Chapter 125 Su Mingyue, give up on this idea
"Cheng'en, this matter is of great importance. Tell me what happened before you were poisoned." Marquis Zhongyong's face also darkened.
When the capital received the news of the battle of Gu'an, people seemed to be mixed with sadness and joy. After all, the War King died in the battle and the northern border suffered heavy losses.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had also carefully read the Northern Frontier battle reports. The Nanqing army was led by Ning He. While not as notorious as the War King, he also came from a century-old military family. Although a bastard, he was extremely talented in leading troops in battle, but his methods were eccentric and unscrupulous.
It can also be considered an evil star.
Of the six kingdoms, Southern Qing was the most powerful, while Eastern Chu was separated from them by the Southern Qiang. However, during the Battle of Gu'an, Southern Qing did not seek passage through the Southern Qiang. Instead, it reached an agreement with the Northern Di of Eastern Chu's northern border, aiding the Second Prince of Northern Border and launching the unexpected Battle of Gu'an.
No one expected that the Nanqing army would actually take the route from the northern border. After all, Nanqing is also a southerner, and fighting in the north is inherently a long-range battle.
In order to transfer troops to the northern border, the only way was to pass through Xining without the knowledge of Dong Chu.
The Battle of Gu'an was a deliberate move by Nanqing.
In fact, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery knew that the turmoil in the Northern Frontier was initiated by Nanqing, and even Xining and other countries were standing by and watching. But their goal was to make Jun Wuzui die in the Northern Frontier and never return.
Lu Jing went there to gain military merit.
By the time the capital received the news of Nanqing's military deployment, it was already too late. The long and drawn-out Battle of Gu'an was a show for the Dongchu court and other kingdoms.
After all, there were problems with the War King's supplies at that time.
Regardless of victory or defeat, for those who secretly planned this, as long as Jun Wuzui was still alive, they had lost.
After all, Dongchu is the first step for Nanqing to conquer the world.
It is absolutely impossible for Jun Wuzui to be alive.
Everyone had their own calculations, but their goals were the same. As the first person to surrender to Dong Chu, Marquis Zhongyong knew more about Zong Kui's plans.
But he didn't even tell the princess about this.
Although the eldest princess was the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, she was also a princess of the royal family, born into the Jun family. She hated Prince Zhan because she was determined to emulate Empress Dowager Xie and seek regentship. However, with Prince Zhan around, there was no room for a married princess like her to have a say in the court.
Now the emperor finally waited until Empress Dowager Xie returned power to the emperor, but Prince Zhan's strength was also a source of worry for him.
To Queen Mother Xie, Jun Wuzui was just a weed that she failed to eradicate. Now that the Dongchu government was stable, he had lost his role long ago and it was time for him to go back home.
The forces in the court each have their own origins and plans.
Over the years, the War King has acted ruthlessly, cleaned up the bureaucracy, and severely punished corruption. He has almost stood on the opposite side of the powerful people in Dongchu.
So in the Battle of Gu'an, everyone was not looking at the outcome of the battle, but the fate of the generals.
The death of the War King caused heavy casualties in the Northern Frontier, but it also gave many sons of nobles in the capital the opportunity to rise to prominence by taking advantage of vacancies in the military.
These people were the most nervous when the War King returned this time. That's why so many people took advantage of the situation last night to try to take advantage of the situation.
But even so, it still failed.
Even Zong Kui himself failed to kill Jun Wuzui, but instead gave Jun Wuzui the opportunity to take control of the capital.
He will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and Marquis Zhongyong must prepare countermeasures in advance.
The princess was unwilling to listen to the father and son discussing the boring military reports from the Northern Frontier. She frowned and looked at Su Mingyue, who was cowering beside her: "Come out with me!"
Su Mingyue's eyes went dark. She really didn't want to get along with the eldest princess at this time, but she dared not disobey the eldest princess' order.
"Are you sure you can prepare the antidote for my son now?!" The eldest princess had lost her patience at this point, her brows were filled with deep anger, and she wished she could vent all her pent-up anger on the woman in front of her.
"Mingyue, it should be possible." Su Mingyue's back was covered in cold sweat. She was shocked by Lu Jing's appearance after testing the medicine last night. That was the recipe that Su Jixue had originally prepared for Lu Jing. She had even tried the recipe that had brought her closest to success, but it hadn't worked.
"What do you mean by 'should'? Don't forget what your mother promised you." The eldest princess said with a sinister look on her face, "If you dare to joke with the prince's life, I will skin you alive!"
Su Mingyue was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud. "I brought all the prescriptions with me this time. I'm sure I can make a suitable medicine. It just takes time to test it."
Su Mingyue actually no longer has any hope of saving Lu Jing, but Su Jixue had also tried many medicines for a long time before figuring out the correct prescription. Now she just wants to buy time.
When the time comes, mother will definitely find a way to save her. As long as she stays in the princess's mansion for a long time, even father will not be able to ignore it.
As long as she can get through this period, she will definitely see the light.
"Time?" The eldest princess's brows were filled with anger. "Do you take me for a fool?! How many prescriptions do you have? I'll find as many people as you want to test them on. Just to see which one is most effective."
"Huh?" Su Mingyue was surprised. "The test drug must be the same poison as the one in the prince's body."
"Nonsense! This is exactly what I'm talking about." The eldest princess looked at Su Mingyue as if she were an idiot: "Otherwise, how can it be called a drug test?"
"Mingyue has nearly a hundred prescriptions here." Su Mingyue's face looked grim. These were the ones that Su Jixue had mixed and tried one medicine at a time.
Now the Princess is looking for nearly a hundred people to help the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery test the medicine?!
"Then I'll gather a hundred people for you. The servants in the Princess's Mansion are at your disposal, and the kitchen staff can also help. You must try all the recipes within today." The eldest princess glared at Su Mingyue fiercely: "My son's health cannot be delayed!"
"But even if there are enough people, there are still not enough stoves in the princess's mansion." Su Mingyue tried to make a last-ditch effort. With more than a hundred prescriptions to be made in a day, how many stoves would be needed to boil the medicine?
"This is not your concern. You are only responsible for ensuring that every medicine is prepared correctly. As for the stove and herbs, I will find someone to get them myself." The eldest princess knew that this must be a big deal, but it didn't matter. Whether it was the Imperial Medical Bureau in the palace or the Queen Mother's private treasury, it was enough for her.
"Yes." Su Mingyue lowered her head in despair, her eyes rolling around, wondering if she still had any chance to prolong this time.
But the eldest princess seemed to have seen through her thoughts and warned slowly, "Drug testing involves my son's life. Don't try any tricks. If you can't cure Jing'er, Su Mingyue, you'd better think about your own fate!"
"Princess, please be wise. Mingyue would never dare to play tricks. After all, Mingyue only has the prince in her heart, and she wholeheartedly wishes the best for him!" Su Mingyue quickly raised her eyes and swore.
"puff!"
The eldest princess couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Su Mingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, with disdain: "I know very well who saved you, my son. How dare you covet my son even now?"
"Su Mingyue, take a piss and look in the mirror. Give up on this idea!"
