Chapter 134 The Role of a Substitute

The Chu State Embassy is the largest and most luxurious one among the embassies of various countries.

In the beginning, these embassies were just in different locations and had similar architectural layouts.

Later, a princess from Chu State married into Yong State and once occupied the position of Queen Mother of Yong State.The empress dowager held real power, and because she could not return to her homeland, she expanded the Chu embassy to comfort her.

The carriage drove into the corridor inside the embassy, ​​smoothly rolled over the bluestone slabs, and drove to the front of the main hall before slowly stopping.

The maid opened the carriage curtain, and the chamberlain knelt on the ground. After waiting for a while, a woman wearing a power fence came out of the carriage.

She jumped out of the carriage on the back of the chamberlain, and looked up at the tall plaque.

This woman has a tall and straight figure, a slender waist, shaved shoulders, and a slender neck. She walked into the hall gracefully.

After a long journey, you should take a shower and change clothes to have a good rest.

But she walked leisurely to the chess case, opened the lid of the chess jar, took a white piece, and placed it gently on the chess board.

That set of chess records is already familiar to me.

Not long after, the outcome of the chess game was revealed.

The white chess pieces are like soldiers wearing white armor, holding spears and invincible.However, the black-armored infantry retreated steadily, fleeing in a panic and their chariots were in a mess.

Everyone will think that Bai Zi will win.

The white seed held in the woman's hand did not fall down.

She knew that once she dropped this piece, the opponent's pieces that she thought were discarded would form a net in an instant.

Go down and save the day.

One Yuan generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua.In a world where the sky is round, she was killed on the spot by the other party, losing all face.

Ever since she lost to the opponent in that game, her life has been like a chess game in which she is always inferior to her opponent, losing more miserably every time.

But this time...

The white piece in her hand fell, and after waiting, she couldn't see what else the other party could do.

The situation changes with two more white stones.

The two bullets occupied the throat, making Heizi like a goose shot in the throat. He could only fall from a high place and break into bones in a disorderly manner.

This was what she had arranged from the beginning.

This time, no matter how hard the opponent tries, he cannot escape the fate of being manipulated.

The wind blowing in from the window blew away the fence, revealing the soft face of the woman underneath.

Her skin is snow-white, her eyes are full of love, her small nose is pretty and cute, and her red lips and white teeth look very talented.

It is Wei Zhangde's daughter, Wei Nanxu.

"Won."

Wei Nanxu threw away the chess piece and looked at the messy chessboard with an arrogant smile.

Seeing that she finally finished the game, the maid serving Wei Nanxu came forward and brought her a cup of tea.

The water was a little hot, but Wei Nanxu was not angry.

"Is it burning?"

She asked, her voice not as clear as before, but hoarse and unpleasant.

"It's burned. It's just a pity for the substitute that I took so much trouble to make."

The stand-in craftsman has been silenced by Wei Nanxu.

Now if I want to make another one, I can no longer do it.

The maid felt a little sorry.

Wei Nanxu shook his head with a sneer, smiled at the maid and said, "You don't understand. I am a substitute just to be killed. Making them think I am dead is the biggest role of the substitute."

That day, when she stood in front of the palace maid and asked who was more beautiful compared to herself and Jiang He, she suddenly had a whim and thought that she should be herself.

There are spies in the Yong Kingdom all over the world, and they will definitely find out that she is making antidotes, and they can also find out that she is coming to the Yong Kingdom.

Jiang He is thoughtful and thoughtful, and Zhao Zheng is even more keen-eyed.

Both men were difficult to coax.

They would never believe that the antidote they brought was clean, and Zhao Zheng was more likely to simply kill her to prevent her from offering any bargaining chips that he could not exchange.

It is better to let the other party guard against you than to let them think that the crisis has been resolved.

Since the poor palace maid had her own face, she carried a small mirror wherever she went.I wonder if she took a picture of her face in the water before she died.

Wei Nanxu laughed when he thought of this.

"Go and rest."

She dismissed the maid, took off the power fence, and walked into the clean room to take a bath.

One of the two pieces she added to the chess table not long ago is dead.

A fitting death.

Zongjun stood outside the Chu embassy, ​​waited for an hour, and left with a smile.

Jiang He was questioning Zheng Ling on his homework in the courtyard.

He learned well. Not only could he recite the contents backwards and forwards, but he could also draw inferences about other cases when applying them.

At this time, Zheng Lingzheng felt happy when he saw Jiang He raise his eyebrows because of his good answer.

He couldn't bear to see her look so sad that she was about to die.If she can be happy, he is willing to memorize anything as long as it has words.

"How is it?" Jiang He looked at Zongjun.

"I was rejected." The smile on Zongjun's face had dissipated, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction.Zheng Ling hadn't left yet and jumped a little when he heard this.

