"If you don't do this and the other party really is an envoy from the Southern Border State, it will give others something to talk about. Then our Jin State will be at a moral disadvantage, giving the Southern Border State an excuse to send troops," Si Junlin explained to her.
"Although our Jin State has a strong army and is not afraid of the troops of any other country, we do fear the secret techniques of various countries. Among these secret techniques, the Gu poison technique of the Southern Border State is the most mysterious and unpredictable."
"Now, although all countries seem to be at peace, which emperor doesn't yearn for the unification of the world?"
Su Wan'er couldn't answer Si Junlin's question. Not to mention the proper royal family members, since ancient times, how many people have fought to the death for the imperial throne? And which emperor didn't hope to rule the world and be the supreme one under the heavens?
"You've said so much. What on earth do you want to express?" Su Wan'er had listened for a long time. She understood every word and every sentence, but she didn't know the purpose of Si Junlin's words.
Was he teaching her the way of being a monarch?
Si Junlin didn't expect that after he had talked for so long, Su Wan'er still didn't understand his purpose.
This realization made him feel extremely frustrated. In order to continue the conversation, Si Junlin simply told Su Wan'er the answer directly: "I'm telling you that you don't need to blame yourself for this matter. Your way of handling it was the best. Moreover, I was the one who took the lead in this matter. If you were wrong, wouldn't it mean that I was wrong too?"
Su Wan'er was slightly stunned. Only then did she remember that Si Junlin had done a lot of things behind the scenes for her to handle this matter in this way. When she made the decision, she had actually followed Si Junlin's suggestions.
"A monarch can't take care of everything. All a monarch can do is to choose the situation that is most beneficial to himself at that time," Si Junlin said plausibly.
At first, Su Wan'er didn't think much of it. But later, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind.
After this flash of inspiration, she found, rather amusingly, that the scene she was experiencing now was just like an emperor teaching a prince the way of being a monarch.
"Your Majesty, I will surely keep your words in mind. Now, let's think about the next plan," Su Wan'er didn't forget that there were a group of palace servants watching not far away. She had really worried a great deal for the dignity of this puppet emperor, Si Junlin.
Si Junlin was just getting excited about his speech. How could he let her get away? He continued his preaching.
Su Wan'er couldn't bear it any longer. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped Si Junlin hard on the face: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your own reputation!"
After saying that, she directly turned Si Junlin's head towards the palace servants not far away.
When Si Junlin's gaze fell on the palace servants, he found that each of them had their backs turned to him. Some were looking at the sky, some were looking at the ground, and some were even facing the wall. All of them were clearly saying, "We didn't see anything. We don't know anything..."
Only then did he realize what stupid things he had done in his excitement.
"Let's go back to the palace," he didn't even think about it at this moment. He simply followed what Su Wan'er said and hurriedly returned to the palace.
Because of the strict order given by Su Wan'er, the imperial doctors worked day and night and managed to produce enough medicine for fifty people in just one day.
Su Wan'er burned the prescription as she had promised Long Xiaojiu. But this action was actually meaningless. Which imperial doctor didn't start by memorizing the pharmacology?
The preciousness of Long Xiaojiu's prescription lay in the medicinal materials on it. As for the rest, it was really not difficult at all for these imperial doctors who had been immersed in various medicinal materials all year round.
Regardless of what the imperial doctors thought, since those secret agents had received the anti - Gu bracelets and a written order.
Another night came. A large group of people suddenly appeared on the street, which should have been silent because people were sleeping. If you looked closely, you would find that all these people had their eyes closed, and they were all walking in the same direction. In the middle of the night, it looked like a parade of ghosts, which made people feel inexplicably scared.
There were also some people standing on the rooftops. Compared with the people walking slowly on the ground, they seemed to blend in with the night.
Su Wan'er and Si Junlin were sitting opposite each other on the rooftop of the Juxian Tower. Originally, the two of them could just wait for the news in the palace, but Su Wan'er suddenly had the idea of going out for a stroll.
Si Junlin knew that although she said she wasn't worried, she actually cared a great deal about her future brother - in - law in her heart. If he didn't let her see the development of the matter with her own eyes, she wouldn't be at ease.
After getting along for so many days, he had already known her habits very well. This woman was good in every aspect, but she cared too much about the people around her. No matter what the matter was, as long as it involved the people around her, she would always worry too much.
This was both her strength and her weakness.
But... he wondered when he could become one of the people in her heart.
He wasn't in a hurry. He had plenty of time to wait, to slowly walk into her heart and become the person she cared about the most.
At first, he had someone prepare a place to observe, but Su Wan'er refused. Her reason was to avoid eavesdropping.
In the end, the two of them put on windbreakers and came to the rooftop of the Juxian Tower opposite the posthouse with the secret guards.
They had just sat down when Qingcao came up carrying a package on his back.
He thought that what Qingcao was carrying was Su Wan'er's weapon or something. After all, this matter was extremely dangerous. Although she usually seemed careless, she was still quite reliable when she was serious.
But when Qingcao opened the cloth bag and he saw what was inside, Si Junlin was immediately stunned.
What was inside wasn't any powerful weapon, but just a pot of wine and several drawers of dishes.
"What is this?" Si Junlin couldn't believe it. Was she here for a picnic?
Su Wan'er looked at the posthouse opposite: "Don't you trust your own secret agents?"
"I do trust them, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bring food here?" Si Junlin thought Su Wan'er was being absurd.
Su Wan'er turned to look at him: "Would you let me go over there?"
Si Junlin didn't know why she asked this question. Did this question have anything to do with her bringing so much food?
But he still said, "No. You are the mother of the nation. You're not suitable for such a dangerous thing."
"Exactly. In order for me to stay quietly and wait for them to come back and report the news to me, I naturally need to find something to distract myself," Su Wan'er said righteously.
