Imperial Censor Zuo said angrily, “Then why didn’t he say so earlier?”
“Said it earlier?” Xiao Ran asked. “Are you going to say it out loud and make Xiongnu go back on their word after hearing it?”
“In order not to make Xiongnu suspicious, the Third Prince has never defended himself even when he was wronged by you. Why is Official Zuo still blaming the Third Prince now?”
Imperial Censor Zuo didn’t even dare to fart.
However, someone else had something to say. “What about the dragon robe?” Xiao Ran asked him, “For example, I’m especially displeased with Official Chen and Official Zuo now. Do the two of you think I’ll directly come in front of you with a knife and tell everyone that I want to kill you, or sneakily hit you at night?”
Official Chen and Imperial Censor Zuo were speechless.
How could she use such an analogy!
Official Chen didn’t dare to fart too.
Rong Yan could take the big picture into consideration and endure such grievances. He had no complaints even if he was wronged. Who would believe that he hid a dragon robe?
The Emperor was even more well aware of this matter. The truth was indescribable, so he asked the old servant who tampered with it to accept the punishment as a warning to Noble Consort Ji.
As for the so-called “letter to the enemy”, Xiao Ran smiled in disdain.
“I’ve never heard that ‘collaborating with the enemy’ only requires one-sided communication. Even if that letter was really written by the Second Prince of Xiongnu, has he sent it out? Has the Third Prince replied?”
“According to Official Zuo, if Xiongnu writes a letter to everyone, will His Majesty change all the officials in the court?”
“If we can wipe out our opponents with a letter, why are we still fighting in the future?”
Seeing that Imperial Censor Zuo was still talking, Xiao Ran raised her eyebrows.
“Official Zuo, if you’re unconvinced, you can call Chernan over. We’ll confront him face to face.”
Not to mention that Imperial Censor Zuo couldn’t call him over, even if Chernan received the news, he wouldn’t dare to come.
To put it bluntly, he was a little afraid of Xiao Ran and Rong Yan now.
Realizing that Noble Consort Ji’s actions were not punished by the Emperor the Empress had mixed feelings. She felt that the jealousy that she had suppressed for a long time was about to surface again.
It was at this moment that Noble Consort Ji took the initiative to seek an audience, saying that she wanted to send the Crown Prince a wedding congratulatory gift.
The position of the crown princess consort was finally decided on Zuo Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the Zuo Family. Both parties were of the right age and were under the emperor’s orders. They would be getting married soon, so the Empress had been busy preparing these few days.
The ceremony for the Crown Prince’s wedding had to be grand enough, but it could not be too grand. The Yan Family had been too eye-catching with His Majesty recently, so she needed to grasp that well.
If Noble Consort Ji’s gift was too eye-catching, the Empress would have to consider it more no matter what, but she actually gave him an entire manor.
The manor was huge and could accommodate thousands of people.
The Empress was moved. Seeing that Noble Consort Ji insisted, she accepted this gift.
She didn’t even meet the Third Prince when he was released. It could be seen that the mother-son relationship was really as calm as water. In the future, the only person she could rely on was the Crown Prince. No wonder she was so ’ eager to please him.
The Empress was very pleased with herself, so she naturally didn’t know the expression in Noble Consort Ji’s lowered eyes.
The Xiongnu envoy wished he could leave a few days earlier so that he wouldn’t have to think about the iron mine all the way.
How long had they searched in the desolate desert before they found their few mineral sources? What kind of luck did the Third Prince of Great Xia have? The spies chasing them actually found two iron mines that had yet to be mined? Compared to the officials, Chernan was both happy and worried. His worries were similar to the officials’. He felt that he had suffered a huge loss. What he was happy about was…
This rotten idea was suggested by Chercha! He had taken the initiative to send the iron ore mine to defeat him. Who would be more embarrassing if these two things were put together? They had to talk about it!
There would definitely be a battle between the princes of Xiongnu, but Xiaoxiao no longer cared.
