Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 468 Stubbornness
After Emperor Jing left, Su Zhiyuan and Su Wang were really much more at ease. Su Qingyan had a habit of taking a nap, the couple knew about it, and seeing her holding on to her spirits and chatting with them, the couple felt very distressed.

"Ninny, there will be opportunities in the future. If you are sleepy, go to rest. There are still many things at home. Your father and I will go back first."

Looking at Su Qingyan, Su Wangshi spoke with a distressed face. Although Su Qingyan was reluctant, but because she was too sleepy, she had no choice but to nod in response.

Sending the couple to the gate of Longgan Palace personally, Su Qingyan ordered Zitan and Zisu to send the couple to the gate of the palace.

Seeing the two walking away, Su Qingyan yawned, supported Zixuan's hand, and headed back towards the side hall.

Back in the side hall, Su Qingyan went straight into the inner room, let Zi Xuan tidy up for her, and then lay down on the bed.

In just a short while, Su Qingyan fell asleep.

…………

As Emperor Jing calculated, the news of the Queen's serious illness finally reached Xiao's family. After learning about it, Xiao Yuheng immediately came to the study and asked Xiao Peng for his opinion.

"Find some good medicine and send it to the queen. No matter what, let her persevere. Even if she dies, she must wait for the Xiao family to succeed before she can die!"

Xiao Peng was very upset. He had known for a long time that his daughter was not in good health, and he also knew that she would not be able to survive the age of 30, but he did not expect that the Queen would not even be able to survive this year.

"Father, the empress is seriously ill, and the imperial physicians say that she won't survive this month. Even if you send the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it will be useless. Why not..."

What Xiao Yuheng meant was that it would be of no benefit to anyone to get up early and procrastinate. On this point, he had the same opinion as the counselors, but Xiao Peng was stubborn, so in the past, they were still unable to persuade Xiao Peng.

But it’s different now, it’s a special period right now, if it keeps dragging on and drags the Queen to death, then even if it succeeds, there will be a lot of troubles.

"No, absolutely not now, we must find the right time." Before Xiao Yuheng finished speaking, Xiao Peng opened his mouth, thinking about Xiao Yuheng's words.

"Father, if this goes on like this, the empress might not be able to wait until that time!" Although she is her own sister, at this moment, it is no longer a matter of whether she is her own sister or not.

"Didn't I ask you to send some high-quality medicinal materials? First find a way to hang her life, even if it lasts this month, it's good!"

Xiao Peng thought about it, if the queen really couldn't hold on, in order to be justified, he would send someone to spread false news, making the emperor think that the northwest border had won the battle, and thus held a celebration banquet.

As long as there is such an opportunity, it is possible to get rid of the emperor. At that time, use your own daughter to choose a child who is easy to control, and support him on the throne. As long as you hide behind the scenes and be a person who controls the emperor, That's it.

His father's insistence made Xiao Yuheng even more helpless. He knew that nothing he said would change his father's mind, so he simply stopped talking and retreated directly.

"Remember, find some better medicine, don't be afraid to spend more money, as long as it can hang the queen's life, it will be good!" Seeing Xiao Yuheng walking outside, Xiao Peng opened his mouth and shouted at his back, Xiao Yuheng paused in his footsteps, answered, and then left the study.

…………

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and the sixteenth of June was getting closer.

In the past few days, the battle reports from the Southwest and Northwest borders kept coming back. Naturally, the situation in the Northwest was getting better and better, but the situation in the Southwest was getting tense and bad.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Emperor Jing sat on a chair, frowning and meditating.

Judging from the battle reports that came back, it would be a matter of time before Qing Guo retreated. Presumably, within a few days, he would receive the good news of his retreat.

There is a certain distance between the northwest and the capital, even if Shen Hao writes letters every day, it will be delayed for a while when it is delivered to Emperor Jing.

Of course, the same is true for the southwest border...

It was for this reason that Emperor Jing still didn't know even though the Qing Kingdom had withdrawn its troops. After all, what he saw now was the letter written by Shen Hao some time ago.

Putting aside the letter sent back from the northwest frontier, Emperor Jing reached out to pick up Su Qinghan's letter and read it again.

Because of the delay in the news, what Emperor Jing saw now was outside the southwest border, and he found the news of the Chu army. Emperor Jing thought, since the situation in the northwest border is clear, there will be a fierce battle in the southwest border sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's eyes darkened, and he wrote the general news of Chu State in the letter. Emperor Jing made a calculation and decided to send some grain and grass to the Southwest Border Pass.

If there is a real war with Chu, it will take a while. At this time, food and grass are particularly important.

…………

"General, Prince Ali shouldn't be playing tricks." Entering from the outside, Xue Gang reported everything he had investigated to Su Qinghan.

"Anyway, it's always right to be careful. Once Chu Xing dies, Chu's army will definitely be in chaos. Take advantage of this opportunity to try it out."

In the past, the Chu army had sent troops to provoke, and the two sides had also fought, but they were all point-to-point and did not move the real chapter.

Since the State of Chu can test them, they can naturally test the State of Chu. Thinking of this, Su Qinghan ordered people to call all the lieutenants to the general's mansion.

An hour later, the gate of the Southwest Border Gate was opened, Xing'an's army was walking from the inside of the border, the leading general was holding a long spear in his hand, on which hung this round thing, which looked like a human head.

After advancing for a certain distance, the general waved his hand to signal the army to stop. Immediately, someone urged the horse to go forward and shouted at the Chu army camp.

The army of Chu State did not expect that the people from Xing'an would show up on their own initiative. At first they didn't want to talk to them, after all, something happened just now, but they didn't expect that the soldiers reported that the second prince's head was in the opponent's hands.

Now, the generals of Chu State couldn't sit still.

Who doesn't know that the second prince, Chu Xing, is Emperor Chu's most beloved son. He originally went to the battlefield to build up military exploits and pave the way for his succession to the throne in the future, but he never expected that his life would be claimed by someone in the middle of the night, and his head was gone. .

Originally, his death was enough to make Emperor Chu angry, but now that he has lost his head, he also knows what will happen when Emperor Chu finds out.

Now that I heard that the head is in the hands of General Xing'an, even if they don't want to fight, they have to go out to fight. After all, they have to snatch the head back before they can go and explain to Emperor Chu...
