According to Xie Pei, Miss Qiang was a member of the exterminated Luandu tribe. She had just turned eighteen this year, and when she was still a child, the Luandu tribe had already fallen into the hands of the Shiyi tribe, and she had become a slave of the enemy tribe ever since.
Now at the age of eighteen, she has been sent to Tianxiang Kingdom, thousands of miles away, to serve as a spy. This is enough to show her ability. Moreover, she has done so much just to restore the freedom of the Luandu people.
This woman is brave, resourceful, and cautious in her actions, so Su Wan naturally looks up to her.
Originally, he thought that he could conceal the truth for a while by catching those spies under the pretext of theft, but he did not expect that the beautiful lady Qiang would use this as an excuse to bite back and take advantage of the saint's disgust for Xie Pei to turn black into white.
Hence the current situation.
When Su Wan asked someone to go to Zhang Yuchu to invite Lady Qiang, she wanted to make medicinal food, so she was afraid of conflicting the medicinal properties.
He also knew for sure that she would put on a show in front of the Saint, so by not allowing her to go to the Qinzheng Hall, he could not only prevent people from prying about the news, but also show his sincerity to the Saint.
So she had no reason not to come.
When Miss Qiang came over, Chef Zhang arranged them to stay in a small hall on the side. It was quiet here, and no one could eavesdrop if they guarded the door. It was a very good place.
Su Wan sat in the small hall waiting, and the palace maids from the imperial kitchen brought her tea.
Many people still respect people from the Shangshisi.
And asking Lady Qiang if there is any conflict with her medicinal diet sounds very reliable.
About quarter of an hour later, Miss Qiang came in with a crowd of people. She did not talk to the people from the Imperial Food Bureau first. Instead, she carefully looked at the dishes for tonight, made sure there was no problem, washed up and prepared some soup. Then she sat down in the small hall to rest and listen to what kind of medicinal food the people from the Imperial Food Bureau were going to prepare.
Look at this posture, it really strikes a perfect balance.
And it’s all for the saints.
"Tell me what medicinal food you are going to make." Lady Qiang said with a smile, still wearing the same concubine-colored dress she wore today. From the time she went to the Qinzheng Palace and joined forces with Imperial Concubine Jiang until now, she has not returned to her own palace, which shows that she is very concerned about this matter.
Su Wan smiled and didn't intend to beat around the bush. She gently opened the box next to her and said, "You are well versed in pharmacology, so you must know what's inside."
As she spoke, Su Wan opened the box, leaving just a slight gap to ensure that Miss Qiang could see it.
Seeing what was in the box, the beautiful lady Qiang subconsciously gripped the armrest of the chair, looked at the people around her and said, "You guys step back first."
Sister Cuizhu and Aunt Yonglan, who came with Su Wan, hesitated for a moment, and when they saw Su Wan nod, they went out.
When waiting, only Lady Qiang and Su Wan were left in the small hall. Lady Qiang's gentle expression changed, and there was a hint of cold beauty, but this kind of beauty seemed to be in harmony with her.
"Who are you?"
Su Wan did not answer, but sat on the other side of the chair, opened the box completely and put it on the table: "Sadong grass, a wild grass unique to the grasslands outside the northwest."
"It's not right to call them weeds. Every autumn when the grass turns yellow, these sedums will slowly take root. It's not until winter when the ground freezes and you need to clear the snow to get a dozen of them. Whether you use them to cook or chew and swallow them directly, they can replenish your physical strength."
"I guess as a princess of the Luandu tribe, you relied on this to survive in the winters of previous years." Su Wan's tone was gentle, without any sarcasm. She was just stating, or guessing, the situation at the time.
Seeing that Miss Qiang's expression showed a hint of relaxation, Su Wan knew that she had made the right bet.
"Who are you? Why are you saying all this?" Lady Qiang frowned. Even the prince only knew that she was from the Luandu tribe, but did not know her identity as a princess. How did the little maid in front of her know that?
It would have been fine if the little palace maid didn't look up, but as soon as she looked up and saw her eyes, you could tell that she was a very smart girl.
"I don't know why you are telling me this."
Su Wan smiled and said, "Let me correct you. As a concubine, you cannot call yourself this palace."
"Sometimes that's where your secrets come out."
