Chapter 111: What doesn't kill us only makes us more perverted
Shangguan Rao roared while retching.
"Su Yuyan, shut up!"
Su Yuyan said nothing, but just looked at her with a smile on her face.
This sudden change directly disrupted the carefully designed plan of Shangguan Jue and Jiang Huaijin!
Seeing that his own sister's life was tied to a sixty-year-old man, Shangguan Jue could not sit still.
"Crown Prince, Prince Rui, and Princess Rui, my sister has had some stomach discomfort these past few days. I will take her to see a doctor first."
After he finished speaking, Shangguan Jue took the pale-faced Shangguan Rao out of the luxurious private room.
The victory that was originally thought to be in sight turned into nothing in an instant, so Jiang Huaijin was in a bad mood at this time.
But he didn't show his dignity.
"The brother and sister left the table, and Prince Rui was not used to drinking the dark wine today, and due to health reasons, he could not eat the delicious food on the table."
"In that case, let's stop here for today. We can get together again later when both of you are in good condition."
Su Yuyan smiled innocently.
"No one has touched this table of delicacies yet, but it would be shameful to waste them. So if you're not in the mood, you can leave first. I'll eat and drink my fill first."
Jiang Huaijin, who was in a bad mood, said a few simple polite words and left with his entourage.
After Jiang Huaijin left, Su Yuyan looked at Jiang Hanyu with a smile in her eyes.
"Your Highness, cutting flesh with a blunt knife is much more fun than slicing through the Gordian knot, isn't it?"
Jiang Hanyu curled his lips.
"I used to be used to being quick and decisive, but now it's really interesting to follow Yuyan and follow her path of cutting meat with a blunt knife."
Su Yuyan made a fly-rubbing hand gesture.
"hey-hey."
"Next, I'll let them experience the true meaning of the saying 'What doesn't kill us only makes us more perverted.'"
Jiang Hanyu's expression was gentle, like spring breeze melting snow.
"Okay, I'll hit you wherever Yuyan points."
Su Yuyan hummed a sound and then began to eat with relish.
Let me explain this in two ways.
On this side, Shangguan Jue and his sister and Jiang Huaijin, who had returned to their respective residences, were all feeling very uneasy.
So, both parties simultaneously sent someone to pass on a message to the other party and arranged to meet with each other...
At midnight, the third private house behind Zhangji Carpenter Shop in the west of the city.
Jiang Huaijin, Shangguan Jue and Shangguan Rao sat around the table.
Jiang Huaijin spoke first.
"Since the Tongxin Gu was used incorrectly, you should quickly get another pair of Gu insects and use them again."
"After all, using a Gu to control King Rui is the most time-saving, labor-saving, and least expensive method."
Shangguan Jue said.
"I told you when we first met that this kind of Gu that goes against the laws of nature is rarely raised by sorcerers. This Tongxin Gu was raised specifically by Ayi Na for her beloved."
"So there is no other pair of same-hearted Gu in this world."
Jiang Huaijin didn't care at all that Shangguan Rao's life was tied to a lame old man.
"Then we can use another type of Gu on King Rui, as long as it can control his mind."
Shangguan Jue's tone was displeased.
"My brother and I have traveled thousands of miles to Dafeng to seek cooperation with you. Our ultimate goal is to help my sister win both King Rui's people and his heart."
"It's not difficult to give King Rui other Gu to control him, but if we want King Rui to obey his sister, we have to give him the Concentric Gu."
"And once this Heart-to-Heart Gu is implanted in the human body, there's no way to break it, and there's no regrets. This is one of the reasons why there are only this pair of Heart-to-Heart Gu in the world."
The original plan failed, and Jiang Huaijin was in a bad mood.
"Since there's only one pair of this Heart-Sharing Gu in the world, why weren't they more careful and thorough when administering the Gu? How did such a huge mistake happen?"
Hearing the blame in his tone, Shangguan Rao, who was in an extremely bad mood, instantly became furious.
"Who knew that Prince Rui would pick up the wine cup but not drink it! Instead, he handed it to the sixty-year-old man accompanying him! Not only that, he even gave the food he had personally put on the plate to that servant! So even if I put the Gu in his food today, he wouldn't be the one who got it in the end!"
