Chapter 89 Awkward
Ever since the Duke of Zhenguo started paying attention to Marquis Rong'an, he has really found out a lot of things.
Fu Mingchang's family was poor in his early years and he could not afford the tuition for his studies. He was able to complete his studies with the financial support of a noble man, who was the father of the niece-in-law of the wife of Marquis Rong'an.
This relationship is quite distant.
No one would notice these unless they deliberately checked.
His guesses were verified bit by bit. Because of this hatred, the Duke of Zhenguo regained his spirit and took many actions against the Marquis of Rong'an in the court.
The emperor always thought that Marquis Rong'an had honestly handed over his military power and was waiting to enjoy his old age. Unexpectedly, the recent chaos in the court made him realize that Marquis Rong'an was not as honest as he imagined.
Fu Mingchang, who colluded with the Duke of Zhenguo, actually had private dealings with the Marquis of Rong'an.
This discovery once again increased the emperor's suspicion about General Su's case.
Although it was the Duke of Zhenguo and Su Yunhe who presented the evidence of Su Qingqing's treason, the Marquis of Rong'an did not do nothing either.
For a time, the entire court was in turmoil because of the Xishan Camp incident.
And in the midst of this chaos and filth of evil spirits and monsters, a piece of news came.
The envoys from Southern Liang will arrive in the capital of Dayan soon.
Although the Xishan Camp incident involved Southern Liang spies, these spies were ultimately not people who could be shown in public. No matter how angry the emperor was, he could not use this matter to vent his anger on the Southern Liang envoys.
After all, the Great Yan Kingdom also had spies in Southern Liang.
Political espionage depends on one's ability.
It's a skill to catch it, but if you can't, you will suffer a loss and there is no way to argue. As long as one of the two countries does not destroy the other, they should get along with each other on the surface.
The emperor has always been very polite. When the envoys came to visit, the empress, as the mother of a country, could no longer stay in Lotus Mountain to reflect on her mistakes.
As soon as the news reached Kyoto, the emperor ordered people to bring the empress dowager back to the palace, and at the same time ended the second prince's house arrest ahead of schedule.
This was a cause for celebration for the Second Prince's party.
When the envoys arrived, a grand banquet was held in the palace.
As the Crown Princess, Su Qingqing naturally had to attend.
In front of the dressing table, Jixiang tied up Su Qingqing's hair and put a flower in it, "Madam, this envoy from Nanliang must have bad intentions."
Indignant, Jixiang pouted and huffed.
Su Qingqing looked at her in the bronze mirror, "Does our Jixiang know how to analyze the political situation?"
Jixiang snorted and said, "Do I need to analyze this? Wasn't General Su of Great Yan State wrongly accused of collaborating with the enemy of Southern Liang? If it weren't for the cooperation of Southern Liang, how could Su Yunhe and his men succeed? So, harming loyal and good people is not a good thing."
Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing, "How do you know that the court officials of the Great Yan Kingdom have never harmed the loyal officials of the Southern Liang Kingdom?"
Jixiang looked at Su Qingqing speechlessly.
Su Qingqing said to her through the bronze mirror: "Different political positions have nothing to do with good or bad. Nanliang has harmed General Su, which is a great thing for Nanliang. They have one less strong enemy on the battlefield. The people of Nanliang are so happy.
The bad ones are not the envoys from the Southern Liang, but those corrupt officials in the imperial court who eat the salary from the Great Yan Kingdom but secretly collude with the Southern Liang to harm their compatriots. "
Jixiang did not accept this statement. "Anyway, the one who killed General Su is not a good person. I, Jixiang, am not targeting people, but things."
Su Qingqing chuckled, "You haven't even met General Su, how can you be so critical of him?"
"She has the same name as the master. How could a bad person named Su Qingqing be possible!" Jixiang smiled with her eyes curved and stuck out her tongue at Su Qingqing. She was not afraid at all that Su Qingqing would scold her for calling her by her name without any respect.
After pinning the last pearl flower, Su Qingqing smiled and stood up, stretched out her hand and pinched Jixiang's little face, "This mouth is really good at talking, there is no law at all."
Jixiang was pulled by Su Qingqing on one side of his face, and he was mumbling, "I didn't say anything wrong, otherwise why would Your Majesty avenge her? Your Majesty must not be wrong, how could the princess of our Zhao Kingdom have any bad intentions!"
Su Qingqing smiled and let go of her hand. "Okay, I won't argue with you any more. The time is almost up, let's go to the palace."
"Your Highness is not going?"
Just as Jixiang finished speaking, Rongque came in from outside.
Ever since that day when they were drinking and chatting under the flower stand, Rong Que avoided Su Qingqing for several days.
He always felt that the Princess of Zhao had some magical powers that could make him lose his mind.
Rong Que stood at the door with a wooden face, "Have you packed? You can't be late for the palace today."
Su Qingqing stepped forward, walked to Rong Que, and smiled at him, "Your Highness, are you not hiding from me today?"
She said it bluntly. Rong Que's face froze slightly, and he said dryly, "I have never avoided you."
Su Qingqing smiled and curled her lips, "Really? No? Then it seems that I am not a charming female demon."
Rong Que: ...
Before Rong Que could react, Su Qingqing suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "When we enter the palace today, Your Highness must act like a loving couple with me. You can't hide from me like this."
As she spoke, her hot breath hit Rong Que's ears.
Maybe it was because the heat was too hot or something, but Rong Que felt like one of his ears was burning.
My tailbone suddenly felt numb.
He had never felt anything like this before.
wrong!
That was the feeling when he carried that person back home when she was drunk on the boat and secretly kissed her on the cheek while she was drunk.
The person he deeply loves is obviously the great general Su Qingqing of the Great Yan State, so why does he now have the same feeling towards the Princess Su Qingqing of the Zhao State?
The heat surged around him, Rong Que dodged impatiently and turned to walk out, "Just talk, don't get so close!"
The carriage was ready early in the morning and the two men got on one after another.
The fragrant carriage rumbled straight to the palace.
Rong Que hid far away before getting on the carriage, but when getting off, at the palace gate, he patiently helped Su Qingqing out of the carriage.
Loving in front of others.
Su Qingqing walked beside Rong Que, gloating miserably, "Your Highness, can I ask you something? What kind of monster am I? Why are you hiding from me?
You didn’t want to pay attention to me before because you doubted me.
Now that we are cooperating perfectly, why is Your Highness still hiding?"
The two walked very close to each other.
The thin clothes cannot block the temperature of my body.
The temperature of Su Qingqing's arm rubbed against his arm, and Rong Que felt that half of his arm had lost consciousness. This feeling made him irritated. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Shut up. Cooperation between you and me is cooperation, but there is no need to be too close. If there is anything that needs cooperation, I will notify you. If not, then there is no need."
Su Qingqing:!
wipe!
" If it weren't for the sake of a pleasant cooperation, do you think I would be willing to coax you!" Su Qingqing rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? Are you a dog? You turn against me as soon as you say so. Do you think I owe you anything? Don't take yourself too seriously. I can still do my own thing without you!"
Rong Que didn't care that he was in the palace at the moment, and turned to look at Su Qingqing in surprise:?
Su Qingqing didn't even look at the bastard. Due to her loving character, she didn't just walk away. Although she was still walking beside Rong Que, she kept a slight distance between them.
The warmth in his arm suddenly disappeared, and Rong Que suddenly felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.
