Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Chapter 493: Princess in the Deep Palace 7

The two of them went back and forth like this, no, it should be said that they were testing each other. Su Tong wanted to know whether the other party was the sickly and unambitious prince, and the other party was also testing whether he was the timid and cowardly princess. As the two of them went back and forth, they also deepened their impressions of each other.

Jing State acted very quickly, perhaps because he was afraid that his princess would do something weird again. Because of the previous incident of burning the kang, he had already accumulated a good reputation among the people. At least many ordinary people did not have much objection to the princess, and some even had a better impression of her.

Jingguo was also considering whether or not to promote the kang. Thinking of the extremely cold winters in the United States, he asked people to make some tentatively. It turned out that this thing was really good value for money. Not only could it be used for cooking, but it was also very warm. The only thing it needed was wood.

There is no such thing as cotton now. Most poor people rely on paper clothes to keep warm, which are the clothes made of paper in the legend. Those who are a little richer use silk or animal fur. Many people freeze to death every winter.

With the kang, many problems can indeed be solved. Emperor Jingguo thought about it for a long time and finally promoted this matter, but did not mention Su Tong's name.

The wedding date of the two countries is set for the sixth day of next month. Perhaps because of my visit at the city gate, many dignitaries will attend the wedding. Even the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion couldn't help but marvel at the invitations.

Although the Prince's Mansion is the most prominent in the entire Jing Kingdom, ordinary ministers avoid it, mainly because the Prince is out of favor. If it were not for the fact that the Prince is sickly and has no contacts with court officials, the Emperor would probably be suspicious of the Prince.

Precisely because the prince has been weak and has not attended court in recent years, the emperor has a bit more fatherly love for him, but this is only limited to when the prince poses no threat. Once the prince threatens the emperor's power and status, then the prince is the emperor's enemy.

Ordinary brothers fighting over the division of property and getting more money may end up quarreling with each other until they die, let alone this is an entire kingdom. The current prince is a poor little thing. If the emperor was not afraid that deposing the prince would cause a shock in the court, he would have deposed this thorn in his side long ago.

Su Tong stayed quietly in the palace prepared for her by Jingguo, and at the same time arranged the servants around her to begin to deploy her own people throughout the capital of Jingguo. In fact, she had arranged quite a few people along the way. These people were connected together to form a liaison station. They were doing some inconspicuous small businesses, but they were also the easiest to get information from.

What Su Tong wanted had always been very simple. Since she came to this world and became a princess of one country, and now married to the prince of another country, she would be a natural politician in the future. What she wanted was power and status. As for love, that was simply a joke.

With his own Southern Kingdom bloodline and the bloodline of the Crown Prince of Jing Kingdom, his son will be the future heir to the entire Central Plains.

On the wedding day, Su Tong covered her head with a red veil, worshipped heaven and earth, and stayed in the bridal chamber. She did not have too many expectations for the prince, and was even a little worried whether he could complete the wedding night today.

While I was thinking, the door opened.

"My Lady Crown Princess, I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal maid. Right now, the Crown Prince is greeting the ministers in the front hall, and he specifically asked me to have some cakes brought over so that Your Royal Highness will not go hungry."

Su Tong raised his eyebrows slightly, and instantly felt more favorable towards this maid. However, when she slowly approached with the cakes, Su Tong smelled the smell of poison...

If it wasn't for the bad connotation of lifting the veil on the wedding night, she really wanted to lift the veil to see what the maid looked like. How brave did she have to assassinate her on her wedding night?

Su Tong sat on the bed in silence. He just raised his hand slightly, and the senior palace maid beside him immediately understood what he meant.

"Our princess is worth a lot of money. No matter what she eats, she needs someone to test it for poison in advance. Please ask this palace maid to try a few first."

The maid stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react. An eerie calm filled the room.

"What's going on? I remember that every time the Jing Kingdom's royal family had a meal, someone would test for poison. You said you were the head maid beside the prince, don't you know about this?"

The maid rolled her eyes and put the cake aside. "I am not blessed enough to eat such expensive cakes, not to mention that this cake was specifically requested by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be given to the Crown Princess, so I dare not taste it."

"Today is this princess's big day. Since you are so pleasing to the eye, I will give you this plate of cakes as a reward." Su Tong said, "Your maids will also have a share."

Things had come to this point, and the palace maid saw that something was not right, so she ran outside. However, before she had taken two steps, she was caught by the maidservants around Su Tong who were skilled in martial arts.

"Princess, there's something strange about these people." The head maid Chunyi said solemnly, "Do you want me to take them away for interrogation?"

"Forget it, let's not shed blood on such a happy day. Cut off their hands, feet and jaws, and then take them to the steward of the prince's mansion. I believe the prince will give this princess an explanation." Su Tong originally wanted to do it herself, but was afraid of stealing the show.

One of the maids was indeed preparing to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but before she could prepare herself, her jaw was cut off, and even her hands and feet were cut off. She was tied up and thrown into the side room next door.

When the housekeeper learned about this, he was so angry that he jumped up and down and slapped his thigh hard. He had been guarding the princess so strictly, but still someone took advantage of his inattention and tried to murder her.

It would be fine if it didn't work out, but if it did, the prince would probably not end up well, and it might even cause turmoil between the two countries.

What kind of heartless person could do such a thing? Fortunately, the princess was fine and even saw through the other party's trick. The princess is truly the benefactor of their Prince's Mansion.

When the prince learned about this, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and began to cough violently. A blush appeared on his pale face, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted in the surprised eyes of everyone.

The emperor was very angry. The prince's marriage was both a state affair and a family affair, but now there was a poisoning plot. Today the princess was murdered, but one day the prince might be murdered, or even himself.

The emperor had a gloomy face. Fortunately, the princess was safe and sound, otherwise he would have no way to explain to the Southern Kingdom. He handed the matter over to the Jinyiwei directly and asked them to use all means to investigate the matter, and to execute first and report later if necessary.

When Su Tong found out that her husband had fainted, she immediately pretended to be a weak little white flower, sobbing softly while pinching a handkerchief. People who didn't know would think that she was at a loss. But in fact, she had already rolled her eyes behind his back.

Because when I was taking care of the prince, I took his pulse. My goodness, he looked weak and his pulse was sore. But I am an expert in medicine, and he was obviously very strong, the kind of person who could plow five acres of land overnight.
