Chapter 101: Plan.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“This prescription…”
Su Yueyun picked up the prescription with trembling hands and muttered to herself.
If at the beginning, she was still suspicious of Su Qin’s words, then now, as Su Qin wrote the prescription, Su Yueyun had already believed most of it.
Although Su Yueyun and Su Qin have not seen each other for almost 30 years, Su Yueyun knows that Su Qin is not the kind of person who likes to talk big.
Since Su Qin said so, he must be very sure.
“Third Brother, thank you…”
Crown Prince Li Sheng’s eyes were a little red.
If it is possible, who doesn’t want to have a child?
“It’s fine.”
“It didn’t take much effort on my part anyway.”
Su Qin waved his hand and said.
Helping Su Yueyun get rid of the Yin Qi, was like eating and drinking for Su Qin.
“Alright.”
“I will go back first.”
Su Qin got up and walked towards the outside.
Crown Prince Li Sheng immediately followed, and did not stop until he sent Su Qin outside the Hall.
…
Cheng’en Hall.
Crown Prince Li Sheng hurried back.
“Yun’er, how’s the prescription?”
Crown Prince Li Sheng asked urgently.
“It’s better than nothing.”
Su Yueyun was obviously a little nervous, she looked at Crown Prince Li Sheng expectantly and said: “Will it work this time?”
“It will definitely work.”
Crown Prince Li Sheng nodded and said seriously.
…
…
At the same time.
In a mansion somewhere in Chang’an City.
A middle-aged man in a white robe took a sip of tea while looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, a chubby businessman cautiously walked in and stopped not far from the white robed man, he respectfully said:
“Greetings, Lord Town Ambassador.”
The chubby business man’s expression was restrained, as if the white robed man in front of him was some kind of beast that he cannot anger.
If there is an Intelligence Officer from the Tang Empire here, they will be startled when they hear the words ‘Town Ambassador’.
That’s because a Town Ambassador is a high-level Southern Ming Bright Gown Guard Official, second only to the Command Ambassador. In the entire Bright Gown Guard organization, there are only three Town Ambassadors; each one has the power that can make all Court Officials frightened.
It stands to reason that people like the Town Ambassador shouldn’t venture into the Tang Empire alone, not to mention sneak into Chang’an City.
In case the Town Ambassador falls into the hands of the Tang Empire, the Southern Ming will lose one of their few Town Ambassadors and their spy network in the Tang Empire might get sniffed out.
Using the status of the Town Ambassador, any casual disclosure of information would be enough to cause heavy losses to the entire Southern Ming Empire.
“Get up.”
The white robed man lightly said.
“Yes.”
The chubby businessman stood up respectfully.
“How are things going?” After a while, the white robed man asked.
“Reporting to the Town Ambassador, our people have already mixed in the Envoys and entered the Imperial Palace.”
The chubby businessman replied immediately.
“Not bad.”
The white robed man slightly nodded and did not inquire further.
In his eyes, entering the Imperial Palace is just the 1st Step, so there is no need to care too much.
“Dare I ask the Town Ambassador, what is His Majesty’s goal this time, is it the Tang Emperor?”
The chubby businessman asked cautiously.
In his opinion, since the Empire had sent a Town Ambassador to facilitate things personally, the purpose must be big. And the most likely target is the Tang Emperor. After all, there is nothing more beneficial than assassinating the Tang Emperor.
Once the Tang Emperor dies, the Tang Empire will inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, the Southern Ming Empire will be able to take advantage of the situation.
Thinking of this, excitement flashed in the chubby businessman’s eyes.
If it really goes like this, then they will definitely get great results.
For so many years, the Southern Ming Empire has been suppressed in the South by the Tang Empire, unable to expand to the North.
If they take this opportunity to open up the defenses of the Tang Empire, along with the brilliant strategies of the Ming Emperor, they may even be able to sweep and dominate the world altogether.
“Assassinate Emperor Tang?”
The white robed man glanced at the chubby businessman: “With the protection of the purple clothed eunuch, Emperor Tang will not die.”
The white robed man shook his head.
Over the years, although the Southern Ming Empire and Tang Empire often had diplomatic interactions on the surface, one could not count how many times they have plotted against each other secretly.
Naturally, they know the terrifying strength of the purple clothed eunuch.
“That?”
The chubby businessman was taken aback. He asked: “Then are you going to assassinate the princes?”
Except the Tang Emperor, only the princes were worth killing. The chubby businessman couldn’t think of who could be worth a visit by the Town Ambassador himself, if it’s not the Tang Emperor.
“The princes?”
The white robed man laughed: “The princes will kill themselves, why waste time on them?”
“You don’t have to guess anymore, this time the Bright Gown Guard’s target is the Crown Prince.”
The white robed man took a sip of tea and said.
“Crown Prince?”
The chubby businessman was taken aback.
As far as he knows, the Tang Empire’s Crown Prince was established by the Tang Emperor in spite of the opposition from the Ministers. He has no foundation in Chang’an City at all.
The chubby businessman even wondered, whether this Crown Prince was deliberately introduced by the Tang Emperor as a means of deceiving others?
“You don’t understand.”
The white robed man said: “His Majesty knows the Tang Emperor too well. That old fox will not do meaningless things.”
“Moreover, the Bright Gown Guard found a piece of interesting information. Thirty years ago, the Tang Emperor had relations with a Court Lady. One year later, they gave birth to an heir.”
”It’s just that the Empress at the time, was jealous, and the Court Lady died not long after she gave birth.”
“At that time, the court was unstable. The Tang Emperor needed the Aristocratic family behind the Empress, so he could only send the child of the Court Lady outside and amongst the masses.”
“Not long ago, he returned and was appointed as the Crown Prince.”
The white robed man looked at the chubby businessman with a deep meaning on his face: “Now, do you think that this was just a coincidence?”
“What does Town Ambassador mean?”
The chubby businessman’s thoughts changed rapidly and he subconsciously asked.
“The death of the Crown Prince would not only be a blow to the Tang Emperor, but also a stimulus to the other princes. Once there is no more ‘mountain’, they could fight each other and take the seat for themselves.“
“And this is what we want to see.”
The white robed man said slowly: “In a few days, the Crown Prince will meet with his wife’s family. He will leave the Imperial Palace from the Black Tortoise Gate and go to the Su Residence.”
“Your people can do it before then.”
“Remember, you must not let the Crown Prince live past the Black Tortoise Gate.”
The white robed man said.
Whether it is the East Palace or the Black Tortoise Gate, there are a large number of Imperial Palace Guards.
However, between the East Palace and the Black Tortoise Gate, there is a blank space. It has no defensive power and it is also the place where they will most likely succeed in the assassination.
But once the Crown Prince is able to walk out of the Black Tortoise Gate, there would be protection again, so they must do it until then.
In that way, they have a chance.
“Yes.”
The chubby businessman bowed his head.
…
In front of Weiyang Palace.
Su Qin stopped and looked up at the palace in front of him.
“This should be the first time I Sign In at this place.”
Su Qin thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
Su Qin said silently in his heart: “System, Sign In!”
[Congratulations!]
[Signed In successfully!]
[Obtained the ‘Sunflower Treasure Scripture’!]
