"Please help me secretly ask the prince to come out. I need to see him for something."
Hearing that she wanted to see the prince, Jiang Weiyan looked at her suspiciously, "What do you want to do with the prince?"
"Don't worry about it. Just help me get him out. Tell him I have something to discuss with the prince. He will definitely be willing to see me."
Ruan Hezhu was very confident that after the incident with the fire gun, the prince would definitely discover that she had extraordinary abilities. If she asked him out, he would definitely come out to meet her.
"It's not appropriate for you to see the prince at this time."
Jiang Weiyan's expression changed a little, not to mention whether she could see the prince.
But even with his current status, he cannot go to the prince, because the prince is very dissatisfied with him because of the matter of the second branch of the Jiang family.
If he went to ask for an audience, the prince probably wouldn't see him. Even if he did, he would make an appointment with the prince on behalf of Ruan Hezhu, which would make his relationship with Yu Sanniang public.
Will you personally hand the evidence to the prince?
For whatever reason, he would not do that.
"If you don't want to help me, then don't bother with my business. From now on, we will go our separate ways. Don't follow me anymore."
Seeing that he was unwilling, Ruan Hezhu didn't want to get entangled with him anymore.
Although Jiang Weiyan is her biological father, he is also King Chen's man. If he knew that she and Song Yu had broken up, it is not certain who he would help.
Now that she's out, she'll figure it out on her own.
After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave. Seeing this, Jiang Weiyan quickly stopped her.
"You are penniless now, where can you go?"
Jiang Weiyan felt a little regretful. He was forced by her to bring her out. If he had known earlier, he would not have gone to the other courtyard.
But now that the person has been brought out, he can't just ignore it.
"I'll take you to the inn ahead to settle down first."
Ruan Hezhu had thought about bringing some silver with her, but the yard was not her residence, so there was no silver at all, not even a decent piece of jewelry. It was obvious that Song Yu had made such a special arrangement because he was afraid that she would run away.
After thinking for a moment, she followed him. It was getting dark soon and there was a curfew in the city. If she slept outside, she would definitely be caught.
Jiang Weiyan found a remote inn for her to stay in.
After entering the room, Ruan Hezhu took off his hat and looked around. Although the inn was average, it was still clean, so he decided to stay there for the time being.
"Leave me some money and you can go."
Jiang Weiyan sighed and finally took out all the silver he had on him.
He looked at Ruan Hezhu's cautious expression and asked tentatively.
"What exactly do you want from the prince? Are you having second thoughts about him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ruan Hezhu's eyes pierced Jiang Weiyan like sharp swords.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows about my relationship with the prince. Even if he is temporarily engaged to Lin Jing, it is to protect my safety. How could I have second thoughts about him?"
Ruan Hezhu refuted without thinking. After all, these were the excuses Song Yu used to imprison her.
She couldn't tell anyone her true thoughts now, not even her biological parents. In this world, no one was worthy of her trust except herself.
This is a matter of her life, she can't gamble.
"As for why I escaped and why I wanted to see the prince, I can't tell you yet. Anyway, I did this for the prince."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Weiyan breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Ruan Hezhu came out to meet the Prince of Chen.
But after she came out, her behavior was very strange. It was obvious that she was hiding from the prince. Seeing that she was looking for the prince again, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
What she said was serious and it made sense. She had no reason to betray the prince. Jiang Weiyan felt that he was worrying too much.
Seeing his expression wavering, Ruan Hezhu quickly added, "Because of me, the Crown Prince has the help of the fire gun. I want to see the Crown Prince and find a way to destroy the fire gun. But before I succeed, I can't let anyone know, including the Crown Prince."
"The prince is a soft-hearted man. Although he committed treason, he has good intentions and cannot bear to harm the crown prince. If he continues like this, he will never accomplish anything great. I had no choice but to carry him on my back."
"Do you really have a way to destroy the musket?"
Jiang Weiyan's eyes lit up. Although the prince had not yet trained a musket army, he had this weapon in his hands, which was always a concern for the prince.
The prince was somewhat dissatisfied with Ruan Hezhu because of this incident. If Ruan Hezhu could make up for this mistake, then Prince Chen's cause would surely succeed, and Ruan Hezhu would have made a great contribution.
By then, Prince Chen will ascend the throne, and both father and daughter will be meritorious ministers, so it is not impossible for them to be granted titles of nobility and appointed as prime ministers.
"Of course there is, but this must be done by the prince."
Ruan Hezhu continued to fool him without any guilt for deceiving him.
"I know you're afraid people will know about our relationship and you're unwilling to ask the prince for me. I'll find a way myself."
"What can you do? The Crown Prince lives in the palace and rarely comes out. With your current abilities, it's almost impossible for you to see him."
Jiang Weiyan thought for a moment and made up his mind, "It's getting late today, you should rest first. After the morning court tomorrow, I will find a way to send a message to the Crown Prince."
It was easy for him to enter the palace, bribe a eunuch, and send a message to the prince.
Since Ruan Hezhu's move was to help King Chen accomplish great things, he would naturally support it.
"Thank you, Minister Jiang. I'll wait here."
Ruan Hezhu was delighted. As long as she could see the prince, her life would be saved.
With her help, the prince will definitely defeat King Chen.
After all, the future of the Yuan Dynasty is in her hands.
"Then you should have a good rest first. I'm leaving too."
Jiang Weiyan felt a little lonely, thinking that she was willing to acknowledge him as her father, but in the end, she was still unwilling to call him daddy.
Never mind. When things become big, they can recognize each other openly, and he will have plenty of time to make it up to her.
When Jiang Weiyan returned to the house, it was already late. He pushed open the door and saw Su Wu with disheveled hair sitting in the dim light.
Jiang Weiyan almost screamed in fright, "Wu'er, are you awake?"
"Yeah, it's already so late. I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time. Where is my husband?"
Su Wu rubbed his aching forehead and asked in a daze.
Seeing that she had just woken up, Jiang Weiyan breathed a sigh of relief. "You are too tired, so go to bed first. I'm going to the study to work. I just came back after finishing my work. Go to sleep."
As he said that, he walked forward to support Su Wu and lay down on the bed with her.
Su Wu lowered her eyes, and when she saw the mud on his feet, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
He was treating her like a fool. Since she had given him a chance and he didn't know how to cherish it, she shouldn't blame her for being cruel.
