Chapter 492 Auspicious Wedding
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
The original Chu royal palace has been rebuilt.
The capital of the Chu Kingdom was officially renamed Pingbo City.
The rebuilt palace became the city lord's mansion.
The State of Chu officially exited the stage of history and was subsequently annexed by the State of Jin.
The great battle has just ended, and everything needs to be rebuilt.
Prisoners of war and surrendered soldiers still need to be dealt with properly.
The rest is up to the officials sent by His Majesty.
Early in the morning, Gongshu Zhi was banging and knocking in Qin Shi'an's courtyard.
Qin Shi'an, with his messy hair, opened the door and looked at Gongshu Zhi with only one eye open, saying, "You'd better have something to say."
Gongshu Zhi completely ignored her and continued hammering and banging.
Mo Ziyuan walked in from outside the courtyard, carrying a small floral quilt with a very familiar pattern.
Qin Shi'an blinked. How come this pattern is used in all countries?
Mo Ziyuan looked at her and said, "Shi'an is awake. Come and see if the swing your uncle made for you is sturdy enough."
Qin Shi'an opened his eyes wide and finally saw what Gongshu Zhi was doing.
Screw in the last nail.
Gongshu Zhi, hands on his hips, said, "A simple little swing set."
Mo Ziyuan spread the small flower quilt on the swing set.
Then he took out a silk handkerchief and wiped Gongshu's sweat.
Gongshu Zhi smiled and said, "My wife, I'm not tired."
He then turned around and said, "You brat, what are you still standing there for! Come here!"
Qin Shi'an stepped into the courtyard.
Gongshu Zhi gestured with his chin toward the swing.
"Sit down and see."
Qin Shi'an raised an eyebrow and sat down on the swing.
Suddenly, the swing was pushed.
The clouds in the sky appeared to be sometimes near and sometimes far in Qin Shi'an's eyes.
“Once, Ziyi and I passed through a village. There was a farmhouse with a family of three living there. There was a swing set in the yard. The man and woman of the house were standing behind the swing set pushing their little girl. Ziyi was so envious. The day he found out you were a girl, he even wrote to me asking me to make you a rocking horse, a rocking horse that he could sit on, so that he and the two boys from the Qin family could protect you. I agreed.”
Mo Ziyuan and Gongshu Zhi stood behind Qin Shi'an.
I gently pushed the swing like that.
After a long silence, Qin Shi'an spoke.
"Uncle, Aunt, you should set off for the capital tomorrow."
Gongshu Zhi was taken aback. "Isn't the army supposed to set off tomorrow?"
Mo Ziyuan grasped Gongshu Zhi's hand and shook her head.
Qin Shi'an closed his eyes and tilted his head back.
"After you return to the capital, go to the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion and find Li Jin. Ask him to buy you a large house."
Gongshu Zhi was taken aback, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
He turned and left Qin Shi'an's courtyard.
Qin Shi'an opened his eyes, watched Gongshu Zhi's departing figure, and smacked his lips.
She turned to look at Mo Ziyuan, "Auntie, I still think there's something wrong with your judgment. Only you would like this stubborn temper."
Mo Ziyuan wanted to laugh, but couldn't quite manage it.
Qin Shi'an smiled at her and stood up. "I haven't said it yet, may your marriage be blessed with longevity."
After saying that, she turned and went back to her room.
Mo Ziyuan arrived at the courtyard next to Qin Shi'an.
Liu Yiyi is drying medicinal herbs.
Mo Ziyuan walked over and said, "Professor Liu."
Liu Yiyi smiled when she saw that it was Mo Ziyuan. "You don't need to be so formal. The princess and I are good friends. You can call me Liu Yiyi or Xiao Liu. Are you not feeling well?"
Her hands were still busy, without stopping.
Mo Ziyuan watched Liu Yiyi's busy figure and said softly, "Are these prepared for Shi'an?"
