One of them said.
Gu Lili quickly gestured for Gu Huanhuan to be quiet, and then signaled Chunju and Xiahua behind her not to speak.
The speaker seemed oblivious to anything amiss, and continued smugly, "Such a fine item has unfortunately benefited the Crown Prince of Nanyue! Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lili's expression grew even more solemn. She knew that the Fusang Kingdom was always full of cunning schemes, and this move must have ulterior motives. It seemed that they were trying to harm Yin Jiuchen.
These scoundrels, who appear submissive on the surface, secretly employ such insidious and cunning tricks that it truly sends chills down one's spine.
"That's right. When the Nanyue Kingdom is in chaos, our people in Nanyue will instigate the Fusang soldiers there to rebel. At that time, we will surely be able to force the once high and mighty Nanyue Kingdom to lower their proud heads."
They obediently bowed down to us, willingly becoming our subjects and paying tribute, and from then on dared not show the slightest disobedience.
We must make the Kingdom of Nanyue understand who the true ruler is and who has the right to control the fate of this land and its people.
!
The person next door continued.
Gu Lili unconsciously clenched her fists.
Gu Huanhuan, Chunju, and Xiahua couldn't understand Fusang language, so they didn't quite understand Gu Lili's unusual behavior.
They all held their breath and remained silent, just like Gu Lili.
After a long while, the people next door finally dispersed, and Gu Lili then led Gu Huanhuan and the others away.
After sending Gu Huanhuan back, Gu Lili, along with Chunju and Xiahua, went to the palace to see Yin Jiuchen without stopping.
He then told Yin Jiuchen what he had overheard at the teahouse recently.
Yin Jiuchen listened quietly, his face growing increasingly gloomy, a barely perceptible glint of anger flashing in his usually composed gaze.
After Gu Lili finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, gripping the corner of the table tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to crush the table.
Then, in a fit of rage, he slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table. The crisp sound of it shattering echoed in the quiet room like a thunderclap, making everyone present tremble.
These despicable people are incredibly audacious! The Southern Yue Kingdom has always valued peace and does not wish to kill innocent people indiscriminately, yet they think we are easy to bully. This is truly outrageous!
Yin Jiuchen's voice was filled with anger and authority, his aura like a volcano about to erupt, sending chills down one's spine.
As Gu Lili slowly walked over, her mind was already crystal clear, and she had long anticipated a foolproof plan to deal with the current situation.
She lowered her head slightly, a resolute glint in her eyes, and said softly, "Your Highness, this is a sterilization pill."
Her slender, fair fingers gripped the white porcelain bottle tightly, as if holding a vital treasure. She then respectfully raised it to eye level and carefully presented it to Yin Jiuchen.
Yin Jiuchen, who was still furious, turned pale instantly upon hearing Gu Lili mention the mysterious medicine. His eyes widened as if he had been greatly frightened.
His mind was racing. Could it be that Gu Lili offered him this medicine because he was going to marry someone else and break his promise?
Looking at Yin Jiuchen's expression, Gu Lili knew that he had misunderstood her.
Gu Lili paused, a sly glint in her eyes, and explained, "The power of this sterilization pill is truly astonishing. It can completely render a man infertile, so that in the long run, no new children will be born in Fusang."
Without the injection of fresh blood, their national fortune will surely decline slowly, like a flower about to wither.
At that time, we can rest easy and no longer need to worry about the Fusang Kingdom posing a threat to our Nanyue Kingdom.
As she spoke, she gently shook the white porcelain bottle in her hand, as if it contained not just ordinary elixirs, but the future and peace of the entire Nanyue Kingdom.
Gu Lili knew very well that the Japanese were inherently evil!
She was utterly wicked. She didn't know if the future Japan was related to the present Japan, but their languages were the same.
However, it is better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go free. If I were to completely exterminate the Japanese people today, would there be no tragedy of 300,000 people in the future?
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiuchen's eyes lit up.
This can be considered a win-win situation, as it allows the Fusang Kingdom to gradually decline without losing a single soldier.
"Is this medicine really that miraculous?" Yin Jiuchen asked with some doubt.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Gu Lili. Fusang was neither a large nor a small country. Could a few pills really destroy their water source?
In Yin Jiuchen's mind, it was something he had never heard of or seen before.
Gu Lili nodded and answered firmly, "Yes!"
Don't underestimate this small bottle of medicine; it cost Gu Lili a full 30,000 taels of silver to buy.
They almost spent all of Gu Lili's savings.
The pills inside will continue to exert their effects as long as they are placed near a water source, thus maintaining their medicinal efficacy indefinitely, which is why they are so expensive.
Seeing Gu Lili's serious and determined expression, Yin Jiuchen nodded.
Gu Lili has always been cautious in her actions. If this pill hadn't truly been effective, she wouldn't have taken it out so easily.
Yin Jiuchen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Then when we go to pick up the hostages from Fusang, I will send people to throw them into various water sources."
As he spoke, he carefully placed the pills in his pocket, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
After the matter was concluded, Gu Lili took her leave.
Now that Yin Jiuchen is about to marry the Crown Princess, she naturally doesn't want to stay any longer, lest she cause misunderstandings.
In the days that followed, Gu Lili continued as usual, spending her time either visiting the Ministry of Rites or accompanying Gu Huanhuan around the capital.
Then wait to attend Yin Jiuchen's wedding.
However, before Yin Jiuchen could get married, he received the emperor's decree.
That day, Gu Lili had just gotten up and eaten breakfast, and before she could go to the Ministry of Rites, Eunuch Zhang, who was by the Emperor's side, came to deliver an imperial decree.
Zhang Gonggong walked steadily into the courtyard, followed by several eunuchs carrying a roll of yellow silk and some trays covered with red cloth.
He bowed slightly and said, "Please, Princess Yongning, receive the imperial decree."
Gu Lili was startled. She quickly straightened her clothes, stepped forward, knelt down, and listened attentively.
Then, Eunuch Zhang loudly proclaimed: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Princess Yongning is exceptionally intelligent, knowledgeable, virtuous, and talented; she is hereby granted the title of Princess Yongning, and is bestowed with a thousand acres of fertile land, two thousand taels of gold, and a jade ruyi..."
After reading the imperial decree, Eunuch Zhang handed the silk to Gu Lili, his eyes full of smiles.
"Princess Yongning, congratulations!"
