Chapter 111 Angry Nan Ruoqing
Everyone looked at Yan Wuque as if they were watching a good show, then looked at the Third Princess of Southern Xinjiang, and they all knew that there would be something to come next.
Emperor Suwen looked at Yan Wuque with great interest, as if he was gloating over his misfortune.
"The third princess of Southern Xinjiang, right? I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Although my husband is handsome and elegant, unfortunately he is not your type. He already has a wife, two concubines, and dozens of concubines. According to the ancestral system, he can only marry a maid," Yun Yuxi said with a smile.
"Brother Emperor, I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first," Yan Wuque said to Emperor Suwen. Emperor Suwen nodded. He was also unwilling to let Yan Wuque get help from southern Xinjiang.
"Yu'er, let's go." After saying that, Yun Yuxi pushed Yan Wuque away.
This made Nan Ruoqing very angry. Her face turned pale and blue, and she said angrily, "Hey. Come back here..." Everyone tried not to laugh and felt very uncomfortable.
"Hahaha!" Finally someone couldn't help laughing out loud, and then the laughter continued one after another.
Nan Ruoqing's face turned red from being laughed at. She glared at those people fiercely, turned around and ran away.
"Yu'er, you are so awesome!" Yan Wuque said to Yun Yuxi with a smile.
"Hmph, who told her to have the guts to set her sights on you?" Yun Yuxi said coquettishly.
The two smiled at each other and walked out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, my sister was just fooling around and playing a joke on the Regent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Thank you for your hospitality today. The journey to Southern Xinjiang is long and I am a little tired. I will take my sister back to Sifang Pavilion to rest first and will come to bother Your Majesty again tomorrow." Nan Ruoming, the eldest prince of Southern Xinjiang, said respectfully.
"My son, you will be responsible for receiving the envoys," the emperor said, pointing at the fifth prince Yan Minglang.
"Your son obeys your command," said the fifth prince neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Then he took Nan Ruoming and his sister to Sifang Pavilion.
"Royal brother, the regent is too abominable, and the regent princess is too bullying. I am so angry. If you don't believe me, I will definitely make them pay." Nan Ruoqing said gritting her teeth.
"Qing'er! Don't do anything reckless! This is the Great Yan Dynasty, not our Southern Xinjiang. Don't ruin my plan this time. Otherwise, I will not forgive you! Also, Yan Wuque is not someone you can dream of, and the Emperor of Great Yan will never allow you to do such a thing." Nan Ruoming reprimanded Nan Ruoqing with a serious face, with a hint of warning and reproach in his tone.
Nan Ruoqing lowered her head, a trace of embarrassment on her face. She bit her lip lightly and whispered, "Brother, I understand. It's just that when I saw that princess, I recognized her as the bastard I met on the street during the day, so I did this on impulse. I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
"Go to bed early, there are many important things to do tomorrow," Nan Ruoming said and returned to his room.
Nan Ruoming changed into a nightgown and quickly headed towards the palace.
"Empress, do you remember me?" Nan Ruoming said.
The queen looked at Nan Ruoming, who was dressed in black, in horror and nodded.
"Empress, I need to borrow three million dan of grain. If this fails, I can't guarantee that I will give the ice silkworms to Yan Wuque. Do you still remember the deal you made with this prince?"
Nan Ruoming looked at the Queen with a solemn expression, with a hint of determination and resoluteness in his eyes. He knew that if he could not get enough food, he would not be able to complete his plan, nor could he protect his family and country. The ice silkworm, as a precious treasure, was extremely attractive to Yan Wuque. If he gave the ice silkworm to Yan Wuque, he could not only exchange it for a lot of wealth and power, but also get Yan Wuque's support and protection. However, he did not want to be a traitor, and he did not want to put his country in crisis. Therefore, he decided to ask the Queen for help, hoping to get her help and support.
The Queen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Three million dan is too much, at most two million dan. I will persuade Your Majesty, and I will give you another 100,000 dan in private."
Nan Ruoming's heart sank, but he still nodded to show his agreement. Although it was only two million dan, it was the greatest help the Queen could provide. He looked at the Queen gratefully, then turned and left the room.
However, just as Nan Ruoming was about to leave, the Queen suddenly said, "I would like to make a deal with you. I want a pair of mother-child Gu."
Nan Ruoming stopped and looked back at the Queen. The Zimu Gu is a very rare insect that can control a person's thoughts and behavior. This insect is very dangerous. Once controlled by someone, it is difficult to escape its control. Nan Ruoming was a little confused and didn't know why the Queen was interested in Zimu Gu. But he still replied, "One hundred thousand dan of grain."
The Queen smiled and said, "Deal."
Nan Ruoming hesitated for a moment, then took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and handed it to the Queen. The bamboo tube contained a pair of mother-child Gu, which he had obtained at a huge cost. He knew that handing the mother-child Gu to the Queen might bring some risks, but he believed that the Queen would not use it easily. Moreover, he also needed the Queen's support and help to complete his plan.
The Queen took the bamboo tube, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, she said, "Thank you, Nan Ruoming. I will abide by our agreement."
Nan Ruoming nodded, then turned and left the room. He knew that this transaction was of great significance to him. Not only did it solve the food problem, but he also got the support and help of the Queen. He believed that as long as he had enough time and resources, he would be able to achieve his goal and save his country and people.
The night was deep and the palace was quiet. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the Queen's palace, alerting the guards.
The secret guard quickly caught up and tracked all the way to the vicinity of Sifang Pavilion before stopping.
"Your Highness. A man in black was spotted in the Queen's palace. I followed him all the way to the Sifang Pavilion," the secret guard reported to Yan Wuque.
"Keep watching, don't alert the enemy," Yan Wuque whispered.
"It seems that my poison is related to the Queen," Yan Wuque thought to himself.
At the same time, the Queen's bedroom was brightly lit.
"Madame Li, please tell my father to come to the palace tomorrow," the Queen said softly, lying tiredly on the bed.
"Your Majesty, you must be careful! I think the prince of Southern Xinjiang is not a good person. Cooperating with such a person is undoubtedly courting disaster," Madam Li advised worriedly.
The Queen sighed softly: "I know this, but we have no other choice now. We can only take a risk and hope that everything will go well." Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and determination.
Nanny Li looked at the Empress with concern, her eyes full of worry. But she knew that the Empress had made up her mind, so she said no more and quietly withdrew to prepare for the delivery of the message.