"So you are blackmailing me?" Lady Qiang sneered, "Are you and the prince in cahoots?"
Su Wan didn't answer. The two of them already knew each other's identities, so the content of the conversation that followed naturally became more in-depth.
First, Su Wan used the unique sedum grass outside the northwest pass to tell Lady Qiang that she knew her identity. Sure enough, she sent the people around her away, leaving only two people.
At this time, Lady Qiang also knew that Su Wan was the emperor's man, so they were trying to find out the truth between each other.
But the beautiful lady Qiang didn't want to get entangled, so she immediately stood up and said, "Someone, come quickly."
After saying that, he looked at Su Wan.
There was no need for her to say anything. As long as she arrested the little palace maid in front of her, it would be another piece of evidence of the prince's crime. Once the prince was deposed and that stupid eldest prince ascended the throne, the Tianxiang Kingdom would definitely become even more chaotic.
When the time comes.
By then, she will be able to take her people away from the Shiyi clan and find a new place to recuperate.
This is her mission as a princess of the Luandu tribe.
She was captured at the age of three, and her entire clan hid her until she was eight. Finally, they could no longer hide her, so she was pulled out.
During this period, the tribe gave her the few remaining rations, and the tribesmen dug snow in winter to find sedum for her, so that she would not starve to death.
She watched as her tribe members dwindled day by day, until now there were less than five hundred left.
So when she heard this while serving as a concubine beside the leader of the Shigeyoshi clan, she immediately decided that since the Shigeyoshi clan could not find a suitable candidate to go to Tianxiang Kingdom, then she would be the most suitable candidate.
She was a slave captured by the Shiyi tribe, and also a princess of the Luandu tribe. She wanted to do something for her people.
One can imagine the means used by the beautiful lady Qiang to be able to rise from a lowly slave to the leader's unnamed concubine.
In fact, no matter how much they said, this look only lasted for a moment, but both of them could see something in each other's eyes.
Seeing that the people outside were about to break in, Su Wan said, "Do you want revenge?"
Lady Qiang, who always made up her mind, was stunned when she heard this.
Su Wan was still sitting there, and even poured herself a cup of tea: "Want revenge?"
"Insult your clan and your people."
"Why must it be just to get away? If I were you, I would want them to experience the pain you've experienced a thousand times more."
These words touched upon the deepest thoughts in the heart of Rose Beauty. She sneered, "Being young is good. You can dream whatever you want."
At this time, the door had been opened, but Lady Qiang said, "Go away. I misunderstood her."
The people at the door looked at each other, unable to see clearly what was going on in the house, but since Lady Qiang was so favored, they decided to listen to her.
The people outside retreated again, and Su Wan asked again: "If you didn't have this dream, why did you let them retreat, why didn't you arrest me?"
It was just a girl who said something that sounded like a fairy tale, so the beautiful lady Qiang let her go for the time being.
Who made Su Wan say that what she was thinking?
Seeing this, Su Wan felt more at ease and continued, "An unattainable idea is indeed a dream, but who says dreams can't bear fruit?"
Su Wan poured a glass of water for Miss Qiang and asked her to sit down and talk slowly.
There is only a three or four year age difference between the two, but Miss Qiang has a mature temperament, like a blooming rose, while Su Wan has a quiet temperament, more like an epiphyllum that requires patience to appreciate.
"If Tianxiang Kingdom is your backer, how many points do you think you can win against the Shangjiyi clan?"
Beautiful Qiang frowned: "One point."
The current Shiyi clan has more than 100,000 members, but they could only find 500 members of the Luandu clan.
One hundred thousand versus five hundred, so Lady Qiang said that Su Wan’s revenge was a fantasy.
But why is the chance of winning still one point even with Tianxiang Kingdom as the backer? Of course it is because Tianxiang Kingdom will not send out all its troops for the 500-member Jiyi clan?
Definitely not. Lady Qiang doesn't think that Tianxiang Country is wasting money and manpower, and will do her best for them.
At most, they sent troops to defeat the Shiyi clan because they were a threat to them. Besides, with the current border defense strength of Tianxiang Kingdom, it is not certain who will kill whom.
Although there are many people in Tianxiang, there are more than 100,000 clan members, and even women and children can pick up swords and ride horses, so it is naturally different.
This point is given because of the vast territory of Tianxiang Kingdom.
