Song Wan returned to Yi Pavilion holding the porcelain vase with Nan Qing's unique mark. Shen Qianyu saw that she was absent-minded and stepped forward to ask.
"Wan'er feeling unwell?"
Song Wan shook his head and spread his palms.
Shen Qianyu looked down and took the thing away from her hand.
"I've been looking for someone..."
That method was really bad. He didn't want to tell Song Wan about it. Shen Qianyu thought about it and said, "I asked Wan Xiao to go find the people in Dongchang. You don't have to dirty your hands."
He gently touched Song Wan's cheek and said softly: "Someone once said that you are a crystal person who couldn't be more clean. You shouldn't do these things. I have everything."
Although Song Wan didn't know who had said this to her, she had no intention of asking about such unimportant matters at the moment.
Raising his hand to take back the porcelain vase from Shen Qianyu's palm, Song Wan held it in his hand with his eyelids slightly drooping: "It doesn't matter whether it's clean or not."
"The most important thing for people to live in the world is magnanimity. I have respected the way of a gentleman since I was a child. However, a gentleman is not someone who is willing to do anything in his face, nor is he always weak and can be bullied."
"I don't care about ordinary things because I don't care enough about them, but Qingling..."
Song Wan raised his eyes: "Qing Ling should not suffer this disaster in vain, you..."
Putting his hand gently on Shen Qianyu's shoulder, Song Wan said: "You don't deserve this humiliation either."
She held the porcelain bottle and looked calmly: "Some things can't be done, but they have to be done."
Shang Rong was right, Qin Rao could not die in Dongning, but since there was bound to be a battle in Dongning and Nanqing, she could not let Qin Rao live so peacefully, as if nothing had ever happened. Those who were hurt by her and died because of her should be comforted.
She knew that Shen Qianyu had taken action, but she also had people she wanted to protect.
For those people, she needed to make herself do something.
Song Wan tightly grasped the medicine and said with red eyes: "I will not interfere with His Highness' important affairs, so today I ask, how far can I do it?"
Shen Qianyu said warmly: "She cannot die in Dongning Palace, and the other Wan'er can do whatever they want."
Pulling the person into his arms, Shen Qianyu muttered: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you and Qi Liangyuan was injured."
“No one thought of it.”
No one would have thought that Qin Rao could be so arrogant, and no one would have guessed that she wanted to provoke a dispute between the two countries.
"Qin Rao will not appear in the palace during this period. If Wan'er wants to take action, he can only wait until there is a banquet in the palace on July 7th. During this period, if you need anything, you can ask Wan Xiao for help."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Why do you and I need to say thank you?"
Holding the person in his arms, Shen Qianyu sighed softly: "I'm afraid I won't be at ease for a while."
Song Wan said: "I don't know how long the peace between Dongning and Nanqing can last."
"It shouldn't be long."
The two hugged each other tenderly for a moment, then Wan Xiao came to look for Shen Qianyu. When they left Song Wan, they held the porcelain bottle in their hands and thought secretly.
Early the next morning, she took a few books and went to Shang Rong's palace to look for Zhang Baozhen.
After telling a few people about her thoughts, Wu Xixiang said: "Although this nail rake is easy to get, it is really cheap for her. I have a good item."
"My cousin is the supervisor of the Royal Horse Department. He has something that Wan'er can use."
Zhang Baozhen said: "I smelled the medicinal powder carefully yesterday. There is a medicine in it that is rare in Dongning. I have asked my cousin to find it. I think it will take three to five days."
Zhao Nanzhang's eyes were slightly red, and he said with a faint smile: "Someone will take action on that day, and I will be the one to avenge Qing Ling with my own hands."
Song Wan shook his head: "No one needs to do it personally. I have my own way. If I don't handle it properly, the Holy Master will be held accountable in the future."
"No matter how careful the plan is, it can't guarantee that there will be no accidents. We only have this one chance to take action. If we want to be foolproof, we always need someone to back it up."
"I used to be the best with Qing Ling, but I couldn't bear her being hurt the most."
