After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1194 Seizing this Great Merit for Supporting the World
Looking at his younger brother's terrified expression, Ye Acheng felt even more remorseful... How could he have thought of associating with such an important official's family?

He was also very proud of himself back in his hometown because he had climbed up to such an important official.

Now we're truly in a bind.

However, it wasn't him who actively sought to curry favor with Lady Hou.

Instead, it was Lady Hou who took the initiative to approach them, saying that there was a woman named Ye who was her confidante, and because she took pity on this woman, she helped them build their large business.

In retrospect, it was nothing but an excuse.

They've probably been eyeing Lingnan Prefecture for a long time.

They don't want the Ye family; the Ye family is too insignificant for them. What they want is the entire Lingnan Prefecture!
“Brother, take it easy, there’s no need to be so afraid.” Ye Acheng said, “It’s necessary to find Huang Liu and meet Brother Bai and Master Zheng. After all, they are from our Lingnan Prefecture. If we meet in a foreign land, we should get together. We don’t necessarily have to tell them what the Lady Hou asked us to do.”

I'll talk about it after I get back to Lingnan Prefecture.

Upon arriving in Lingnan Prefecture, one must become sworn brothers with the people provided by the Zhang family, register them in the Ye family genealogy, and help them develop their own forces in Lingnan Prefecture.

But these people don't necessarily have to go to the Xie and Zhang families.

Just tell that scoundrel Huang Yanglong to hand over his troops to the imperial court.

Heavens above! Ye Acheng was shocked. Had he been so bothered by Huang Yanglong that he had unknowingly started using Huang Yanglong's methods to deal with thorny issues?
"Brother, what's wrong?" Ye Awen was even more frightened when she saw him stunned in shock: "Hang in there, or I won't be able to handle it."

With a slap, Ye Acheng brushed his hand away and said, "Calm down, it's no big deal, what are you afraid of?"

To prevent his younger brother from getting sick from fright, he told Ye Awen about his plans.

Ye Awen was overjoyed: "Brother, you truly deserve to have built a business in Jiangnan Prefecture. You are indeed clever and resourceful!"

Well, Huang Yanglong deserves two points of credit.

This guy always liked to overturn tables when he was in his hometown. After he overturned tables and smashed pots so many times, they also learned some of his shameless tricks.

"Stay calm and don't go around saying anything. Just agree for now, and we'll talk about it when we get back to Lingnan Prefecture," Ye Acheng instructed.

"Mmm," Ye Awen responded, feeling much more at ease.

……

Xie Jing hadn't expected these southern barbarian brothers to be so cunning. He was praising Zhang Songyu: "Ah Qiong always thinks of me. Seeing that I was worried about the lack of troops, she immediately found me such a good source of soldiers. I am very happy."

Lingnan Prefecture is a larger place than Jiangnan Prefecture, and because of its love for life, it has a large population, making it a natural source of soldiers.

Zhang Songyu smiled: "Lingnan Prefecture is not only a source of soldiers, but also an excellent granary. High-yield potatoes and grains are abundant throughout Lingnan Prefecture. Moreover, it has vast sea areas and countless mountains... It can be attacked or defended at will."

"Therefore, my husband, we must be on good terms with the people of Lingnan Prefecture and we must never push Lingnan Prefecture onto others."

Xie Jing thought this other person was Emperor Wuxing.

However, the person Zhang Songyu was referring to was Qin Su.

Emperor Wuxing must be guarded against and destroyed.

Qin millet must be guarded against and eliminated even more.

But compared to destroying Emperor Wuxing, Zhang Songyu now wants to destroy Qin Su... because Qin Su is developing far too fast.

She not only won over Huang Yanglong and the Chen family, but also successfully used these two families to command people of all surnames throughout Lingnan Prefecture to collect porous sponges and cultivate bacteria for her medicine. "Husband, we can't wait for Emperor Wuxing's decree any longer. We must start collecting porous sponges and cultivating bacteria for medicine in the waters of Jiangnan Prefecture as soon as possible."

After the rat plague broke out in the Northwest Prefecture, Zhang Songyu asked Xie Jing to write a memorial, saying that there was also a sea area in Jiangnan Prefecture, and Jiangnan Prefecture was even closer to the Northeast Prefecture. He requested the court to move the location for cultivating fungi and making medicine to Jiangnan Prefecture.