Su Wan smiled: "Tianxiang Country will naturally not do its best to help you get revenge."
"But do you think that the prince will let them go after he escapes from danger today?"
"Or will the Ding family let them go?"
"When the time comes, the Tianxiang Kingdom will send troops to kill the Shiyi clan, and you, the Luandu clan, will recuperate."
“Who knows if things will turn around in five or ten years?”
Beautiful Qiang frowned again.
What the little palace maid said actually had two meanings, one of which was the superficial thought.
Another layer was reminding her that more than ten years ago, it was because the Tianxiang Kingdom attacked the once powerful Luandu tribe that the Luandu tribe was unable to recover. From then on, the Shiyi tribe found an opportunity to annex them bit by bit.
Lady Qiang, who had experienced this incident, understood the situation best.
The situation was reversed, with the identities of the two tribes reversed. The Tianxiang tribe attacked the Shiyi tribe, which allowed the Luandu tribe to slowly find opportunities.
Beauty Qiang sneered: "You are just being too smart by saying this. Are you reminding me that the extermination of the Luandu tribe was also caused by Tianxiang country?"
"When you say revenge, doesn't that mean you want to take revenge on Tianxiang Kingdom as well?"
Now it was Su Wan who sneered. There was a hint of smile in her eyes. This was the innate confidence of being born in the Central Plains Dynasty and in the land of China.
"hatred?"
"If we count the accounts, the Luandu tribe thought they were extremely powerful and came to provoke the Tianxiang Kingdom."
"Being beaten to pieces was already showing mercy."
"Tianxiang has always believed in the concept of war and peace. Basically, we will never send troops to attack unless it is absolutely necessary. If we fight and win, we will ask you whether you submit or not."
"If you obey, we will help you treat the wounded and return the prisoners."
"If you shout that you don't accept it, can you blame Tianxiang Country?"
Lady Qiang didn't expect that the girl in front of her knew everything about what happened back then.
She really didn't hate the Tianxiang Kingdom. After all, what happened back then was unclear. Her father thought he was invincible on the grassland, so he came to provoke the Central Plains Dynasty.
What a pity. If they had encountered the current Tianxiang Kingdom at that time, maybe things could have really been accomplished. However, they encountered the Tianxiang Kingdom with the Ding family and their previous emperor.
Compared to this, it was the Ujiyoshi clan that filled her heart with hatred.
The war with Tianxiang Kingdom was over. Her father died in the war. Tianxiang Kingdom stopped fighting when they saw that they had surrendered and even gave them food for the winter.
She is from the grassland tribe, the Luandu people. It is an honor to die for the tribe. There is nothing to say if she loses the bet.
Next, the Ujiyoshi clan was the reason for the extinction of the tribe.
But the girl's words were a bit too domineering. Indeed, their civilization has been passed down for such a long time and they have such a vast land.
She spoke wildly, but it was also true.
Of course Su Wan said this on purpose. She was not that arrogant in her heart, but she had to put on a show now.
Seeing that the attitude of the beautiful lady Qiang softened, Su Wan smiled and said, "If we do the math, we will know whether to cooperate with the Shiyi clan or seek protection from the Tianxiang Kingdom. It should be very clear."
Without waiting for Lady Qiang to say anything more, Su Wan stopped her and continued, "Tianxiang Country is in some trouble now, but do you think it can't recover?"
"Besides, do you think you can kill the prince's faction with a wrongful case?"
"When he regains power, I'm afraid your Luandu clan will also be on the revenge list, at least the same treatment as the Shiyi clan."
"Are you sure you dare to bet that he will lose this time and never recover? You know the character of those two princes. Today's incident is just to cause some trouble for the crown prince. How can it affect the outcome?"
"In this case, you might as well change your mindset early. Tianxiang Country will be your backer and protect you and your people. At least you will have no worries about food and clothing in this winter."
Su Wan made her words very clear.
Even if you insist on offending the prince now, it will only make him feel uncomfortable temporarily. With his ability and power, can't he make a comeback?
Are the eldest prince and the second prince his rivals?
You must know that if you take advantage of the situation and continue to oppose the prince, you will have a stronger opponent.
Now you have the opportunity to turn this opponent into an ally, what will you choose?
