563. Poisoning
Jiang He's heart sank, and he subconsciously hid the stack of secret letters that Xia Lishuang gave him.
"Come in!"
Jiang Shu smiled, lifted the curtain and walked in.
"You see you've lost a lot of weight on the march these days! I made white fungus lotus seed soup, you eat a little bit, rest early, don't be too late! ”
Jiang Shu smiled sweetly, and whoever looked at it felt that this was just a sister who cared about her brother should do.
But Jiang He's heart became more and more cold.
"It's okay, you can leave it there, I'll rest later!" Jiang He didn't raise his head either.
Seeing this, Jiang Shu didn't say anything, just said softly and caringly, "Then you remember to drink soup!" ”
Jiang He nodded with a smile and sent Jiang Shu away.
The bowl of soup in front of him didn't show anything unusual, and even exuded a sweet aroma.
But the pointer in Jiang He's heart is still biased.
He gritted his teeth, and finally found a silver needle, and carefully reached into the soup.
The color of the silver needle suddenly turned black.
Jiang He's eyes widened, and he covered his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
……
The next day, the excerpts from the imperial court were finally sent thousands of miles away.
Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang approached together, looking at the twists and turns, and the eyes of the two of them showed a little surprise at the same time.
On the excerpt, he first verbally praised Xia Lishuang for using his soldiers like a god to pacify Sichuan and Shu at such a fast speed, and then criticized him for not taking good care of the prisoners.
However...... What surprised both Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang was that the name of the Emperor of Lan was actually mentioned in Emperor Lao'er's excerpt.
The approximate meaning is that he has received a secret letter from the Emperor of Lan, in which the Emperor of Languo has carefully explained the internal situation to him, and also knows the news that King Yu is about to send troops to Sichuan and Shu, so he took the initiative to say that if Rongguo is willing to let Lan Guo go now, Lan Guo will bow down in the future......
After reading the letter, Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang still grew their mouths at the same time, and their jaws were about to fall to the ground.
The emperor of a country took the initiative to propose to the emperor of the enemy country to bow down, which in itself is inconceivable enough.
But in the current situation, Wen Ranran can understand that this decision may be made by her biological father.
Lan Guo is now taking care of himself, the second prince and Jiang Shu are both restless masters, if they really provoke a war, then it must be cheaper for those who have a heart.
Among the five countries, Anguo was destroyed, Bin was weak, and it was a matter of time before it was annexed, and only Yan and Rong were pitted for tat.
Lan is located in the southwest, a corner of peace has been a long time, and the emperor at that time was just a momentary mood.
Now that he has offended Rongguo and taken the initiative to provoke a war, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
The letter also said that the emperor of Lan knew that his two sons, the crown prince's personality was too mediocre, and he was suitable for governing the world but not for the current situation.
And the second prince and the prime minister's mansion behind him, are even more eyeing each other, if there is a real fight, please also ask Rongguo to send troops to help, once the war in the southwest is calmed down, Lan Guo has since become a vassal, bowing down to the ministers and paying tribute.
It was a difficult decision, but in a way, it was the smartest.
Wen Ranran took a deep breath, her tone a little difficult.
"I kind of know now...... Why did Rongguo expand its territory in a big way back then, but Lan Guo was able to live in a corner of peace under such circumstances. ”
Sometimes, taking a step back is not to give in, but to develop in the long run.
Xia Lishuang also nodded approvingly.
"When I was young, I only saw the Emperor of Lan State a few times at the court banquet, and he was an elegant person."
Wen Ranran bit her lip and raised her eyes to look at Xia Lishuang.
"Then you say...... Could he really be my father? ”
