Chapter 403 In the Queen’s Palace

The news that Helian Hengxin had appointed a new general to protect the country naturally quickly reached Song Qingqi's ears.

When Song Zhuo told Song Qingqi the news, his face was full of excitement: "Father, in this case, is Helian Hengxin ready to fight us?"

Song Zhuo rubbed his hands excitedly: "I didn't expect that Helian Hengxin is still a man of integrity. I thought he was going to give up and surrender."

Song Qingqi shook his head: "Not necessarily."

"If he fails, he will probably have to pay even more."

Song Zhuo disagreed: "If it wasn't for the purpose of fighting, why would he appoint a general at this juncture?"

"My Lord, Helian Renxin has sent a letter." At this moment, Shen Xiao entered the big tent, naturally holding the letter from Helian Renxin in his hand, and handed it to Song Qingqi.

Song Zhuo suddenly realized: "Helian Hengxin is using us? Using us to remove Ren Wang from the position of acting general."

Song Qingqi nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

It seems that his son's study of military books over the years was not in vain, and he is a teachable person.

Shen Xiao also joined in: "My Lord, what should we do now?"

"Wait, wait until two days later, then start the war." Song Qingqi threw the letter sent by Helian Renxin aside. After thinking about it, he felt it was not a good idea, so he picked it up and handed it back to Shen Xiao.

"Send it to Helian Hengxin."

Song Zhuo admired his father more and more. In the past, he even thought that his father was just a warrior, but now his father is really resourceful.

Perhaps this description is not enough, now he feels that his father is more like a conspirator.

Shen Xiao turned around immediately.

The Marquis thought that instead of letting the Great Chu State step in to deal with the Yuefeng State, it would be better to let the two brothers fight among themselves.

What he had to do was to order the people around him to protect King Ren so that he would not be killed by Helian Hengxin.

This time Song Qingqi was indeed right. Two days later, before the Great Chu Kingdom sent troops, Song Qingqi received the letter of surrender from Jin Jing.

The letter of surrender expressed in detail the sincerity of Yuefeng Kingdom in seeking peace, and naturally also listed what Yuefeng Kingdom was willing to pay as tribute every year.

Song Qingqi read it carefully, closed it, and handed it to Shen Xiao: "Hurry up and send it to the palace, and wait for your majesty's decision."

As for the affairs of Yuefeng Kingdom, it is their own business.

Therefore, the memorial that the Great Chu Emperor opened naturally contained the news that Yuefeng Kingdom was going to surrender. The Great Chu Emperor smiled and called the newly appointed Minister of Rites to his study.

Although he is a new appointee, Jiang Song has actually been in office for several months.

After Jiang Song took the memorial from the Great Chu Emperor, he bowed to him and continued, "Your Majesty, everything listed in the letter of surrender from Yuefeng State is in compliance with the rules."

The Great Chu Emperor nodded and said, "In that case, let's do it! Send a reply to Marquis Dingguo, saying that we accept Yuefeng's surrender."

At this point, the Great Chu Emperor paused, pointed to the memorial in Jiang Song's hand, and said, "Forget about the princess who is to be married off."

"Don't they know what kind of people they are?"

Previously, Helian Zhuli had already annoyed the Emperor of Great Chu.

If he didn't want to send her back to Helian Hengxin to cause trouble for him, he would have definitely executed Helian Zhuli.

However, the Helian Renxin brother and sister are also good. Although they had smooth sailing and were brought up in pampering in the past, no one would have thought that they would create such a huge wave in Yuefeng country with just the two of them.

It also made Helian Hengxin alienate He Bakui, who had supported him for many years.

If he had such awareness in the past, he would not have handed the throne to someone else.

After dealing with these matters, it was already close to the evening hour. The Great Chu Emperor said to Meng Quande in front of him, "Go to Rongle Palace and tell the Queen Mother that I will go to have dinner with her in the evening."

On Song Qingyan's side, after hurriedly returning to Qingyun Palace from Rongle Palace, she anxiously waited for Meiying's arrival.

Just now, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Since Qionghua said that the carpet was poisonous, it meant that the Queen had poisoned the Queen Mother.

Then, is the poisoning of the prince also related to the queen?

"Mother." Lu Xingwan looked at Song Qingyan's anxious expression, moved to her side, and comforted her softly.

[Don't be anxious, mother. It's only the first day since I returned to the palace. There must be a lot of things to deal with. Take your time! ]

[Anyway, the Crown Prince and the Empress were not poisoned, but the Empress was exposed, which is a good thing.]

[Mother will investigate slowly and will definitely bring the person behind the scenes to justice.]

Song Qingyan was really comforted by Lu Xingwan, and she stepped forward and patted her gently: "Be good, Wanwan."

Soon, Meiying walked in hurriedly.

Qiong Hua naturally withdrew early on with interest. Even though she knew that the queen now trusted her very much, she was not willing to pry into these palace secrets.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious.

But compared to satisfying his curiosity, Qiong Hua would rather save his life.

"Miss," after Mei Ying paid her respects, she did not bother to hug Lu Xingwan anymore. She still sat down below Song Qingyan and began to talk about what she had found out in the palace.

"I have no clue about the Crown Prince's poisoning."

"But I have been keeping an eye on the Empress for some time and have made an unexpected discovery. The young eunuch who was previously in the Crown Prince's Xingyang Palace is Eunuch Lin."

Afraid that Song Qingyan had forgotten this person, Mei Ying explained: "He was the one who had ordered the maids in Xingyang Palace to poison the prince."

"Now he has reappeared in the palace."

[Is it that amazing? ]

[I thought he was dead? Didn't they say that there was no such person in the palace? How come he appeared again? ]

[Could it be that this person is also some kind of deity who can change his shape or something like that? ]

[Could he be some big shot behind the scenes? This person has never appeared in the storybook! ]

Mei Ying saw Song Qingyan's confusion and continued, "This person is very amazing. Not only is his Kung Fu amazing, but his disguise skills are also superb."

"He was able to evade the previous search because he disguised himself and hid in the Queen's palace."

[In the Queen's Palace? Could it be that Shen Ning ordered this? ]

"In the Queen's Palace?"

Song Qingyan and Lu Xingwan, mother and daughter, spoke at the same time, although only Song Qingyan could hear what Lu Xingwan said.

Mei Ying was not affected and continued to speak: "I was able to find him because I had seen this Eunuch Lin in the Prince's Palace before, so I naturally knew what he looked like."

"Maybe he was just anxious..."

【I understand.】

[This is when I changed my appearance and forgot my previous appearance. I revealed the appearance of Eunuch Lin and was seen by Sister Meiying.]