It must be said that this made the beautiful lady stare at Su Wan closely and asked the original question again: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether you can do as I say." Su Wan said, "If you do, the prince will definitely remember this help."
"With the help of Tianxiang Nation, you Luandu Clan will no longer be threatened after you leave the Shiyi Clan."
"Supporting you is not a difficult task for Tianxiang Country now, let alone in the future."
"Not only can we get revenge, but we can also restore the Luandu tribe. What do you think?"
"But how can I trust you?"
Beautiful Qiang was already moved, and her voice was trembling slightly as she spoke.
Before an incense stick of time had passed, she still thought it was a fantasy for the little girl to ask her if she wanted revenge.
But she still couldn't help but ask, what if it was possible, what if it was really like what this woman said.
Recover the Luandu tribe, rescue the tribesmen, and take revenge on the Shiyi tribe.
Thinking about the suffering she had endured and the suffering her fellow tribesmen had endured in the Shigi clan, the word "revenge" had infinite appeal to the beautiful lady Qiang.
"You've said so much, how can I believe you?"
Su Wan took out two seals from her waist pouch, selected one of them, and stamped the paper at hand.
"Is this enough?"
Su Wan did not give the paper with the seal to Miss Qiang, but just let her look at it in the candlelight.
I saw the beautiful lady Qiang's eyes widened slightly.
Empty chapter.
She knew this empty chapter and had even seen the empty chapter depicted by others.
Is it the person that everyone in the government and the public is speculating about, Kong Zhang Sheren? !
Since Miss Qiang is a spy, she naturally has to collect a lot of information. There are too many statements about this Kong Zhang Sheren.
All his plans are admirable.
Even saints say a few words about it.
I originally thought he was some great master who had never appeared in the world.
This is actually a young girl. If I remember correctly, she is a palace maid from the Imperial Food Bureau?
Kong Zhang Sheren turned out to be her?
However, when she took out the seal, Miss Qiang believed it about 80%.
When the two of them were chatting just now, the woman was calm and measured. Her words were meaningful, and she used both kindness and force, which was both intimidating and beneficial.
How old is she?
When Su Wan saw her expression, she knew that she believed it, so she gently burned the paper with her seal on it, leaving no trace.
"Do you think I can make this promise?"
Of course.
If it was Sheren Kongzhang, her words would definitely be useful. The prince trusted her so much, how could he not listen to her?
"So, you want me to turn against you and bite Concubine Jiang back?" Lady Qiang said slowly.
"It's not just them who came. Didn't the Second Prince and Concubine Chu contact you?"
Of course this is true.
On the surface, Lady Qiang is on good terms with Imperial Concubine Jiang and at odds with Concubine Chu, but Concubine Chu has the Second Prince on her side, who is adaptable.
So naturally there is communication.
As the saint's favorite concubine, she has always been treated preferentially.
But with just one word from Kong Zhang Sheren, she had to turn against both sides and could only rely on the prince and herself from now on?
That's a bit too cruel.
If you really do this, there will be no way out.
Su Wan knew she was hesitant, and emphasized: "Following them will at most disrupt the government of Tianxiang State, giving the Shiyi Clan an opportunity to rebel, and the Shiyi Clan will even become more powerful."
"But if you follow the prince, you may have a chance to get revenge."
"If all the tribe members are gone, what's the point of your plan?"
Lady Qiang gritted her teeth and saw Su Wan playing with the sedum in her hand. She said directly, "Mr. Kong Zhang, if you lie to me, I will take you with me even if I die."
It should have been a creepy sentence, but Su Wan shrugged and said, "Come on."
A quarter of an hour later, the two had finished their discussion. It doesn't take much effort to talk to a smart person.
But Su Wan still had one last doubt, and asked before leaving: "The Shiyi tribe sent you here, aren't they afraid that you will stay in Tianxiang Kingdom? If you gain a foothold in Tianxiang Kingdom, it won't be difficult to take the people of the Luandu tribe in the name of Tianxiang Kingdom. There are less than 500 people."
It is even easier for a suzerain state to ask a vassal state for a few hundred slaves than to ask for a few hundred cattle and sheep.
A trace of hatred flashed across the face of the beautiful lady Qiang: "I have a child, the father is unknown, she is the only child in my life. I will definitely protect her well."
Although this sentence is short, its meaning is clear.
Father unknown, only child.
