Chapter 108 Then I must also implement the core concept of "friends from afar must be punished even if they are far away"
"The princess's deeds in Qiangzhou are of immeasurable merit, and I have great respect for her."
After he finished speaking, he walked away.
Su Yuyan and Jiang Hanyu followed.
After saying goodbye at the gate of the palace, the couple returned to the reception room.
Seeing them come back, the emperor went straight to the point.
"Princess Rui, if anyone provokes you or wants to compete with you again, you can always call on me to support you."
Su Yuyan: “…”
"It's getting late after all this time. If Father doesn't return to the palace to review the memorials, I'm afraid he'll have to work late into the night."
After the emperor left, Jiang Hanyu ordered his servants to send some of Su Yuyan's favorite cakes to the bedroom.
After giving instructions to the servants, he took two steps forward and squatted down.
"Yuyan usually has the habit of taking a nap. She's been busy since lunch today, so she must be tired, right?"
"I'll carry Yuyan back to the bedroom."
Su Yuyan jumped onto his back without any pretense.
"Your Majesty is so kind."
After returning to the bedroom, Jiang Hanyu washed his hands and personally made red date milk tea for Su Yuyan.
"Are you very tired? If so, drink this glass of milk, try two pieces of your favorite cakes, and then take a rest."
Looking at Jiang Hanyu who was so considerate, Su Yuyan's face dimples slightly.
"No, I won't sleep now. If I do, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"Your Highness, please bring your unfinished government affairs to the bedroom. I will accompany you today."
Jiang Hanyu, who wanted to stick to Su Yuyan all the time but was afraid of annoying her, had stars sparkling in his handsome eyes when he heard this.
"Please be as quiet as possible while I look through the folders and booklets."
Seeing his happy face, Su Yuyan curled her lips.
"I'm not a prostitute, I'm just a companion."
"Yuyan doesn't have to do anything. Just living under the same roof with me makes me feel at ease and happy."
After boiling the milk, Jiang Hanyu went to the study and brought over a pile of folders and booklets, then sat upright at the table and began to work.
Su Yuyan was half leaning on the warm couch eating exquisite pastries.
During this time, Jiang Hanyu looked up at Su Yuyan from time to time, his eyes full of undisguised satisfaction and peace of mind.
After feeling his burning and loving gaze several times, Su Yuyan picked up a piece of cake and walked towards him.
She said nothing, but just fed the cake in her hand to his mouth.
Jiang Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then bit the pastry that his wife handed to his mouth.
The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and he felt the sweetness of the delicate little pastry in his mouth suddenly spread to his heart.
After feeding him the pastries, Su Yuyan, who had no intention of disturbing him while he was working, returned to the warm couch and drank the milk, which was no longer hot.
Just like this, two people in one house, living in peace and quiet.
Before I knew it, more than half of the documents piling up on my desk had been approved.
Another quarter of an hour later, Jiang Hanyu put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, stood up and walked towards the warm couch.
"Does Yuyan still drink milk tea?"
"Yeah, it's delicious. I want another drink."
Jiang Hanyu skillfully brewed milk tea again.
"Your Majesty."
"I am here."
Su Yuyan supported her chin with one hand.
"I also know a little about witchcraft. If someone wants to put a curse on another person, they usually do it through contact or by feeding them food."
"Why don't Shangguan Rao and Shangguan Jue, the brother and sister, take the next step?"
"Could it be that the Gu hasn't arrived yet? Or is it that the Gu they want to use requires specific conditions? And the Gu they have hasn't met the specific conditions yet?"
Jiang Hanyu pushed the prepared milk tea to Su Yuyan's hand.
"Since Yuyan mentioned the art of witchcraft to me last time, I ordered people from Wuxiang Pavilion to go to Miaojiang the next day to inquire about various matters related to Gu insects. After some investigation, my people reported back that the more powerful the Gu, the more specific conditions it requires."
"So the brother and sister haven't taken any action yet. It must be as Yuyan just predicted: either the Gu worms they need haven't been delivered to them from Miaojiang, or the Gu they have haven't met the specific requirements yet."
Su Yuyan thought about it.
"I don't think Shangguan Rao came all the way to Dafeng just to see the prince. And judging by how much Shangguan Jue loves her, if there weren't some things that had to be done by Shangguan Rao, Shangguan Jue probably wouldn't have the heart to let his sister make such a long journey."
"Plus, Shangguan Rao likes the prince, and the way she looks at him reveals a determination to win him over. Therefore, I believe the poison they are going to use on the prince is most likely a love poison."
"Given Shangguan Rao's personality, which has allowed her to call the shots since she was little, she definitely wants to win the prince's body as well as his heart. The love poison can fulfill her wish."
Jiang Huaijin held his wife's snow-white hands.
"No matter what the Gu was, their schemes were all in vain."
There was a glint of cunning in Su Yuyan's watery eyes.
"They came to nothing because I'm capable. If I weren't capable, she would have snatched my man away."
"I'm a person who won't tolerate any loss or dishonor. Shangguan Rao came all the way here to steal my man, so I can't just let her go."
"Since she likes Dafeng's men so much, I will give her a man."
Looking at her like this, Jiang Hanyu knew that Shangguan Rao was going to be in big trouble.
"What does Yuyan want me to do?"
Su Yuyan put her lips close to his ear.
"Since Shangguan Rao plays such a dirty game, I must also implement the core concept of 'Friends from afar must be punished, no matter how far they are'."
"I need the prince to find a man, he must..."
After hearing her plan, Jiang Hanyu was impressed.
