Quickly wear: The heroine of the sadistic novel cultivates the ruthless way!

Xidi Kingdom has always been a vassal state of Daye.

The Xidi Kingdom's visit to Daye this time was also for the purpose of paying tribute.

The matter of paying tribute was an alliance between the two countries that was signed between the late emperor and the Xidi Kingdom.

The Xidi Kingdom produces various gemstones and pays tribute to Daye in accordance with the prescribed amount every year.

And Daye will provide Xidi with due war protection.

However, in recent years, as Xidi's strength has grown, the relationship between the two countries is no longer as harmonious and stable as before.

There are always some storms, big or small, quietly brewing in the borders.

Some time ago, the Holy Emperor also mentioned in private the issue of Xidi's tribute this time, thinking that Xidi's wild ambitions might be revealed during this visit.

In order to welcome the Xidi delegation and coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Holy Emperor specially held a grand night banquet in the palace in the western suburbs.

Almost all the official families who came to the capital came with him.

It can be said to be the most lively event in Beijing this year.

The palace in the western suburbs is located near the hunting ground. At that time, young men can also hunt in the hunting ground and show off the style of the country.

This is also a way to show the strength of Daye to the Xidi mission.

Shi Ran had also been an emperor, so he could naturally appreciate the true purpose of His Majesty's move.

However, she felt that His Majesty's move was probably a miscalculation.

The strength of Daye is not only reflected in the strength of its officials and subjects.

Being a prince is also a display of strength.

And, one of the most important displays.

After all, no matter how elite the soldiers and horses are, and how wise the officials are, if there is no qualified successor, all these established advantages will be wiped out in an instant.

According to Shi Ran's information, the leader of Xidi's mission this time was their sixth prince, Helian Chongzhi, who was also the most powerful general in Xidi known as the Light of Xidi.

There are six princes in the Xidi Kingdom, and all of them are brave and good at fighting. Among them, the third prince is now in charge of the internal affairs of Xidi, the fourth prince specializes in people's livelihood, the fifth prince is good at economic strategies, and the sixth prince is in charge of military affairs.

The whole of Xidi is prosperous and great.

In comparison, the battle for the successor in Daye seems a bit bleak.

Although His Majesty has five princes.

However, the eldest prince's biological mother was of low status and was only born as a horse-taming girl. Although the eldest prince had the title of eldest son, he was greedy for money and lustful and was not useful enough. He was reprimanded by His Majesty many times.

The second prince was the daughter of a beautiful concubine in the palace. He was frail when he was born. After getting married, he spent most of his time in bed. His Majesty granted him no need to go to court, so he had long since lost hope of becoming a heir apparent.

The third prince is a strong contender for the throne. His adoptive mother is the current queen, and his biological mother is His Majesty's beloved concubine Yue Guifei.

It's a pity that the third prince is caught in the middle of the dispute between the empress and Yue Guifei, and he will be implicated sooner or later.

The fourth prince was of ordinary origin, and his biological mother was an untitled Jieyu. However, he served in the Ministry of Household Affairs of the previous dynasty and was quite knowledgeable in political affairs. He and the third prince were now considered strong rivals.

As for the fifth prince, he has not yet entered the court, but he is said to be very talented.

Unfortunately, he is a lame and is destined to miss the throne.

Therefore, of His Majesty's five princes, only two are truly usable.

Compared with Xidi, it looks much bleak.

Shi Ran dared to be sure that Xidi's visit this time would definitely test the princes of Daye.

After all, this may be the key to Xidi's subsequent change in attitude towards Daye.

And similarly, this is also Song Weilan's opportunity.

An opportunity to truly stand out in front of the princes and officials.

Therefore, as early as after getting married, Shi Ran had been focusing on training Song Weilan in bow and horse riding.

Even the princesses in the palace will come into contact with these things.

However, it will not be studied in depth.

After all, Daye is known for its feminine beauty. Although there are women who study archery, horse riding, and archery, they are still in the minority.