The suffering endured by Lady Qiang has been revealed in these two sentences.
If a mother doesn't know who the father of her child is, it means that she doesn't want to do it and it's not even something she can control.
After all, as a slave, she could not decide her own fate.
The only child means that she is no longer able to have children.
No wonder the Shiyi clan trusted her to come to Tianxiang Kingdom, holding her child in their hands, but they also knew that she was infertile, so she would definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Tianxiang Kingdom.
Only then did he agree to let Miss Qiang come over.
No wonder Lady Qiang is willing to cooperate. She probably hates the Shigi clan more than anyone else.
Su Wan nodded and said seriously: "A letter will be sent to the northwest border tomorrow to help you secretly look after the child."
Since Su Wan could make this promise, she naturally knew that it could be achieved.
She had read many secret letters from the Ding family army in the northwest in Chonghua Palace and knew that this was not a difficult matter.
Lady Qiang was unusually fragile, but she calmed herself down the next moment. Her willingness to say this was a sign of her surrender.
She didn't want her people or her daughter to experience her past.
Kong Zhang Sheren was right. If she had to choose a backer, she had to choose a bigger backer.
Under the current circumstances, even if she helps the eldest prince or the second prince to ascend the throne, these two cannot help the Luandu clan. After knowing that she is a member of the Luandu clan, they will only call for her to be killed.
The temptation given by Kong Zhang Sheren was so great that she had to give it a try.
Coming out of the room, the gentle smile on Lady Qiang's face reappeared, and she said with a smile: "These medicinal dishes will not conflict with each other, so make them as you like."
Su Wan nodded, and saw the beautiful lady Qiang slowly leave.
Sister Cuizhu and Aunt Yonglan looked at Su Wan and saw her smile: "It seems that the dinner is almost ready. We won't be able to make it in time to deliver it."
"Why not have a bowl of Baimai Anshen Soup first to calm you down? We can prepare other food tomorrow when we have more time."
Baimai Anshen Soup.
Cuizhu and Yonglan couldn't help laughing and nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two of them obviously understood what he meant.
Chef Zhang Yu, who came over, was also slightly stunned. He saw that Su Wan had already taken people to the kitchen stove and had obviously started cooking.
This meal must be prepared, otherwise they will definitely be suspected if they come to the inner palace.
Baimai Anshen Soup is made with wheat, lily, lotus seed flesh, Polygonum multiflorum vine, licorice and red dates.
With so many ingredients, most of them have the effect of clearing the mind and calming the nerves.
Wash these ingredients and soak them in cold water to rinse off all the sand and dirt. Then put them in a pot, add water, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer.
It will take about two quarters of an hour.
At this time, the imperial kitchen had already served dinner.
After all, I had just wasted too much time in the small hall. Fortunately, I was not forced to cook, but was served soup. This soup can be used at any time, regardless of being for dinner.
After boiling for 25 minutes or half an hour, pour the remaining water into a heat-insulating tin kettle.
Continue to add water to the ingredients in the pot and boil.
Boil the juices from both sides and mix them together to make the Baimai Anshen Soup.
They make the soup carefully.
The saint has almost finished eating.
The beautiful lady Qiang, who was serving the Saint, had just picked up a dish when the Saint waved his hand and said, "No, what kind of dishes are these? I don't have any appetite at all."
The beautiful lady Qiang smiled and advised: "For your health, at least eat more."
This smile was a little different from usual, and seemed a little timid.
His health had been weak for a long time, and he was often fed medicine by Lady Qiang, so he was already very tired and had no appetite.
However, the Saint vaguely remembered that the beautiful lady Qian Qiang was called away in the evening, saying that the cook from the Imperial Food Department was coming to cook for him, so he asked casually, "Which dish was made by the palace maid from the Imperial Food Department?"
"They are thoughtful enough to come here specifically to cook."
Lady Qiang took a quick look and was just trying to find an explanation when she heard the eunuch serving dishes at the door whisper, "The people from the Imperial Food Department arrived too late and had no time to cook. They only spent their time making this Hundred Wheat Soup to Calm the Mind."
"They say it's good for your health if you use it after meals or before bed."
The beautiful tin pot is filled with a sweet-smelling soothing soup that seems to smell different from other soothing soups.