Zhao Nanzhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and murmured: "We have all been through difficulties along the way, and we cherish this sisterly relationship the most. Wan'er, you used to be taciturn and never lively. But even you are so cold outside. Even my temper can’t suppress that anger, how can I endure it?”
"I know that our sisters want to do something for Qing Ling, so just let me go and do it myself."
Zhao Nanzhang curled his lips and sneered, his eyes bursting with fierceness.
"Xiao Mingxiang said that she has the best archery skills in the Six Arts of Junzi. Who knew that I was also good at archery and defense when I was young? Wan'er, you are weak and cannot wield such things. Don't take revenge and suffer the consequences instead."
After Zhao Nanzhang finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt and made a bow gesture. It only took a few moments for everyone to know that what she said was true and not just a show.
Song Wan's eyes turned red. Even in the Song Mansion, she and Song Yao and Song Nian had never had such mutual support.
Lu Youjun just got over her fever this morning, but she couldn't bear to recuperate in her own palace, so she and Yinghong came to Shang Rong's palace early in the morning with rolled up pillows. Now she is still lying on the bed, crying and asking questions after hearing this What can I do to help?
Song Wan thought for a moment and said, "You stay with me, and I'll make bait that day."
After Qin Rao injured Qing Ling, she was the one who received the second whip. This shows that Qin Rao was hostile to her. If she appeared that day, Qin Rao would be fooled.
Shang Rong saw them discussing something and shook her head helplessly.
Song Wan did this because he was afraid that the prince had the intention of war with Nan Qing, so she thought for a moment and could only follow everyone away.
After everything was discussed, Song Wan and Zhang Baozhen developed the recipe for Nanqing's secret medicine every day, while Zhao Nanzhang went back and forth to the Imperial Garden every day.
After five busy days, Song Wan was finally blocked in Laiyi Pavilion by Shen Qianyu.
"I haven't seen Wan'er for a long time. What has Wan'er been busy with these days?"
There was a hint of sadness in the man's tone, and Song Wan smiled slightly when he heard this. She told Shen Qianyu about her plan with Wu Xixiang and others, and after the explanation, Song Wan said, "Qin Rao will be furious once this comes out, but I don't know if she will be able to hold back her anger and take action against Dongning."
"meeting."
Shen Qianyu said: "Qin Rao is traveling to Dongning this time and has an elite force of more than 7,000 people. This is for Qin Zhan to save her life."
"Although Qin Zhan is mad, he has nothing to say to Qin Rao. This time he left this elite force for Qin Rao to take out of Nanqing. I guess he may not be able to support the struggle with King Ning and Lady Grace. Letting Qin Rao come to Dongning, I also wanted to leave her the last way to survive."
He had just received a letter from Liu Changque the day before yesterday. He knew that Qin Rao was secretly leading his troops, and he thought that the elite troops were broken into pieces and he didn't know where they were guarding. The two countries are far away. He didn't know what happened to Qin Zhan when he received this message. If he was unlucky, he might not know that Nanqing has changed its dynasty now.
If Qin Zhan was really forced into a desperate situation, and with his temperament, he would definitely fight back before his death, Nanqing would be as vulnerable as a candle in the wind.
He is now waiting for Liu Changque's second letter. If his suspicion is true, he will never give Nan Qing a chance to recuperate.
"At that time, Qin Rao will regret it halfway, and I will have a way to force her to show her strength."
"Nanqing's military strength is strong, and even seven thousand elites are difficult to deal with. Has Your Highness already thought of a countermeasure?"
Shen Qianyu said: "Wan'er, do you remember Master Yan Tongfu?"
Song Wan nodded: "Of course, Mr. Yan is my brother-in-law and the minister of the Ministry of War."
"Ming Chun, the sixth son of the British Duke, is a military general. Although I have no military power, when the time comes I will report and lead the troops to conquer personally. Lord Yan and my father-in-law will support me, and Ming Chun will also go south with me."
"When I have the tiger talisman in my hand, I can do a lot more."
