Chapter 674
Su Zhengyu was taken away in a daze.
Yunxi slowly sipped her tea: "This tea is good. Let's buy some to take back later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Le'an went to take care of it.
Shortly after Su Zhengyu left, Zhong Jie arrived.
She looked helpless and immediately poked Yunxi's forehead: "You silly girl, I thought you were up to something. I had everything arranged, and I almost got caught."
Yunxi blinked innocently: "Who is it?"
Zhong Jie choked.
Of course, they were people who were preparing to ambush and kill.
She had already scouted out the layout of Cuiwei Residence. With the skills of the Prince's guards, it wouldn't be difficult to take care of someone here silently.
Unexpectedly, Yunxi brought people from the Jingzhao Prefecture with her.
"What were you thinking, child? Why did you report it to the authorities?"
“My parents always told me when I was little that if I had any trouble, I should go to the government,” Yunxi said. “Is there anything wrong with that?”
Zhong Jie: ......
After a while, Zhong Jie raised her hand and affectionately patted Yunxi's head: "Very good."
After Le'an brought in the tea, the mother and daughter got up and left.
When they arrived, in order to keep up with Le'an Jixiang without being too conspicuous, the mother and daughter rode together on the same horse, and they did the same when they left.
With nothing else to do on the way, Zhong Jie asked Yunxi about her plans for the future.
"After that, we don't need to do anything, we just need to wait," Yunxi said with a smile. "Let's see if the Second Prince's daughter can protect Lord Su."
"What if we manage to save it?"
“That’s impossible,” Yunxi said. “Mother, didn’t you tell me last time that the Second Prince’s retainers were a little uneasy because of Yun Wan’s presence?”
“The Jingzhao Prefecture is a powerful force of the imperial court. Yun Wan alone cannot operate it. The Second Prince has been deposed. How could he possibly show up and do such a thing for a Su family that has no connection with him?”
Hearing her words, Zhong Jie nodded repeatedly: "You're right."
Seeing that Yunxi had a plan in mind, Zhong Jie felt relieved.
After driving their horses back to the palace, the mother and daughter each returned to their own courtyards to await news from outside.
——
As soon as Su Zhengyu was taken away, the butler went to the Yun family to find Yun Wan.
He met Yun Wan without any trouble and explained his purpose in a few words. Yun Wan did not hesitate for a moment: "I will go to my father right away and ask him to settle this matter."
Seeing how efficient Yun Wan was, the steward was so happy he almost cried.
Yun Wan acted immediately and went straight to the Second Prince's residence.
The Second Prince had always been lenient with her, so it wasn't difficult for her to see him.
But this time, after Yun Wan explained the situation, the Second Prince frowned deeply and remained silent for a long time.
Yun Wan waited for a while, and seeing that the Second Prince still showed no intention of speaking, she couldn't help but call out to him, "Father?"
"So you do know I'm your father," the Second Prince said in a deep voice. "Do you know that the Prefect of the Capital is under the First Prince's command? Do you know how trouble it will be if I try to rescue someone from him?"
Yun Wan truly didn't know this.
"But Father is the second prince, no less than the first prince. If Father gives the order personally, would the Jingzhao Prefecture dare to disobey?"
The second prince took a deep breath.
How exactly did Yun Changliang raise his daughter?
But this was, after all, his daughter. The Second Prince could only take a deep breath and say, "Now that I have been deposed as Crown Prince, things are very different from before. If the Jingzhao Prefecture knows that I want to protect the Su family, they will probably cooperate on the surface but actually kill the Su family."
Yun Wan's face paled: "...No way?"
The second prince remained silent.
Why wouldn't I?
