Chapter 265: That's it? Accept it now?



Xiao Lingdang's words were really too unbelievable. Neither Jiang Xinian nor Su Daocheng had ever heard of them before.

The two didn't say anything, but just looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Xiao Lingling again.

It's just magical. People should instinctively doubt such words, but it seems that they actually believe it.

But if they believed it, they should have been instinctively afraid, resisted, questioned, or wary, but they still couldn't muster any bad thoughts towards Xiao Lingling.

It’s so magical, so incredible.

They clearly noticed it themselves, but they still did not change their attitude and thoughts towards Xiao Lingling.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Xiao Lingling felt inexplicably guilty.

She had read so many stories made up in storybooks, so they shouldn't be fake the moment they sounded. After all, she felt that the truth would be more fake.

Could it be that she was going to tell them that she was originally a fish?

No, no, no, don't even think about it!

Just when she was hesitating whether to fly down to prove that what she said was true, Jiang Xinian and Su Daocheng suddenly sat back down.

????

Xiao Lingling's head was full of questions.

That’s it?

Did you accept it? Or did you think she was joking?

After a moment, Su Daocheng asked, "Does this mean that the drought of the past three years was caused by General Chu being wrongly accused?"

Little Bell nodded subconsciously.

Su Daocheng continued, "What if I find a way to clear his name? Will the drought end?"

Little Bell's eyes lit up, "Of course, the drought was originally supposed to last until next spring. But if we can redress the injustice, it can be brought forward."

In the current situation, even if it's just one day earlier, it can save many lives."

Su Daocheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. I will arrange it as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xinian asked, "Besides General Chu, there's also Meng Yun! That child was murdered. Will it worsen the drought? Do we need to avenge her as well?"

Xiao Lingling was stunned for a moment, but finally shook her head. "That won't happen. But those bad guys who killed people like General Chu will suffer the consequences of their karma. It's just a matter of time."

Jiang Xinian felt a little regretful. He had originally thought that he could avenge Chu Mengyun at once.

Hearing this answer, Su Daocheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to avenge Chu Mengyun, but he also admires and cherishes such a heroine.

However, if she were to take revenge, more and more people would be involved. Qingyang is currently in turmoil both at home and abroad, so it is not a good time to take revenge on her.

Xiao Lingling revealed these secrets, firstly, to overturn the verdict on General Chu. A person like that shouldn't have such an ending.

Secondly, she also hopes that the drought can end soon, which is more practical than donating any amount of food.

Thirdly, she also wanted to give the emperor a reminder.

She had read many stories in storybooks in the past about emperors or royal family members who killed loyal and courageous officials in order to eliminate dissidents and for their own selfish interests.

This kind of thing happened once, and it was enough. She didn't want such a thing to happen to a second person, nor did she want the people to be affected by such a severe natural disaster again.

Now, her goal has been achieved. With the bait arranged by the emperor, she and Jiang Xinian did not stay long, but went to the harem to find Su Jingsheng.

Now that they have the decree, it is time to discuss how the banquet should be held.

The atmosphere in Fengqi Palace was noticeably more relaxed than before. Even the palace maids and eunuchs seemed to be full of energy, walking with a breeze.

Although the queen had just woken up, she had actually recovered a lot thanks to Jiang Xinian's daily acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Now, she can get up every day and walk around in the yard. Although her strength is not as good as before, it is much better than lying down and unable to move.

After hearing the palace maid's report and knowing that Xiao Lingling had arrived, the queen immediately asked someone to go to the small kitchen and bring over several plates of snacks.

"Hey, dear, you're here! You haven't come to see me for several days. Come on, try these snacks and see if you like them. I always have them prepared in the kitchen every day!"

The queen led little Lingling to the beauty bed, and she held little Lingling in her arms and sat beside her, being very intimate.

Little Bell was also very happy to see the Queen, "Mother, your complexion has improved a lot. You look so beautiful."

Pei Huan laughed happily, lowering his head to touch her forehead, "My baby is really good at talking. This little mouth is so sweet."

The mother and daughter laughed so hard that Su Jingsheng felt a toothache.

He has been staying by his mother's side almost every day recently, but he has never seen her praise him like this. It makes him feel sad when he thinks about it.

But when he thought that his mother was praising his junior sister, he felt relieved.

The reason is simple: the little junior sister is so lovable that even he can't help but love her more, so he has no objection if the queen mother gives more to the little junior sister.

He was just a little curious and tugged at Jiang Xinian's sleeve, "Master, didn't you come here this morning? What's going on?"

Seeing that they were having fun, Jiang Xinian started talking about business with Su Jingsheng.

"I'm fine, it's you, my little junior sister, who figured it out!"

Su Jingsheng was curious, "Oh? What's the matter? Master, tell me about it."

Jiang Xinian sighed and told him everything about the banquet that had just been discussed with the emperor.

Su Jingsheng immediately looked embarrassed after he finished speaking, "Ah? Do it in my house?"

He wiped his face and continued, "I, it's not that I don't want to, but Master, you know, I lived in the mountains for many years and only came down in the past two years.

Although I am the eldest prince and a legitimate prince, my prestige in the court is not very great, even less than that of my fifth younger brother.

"Leave this matter to me. Merchants may be fine, but officials probably won't buy into it."

Jiang Xinian waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. You are the most suitable person to celebrate for the Queen, besides the Emperor. And your father has added three baits in front of you. Who can refuse?"

Besides, your master also increased the stakes, so there's no mistake. As for the other princes, no matter what they think, they will definitely be there that day and make donations.

They even competed with each other for donations of money. Regardless, this fundraising for refugees has a good reputation. "

Although the queen seemed to be playing with little Bell, she was actually keeping an eye on their movements.

Hearing this, she also nodded, "Your master is right. Even just for this title, it's enough for them to bleed!"

As long as they make a move, those officials who want to curry favor with them will naturally follow suit. So there is no need to worry about not being able to raise money.

In addition, I will also send people to donate money to the harem, and then the concubines in the harem will hear the news and take action.

Anyway, since it's going to bleed, no one can escape!"