The tin kettle was a vessel that the saint had always liked. The name of the Hundred Wheat Anshen Soup sounded like it was made for the dragon's body, so the saint praised it approvingly and took a sip.
This decoction is not bitter and has no added sugar.
It has the original fragrance of wheat, the lightness of lotus seeds, and only the aroma of medicinal herbs, without a trace of bitterness.
Not only that, this soup also has a complex taste, layered and unforgettable.
Lady Qiang also took a sip and praised, "The Imperial Cuisine Department is indeed different. This Hundred Wheat Calming Soup tastes really good. I feel less anxious now."
The saint also found the taste amazing.
Originally, he just wanted to taste it, as the calming soup is best drunk before bed. But this time, he couldn't help but eat a bowl of it. Suddenly, he felt his appetite was better, and he ate more food with the help of Miss Qiang.
Yes, the Shangshi Division has generous rewards.
Xie Pei in the side hall heard someone talking about Baimai Anshen Soup and smiled slightly. The lights were dim here and no one noticed.
The official who was questioning him couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to replace him with another official. The first thing he said was, "Prince, just confess. Concubine Jiang and Concubine Qiang both said that you framed me. Even if you don't tell me now, you will be questioned by all the ministers in the court at the court meeting tomorrow morning. It will be a great disgrace to you then."
Is this a shameful thing?
Xie Pei did not answer and continued to close his eyes and rest.
On the other side, the lights in the main hall of the Qinzheng Palace were turned off, and the beautiful lady Qiang was waiting for the saint to return to the Qianqing Palace for settlement.
The Baimai Anshen Soup was indeed effective, making the saint feel sleepy early.
But at dusk, they heard a noise outside, which woke up the sleeping saint.
After finally getting a good night's sleep, the Saint held Xie Pei in a side hall to listen to a lecture. Suddenly he was woken up and immediately got angry.
The eunuch who rushed over acted as if he saw nothing and was obviously more frightened, as if what was happening outside was more important.
"What happened? Did something happen to the prince?" the saint asked directly.
"No, no, it's Lady Qiang, something happened to Lady Qiang." The eunuch was obviously extremely scared, but he still said, "Something happened to Lady Qiang and the Crown Prince!"
Lady Qiang, the eldest prince?
Bad thoughts arise in the saint’s mind.
"The eldest prince tried to violate Lady Qiang, but she refused. The two of them started fighting, and Lady Qiang hit her head against a pillar, causing blood to flow."
"Empress Jiang said that this was Lady Qiang's fault and she should be beaten to death immediately!"
The saint just felt a headache.
He should be caned to death, but he asked, "When did it happen? Imperial Concubine Jiang also knows about it. Does that mean everyone in the palace knows about it?"
This caused the saint’s vision to go dark for a moment.
Here we go again!
It happens again!
Last time, the monk from Tianbei Palace had an affair with the concubine, which had already made him lose all face. Now this time, it was his son and the concubine!
The eldest prince! He is truly his good son.
The noise outside was getting closer and closer, and it actually started outside the Qianqing Palace.
When Concubine Chu rushed over and saw the embarrassed Concubine Jiang and Lady Qiang, she smiled slightly.
But what's wrong with this beautiful lady Qiang? She looks so beautiful even though she is in such a miserable state.
"Saint, Saint, please don't be angry. It must be a misunderstanding. How could the eldest prince do such a thing? And why is Miss Qiang's head broken and bleeding?"
Concubine Chu rushed forward to support the saint who came out. It turned out that she didn't dare to do so. With Concubine Jiang around, no one dared to do so.
But it’s different now.
Now look at what your good son has done.
But there was confusion in the eldest prince's eyes. It was possible before, so why not today?
It wasn't that he wanted to do anything every time, it was just that Miss Qiang was so gentle and beautiful, so it would be nice to have a cup of tea with her. If he could do something else, that would be fine, but he didn't force it.
What happened today? He drank some wine and was about to hug Lady Qiang's shoulders when he saw Lady Qiang resisting fiercely. When he came to his senses, she had already hit the pillar, even the imperial physician he had called.
When Lady Qiang slowly woke up, her expression was pitiful, and she said, "I want to see the Saint. I want to sue the eldest prince for defiling the harem!"
Can you just say this casually?
