When Sudan heard Qu Cheng'an say he wanted to compensate him, he quickly said:
"Your Highness, there's no need to blame yourself! If Your Highness truly wants to make amends, helping me take the throne would be the best compensation for me."
Qu Cheng'an knew that the Sultan wanted to rebel, but he didn't expect that the Sultan wanted to become emperor himself.
If the Sultan became the emperor of Fengyang, and I became the emperor of Jingyong in the future, wouldn't the two of us turn from friends into enemies?
Qu Chengan couldn't help but frowned slightly when he thought of this, but it only lasted for a moment and was not noticed by Sudan Ruo.
Qu Cheng'an responded, "Okay, I'll help you ascend to the throne."
Sudanruo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qu Cheng'an was a man of his word. Since he had promised her, he would not go back on his word.
Sultan Ruo gave Qu Cheng'an a beautiful smile.
Qu Cheng'an wondered in his heart what Sudan Ruo's attitude towards him was now. Maybe if he helped her seize the throne, she would also help him?
Wen Xiang watched the interaction between the two from the side.
After Qu Cheng'an returned to his room, Wen Xiang asked:
"Your Highness, didn't you say you were going to recruit General Su? Why does it seem like you're being recruited by General Su now?"
Wen Xiang was so angry that he crossed his arms over his chest and held the sword tightly in his arms to express his dissatisfaction.
Qu Chengan scolded Wen Xiang slightly:
"Why are you being so sarcastic? Well, tell me, if I don't follow her wishes and make her owe me a favor, how can I recruit her?"
Wen Xiang was so anxious that his face turned red and he said:
“When Your Highness first met General Su, he said he wanted to use this general for your own purposes.
Later, when she met this general, she tried to use the beauty trap again. Now the beauty trap is not enough, and she is willing to take such a big risk to win the throne for her. Is there no other way?"
Qu Chengan said angrily:
"What do you know? If she hadn't protected me in front of the Empress when we first arrived here, I would have been imprisoned by now. How could I have had the opportunity to help her rebel?"
Wen Xiang was speechless after being blocked by Qu Cheng'an. He turned around and walked out of the room in anger, standing outside the door with his back to Qu Cheng'an to guard the door.
Qu Cheng'an looked down at the candlestick on the table and thought about what Wen Xiang had just said.
If you want to recruit them, there are indeed other ways, such as promising to protect Sudan Ruo and her father's safety and bringing them both to Jingyong Kingdom.
Or advise the Sultan to find someone else to assist him in becoming emperor.
But he saw that Sultan did not want to be inferior to others and put his life in the hands of others.
If Sudan was the same kind of person as him, he would have just been trying to save his own life at first, but too many people wanted them dead.
He could understand Sudanruo's current situation very well, so he didn't want to force Sudanruo to do anything she didn't like.
Since she wants to be an emperor, he is willing to help her.
Just think of it as a mutual understanding among the same kind!
Qu Cheng'an was not aware of his own feelings at this moment. He thought he only regarded Sudan Ruo as his confidant.
The next day, Qu Cheng'an sent a message to the empress saying that the progress on his side was very smooth.
The empress was very satisfied with Qu Cheng'an's efficiency.
He immediately couldn't wait to give Qu Cheng'an the first task.
Poisoned General Su to ensure that he could never lead troops to fight again.
Qu Cheng'an told Su Danruo about the task he had received.
A trace of hatred flashed in Sudanruo's eyes.
This empress is really a piece of shit. General Su has just been released from prison not long ago, and she is so impatient to get rid of him as soon as possible.
If the Sultan asked Qu Cheng'an:
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Qu Chengan said calmly:
"There is only one way now, to survive from the brink of death."
Sudanruo pondered for a moment and guessed Qu Chengan's intention, "You mean to make my father fake his death?"
Qu Chengan glanced at Sudanruo approvingly.
"That's pretty clever!"
Sudan Ruo said proudly, "I'm not stupid! What do you think? Can you tell me in detail?"
Qu Chengan explained:
"General Su already has a lot of health problems from years of fighting, and now he's just been released from prison. I imagine his health is not as good as it used to be, right?"
Sudan thought about the day when he brought General Su home and nodded.
"The last time I went to pick him up, he could barely walk."
Qu Chengan continued:
"Given General Su's current situation, even if we find a way to keep him in the capital, there's no guarantee he won't be targeted and assassinated by other rivals.
According to my idea, we can use this opportunity to create the illusion that General Su is dead, and then secretly send General Su out of the capital."
Sudan felt that what Qu Cheng'an said made sense, but for a moment he didn't know where to best place General Su.
Qu Cheng'an suddenly thought of Ninglan City.
"I think the feng shui of Ninglan City is very suitable for General Su to recuperate."
Sultan Ruo also agreed, "Indeed, Ninglan City is a good place. It is far from the capital and now it is on the border between the two countries, so it is the safest place."
The two hit it off and planned to go to the general's residence tomorrow to discuss the specific plan with General Su.
The next day, at the general's mansion.
General Su was originally bored and dazed in the yard. When he heard the servant come to report that the young lady had returned, he immediately went out happily to greet her.
Seeing that Sudan Ruo was accompanied by a strange man with extraordinary bearing, he said cautiously:
"Ruo'er, who is this?"
Sudan Ruo hurriedly introduced him to General Su.
