Chapter 374 Twice
Ji Wu gritted her teeth in anger, "If I find out who stole the fake secret formula, I will make them wish they were dead."
Although the other party did not steal the real secret recipe, they damaged the dignity of Western Xia and had to pay the price.
After receiving the letter, the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue's bodyguards did not read its contents, because it contained a secret recipe that not just anyone could see.
They sent the secret recipe directly to the Murong family.
Murong Yan opened the envelope and smelled a familiar scent.
What exactly does it smell like? Ah, I remember now, last time she had someone steal snake repellent powder from Gu's shop, they stole this kind of powder, which attracted poisonous bees that stung her beautiful face and swelled it up.
If it weren't for the timely treatment, he would have lost his life.
Murong Yan was shocked and quickly threw the secret recipe on the ground.
But it was too late.
Large numbers of butterflies, wasps, and bees were drawn by the scent.
The servants of the Murong family saw the familiar scene once again.
Miss Liu ran frantically, followed by a swarm of wasps and butterflies.
That's terrible. I remember the Sixth Miss was stung by wasps last time and her face was so swollen that it took many days to heal.
Wasps are very poisonous, and no one dares to approach them to help drive them away.
Seeing that the servants were only watching and not helping, Murong Yan threatened, "If you don't come and help, I'll have my mother sell you all off."
An old woman had a sudden inspiration. She ran to fetch a bucket of excrement and poured it directly onto Murong Yan.
Murong Yan was covered in a foul stench, but she managed to mask the smell of the bee-attracting powder and successfully chased away the wasps.
She smelled the stench on her body, felt ashamed and angry, and fainted.
The servants who carried Murong Yan back to her room all covered their mouths and noses because the stench was unbearable.
They saw that Miss Six's face and body were covered in swollen welts from wasp stings; she looked terrible, just as bad as last time.
When the head of the family, Murong Fu, went to see Murong Yan, although the servants had already washed her clean, she still had a strong smell of feces.
Murong Fu stepped into the room and almost vomited from the stench.
Murong Fu still vividly remembered the terrible ordeal Murong Yan suffered from being stung by poisonous bees last time.
This daughter was predicted by the Southern Yue National Preceptor to have an exceptionally noble destiny from birth, so Murong Fu always doted on her, giving her whatever she wanted. Now, however, he has developed a dislike for her.
Both Yan'er and Miss Su are from beyond the heavens, so why is Yan'er so much inferior to Miss Su, and why did she fall for Miss Su's tricks twice in a row?
Both times she was harmed by that medicine powder. They say you learn from your mistakes, but why hasn't Yan'er learned anything?
Ji Wu knew that Miss Su had sprinkled bee-attracting powder on the fake recipe, and had been keeping an eye out to see if any family in the capital had attracted the frenzied bites of poisonous bees.
Soon after, news arrived that it was the sixth young lady of the Murong family.
Anyone who dares to steal from the Western Xia must be prepared to face a violent storm.
Ji Wu personally led people to surround the gates of the Murong residence.
General Gongsun stepped forward and threatened, "Your sixth daughter stole a secret letter from our Western Xia. You must hand her over so that we, the Western Xia, can deal with her. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
General Gongsun spoke the Qi dialect with a very strange intonation, leaving the two gatekeepers of the Murong residence completely bewildered.
The Imperial Advisor, who had grown up in the Great Qi Dynasty, repeated General Gongsun's words, and the gatekeeper of the Murong family finally understood.
The Western Xia's demand for an explanation from the Murong family was no small matter, and the gatekeeper immediately ran into the mansion to report to the head of the family.
"Reporting to the patriarch, the Empress of Western Xia has led her people to our door, demanding that we hand over the Sixth Miss, claiming that she stole something from Her Majesty the Empress."
Murong Fu was furious. He had recently been applying to the Western Xia government for the permit to open a bank, spending a lot of money, and the application was almost approved. But now Yan'er had offended the Empress herself.
This is so disappointing.
However, he felt that Murong Yan was not entirely useless. As an extraterrestrial, she had brought many benefits to the Murong family since childhood.
It will still have value in the future.
Murong Fu personally went out of the mansion to apologize to the Empress of Western Xia and offered to compensate her with 10,000 taels of silver.
The Western Xia people were causing a great disturbance outside the Murong residence, and the news quickly reached the Seventh Prince of Nanyue.
The Seventh Prince cherished Murong Yan very much, and immediately led his men to the gate of the Murong residence, where they confronted the Empress of Western Xia.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. The theft of the letter was done by this prince, and has nothing to do with the sixth young lady of the Murong family."
Emperor Qi Jing was in his study discussing aid to the Nanyue Kingdom with eight ministers. The Nanyue Kingdom had recently suffered from severe flooding and urgently needed a large amount of relief supplies.
Some time ago, Daqi donated 100 truckloads of grain to Nanyue.
Emperor Qi Jing planned to give Nan Yue another two hundred carts for free.
Of the eight ministers, five agreed, two abstained, and only Grand Secretary Liang stood up to oppose.
"Your Majesty, the floods are spreading towards the Great Qi. Many places in the Jiangnan region of our Great Qi have also been affected by the floods. Why not save the grain and use it to help the people of Jiangnan?"
With five people in favor, it was useless for Lord Liang to oppose it alone; the resolution was essentially passed smoothly.
Just as Emperor Qi Jing was about to announce the immediate shipment of grain to the Nanyue Kingdom, Lord Liu, the commander of the Five Cities Garrison, suddenly arrived.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Western Xia and Southern Yue are facing off tensely outside the gates of the Murong residence, and it looks like they're about to fight."
Emperor Jing of Qi could no longer concern himself with sending grain to Nan Yue. The most important thing right now was to prevent the two neighboring countries from fighting in the capital of Qi, or it would lead to chaos.
Thinking that the Western Xia Empress and Miss Su had a good relationship, and that the Empress was counting on Miss Su to help heal her face, she would definitely give her some face.
"Quickly, please ask Miss Su to go and mediate."
Duke Anguo reminded him, "Your Majesty, Miss Su has no official position or post. It would be inappropriate to give orders to her. Some people might gossip that our Great Qi has no one to rely on."
Duke Anguo abstained from voting because his eldest daughter is the Empress. If he stood up to oppose the Emperor's decision, his eldest daughter would definitely be affected in the palace.
However, since it involved Miss Su, he still subtly helped to stop it.
Duke Anguo knew very well that ever since Emperor Qi Jing casually gave the Empress of Western Xia a gift of 100,000 taels of silver, Miss Su had begun to dislike Emperor Qi Jing.
When Miss Su first came to the capital, she would send some good things to the emperor, but now she only sends them to the Empress Dowager and not to the emperor, which clearly shows that she has a grudge against the emperor.
Duke Anguo himself was dissatisfied with the emperor's obsequious attitude towards foreign countries, but as the empress's father, he could not show his dissatisfaction.
Emperor Qi Jing thought about it and realized that if he asked Miss Su for help with everything, it would indeed make people think that the Great Qi had no one to rely on.
That protective cousin treats Miss Su like the apple of his eye. Last time he came over, he even said that no matter how big the problem is, don't bother his fiancée.
Emperor Qi Jing sighed and instructed, "Issue my decree that the Duke of Anguo and Grand Secretary Liang go to the Murong residence to mediate the conflict between Western Xia and Southern Yue."
