"A mere Northern Li assassin, do you think he'd listen to you, or to me? Lord Wei, don't forget, I am now the Goddess of Northern Li."
The Goddess of Beili is seen as a god-like figure by many Beili people, and at times her words are even more effective than those of the King of Beili.
Wei Xuelin's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister glint in his eyes. "Is the Queen threatening me?"
"Lord Wei, I'm discussing cooperation with you. If this succeeds, Great Chu will become the domain of your Wei family. At that time, the throne of Great Chu will belong to your Wei family, and will have nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore. It's better to be king yourself than to assist someone else in becoming king. What do you think, Lord Wei?"
"Your Majesty, why are you so certain that Bei Li will definitely be able to conquer Da Chu?" Wei Xuelin squinted.
"Lord Wei, you don't need to answer me right now. After some time, you will understand why I have such confidence. Then you can tell me your decision." Lin Wanqing was certain that Wei Xuelin would agree.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone about this and ruin your plans?"
"Lord Wei, even now you don't believe that Bei Li could do all this. If you tell others, do you think they will believe you?"
Besides, which country in the Nine Provinces doesn't want to annex other countries and dominate the Nine Provinces? But who can actually do it?
If you tell others, they will only think that I, Bei Li, am indulging in wishful thinking. Who would take your words seriously?
Since I dare to speak so frankly and openly with Lord Wei about these things, I am naturally not afraid that Lord Wei will tell others. Lord Wei may as well give it a try.
However, Lord Wei should think carefully about how you will answer that you know all this. Are you going to just say that I, the Queen of Bei Li, told you?
Even if someone believed it, why would the Queen of Bei Li tell you such a confidential matter, Lord Wei? Lin Wanqing chuckled lightly, looking at Wei Xuelin with nonchalant indifference.
Telling him such a confidential matter would be tantamount to telling the world that he was colluding with Bei Li.
"By the way, Lord Wei, to show my sincerity, I suggest you have General Wei secretly come to my Jingqiang. I will have him vaccinated against smallpox, otherwise I cannot guarantee that he will not be infected with smallpox."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xuelin seemed to suddenly realize something, and stared wide-eyed at Lin Wanqing.
He seemed to understand what Lin Wanqing was going to do!
"You want to spread this plague to the Great Chu?!" Wei Xuelin was somewhat incredulous.
Lin Wanqing smiled, "As expected of the Wei family's smartest third young master, you reacted quickly. However, it's not 'want' but 'already,' which is why I kindly suggested it to you."
wrong!
Wei Xuelin thought of something, "I've already been vaccinated against smallpox. Aren't you afraid that I'll spread this treatment method back to Da Chu, and all your efforts will be wasted?"
Lin Wanqing glanced at Wei Xuelin and said, "Lord Wei, I didn't expect you to be a man who cares about the world. Why are you planning to rescue those border troops?"
Don't forget that while they outwardly obey General Wei's command, they are still Su's army at heart. Do you think you and General Wei can subdue them?
Wouldn't it be better to make them disappear without lifting a finger?
“Your Majesty, what is the point if everyone is dead?” Wei Xuelin said.
"Lord Wei, isn't the treatment method already in your hands? How many people die is entirely up to you, isn't it? Isn't this generous gift I'm giving you more than sincere enough?"
Wei Xuelin was shocked; only then did he understand Lin Wanqing's true intentions.
Indeed, he has mastered the treatment for the epidemic. If he returns to the Great Chu, he can use this to climb to the pinnacle of power. Moreover, if only the Wei family knows this method, they can manipulate too many things.
Seeing that Wei Xuelin stopped saying anything, Lin Wanqing knew that he was moved.
"Lord Wei, let's go back. I'm tired too."
Wei Xuelin said nothing more and took his leave.
If Lin Wanqing has already sent people to the border of Da Chu to spread smallpox, then he needs to quickly send his elder brother to Bei Li to get vaccinated against smallpox.
Although Wei Xuelin watched the imperial physician implant the seed, no one explained the reason to him, and he couldn't be sure if any unknown prescriptions or other medicines were added during the process.
The Wei family has already lost one son; they cannot afford to lose their eldest brother as well.
