will have him come looking for me."
Seeing her firm stance, the Empress stopped trying to stop her and could only place her most skilled bodyguards and the Lu family's Tiger Guard Battalion under her command.
That very night, Su Yujiao set off on the motorcycle she had given to Lu Ziqian.
Fortunately, she filled several cans with gasoline at home, otherwise the motorcycle would have been scrap metal.
The Dark Guards and Tiger Guards were all highly trained, and even though the motorcycles were fast, their light-footed skills could keep up.
Although they were exhausted, they finally reached the border of the Southern Frontier Kingdom seven days later.
Su Yujiao decided to rest for one night at Hutou Pass, and then send her secret guards to infiltrate the Southern Frontier Kingdom to investigate the situation.
It would be best if we could work together with Nan Sheng from the inside, otherwise her plan would be difficult to succeed.
Two days later, the people who had been sent out to gather information returned one after another.
"Have you found out any useful information?"
"Has Chen Yunniang already performed the moon-worshiping ceremony in public?"
"What strange illness has the Crown Prince contracted?"
"Is he sick, or is he being held captive?"
The man knelt down and replied, "I have discovered that Chen Yunniang has not yet appeared in the Southern Frontier."
"But news of the Holy Maiden's imminent return to her country has already been sent back."
"The entire Southern Frontier Kingdom is in an uproar. The royal family is also preparing for the Moon Worship Ceremony, just waiting for the Holy Maiden to return to the country."
"As for what illness the Crown Prince of the Southern Frontier Kingdom has, I haven't found out yet, I've only found a prescription."
Please take a look.
Su Yujiao asked in surprise, "Chen Yunniang hasn't arrived in the Southern Frontier Kingdom yet?"
An Yi said, "Generally speaking, it takes more than a month to travel from the capital to the Southern Frontier Kingdom."
"You only took seven or eight days."
“Even if she left half a month earlier than you, she still arrived later than you.”
Yes, she overlooked that point and thought Chen Yunniang was up to some kind of scheme again.
It's no wonder she's overthinking things; she's just been dealing with too many things lately.
Su Yujiao then unfolded the prescription and examined it carefully. It was just a common prescription for catching a cold.
But how come she heard that the Crown Prince was seriously ill and unconscious?
If she had truly fallen into a coma due to a high fever, she would have died long ago and shouldn't have been in a coma for so long.
No, there's definitely something fishy going on here!
Could it be a curse?
The Southern Frontier Kingdom is most skilled at using Gu poison, while she knows nothing about how to cure it.
If the Crown Prince has been poisoned, then there's really nothing she can do to help.
If we could sneak into the palace and let her see the Southern Crown Prince's condition with her own eyes, things would be much easier.
Or, taking advantage of the fact that Chen Yunniang has not yet arrived in the Southern Frontier Kingdom, this is a good opportunity for her to sneak into the palace and get close to Nan Sheng.
But how can she get into the palace?
Who should I ask for help?
She doesn't dare to easily contact the people Nan Sheng left her before.
What if they betray Nan Sheng and become the Crown Prince's men?
To rashly contact those people would be tantamount to courting death.
"An Yi, go and inquire again. This time, the main thing is to find out about the Empress of the Southern Frontier Kingdom."
"As the biological mother of the Southern Prince, she certainly wouldn't betray him."
"yes."
That very night, An Yi brought back news of the Queen of the Southern Frontier Kingdom.
The day after tomorrow at noon, the Empress will go to the Temple of the Holy Maiden to pray for the Crown Prince.
"Go and make the arrangements. I need to see the Queen of the Southern Frontier Kingdom."
The day after tomorrow at noon, the Queen of Southern Xinjiang went to the Temple of the Holy Maiden.
According to the customs of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, no one could be beside her when she was praying, so as not to offend the holy maiden.
The Queen of Southern Xinjiang was chanting scriptures when she suddenly saw rows of ants appearing under her prayer mat.