Jiangnan Prefecture, leading all parties, will work together to cultivate bacteria and produce medicine. Once the new medicine is made, it can be sent to the plague-stricken areas more quickly to save the people of Wei.

"We also want to contribute money and effort to help with the bacterial cultivation and pharmaceutical manufacturing in Lingnan Prefecture."

"To catch them in both places at the same time... This is such a great achievement, a monumental contribution to the world. My husband absolutely cannot abandon either place. We must seize this credit for the Xie family to win the hearts of the people."

Zhang Songyu was quite emotional, and by the end, her eyes were red and filled with tears.

Xie Jing was deeply moved. He pulled Zhang Songyu into his arms, kissed her, and exclaimed, "To have such a wife is the fortune of a husband and the Xie family."

Zhang Songyu was beautiful and a good actress. Upon hearing this, she shed tears and said, "It is my greatest fortune to marry you, my husband... I only hope that when you reach the top, you will not abandon your wife."

Xie Jing laughed: "Ah Qiong is worried about this? It seems that your husband has not tried hard enough. Your husband will do his best to put Ah Qiong's mind at ease."

Having said that, it's time for some primitive exercise.

Zhang Songyu felt disgusted, but had no choice but to go along with him. She then added, "My husband, give the order tomorrow to select a sea area, collect porous sponges, and begin cultivating bacteria to make medicine. Do not stop because you think the investment is too large."

"Alright, I won't be stingy this time. For Ah Qiong's sake, I will definitely spare no effort in manpower and resources to do this money-burning business of cultivating bacteria and making medicine." After making the promise, Xie Jing immediately got to work.

After finishing his business, he fell into a deep sleep, but Zhang Songyu hurriedly got up, took a bath, and drank contraceptive medicine.

She was taking the medicine without telling Granny Zhang. That old hag always urged her to have more legitimate sons, especially after Cui Ge'er was left as a hostage in the capital. The old hag would urge her three times a day.

They persuaded her to the point that she almost wanted to die from illness!
What is Xie Jing anyway?
He wants her to give him more legitimate sons?

She felt disgusted even sleeping with Xie Jing... Before they got married, Xie Jing had maids who served him, and after the marriage, he had concubines and maids constantly coming and going. She didn't know if they had any sexually transmitted diseases!
She was afraid that if she slept with him too much, she would get infected with a sexually transmitted disease.

This is ancient times; there are no antibiotics now. If you get a sexually transmitted disease, it's worse than death.

She still has a great career to achieve, how could she ruin herself for a dirty man?
"Madam, please calm down..." Xie Lu, who was serving her bath, actually knelt down and advised, "Madam, having more legitimate sons means having more heirs, which will be more secure."

Zhang Songyu frowned, cursing Xie Lu in her heart as a "cheapskate." Did she really like legitimate sons that much? Did she really like having children that much?

“Xiao Lu, your husband has other children. It’s the same to teach them well.”

"Moreover, Cui-ge'er is being held hostage in the capital, and Lin-jie'er is somewhat timid. So in the past two years, I have only wanted to help my husband as much as possible so that he can bring Cui-ge'er home as soon as possible."

"We should spend the rest of our time properly educating Lin Jie'er. As for having another legitimate son, let nature take its course."

Ah, the heir?
Lin Jie'er is the successor she has chosen.

Zhang Songyu wanted not only to be remembered in history, but also to shock future generations... and her shock to future generations was to establish a crown princess, setting a precedent for women!
"Bring me the clothes," Zhang Songyu ordered.

Xie Lu hurriedly brought dry clothes and helped Zhang Songyu get dressed.

When Zhang Songyu returned to the inner room, got into bed, and embraced Xie Jing, she keenly noticed that Xie Jing's breathing was indeed slightly different.

Ha, you bastard, you were definitely on guard against her.

Thankfully, in her previous life, Ji Chong had taught her martial arts, the breathing techniques and hearing of martial artists, as well as how to distinguish the footsteps of martial artists. Otherwise, Xie Jing, that bastard, would have stolen all her secrets long ago!
