Chapter 429: Tricks
If we want to send an envoy to Da Qi, then naturally we have to send this news to several other countries at the same time.
Since Su Heng was already here with Su Qingqing, the one for Zhao State was omitted. Besides, Su Qingqing wanted to see what the reaction would be if she didn't go to Zhao State specifically to deliver the message.
The person she had sent to Zhao State to deliver the message was already on the way, and that person would definitely arrive in Zhao State before Shen Ye received the news that Dayan State was really going to hold such a banquet.
Father had enough time to observe and control Shen Ye’s reaction.
Su Qingqing is not worried about this.
Looking at Su Heng sitting opposite, Su Qingqing hesitated again and again, and finally revealed all her guesses and analysis, "...What do you think? If you go back, I will send someone to take you back safely and accompany you to finish your business over there. If you..."
Before Su Qingqing could finish, Su Heng shook his head and interrupted her, "I'm not going back."
This answer made Su Qingqing feel relieved.
Su Heng is young. Boys of his age are at the age where they think they are the best in the world. They have their own set of cognitions, but these cognitions are often centered on themselves. They think they are awesome and everyone else is rubbish.
She was afraid that Su Heng would act on impulse and go back to find Shen Ye, or that he would think that as the legitimate prince of Zhao Kingdom, he should go back to take responsibility or something.
As a sister, Su Qingqing could stop him.
But as the queen of the Great Yan Kingdom, Su Qingqing couldn't stop it.
Because no one can guarantee that things in Zhao State will be resolved smoothly. If things don’t go smoothly, something unexpected may happen, and whether everyone can bear this accident.
No one is sure about these.
"If Shen Ye really wants to get rid of me, then if I go back, it would be like sending myself to his door. Not only will my father have to deal with Shen Ye, but he will also have to spare some energy to take care of me.
If I don't go back, everyone will know that I am alive and well here with you. Even if Shen Ye's plan succeeds, as long as I am still here, the throne of Zhao Kingdom will not be passed down to others, even if something unexpected happens. It is mine."
Su Heng saw through everything. After he finished speaking, he scooped a piece of steamed egg with lotus seeds from the dining table with a spoon and put it into his mouth. He tilted his head and smiled at Su Qingqing: "Are you afraid that I will go back? You look so conflicted, afraid that I will go back, but if I really said I wanted to go back, you wouldn't stop me, right?"
Su Qingqing was stumped by the child's question and didn't say anything.
Su Heng rolled his eyes, "You always look down on others. Why? I'm not as old as Rong Que, and my brain isn't as good as his? Is that what you think of me?"
Su Qingqing couldn't help but rub Su Heng's head and said, "Alright, eat it quickly, it's getting cold."
Su Heng snorted twice, "You always look down on others."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, I was wrong. I won't underestimate you anymore . Our Heng'er is capable and smart."
Su Heng ate the food and said, "You underestimated me in the first place, but I won't argue with you about this matter. I just want to ask, should I attend this so-called banquet attended by royal families from various countries?"
Su Qingqing looked at him , "Do you want to join?"
Su Heng shook his head, "Who wants to participate in this? You obviously have a purpose. If I participate, and someone uses me as a scapegoat to cause trouble for you, you will immediately look down on me. Why should I rush to cause trouble for you?"
Su Qingqing almost died of laughter, "This is such a petty person, it's endless, if you don't want to participate, then don't participate, you can have fun by yourself, you can go to the palace, the prince's mansion, or go to the hot springs in the West Hill Villa, it's all fine, no one will care about you."
Su Heng snorted, "I came here to have fun, and you look down on me again."
Su Qingqing looked at him speechlessly, "I don't look down on you, so what are you going to do?"
Su Heng said: "Although I will not attend the palace banquet, it does not mean that I will not go. I will go as your bodyguard."
Su Qingqing: Huh?
"If you have already given birth and are still in confinement, you will definitely not be able to attend the palace banquet. I will stay in your yard at that time. If you haven't given birth yet, I will follow you to the banquet hall. If you have given birth and are still in confinement, you can go wherever you want. I will stay with my little nephew."
Su Qingqing opened her mouth, but suddenly her throat felt a little tight and she couldn't speak.
Su Heng smiled, "Are you touched? No, I'm touched already, this is just the beginning, and you're already touched."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Why, do you have any follow-up plans?"
Su Heng said: "There is no need to talk about the follow-up. Anyway, since I am here, I will definitely not let anything happen to you. I am not some people who put the interests of the country first and my wife and children aside.
I’m different. ”
After Su Heng finished speaking, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs and started eating. He didn't look like he was eating spareribs. He probably thought he was eating the spareribs as Rong Que.
No matter how many reasons Su Qingqing and Rong Que gave, they were not valid to Su Heng and he would not accept them.
He just couldn't bear to see Su Qingqing suffer. No matter why she suffered, he just couldn't bear it. Rong Que would remember it in his heart.
Su Qingqing got accurate information from him, and felt relieved so she didn't bother him any more. Su Heng was still the same as before, and would go to Su's Army to play with Wang Yu after eating and drinking every day.
Watch Wang Yu train his troops and ask him for advice on various military tactics.
He Chao interrogated Duke Xue for two days but did not get anything valuable out of him. Then on the third day, following Su Qingqing's suggestion, Zhao Kangjie suddenly left the barracks early in the morning with a thousand Su family soldiers and headed straight for the northwest. Ming Lu, as the emperor's personal attendant, also set off with them.
The commotion was quite loud, and directly alarmed many high-ranking families in Kyoto. However, in the blink of an eye, He Chao had pried open Duke Xue's mouth, and the news spread throughout Kyoto.
Whether openly or secretly, the rumor was spreading everywhere that Duke Xue's main base in the northwest had been uncovered, and the Su family army was going there this time to get to the bottom of Duke Xue's past.
The problem of enclosing land and storing grain is finally going to be completely resolved.
The people of Kyoto were very excited. Even though the enclosure of land in the northwest had little impact on them, after all, a high-ranking duke had fallen. This was much more exciting than the neighbor Wang stealing someone.
For a time, all the major restaurants, teahouses, brothels and other crowded places were discussing this matter.
When the words reached Mr. Jin's ears, Yue Niang was serving Mr. Jin meal. She was so frightened that her hand trembled and she dropped the soup spoon in her hand.
The blue and white porcelain soup spoon fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. She looked at Mr. Jin in horror, "Oh my God, what should I do?"
Ever since Duke Xue was captured, Yue Niang tried every possible way to rescue him. She united the remaining eight families but to no avail. Later, she placed all her hopes on Qingyue.
In the end, there was no good news from Qingyue, but this was the news.
Jin Ye was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Yue Niang with disgust and scolded coldly, "What are you talking about? You can't even hold a spoon steadily? What's the use of you!
It's just a smokescreen released by Su Qingqing and the others. We can't get any useful information from my father. They just want to trick me. Why are you panicking?"
