Chapter Ninety-Six: Birthday Attack
"What did she say?" Qian Yan picked up the teacup, his danko-dyed nails gently scraped the tea foam, Danfeng's eyes rose upward, and there was a touch of coldness in the corners of his eyes.
"She wants me to be the queen of Nanchu, and if I want to do something, she can help me. Sun Pingling said lightly.
"As expected. Qian Yan smiled lightly, "She really wants to come and intervene." ”
The smile on her face narrowed slightly, glanced at Sun Pingling, and asked with a smile, "What do you think about this matter?"
Sun Pingling's eyes sank slightly, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The queen thinks I will betray you and cooperate with her?"
"That's not what I meant. Qian Yan said, "I just want to know what you think." ”
"Your Majesty is married to the Queen, and I am the one who approves of it the most. Sun Pingling said, "Not to mention anything else, for the cooperation with the Western Wei Dynasty, it is very important for the Southern Chu, based on this, it is impossible for me to do anything that is not conducive to the cooperation between the two countries." ”
"Why is Changle confident that he will be able to destroy the cooperation between Nan Chu and Western Wei and let Nan Chu return to the embrace of Northern Xia?" Qian Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "When Your Majesty was in Northern Xia, there were too many times that we didn't participate in, and that was the time when he was most helpless, if there was a girl like Changle by his side, wouldn't it have an extraordinary impact on Your Majesty? Will Your Majesty obey her words?"
"If the queen thinks of Your Majesty like this, she will underestimate Your Majesty. Sun Pingling said lightly, "Your Majesty is a person who values feelings, but he puts the interests of Nanchu first, and I still have this confidence." Changle may feel that she can do something for Beixia, she is the princess of Beixia, this idea, for her, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that she overestimated herself. ”
"You said that if you can keep Changle as a hostage, will Beixia and the Dayue Clan throw a rat trap?" Qian Yan asked again.
"This is tantamount to letting Southern Chu declare war with Northern Xia and the Great Moon Clan at the same time. Sun Pingling said, "Nan Chu will not take this risk, even if Western Wei wants to come, he doesn't want us to take this risk before everything is ready." I promised the queen to invite Changle to Southern Chu, just hoping that Changle could make some mistakes, make her herself untenable, and even be able to provoke the relationship between the Dayue clan and Northern Xia, but it doesn't mean that Southern Chu will do anything to her. ”
"Really?" Qian Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Since you think this is an adventure, then I won't have this plan, but our previous plan must be completed well." If you return halfway and change your mind, I won't be able to spare you. ”
"I won't. Sun Pingling said categorically, "But I also have my own bottom line, and I hope the queen can respect my bottom line." ”
"The bottom line?" Qian Yan snorted, "What is your bottom line? Are you threatening me or warning me?"
"It's not a threat or a warning, it's just that we can respect each other. Sun Pingling said, "Let's talk about today's things here, I still have some things, and I will retire first." ”
"Stop!" Qian Yan got up and looked at Sun Pingling and smiled coldly, "Concubine Xian is more and more detached from me, she dares to throw her face at me, who gave you the guts?"
"What does the queen want?"
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, shouldn't you ride on my head in the future?" Qian Yan sneered, "Today's small punishment and big commandment is to kneel at the door for two hours, what, what objection does Concubine Xian have?"
"Don't dare. Sun Pingling lowered his eyes and said.
"If you don't dare, then go and kneel well!" Qian Yan snorted, "If there is another time to disrespect me, it won't be as simple as just punishing you for kneeling, do you understand?"
"Understood. ”
Nighttime.
Princess Changle came to visit Sun Pingling.
"I'm wounded, and it's inconvenient to greet me, so don't blame the princess. Sun Pingling said.
"If you say anything, since you are sisters, you don't have to see each other like this. Princess Changle said, "I brought you medicinal wine, it is the unique secret recipe of the Otsutsuki Imperial Hospital, it is very effective, I will help you knead it." ”
"Then thank you, princess. ”
Sun Pingling lifted the quilt, revealing his red and swollen knees.
Changle held some medicinal wine in the palm of one hand, gently rubbed Sun Pingling's knees, and sighed: "There are so many palace people who come and go in this palace to watch, and she still punishes you like this, how can you behave in front of the people in the future? She wants to slap you in the face!"
"I didn't expect a small thing for her to be angry, just because she deliberately wanted to punish me. Sun Pingling said, "There is no way, she is the queen, and I am just a concubine." I don't know how to live the days after this. ”
Changle rubbed it and asked, "What I told you during the day, how did you think about it?"