The incident at Tianbei Palace has always been a thorn in the heart of his father. The eldest prince cannot see it, but he has heard from his mother that other things are fine, but wouldn’t this incident just add fuel to the fire?
No, definitely not!
When the eldest prince kept emphasizing that he couldn't say anything, the expression of the imperial physician beside him changed.
After this commotion, most people in the harem woke up. Concubine Chu, who had always been the enemy, got the news first, and then she was very unhappy that everyone in the palace knew about it.
When Imperial Concubine Jiang arrived, the eldest prince was still trying to persuade Concubine Qiang. Concubine Qiang was crying and wailing. One wanted to go find the saint, while the other didn't want her to go. It seemed like the two were at loggerheads, and she couldn't explain herself even with ten mouths.
Imperial Concubine Jiang was so angry that she slapped the eldest prince first. When she was about to slap Concubine Qiang, she had already left quickly. She didn't look weak at all after having hit the pillar. She ran straight to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
As soon as he ran away, even those who were not well-informed knew about it.
Anyway, Su Wan, who was resting in the imperial kitchen, had heard it.
She never expected that Miss Qiang would use such a method. Although she stated the purpose, she didn't need to say much about how to do it specifically.
People like Rose Beauty don't need advice from others.
It is conceivable that this approach is actually the most appropriate, and it also takes advantage of the last incident in Tianbei Palace.
It can also reasonably explain why Bai Ri was still on the side of Concubine Jiang and the eldest prince, and why they suddenly went against each other.
In a short period of time, Beautiful Rose has done everything she can.
With this incident, it would be natural for her to turn around and accuse Concubine Jiang of instigating her to expose the prince.
I only heard the news from Zhang Yuchu that Lady Qiang cried and said, "The eldest prince said that since I work with Concubine Jiang, I am his person."
"After getting drunk, the eldest prince deliberately stripped me of my clothes."
"I called out for a long time but no one responded. They must be afraid of the power of the eldest prince and dare not speak out. That's why they want to commit suicide to save the saint and their own face."
Although Miss Qiang was crying, she had said everything she needed to say.
Not only that, every sentence is right in the saint's minefield.
Su Wan suddenly realized that Lady Qiang did not just want to turn against her, but also wanted to give an explanation to the secret Shi Yi clan.
The purpose of the Ujiyoshi clan is to disrupt the imperial court and cause the prince of Tianxiang Kingdom to fall into internal strife and internal consumption.
By doing this, she killed two birds with one stone and also satisfied the Ujiyoshi clan.
As expected, she is a woman who can survive in such an environment. She is really amazing.
There was Beauty Qiang crying and telling her story, and Concubine Chu fanning the flames. Imperial Concubine Jiang was still saying that it was Beauty Qiang who seduced the prince and it was not the eldest prince's fault.
But Concubine Chu and the censor next to her were both saying that the eldest prince forced her.
The eldest prince suddenly said: "That's not the case. I didn't force her."
"I clearly asked her to drink before, and she agreed!"
As soon as these words came out.
The whole place was silent.
Concubine Jiang's nails had been broken.
Obviously before?
And before? I can wash it off once, and before?!
You are amazing for going to drink with your father and his concubine!
Even the eunuchs around the saint couldn't help but cover their faces. They originally refused to admit it and said that it was Lady Qiang's fault, so Lady Qiang would just have to die.
What is this doing?
The saint slowly turned his head, no longer bothering to look at the eldest prince. Instead, he stared at the beautiful lady Qiang: "Tell me, isn't this the first time?"
Although Miss Qiang cried so hard, she slowly stood up and kowtowed to the saint.
Her action was too solemn, which made Concubine Jiang feel uneasy, while Concubine Chu beside her looked excited.
"Saint, it's not that I want to be so lowly. It's really because the noble concubine forced me to do so. The eldest prince is very powerful. In order to save my life in the palace, I have to do this."
"The imperial concubine also forced me to set a trap for the crown prince, saying that as long as the crown prince slandered me as a member of the Luandu clan, I would report it to the saint in advance. Only when the saint's hundred years have passed and the eldest prince ascends the throne, can I save my life."
"The imperial concubine also said that the saint is in poor health and who knows what will happen in the future. She also asked me to make a decision early, otherwise she would give me a cup of poisoned wine."
When Beautiful Qiang was crying, he finally said something that seemed not to be the point, but was actually the point.
