Chapter 246: The Queen’s Handiwork
Wanyan Tuda's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Queen Dayun with displeasure.
This trip to Dayan was actually a bit presumptuous. Wanyan Honglie had been on a diplomatic mission to Dayan before, and after returning to the desert, he told about his visit here. The king's brother, Wanyan Tuteng, was furious because Wanyan Honglie had insulted his ancestors, and had been trying to take the opportunity to start a dispute.
It was he and several senior officials in the court who strenuously opposed it, which suppressed the matter.
After all, the people of the world would be the most affected by a war. The Central Plains Great Yan State was rich in resources and had high production capacity, so the best path was to coexist peacefully, vigorously develop agriculture and animal husbandry, and jointly develop productivity.
This time, the princess brought Wanyan Xing to Dayan, hoping to find an opportunity to meet the Emperor of Dayan to fulfill her daughter's wish. She hoped that after Wanyan Xing hit a wall, he would give up this unrealistic idea and stop doing it. However, she was unexpectedly arrested by the Dayan police chief and thrown into prison for slandering Prince Yu and his wife.
When the news of this incident spread back to the desert, King Wanyan Tuteng was eager to go to war again. He had no choice but to step forward and volunteered to go to Dayan to investigate the matter.
Even if he disliked Liu Yiyi in his heart, this was a major matter concerning the situation of the Desert Country and the friendly diplomacy between the two countries.
Great Yan was a nation of propriety, with strict laws and a peaceful and prosperous people. He believed Great Yan would not act recklessly. Therefore, his visit this time was naturally a matter of courtesy before force. Even if it was due to his past friendship with the King of Great Yan, Prince Jiajing, he still had to treat him with courtesy.
"Please, Lord Yun, explain this matter!"
Wanyan Tuda asked with a dark face.
Knowing that Prince Jiajing valued offspring above all else, he specially brought two gold- and jade-inlaid hand-clapping drums as a gift when he learned that Prince Yu and his wife had recently given birth to twins. While waiting outside the palace gates for his summons, he encountered the King of Dayun, who was also waiting outside. After a brief conversation, the two entered the palace together.
I wonder what the Queen of Dayun has against Dayan. She's been so sarcastic since arriving at the palace! And the gift he gave the child has a clue. It's definitely connected to the King of Dayun, who's skilled in witchcraft!
He naturally couldn't tolerate the fact that someone tampered with the hand drum and tried to drag him in!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Hahaha, Prince Da is joking. To falsely accuse me in broad daylight is not what a man does! Princess Yu has the most say in this matter, right? Did you take this hand-clapping drum from Prince Da?"
Queen Dayun looked gloating. "Humph! This Fang Qingqing is just a lowly woman from a merchant family, yet she's usurping the position of Princess Yu, leaving her daughter, Zhan Nishang, feeling incredibly frustrated. Even if her daughter doesn't care, as a mother, she's determined to help her daughter vent her anger!"
The show is about to begin! The poisonous insect that had entered Fang Qingqing's hand was a blood-sucking insect. If Fang Qingqing refused to yield, the blood-sucking insect would suck blood crazily from her body, leaving her unable to live or die!
"I am not a talented person, but I have some medical experience. If I am not mistaken, it was a poisonous insect that bit me. As everyone knows, the Queen of Dayun Kingdom is an expert in raising poisonous insects. As the saying goes, only those who dare to do it can take responsibility for it! In this regard, the Queen is far inferior to Princess Nishang!"
Fang Qingqing said with a smile on her face.
After several rounds, she had a good understanding of the personalities of the two uninvited guests.
As expected of the former crown prince of the Great Desert Kingdom, Wanyan Tuda was prudent and thoughtful. Even without clarifying their identities, Fang Qingqing's heart was already leaning towards him. Add to that the hostile attitude of the Queen of Dayun Kingdom, and it was clear that this matter was definitely a plot by the Queen of Dayun Kingdom.
"you……"
The Queen of Dayun Kingdom has always been arrogant. She was confronted as soon as she arrived in Dayan, so she was naturally indignant.
"Everyone has come from afar to attend the Emperor's grandson's full moon banquet. Thank you for your hard work. Please join us for a drink..."
Seeing the Queen of Dayun's unfriendly expression, Prince Jiajing knew she must be here because of Zhan Nishang. He was the one who had arranged the marriage, and as the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. In this case, he had to mediate and mediate.
"Princess Nishang is currently staying at the Jixiang Garden in Fang Mansion, the home of Princess Yu. After the banquet, you can invite the princess and the queen to meet at the inn..."
Prince Jiajing said with a smile.
"Ah? You mean, you mean, Shang'er lives in Princess Yu's family home?"
Queen Dayun was a little bit incredulous. Shang'er had been spoiled and willful since she was a child. She had to get what she wanted. In order to become the Princess of Yu, she was even willing to give up the throne and willingly become the Prince of Yu's concubine. After giving so much and making such great sacrifices, she was still rejected!
If it were up to her temper, she and Fang Qingqing would definitely be irreconcilable! After finally getting Fang Qingqing and Li Zhenting to divorce, and then watching them get back together, not only was she not angry, she even ran off to live at the Fang family's house?
I really can't figure it out.
The queen really couldn't believe that her daughter could do such a thing.
"Princess Nishang is my mother's savior. During the campaign against the Xiao Kingdom, she accompanied the prince as a military doctor and performed great service. On her way back, Princess Nishang also successfully rescued Prince Pingnan's adopted daughter, Xue'er. It's only natural that Princess Nishang, as a distinguished member of our Fang Mansion, should live here and become a guest of honor."
Fang Qingqing smiled and said, "Haha, when dealing with a woman as high and mighty as Queen Dayun, you can't just go head-to-head. Knowing that Princess Nishang is the one she cares about the most, let's start with Princess Nishang to resolve this crisis."
As for the poisonous insect she had placed in her body, even if it was harmful to her body, I believe no one would dare to harm her life. I believe that if Princess Nishang knew that the Queen had done this, she would definitely be dissatisfied with the Queen. Even if the Queen did not help her to remove the poison, Princess Nishang would take the initiative to help.
So, she doesn't have to worry at all.
She looked up and smiled at Wanyan Tuda who had been staring at her, and politely asked King Da and Queen to take a seat.
I think that when King Da saw her appearance clearly, he must have had some doubts in his mind.
Her features were identical to those of Prince Da, while Wanyan Xing had none of his traits. Previously, Yuan Qing had mentioned the story of the cat-for-prince substitution to Wanyan Tuda, leading to Liu Yiyi's subsequent frame-up and subsequent conspiracy. This had driven him to run away from home in anger and become a high monk at Taohua Temple.
As long as we find the right opportunity and let Yuan Qing meet King Nada, the truth about his life will be revealed.
The war was resolved with just a few words from Fang Qingqing, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Zhenting's face was pale. He ignored the gazes of the ministers and directly grabbed Fang Qingqing's left palm that was bitten by the poisonous insect in public.
There was an obvious bite mark on the palm of her hand. Dayun Country was the best at using all kinds of poisons, so they were worried that it would have an impact on her body!
"Don't worry, if she really wanted to harm me, she wouldn't do it in public."
Fang Qingqing smiled lightly. On the territory of Dayan, no matter how much the Queen of Dayun disapproved of her, she had to be cautious.
