The capital city, the Rong Prince's Mansion.

A young man dressed in magnificent brocade robes sat in the pavilion drinking tea.

His face was somewhat gloomy. He grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it into the pond, where the fish scrambled to eat it.

Then, with a sinister look in his eyes, he looked at Chief Minister Zhao sitting opposite him and sneered, "Even Sun Wudi is dead! How come Xiao Yu is so lucky to be alive?"

"It was Jin Mulan who saved him."

Chief Minister Zhao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said.

"Jin Mulan?"

Prince Rong snorted coldly: "Even if Jin Mulan made a move, I sent seven Grandmasters and one Great Grandmaster. Even if Jin Mulan were here, she wouldn't be unable to kill a piece of trash!"

"Could it be that Xiao Yu is also a Grandmaster?"

"I guessed," Chief Minister Zhao speculated.

"I don't care if he's a Grandmaster or not, I want him dead!"

Prince Rong slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacup to tip over. He gritted his teeth and said, "Jin Mulan is my woman, and she must be my woman!"

Over the years, the Empress has governed the Great Xia Kingdom very well and has won the hearts of the people more and more.

Prince Rong was very worried that his sister would not heed the late emperor's will after he had children... To this end, he secretly won over many court officials, and Jin Mulan was also part of his scheme.

"Since force cannot deal with him, let's use the law."

Chief Minister Zhao remained expressionless. He placed the empty teacup on the tea table and continued, "Previous events have proven that Xiao Yu is nothing but a brute! We only need to use the right methods to provoke him and make him commit a crime, and we can easily get rid of him."

"Getting him to commit a crime is easier said than done."

Prince Rong scoffed, not thinking it was an easy task.

If he were to provoke Xiao Yu, even if he managed to anger him, he would still be in the wrong.

Just like Bai Can, whose hands were crippled by Xiao Yu, he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence...

If we don't provoke Xiao Yu, how can we anger him?

This is a complete contradiction!

“It’s easy to provoke him.”

Zhao, the chief minister, poured himself another cup of tea and said slowly, "There's no need to provoke Xiao Yu... Isn't Xiao Yu very righteous? We'll take advantage of his sense of justice and have people put on a show in front of him."

"acting?"

Prince Rong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "This is indeed a brilliant plan, haha!"

...

Prince Xiao's Mansion.

After a day and a night of rest, Xiao Yu's complexion had returned to normal, but his physical injuries would not heal for a while.

Shen Youyu helped him change into a clean set of clothes.

Xiao Yu said, "Wife, help me outside to get some fresh air."

"Um."

Compared to Jin Mulan, who always needed to be coquettish with Xiao Yu, Shen Youyu almost always granted Xiao Yu's requests.

She carefully supported Xiao Yu, her delicate body pressed close to his, and took the initiative to place Xiao Yu's hand on her slender waist so that her body could support Xiao Yu's body.

"My wife is so wonderful."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but speak up.

Actually, he wasn't injured to the point of being unable to walk, but such treatment isn't always available. When there's an opportunity to act cute and take advantage, of course he'll act cute and take advantage.

We arrived outside the courtyard.

Shen Youyu helped Xiao Yu to the pavilion and carefully helped him sit down.

"Shilang, have you thought of the second half of those two poems?"

Shen Youyu suddenly asked.

She wasn't jealous; she simply wanted to know the two poems.

"No……"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I've long forgotten about it. Let's talk about it again when I have inspiration."

Then, he glanced guiltily at Shen Youyu, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she wasn't jealous.

It's unscientific, even sci-fi. How can there be such a gentle, considerate, understanding, and never jealous wife?

I even wondered if I was under the Infinite Tsukuyomi spell and was now indulging in my own beautiful dream!

While inwardly complaining, Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed Shen Youyu's fair and slender hand, and said softly, "Wife, if you like poetry, I will write you a few more poems in the future."

"good."

Shen Youyu smiled happily, thought for a moment, and then said, "I think Xianxian also likes poetry. You can write one for her too."

ah?

My wife, I'm so touched I could cry!

After chatting about romance for a while, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wife, when I came back yesterday, I didn't throw away those blood-stained clothes, did I?"

There are even design blueprints for the Qi Family Sword and Repeating Crossbow inside the clothes!

After a fierce battle with Sun Wudi last night, the design drawings were somewhat damaged and stained with blood, but this does not affect their viewing or use.

Later, when they arrived at the government office, Jin Mulan bought Xiao Yu clean clothes.

Xiao Yu carefully placed these design drawings together with his own clothes, and brought them back when he returned to the Prince's Mansion.

"The clothes have been lost, but I've kept the things inside for Juro."

Shen Youyu said, "I saw that there were many things drawn on those bloodstained papers. Shilang deliberately brought them back, so they must be useful. I kept them for now."

"That's good……"

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If all these things are lost, repainting a new one is a small matter, but if a scoundrel picks them up, the loss will be much greater."

Then, Xiao Yu said, "Since we're just idling around anyway, Niannian, go and call Zhao Haining over here."

"Yes, Brother Xiao Yu."

Yang Niannian, who had been following behind, nodded slightly and then quickly went to find Zhao Haining.
