Before they could report the matter, the military supervisor from the imperial court arrested them all on the grounds of being rebels.
Furthermore, they were immediately escorted to the capital.
They arrested and detained almost one by one, without even giving them a chance to defend themselves.
When Emperor Yuanhe summoned Yu Nanqing back to the capital, only 100,000 of the 300,000 Dragon Cavalry remained, 200,000 had died, and many of the remaining 100,000 were wounded or disabled.
This battle was the only defeat Yu Nanqing had suffered in all these years.
At the time, some people in the capital were gloating and making fun of the battle for a while, but Yu Nanqing's previous achievements made them very powerful, and these negative opinions were quickly suppressed by many righteous people.
This battle was one that the entire Dragon Cavalry army least wanted to mention.
By the end, Wang Zhang's eyes were red, and he kept wiping them with his remaining left hand, unsure how to stop the tears from flowing.
After Yu Nanqing returned to the capital, Emperor Yuanhe ordered him to relinquish his military power. At that time, Yu Nanqing was on the verge of death, so he had no interest in military power.
Through a combination of persuasion and coercion, Emperor Yuanhe managed to take it back.
After dismissing Wang Zhang, Su Wanyan stared blankly at the fire on the stove.
What was the Princess's true intention in sending the message to execute Lü Cezhong?
Did she think that if Yu Nanqing found out about this, he would send someone to break him out of the prison?
It's not impossible.
Su Wanyan sighed deeply.
I'm so frustrated!
I should have known better than to ask.
She knew it wasn't a good thing, but she couldn't resist her curiosity!
what to do?
What should I do? ...
While scratching her hair haphazardly, she suddenly looked up and realized, "That's right, since the Eldest Princess used Su He to send her a message, doesn't that mean the Eldest Princess knows that Su He is her mole?"
The eldest princess must be very happy that Prince Gong's mansion has fallen into her trap!
Su Wanyan suddenly realized something, jumped up, and shouted, "Qiuye! Quickly bring me a brush and ink!"
Seeing that Su Wanyan was calling urgently, Qiu Ye did not dare to delay and immediately brought over a brush and ink.
Su Wanyan wrote a letter directly in the small kitchen and handed it to Qiuye: "Send it to the Princess's residence and say that it is to be given to Young Master Su!"
Qiu Ye didn't quite understand what he was saying, but she nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes."
On the other side, at the Princess's residence.
Upon receiving Su Wanyan's letter, Su He immediately went to the Princess's courtyard.
The eldest princess was leisurely lying on her side in her bedroom, resting with her eyes closed. Upon hearing that Su He had arrived, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said without even opening her eyes, "Let him in."
Su He lowered her eyes and walked into the room. Incense was burning in the room, filling the whole room with a wonderful fragrance.
The floor heating was on again in the room, so Su He didn't feel cold at all.
He took a deep breath and stepped forward: "This humble subject greets Your Highness."
The princess, lying on the bed, was only covered by a light veil. Hearing that Su He was still unwilling to change her self-address, she raised an eyebrow slightly and slowly opened her eyes: "Is this your first time entering my bedroom?"
If the eldest princess wanted to favor one of them, she would usually do so in another courtyard.
She never used her dormitory room in the main courtyard for those kinds of things.
Su He lowered her head and remained silent.
The princess didn't care. She liked Su He's attitude. Other male concubines would become obedient within a few days, which was no fun at all.
She gently inhaled the incense in the room, thoroughly enjoying it: "This incense was a special gift from my royal brother to me. Don't you like it?"
Su He hesitated for a moment before uttering two words: "I like it."
But the tone of her voice clearly indicated dislike.
The eldest princess sneered before getting to the point: "What is it?"
Su He handed over the letter: "A letter has arrived from Princess Gong."
The eldest princess didn't answer: "What are you talking about?"
"Princess Gong has invited me to meet at Fu Bao Lou tomorrow."
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes: "Are you going?"
"This humble subject is entirely at the behest of the Princess."
The princess was satisfied with his answer: "Then go."
It's probably because the message she had Su He spread worked; otherwise, why would Su Wanyan be in such a hurry to see Su He?
"Yes." Su He didn't say anything more.
After finishing the business, a hint of allure suddenly appeared in the princess's eyes: "I never allow people to act recklessly here, but you are different."
She slowly reached out her hand, the meaning of which was quite clear.
Su He clenched her fists in her sleeves, suppressing the humiliation in her heart, and slowly knelt forward.
However, just as he was about to touch the princess's hand, the princess's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Get out."
Su He paused slightly, then lowered her head without saying a word: "Yes."
The following day, at Prince Gong's Mansion.
I don’t know if it’s because Yu Nanqing told me everything he had been keeping to himself yesterday, but he was particularly energetic today.
Su Wanyan had just come from the side room when she saw that he had woken up at some point and was sitting up on his own, reading a book of miscellaneous essays.
The sunlight streaming through the window shone on him, and Su Wanyan could clearly see a pleased smile curving his lips.
Su Wanyan stared in surprise: "Rare indeed!"
Yu Nanqing rarely gets up early, and it's even rarer for her to be in such a good mood after getting up early.
"Have you washed up yet?" Su Wanyan asked.
Yu Nanqing nodded: "Mm."
Then, as if seeking praise, she added, "I washed it myself today."
Su Wanyan was even more surprised: "Wow, the sun has risen in the west!"
Yu Nanqing was used to bossing people around. She was the one who handed out the sandalwood, poured the fragrant tea, and even washed the towel for wiping her face.
After Tanaka began serving him personally, Su Wanyan thought she could finally take a break, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't let Tanaka touch her toiletries.
They insisted that she come.
According to Yu Nanqing, the sandalwood she offered was sweet, while the one Tanaka gave her was bitter.
This left Su Wanyan speechless.
Fortunately, it wasn't any strenuous work, so Su Wanyan went along with him and would come over every morning to help him wash up.
"What about breakfast? Have you eaten?" Su Wanyan asked.
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me to feed you?"
"..." Yu Nanqing choked: "I'll wait for you to eat together."
Su Wanyan smiled, stepped forward and glanced at the miscellaneous articles he was reading. Seeing that she had read them herself, she lost interest and said, "I'm going out of the manor today."
“I’ll go too!” Yu Nanqing immediately said.
"no."
Why?
"inconvenient."
"..."
Yu Nanqing was annoyed; Su Wanyan's rejection was too quick, almost without a second thought.
He was unwilling to give up and wanted to try again: "Won't you reconsider?"
"I won't consider it." Su Wanyan chuckled. "But I can tell you who I'm meeting."
"who?"
"Su He".
Yu Nanqing frowned, even more unwilling.
Even knowing they had nothing, it still felt like needles were pricking his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
"To meet alone?" Yu Nanqing asked cautiously, her tone weak.
“No, that’s not it,” Su Wanyan said. “Who knows if the Princess has other schemes? I’ll take Xiaobu with me, and Qiuye and Huangye will go too. They’ll be responsible for guarding the carriage. If anything seems amiss, we’ll run away immediately.”