"Who dares to let Mr. Zong get rejected! I'll go find him!"

"Go," Jiang He glanced sideways at him, "Princess of Chu."

Zheng Ling immediately retracted his head, was slightly startled, then shook his head and left.

Zong Jun seemed to have the same idea as Zheng Ling.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is preparing to visit the Chu Embassy. It is already a blessing for them. She actually dares to say that she needs to rest for a few days after a long journey. It is really unreasonable."

He really couldn't understand why the Princess of Chu would give up the opportunity to make friends with Jiang He and stay away from her.

"It's normal to be missing." Jiang He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said, "I just don't know where Wei Nanxu's personal belongings are placed."

"That's a clear question." Zongjun replied, "I heard that because Wei Nanxu was a disciple of General Xiang Yan of Chu State, the Princess of Chu State personally inspected the things she used, burned part of them with her, and took the rest with her personally. Keep it and prepare to return it to Xiang Yan after returning to China."

Being able to find out this means that the spies sent by Zongjun have approached the Chu State mission.

Things burned at funerals should not include medicines.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Jiang He's heart.

Although Zhao Zheng simply killed her in order to prevent her from coming into contact with Wei Nanxu and avoid seeking skin from a tiger, Jiang He still felt that since the medicine was made, it must be used.

Since others are avoiding you, you might as well take the initiative.

First we need to get rid of the ginger.

Late at night, Wei Nanxu was still planning over and over again in his mind.

Only by getting rid of the real ones and replacing them with fake ones can the antidote be delivered to Zhao Zheng.

As for how to get rid of Jiang He, she had already made preparations before setting off from the Chu Kingdom.

The sweet spring at the foot of Jiuwei Mountain, which is said to be able to give birth to children after drinking it, is where Jiang He was buried.

The chess piece buried next to the Queen Mother had already pretended to tell the Queen Mother about the sweet spring in Mount Jiuwei unintentionally.The Queen Mother lived up to her expectations and had already arranged for Jiang He to pay homage.

I heard that the auspicious day chosen by Lord Fengchang is tomorrow.

Wei Nanxu closed his eyes.

Although she couldn't visit Jiufeng Mountain in person, she felt happy as long as she thought about Jiang He's tragic situation in her heart.

It was late at night, and Jiang He still went to the palace.

This time she did not go to Zhiyang Palace, but to Dazheng Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

The Queen Mother had just taken off her makeup and suddenly frowned when she heard Princess An Guo asked for an audience.

"Tell her that the Yi family is missing," she said angrily, "Do you not want to go to Mount Jiuyi? It's too late to make excuses until now."

The chamberlain who was waiting for the news at the entrance of the palace said: "My Lady, please don't be surprised. I see that Princess An Guo is holding a food box in her hand. Maybe she is bringing snacks to your Majesty."

Would she have such good intentions?
"Slave, it smells quite fragrant. It seems to be made from the osmanthus honey that the Queen Mother likes."

The Queen Mother became interested now: "Let her come in, who knows what kind of hole she is going to dig for the Ai family."

Although she doesn't like Jiang He, she still has to act like a loving mother-in-law and a filial daughter-in-law because of His Majesty.

It's not just acting, she has been doing it for most of her life.

After Jiang He explained his intention, the Queen Mother felt that this matter was not difficult.

"I'm afraid the imperial concubine must personally issue the order." Jiang He said, "It's also strange that the slave family has a lonely temperament and doesn't have many friends here."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, indicating that she did not need to say more.

Jiang He rarely surrendered in front of her and called himself "slave", which was quite useful to her.

Besides, this matter is also for the sake of prolonging the heirs.

Isn’t it just a will?

The Queen Mother felt that Jiang He was more pleasing to the eye.

"If there's nothing else, the Ai family needs to rest."

She glanced at the food box that smelled of osmanthus, a little carelessly and a little curious.

Everyone said that Jiang He was good at cooking, but it was a pity that he had never eaten anything she cooked.

Jiang He nodded when he heard this, saluted her solemnly, picked up the food box again, did not hand it over, but took a few steps back, then turned and left.

gone?

"Where are you going?" The Queen Mother suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty has rewarded you with some snacks. I want to go back early so that I can try them with everyone."

Jiang He turned around again and said respectfully, "Does the Queen Mother have any other instructions?"

The Queen Mother stroked her chest and waved her hand to Jiang He extremely tiredly, signaling her to leave quickly.

Leave quickly, don't make Aijia mad.

This day was a good day, but not so good for Wei Nanxu.

"what?"

Early in the morning, when she heard about the Queen Mother Yong's decree, she couldn't help but hold on to the wooden comb with anger.

"I'm not going!"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you must go."