Gongsun Zhongjing came to look for her. Someone from the Imperial Court wanted him to tamper with the patent medicine he sold to Xiongnu, but he rejected it. The Xiao Family strongly approved of this matter. He came here to thank her and to clear his doubts.
The Xiao Family had been fighting for generations, and now, only Xiao Ran was left. The world knew about her hatred for the outsiders, so he thought that the Xiao Family would also agree to make the Xiongnu pay the price at all costs.
Xiaoxiao told him, “Doctor Gongsun is a benevolent doctor. You naturally shouldn’t use your saving hands to harm others.”
“My mother also has her insistence. Xiongnu is indeed detestable. If we meet on the battlefield, she definitely won’t show mercy. She can kill those who kill but not in such a way.”
“She’s a general, not a killer.”
“Moreover, not all people who are going to take these patent medicines are vicious.”
“The people of Great Xia are lives, and so are the people of Xiongnu. Who knows if there are innocent people among the Xiongnu people?”
If they planted seeds of despair in the patent medicine that the Xiongnu people treated as a life-saving straw, then what was the difference between them and those shameless Xiongnu soldiers?
Gongsun Zhongjing had a myriad of thoughts as he bowed seriously.
Rong Yan heard these words too.
After the Emperor released him, he was allowed to rest at home for a few days to recuperate.
Although he ate properly when he was under house arrest, he still appreciated it. However, he did not rest in his residence but stayed in the General’s Residence.
Xiaoxiao’s words made him fall into deep thought.
If not for Xiaoxiao, he would probably be filled with resentment and hate everything in this world.
He might become unlike himself. Not to mention the lives of the Xiongnu, even the citizens of Great Xia…
Fortunately, he was still him.
Xiaoxiao was right. They did not need such despicable methods to deal with Xiongnu. Even if they met on the battlefield openly, he could make the other party cry for mercy.
Recently, the people of the Imperial Capital loved to hear about the Crown Prince’s wedding. The Zuo Family seemed to be afraid that others would not know that his family was going to marry off their daughter. They would go shopping on the streets from time to time.
Xiaoxiao walked around the streets and heard many articles praising Zuo Qingyan for her talent and beauty. Their words were simple and repetitive, making her, a transmigrator who had been baptized by the modem entertainment industry, feel awkward.
It would have been fine if they only praised Zuo Qingyan, but they had to step
on her to promote Zuo Qingyan.
“In comparison, the future Third Princess Consort is really…”
“That’s right. She came from a vulgar background. Even if she’s conferred the title of princess now, she can’t hide her farming life for more than 10 years.” “In my opinion, the Miss of the General’s Residence, who can’t bear to see anyone, must be stupid, poor, and ugly!”
Xiaoxiao:…
She did not have much of a reaction, but the female guard who accompanied her shopping was quite angry.
“I think these people deserve a beating!”
Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “I’ll be mediocre if the others are not jealous of me
They’re just jealous.”
“Moreover, these people were clearly specially arranged by the Yan Family and the Zuo Family. They’re just doing their job. We’ll beat up the main culprit another day.”
In a teahouse not far away, Li Muyan, who was drinking tea and resting, found
it difficult to understand. “Who did they say is poor?”
Not to mention the shops she worked with him, the elegant abode that the girl
and her aunt worked with had already made a lot of money, let alone her brother’s milk tea shop and mutton pot restaurant.
As far as he knew, this girl was also involved in the patent medicine that shocked the entire Great Xia some time ago.
However, what Li Muyan admired the most was that she actually hired those veterans who had retired from the battlefield to set up an escort company that was in charge of the transportation of goods at Great Xia and the border.
Strictly speaking, he was still in a cooperative relationship with Xiaoxiao. If he wanted to send the Li Family’s goods to the border city, he still needed Xiaoxiao’s “Great Wall Cargo” to help.
They also had a slogan-Great Wall Cargo. Mission must be achieved..
