The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 384 Mission

Soon, the tenth Mongolian prince Bater and the Jurchen Prince Rui also arrived in the capital.

When Bater led the delegation to meet the Emperor of Great Chu, he was still quite nervous, fearing that Great Chu would once again use the death of King Wei Nangong Yonghe to hold him responsible.

Unexpectedly, the young Emperor of Chu did not mention this matter at all, as if he had forgotten the existence of the King of Wei.

Just as Bater was relieved, he looked up and saw Prince Jing'an standing beside the Emperor of Great Chu.

The handsome Prince Jing'an smiled at him, and the other members of the delegation were all dazzled, but Bater turned pale as if he had seen a devil.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Tenth Prince, are you all right?"

Bater trembled: "I... I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Nangong Qinghe said with a smile: "The Tenth Prince and Prince Jing'an are old acquaintances. If you have any inconvenience in Da Chu in the future, just look for her."

"I dare not, I dare not!" Battelle's voice trembled.

He really doesn't dare!

I just hope that this princess and her husband, Duke Dingguo, will not cause trouble for him. How could they dare to come to him on their own initiative?

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "No problem. I will also preside over the future negotiations between Great Chu and Mongolia. I will have many opportunities to meet the Tenth Prince. You're welcome."

Nangong Qinghe has issued an edict that the negotiations between Great Chu and Mongolia and Jurchen will be led by Jiang Li, assisted by Cui Jue. With these two most profiteers of profiteers taking action, Mongolia and Jurchen will not be able to gain any advantage at all!

Bater secretly groaned. In the future negotiations, he would have to ask his fourth brother to come. He was eloquent and resourceful, and he would surely be able to match the queen on equal terms.

After leaving the palace, Bater just breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw the team coming to take them to the imperial farm, led by Duke Dingguo Xie Chang'an!

Xie Changan's half-smile eyes immediately reminded him of the fear he had experienced when he was dominated by these two evil stars in Greater Khingan Range.

"Ding...Duke Ding..." Bater was so scared that his legs went limp.

Xie Changan raised his lips slightly: "Tenth Prince, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Very, very good..." Bartel stammered.

Xie Changan smiled wickedly: "Don't be nervous, Tenth Prince. We are old acquaintances. We can get closer in the future."

It would have been fine if he didn't smile, but once he did, Bater felt a dull pain in his good eye. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

After the Mongolian delegation was sent to the imperial farm outside Beijing to farm, the Jurchen delegation also arrived.

Unlike Battelle who is easy to control, Prince Rui is about forty years old, has a heroic face and is very capable. At first glance, he is an old fox in the political arena.

Jiang Li couldn't help but think of General Su Chen. The Su family was wiped out. Was it a trap set by Prince Rui?

When Prince Rui saw that the person who came to greet him was actually the famous princess, Prince Jing'an, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He exclaimed: "Your Majesty is truly a god!"

He looked towards the palace from afar and sighed softly, "When I was young, I traveled to Da Chu under an assumed name and met a woman who was also as beautiful as you."

Jiang Li's heart was moved: "Did this woman and the prince finally get married?"

Prince Rui shook his head calmly: "What a pity, it's not meant to be. Such a beautiful person will naturally enter the palace."

Jiang Li was quite surprised. Could he be talking about Su Mei?

The person who had a personal relationship with the Second Prince of the Jurchens back then was not General Su Chen, but Su Mei?

"Madam, is your surname Su?" Jiang Li went straight to the point.

Prince Rui was surprised: "That's right. Has Your Majesty seen her?"

It is said that this Princess Jing'an was once a concubine of the old emperor. Could it be that she has met Su Mei?

He changed his mind and thought, that’s not right, she is so young, shouldn’t A Mei have died when she entered the palace?

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "I have seen the portrait of Madam Su at the place of His Royal Highness Prince Wei. Madam Su is so beautiful that I am ashamed to be inferior to her."

"Prince Wei?" Prince Rui was stunned. How could Prince Wei have a portrait of Su Mei?

"Don't you think your Highness doesn't know?" Jiang Li smiled. "After Empress Su fell into the water, she was rescued, but she lost all her memories and became a wanderer among the common people. Not long after, she gave birth to a son, who is none other than the Prince of Wei."

"A Mei...Empress Su is still alive?" Prince Rui said in a lost voice, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Empress Su has passed away. Before she died, she regained her memory and ordered His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestral home."

Prince Rui was suddenly happy and sad, and his eyes turned red.

He never expected that the woman he had always cared about for so many years was actually still alive!

If he had known that she was still alive, he would have found her at all costs, compensated her, and cared for her!

"Then, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei..." he asked cautiously, "Is he in the capital now?"

He wanted to meet the son of this old friend.

Jiang Li smiled coldly: "Hasn't the prince passed through Datong? The tomb of His Royal Highness Prince Wei is near the ancestral tomb of the Su family."

After Nan Yonghe faked his death, Nangong Qinghe still built a cenotaph for him in Datong according to the specifications for a prince.

"……tomb?"

Prince Rui took a long while to react and was horrified, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has passed away too?!"

"Last year, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei went to Datong to pay respect to General Su. The posthouse caught fire and His Royal Highness and his entourage were unfortunately killed."

Prince Rui was stunned, and after a long while he sighed, "When I return, I will pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and General Su."

Jiang Li's eyes moved slightly. Was there any other story behind the incident involving General Su Chen?

She decided to send a few mice to keep an eye on Prince Rui.

If we can catch him, we can get whatever we want from him during the negotiation!

After returning home, Jiang Li told Xie Changan about this.

Xie Changan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be that the late emperor knew that Empress Su and Prince Rui had had an affair, so he killed her?"

He suspected that Su Mei had cheated on him, so he ignored the fact that she was pregnant and used her as a knife to kill her?

Jiang Li nodded: "It's very likely."

She looked cunning, "If we can find something to hold against this prince..."

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Ask your foster father to send a few secret guards to help you keep an eye on him."

"it is good."

The two then went to look for Liao Wuyong.

Like Bater, Prince Rui was sent to a farm outside Beijing to learn how to grow sweet potatoes.

That night, he returned to his bedroom and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He got out of bed and took out a box from the box.

He carried this box with him for many years.

Prince Rui opened the box with trembling hands, took out a thin piece of letter, and read it again and again.

A tear rolled down his face.

"Amei, why didn't you come to see me back then?"

"Are you blaming me for causing the entire Su family to be killed?"

"Can't you give me a chance to make amends?"

Prince Rui looked at the bright moon outside the window, his voice choked with tears in his eyes.

He had no idea that at this moment, under the bed, there were several pairs of green eyes staring at his every move.

On the roof, there was also a secret guard in black, clinging to the tiles and watching his movements closely.