The imperial concubine forced Lady Qiang to set up a trap to frame the prince.
So that his son can ascend the throne?
Su Wan heard Zhang Yuchu's last sentence, and Lady Qiang said, "All the evidence is in my palace, in the study, Angri. Please see clearly, I was forced!"
"The imperial concubine said that only if there is a crown prince, her son can become emperor.
At this point, there is nothing more to say.
Sister Cuizhu and Aunt Yonglan looked at Su Wan in shock. After a long pause, they said, "You only talked to her for half an hour, and she was able to do this?"
Everyone thought this was a dead end and that this matter would not end well.
The saint is partial and the evidence is sufficient. Even if the prince can escape, his reputation will not be clear and his position as crown prince will be removed.
Even if he is reinstated in the future, this matter will be brought up for discussion.
But Su Wan only had a deep conversation with Miss Qiang for half an hour, and the situation was completely reversed.
What did she say?
Su Wan naturally couldn't explain, so she could only vaguely say, "Everyone has things they want."
"Just give her what she wants most."
Xie Pei, who was still in the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace but was obviously free, was picked up by the Grand Secretary of the Dongke Palace. The two looked in the direction of the deep palace.
The Grand Secretary of the Dongke was naturally also running around, but before midnight, these ministers were not allowed to leave the palace, as they obviously didn't want to help the prince.
When they left the palace late at night at midnight, the prince and his men were searching for evidence, and then news came from the inner palace?
How come the problem was solved in just one hour?
Unless someone has been operating in secret for a long time.
Without waiting for Zang Dongxin to report the situation, Xie Pei said, "It's Su Wan."
The Grand Secretary of the Dongke was stunned for a moment, and then he sorted out one piece of information from the confusing news: the Shangshi Si was summoned by the people in the Imperial Kitchen to go from the Inner Palace to the Outer Palace to prepare meals for the emperor.
In the evening, a pot of Baimai Anshen Soup was delivered.
"How can she persuade Lady Qiang?"
"How did she persuade him in such a short time?"
The Grand Secretary of the Dongge Academy even felt that he could not keep up with the progress.
How did she do it?
Xie Pei had a vague guess, but he wasn't quite sure.
At this time, Zang Dongxin passed a note through Zhang Yuchu.
The note read: "Support Luandu, suppress Shiyi, and Tianxiangping."
Su Wan said that she wanted to support Lady Qiang's Luandu tribe, not to let her bite back at Concubine Jiang, but apart from this matter, she would also choose a tribe on the grassland that had a deep hatred with the Shiyi tribe to support.
If one company becomes the dominant power, it will attempt to seize the northwestern border.
Only if two, or even three or four families check and balance each other can Tianxiang be peaceful.
The Tianxiang Kingdom has fallen into deep trouble and needs at least five years of recuperation to ensure that the border can resist foreign enemies.
Su Wan knew this, Xie Pei knew this, and the leader of the Shiyi clan knew it even more, so he chose this time to send the spy over, and he had to act quickly.
It is clear that he is trying to take advantage of Tianxiang's illness to destroy Tianxiang's life.
Since you have no rival on the grassland, let's help one.
Whether it is the Luandu tribe or other tribes, they will always help you support an equally powerful opponent. They know the intentions of the Tianxiang Kingdom, so what.
Some people don't even have the ability to be pawns.
Xie Pei, who knew Su Wan was smart, had his eyes slightly lit up and gently stroked himself on the note.
The thoughts of the Dongge Grand Secretary next to him were rolling like huge waves. It was the first time he had this idea.
That is, it seems possible for Su Wan to be the queen.
How could such a person not be qualified to be the queen?
If it's her, then it's not impossible. But when I think about it, I feel narrow-minded. How can such a person only think about this kind of thing?
There were few stars in the winter sky. Xie Pei, along with the ministers who had rushed into the palace, walked into the Palace of Heavenly Purity with solemn expressions.
Now it’s time for someone to clean up this mess.
Su Wan and others who lived in the imperial kitchen knew that the prince and his group had entered the palace and that the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, so they knew that the matter was basically settled.
Don't think too much about what happens next.
Some people win big, while others lose miserably.
Anyway, they are definitely not the losers.
The author has something to say:
Xie Pei: My wife, come and save me, hehe
