Chapter 401 Yuefeng Nation Seeks Peace

Qiong Hua paused, looked at Song Qingyan, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Madam."

"It seems that this carpet doesn't quite match the furnishings in this palace!"

"Come to think of it, this carpet was sent by the Queen." The Queen Mother still maintained her smile and praised the Queen. "She said she found it in the storehouse. I like it very much."

"It's just that this carpet is really inappropriate. It tripped the Eighth Princess a few days ago. Let's just remove it."

After a few more words were spoken, Song Qingyan brought Qiong Hua out of Rongle Palace.

As soon as they left the area of ​​​​Rongle Palace, Song Qingyan asked: "Qiong Hua, what happened to the carpet just now?"

Lu Xingwan also quickly turned around and looked at Sister Qionghua, waiting for her to speak.

"Humph!" Qiong Hua sneered and said, "This queen is quite sinister."

"The carpet was soaked in a certain medicine. The smell is very light. If you are not familiar with this medicine, you will definitely not be able to recognize it."

"To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this medicine, but it conflicts with one of the herbs in the pills I prepared for the Queen Mother. If this continues for a long time, the Queen Mother will become weak and..."

Having said this, Qiong Hua paused and didn't say the rest.

Then he said, "To be honest, it's fortunate that the Empress Dowager has recovered recently and doesn't need to take medicine anymore."

"If I hadn't stopped taking the medicine, I would have been affected by it by now."

[I said the queen had no good intentions, and it turned out to be true.]

[Mother, why didn’t I see Sister Meiying when I came back? Where did she go? ]

[Could it be that he went to investigate the Queen? ]

"How could this happen?" Jin Xin covered her mouth in surprise and spoke in a very low voice, "No matter how brazen she is, she can still... "

Jinxin didn't know what to say for a moment.

Previously, the queen attacked the princess in order to win favor, but now she is plotting to murder the queen mother, why?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Song Qingyan's mind, and her steps became faster: "Jinxin, go find Meiying."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards Qingyun Palace.

As for the Great Chu Emperor, after seeing off Lu Xinghui, he stood up, stretched his waist, and spoke to Meng Quande who had hurried back: "What else has happened in the palace during this period of time?"

Meng Quande began to think carefully: "There is nothing special about it. Maybe the Queen Mother punished the Sixth Princess, which really shocked the Six Palaces."

If there is something, then there is something.

For example, Concubine Yao once tried to break into Qingyun Palace under the pretext of something, but was stopped.

But these are just minor matters.

Since the Emperor of Great Chu did not mention it, Meng Quande would not bring it up on his own initiative.

After all, Concubine Yao is pregnant now. If anything happens to the child because of what I said, I cannot bear the blame.

The Great Chu Emperor thought about it and prepared to go to Rongle Palace to pay his respects. However, when he raised his feet, he suddenly saw a memorial on the table. He stopped and pulled out the memorial: "When was this memorial delivered?"

Meng Quande went forward, but he was not sure, so he could only guess: "It should be yesterday?"

"After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got into trouble, the Second Prince asked Tadahira, who was by His Royal Highness's side, to come over and deliver a lot of memorials."

As he spoke, the Emperor of Great Chu had already opened the memorial.

It was sent by Marquis Dingguo.

After Song Zhuo returned to the border, he naturally explained the emperor's intention in detail to Marquis Dingguo, so Marquis Dingguo went to Yuefeng State to meet Helian Hengxin. At first, Helian Hengxin still wanted to make excuses.

But Marquis Dingguo only left one sentence: "If the emperor of Yuefeng Kingdom has this attitude, then there is no need for us to talk."

After saying this, he looked at Helian Hengxin meaningfully and walked away.

After returning to the camp, Marquis Dingguo immediately began to mobilize the army. Song Zhuo ran to Song Qingqi's tent with great interest, his eyes shining: "Father, are we going to fight with Yuefeng Kingdom?"

Since he came to the western camp, he usually just engaged in minor incidents, but now he can finally take care of the Yuefeng Kingdom.

"We should have dealt with them long ago. How dare a small country like them challenge our great Chu State?"

Shen Xiao was puzzled. According to the Marquis's calm personality, he shouldn't be so aggressive, especially since there was no order from His Majesty yet.

"My Lord..." Thinking of this, Shen Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to ask something.

But I don’t know what to ask.

Song Zhuo thought Shen Xiao was the kind of person who wanted peace, so he stepped forward and patted Shen Xiao on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Shen, don't worry, we will be fine."

Song Qingqi was interested, so he sat back and looked at Shen Xiao with a smile: "What do you think?"

Shen Xiao paused and said, "Your Majesty does not advocate war."

Song Zhuo did not wait for Song Qingqi to ask, having already learned how to answer, and asked: "Now that Helian Hengxin dares to attack our emperor, how can we allow him to shout?"

"Yier...from what I have seen, I will just go and kill him and take down Helian Hengxin."

"Do you think it's realistic?" Song Qingqi spoke up and continued to teach Song Zhuo, "If you really want to take down Yuefeng Kingdom, you have to plan ahead of time. You can't just rely on military force to attack."

"If our entire Western Camp goes to Yuefeng Country, what if it gives other countries an opportunity to take advantage of us?"

"Don't forget, Helian Renxin is still camped not far from us."

"Helian Renxin has an alliance with us." Song Zhuo explained anxiously.

But when he said this, his voice gradually became lower, and he seemed to feel a little guilty.

He also knew clearly in his heart that there was no long-term interest between these enemy countries; they were just using each other.

Seeing that Song Zhuo seemed to have understood, Song Qingqi continued: "We can indeed wipe out Yuefeng Kingdom, but now is not the best time."

"After the severe drought last year, Yuefeng was also affected. In addition, after Helian Hengxin usurped the throne, he did not implement any policies to benefit the people. Therefore, Yuefeng is now in a period of decline in people's livelihood. If we take action at this time, wouldn't we be causing ourselves trouble for nothing?"

"Secondly, if we want to destroy Yuefeng Kingdom just because His Majesty was assassinated, we are not right."

Hearing this, Song Zhuo already knew what his father meant and sat back reluctantly: "Then why did father mobilize troops?"

Shen Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up at this time: "My Lord, are you thinking of putting some pressure on Yuefeng Kingdom so that they will take the initiative to make concessions?"

Song Qingqi nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

My son still has a lot to learn!

"Since Helian Hengxin doesn't want to make peace, I will force him to do so."

Having said this, Song Qingqi stood up and looked outside the tent: "After two days, if he doesn't make any move, we will take down one of their cities first."
