Chapter 245 Burning into Ashes
"Master, why did you let Zhong Xueying go? Don't you want to use her to deal with the Zhong family?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we go to so much trouble to set up such a scheme?"
Luo Qingqing became even more confused. If Zhong Xueying ran away, how could they control her?
Song Qingwan smiled slightly and explained to her patiently.
"What do you think the prince would do if Zhong Xueying ran away?"
Luo Qingqing lowered her head and thought for a while, then she suddenly realized. She couldn't help but give Song Qingwan a thumbs up.
"Master is still smart."
"Go ahead, take action tonight, otherwise the prince will send Tuoba Guang and Zhong Xueying to Dongyue Kingdom early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Qingqing, I obey your command."
After explaining everything, Song Qingwan saw Luo Qingqing going to do the work, then she entered the space, took Tuoba Guang's body and left the Prince's Mansion.
Song Qingwan left the Prince's Mansion and rushed all the way out of the city. She wanted to deal with this big trouble as soon as possible. A corpse like this would rot and stink if it stayed anywhere for too long, and she didn't want this corpse to destroy her laboratory.
So Song Qingwan found a secluded and sparsely populated open space, brought Tuoba Guang out of the space, and then poured alcohol on him without hesitation.
Then he took out a fire starter, lit it and threw it on the corpse. Within half an hour, Tuoba Guang was burned into a charred corpse.
But Song Qingwan was still not satisfied, so she burned it again with alcohol in order to burn it more thoroughly. In this way, Tuoba Guang, the eighth prince of Dongyue Kingdom, turned into a handful of ashes in Song Qingwan's hands.
Song Qingwan took out the urn she had prepared in advance, put the ashes in it, and then threw it into the space. She spent ten taels of silver to buy this urn! Thinking about it, it really hurts a little.
But in order to bring down the Zhong family and the prince, just spend the ten taels of silver!
After doing all this, Song Qingwan wrote a letter to her mother, informing her to send a team of palace soldiers to bring the things to Zhao Huaijin in the northern border. Song Qingwan also wrote a family letter to Zhao Huaijin personally.
When writing letters home, Song Qingwan paused frequently, always fearing that she had written too much and made Zhao Huaijin unable to concentrate on the war.
In fact, she and Zhao Huaijin did not have much correspondence during this period. Most of the letters were written by Zhao Huaijin to Song Qingwan, and Song Qingwan's replies were just a few sentences.
It's not that Song Qingwan didn't miss Zhao Huaijin. How could she not miss him? She hadn't seen her husband for a long time.
However, Song Qingwan could only act calm and not let Zhao Huaijin worry about her, so that she could fight in the northern border with peace of mind.
They are still young and there will be plenty of time for them to get together in the future.
After finishing all this, Song Qingwan returned to the villa to rest and waited for news from Luo Qingqing on the other side.
Luo Qingqing did not disappoint Song Qingwan. She went straight to the outside of the woodshed, looked around, and said coldly.
"You all go down."
The guards at the door all looked at each other in confusion. They were guarding the door of the woodshed on the orders of the prince, and they must not make any mistakes.
Not knowing whether the concubine had obtained the prince's approval, a servant boldly stepped forward and asked.
"Does your Majesty have the prince's written order?"
"Why, can't I even have a heart-to-heart talk with Sister Zhong?"
The guards were still a little hesitant. They were not worried that the concubine might cause any trouble. After all, Concubine Luo was not the type to make unreasonable troubles.
But everyone in the Prince's Mansion knew that Concubine Zhong and Concubine Luo were incompatible. According to their speculation, Concubine Luo was definitely here to add insult to injury. So, what would they do if the two ladies started quarreling?
Luo Qingqing saw their concerns, so she spoke directly to reassure the guards.
"Don't worry about it. I'm just going to go in and talk to Sister Zhong for a few words and then I'll be out. It won't take long."
"Ah... well... okay then..."
The guards were still a little embarrassed, but the concubine in front of them was the prince's most beloved concubine, so how could they dare to offend her?
Thinking that a quarrel between two weak women would only result in a fight, something must have happened, and the prince could then step in to resolve it.
Thinking of this, the guards silently retreated to the outside of the yard. Luo Qingqing then nodded with satisfaction and pushed the door open to enter the woodshed.
Zhong Xueying, who was tied up while the door was being torn down, naturally heard the conversation between Luo Qingqing and the guards at the door. When she saw Luo Qing coming in, she snorted disdainfully and turned her head away.
Luo Qingqing calmly walked forward, squatted down and began to untie the rope on Zhong Xueying's body.
Zhong Xueying's body trembled slightly, and she turned around in shock. She asked with a wary look on her face.
"What are you doing?"
"Let you go, don't you want to go?"
"What? You want to let me go? Luo Qingqing, what are you planning to do?"
"Do I need to play tricks on you now that you are like this? I'm afraid if I hadn't come today, you would have known what would have happened to you."
Luo Qingqing's voice was not loud, but every word she said really hit the point.
Zhong Xueying naturally understood that Luo Qingqing was not exaggerating. The prince said openly that he wanted her to go to Dongyue Kingdom to be the eighth princess, but in fact he was asking her to die.
Not to mention the long journey and the bumpy carriage ride, it was still unclear whether she would make it to Dongyue alive. Even if she did make it, given the love the Emperor of Dongyue had for Tuoba Guang, would he tolerate a woman who killed his own son to live in this world?
So Zhong Xueying had already despaired, she knew that she would definitely die this time, but after hearing what Zhong Luo Qingqing said, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.
But Zhong Xueying still had some doubts. Would Luo Qingqing be so kind as to let her go?
Luo Qingqing noticed Zhong Xueying's scrutinizing gaze, and she stood up helplessly.
"It seems like you don't want to leave, so I don't need to be a good person. Please prepare for the journey, and I wish you a safe journey."
After saying this, Luo Qingqing was about to turn around and leave, but Zhong Xueying quickly stopped her.
"Hey, don't leave yet. Is what you just said true?"
Luo Qingqing curled her lips slightly, a hint of triumphant smile flashed in her eyes, she turned her head and said seriously.
"Do you think it's meaningful for me to lie to you in this situation? If you don't leave now, it will be too late."
"But even if you untie the rope for me, there are so many guards outside, and there are so many servants in the Prince's Mansion, how can I get out?"
"Qingqing, since you agreed to save your sister, you must have thought of a plan. Now let's change our clothes. You can go out with my identity. I'll be here for you."
"Will the guards at the door believe it? They are not so easy to fool."
"That's easy. I'll give you some medicine and you just need to make him unconscious."
