Chapter 472: Imperfect Solution
Yang Jinfan stopped Chao Yan from scolding him, and leaned over to whisper in the maid's ear: "It's fine if the princess doesn't want to see me. There are rumors in the capital that the Miao people have already reached Xiaoxiang. Please be careful, princess, and don't go out these days. I am not talented enough to help the princess with her illness, but it's easy for me to catch a small poisonous insect."

The maid was frightened and looked at Yang Jinfan as if she was looking at a monster.

She is just a country girl from Jiangnan, how could she remove poison? Is she really sure or is she exaggerating on purpose?

Yang Jinfan deliberately spoke to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, then he stood up and left.

It is very easy to plant a seed of doubt, and whether others believe it or not is not her concern.

Halfway through the journey, Cao Fulu intercepted Yang Jinfan's group with his sedan chair.

"My dear Princess, you finally came to the palace, why don't you go to see the emperor? The emperor misses you so much, how about you come with me and talk to the emperor?"

"Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."

Yang Jinfan got on the sedan chair, feeling a little unhappy. She was planning to go back and eat something delicious.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jingde was rubbing his brows. Too many things had happened recently, and each one was very tricky.

"Your Majesty, the Princess Royal is here."

"Let her in quickly!"

"Your Majesty, I have seen you. May your Majesty be well and safe."

Emperor Jingde walked forward and pulled Yang Jinfan to sit down. The fatigue he had suffered in recent days was finally relieved a little.

"I heard that the princess came to visit Yi'er?"

"Your Majesty, that's right. But the eldest princess caught a cold and was bedridden, so I didn't see her."

Emperor Jingde frowned, "What's wrong with Yi'er? Why is she suffering from a cold? Cao Fulu, go and ask a few imperial doctors to visit the princess and make sure she is cured."

Speaking of this daughter, Emperor Jingde was not very impressed. Her mother was simple in nature, but she acted too straightforwardly, did not know how to read people's faces, liked to tinker with strange toys, and often frightened the empress dowager sick.

He has countless beauties in his harem, and his temporary innocence and liveliness can indeed attract her, but his excessive recklessness and stupidity also annoy him.

This daughter has some folk blood and has never had a biological mother to teach her since childhood. Although she has never done anything out of line, in his eyes, she is still a smaller version of her mother.

Just as stupid and ignorant of restraint.

He remembered that she was born full-term. She was his blood after all. He had never treated her badly over the years. How could she be in such a bad physical condition when she caught a cold easily?

"The eldest princess and Yi'er have a good relationship?"

"Your Majesty, we are friends. It was indeed rash of me to come to visit you unexpectedly today. I will prepare a generous gift to apologize to the princess someday."

There was nothing much to say about the friendship between young girls, and Emperor Jingde did not care. He briefly told Yang Jinfan about how the Miao people had harmed the people of Beifeng Country.

"I wonder what the princess thinks about this matter?"

Yang Jinfan rolled her eyes silently, knowing that it would be no good to intercept her halfway. The poison in Miaojiang was indeed powerful, but it was not impossible to break it. It was just that... she didn't want to take all the responsibility on herself. "If the emperor really wants to hear it, I have a plan. It may hurt the harmony between heaven and earth, but it will work."

Since Emperor Jingde was interested, he knew it would be the right thing to do to bring her over!
"tell me the story!"

"First, send troops to encircle and suppress the Miao people who have intruded into the Central Plains, or capture them all alive, and negotiate terms with the Miao people. Either the two countries will have good relations, or they will not interfere with each other. However, the Miao people must compensate Beifeng Nation for the losses it has suffered."

"Second, we must recapture Shu, attack Miaojiang from Shu, break through the isolation between Miaojiang and Beifeng Country, and take Miaojiang directly. Send the most capable diplomat to negotiate, and it would be best if we could become one with Miaojiang without moving a single soldier."

"Third, since ancient times, peace has always been the most valuable thing when negotiating between two countries. If Miaojiang is willing, they can marry. I heard that women are respected in Miaojiang, and women are innate holy bodies for learning witchcraft. Beifeng Country can marry its prince to Miaojiang, or let the son of Miaojiang marry to the Central Plains."

Although she is a person who has been educated with advanced ideas in another world, and marriage is not fair to the protagonist at all, she now has to consider it from the perspective of the ruler, which should be a better method.

"Finally, Miaojiang has a natural advantage, with miasma as a barrier. Although Miaojiang knows about miasma, it is poisonous after all. I believe they must have spent a lot of effort to come to Beifeng Country. If they want to take revenge, fire attack is the fastest."

"The Miao region is full of rocks and lush vegetation, but without these as protection, even though the Miao region has some sinister tactics, they still have a small number of people and a weak army. If they confront the Beifeng Kingdom head-on, they will definitely be at a disadvantage."

When Emperor Jingde heard the word "fastest", he had long wanted to finalize this plan. Shu had already lost the initiative, the east coast still had to fight against Japanese pirates, the troops in Guangdong and Guangxi were not strong enough, and Yanbei was dealing with the Xiongnu and the surrounding small countries.

The Beifeng Kingdom is now under attack from all sides and he really can't wait.

"But this method only has one advantage: it's fast. Everything else is bad. If the vegetation barrier in Miaojiang is burned, I'm afraid the Central Plains will also be affected. This method should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

Without the cover of vegetation, mountains will be hit by floods and mudslides. Climate change may affect deeper areas and bring more devastating earthquakes.

Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, people are bound to suffer.

This was all the information she could provide, but she was not satisfied with any of these amounts. It seemed that any slight deviation would affect the resulting effect and deviate from the original expectations.

The best way is to hand over the person they are looking for.

Yang Jinfan curled her lips slightly. It would be difficult for her to force her way in during the day, but it was uncertain at night.

Although she didn't want to help Emperor Jingde to improve his performance, she couldn't ignore the people. If Feng Yiyi disagreed to go out and socialize with Miao Jiang, she wouldn't mind cutting the tendons of all the shopkeepers of Pinyi Pavilion and then twisting her head off and kicking it like a ball!

"What the princess said makes sense. Let me think about it. After all, Miaojiang is a tough nut to crack. How about this, you go back first and come to the palace to see me another day."

"Yes, I will retire."

After Yang Jinfan left, Cao Fulu stepped forward to pour tea. Emperor Jingde opened his mouth and said, "If we want a marriage alliance, which of my princes and princesses would be the most suitable?"

Cao Fulu was shocked. Why was the eldest princess' proposal this time so... weird?

"Your Majesty, I don't know! No one knows what the situation is like in Miaojiang. If we rashly send a prince or princess to marry, then... wouldn't that be the same as sending your life!"

Emperor Jingde didn't care about this. He believed that since they enjoyed the support of the people, they should work for the people.

"Let me think about it. Send a message to Yanbei to ask about General Gu's situation. If Yanbei is still stable, let him lead his troops to suppress the rebels in Shu."
