No one spoke around him. Qin Rao reached out and touched his uneven cheek, and shouted angrily to get the bronze mirror.
The Nanqing palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. When Jiang Man saw this, she imitated Qin Rao's previous madness, covering her lips and bending over to laugh: "You poor bitch, I will be your Dongning war horse." Blessing.”
Qin Rao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly touched his face.
As soon as she moved, blood immediately flowed down her face, blurring her face. Lu Youyun looked scared and walked sideways to Song Wan.
Jiang Man suppressed the smile on his face, glanced at Song Wan and left with a cold sneer.
Qin Rao wanted to continue the entanglement, but Wan Xiao and Jirong came from a distance. When they saw Qin Rao's miserable condition, they couldn't help but remain silent.
After a long time, Wan Xiao said: "The princess is injured, do you need this governor to help you send an imperial doctor?"
"The humiliation of this princess today will be engraved in her heart. Just wait for the day when Nanqing defeats Dongning!"
Qin Rao covered his face with his hands, he was so angry that he could hardly open his mouth. She turned around and strode away, not even paying attention to the Nanqing palace maid beside her.
"Zhao Liangyuan, Lu Liangyuan, and Song Chenghui, there are many things going on in the palace today. I would like to ask you three to go back to the palace to rest early."
"Thank you Lord Governor Wan for the tip."
After Song Wan, Lu Youjun and Zhao Nanzhang saluted, they went to Qi Qingling's Tingyue Pavilion together.
In the past few days, Qi Qingling's song has not subsided, and Shang Rong has been with her for a moment. Zhang Baozhen and Wu Xixiang have been waiting here, waiting for Song Wan and others to come back to tell them whether it can be done.
"What? You said that the seal was put on the princess's face by Concubine Jiang?"
Lu Youjun trembled and said, "We didn't expect to meet Concubine Jiang there. Concubine Jiang didn't know what happened today. She was so scary."
Hearing this, Shang Rong said in a low voice: "Qin Rao was seriously injured and it was not part of your plan. Have you put those things away?"
Song Wan also frowned slightly: "It was indeed not in my imagination."
The two looked at each other, both slightly worried.
"That's all. It's happened. There's no need to think about it anymore."
Song Wan nodded: "The repair of the rockery was reported to the palace a long time ago. The iron was also brought into the palace through many people. It was originally used by the craftsmen who repaired the rock to iron the leather and stir glue. Although it is far-fetched, we can't find it. On the body."
"And there will be Wan Du Lord taking care of the aftermath, so it will definitely be fine."
Even so, Song Wan was still a little worried. The Holy Emperor has been wary of Nan Qing for a long time. Now that Qin Rao has been seriously injured, he may be held accountable to calm Nan Qing's anger. I wonder if there will be side effects.
Shang Rong also knew her worries and gently patted Song Wan's hand to comfort her.
While several people were talking, someone came and reported that the Lu family asked to see Lu Youyun. Lu Youyun left with a frustrated look on his face, and everyone followed suit to leave Qi Qingling to rest.
When she returned to Lai Yi Pavilion, Song Wan saw Shen Qianyu waiting for her. Seeing her coming back, the man's eyes brightened with a hint of surprise.
Song Wan suddenly felt a little shy and wiped his cheek uneasily.
"Don't rub your arms."
Shen Qianyu stepped forward and pulled Song Wan's hand away, hugged her into his arms and kissed her carefully on the cheek and behind the ear.
The two of them rubbed each other's ears for a long time before Shen Qianyu let go of Song Wan who was blushing from head to toe.
"Your Highness..."
Song Wan held the man's chest to prevent him from getting close. He wanted to say how could he suddenly... suddenly be so skilled and enthusiastic about this matter, but when the words came to his lips, he was still too embarrassed to speak.
Shen Qianyu knew what she wanted to say, and his brows and eyes were full of joy.
"Don't ask me, I won't tell you."
He pulled her to the washstand, soaked the handkerchief with his own hands and helped Song Wan clean her face a little bit. After wiping the makeup on her face, he pulled her to the dressing table and helped her remove her hairpin.
