Chapter 118 Release
At the palace banquet that day, the ninth prince of Southern Liang left the table in anger.
When I returned to the inn, I got the news that the people of the entire Kyoto were discussing a storybook. The content of the storybook, except for the identities of the characters, all overlapped with the events at the palace banquet.
What is this!
It was clearly the Great Yan Kingdom's humiliation and trampling of his Southern Liang!
How do people respond when they come to propose marriage?
That's it!
He thought the previous incident with the storybook was just a misunderstanding, and even after that incident, he still continued to propose marriage.
Thinking back on it now, I just feel angry and frustrated.
They were clearly playing a trick on him!
If it wasn't for the purpose of protecting Su Yunhe, why would he come to Mu Ze to ask for such a person to marry him? But now it seems that the Emperor of Beiyan is clearly not giving Su Yunhe any chance. It is useless for him to use this chess piece no matter how hard he tries.
Come with joy and leave with frustration.
As soon as the envoy from Southern Liang left, Su Yunhe completely lost hope.
Su Yunyun plotted to murder the Second Prince's wife and was sentenced to death, with her entire clan implicated. However, the Emperor gave a lighter sentence because of the Su family's past contributions.
Only Su Yunyun was beheaded as a public display, and the rest of the Su family were all exiled.
Su Jinghe, who was hidden in the mansion by Su Qingqing, finally got her wish and left the Prince's Mansion.
Rong Que's injuries were quite serious and he was in a coma for three days before waking up.
During this period, the emperor visited him twice.
On the third day, the emperor released Su Qingqing and ordered her to reflect on her mistakes under house arrest, considering Rong Que's plea for her.
By the time Su Qingqing returned home from the prison, it was already dusk.
Jixiang Baba was waiting at the door, and when she finally saw her master, she ran up to him crying.
"My lady, you are back. I was so worried."
Madam Xu and the others followed behind, wiping their tears, as if Su Qingqing had really come back to life.
The eunuchs who brought Su Qingqing back received some tea money each and left happily. Su Qingqing took everyone back home.
When they arrived at the main room, Jixiang helped Su Qingqing take a bath while reporting, "After Miss Jinghe was taken away, I asked Madam Du to pay for her. Someone will take care of her on the way. Once she leaves Shanxi, someone will take her away."
Su Qingqing hummed and lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed.
Su Jinghe's matter always made her feel like she was being stabbed by needles in the heart.
Jixiang continued, "His Majesty summoned General Wang and indeed mentioned the matter of raising a private army. In the past few days, General Wang has been following the instructions of His Majesty and looking for opportunities to contact ."
He Chao is the prince's man.
He revealed the fact that His Majesty wanted to raise a private army to the Duke of Zhenguo, who would definitely investigate. When he found out that it was the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion, he could divert the Duke of Zhenguo's attention there.
As long as there is the big Buddha like Rong'an Hou blocking the way, who would care about Wang Yu.
You know, the current Wang Yu is very different from the Wang Yu of the Su family army back then.
From then on, while Wang Yu raised troops, the Duke of Zhenguo would only focus on the Marquis of Rong'an.
Jixiang reported everything that had happened in the past three days in a long and rambling manner. By the time she finished speaking, Su Qingqing had almost finished washing.
I changed into clean clothes and went to see Rong Que.
Rong Que's injuries, although they looked serious, were actually not on vital parts. He just lost a lot of blood, and his face was still pale.
Having received the news early in the morning, Rong Que thought that Su Qingqing would come to see him as soon as she came back. He stretched his neck and even asked Ming Lu to wash his face and comb his hair.
As a result, he was waiting here like a colorful peacock, while others went straight to take a bath.
To say I'm not disappointed would be a lie.
Finally seeing someone, Rong Que stared at Su Qingqing without blinking, just wanting to look at this person for a while longer, "How bitter is it in prison?"
Su Qingqing sat next to Rong Que and tucked the quilt in for him, "How hard can it be?"
No matter how hard it is, can it be as harsh as the winter in the border area?
Without food or water, he had to crawl on the ground for nearly ten hours, just to get the best opportunity to strike the enemy.
Compared to those, this is nothing.
Pursing her lips and smiling, Su Qingqing said to Rong Que: "Your Highness really dares to trust me. Aren't you afraid that one mistake of my people will cost you your life?"
Are you afraid?
Afraid, but not afraid.
I was afraid that if I died I would never see her again.
But he was not afraid that he would really die at her hands.
"It turns out that the Crown Princess is still worthy of my trust."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Although Your Highness is injured this time, His Majesty's heart is on your side. You can't take care of court affairs these days, but fortunately there is nothing to take care of."
Rong Que wanted to pinch Su Qingqing's face.
Just like she did every time she pinched auspicious numbers.
But he moved his curled fingers but didn't have the courage to lift them up. He just said, "With you taking Rong An Hou out for a walk, nothing can happen these days."
The emperor wants to maintain a private army.
This news was clearly a private conversation between him and Wang Yu.
But in the blink of an eye, the Duke of Zhenguo sent people to investigate Wang Yu. This move completely angered the emperor, making him feel more and more uneasy and eager to have his own army.
But after investigating for a long time, the Duke of Zhenguo turned his attention to the Marquis of Rong'an.
In the past few days, he and Marquis Rong'an have been causing chaos in the court.
Su Qingqing wanted Wang Yu to raise a private army, because she needed to use the secret agent that Rong Que had planted in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She had discussed this matter with Rong Que in advance.
Leaning against the soft pillow, Rong Que said to Su Qingqing, "With Rong'an Hou attracting the attention of the Duke of Zhenguo, Wang Yu should be much more relaxed, right?"
Su Qingqing shook her head.
"The easy part is the one that is raised by His Majesty."
Rong Que was stunned, and immediately realized that she was trying to build a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang.
Under the pretext of raising private soldiers for the emperor, they used the emperor's money and military rations, but in fact they were secretly raising a group of their own people.
"About how much?"
Su Qingqing chuckled, "Why, Your Highness, are you afraid that I will become too powerful and help the Zhao Kingdom deal with you in the future?"
Rong Que wanted to grab Su Qingqing's slender hand, gather her fingers together, and then kiss the pink and tender fingertips.
"You've got to be on guard against others," he joked.
Su Qingqing said, "At present, we only have 2,000 elite soldiers. Wang Yu privately counted the number of people who withdrew from the Su family army that year, and there are about a hundred of them. He has already contacted them secretly. It will be much more convenient to have these hundred people to train."
Most of these more than one hundred people are generals in the army.
Because the Duke of Zhenguo took over the Su family army, even though Su Yunhe went to appease them at that time, these people were used to following Su Qingqing and could not accept a second general at all. What's more, they always felt that there was something wrong.
At that time, some people returned to Beijing to seek justice .
The rest of the people wait.
After waiting for so long and not getting the results they wanted, these people took the opportunity to run away.
It can also be considered a deserter, a soldier who faked his death...
Rong Que didn't intend to ask how they left the Su family army and how they were contacted by Wang Yu. He just said, "He Chao sent me a message that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Queen Mother are both suspicious of your identity."
After saying this , Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing without blinking, wanting to see her emotions at every moment.
