Although Meng Qingqian angrily shook the bell because He Yunxiao had touched her body, she softened her heart when she saw He Yunxiao rolling on the ground in pain.
She herself didn't know what was going on.
She had never been this soft-hearted before, even when she personally tortured the Yan assassin until he was covered in blood.
He Yunxiao just lay on the ground crying in pain, which made her feel extremely distressed.
It was as if some of the pain He Yunxiao had endured had been transmitted to her heart through her eyes.
Meng Qingqian was very annoyed.
As someone in a position of authority, one should never have thoughts such as "soft-heartedness," "hesitation," "favoritism," "heartache," "worry," or "irritability," but He Yunxiao embodies all of these flaws.
Fortunately, she only made these mistakes with He Yunxiao.
After ringing the bell twice, giving He Yunxiao, who had been taking advantage of the situation, a hard time, Meng Qingqian said coldly, "You are not allowed to come near me again, do you hear me?"
As a man, He Yunxiao still hoped to keep his word. Although he wasn't planning to pursue the antidote yet, there would be other opportunities in the future. Should he promise her "no close contact" now, only to marry her and keep her as a decoration later?
Although she said she "didn't plan to pursue her," how come her affection level with the antidote inexplicably jumped to 75, as if she had taken the medicine? She wasn't this easy to talk to before.
He Yunxiao got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and without responding to Li Qingmeng, sat down opposite her. He didn't mention the "not letting her get close" thing at all, but instead said, "Miss Li, let's stop arguing. Tell me your plan to help Jiang Wuyou."
Seeing that He Yunxiao didn't mention "not allowing anyone to get close," Meng Qingqian didn't bring it up either. Whether by coincidence or design, they both forgot about it.
Meng Qingqian said, "Emperor Yan has been preparing for a long time, and we have only just learned of his plan. The preparation time is seriously insufficient, making it difficult to achieve perfection. However, you just reminded me. If we want to break Emperor Yan's deadly trap, the only solution is to let Princess Xiaoyue die before Emperor Yan makes his move."
"Moreover, the timing of his death must be clever. If he dies too early, Jiang Wuyou will lose her value, and her parents will be in danger. If he dies too late, it will be impossible to prevent Jiang Wuyou from being identified as the mastermind. He must die on the eve of Jiang Wuyou's move. Isn't Yan going to attack Qi? Let them attack and test us. We'll use this battle to frighten Yan, and then we can fight for ten years of peace."
When Meng Qingqian was discussing court affairs, the domineering aura she inadvertently revealed made her extremely charming.
Even He Yunxiao was momentarily stunned by her gaze.
Meng Qingqian glared at the distracted He Yunxiao, then continued with a slightly blushing pink on her pretty face: "My plan is:
"At the coming-of-age banquet, before Jiang Wuyou could perform his sword dance and assassination, Princess Xiaoyue would 'die from poisoning' on her own initiative. In this way, she could have the best of both worlds."
"At that time, I will spread the word that the Jianghu people and the people of Wei want to kill Princess Xiaoyue, so as to confuse the public. Even if the Yan Emperor still wants to kill Jiang Wuyou's parents in the end, the time we buy will be enough for us to find her parents and rescue them."
He Yunxiao wasn't stupid; he could figure out many things. After hearing about the antidote plan, he immediately asked, "Jiang Wuyou said there's an inside agent in the palace. What if they discover that Xiaoyue is faking her death?"
Meng Qingqian smiled and said, "You don't understand. I will have the imperial physician prepare a prescription to make her show signs of weakness. Besides, the Yan Emperor's original intention was not to kill my cousin, but to prevent her from governing, leaving Qi without a leader and causing panic among the people of Qi."
He Yunxiao was even more confused. "Then, if Meng Qingqian's death is 'fake,' wouldn't it fit into Emperor Yan's plan?"
Meng Qingqian shook her head and said, "This is different. Princess Xiaoyue can 'fake her death' to inform her confidants in advance and even come back to life at a crucial moment. But if she really dies, there's nothing that can be done. First, let Qi be thrown into chaos, let the Prime Minister take power, and when he suffers a crushing defeat against the Yan army and his reputation is ruined, then Xiaoyue can miraculously revive. In this way, Princess Xiaoyue can use the Yan state to help Qi unify the court, end the division, and have all officials return to Meng."
He Yunxiao gasped in shock.
Damn it, how could I not have thought of that! This woman actually dared to turn around and ask the Yan Kingdom for help; she's really ruthless!
Meng Qingqian enjoyed He Yunxiao's adoring gaze at that moment and returned it with an encouraging look.
He Yunxiao felt that the antidote was "looking at an idiot".
I should have asked Ziruo's wife for her opinion before coming to find the antidote. Although Ziruo's wife doesn't understand the political situation, she is truly intelligent. Asking Ziruo's wife would at least have prevented us from losing so completely in the face of the antidote.
However, He Yunxiao soon discovered a fatal flaw.
“Miss Li, after you unified the court, you haven’t yet said how to defeat the Yan army. As far as I know, the vast majority of our generals are under the command of the Prime Minister.”
Meng Qingqian blinked her eyes cutely, "What? Why does Qingmeng want to defeat the Yan army? Isn't defeating the Yan army Young Master He's job?"
He Yunxiao was dumbfounded.
Even if I were a ninth-rank martial artist, I still couldn't defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yan Kingdom! Even the donkeys in the production team aren't used like this!
But He Yunxiao immediately realized that while he couldn't defeat them, his father could. The He family army numbered 120,000, which was certainly insufficient to confront the entire Yan army head-on. However, the Qi army was larger, so the He family army wouldn't have to withstand the entire Yan army's pressure at once. Even if they were to face the entire Yan army, 120,000 men could still hold Yinjing City. Yan's national strength was inferior to Qi's; if Qi couldn't capture Yinjing, Yan would inevitably be defeated.
