Chapter 298 The Turmoil in the Capital



Song Jinxiu didn't know that she was already a national treasure among all the court officials.

When she heard about the marriage alliance, she was deeply moved. How incompetent must this country be to exchange peace for the happiness of a woman?

Besides, the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang is already over ten years old. I heard that he already has a concubine, two concubines, sons and daughters, and a group of wives and concubines. How can he have the nerve to covet me?

Since everyone disagreed, the peace talks came to a standstill.

Although the troops on the border are still well-armored, they are awaiting your orders. But basically the war had stopped, so the people in Southern Xinjiang were not in a hurry and just stayed in Honglu Temple.

Ever since the singing contest began, all the major government offices in the capital have been in a state of excitement and commotion for several days.

"You don't know, this song is quite interesting. After I sang it twice, the depression I had been holding back suddenly came out. Now I feel refreshed and comfortable."

"Me too. I've been working a lot more efficiently lately. When we have a day off, let's go find an empty spot and yell at him a few times."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Song Jinxiu's eyes turned, and then,

The first high-end club in Cangwu was replanned, with a new karaoke room, monthly holidays, and a new entertainment activity: folk singing.

For the sake of entertainment, Song Jinxiu specially selected some good-looking male and female singers to sing and dance with the guests.

As soon as the event started, business became popular again and entered a new high.

The booming business made Prince Yin very envious, but he did not join in because his father was ill and he had to take care of him by his bedside.

So the more prosperous the business is, the uglier his face becomes.

Princess Kang Le is really good at making money. Just based on this point, even if she has no family support, he will marry her.

This day. He plucked up the courage to go to his father to talk about it, but was stopped outside the door.

"Sir, the prince is a guest. Please come back later."

Prince Yin was very depressed and sat on the rockery in the yard waiting.

This is the only way to get from the father's house. He will know in advance when the guests leave, and then go to the father to discuss the marriage.

If he could marry Princess Kangle, he would never have to worry about money again.

The more I thought about the girl's graceful dance and moving singing, the more anxious and itchy I became.

Who is it? I'm here to see my father at this time, and it's almost dark. Do you think he should stay for dinner?

However, the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, but the man showed no sign of leaving.

Prince Yin couldn't help but secretly go behind his father's house to eavesdrop.

A woman's voice could be heard faintly in the room, and Prince Yin became even more depressed. He was anxious to marry a wife, but he didn't expect that his father had a beautiful mistress hidden in his house and went straight to the bridal chamber.

Suddenly, he heard his father's voice: "Saint, have you taken note? These people must be used by me. As for Princess Kangle, I am not interested."

Saint?

Could it be the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang?

Prince Yin was shocked, because the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang was the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang. My father is actually having an affair with the Emperor Emeritus of Southern Xinjiang. Is this collusion with foreign enemies?

They also seemed to be talking about Princess Kangle. He wanted to hear it again, but at this moment he suddenly heard the sound of guards changing shifts.

The guards changed shifts, and the guard who was off duty would patrol the mansion as usual before going off to rest. If he stayed any longer, he would be discovered.

Prince Yin left in depression, but his head was still thinking about the relationship between his father and the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang.

Could it be that the Saint Lady of Southern Xinjiang had another purpose in the peace talks with Cangwu?

The club was packed with people. When people from southern Xinjiang heard that Cangwu was also a place for folk songs, they came in to check it out. They saw that there were actually several camps here in the form of a folk song competition, and the winners could get rewards.

"Oh, the people in Cangwu are better at having fun than those in Southern Xinjiang. It's a pity that the weather here is too dry. It hasn't rained for more than half a month since I came here. I don't know how they survive."

"Yeah, it rains every day in our place, we're used to it, but it didn't rain today and I feel itchy all over."

"Your Highness, when can we sign the contract and go back?"

"No rush. Queen Mother Cangwu's birthday will be in half a month. The Saint said that all negotiations should wait until after the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival."

"Then let's go around the capital of Cangwu. I heard there's a kind of shadow play here, which is very interesting. We might as well go and have a look."

For a time, people in Southern Xinjiang kept going to major restaurants, brothels, clubs and other entertainment venues.

These people did not have the anxiety of a defeated country at all, but seemed to be here for sightseeing.

At first, the people of Cangwu were afraid of the poison in Southern Xinjiang, fearing that they would be poisoned by it if they were not careful, so they kept their distance from people from Southern Xinjiang.

After a while, I found that the people in southern Xinjiang were well-behaved and generous, and I never heard of anyone being bewitched or anything like that.

Even some petty thieves who usually like to steal and cheat seem to know that there are envoys from southern Xinjiang in the capital, and they have been surprisingly well-behaved recently.

For a time, the bustling capital city was unprecedentedly peaceful.

Song Jinxiu didn't dare to take it lightly.

Others don’t know that the method used by the Saint of Southern Xinjiang to poison people is hard to guard against.

After the singing duet that day, Song Jinxiu secretly investigated several officials who had contact with the Saint of Southern Xinjiang and found that 5 officials had been tricked.

One was an old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy, one was a censor, and the other was a fifth-rank internal guard military officer.

Song Jinxiu checked and found that although this person was not a high-ranking official, he might be close to the emperor.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it intentional?

If it was intentional, it was the first time for the Saint Lady of Southern Xinjiang to go to Cangwu, so it was impossible for her to know the officials of Cangwu.

But if it's just a coincidence...

Song Jinxiu doesn't believe in coincidences, but she takes everything related to the emperor's safety very seriously.

I wanted Junjun to monitor them, but unfortunately the treasure-hunting rat Junjun was still asleep.

She did know a few of the brothers it had trained. They could barely understand her simple commands, but she couldn't understand their work reports.

That day, Song Jinxiu came back from the Imperial College. A big swallow flew over her hand and chirped. Song Jinxiu recognized it, it belonged to the Grand Princess's Mansion.

The swallows chirped and jumped up and down, looking very anxious.

But Song Jinxiu didn't understand bird language and couldn't understand a word of it.

Song Jinxiu could only ask tentatively: "Is the Grand Princess going to harm me? Harm my family? Do you want to harm the Emperor?"

But the brain-dead 께 Yanzi also looked at her with confusion.

It doesn't seem to be these problems.

Song Jinxiu had no choice but to say, "Just keep an eye on him first, and wait until your boss wakes up."

When she got home, she was still thinking about it. The swallow looked very anxious. What on earth could make it so anxious?

Suddenly, Song Jinxiu slapped her head. These past few days, because of the arrival of the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, she had been concerned about the safety of the Emperor, but forgot about the things related to the Grand Princess's Mansion and Su Mo.

Could it be that something happened to Su Mo?

Considering the calculations of the Grand Princess's Mansion, Princess Kangning must have already gone to the border by now, right?

I have already sent a letter to Su Mo. I know it is a trap. If he can fall into it again, huh! This man can't be kept anymore.

Although she thought so in her heart, she still couldn't help feeling a little worried. Because of this matter, she couldn't sleep at night, so she simply went into the space and got busy.