The day soon came, and the vast team arrived at the western suburbs palace.

The Holy Emperor brought the Queen and Yue Guifei with him this time and stayed at the palace in the western suburbs.

Other princes and nobles were arranged to live in many hot springs next to the palace.

As for the other civil and military officials, they lived a little further away and stayed in tents above the hunting ground.

The most critical delegation from the Xidi Kingdom lived directly opposite Zhuangzi where Shi Ran lived.

This is also the arrangement of the Holy One.

He wanted his most trusted son-in-law to keep an eye on the Xidi people for him.

And this is exactly what Shi Ran wants.

There is also a special person on this trip.

Sui Xianzhi.

He also followed Princess Jing'an to the palace and was now living in Zhuangzi not far away.

And at the beginning of the month, Shi Ran spoke kindly for him in front of the Holy Emperor, and he got a job as a second-class bodyguard.

A second-class bodyguard with a rank of fourth rank. Although the power in his hands cannot be compared with that of the official officials of the previous dynasty, his official rank is high enough, and he can still walk in front of the emperor and have many opportunities to show his face in front of the emperor. It is also a rare and good job.

In fact, Shi Ran also made this favor in front of Sui Xianzhi.

The Holy Emperor has always been quite sad because of Sui Xianzhi's injury.

Although he was given the title of Captain of Light Vehicles, he still wanted to wait until his wedding before officially giving him an official position.

Shi Ranpin understood His Majesty's meaning.

Therefore, it was proposed to give this official position to Sui Xianzhi in advance.

After all, with Sui Xianzhi's current body, when will he get married? Can he get married? There is no definite number yet.

The Holy Father thought for a moment and then nodded.

Shi Ran personally went to the princess mansion to deliver this imperial edict.

Also at the princess's house, after a long time, I finally met Sui Xianzhi, who looked completely different from the handsome Fengshen before.

He was almost as thin as a skeleton, and his eyes were dark, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.

When he saw Shi Ran, he had mixed emotions in his eyes.

After hearing the content of the imperial edict, his face showed a look of emotion and excitement.

Obviously, he felt that this imperial edict was requested by Shi Ran for him.

I am afraid that I feel that Shi Ran is deeply devoted to him, and she is still thinking about his future after so long.

From the time of the accident to now, Shi Ran had not seen him for more than half a year.

Of course, during this period, Shi Ran did not forget the affectionate letters he sent every month.

However, most of those letters were ghostwritten by others.

After all, after Shi Ran wrote two letters, she felt sick and could no longer write.

Sui Xianzhi didn't know that the person who wrote the letter had changed midway, and he only thought that Shi Ran still had deep affection for him.

The reason he used to excuse Shi Ran was that he had contracted a strange disease and needed time to recover.

Because the disease can infect others, Shi Ran's request to visit was declined.

The spies placed by Shi Ran in the Grand Princess's Mansion would report on Sui Xianzhi's situation at the same time every three days.

During these days, Sui Xianzhi kept asking people to seek medical treatment in various places.

The imperial doctor's bad premonition was right.

Sui Xianzhi is inhumane.

The secret place he hoped to pass on to his heirs was torn to pieces and seriously injured by Zhang Bujin, who was crazy after taking traditional Chinese medicine.

Even if you take the best medicine, you still can't go back to the past.

On the verge of collapse, he only wanted to cure his illness and had no time to seek an official career.

Until, after more than half a year of treatment, there was no effect.

He was completely desperate.

And Shi Ran's imperial edict rekindled his desire for power.

Yes, he may not be able to be a real man anymore.

But he can be the most powerful man in the world besides the Holy One!

The ambitious Sui Xianzhi didn't know that this imperial edict was Shi Ran's bait to prevent him from continuing to be depressed, and specially asked him to fight.

After all, the more chaotic the situation becomes, the easier it will be for Shi Rancai to push Song Weilan to the top.
