Chapter 174: Beauty Trap
If she was not of Qin blood, he would have killed her with a single blow.
The next day.
After the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion hastily buried Su Yanqiu, Yu Wushuang passed the news of Prince Qi's Mansion to Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng was sitting in front of the window when Linglong knocked on the door and came in, handing Su Yuheng the letter from Prince Qi's Mansion.
"He's really been a scourge for thousands of years, and he's finally gone."
Linglong said: "I heard that Su Yanqiu kept chanting the young lady's name before he died."
"And said some nonsense."
Su Yuheng asked: "What nonsense?"
Linglong said: "Su Yanqiu said something before he died. He said that what he had experienced was not a dream, but the young lady's past life."
Su Yuheng's hand holding the letter paper stiffened slightly, a little in disbelief.
Could it be that Su Yanqiu saw scenes from his previous life before he died?
"Forget it. He killed so many people. This is his retribution."
"The day after tomorrow, the prince, the prince Rui, and the prince Qi will be rushing to the border. This trip is extremely dangerous, so please be careful with the prince."
Linglong nodded: "Yes, Princess."
Su Yuheng stood up from the chair and looked at Linglong.
"Have the people from Prince Rui's Mansion arrived?"
Linglong said, "The person who came was brought to the front hall."
In the front hall of Prince Li's Mansion, the black-clad guards of Prince Rui's Mansion brought a girl in a light blue skirt to Su Yuheng.
The girl covered half of her face with a veil. Her eyes were extremely clear and slightly moist, making her look pitiful.
"Take off the veil."
After Su Yuheng finished speaking, the girl slowly took off her veil, revealing a face that was 90% similar to the one in the scroll.
The black-clad guard opened the painting and handed it to Su Yuheng.
"This is the most similar person Your Highness can find."
Su Yuheng asked: "Where did you find it?"
"black market."
"Black market slaves?" Su Yuheng frowned.
"Have you got the indenture?"
The black-clad guard nodded and handed the girl's indenture to Su Yuheng.
Su Yuheng glanced at it indifferently, put away the indenture contract, and looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Su Yuheng staring at her.
"My lady, whatever you want me to do, as long as you can give me a way out, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to give you a different identity."
"May I have your name?"
The girl said timidly, "My name is Yu Zhao, and they call me Zhao Zhao."
"From Jiangdong? And a lady from a wealthy family."
Yu Zhao nodded and whispered, "My ancestors did have some connections, and I was a noblewoman in Jiangdong for over a decade. It was only later that my family suffered misfortunes, and that's why I ended up like this."
Su Yuheng took a deep breath. Prince Rui would still look for her.
He found a famous family in Jiangdong that had fallen on hard times.
"Bai Lu, take the girl to the side room of Shaohua Courtyard to wash up and change into clean clothes."
"Yes, miss."
After Bai Lu took Yu Zhao away, Zhu Que told Su Yuheng about Yun Tianhe's whereabouts in the past few days.
"Fan Lou." Su Yuheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhuque said, "Yun Tianhe is going to see Duke Gao."
Su Yuheng said: "It's just what we expected."
"By the way, which Yanjing dignitary will King Rui choose to recognize Yu Zhao?"
Zhuque said, "My princess, it's the former Left Grand Marshal Zhou."
Left Grand Marshal?
"The Left Grand Commandant has three sons and has been hoping for a daughter for years. However, his wife is too weak to bear children."
"The Grand Marshal's wife kept nagging about wanting to adopt a baby girl, so His Royal Highness Prince Rui sent someone to visit her."
"This is a free gift to a young lady from their family, so the Taiwei's wife will naturally be happy."
Su Yuheng said, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Rui would be so thoughtful."
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Lu appeared in front of Su Yuheng with Yu Zhao, who had changed into gorgeous clothes.
Yu Zhao wore a wide-sleeved glass dress, had a flower ornament on her forehead, and had her hair styled in the most fashionable bun in Yanjing. She had a dignified posture and looked like a lady from a noble family.
"It's really good. It looks more like the woman in the painting."
"Suzaku, secretly take her to see Prince Rui, and have Prince Rui take her to see the Grand Marshal."
Zhuque nodded, took Yu Zhao out of the side door of Prince Li's Mansion, and headed towards Prince Rui's Mansion.
It was sunset when Prince Rui took Yu Zhao to the Taiwei Mansion.
The Left Grand Marshal and his wife were extremely fond of Yu Zhao when they saw him.