"Such a trivial matter is of no concern, so there is no need to trouble Your Highness."
Shen Qianyu said warmly: "I want to do any little thing for Wan'er. I would be happy to do it."
Unable to help but touch Song Wan's long hair lovingly, Shen Qianyu carefully and gently helped her comb her black hair into a smooth shape, then took a long silk handkerchief and tied it up for her.
"Qin Rao was seriously injured. As soon as he returned to the inn, he ordered him to return to Nanqing. He must have been very angry."
Song Wan said: "I never thought of what happened today."
"It doesn't matter."
"Even if there is no such thing, she will always find some other reasons."
The two of them no longer cared about Qin Rao, and just cuddled together quietly, talking about matters related to begging.
Shen Qianyu said that Nanqing did not pay much attention to the Qiqiao Festival. Only the maids in the palace would sew simple sachets and so on on this day. Song Wan said that she might not have participated in the Qiqiao Festival for a long time. In the past, the old lady of the Hou Mansion would send red eggs to Luanxiangzhai on this day.
Speaking of the past, Song Wan sighed slightly when he thought of the old lady and Shen Qianshu.
"Wan'er, don't think of anywhere else, just think of me."
The two were laughing and talking, but Ji Rong came through the night.
"Your Highness, Princess Nanqing has written a letter requesting Dongning to pay 30 million taels of silver and hand over Suncheng and Chiyang north of the Su River to Nanqing as compensation. The Holy One is now furious. Mr. Song and Mr. Huang and Mr. Luo We are all in the Taiji Hall, and the Holy One summoned His Highness to come and discuss countermeasures."
Shen Qianyu frowned slightly.
Not to mention thirty million taels, even if Qin Rao asked for two taels of silver, he would not agree, let alone Suncheng and Chiyang. Moreover, Emperor Wen Hui's reaction was unexpected.
After thinking about it, Shen Qianyu said, "I'll go take a look. Wan'er doesn't have to wait for me."
Song Wan nodded and watched Shen Qianyu leave.
When Shen Qianyu arrived at Taiji Hall, Emperor Wen Hui was very angry and did not look good when he saw him.
"Ignorant women and children, do you really think that I am afraid of Nan Qing? How can she say 30 million taels of silver?"
Even if Dongning's treasury is emptied, it will not be able to collect 30 million taels.
"The arrogant child doesn't know whether to live or die."
There were several ministers standing in the hall, and they all looked comforting when they heard this.
Although Nanqing's military strength is stronger than that of Dongning, there is no reason to blindly give way. Moreover, repeated retreats in the past not only failed to bring about peace, but also fostered Nanqing's ambitions. Now a princess who doesn't know what is called dares to say such a big thing. Is she really thinking that all the men in Dongning are dead?
Several old ministers looked angry. Emperor Wen Hui's eyes were red and he looked very angry.
Shen Qianyu stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Qin Rao has an elite force of 7,000 people. I guess these people should be gathered in the Shusu River area, so she can demand Suncheng and Chiyang."
"My son is willing to invite soldiers to fight in person, and I hope my father will agree."
Upon hearing that Qin Rao had nearly ten thousand elites in his hands, Emperor Wen Hui narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent for a moment. After a long silence, he said: "Nanqing's military strength is several times stronger than Dongning's, are you sure?"
"My son is not sure, but a man wrapped in horse leather will die without regrets."
"Okay, that's a good thing to say that you will never regret it even if you die."
"I agree. I will wait for the day when my son returns to the court in victory."
Shen Qianyu took a long breath, never expecting that this matter would go so smoothly.
Although other ministers in the palace felt that it was inappropriate for the prince to conduct the expedition himself, Suhe River was an important place in Dongning and had a capital. It has jurisdiction over five thousand-household residences, which is nearly 6,000 people. Moreover, the prince's personal expedition to the capital will also have a general military officer dispatching troops, so it is not difficult to protect the prince's safety.
More importantly, they all saw the prince's ambition, so everyone remained silent except for Song Lan'an, who frowned slightly when he looked at Shen Qianyu, uneasy.
