Even if the princess was poisoned, she could still find a way to restrain her, so she could still protect herself.
"So now is the best time to leave the capital; it's really hard to say what will happen later."
For some reason, Su Wanyan suddenly understood Yu Nanqing's previous desire for her to leave.
It's because they lack the ability and are unwilling to sacrifice others for their own benefit.
She didn't leave at the time because Yu Nanqing couldn't be separated from her.
But Su He's situation is different now. He has no worries, and she doesn't need Su He to risk his life for her.
However, Su He shook his head: "Your Majesty, as I have said, I hope that Your Majesty will not need me anymore, and that I will leave."
"Young Master Su, this could really be fatal." Su Wanyan didn't know how to persuade him.
Once you die, you have nothing left.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject would like to see what the ultimate fate of the Eldest Princess will be."
Moreover, he was sent to the Princess's residence by Su Wanyan. Now that the Princess is ill, if he leaves now, she will definitely find out that this is a conspiracy by Su Wanyan.
It was Su Wanyan who rescued him from the beggars. Even if she had ulterior motives, she still gave him a second chance, and he couldn't just leave like that.
"..." What kind of outcome could she possibly have? She's the eldest princess. If you want to see her end up, it's definitely not going to happen in a year or two. This is a protracted war, which could last for Su Wanyan half her life.
Su Wanyan knew she couldn't afford to waste her life on this.
Su Wanyan sighed softly: "What I do may not have a result."
This was the second time she had told Su He.
Everything she's doing now isn't about bringing anyone down; she's just trying her best to improve the situation at Prince Gong's Mansion.
“It’s alright.” Su He pursed her lips stubbornly. “If it doesn’t work, I will not regret it even if I die in the Princess’s mansion.”
His life was peaceful and uneventful until the appearance of the eldest princess gave him an indelible nightmare for the rest of his life.
At that time, he was desperate and helpless, with no one to turn to. Everywhere he went was a dead end. Even though he had money, no one would take him in, and buying a meal was a luxury.
He was powerless at the time; he hated, yet dared not hate.
He wanted revenge, but lacked the courage.
Now, he won't leave; he has the opportunity to hate and the courage to take revenge.
Even if Su Wanyan stops targeting the Eldest Princess, he will still use his own methods!
"Are you really not leaving?" Su Wan asked again, helplessly.
Su He firmly replied, "I won't leave."
The current Su He is nothing like the gentle and refined person she first met. She exudes a gloomy and dark aura, and even the light in her eyes has vanished.
The clarity on his face had been replaced by gloom.
Su Wanyan suddenly wondered if the Princess had noticed any changes in Su He.
Then she found the question ridiculous. The princess had so many male favorites that she couldn't even take care of them all, so how could she possibly notice Su He's changes?
"Yes," Su He suddenly said, "This humble subject has met the Prince Consort."
"Oh?" The eldest princess was ordered by Emperor Yuanhe to go to Miaotong Mountain with her husband, so it was probably sometime after that time that I met her.
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "How was it?"
"He seemed to know what I was going to do."
Before poisoning the princess, he originally intended to poison her himself, putting all the medicine into her body at once. However, Si Yang seemed to have discovered his plan and subtly hinted that he should not act rashly.
That's why he calmed down, listened to Su Wanyan's advice, and used other male concubines to finish the medicine in several batches.
Su Wanyan nodded upon hearing this: "The Eldest Princess dislikes Si Yang very much. If you want to look after each other, you should pay attention to the Eldest Princess's attitude."
"Um."
“Since you refuse to leave, I’ll give you a prescription. Go back and take a medicinal bath. If the Princess asks about it…” Su Wanyan paused here, thinking for a long time.
She definitely couldn't say that it was given to her by her, otherwise the Eldest Princess would know that Su He had come out to meet her, and given the Eldest Princess's personality, she would definitely ask her questions and find out that Su He was a doctor.
I can't take this on myself.
Who should we give credit to?
Su Wanyan thought for a while but couldn't think of anyone. As for saying that Su He had encountered some kind of miracle doctor on the road, the princess would definitely not believe such a lame excuse, and would even think that Su He was starting to hide things from her.
Su Wanyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Just say that it was the prescription given by Si Yang."
Su He was stunned: "The prince consort?"
"The prince consort once led troops to suppress bandits and quell mountain bandits, and also requested reinforcements for the border. It's normal that he knows a little about herbs."
Mingyu took Su Chien on a training trip precisely to identify medicinal herbs in the mountains, right?
"The Princess dislikes Si Yang, so it's normal that she doesn't know he has this kind of folk remedy. Anyway, just pin this on Si Yang." I heard that Si Yang is having a hard time in the Princess's residence, so he should seize this opportunity.
If she can't even react to this, then there's nothing she can do.
Su He pursed her lips: "In my opinion..."
They thought Su Wanyan would use this incident to deal a heavy blow to the Princess.
But thinking about it, Su Wanyan was right. Compared to the Eldest Princess, their strength was too weak, not to mention that the Eldest Princess had Emperor Yuanhe behind her.
"What did you think?" Su Wanyan asked.
Su He shook his head: "This humble subject understands."
Su Wanyan smiled, asked Qiuye to bring her a pen and ink, and wrote a whole page of prescriptions, handing them to Su He.
Su He folded the prescription into her pocket and said goodbye to Su Wanyan.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were bustling with activity, but it had nothing to do with Su He. He walked among the crowd, feeling particularly lonely and isolated.
At this time, a stage was set up in the front courtyard of Prince Gong's Mansion. The stage was set up by a troupe of acrobats. The front courtyard was crowded with maids and servants who came to watch the performance. Even the guards could watch for a while.
These were originally meant for the masters to see, and the stage was supposed to be set up in the courtyard. However, due to the special circumstances, special measures were taken, and the troupe of entertainers who were invited back could not even enter the courtyard.
Since the two masters in the mansion were currently unavailable, they sent the servants to join in the fun and liven up the atmosphere in the mansion.
Su Wanyan walked around the long corridor to the central courtyard, and then through the garden into the main courtyard.
Yu Nanqing was not in the main room.
Su Wanyan thought for a moment, then went to the backyard.
In a side room in the backyard, before Su Wanyan could even get close, she heard Tanaka's voice coming from inside: "Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while? You've been practicing all morning. If the Princess Consort finds out when she returns, you'll get scolded again."
Yu Nanqing frowned and pursed her lips, as if she hadn't heard Tanaka's words. She put herself on the parallel bars and walked back and forth with difficulty again and again.
Tanaka, feeling helpless and worried, called out, "Your Highness, the Empress is really coming back!"
He couldn't understand why, when the Princess Consort was around, the Prince was so obedient and well-behaved, but once she left, he became like a stubborn donkey, impossible to rouse.
