Chapter 191 The Purpose of Doing All This
Leng Xinrou looked at Song Qingwan warily as she walked towards her, while Zhao Huaijin behind her followed Song Qingwan closely with a sword in his hand, ready to attack her at any time.
Leng Xinrou suddenly smiled: "Song Qingwan, you are really lucky. This is your husband, Prince Huai, right? He is indeed very handsome and cares about you very much."
"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."
"Why did you come in to see me? You took the queen insect away too. Are you here to show off your happiness to me?"
"Of course not. Your Majesty is devoted to great things and is not obsessed with love affairs. If I show my affection in front of you, wouldn't that be humiliating myself?"
"Huh? You are quite self-aware. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I came to see the Empress to confirm my own guess."
"Guess what?"
"You and the Emperor have put so much effort into developing Onigashima into its current size. I'm afraid it's not just for raising snakes and assassins, right?"
With the help of Zhao Huaijin, Song Qingwan sat down on the chair next to her. Zhao Huaijin considerately took the kettle and gave her a sip of water.
Leng Xinrou's face remained calm for a long while, with no expression visible. After a long while, she seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"That's right, I naturally have bigger plans."
"Then may I ask whether Your Majesty wants to unify the world? Was it Your Majesty's idea to poison the Great Saint Emperor or yours, Zhao Yuanshen?"
"Haha, Song Qingwan, you are indeed very smart. If I had a counselor like you by my side, I'm afraid I would have accomplished it long ago."
"So what did I guess right? You and Zhao Yuanshen have been working together in secret for a long time, right?"
"That idiot! He was so stupid that he was crippled by that bitch Murong You!"
Song Qingwan smiled. She didn't tell Leng Xinrou that it was actually his idea to cripple Zhao Yuanshen.
That's right, she discovered early on that Zhao Yuanshen and the emperor not only had their own selfish motives but also seemed to have some kind of connection.
Ever since Song Qingwan found out that the mother-child Gu was not created by Murong You, she began to suspect that Zhao Yuanshen and Leng Xinrou were secretly cooperating, so she chose to use Murong You to directly cripple Zhao Yuanshen.
In this way, Leng Xinrou is the only one left and she is alone. No matter how smart and capable Leng Xinrou is, she is just a concubine and naturally cannot do anything openly.
That's why Leng Xinrou had no choice but to return to Ghost Island, and all this was within Song Qingwan's calculations.
"Zhao Yuanshen is not stupid, he is just a little too self-righteous.
He thought that if he could get rid of the Great Saint's imperial power with the help of the Queen, he could return to the Great Saint as the emperor. How big of a behemoth is the Great Saint compared to the Southern Xinjiang regime? Then he could mobilize his troops to destroy Southern Xinjiang directly. Your Majesty, you have a mere ghost island, will he take it seriously? "
Concubine Rou was silent. She knew that Song Qingwan's analysis was absolutely correct. It was only after she returned to Ghost Island that she gradually realized that Zhao Yuanshen had been using her from the beginning to the end.
"He once promised me that if he became the emperor one day, he would take me away from this small southern border, and then he would take me to conquer the world."
"So, your Majesty has been smart all her life, but she was blinded by Zhao Yuanshen's sugar-coated bullets."
Song Qingwan shook her head and continued to ask, "I am very curious, Madam, how did you become a concubine by the emperor's side? You are willing to stay in his harem like this. Don't you hate him?"
"How can I not hate him? I was lucky enough to escape when the Leng family was destroyed, and by chance I ended up on Ghost Island. There were many snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals on the island, but I didn't expect that I would survive by chance."
"So the Queen has started to raise snakes to take revenge on the royal family?"
"That's right. My original plan was to make the mother-child Gu and use the poison of the venomous snake to poison the emperor to death to avenge my Leng family, but Zhao Yuanshen took the initiative to find me and discuss cooperation."
Song Qingwan nodded and understood. It seemed that Concubine Rou's ambition was being made bigger and bigger by Zhao Yuanshen's big plans one after another.
As for the death warriors and snake pits on Ghost Island, it was probably Zhao Yuanshen who proposed to raise them.
Poor Emperor of Southern Xinjiang still thought that this ghost island was serving him. I wonder if the emperor, who has already fallen into madness, would go crazy if he knew the truth?
After hearing the answer she wanted, Song Qingwan started to walk out, but Concubine Rou suddenly stopped her.
"Song Qingwan, are you asking me this because you want to take control of the Southern Xinjiang government?"
Song Qingwan stopped, turned around and smiled at Concubine Rou.
"I have no intention of controlling the southern Xinjiang government, but I have people I want to support."
"The one you are supporting? Who is the Pei family?"
"You don't need to worry about this. My job is to clear all obstacles for him and let him board the plane smoothly."
After Song Qingwan finished speaking, she walked out of the secret room with the help of Zhao Huaijin without looking back.
If only the Pei family wanted to be the emperor, why would Song Qingwan go to so much trouble to remove the two hard thorns, Zhao Yuanshen and Concubine Rou?
She did this naturally for her relative, her younger brother Song Changbai who lived far away in the Great Saint Dynasty.
That’s right, Song Qingwan had reached an agreement with Princess Yueyao early on.
If she uproots Zhao Yuanshen and the forces behind him for Southern Xinjiang, she will support Song Changbai to ascend the throne.
The Pei family is naturally happy to support their own nephew, and I believe this is something everyone is happy to see.
Now that it was almost done, Song Qingwan ordered Awu to take people back to the Great Sage Capital to pick up Song Changbai.
Returning to the room prepared by the Pei family for Song Qingwan, Zhao Huaijin quickly helped her lie flat on the bed.
"Are you exhausted? Wan."
"I'm fine, but this child is suffering with me, running around all day long."
"It's my fault for not knowing about your pregnancy right away, causing you to suffer so much."
Zhao Huaijin's face was filled with guilt, thinking about how when he went to Northern Xinjiang, Song Qingwan was pregnant with their child and had to worry all day and do so many things.
Especially thinking about everything that happened on the ghost island this time, if he hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid both mother and son would have lost their lives there.
"From now on, don't leave my side. I will never allow you to face such danger alone again."
"Ajin, I can't be your subordinate, nor can I be your burden. I want to be someone who can help you behind your back."
"But Awan, you are my wife. I am strong enough now. I don't need you to risk your life alone anymore. Do you understand?"
Song Qingwan raised her head and met Zhao Huaijin's anxious face. She nodded.
She knew that the little prince who would act arrogant, helpless, and cute in front of her had grown up and become the Prince Huai who was now independent and capable of ruling the world.
Song Qingwan was just about to praise Zhao Huaijin a few words, but he pouted and rubbed his head in Song Qingwan's arms, then kissed her on the face.
Song Qingwan couldn't help but roll her eyes. She just wanted to praise him, but this guy couldn't be serious for three seconds.
"Awan, I missed you so much, and this little bastard won't come out, so we can't be intimate."
"Do you miss it very much?"
