Chapter 433: Nanyue Kingdom, no happiness until it is eliminated
Xiao Baozhu's face turned even paler.
"That's his father!"
Lu Zhiran's eyes revealed a mocking look. "He can earn those dirty tricks by violating his conscience, so why would he care about the relationship between father and son?"
He has done so many unscrupulous things for that position, and this one is no exception.
If Emperor Defeng was no longer useful and might even become a hidden danger to his ascension to the throne, he would indeed be capable of regicide.
Xiao Baozhu was shaking with anger.
"I must find a way to cure my father. Once he gets better, I want to see how he can jump around again!"
This is easy to say, but difficult to do.
I don’t know how many imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have been bribed by Xiao Yanlin. Even if they have not been bribed, they may not be able to cure my father’s illness.
Xiao Baozhu couldn't help but feel discouraged. If only Nan Sheng were here, it would be great.
Lu Zhiran also understood the difficulties involved, but at this moment she was powerless to do anything.
She thought of another person. "The Crown Prince recommended a female doctor earlier. She cured many officials in the court of poisoning. Baozhu, have you ever met her? Where did she come from?"
Xiao Baozhu shook her head. "I've never seen her, but I heard she's an orphan with a completely disfigured appearance. Sister Ran, are you asking me to ask her to treat my father?"
Lu Zhiran immediately shook her head, "Of course not. She was recommended by the Crown Prince. Her identity is questionable and cannot be used."
She had previously sent people to investigate this person, but in the end no suspicious points were found and his identity and background were normal.
But the more this happened, the more suspicious Lu Zhiran became.
I always feel that there is something unusual about this person, but I just can't find the crux of the matter.
"I mentioned this person because I want you to be more careful about her. If the Crown Prince lets her into the palace again on the pretext that the Emperor is seriously ill, you must keep a close eye on her to prevent her from harming the Emperor."
Her guess might be petty, but at this critical moment, she couldn't help but be suspicious.
Xiao Baozhu's heart trembled and she immediately became alert.
"Sister Ran is right. I've taken note of it."
The two of them conspired again, and soon it was time for dinner. They ate a meal that was somewhat tasteless.
After the meal, Lu Zhiran began to change her clothes and disguise herself. She looked completely different.
As it was getting dark, she followed Xiao Baozhu with her head lowered, looking inconspicuous.
The guards at the gate didn't notice at all that there was one more maid behind Xiao Baozhu than when she came.
After leaving Prince Jin's Mansion and getting into her own carriage, Xiao Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief.
But she still didn't dare to relax until she returned to the princess's mansion and entered her own territory, and then her tense back relaxed instantly.
Back at Prince Jin's Mansion, everything in the main courtyard remained the same.
Cuifu and Danyan, two first-class maids, often walked around the mansion. Cuifu scolded those maids with fickle minds and acted more and more aggressively, while Danyan went to buy and order dishes every day, claiming that they were what her own princess wanted to eat.
Occasionally, mournful piano music could be heard from the main courtyard. Everyone thought that Princess Jin was grieving for her own situation. No one knew that Princess Jin had passed away long ago.
Lu Zhiran was placed in Xiao Baozhu's yard and lived with her.
She rarely went out on weekdays. Apart from Xiao Baozhu's closest confidants, even Zhen Shi didn't know that she was hiding someone.
One day, Lu Zhiran heard the sound of bells coming from the palace in her own courtyard.
That was the bell ringing for the crown prince's ascension to the throne.
Today is the crown prince's coronation ceremony.
Lu Zhiran's expression grew a little gloomy.
She inevitably thought of Xiao Yanci. What was he doing at this moment? Was he okay?
Your Highness, you promised me that you would come back safe and sound. Don't break your promise.
…
Southern Yunnan was not peaceful at this time.
While the soldiers of Southern Yunnan Prefecture were wielding swords to kill the enemy on the battlefield, Ye Xianfeng personally led his troops to raid the Kingdom of Nanyue.
This was their third attack on South Vietnam.
The first two times, the Kingdom of Nanyue was on high alert, but the Southern Yunnan Prefecture only made a feint and did not actually launch an attack.
Next time, the same trick happened again.
The tricks of using both truth and falsehood made the Kingdom of Nanyue lose its temper.
This style of fighting is exactly the same as when the Kingdom of Nanyue dealt with them.
At that time, the Southern Yunnan Prefecture was hit by floods and was unable to take care of itself. The Kingdom of Nanyue took advantage of the situation, took the initiative to invade, and harassed it continuously.
Now, the Nanyue Kingdom's food supplies have been burned, and there are no spies to pass on information to them, so they no longer have the arrogance they had before.
On the contrary, the situation in Southern Yunnan Prefecture has gradually recovered, and morale has been greatly boosted. Everyone is holding their breath and just wants to take revenge.
This time, the Nanyue Kingdom thought that the Diannan Prefecture was playing tricks on them again, so they were a little lax and didn't take it seriously. However, they didn't expect that the Diannan Prefecture was serious and caught them off guard.
Ye Xianfeng chopped off heads one by one, and they rolled to the ground. The bright red blood splattered on his face and also dyed the armor in front of him red.
After killing a lot of people on the battlefield, he felt extremely happy.
The soldiers had a great time killing and were about to continue the pursuit with their swords in hand, but the retreat horn sounded and they had to withdraw.
The Nanyue Kingdom was just breathing a sigh of relief when it was attacked again from the west. Without even having time to catch its breath, the Nanyue soldiers rushed to the west to provide support.
The morale of the Nanyue Kingdom was greatly damaged and it suffered heavy losses after being attacked from both sides.
The one who raided the west side was Ye Huaixu, the son of Ye Xianfeng. The father and son led their troops back one after another and won the battle. The soldiers all had happy smiles on their faces.
"Son of a bitch, I finally got my revenge today."
"It's a pity that we didn't pursue the victory. Otherwise, we could have killed a few more South Vietnamese today."
The soldiers were in high spirits and were all talking about this great victory.
Ye Xianfeng and Ye Huaixu reported the battle situation to the King of Southern Yunnan, and both of them had joy on their faces.
The King of Southern Yunnan first encouraged him, but at the same time he did not forget to criticize him.
"Today's victory is only a small one. The real tough battle is still to come. You must not get carried away."
They both responded in unison.
Although they won today, they only had the advantage of taking the initiative, and their actual military strength was not sufficient.
The reason why they fought and ran away without pursuing the victory was because they did not have enough troops.
And they cannot let the Kingdom of Nanyue know this.
Today's small victory is just an appetizer, their ambitions go far beyond this.
The Kingdom of Nanyue is adjacent to the Southern Yunnan Prefecture and they usually live in peace with each other, but they always jump out from time to time to try to make their presence felt, which is really annoying.
This time, the war between the two countries completely angered the Southern Yunnan Prefecture.
The Kingdom of Nanyue must be eliminated before we can be happy!
The imperial court suspected that the Diannan Prefecture was colluding with the Nanyue Kingdom and had the intention of rebellion. Any expression of loyalty and excuses from them would not be as direct and straightforward as destroying the Nanyue Kingdom and incorporating it into the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty!
After the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed, the territory of the Great Qi was expanded, and the achievements of the Southern Yunnan Prefecture were indelible. Who would dare to say that the Southern Yunnan Prefecture had any rebellious intentions?
This was the idea Xiao Yanci had proposed.
He said he wanted to do something big, and everyone was shocked by his audacity after hearing it.
Admittedly, it's difficult.
With the current military strength of Southern Yunnan Prefecture, it is almost impossible to conquer the Kingdom of Nanyue.
But the Southern Yunnan Prefecture had no way out.
