Sultan pulled General Su into the house and told him the empress's plan and the countermeasures they had discussed.
General Su felt full of guilt as he looked at his daughter in front of him.
He was unable to help his daughter live a carefree life, and instead made his daughter worry about him.
He looked at Sudanruo, his eyes became redder and redder, and finally he couldn't hold back his tears.
"Daddy is useless! I never thought His Majesty would actually listen to the slander and be so cruel to my Su family. He doesn't care about the friendship we once had."
Sudan Ruo stepped forward to comfort General Su, who sighed.
"Hey! Ruo'er, just do whatever you want! If you can use Daddy, just speak up. Daddy is old, and I just hope I won't hold you back."
The three of them discussed that after the two of them left today, General Su would pretend to be unwell and announce to the outside world that his old injury had relapsed. What happened next would depend on how Qu Cheng'an communicated with the empress.
Before Nanny Zhang came back, the few of them had adjusted their status.
At the dinner table, General Su's attitude towards Qu Cheng'an softened a lot.
When the two were about to leave, General Su said to Qu Chengan earnestly:
"Your Highness, when you are with me in the future, if I do anything wrong, please be tolerant!"
Qu Chengan quickly responded:
"Please rest assured, old general. This is what I should do."
Nanny Zhang watched from the side and felt that this hostage prince really had some abilities.
It was obvious that General Su was not very satisfied with him when he first came, but after a meal, he actually said that he would entrust his daughter to him.
After returning, Nanny Zhang told the empress today's news.
The empress was initially skeptical when she received the news from Nanny Zhang, but she felt proud the next day when she heard that General Su was bedridden.
He became more and more certain that he had not misjudged the person, and he trusted Qu Cheng'an even more.
He sent another letter to Qu Cheng'an, asking him to speed up.
After receiving the letter, Qu Cheng'an knew the time had come and arranged for Wen Xiang to find a corpse of similar size and age to General Su.
He also paid a large sum of money to hire a master of disguise to transform the corpse into the appearance of General Su.
Unless you reach out and touch the corpse's face, you can't see it at all.
The corpse will easily develop a smell after a long time, so Qu Cheng'an asked Su Danruo to go to the general's mansion.
He entered through the side door, avoiding everyone and went into General Su's bedroom. He talked with Su Danruo and together they replaced General Su.
Qu Cheng'an took the real General Su out through the side door, and a carriage was arranged not far away waiting for General Su.
General Su rode a carriage all the way to Ninglan City, where Qu Cheng'an's men were waiting to pick him up.
After General Su left, Sudan Ruoze began to cry in front of the fake General Su's body.
All of a sudden, the entire general's mansion knew the news of General Su's death.
Nanny Zhang, who was outside the door, knew it immediately.
After hearing Sudan Ruo's crying, Sang'er rushed into the room and saw General Su's pale face and still chest.
In the general's mansion, only Sudanruo and General Su knew about this matter. Sudanruo was worried that the news would leak out, so no one else knew about it.
When Sudan saw Sang'er crying so sadly, he was afraid that Nanny Zhang would see that his emotions were not as sad as a little girl, so he quickly raised his voice and cried heart-wrenchingly.
Everyone believed the news of General Su's death.
Sultan was worried that someone might discover something, so he stayed by the body without leaving.
Outsiders thought that Sudan could not accept the news of General Su's death.
While everyone was busy, Nanny Zhang went into the palace to report to the empress.
In the palace.
The Empress is questioning Aunt Zhang.
"Did you see the old man get into the coffin with your own eyes?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I personally witnessed the whole process of General Su being carried out of his room, his remains being arranged, and then being placed in the coffin. I could not have made any mistakes!
The Sultan cried so miserably that he almost fainted several times!"
The empress was relieved. It seemed that Qu Cheng'an was really efficient.
Who knows, he might become a good helper in the future!
If I could take Qu Cheng'an into my harem...
The empress thought her idea was very good. She would not waste her time and energy to send such a capable and ambitious person to the throne of the enemy country.
What she said at the beginning was just to make him work for her.
If he really ascends the throne of Jingyong Kingdom, Fengyang Kingdom will have a strong rival.
The Empress waved her hand to signal Aunt Zhang to go back and continue monitoring, and said:
"After I have dealt with Sultan Ruo, you can leave the palace and live out your days in peace."
Aunt Zhang's face lit up with joy, and she immediately expressed her loyalty to the Empress.
"I will sacrifice my life for your majesty, even to the bitter end!"
After Aunt Zhang left, the Empress called Qu Cheng'an over again.
"You have done such a big thing, so the Sultan is not suspicious of you, right?"
Qu Chengan said quickly:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I used a colorless and odorless poison, and it will be automatically absorbed after entering the human body. Even a doctor with excellent medical skills cannot detect it.
Moreover, the effects of this drug will not occur immediately, but will cause the person who takes it to die suddenly after one or two days."
Qu Chengan suddenly felt that something was wrong with the empress's expression, so he quickly changed the subject.
"However, this medicine was also obtained by chance on Medicine Saint Island. The person who claimed to be the disciple of the Medicine Saint said that he had mixed this medicine himself. There is only one bottle of this medicine in the world, and there is no antidote."
The Empress's expression returned to normal when she heard that there was only one bottle of medicine. Then she pretended to feel sorry and said:
"It would be great if I could get a few more bottles. I also want to experience this magical poison."
As he spoke, he did not forget to observe Qu Cheng'an's expression.
Qu Cheng'an knew that the empress was testing whether what he had just said about there being only one bottle was true or false.
As superiors, if something appears around them that they have never seen or cannot control, they will inevitably worry that it will hurt them.
He also said with regret:
“If I could get more of this, I would like to present it to Your Majesty, but there is only this one bottle, and I originally wanted to keep it for my own self-defense.
If the Sultan had not really been watching General Su too closely, I would not have wanted to take this out."
The empress finally felt relieved.
He praised Qu Cheng'an before letting him go.
Qu Cheng'an came to General Su's house, which was already hung with white silk. Su Danruo was sobbing quietly in General Su's mourning hall.
I have to admit that Sudan’s acting skills are really good. If he hadn’t personally sent General Su to the carriage, people would have thought that General Su was really gone.
