Chapter 343: Female Supreme and Destiny Princess 22
The queen pushed Jiang Qing away with a gloomy look, no longer as warm and gentle as before.
She looked at Jiang Qing rather coldly:
"It's too late to say anything now. How long do you think the Shan family will keep us? Once Jiang Yao and the Holy Son are married, we will have no reason to take action."
Jiang Qing naturally understood this truth. How tyrannical and overbearing the Shan family was could be seen from Jiang Yao's arrogance and domineering behavior. If they really married the Holy Son of the Holy Palace, would the Shan family give them a way to live?
Jiang Qing knew very clearly that it was gone.
She could only grab the Queen's sleeve and begged bitterly: "Mother Queen, I will listen to you. What do you want me to do? I will listen to you."
"Where is Qi Feng?" The Queen felt even more annoyed when she saw Jiang Qing's appearance.
If Jiang Qing hadn't given this token to Jiang Yao, how could things have become so troublesome?
Jiang Qing knew that her actions had made the Queen extremely sad, so she quickly called Qi Feng over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Qi Feng saluted the Queen.
"How many soldiers can you send now?" asked the Queen in a deep voice.
That day in the hall, after Qi Feng's identity was revealed, he took the initiative to propose cooperation with the Queen.
Qi Feng said in a deep voice: "If Jiang is willing to form an alliance with Qi, I am willing to send more than 100,000 troops on behalf of Qi to help Jiang."
The queen at that time did not agree. After all, the concepts and ideas between Jiang and Qi could not be integrated alone, and the so-called alliance undoubtedly required concessions.
But at this time, if the power of Qi was not sought, I am afraid that Jiang State would really be changed to Dan State.
Qi Feng's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he lowered his eyes and said, "If it was before the Holy Son of the Holy Palace came, I could provide you with 100,000 elite soldiers as I said before."
"But now, Jiang Yao is a person of imperial destiny, and she is going to marry the Holy Son of the Holy Palace."
"If we help you, we will undoubtedly come into conflict with the New Emperor."
The Queen's face darkened. She knew what Qi Feng meant by saying this. It was nothing more than asking them to make concessions and give more benefits.
The Queen said in a low voice: "What do you want?"
Qi Feng's lips curled up slightly: "Jiang State becomes a vassal state of Qi."
"impossible!"
The person who said this was Jiang Qing. She stood up and slapped Qi Feng in the face, full of anger and humiliation of being offended.
There has never been an example of a female-dominated country being subordinate to a male-dominated country.
Throughout history, the two countries have fought to the death and ended up in a draw.
If it is true as Qi Feng said, and Jiang State really becomes a vassal state, then the rule that women are respected will slowly be erased!
Jiang Qing is so angry, so is the Queen?
Even if she wanted to maintain her rule and seek help from Qi, it did not mean that she had to go against her ancestral teachings and make women inferior to men.
Qi Feng took in the expressions on both of their faces. He didn't mind the slap from Jiang Qing, and said with a folded hand:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Qi will not interfere with your rule, but you must pay a certain amount of tribute to Qi every year."
The Queen's expression relaxed slightly when she heard this, but she knew very well that there could be no concessions in these matters.
"If this is Qi's sincerity in negotiating, I'm afraid I won't agree." The Queen's tone was calm and low, and her sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent. "After all, you also know that if the Shan family seizes power, your Qi will not gain anything."
Qi Feng's face turned slightly grim upon hearing this, and his confident look just now obviously faded a lot.
This is true. If the Shan family gets all the say, they will probably lead the army to invade Qi soon.
The Shan family is powerful because Shan Lang can fight against a thousand people by herself. Her strength is the fundamental reason why everyone follows her.
Moreover, if Jiang State uses him as a bargaining chip, then Jiang State will have the upper hand both in terms of force and negotiation.
Even if he claimed that he was not taken seriously, a country's prince falling into the hands of the enemy would indeed undermine the morale of the army.
Especially since Shan Lang’s martial arts are so powerful.
"Then Shan Lang will be useless."
After these words were spoken, Qi Feng and the Queen looked at Jiang Qing in surprise.
She had a blank expression on her face, but with a hint of sinisterness in her eyes, she smiled at the empress: "After all, the mother is still your majesty now. Even if it's the Hongmen Banquet, there should be a poison that can destroy General Shan's kung fu, right?"
The Queen looked at Jiang Qing as if it was the first day she met him. She stared at him for a long while before suddenly smiling and saying, "As expected of my son, this is how one should be when he accomplishes great things."
Yes, what is there for her to be afraid of?
Since Shan Lang is so skilled in martial arts, let’s destroy him first.
"Besides that, please, Queen Mother, give me Jiang Chengxuan as my concubine." Jiang Qing was extremely calm. "Since General Shan has fallen, we need General Jiang to step forward."
At this moment, Jiang Qing tore off his usual gentle appearance and laid all his selfish yet sinister schemes out in the open.
She is not a fool, she is just trapped under the constraints of a benevolent ruler.
But Jiang Qing only now realized that if someone like Jiang Yao could become a lord, then why couldn't she?
Jiang Yao is obviously arrogant and uneducated, but he was chosen as the emperor because of a token?
It’s so funny!
At this time, Jiang Qing had already forgotten that Jiang Yao had written two brilliant policy papers in a row when she was in the Study Hall. That was a level she could not reach and something she could not believe.
Jiang Qing is more or less a princess who has been nurtured by the Queen for many years. She has vision and strength. At this time, she speaks out strategies against Jiang Yao and the Shan family one after another.
Qi Feng stood aside and watched how the Queen and the eldest princess of Jiang State were trying to pull Jiang State's fighting power off the chariot and weaken their own national strength.
Thinking of this, Qi Feng found it very funny.
After the three of them finished their discussion, Qi Feng returned to his room in the eldest princess's mansion.
As soon as he entered the room, he became alert.
Someone entered his room!
"Who?" Qi Feng frowned and whispered.
A person stood up, and a soft female voice flowed into his ears with the wind: "Relax."
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes trembled for a moment, he struggled for a moment, and his eyes became lifeless.
A graceful figure walked out from behind the screen. It was Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun walked up to Qi Feng and said in a seductive tone, "Tell me, what did the Queen and Jiang Qing talk about?"
Qi Feng recounted the entire conversation without any expression.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but smile more when she heard this. "Are you going to poison me?"
She took out a bottle the size of a knuckle from her sleeve and put it into Qi Feng's hand:
"Put this in Shan Lang's wine glass. This poison is colorless and tasteless. It won't kill you, but it will gradually make you lose your ability to move. In just two or three years, you'll become a complete cripple."
"Yes." Qi Feng replied calmly, holding the medicine bottle.
"Forget that I was here, forget that you ever met me."
After Jiang Yun whispered these words, a purple light gradually appeared under his feet. It was a high-level teleportation array.
"pat"
With a snap of his fingers, Qi Feng suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the empty room, a little confused, and then looked at the medicine bottle tightly held in his right hand, and the emotions in his eyes suddenly became clear.
