Chapter 496: Princess in the Deep Palace

Situ Jin didn't expect that he would be the one poisoned. Fortunately, he detoxified in time and his body was not seriously injured, but the root of the disease was still there.

Before he could react, Su Tong also fainted due to poisoning, and it was the same poison as him. The key point was that the woman fainted after being poisoned and has not woken up yet. All the mess fell on his head.

After the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom learned about this, he immediately sent a letter of accountability, wanting to ask them what Jing Kingdom meant. Not only did they not let his daughter become the queen, but they even poisoned her to death. If Jing Kingdom really went back on its word and had no intention of marrying his daughter, he could let Su Tong return to the country and the marriage between the two countries would be cancelled.

Situ Jin really thought so much. Anyway, nothing happened between the two of them. But Su Tong is different now. Su Tong has left a very good reputation among the people because of his kang, sauerkraut, and even hot spring vegetables. He also often does good deeds. If he just drives people away like this, how will the people of the world view him?

The emperor of the Southern Kingdom also said that his daughter had been poisoned once, and now she was poisoned for the second time. It was obvious that the Jing Kingdom had never valued his daughter. Instead of staying with them and suffering grievances, it would be better for her to go home.

Situ Jin could not do such a thing as divorcing his wife who had shared the same hardships with him and sending her back to her parents' home. If he really did such a thing, he would be cursed for the rest of his life.

After Su Tong slowly woke up, he learned that the mess outside had been cleaned up by Situ Jin. He smiled with satisfaction. He thought he did it on purpose. To be honest, he also helped the other party a lot. At least, the emperor's stroke was caused by his role behind the scenes.

The royal family didn't really think that the vegetables they grew were just simple vegetables, did they? If you want to eat what you make yourself, you have to be lucky enough to eat it. Look at these people in the royal family, some are dying and some are sick. Who can produce anything good now?

In fact, I feel a little regretful. If I had saved the late emperor's life and let the other party and Situ Jin be involved with each other, the situation would be much better than it is now. But unfortunately, I have already sent him to see the King of Hell, so there is no point in regretting.

All I can say is that Situ Jin is a piece of shit. Although the other party did not attack him, he obviously knew that someone was going to poison him and he remained silent. His tacit consent was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, which is actually equivalent to the murderer.

But that stinky man forgot one thing. When it comes to playing with drugs, he is the ancestor among their ancestors.

Situ Jin reached an agreement with the court officials, and used the poisoning of himself and Su Tong to purge many people. Su Tong became the queen, and the selection would be held after the three-year mourning period was over.

What Situ Jin could not have expected the most was why he was also poisoned. Although according to the person who poisoned the food, he just wanted to eat Su Tong's food, but because there were too many dishes in the imperial kitchen, he didn't know which one was Su Tong's food, so he simply poisoned them all.

Situ Jin was unwilling to accept this explanation. After all, if someone poisoned something, there would definitely be someone who tested it. Then why didn't the person who tested the poison find anything wrong?

But a large group of people died later, and Situ Jin has not found out the truth until now, but he just feels that it is a bit weird.

After Su Tong became the queen, she managed the entire harem in order. She even sent her own people to find coal, and then made honeycomb coal. The coal stove was a good tool for heating, and she even asked her people to sell it everywhere.

After Situ Jin learned about such a good thing, he went to find Su Tong and implied that both sides should cooperate. They were located in the north, and if they had such a coal stove, it would benefit the people.

Su Tong didn't want to talk about nonsense. Instead of talking about all this nonsense, he would rather give something practical. So the couple argued with each other. Su Tong needed someone to promote this coal stove, and he also needed a good reputation. So the two reached an agreement.

Su Tong made a lot of money, so he started sending people overseas to find some seeds. It would be best if he could find sweet potato and potato seeds, but of course the most important thing was cotton seeds.

Cotton is an important tool for keeping warm. Nowadays, many poor people rely on paper clothes. If they have cotton, they can cover themselves with thick quilts in winter.

The three-year mourning period passed in the blink of an eye. Situ Jin originally wanted to use these three years to keep the court firmly in his own hands, but he didn't know what happened in recent years. His health was getting worse day by day. He even had a serious illness a while ago. Although he recovered quickly, he always felt a little weak after waking up.

Although Situ Jin has always been a sickly prince in the eyes of outsiders, he knows that he is pretending. But now that his body is really weak, he is a little panicked. He finds several genius doctors with superb medical skills. After taking his pulse, they say that it is the sequelae of the previous poisoning and he needs to be well taken care of, otherwise his life will be shortened.

Situ Jin could only take bitter medicine while recuperating, which made him feel very anxious. Even though he now had more than half of the power in Caotang, there would always be people who would go against him.

Situ Jin is a concubine of the emperor who does not admire beauties. In total, there are only Su Tong and a few concubines who served her before. The ones chosen in this selection will definitely be high-ranking concubines.

Because Situ Jin was ill, the selection of concubines in the harem fell to Su Tong, and Su Tong found two old concubines to watch. The previous empress dowager was killed because of the rebellion of the prince. So she fell ill and died three months after Situ Jin ascended the throne. In other words, Su Tong was the boss of the entire harem.

Situ Jin didn't care about the selection, but he still wrote down a few names and gave them to Su Tong, indicating that these people must be targeted. Among them were Zuo Xiang's daughter, the daughter of Minister Li, the daughter of Minister of Revenue, and of course Situ Jin's cousin.

However, what is more eye-catching here is the younger sister of Situ Jin's ex-fiancee. It is said that the girl looks 70% similar to her sister, and even her personality is exactly the same. She is proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Su Tong even specifically asked someone about it. Originally, this girl was supposed to be betrothed to the youngest son of the empress dowager and become a princess. However, because the two sons of the empress dowager died, the family didn't know what kind of connections they had, but sent their youngest daughter to participate in the selection. At the same time, a concubine's daughter also accompanied her. Although her appearance was not as outstanding as the youngest daughter, she had a calm personality.

When Su Tong was selecting the girls, he kept all of these people, as well as the illegitimate daughter. However, he had a headache when assigning them positions. Except for two low-ranking girls with extremely outstanding looks, the rest were daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles, and were the candidates that Situ Jin needed to win over.

It seems that being an emperor is not easy. The emperor has to sell himself for fame and fortune, and at least he has to make the daughters of high-ranking officials happy, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well.
