“You can try.”

Su Qing curled her lips and looked at Yeluchun with disdain.

“I was able to escape safely from the army of your two royal brothers, but can you lock me up?”

Yeluchun frowned as he looked at Su Qing. He could feel the killing intent emanating from her body. It was mighty.

There was only half a meter between him and Su Qing. Even Yeluchun suspected that if the two of them fought, he would be the one to lose.

“Your mother was harmed to this extent. As a son, don’t you want to avenge her?”

Su Qing pointed at the woman in the bed curtain and questioned Yeluchun in a deep voice,

“To protect the person who harmed your mother, you are willing to turn against me?”

Yeluchun clenched his hands tightly behind his back, crushing the thumb ring into parts.

Su Qing’s words touched the hatred buried in his heart.

“In addition to death, war will also cause economic decline. The people will be in dire straits. Only by living in peace and trading with each other can everyone make money and eat their fill.”

Su Qing asked Yeluchun back. No matter what, they had met once. Yeluchun had even helped Ji Shuisheng buy back the Luan saber. Su Qing did not want to kill him. It was far better to instigate him to defect than to kill him.

“I won’t hide it from you, Miss Su. My father and 1 have the same thoughts. As long as the Great Xia Kingdom promises not to bully the Tartan Kingdom and not to pay tribute, we don’t want to go to war.”

Yeluchun retracted his aura and softened his tone.

“Your First Imperial Brother is cruel by nature, and your Second Imperial Brother is suspicious, erratic, and narrow-minded. Neither can lead the citizens of Tartan to live a peaceful life. Have you never thought of replacing them?”

Su Qing continued instigating rebellion, wanting to know what Yeluchun was thinking. This person wasn’t someone who would willingly submit to others. There was ambition in his eyes.

“I don’t have any soldiers or generals. I’m just a prince abandoned outside the imperial power and has no real power.”

When Yeluchun spoke, his eyes were desolate. After Mother fell ill, his father’s love for her had waned. After he made Consort Li the Empress, he no longer set foot in his mother’s palace. The court’s power was divided between the First and Second Prince. A mother’s status depended on her son. He did not have a powerful maternal family to rely on. He had to rely on little secret schemes but was always alone.

“When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains. Your eldest and second brothers fought to the death, but you couldn’t seize this opportunity. You’re not worthy of being the ruler of a country.”

Su Qing’s face was still cold, and her words were impolite.

“Miss Su is right. It’s as if I’ve been enlightened. 1 know what to do. Please don’t hold a grudge against me for my actions just now. I’m also afraid that you’ll harm the people.”

Yeluchun cupped his fists and apologized to Su Qing, hoping she would forget about the past.

“We only want money. We want to come to Tartan to sell coal and rheumatism cream. We hope that the Third Prince can help us sell them. We can split the profits 60 – 40, 60 for me, and 40 for you.”

Su Qing’s main goal was to sell coal and medicine and to be able to farm in peace in the future.

Otherwise, how could they live and work in peace and contentment if the Tartan Kingdom came to snatch the land before harvest?

“What is coal?”

This was the first time Yeluchun had heard of such a thing, so he asked Su Qing curiously.

“It’s used for heating. It’s more resistant to fire than charcoal. It also has a lot of heat and burns for a long time. With coal, you won’t be cold anymore.”

Su Qing explained to Yeluchun.

Yeluchun looked at Su Qing with shining eyes. She was indeed a woman willing to do business under the tip of a knife. She had more courage than any man.

However, the people of Tartan were impoverished. If they used real gold and silver to exchange for coal, they would probably rather pick up cow dung to burn than spend that money.

“We can ask for money, or we can barter. You can use your skins and cattle to exchange for our coal.”

Su Qing saw through Yeluchun’s thoughts and took the initiative to propose a swap.

“This is fine.”

Yeluchun nodded happily. He believed the commoners would be willing to trade as long as they could exchange items.

“Alright, I’ll return and bring two coal carts over in five days.”

Su Qing nodded. The business deal was considered done. She wanted to go back to Mo City. If she left without saying goodbye for a day and a night, Shuisheng would be worried.

“Can I ask Miss Su to take a look at my Imperial Father?”

Yeluchun saw that Su Qing was about to leave and hurriedly asked her to stay. Yeluchun’s eyes were sincere, and he did not hide his true thoughts.

“This is an opportunity for me to show off in front of my father.”

He did not have a mother to rely on, so he could only hold on to his father tightly.

“Alright.”

Su Qing agreed readily and followed him to the Tartan Kingdom’s palace.

The all-powerful old Emperor lay on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. His face was as pale as gold paper, and his breath was weak. It seemed that he was not far from his death.

After Su Qing checked his pulse, he found that the old Emperor had been poisoned. This poison was a slow-acting poison. It should have been given to the old Emperor two months ago.

When Su Qing told Yeluchun the results of his pulse, he clenched his fists in anger. His eyes flashed with anger. Was it his eldest brother or his second brother? Or that scorpion woman?

“Can it be cured?”

Yeluchun looked at Su Qing expectantly. Su Qing nodded and answered confidently, “Sure.”

Yeluchun was overjoyed and personally ground ink for Su Qing. Su Qing prescribed the antidote pill for him. After curing the king of a country, her medical skills and merits should be able to rise to level nine, right?

To thank Su Qing, Yeluchun personally sent her out of the border.

It was also because the First and Second Princes fought so fiercely that they did not have time to care about the border. They did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

“About the thousand-year-old Lingzhi?”

Su Qing stopped at the border and asked Yeluchun.

“I won’t hide it from Miss Su. The thousand-year-old Lingzhi is in the palace, but I can’t get it.”

Yeluchun looked troubled. The thousand-year-old Lingzhi was in the Empress’s palace. She regarded it as a treasure and was reluctant to take it out even when his father was seriously ill.

“Like this? Do you know where the Lingzhi is?”

When Su Qing heard that there was a thousand-year-old Lingzhi, she had to get it no matter how difficult it was. Her mother was still waiting to be saved!

“In the Empress’ palace.”

On this side, Su Qing had returned to Mo City, and Ji Shuisheng was still looking for Su Qing in Tacheng. Unfortunately, Tartan was in a mess, and finding Su Qing was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The struggle between the First Prince and the Second Prince had ended. The First Prince was outnumbered and was captured by the Empress. The Second Prince was heavily injured and unconscious. The soldiers on both sides had also suffered countless casualties. It was as if they were fighting a huge war with the Great Xia Kingdom.

The First Prince was pressed down by the Second Prince’s soldiers and knelt in front of the Empress. He shouted angrily, “I have Imperial Father’s Regal Emperor’s token. You are rebelling.”

The Empress had long lost her gentle and noble appearance at this moment. Her son had a shocking, bloody hole in his chest and was about to die. The person who harmed him still dared to clamor?

Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at the First Prince. She snatched the scimitar from the guard beside her and swung it at the First Prince’s neck without hesitation. Filled with hatred, she cut off the First Prince’s neck until only a layer of skin remained.

The Empress looked down at the First Prince’s corpse.

“Your dog life is worthless.”

When Saiya saw that Mother had killed her big brother, she was so scared that her face turned pale.

“Mother, you killed big brother.. What if Father blames you?”