"Don't mess with Yuyan, no matter who you mess with."
Let me explain this in two ways.
On this side, Shangguan Rao, who returned to the post station, could no longer hide the hatred and evil in his heart.
"Brother, I will definitely kill Su Yuyan! I will definitely kill her!"
Shangguan Jue said.
"She can't be killed."
"And you should also get rid of your hatred and hostility towards her as soon as possible."
Shangguan Rao was dumbfounded.
“Why?”
"Royal brother, you don't really intend to always abide by that shitty agreement you signed with Prince Dafeng!"
"Cooperation with the Crown Prince of Dafeng is only a temporary solution! After you ascend the throne, we will work hard to raise war horses and train troops. Once our country is strong and powerful, why would we be afraid of breaking off relations with Dafeng? Besides, by that time, King Rui, the God of War of Dafeng, will have been controlled by me with the Tongxin Gu. It will be no problem for our cavalry to conquer Dafeng's capital!"
"Anyway, I must kill Su Yuyan!"
Shangguan Jue sighed softly.
"Because I'm attracted to her."
Shangguan Rao was stunned.
"What???!!!"
"Royal brother, are you interested in her?!"
Shangguan Jue nodded slightly.
"Well, there are countless women in my East Palace, but none of them is worthy of being my queen in the future."
"I am now very sure that Su Yuyan is definitely the best candidate for this position."
"When I ascend the throne, she will be the queen who rules the country."
Shangguan Rao's defense was broken instantly.
"Royal brother, what do you like about her? That country bumpkin doesn't even have the demeanor of a lady from a noble family! How can she be worthy of being the queen of our Yuheng Kingdom?"
Shangguan Jue looked at her.
"She may seem to be acting indifferently, but every move she makes is full of hidden meanings, and she can easily counter any trick anyone throws at her."
"What does this mean? It means she's incredibly wise but appears foolish. Furthermore, she's as dazzling as a spring flower, outshining all the other women in the East Palace."
Shangguan Rao became hysterical when he heard this.
"Royal brother, are you serious about that bitch?! Do you really want that bitch to be the queen?!"
Shangguan Jue frowned slightly.
"Raorao, you can't control your emotions, and you know this all too well. That King Rui killed countless of our soldiers and generals on the battlefield. I wish I could cut him into pieces! But I can tolerate him living because you love him."
"My Royal Brother has loved you dearly since you were little. Even though your sweetheart is my Royal Brother's sworn enemy, I still traveled thousands of miles to Dafeng to negotiate terms with the Crown Prince for you."
"I will go along with you in many things, but I advise you not to take advantage of my favor and push me overboard. I don't know how angry I will be and what kind of hurtful actions I might take."
Shangguan Rao burst into tears when she heard her brother, who had held her in his hands since childhood, speak to her in such a stern tone for the first time.
"Royal brother, it will be extremely difficult for you to make her the Queen of our Yuheng Kingdom. You can't even get past the hurdles of our father and mother!"
Shangguan Jue said.
"Don't worry about this, my brother will figure it out."
Shangguan Rao could not figure out what kind of magic power Su Yuyan, the country bumpkin, had that not only made the Taoist priest with profound Taoism in Taixu Mountain switch sides to her, but also made her own brother fascinated by her.
Seeing Shangguan Rao's tears, Shangguan Jue felt distressed.
"In two days, you will have fed the Heart-to-Heart Gu with your heart blood for forty-nine days. Tomorrow I will arrange another meeting with Prince Dafeng and have him start arranging for us to meet with Prince Rui."
"Once you've placed the Heart Gu on Prince Rui, his heart and eyes will be completely devoted to you. Su Yuyan will be heartbroken to see her husband not only show no affection but also treat her with indifference. This will serve as a punishment and lesson for the embarrassment she's caused you these past few days."
"Once you succeed, my brother and the Crown Prince of Dafeng will expedite the subsequent progress so that you can return home with your beloved as soon as possible."
"When you return to our Yuheng Kingdom, you will be the only one who will be angry with others, and no one will dare to be angry with you. You are the only princess in the royal family of our Yuheng Kingdom. When you return, you can live wherever you want with your beloved."
Shangguan Rao had a look of grievance on his face.
"In my royal brother's heart, it's that bitch Su Yuyan... Is Su Yuyan more important or am I more important?"
Shangguan Jue stared at her intently.
"In your heart, who is more important, Prince Rui or my brother?"
"So, that's not the way to compare. My Royal Brother has observed that she always follows the principle of 'I won't offend anyone unless they offend me', so don't provoke her again in the future."
Shangguan Rao rolled her eyes a few times, then buried her face in Shangguan Jue's broad shoulders, crying even more sadly on purpose, trying to make her brother change his mind.
"But my royal brother, she called me a waste in front of so many people. I am a noble princess, I really can't swallow this!"
Shangguan Jue's tone was unquestionable.
"You've already given her a severe punishment for stealing her husband, so please don't have any more bad thoughts towards her..."
“That’s enough!”
Shangguan Rao closed her eyes in pain, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I understand what you mean, brother! So please stop talking!"
After saying this, Shangguan Rao ran back to her room crying.
After closing the door, Shangguan Rao's face was full of resentment and viciousness.
Su Yuyan, you'd better be able to make my royal brother obsessed with you for the rest of his life! Otherwise, the day he gets tired of you is the day I kill you!
The next day, Shangguan Jue found a little beggar to pass a message to Jiang Huaijin and make an appointment with Jiang Huaijin, just like last time.
