"Mmm." Yu Nanqing watched her focus on eating, a slight smile playing on his lips. He had no objections whatsoever.
Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. Is Your Majesty free now?"
It was Wang Zhang's voice.
"Come in and talk," Su Wanyan called out.
The next second, Wang Zhang stepped in with a notebook in his left hand, lowered his eyes and presented the notebook: "Your Majesty, this is the list of the remaining brothers. Please take a look."
"Huh?" Su Wanyan stopped eating abruptly.
What are we going to do with this?
She took the notebook from Wang Zhang and looked at Yu Nanqing: "This should be for you, right?"
Yu Nanqing looked up at Wang Zhang, who quickly said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates and brothers have discussed it. From now on, all brothers will obey Your Majesty's orders. As long as Your Majesty commands, all brothers will do their utmost."
As he spoke, Wang Zhang knelt down and kowtowed to Su Wanyan.
"Wait, wait, wait." Su Wanyan stopped him. "Get up first!"
She originally took them into the Prince's Mansion thinking that Yu Nanqing would need them. Moreover, they were Yu Nanqing's old subordinates, and since Yu Nanqing was currently ill, it was more appropriate for him to be at his disposal.
In other words, she was only responsible for receiving the money and had no intention of managing it.
She can't even take care of herself, let alone others?
She's not a very diligent person.
Moreover, the Prince's mansion is so large that even if Yu Nanqing cannot attend to every detail, they can make their own arrangements depending on the situation.
He's such a grown man, he'll definitely have no problem with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
As for the others, those are not within her scope of concern.
"This still needs to be done by your prince."
“But…” Wang Zhang hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
But these are their prince's orders.
After Su Wanyan left yesterday, the prince specifically instructed that all the remaining people should be placed under Su Wanyan's command.
Wang Zhang looked at Yu Nanqing, who coughed lightly. "Su Wanyan... I'm afraid..."
Yu Nanqing's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of difficulty.
Seeing Yu Nanqing looking half-dead, Su Wanyan frowned and put the list aside: "How about this, I can keep an eye on it for you first, and then return it to you when you feel better."
Yu Nanqing smiled and said, "Okay."
He doesn't know how long his body can hold out. Arranging them under Su Wanyan's command will at least prevent her from being controlled by that person, and even if something happens, he can try his best to protect her.
“Um…” Wang Zhang had something else to report: “Your Majesty, these past two days the brothers have been crammed into one side room to rest, which is quite inconvenient, so…”
As he spoke, Wang Zhang lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.
Now, there are not only them in the Prince's mansion, but also Emperor Yuanhe's men. They have been hiding for several years, and now they live under Emperor Yuanhe's nose. He is afraid that he might accidentally cause trouble for his master.
Therefore, they try not to do many unnecessary things, which makes them very reserved in the mansion.
Even when it comes to allocating side rooms, they themselves don't dare to act arrogantly.
That's why he said that having something to do makes them feel more relaxed.
Su Wanyan: "..."
Is there any further investigation into this matter?
With so many rooms in the mansion, why don't you just allocate them as you see fit?
Su Wanyan was silent for a moment before speaking, "I understand, Master Wang. You can go out first. I'll discuss this with the Prince."
"Yes." Wang Zhang respectfully withdrew.
As soon as the door closed, Su Wanyan immediately turned to look at Yu Nanqing: "Why do you still need to interfere? Do you have to be so meticulous?"
Su Wanyan was stunned by what she realized: "Does this mean we have to arrange everything for them, from their food and clothing to their housing and transportation?"
There were twenty or thirty people!
"Just give the instructions; there's no need to do everything yourself," Yu Nanqing said with a smile.
"You're still laughing." Su Wanyan really didn't like things she wasn't interested in, but thankfully it was only temporary.
Yu Nanqing pursed his thin lips, moved his hand, and just as he lightly touched Su Wanyan's slender fingers, Su Wanyan immediately withdrew her hand: "What are you doing?"
"...I just wanted to say that I would help you."
"Come on, you're sleeping for 20 out of 24 hours a day, what are you trying to help with?"
Yu Nanqing's brow twitched slightly: "24 hours? What does that mean?"
"I'm not telling you." Su Wanyan was annoyed and didn't want to talk.
Seeing that Su Wanyan was not happy, Yu Nanqing opened his mouth slightly: "Su Wanyan."
"what?"
"If you want to succeed, you must first have the right tools." Yu Nanqing slowly reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair from Su Wanyan's forehead behind her ear: "Wang Zhang and the others are your weapons."
Even though they are now a disorganized mess, Yu Nanqing knows that Su Wanyan can bring them together.
From the time she met Su Wanyan until now, she may seem careless and thoughtless in her actions, but in reality, she always does things after careful consideration.
She is not impulsive or arrogant in the face of adversity; she can analyze the pros and cons. She can exploit Xu Si's weaknesses and also sincerely believe in the rescued Su Chien.
These are abilities only leaders possess.
Su Wanyan has it.
Su Wanyan tilted her head back uncomfortably and slapped Yu Nanqing's hand away: "I know, just talk, why do you keep touching me?"
To some extent, what Yu Nanqing said makes sense.
He's not recovering anytime soon, so she needs to have people she can use, otherwise she'll be stretched thin no matter what she does.
Yu Nanqing simply smiled and asked, "You don't like me touching you?"
"I don't like it when people touch me without permission."
"Okay, I'll be more careful next time," Yu Nanqing said softly.
He should be thankful that Su Wanyan treats everyone this way, not just him.
He could ask for nothing more.
"The Prince's mansion... can support over a hundred secret guards." Yu Nanqing looked at Su Wanyan, his voice soft as he spoke, "The mansion's soldiers can number up to three hundred, and the servants, maids, and household servants can number up to a thousand..."
"Why are you telling me all this?" Su Wanyan asked curiously. "You want me to raise an army? Do you think that's possible? Where am I supposed to find people? I can't even tell which way is north, south, east, or west in the capital. Yu Nanqing, you think too highly of me. Besides, raising these people costs money, a lot of money. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money? You should get better and do it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing simply chuckled and said, "Alright."
This is indeed too early for Su Wanyan at the moment.
He is now a cripple, unable to do anything, and as long as he doesn't die during this time, that person cannot bring any charges against him.
He will endure it, until Su Wanyan is able to protect herself.
"Su Wanyan."
"What?"
"How is Su Chi'en's martial arts practice?"
Su Wanyan was taken aback: "Let Chi En learn martial arts?"
"He was able to survive in the capital alone for so long. When we were assassinated, he was able to organize his companions and draw away the Imperial Guards who were searching for us. He is smart, capable, and able to assess the situation. Whether it is courage or skill, he is a good prospect for martial arts."
