Chapter 390 No One Is More Suitable Than Me
Su Yulun was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly. "You, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel? I tell you, if I die, none of you will ever know where the original picture is!"
Su Ying was not afraid of his threat at all. She grabbed his collar and pulled him forward.
"Su Ying, you are crazy. What are you going to do to father?"
Su Yulun only felt a pain in his neck, and the next moment Su Ying let him go.
"Su Ying, you are too arrogant, you... um!" Su Yulun felt his neck stiffen before he could finish his words, and then a pain gradually spread from his neck to his brain.
This pain was different from the physical pain he had felt before. It seemed to be able to invade his bone marrow, as if it was going to tear his soul out of his flesh and blood.
Su Yulun curled up on the bed in agony, his eyes bulging, his body stiff and his face flushed.
He gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Su Yuyan was so frightened by this scene that she trembled all over and turned around and wanted to run.
Su Ying was too lazy to deal with the people outside. When Su Yuyan ran past her, she suddenly reached out, grabbed her and knocked her down.
After dealing with Su Yuyan, Su Ying slowly turned her head to look at Su Yulun, who was lying on the bed like a dead dog, and leisurely pulled a stool to sit down in front of his bed.
Su Yulun didn't believe that Su Ying dared to take his life. As long as he held on, no matter how painful it was, as long as he could get through it, Su Ying couldn't do anything to him!
But he underestimated Su Ying's methods. After his splitting headache, he felt as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped his neck, making it hard for him to breathe. However, Su Ying was clearly sitting there without moving.
Su Yulun only felt that his eyes were getting darker and the fear of approaching death instantly frightened him.
He looked at Su Ying pleadingly, asking her to let him go.
But Su Ying acted as if she didn't see it. There was always a sneer on the corner of her lips, as if she was mocking his self-righteousness.
Gradually, Su Yulun's vision became increasingly darker and he was about to lose consciousness.
Just when he thought he was going to die at Su Ying's hands, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Su Ying in fear and disbelief.
"Prime Minister Su, let me ask you again, where is the original picture?"
Su Yulun sat up from the bed, glared at Su Ying with hatred, and said with gritted teeth: "I'll give it to you!"
He sat up from the bed and walked to a nearby bookshelf. After gently turning a small ornament on the bookshelf, a mechanism popped out from behind the bookshelf.
Behind the mechanism is a small secret compartment with a stack of blueprints inside.
The structural drawings of the dam were confidential. Apart from him, only two craftsmen of the main project had seen the original drawings. The rest of the people divided the drawings into many small parts and handed them to different persons in charge. After completing a project, they would destroy the original drawings distributed to them.
“The original pictures are all here.”
Su Ying picked up the thick stack of drawings and looked at them carefully.
Each picture is drawn in great detail and looks like it should be real.
"If there is anything wrong with this stack of drawings, I will kill everyone in your Su family!"
Su Yulun hated it so much. He had no intention of keeping the blueprints privately. He had not yet finished his term as prime minister. However, he did not want to hand over the blueprints so easily. He just wanted to exchange them for some benefits. Who knew Su Ying would be so determined! What harm would it do to her if Su Yuyan entered the palace? There would always be someone entering the harem. Could it be that family members were not more trustworthy than outsiders?
So stupid!
After Su Ying got the blueprints, she went straight back to the palace. After entering the palace, she went to the imperial study and handed the blueprints to Xiao Jin.
"Is there anyone who can verify the authenticity of these drawings?" Although Su Ying felt that Su Yulun would not risk his career to do such a stupid thing as forging drawings, it was still safer to verify them just in case.
Xiao Jin nodded slightly and asked Zhang Shuming to find someone to check the drawing.
Su Ying looked at the stack of drawings, then glanced at Chu Yan's frowning brows, "Is there any more news from Jingzhou?"
Xiao Jin nodded, "Well, the situation is not good."
"Who are you going to ask to deliver the blueprint?"
This blueprint is of vital importance. We must ensure that it arrives in Jingzhou quickly while also ensuring its safety.
If we want to move fast, we can't have a large group marching. If we want to be safe, how can we guarantee safety if one person is riding at full speed?
Xiao Jin was also thinking about this question.
"I will select a capable general."
Su Ying suddenly said, "I'll go."
Xiao Jin suddenly looked up and refused without thinking.
Su Ying interrupted him first, "Xiao Jin, you are the king of a country now. When you deal with state affairs, you should first consider your subjects and not let any personal feelings get in the way. I will go. I can guarantee you safety and speed. You have no reason to refuse me."
Xiao Jin clenched his fists, "You are the mother of a country and my, Xiao Jin's, wife. How can I watch you put yourself in danger?" If the Southern Kingdom knew about this, and if those who wished for his downfall knew about it, would they not stop it?
"If Jingzhou is in trouble because the blueprint was not delivered in time, you as the emperor will only be in more trouble. Don't hesitate, believe me."
Xiao Jin believed in Su Ying, but was reluctant and unwilling to do so. However, thinking of the current dangerous situation in Jingzhou, he finally agreed.
Once those people confirmed that there was no problem with the drawings, she set off immediately.
Because she might leave the capital at any time, Su Ying is most worried about her two children.
At noon, the two children came back relieved and threw themselves into Su Ying's arms like little birds returning to their nests, chattering to her about the interesting things that happened while reading today.
Su Ying listened to their sweet voices and felt warm in her heart.
"Ji'er, Ling'er, mother has something to tell you."
Seeing Su Ying’s serious expression, the two little guys couldn’t help but smile.
"Mother, what's wrong? Tell us, we are listening."
"It won't be long before my mother leaves the palace for a while. We don't know when she will come back. Do you know what the most important thing is during this time when my mother is not in the palace?"
When the two little guys heard her say that she was leaving the palace, their faces drooped, but they still managed to say, "Yes, we must study hard and practice hard."
Su Ying held their little hands and shook her head, "No, for A Niang, the most important thing you have to do is to protect yourself. You have to understand that there are many bad people in this world, so no matter what you do, don't trust others easily, and never act alone. Tell Mother Zhao wherever you go, okay?"
"I understand, mother. We will be good and not run around." Dabao frowned and promised solemnly, his eyes full of reluctance when he looked at Su Ying.
Erbao even started crying, "I don't want to, I don't want my mom to go, wuwuwuwu..."
Su Ying was reluctant to leave her child, but some things still had to be done.
But she never thought that once she left, she would almost never come back.