The wife of the Grand Marshal held Yu Zhao's hand and looked at him again and again.
"This girl is indeed so pitiful."
"From now on, you can't have the surname Yu anymore. You have to change your name to Zhou."
Yu Zhao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said timidly, "Yes, ma'am."
The Taiwei's wife said, "From now on, you can't call me Madam, you have to call me Mother."
"Yes, ...mother."
After Prince Rui sent Yu Zhao to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, the Left Grand Marshal led him to a private room to discuss matters.
The Left Taiwei was a loyal and honest person, and was devoted to Dayan. In his early years, he broke one leg in a battle with the Qin State, and he took the initiative to hand over his military power.
He also hated the Qin people to the core.
In the private room, after Prince Rui told his plan to the Left Grand Marshal, the Left Grand Marshal sighed and said, "The Zhou family and I will keep this a secret."
"I was born and raised in Dayan, so naturally I don't want to see our Dayan princess marry into the Qin State."
More importantly, his eldest son Zhou Xiuyuan has some friendship with Princess Chaoyang.
Zhou Xiuyuan has always been in love with Princess Chaoyang.
Although it is unknown what Princess Chaoyang's attitude towards her son is, Zhou Xiuyuan and Princess Chaoyang have been childhood sweethearts and were close when they were in the academy.
He naturally hoped that Zhou Xiuyuan and Chaoyang could get married.
Prince Rui said, "That's good. I would also like to ask Lord Zhou and the Zhou family to keep their mouths shut, act more conscientiously, and take care of everything."
Lord Zhou said, "I understand. Your Highness, please rest assured."
Prince Rui and the Left Grand Marshal discussed for about an hour and then left the Zhou Mansion.
At nightfall, the Left General invited the head of the Zhou family to open the Zhou family ancestral hall.
He personally treated Yu Zhao as his own daughter and even wrote her name in the family tree.
Yu Zhao changed his surname to Zhou and his name to Zhou Wanying.
next day
Fanlou, Yanjing.
As usual, Yun Tianhe went to Fanlou to discuss things with Duke Gao.
In the wing room.
Yun Tianhe looked at Duke Gao opposite him.
"Duke, please don't forget your status. You should be aware of your father's temperament."
Gao Guogong said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know my identity and mission."
Yun Tianhe said coldly: "In this case, please hand over the White Tiger Order, Duke."
"As far as I know, when Zhao Yurou gave birth, the White Tiger Order fell into your and Hanxue's hands. Where is the White Tiger Order now?"
Gao Guogong said: "The White Tiger Order is not in my hands."
"What's the use of the White Tiger Order, Your Highness? The Zhao family not only looks at the White Tiger Order, but also at the Zhao bloodline."
"Isn't Zhao Yurou in your Qin State? Using her will allow us to establish a connection with the Zhao family."
Yun Tianhe said, "Without the White Tiger Order, the Zhao family will not recognize Zhao Yurou. This trip to Yanjing is ostensibly for marriage, but in reality, it is to obtain the White Tiger Order."
"Sir, don't lie. Hand over the White Tiger Order!"
Duke Gao remained silent, looking coldly at Yun Tianhe opposite him.
Naturally, he was unwilling to hand over the White Tiger Order.
He was also waiting for the King of Qi to ascend the throne of Great Yan, and use the White Tiger Order and the people of the Shen family to establish connections with the Zhao family, so as to help the King of Qi secure his throne in Great Yan.
By then, he would no longer be coerced by the Qin State.
"I said, the White Tiger Order is not in my hands!"
"Duke Gao!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very strange and full of tension.
Yun Tianhe's face flushed red and he looked at Duke Gao viciously.
Duke Gao's face turned pale and he looked a little impatient.
The two men were in a stalemate in the room for a long time and were about to fight.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, the voice of the guard came from outside the door.
"Who?"
Yun Tianhe and Duke Gao's eyes changed and they immediately rushed out of the room.
Then I saw the figure of a young girl running away to the south.
Yun Tianhe frowned slightly, strode forward and grabbed the girl's neck fiercely.
"Who are you? What did you hear?!"
Feeling suffocated, Zhou Wanying struggled hard a few times.
Then he tilted his head back and looked at Yun Tianhe.
"Let...let me go, I just took a wrong turn!"
When looking at Zhou Wanying's face, Yun Tianhe suddenly let go of his hand.
"Rou'er?"
Before he could react, the girl opened her mouth and bit his hand hard, then turned and ran away.
