Chapter 324: The Southern Liang Kingdom in Chaos

The Southern Liang Kingdom has changed even more dramatically in the past month.

Ever since rumors began to spread that exposed the lies of the Southern Liang royal family, more and more Southern Liang women have begun to try to leave the Southern Liang Kingdom, and the first choice is naturally the Southern Dynasty, which is the closest.

Although the Southern Liang Empress knew about the rumor, she was in trouble at the moment and had no time to care about it.

There has been no news about the people she sent to the Southern Dynasty to bring back the Ningping Princess. No matter how much she comforted herself, she had to accept the fact that those people might not be able to come back.

What made her even more unacceptable was that the Ningping Princess could not come back, which meant that the people left behind by Princess Lijing would definitely not let her go!

At this moment, she was racking her brains to think of a way to get out of this situation. Should she hide or escape? How to hide or escape? All of these required careful consideration and planning.

As for the changes in the Southern Liang Kingdom due to the rumors, how could they be compared with her life!

Originally, she had to sit on the throne!

If she was not the only daughter of the previous empress and had to accept the throne, she would never choose this path where the ending could be seen at a glance!

So much so that she started planning thirty years ago, abandoned her own daughter in order to survive, and more than ten years ago, in order to survive again, she risked being discovered by the Southern Dynasty and sent people to kill her own daughter and her husband!

Now she no longer cares about what will happen to the Southern Liang Kingdom. She didn't even go to the morning court, and fled with her confidants to the secret place where the pregnancy pills were placed.

Only here is the place that Princess Lijing's people don't know about, and then they can think of a way to get out, preferably to leave Nanliang.

As a result, Nanliang fell into chaos, and the people left by Princess Lijing searched the world for the escaped Nanliang Empress. The court officials were shocked when they heard the rumor, and didn't care whether the Nanliang women stayed or left.

The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty who were squatting outside Nanliang happened to wait for the first group of women who boldly chose to leave Nanliang, so they led them very attentively and gave them a lot of food brought from the Southern Dynasty, without any Shengnu Spring.

The Nanliang women were very grateful to take these foods and set off for their new life.

The women who stayed in Nanliang didn't know how to eat the crops irrigated by Shengnu Spring.

After all, if they thought that it might contain the flesh and blood of their ancestors, if they ate it, it would be equivalent to eating the flesh and blood of their ancestors mouthful by mouthful, which was really disgusting and unacceptable.

But if they didn't eat it, they would starve to death, so the people who stayed in Nanliang began to waver.

Coupled with the sudden disappearance of the empress, the whole Nanliang was in chaos. They were also hesitating whether to follow the footsteps of the bold woman in front and leave Nanliang?

Just when everyone was entangled, another piece of news came out.

The news said that as long as the empress of Nanliang no longer put the pregnancy pills into the spring of Shengnu Spring, the effect of the pregnancy pills in Shengnu Spring would completely disappear within a month.

As soon as the news came out, the women who had originally planned to leave the Southern Liang Kingdom chose to continue to stay in Southern Liang, and the original Southern Liang army began to spontaneously take turns guarding the spring of Shengnu Spring to prevent the empress from putting pregnancy pills into Shengnu Spring again.

In addition, the court officials who stayed behind were in chaos for a long time after the disappearance of the empress. After learning the news, they spontaneously restored order in the court.

And it was at this time that the envoys from the Southern Dynasty arrived suddenly.

The court officials of Southern Liang, who smelled something, quickly became active.

Now that the empress has disappeared inexplicably, the Southern Liang is equivalent to having no one in power. At this critical juncture, the Southern Dynasty came to visit. If you say it has nothing to do with it, the court officials would never believe it!

Although it is a bit of taking advantage of someone’s misfortune, it may also be an opportunity for the current Southern Liang. Officials who think this way belong to the activist faction.

However, there are still officials in the court who have no good face for the Southern Dynasty delegation, which obviously has ulterior motives. They belong to the stubborn faction and constantly interfere with the contact between the activists and the Southern Dynasty envoys, which also makes the task of the Southern Dynasty envoys difficult.

The mission of the Southern Dynasty envoys this time is very clear - to annex Southern Liang!

Originally, the preparations were well made, and the people of Southern Liang were directly informed of the truth. With the departure of the empress, the entire Southern Liang was at the most vulnerable moment.

It’s just a pity that those stubborn old ladies were so ignorant of the current situation that the mission was stuck.

Until the news of the Southern Dynasty's advanced waterwheel came, the stubborn faction blinked their bright eyes, stared at the Southern Dynasty envoy, and asked one question after another: "Is the Southern Dynasty's advanced waterwheel real? Is it true? Is it really that magical?"

The Southern Dynasty envoy, based on the habitual thinking that men and women should not be intimate with each other, hurriedly distanced himself from the stubborn old woman of Southern Liang, slowly straightened his clothes, and said slowly: "Yes! We in the Southern Dynasty have more than advanced waterwheels. I'm not afraid to reveal some inside information to you..."

The Southern Dynasty envoy slowly picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and then said nothing.

The Nanliang stubborn old ladies on the side were extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pot, and wanted to know the inside story as soon as possible. You know, the advanced waterwheel has already broken their cognition, and now there is other inside information. Doesn't that mean there is something more exciting than the advanced waterwheel?

But they didn't dare to go up and ask directly. Now they are at a disadvantage and are the ones who need help. They can't show as strong as before.

The positive faction looked at the stubborn faction with a tangled and eager look on their faces, but they were happy in their hearts.

Little guys, I looked down on them before, saying that they were like lackeys, hugging the thighs whenever they caught them, and they didn't act like a great country at all!

Let's not talk about the comparison between our Southern Liang and the Southern Dynasty. It's just a small country. Where do these stubborn people get the sense of superiority? Do they think they can be on par with the Southern Dynasty?

Look at the way these stubborn people are now. They are even more servile than before!

However, what makes the positive faction even happier is that now the stubborn faction will definitely not hinder the negotiations with the Southern Dynasty. Maybe after a while, they can also enjoy the benefits of this advanced waterwheel for free.

In fact, they also want to know what the inside information that the Southern Dynasty envoy said is?

So, the positive faction also looked at the Southern Dynasty envoy sincerely.

The Southern Dynasty envoy felt proud in his heart. God knows that since he came to the Southern Liang Kingdom, even the cup of tea in his hand was sent from the Southern Dynasty garrison outside the Southern Liang Kingdom, and every bite of food he ate was also sent from the garrison.

After arriving, he thought it would be very smooth to take over, but he didn't expect that the stubborn old women would guard the tiny Southern Liang like a treasure, very noble, and unwilling to negotiate at all.

Now, the relationship between the primary and the secondary has been reversed. If he doesn't take the opportunity to take advantage of Qiao, wouldn't he be sorry for the humiliation he suffered before?

Of course, he must put more bait, so that the Southern Dynasty will have more confidence in the negotiations.