"Actually, I wasn't interested in it until tonight, but now I have to think about it again. Sun Pingling said, "After all, I also want to live, live well." ”
The movements in Changle's hand did not stop, he smiled slightly, and said, "Then do you have any plans now?"
Sun Pingling's eyes narrowed slightly, she held Changle's hand, and whispered in her ear: "There is only one position for the queen, and only when she dies can that position belong to me." ”
"You want her dead?" Changle asked, rolling his eyes.
"Don't you want to?" Sun Pingling asked rhetorically, and then she smiled, "The king came to Southern Chu for a few months, but he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and he couldn't afford to be sick for a long time, and then he died in a foreign land. ”
Changle also hooked his lips and smiled: "That's a pity." ”
"How is the princess going to help me?"
"How do you want me to help you?"
"The day after tomorrow, it is the queen's birthday, I heard that there is a kind of divine bird in the Dayue clan, colorful, very beautiful, this time the princess also brought the divine bird to Nanchu, why not give it as a birthday gift to the queen?" Sun Pingling said, "The queen loves vanity, if she can get this divine bird, she will be very happy, and she will come forward to tease." What if you get a prick?"
"Are you going to let the Otsuki clan bear this charge of assassinating the queen?" Changle asked softly.
"Definitely. Changle said, "As long as the beak of the bird is smeared with poison that has been dormant for a long time, when the bird pecks her, with her temperament, she will inevitably kill the divine bird to vent her anger, then the only evidence will be destroyed, a few days later, she died of poison, and the princess has left Nanchu, the so-called death is not guilty." Even if, because she was concerned about her face, she didn't kill the divine bird immediately, this harem is basically under my control, and I have the opportunity to remove the poison from the bird's beak, and it will be the same death without guilt at that time. What do you think?"
"I thought about it for a while, and it worked. Changle thought for a while and said, "Let's do this according to your method, but I can't take this risk alone, this divine bird belongs to the Great Moon Clan, but you have to provide this poison, right?"
"Good. Sun Pingling responded. "Leave the poison to me. ”
Two days later, for Qian Yan's birthday, Sun Pingling began to prepare for it a long time ago, so this birthday banquet was very lively.
Because the queen came from afar and was newly married to His Majesty, the birthday gifts prepared by the courtiers were also extremely attentive, all of which made Qian Yan feel very comfortable in his heart, as if he was gradually integrating into the country of Nanchu.
Qi Zi and Qian Yan sat on the top, after a dance, Changle got up, picked up a glass of wine, Ying Ying smiled: "I didn't expect that I just came to meet such a good day as the queen's birthday, I salute Your Majesty and the queen, I hope that Your Majesty and the queen can grow old together, and I also hope that the Dayue clan and Nanchu can be peaceful forever." ”
Qian Yan held the wine glass and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is fate, this time's birthday, it is also my luck to have the queen of the Dayue clan here." ”
"I also prepared a gift for the queen. Changle said, "Come on, send it." ”
I saw two people from the Otsutsuki clan carrying in a cage with a red cloth on it.
Changle stepped forward and took off the red cloth, only to see that inside the cage was a very colorful bird, like a phoenix in a painting.
"This bird is very rare, and it has been made a sacred bird by the people of the Dayue clan, with the state of a phoenix, worthy of the identity of the queen. Changle said, "I hope the queen won't dislike it." ”
"Such a generous gift, how can you dislike it!" Qian Yan showed an excited smile on her face, she hurriedly got up and came to the front of the divine bird, "Such a beautiful bird, such a beautiful fur, this is the first time I have seen it, could it be that this is really a phoenix?"
She said that she was going to touch the divine bird, she gently touched the feathers of the divine bird, which was very smooth, but when she touched the head of the divine bird, the bird suddenly became angry and pecked at Qian Yan's hand.
"Ahh
"The queen forgives her sins!" Changle looked shocked, "This bird is usually trained to be very docile, I don't know why it suddenly attacked people today!"
"It's fine, it's just a trifle. Qian Yan smiled calmly, "The princess doesn't have to be nervous, presumably it is also because there are so many people here, and she feels nervous." ”
"Someone, please treat the imperial doctor!" Mi Zi's face sank slightly, "The banquet continues here, your interest does not need to be passively disturbed, I will accompany the queen to deal with the wound, and I will come later!"
Princess Changle glanced at Sun Pingling and motioned for her to dispose of the divine bird in the hall, but Sun Pingling didn't seem to notice her expression, at this time she said: "This beast actually attacked the queen, it's useless to keep it, it's better to kill it and ask the queen for guilt, come here, and dispose of it!"
