Chapter 152: The Deal with the Queen
After Song Qingwan heard the eldest princess's purpose, she was silent for a long time before she spoke.
"It's not that I don't want to be treated, it's that I have no other choice. Aunt, why don't you go find the Queen?"
"I know you've been wronged, Qingwan. The Zhao family is sorry for you."
"Why should you blame yourself, Aunt? This is the Lan family's fault. How about this? I will go with you."
"Okay then, I'll keep you safe."
Zhao Huaijin was unwilling in his heart, but with the eldest princess's support, he believed that Song Qingwan would be fine.
"Jin'er, auntie wants to know, if I let you be the emperor, would you be willing?"
"Jin'er doesn't want to."
"Oh, okay, I won't force you."
The eldest princess knew that Zhao Huaijin had already given Song Qingwan a lot of face by agreeing to let her help, and she couldn't ask for anything more.
In fact, Song Qingwan had already figured out a way to protect herself during this period. She spent a huge amount of money to make a small dagger.
If someone tried to press her hand, the dagger would pop out and directly repel the enemy, giving her the opportunity to use the space.
Therefore, Song Qingwan was not worried at all about encountering any danger again. She didn't believe that she would be caught even with all these perfect preparations.
Outside in the carriage, the eldest princess asked about Song Qingwan's injuries with concern.
"Don't worry, auntie. I'm a doctor. Those injuries are nothing to me."
"I came to you today to ask you a question: Do you want to be the queen?"
"Then let me ask you a question, have you ever thought about taking power yourself?"
"Take charge of your own affairs? You mean..."
"I think it would be more appropriate for my aunt to be the emperor of this great dynasty than for the current emperor."
"But...I am a woman."
"So what? Why can't a woman be in power? My aunt's prestige and ability are much greater than Prince Yu's."
"Don't tell this to anyone else, understand?"
"I know. I hope my aunt will consider my proposal carefully."
Song Qingwan is a modern person, and in her heart she doesn't think that women are lacking in anything.
What's more, the eldest princess lives a simple life, is brave and resourceful, and is dedicated to this country and the Zhao family. If she ascends the throne, she will definitely do better than Prince Yu.
When she asked just now, she did not miss the light in the eldest princess's eyes. She knew that the eldest princess was not completely opposed.
Rather than letting Zhao Huaijin compete with Zhao Yujun unwillingly, it is better to support the eldest princess to take the throne.
The two of them came to the Queen's Zhengyang Palace together, and the eldest princess called the palace servants to open the door.
The queen was kneeling in the hall, praying for something. Her hair was disheveled and she was mumbling something.
Seeing Song Qingwan and the eldest princess coming, the queen stood up from the ground with a vigilant look on her face.
"What are you doing here? Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Sister-in-law Queen, don't you want to go out?"
"Oh, don't try to get any information from me, Zhao Jiayi. I don't know anything."
"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I came here today to help you, to help you get out of this Zhengyang Palace."
The eldest princess walked slowly to the side and sat down, while Song Qingwan began to observe everywhere.
"The emperor is determined not to let me go. What can you do? And you, Song Qingwan, what are you doing here?"
"Of course, I have come to see my mother. If I am right, my mother has also been bewitched, right?"
"how do you know?"
"With my mother's personality, if she wasn't controlled by someone, how could she be so obedient and stay in Zhengyang Palace?"
The queen suddenly burst into laughter, she laughed so hard that tears came out, and pointed at Song Qingwan with trembling hands.
"I really made a mistake. I should have let Jun'er marry you. You are smarter than your damn mother."
"Don't insult my mother. What qualifications do you have to compete with her?"
The Queen could scold Song Qingwan however she wanted, but Pang Lingyan was her mother, the person she respected the most, and she would not tolerate anyone scolding her.
"Jiayi, why did you bring her here? To see me make fun of myself?"
"Of course not. I came here today to ask the Queen Sister-in-law to tell me how to remove the poison that has infected my brother."
"I won't tell you, just go away."
The queen turned her head and closed her eyes, refusing to answer any further questions.
Princess Jiayi finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up from her seat, grabbed the queen's hand and dragged her out of Zhengyang Palace.
"What are you doing? Jiayi, what are you going to do?"
"Let me go, Jiayi!"
The eldest princess dragged the queen out directly, made her stand outside the Zhengyang Palace, and then turned her face to make her look carefully outside the palace.
"Did you see that? These are all Zhao's now, and they will all belong to your son in the future. Are you willing to stay in that dark room for the rest of your life?"
"You will be the Queen Mother in the future, and your son will be the most honorable emperor in the world. Are you sure you want to protect the person behind you and give up your son?"
"No! How could I give up my Jun'er? When the emperor is gone, I will be able to leave naturally, and Jun'er will naturally be the emperor..."
"What about the poison? How many people in the Great Saint Dynasty have been poisoned? How many people have been harmed by this person? Including yourself. As the mother of the country, are you willing to be controlled by someone like this?"
"He will give me the antidote when the time comes. He will give me the antidote..."
"Lan Mingyan, you are so stupid! It is a tragedy for the people of the world that the Great Saint Dynasty has a queen like you. You only think about yourself and can't see how this country has been harmed by this kind of thing."
"If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! I consider others, but who has ever considered me?"
"So, I am here to save you today. Qing Wan will find a way to help you detoxify. You just need to tell me where the antidote is."
The queen was skeptical. Could Song Qingwan remove the poison? Even if she could, would she be willing to help her?
Song Qingwan seemed to have seen what the queen was thinking, and she would certainly not help the queen to detoxify for nothing.
"I helped my mother to remove the poison. My mother told me how the person behind the scenes wanted to deal with Jin, and how to remove the poison from the emperor. How do you think that works?"
"I don't know much about these. I haven't had direct contact with that person."
"Just tell me what you know, mother. We will slowly investigate the rest."
"Well, I'll tell you, you can help me get rid of the poison."
Song Qingwan nodded. She was not afraid that the queen would go back on her word, and she believed that the queen would not play tricks again.
In the end, Song Qingwan still managed to knock the queen unconscious and brought her into the space. After examination, it turned out to be just as Song Qingwan had expected, the queen's poison was not as serious as the emperor's.
It was still similar to the ingredients in flowers. With previous experience in detoxification, Song Qingwan easily detoxified the queen.
After everything was resolved, Song Qingwan brought the queen out of the space and waited quietly for her to wake up.
The eldest princess was very curious why Song Qingwan only made that request to the queen. After all, it seemed that Zhao Huaijin would not be in any danger at all at the moment.
"Nothing else matters. Jin's personal safety is more important than anything else."
