"If you are a princess, you must be like me, hum." Su Jingyao snorted and said coquettishly.
"But why did Your Majesty come so early today?" Su Jingyao asked softly with a puzzled look on her face.
Jun Zecheng has been extremely busy with political affairs during this period. Su Jingyao could also guess that Jun Zechen was preparing to attack other countries and had been making various preparations for this.
"I am training cavalry in Dongzhou and will not start a war in the short term. I will probably have to wait until Yaoyao gives birth."
“So this period won’t be as busy as before.”
Jun Zechen had already trained a large army in the Inner Sea and had informed several court ministers of his ideas in detail.
The troops are ready to march to the coast.
But in the past ten days, Jun Zechen and several ministers have discussed it many times.
Finally, after careful consideration, it was decided to delay the war.
If a war is launched now, it is impossible for the Canglang Kingdom to be unaware of it. If the other side takes advantage of the situation, it will be a loss for the Kingdom.
However, the Kingdom of Jun has a vast territory and abundant resources, and a large number of troops. At the same time, the cavalry is being trained in Dongzhou. Even if the Kingdom of Canglang wants to intervene, it will have to first see whether the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jun agrees.
Su Jingyao did not ask too much about his policy decisions, but just nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Yuqing Palace.
In the inky black palace, only the faint candlelight that seemed to be about to go out at any moment was flickering weakly.
The dancing flames tried hard to release light, but they could only illuminate this small world.
The figures of a master and a servant can be vaguely seen.
However, the servant who was supposed to be humble and submissive seemed to exude a different aura at this moment, which made it difficult to ignore.
Concubine Lan frowned slightly, with doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Are you sure the information you received is accurate?"
She stared closely at the servant in front of her and asked softly.
At this time, Concubine Lan had a gloomy expression on her face.
At that time, the queen almost had a miscarriage. In order to create a conflict between Jun Kingdom and Yuehui Kingdom, Concubine Lan deliberately wanted to frame Concubine Ming.
So that the Yuehui Kingdom would mistakenly believe that the Jun Kingdom was about to go to war with them.
Because the spies of the Canglang Kingdom in the Jun Kingdom reported that the Jun Kingdom seemed to be secretly training its army, although it was impossible to find out exactly where the army was training and what type of troops were being trained.
However, their Canglang Kingdom can cleverly make Yuehui Kingdom think that Jun Kingdom is going to deal with them, so that Yuehui Kingdom can strike first.
Once two countries go to war, there will naturally be someone who benefits.
The Canglang Kingdom is a nation of nomads and warlike by nature. They have long coveted and eyed the fertile land of the monarchy.
But the Jun Kingdom was too powerful, and the Canglang Kingdom could not do anything for the time being.
But if the Jun Kingdom dispatches its troops to attack Yuehui in advance, wouldn’t the Canglang Kingdom have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
Unfortunately, the last carefully planned frame-up ultimately ended in failure, but new information was unexpectedly obtained.
The palace maid beside her stood there quietly, with her head slightly lowered, making it impossible to see her face at all.
"Of course it's accurate. Your Majesty is going to attack either Yuehui or Lingyu."
The palace maid's voice was extremely hoarse, as if her throat was broken, and every word she uttered was difficult to pronounce.
The maid then slowly said, "His Majesty is training the army in the Inland Sea. Most of the training involves water battles."
"Oh."
Lan Fei chuckled, and a smug smile instantly appeared on her face.
"That's really easy to get. I will write a letter back to Canglang right now, asking him to be patient. I will also ask Yuehui and Lingyu to prepare for the Jun Kingdom in advance. When the Jun Kingdom attacks, Canglang will take advantage of the opportunity to attack."
As she spoke, Lan Fei raised the corners of her mouth, and her smile was filled with calculation and expectation.
Then, Lan Fei frowned slightly again, with a look of deep thought on her face, her brows tightly knitted together.
"I just don't know when the monarchy will start a war?"
"No matter when, the master just needs to wait for good news." said the palace maid.
Then her eyes revealed a hint of resentment and hatred, "The Queen is due to give birth in three months, Master, don't you plan to do anything?"
"I know you hate the Queen, but not only is Kunning Palace impeccably protected by His Majesty, but even the Queen herself is no ordinary person. How could I possibly do anything about it?"
Lan Fei shook her head slightly as she spoke, with an annoyed look on her face.
Doesn't she want to deal with the Queen? Although Concubine Lan is a concubine, she is restricted in what she can do because the Queen holds the power in the harem.
Then Concubine Lan continued, "If I do something to the Queen and arouse His Majesty's suspicion, wouldn't that make His Majesty also suspect Shang Cang Lang?"
"Master, why do you have to do it yourself? Isn't there someone in the cold palace who is almost crazy?"
There was a hint of bewitchment in the maid's voice, and her eyes were even more vicious.
"The Queen is pregnant with twins. If she dies during childbirth, the Master will have one less formidable enemy, and spreading the news won't be as difficult as it is now."
As the palace maid spoke, she raised her head and stared at Concubine Lan closely, her eyes seemed to urge her to act quickly.
After hearing this, Concubine Lan gradually fell into deep thought.
There was a flicker in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
She entered the palace relatively late, and was not very clear about the entanglement between Ling in the cold palace and the queen.
But this palace maid knew it clearly.
Ling's hatred for the Queen was indeed no less than that of this palace maid. Using Ling to deal with the Queen was indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
And in this way, no one will easily suspect her.
Ever since she entered the palace, she has always been noncompetitive.
If the queen really was gone, it would indeed be easier for her and her brother to pass on messages.
If the monarchy goes to war with another country in the future, the harem will definitely block the news.
The Queen's methods were so powerful that it was extremely difficult for her to spread the news.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lan said, "You hate the Queen. How do you want Ling Shi to offend the Queen? It's up to you to figure it out. I won't interfere in such matters, but I won't stop you either."
Lan Fei had an indifferent expression, no warmth in her eyes, and her voice was icy cold.
"If something happens, I won't protect you."
After Lan Fei finished speaking, she raised her head slightly, and her expression remained unchanged.
"Yes, I will do this myself."
The palace maid lowered her head, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.
She has nothing to lose now. Even if it means both of them will perish together, she will never let the queen have an easy time!
