"Haha." Su Wanyan wiped her face with a towel: "How about this, you build villas all over the country, and I can stay in the villa for a while in each place I go. That way I can travel around and not suffer. Isn't that great?"

Who doesn't dream of building houses all over the country?

Su Wanyan was joking, but Yu Nanqing took it seriously, his eyes lighting up again: "Yan'er is smart, how come I didn't think of that?"

"Huh?" Su Wanyan's smile froze on her face, then her eyes lit up: "You can do it?"

"It's not something that's difficult to accomplish."

"Will it cost a lot of money? Do you have enough?" Su Wanyan asked tentatively.

Yu Nanqing asked curiously, "Yan'er has seen the Wangfu's account books, so why would she raise such a question?"

"It's just that there are many places where I need to spend money."

If Emperor Yuanhe really wanted to cut off the Dragon Cavalry's food supply, his meager silver wouldn't even be enough to buy food for the army.

Furthermore, the Dragon Cavalry originally numbered 300,000, but now only 100,000 remain, having not expanded for several years. She felt that Yu Nanqing would definitely secretly expand the army in the future.

However, she didn't know what Yu Nanqing's plans were.

He said he was returning to Beijing to resolve internal problems. Who are these internal problems?

Emperor Yuanhe was the biggest internal threat, and Su Wanyan didn't know what his solution was.

just in case……

She said, what if...

If Yu Nanqing really pulled Emperor Yuanhe off that position, who will sit on the throne after that?

Would you like to sit, Yu Nanqing?

Su Wanyan didn't dare to ask at this moment.

These things were too far-fetched for her; she didn't have such lofty ambitions.

Besides this, there was another thing that Su Wanyan cared about.

"Yu Nanqing," she called out.

"Hmm?" Yu Nanqing's voice was gentle and deep.

"Didn't they say that Xining invaded the Great Jin and captured two border cities? If internal strife breaks out in the capital at this time, won't it lead to irreversible consequences?"

Not only Xining, but also the South and North Vietnam are stirring up trouble.

What if dealing with Emperor Yuanhe at this time causes turmoil in the capital and allows other countries to take the opportunity to invade?

Su Wanyan wanted to deal with Emperor Yuanhe, but she didn't want the Great Jin Dynasty to fall into war; these were two different things.

Yu Nanqing then realized that he hadn't mentioned these things to Su Wanyan yet.

"The matter in Xining was handled by me, Yan'er, you don't need to worry."

"Huh?" Su Wanyan asked in surprise, "You said it was your doing? What happened?"

She tugged at Yu Nanqing's sleeve and pulled him to sit beside her: "Tell me quickly."

"If it weren't for that, that person wouldn't have thought of having me fight against the East Sea."

Xining needs to mobilize troops to resist, and the Southern Kingdom and Northern Vietnam also need to gather troops to defend against it. If the East China Sea comes along, they will be surrounded by enemies on all sides. Emperor Yuanhe will send out all the generals he can.

Furthermore, Emperor Yuanhe also needed an excuse to release him, a reason to eliminate him openly and legitimately without arousing suspicion.

Confronting the East China Sea is undoubtedly the most appropriate course of action.

As for why the imprisonment was arranged, it was to make other countries believe that Emperor Yuanhe wanted to punish Yu Nanqing.

Besides Emperor Yuanhe, there was also the fear of the East Sea. In order to get rid of Yu Nanqing, the East Sea would send messages to the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Yue Kingdom, so that they would also get involved in this matter.

Currently, the South and North Vietnam are merely amassing troops and have not yet launched an attack; they are likely observing the situation more than anything else.

However, it remains to be seen whether the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Yue will take any further action once the Great Jin and the Eastern Sea clash.

Su Wanyan listened with a somewhat confused expression, and then asked curiously, "How did you persuade Xining to send troops to the Great Jin? After all, the Great Jin's military strength is far superior to Xining's, and the two countries have no conflict whatsoever, so there's absolutely no reason for it to happen?"

Yu Nanqing curled his lips and looked at Su Wanyan, slowly uttering only four words: "Internal strife in Xining."

Su Wanyan widened her eyes, and then heard Yu Nanqing laugh and say, "The old king of Xining is seriously ill. His eldest son and the crown prince are fighting fiercely, and although the third prince is not favored, he is also very ambitious."

"Did you team up with one of them?" Su Wanyan couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Be careful, if you get found out, it's a crime of treason."

This is a matter that could lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family!

Su Wanyan's heart pounded with shock, not because she thought he had committed a serious crime, but because Yu Nanqing had been doing this right under Emperor Yuanhe's nose.

For so long, if even the slightest clue is discovered, Yu Nanqing will not be able to escape.

She was only surprised and alarmed after the fact.

"Yes." Yu Nanqing's gentle voice carried a hint of seriousness: "I'm being very careful."

He naturally had to be extremely cautious. He had finally made it this far, and his life with Su Wanyan had just begun. How could he possibly lose?

“However…” Yu Nanqing continued, “I am joined forces with the Fourth Prince of Xining.”

An obscure little prince, not only was he not favored, but he also had very little presence in Xining.

It is people like this who can do things without anyone noticing and without arousing much suspicion.

Su Wanyan didn't understand; she had never met any of the First or Fourth Princes of Xining.

Suddenly remembering something, she looked up and stared intently at him: "The dancer who came from Xining before, the old Duke said she was a spy from Xining, so..."

The spy was there to deliver a message to Yu Nanqing and the Fourth Prince of Xining.

Yu Nanqing gently tapped Su Wanyan's nose: "Yan'er is smart."

Su Wanyan frowned: "If I were really smart, I wouldn't have been so slow to realize this, only finding out about it after so long."

No wonder the dancer left so soon after she arrived, without making a sound.

Thinking back to when the Duke's Mansion sent them a message saying that the dancer was a spy from Xining, Yu Nanqing didn't seem surprised at all. What pleased him at the time was the spies that the Duke's Mansion had sent him.

She gently rested her head on Yu Nanqing's arm, dangling her little feet, and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yan'er doesn't need to do anything." She just needs to stay here obediently and take good care of herself.

"Then I'm a canary?" Su Wanyan joked with a smile.

Yu Nanqing's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly tried to make amends: "If Yan'er doesn't like it, I do have something here that would be better for Yan'er to do."

Su Wanyan didn't care at all. She was the kind of person who would do work when there was work to do and slack off when there wasn't. She felt that being a kept woman was not a bad thing at this time. If she were to worry about things and run around, she would only cause trouble for them.

However, upon hearing Yu Nanqing's words, Su Wanyan swallowed her words back: "What is it?"

"I need to see the Empress, but now that I think about it, it's not appropriate for me to meet with her alone. It would be more suitable for Yan'er to go instead."

Su Wanyan was startled: "Are we going to the palace?"

Under the very nose of Emperor Yuanhe?

Are you that confident?

Yu Nanqing shook his head and smiled: "I will make the arrangements at that time."

Su Wanyan nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then I'll wait for your arrangements."