"This Tongxin Gu is dormant before entering the human body! If I put it on King Rui's skin, it won't drill into his body on its own! How do you think I should put it in? I can't just pry open King Rui's mouth and force it in!"
"I've only just reached adulthood, and my fate is tied to an old man in his twilight years. It's already painful enough! Why do you still blame me?"
Jiang Huaijin frowned.
"If you and I don't talk about this, naturally no one other than you and me will know that you and an old man share the same fate."
Shangguan Rao was in a bad mood.
"Even if no third party knows about this, if that old man dies of old age in a few years, I'll die too! I don't want to die young!"
"So the most urgent matter now is how can you help me get that old man to my royal brother's side, so that he can protect him and send someone to southern Xinjiang to inquire about any witchcraft that can prolong life!"
Jiang Huaijin, who was good at calculating, knew very well how beneficial it was for him to have the weakness of Shangguan Rao, who shared the same fate with an old man, so he did not intend to help them in this matter.
"Prince Rui and I are sworn enemies, and Prince Rui is incredibly intelligent. You suddenly ask me to visit him and ask for a servant. How is this any different from trying to cover up one's own guilt?"
How could Shangguan Jue, who is also very shrewd, not guess what Jiang Huaijin was thinking?
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
Moreover, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
"Prince Dafeng, we have signed an agreement in black and white, and it's sealed with signatures. So we are now in the same boat."
"If you stand by and watch as my sister and I share the same fate, don't blame me for turning against you and making our agreement public."
Jiang Huaijin was furious when he was threatened, but he had no other choice.
You know, the mere fact that he and the enemy prince conspired to kill the prince, the god of war who defended the country in the hearts of the people of Dafeng, would make him infamous for eternity, not to mention the many shady things written in the agreement, such as helping the enemy prince to poison King Rui and helping the poisoned King Rui kill his father and escape...
"I once tried to kill Prince Rui, so our relationship is irreconcilable. I can go to Prince Rui's mansion and ask him for the old slave, but I doubt he will give it to me. You also heard yesterday that the old slave looks like Princess Rui's neighbor in the countryside and is now a favorite of Princess Rui."
When it comes to his own sister's life, Shangguan Jue will never be vague.
"In that case, we have to make a breakthrough with Princess Rui."
"Well, you spend money to buy the servant from Princess Rui. It's just a servant, so just give a little more money. I will pay whatever the cost is."
After he finished speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes from his wide sleeves and handed it to Jiang Huaijin.
"This is the 25,000 silver notes you paid for your appointment with Princess Rui."
Jiang Huaijin took the banknote.
"You've dealt with Princess Rui before, and you know she's a very demanding person. How much silver did you bring with you on your mission to Dafeng? Is it enough to buy a slave from her?"
"She has a huge appetite, and my money didn't come from the wind, so I don't intend to let you owe me."
Shangguan Jue: “…”
"Don't worry. The very day my sister wrote the IOU to Princess Rui, I sent a letter by eagle, asking an official from the Eastern Palace to bring a large sum of money here. He should be here soon, as the interest she charged is ridiculous."
Although Jiang Huaijin was reluctant, he had to agree.
"In that case, I will go to Prince Rui's Palace after the morning court tomorrow."
The next day, Jiang Hanyu, who had returned home after the morning court session, skillfully prepared red date milk tea for Su Yuyan.
"I've been learning how to make pine nut and poria cocos milk pudding from the chef these past few days. Yuyan, do you want to try a different flavor tomorrow?"
Su Yuyan, who was sitting opposite him, was smiling.
"Yes, no matter how delicious something is, you'll get tired of it if you keep drinking it. Your Highness, learn more and cook it for me in different ways."
Facing his wife's rudeness, Jiang Hanyu's eyes were soft and doting.
"Okay, I'll learn a few more dishes when I have time in the next few days and cook them for you and the kids."
At the same time, Xiu'er knocked on the door lightly.
"Your Highness, Princess, the doorman came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to visit us and is waiting in the reception room."
Su Yuyan's beautiful eyes are full of longing.
"Ah~ My fun is here again."