Liu Yiyi was taken aback, then said, "She has also suffered a lot of injuries in the past two years of war. Now that the war is over, I will help her recover."
Mo Ziyuan sat at a small table in the courtyard.
"Shi'an asked me to go back to Beijing with her uncle. We're leaving tomorrow."
Liu Yiyi slowed down her movements, then quickly got busy again.
"It will take some time for the army to return to the capital, so it would be good for you to go back first."
Mo Ziyuan tentatively asked, "Is there really no cure for Shi'an's poison?"
Liu Yiyi increased the speed of her hands.
"There's still time. I won't let her die."
Mo Ziyuan's expression flashed with sadness, "Her uncle and I will wait for her to return to the capital."
There was no sound behind her, and Liu Yiyi's shoulders slumped.
A guard suddenly came to report from outside the courtyard.
Liu Yiyi walked to the courtyard gate, where the guard held two letters.
One letter came from the royal palace of the Jin state, and the other was a letter from home.
Liu Yiyi opened the letter from the palace.
The letter contained His Majesty and the Empress's concern for Qin Shi'an's health, as well as the progress of Liu Yiyi's detoxification process.
Liu Yiyi put the letter aside for the time being.
Then he opened the letter from home.
She had just read one line of text when she immediately got up and went to Qin Shi'an's courtyard.
Qin Shi'an had just finished dressing.
Liu Yiyi handed her the letter, "It was Fang Junsheng who colluded with the enemy to exchange poisonous herbs!"
Qin Shi'an wasn't surprised. As she straightened her collar, she said, "Did the letter say that your father is in his hands? Don't worry, our people are keeping an eye on him. Your father won't be in danger."
Liu Yiyi raised an eyebrow at Qin Shi'an, "Did the person behind him make a move?"
Qin Shi'an gestured to the letters on the table.
Liu Yiyi looked over and then her eyes widened. "Fang Junsheng is one of Ren Wang's men?"
Qin Shi'an nodded calmly, "He was sentenced to twenty years of hard labor, and disappeared not long after."
Liu Yiyi frowned, thinking for a long time, "He's hiding it quite well?"
Qin Shi'an smiled and said, "It's not that he's well hidden, but that he's not very useful. The complexities in the capital go far beyond the court. If it weren't for your close relationship with me, Fang Junsheng might never have been employed in his entire life."
Liu Yiyi crossed her arms. "Even the King of Ren has been driven to his fiefdom, and he still won't settle down?"
Qin Shi'an was not surprised. "His years of planning were ruined by me in one fell swoop. He was just an extra in my battle with others. He hates me more than his family. If he has the chance to kill me on the battlefield, he will definitely not let it go. Besides, how can he return to the capital if I don't die?"
Liu Yiyi looked puzzled. "Return to the capital? He still wants to return to the capital? His Majesty won't agree?"
Qin Shi'an took the letter from the palace. "If the princes suffer heavy casualties in the fighting, and he is the only one capable of shouldering the great responsibility?"
Liu Yiyi sat down next to him. "But His Majesty has already appointed the Crown Prince. If His Majesty and His Majesty pass away, the Crown Prince will be the one to ascend the throne. Even if he returns to the capital, he won't be qualified to compete for it."
Qin Shi'an looked up at her and said, "So I have to die. He can't investigate the poisoning matter so thoroughly. He's not sure I'll die from the strange poison. To ensure everything goes smoothly, he naturally has to take action against me. If I don't die, how can he seize the throne from the Crown Prince?"
Liu Yiyi was dumbfounded. "Is he really that confident that he can get the throne? There are so many princes in the capital."
Qin Shi'an picked up his pen. "It's not confidence; it's an obsession that anyone born into royalty will have."
What is a prince? He is the person closest to the supreme position of the world.
Regardless of their abilities or background, they all deserved that position.
So as long as they are alive, they will not stop fighting for that position.
Those who most want to hear of my death right now are probably the princes in the capital.
