Chapter 20 Princess, Please Have Lunch

The method he thought of was the dumbest one.

Not advisable.

Jiujiu has a good idea.

[If the prince can find the antidote for the poison from the envoy at the post station, and then take it out after the envoy is poisoned, then we can expose the truth that the southerners poisoned themselves and put the blame on Western Chu.]

【I, Xichu, can turn passivity into initiative. 】

[Maybe we can ask them to take more land and pay more compensation.]

Prince: “…………”

Why didn't he think of such a simple method?

How could he come up with such a stupid idea as poisoning himself?

Harming others does not benefit yourself.

Ahem——

A little embarrassing.

After the embarrassment, the Crown Prince and the Tenth and Eleventh Princes went to check the antidote hidden by the envoy of the post station. They went there disguised as servants.

I didn't find it on the first day.

The next day, they not only found it, but also heard the Southern Kingdom's envoys' scheme to poison themselves and fake their own death to avoid ceding territory and paying compensation. It was exactly what Jiujiu was thinking.

After getting the antidote, they replaced it with a fake one and then returned to the palace angrily.

The prince said angrily: "This time I must defeat them."

·

Jiujiu was worried that the prince could not solve the problem of the envoy's poisoning, so she found a solution herself.

Although Jiujiu was an orphan in her previous life and grew up in an orphanage, she learned Chinese medicine from her mother, the director of the orphanage, and memorized many prescriptions, especially a prescription that could cure all kinds of poisons, which she memorized from childhood to adulthood.

The medicinal herbs inside were all precious, and even if she had the prescription in her previous life, she wouldn't have been able to make the medicine.

She is a princess in this life, and she can definitely come up with a prescription to save that evil envoy.

As long as the envoy is rescued, he will not be able to escape the obligation of ceding territory and paying compensation, and the crown prince's position as crown prince will not be shaky.

snort--

Their evil scheme will not succeed.

When Emperor Zhaoning came to see Jiujiu, he saw Jiujiu fiddling with a bunch of medicines, all of which were precious medicines.

Emperor Zhaoning asked in confusion: "Who is sick? Where is the imperial physician?"

"No one is sick." Li Fei said, "Jiujiu just suddenly wanted to play with these medicines."

"Is that so?" Emperor Zhaoning was no longer worried and said, "Tell the Imperial Hospital to send all the medicines the princess needs to her. Give her as much as she wants. Make sure the princess has fun and enjoys herself to the fullest."

Fu An said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As long as the medicine is available, it is easy to get it filled.

Jiujiu spent a day preparing a universal antidote.

If her hands weren't so small, she could have matched them faster.

Jiujiu was so happy that she clenched her fists and shouted to the sky: "I, the princess, will kill all the evil ghosts in the world. Kill, kill, kill..."

Dinner was already served. Seeing that Jiujiu had not eaten, Emperor Zhaoning stepped forward and picked up Jiujiu, who was shouting "kill, kill, kill", and said, "Okay, my princess, please have lunch?"

Jiujiu: “…”

Why does this sound so familiar?

She seemed to have heard it in her previous life.

Something like "Princess, please get in the car", "Princess, please drink water", "Princess, please sleep", "Princess, please eat"... there are so many, so many.

In her previous life, no one talked to her and no one treated her as a princess. But in this life, someone finally treated her as a princess.

Jiujiu kissed Emperor Zhaoning with satisfaction.

Emperor Zhaoning was overjoyed. "Princess, please take the chopsticks?"

Jiujiu kissed her again.

"Princess, please bring the bowl?"

"Princess, please open your mouth? Will your father feed you?"

"Have you eaten yet, Princess?"

Jiujiu lost herself in the princess's invitations one after another, laughing all day long, and kissed Emperor Zhaoning so many times that her little mouth was almost stiff from kissing.

·

Three days later, envoys from the Southern Kingdom arrived.

A banquet was prepared in the palace, which was personally prepared by the Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince. Although the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince were still young, with the guidance of the Crown Prince, they did a good job.

The banquet standards and the etiquette for welcoming envoys to the table were very detailed.

Emperor Zhaoning was very satisfied and looked at the Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Prince and others with relief.

The three of them sat together, and they were all very happy to see their father's gratified eyes.

Old Ten and Eleven are very grateful to Jiujiu. Without Jiujiu, they wouldn't be where they are today.

After the envoys took their seats, the banquet began.

The Western Chu State was the host, and the emperor and empress sat at the top, with the crown prince and other princes on their left, and concubines and royal relatives on their right.

The seats opposite the Emperor and Empress were where the envoys from the Southern Kingdom sat.

After several envoys sat down, they looked at the emperor and empress opposite them and the people on their left and right. They felt like criminals being interrogated and they were under a lot of pressure.

Moreover, the welcoming ceremony of Western Chu just now also made them feel very inferior. With so many elephants, the power was so great that it frightened their hearts and made them afraid. They were even more afraid that Western Chu would ask them to cede land and pay compensation, and make them become as poor as pants.

Fortunately, they were well prepared.

They will certainly be able to avoid ceding territory and paying indemnities.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Western Chu, we are coming to the capital for peace talks."

"To show our sincerity, let us first toast you a glass and wish you good health and all the best."

Led by the chief envoy, the three envoys offered wine to Emperor Zhaoning.

Emperor Zhaoning held Jiujiu in his arms. He did not pick up the wine glass, but a teacup instead. He said, "I have a precious daughter now. She doesn't like the taste of wine, so I will drink tea instead!"

This was said to show off that he had a daughter and to bring honor to the Southern Country.

The victorious country does not have to drink the wine offered by the defeated country.

The envoy from the Southern Kingdom felt despised, but he didn't dare to say anything and just drank the wine.

Then, the leader of the envoys fell headfirst onto his seat, his lips turned black and blood flowed from his mouth, black blood.

Upon seeing this, the prince came to the envoy with the antidote, but he did not give it to the envoy immediately. Instead, he planned to delay for a while and then take out the antidote so that everyone could see the envoy's true face.

Sure enough, the envoy started to make a fuss.

"Ambassador, what's wrong with you? You're bleeding black blood. You must have been poisoned."

"You just drank some wine, and then you were poisoned. Someone poisoned you. Someone poisoned you—"

"They are from Western Chu."

The few envoys who were not poisoned cooperated very well. They acted very nervous and uneasy while blaming Xi Chu.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Western Chu, we have already admitted that we have lost. We have come to discuss the cession of territory and payment of compensation with sincerity. We have done everything we can. But why don't you give us a way to survive?"

"You actually ignored the thousand-year-old rule of not killing envoys when two armies are at war and poisoned our ambassador. This is truly unprecedented."

"You are so insulting and too much. Aren't you afraid of being cursed by the surrounding countries?"

"We need to ask the Supreme Alliance to make the decision for us. Our ambassador cannot die in vain."

The Supreme Alliance was jointly established by all countries to handle inequalities between countries, which is similar to the nature of the modern United Nations.

The Southern Country even invited the Supreme Alliance to come out, which shows that they have made sufficient preparations!

Emperor Zhaoning was a little uneasy.

How could this envoy suddenly die of poisoning?

"Prince, what's going on?"
