What Su He could think of, how could Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan not think of?
The procession returning to the capital was merely a smokescreen, while Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing had already ridden back to the city gate via a back road.
When the group of thugs realized the situation was not right, they immediately ordered a retreat. However, how could Tanaka Kobu and the others let the evidence delivered to their doorstep get away so easily?
The moment they appeared, the people from Prince Gong's Mansion had already surrounded them.
Although they outnumbered them, Xiaobu and Tanaka had a clear objective: to capture just one of them. To prevent them from committing suicide by poison, they immediately dislocated their jaws.
Meanwhile, Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing returned to the capital at dusk.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the two even disguised themselves.
Meanwhile, news of Yu Nanqing's leg ailment being cured spread like wildfire throughout the capital, and even Su Wanyan, who had just returned to the capital, heard the rumor.
"Strange," Su Wanyan said curiously, "How did the news spread so quickly?"
How did the news get back from the hunting grounds these past few days?
Originally intending to return to her residence, Su Wanyan hurriedly patted Yu Nanqing's hand: "Dismount, dismount, let's go to Fubaolou. I need to go and ask."
However, Yu Nanqing held her tightly: "We just came back from the hunting grounds, there's no rush. We can find out more tomorrow."
Su Wanyan frowned: "Dismount."
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips: "Why don't you go back to the manor first, and I'll go and find out the truth."
"Oh no!" Su Wanyan pushed him away with her elbow: "You're too close, I'm uncomfortable. Get off the horse!"
"..." Yu Nanqing said helplessly, "Don't move, I'll go down."
"I was going to make you dismount anyway," Su Wanyan glanced at him. "I never intended to walk."
"..." Yu Nanqing was completely speechless.
The sun sets in the west.
The sky grew completely dark.
Inside the Hall of Nourishing Life in the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yuanhe, wearing a bright yellow outer robe, strolled leisurely through the hall.
The bandages wrapped around his body made him look somewhat disheveled, and a hint of fierceness lingered in his composed brows.
Before long, Eunuch Liu entered from outside the hall, bowing respectfully, and cautiously called out, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuanhe then stopped pacing back and forth and asked slowly, "How is it?"
Liu Gonggong shook off the dust and knelt shakily on the ground: "Your Majesty, Prince Gong and Princess Gong have...have arrived safely at the residence."
After these words were spoken, a long silence fell over the Hall of Nourishing Life.
The candlelight burned dimly in the hall.
With his forehead touching the ground, cold sweat poured down his temples. He knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
After a long while, a heavy breath was heard from Emperor Yuanhe.
His eyes were filled with fury, as if a storm was brewing, yet his expression was surprisingly calm, so calm that it seemed he would order Liu Gonggong to be dragged away and executed at any moment.
He slowly turned around, walked around the imperial table, and quietly sat on the dragon throne, his hand resting on the table, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.
After a long silence, the voice finally rang out in the hall: "Once Yue Duan returns, have him come to see me immediately."
"...Yes, yes."
Emperor Yuanhe opened his mouth as if to say something more, but then closed it again and waved his hand: "Go down."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu was overjoyed and quickly bowed and withdrew.
Emperor Yuanhe leaned back in his chair with a gloomy look in his eyes, his whole body exuding a frighteningly cold aura.
Currently, Yu Nanqing is the only prince in the court, and there is almost no one who can check him.
Even if powerful ministers in the court were to marry each other, it would not have any effect in restraining him. On the contrary, it would only strengthen the power of the court officials. Once it becomes biased, the effect would only be counterproductive.
The current crown prince is only five years old, so it is too early to establish a crown prince.
He never expected Yu Nanqing to be so resilient, failing to subdue him time and time again.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of Yu Tingyi.
Whenever such things happened, Yu Tingyi would go to the palace to discuss them with him, but now she was seriously injured by Yu Nanqing.
My chest suddenly felt incredibly tight, and my head started to ache.
He frowned deeply, his fist clenching tightly in his sleeve. At the moment, the most important thing was still Yu Tingyi's injury.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he called out, "Someone come here."
Liu Gonggong, who had just stepped down, immediately entered the hall again: "Your Majesty."
"Draft the imperial edict."
"yes."
The next day, Su Wanyan slept in late.
Because she hadn't washed her hair much while at the hunting grounds, and it still smelled of gunpowder and blood, she had Qiuye and Huangye wash it thoroughly for her last night.
Because her hair was so long, it was already late at night by the time it was completely dried.
Su Wanyan hadn't rested well in the past few days, so last night she fell asleep almost immediately and slept until the sun was high in the sky the next day.
Su Wanyan still slept in the side room next to the main room. She had always slept on a couch before, but later Yu Nanqing instructed Wang Zhang to put a large bed in the side room.
The side room was originally used for storing things and wasn't very big, so once the large bed was installed, it took up two-thirds of the side room.
Fortunately, Su Wanyan's belongings were all kept in the main room; otherwise, the side room would definitely not be enough.
Yu Nanqing had come in and checked on Su Wanyan several times. Seeing that Su Wanyan showed no signs of waking up, he went back and forth to the small kitchen several times, reheating the prepared food again and again.
It wasn't until nearly noon that Su Wanyan slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she knew she had gone to bed late.
With his vision still blurry, he sat up straight, muttering, "So much time wasted again."
In Su Wanyan's eyes, if she wakes up at seven o'clock in the morning, she will have a whole day to do what she likes.
If you don't wake up until noon, you only have half a day left to yourself.
She would inexplicably feel that she was wasting her time.
"Your Majesty is awake?" Qiu Ye came in with a smile, carrying a bowl of hot water.
Huang Ye followed behind her.
Su Wanyan glanced at her: "What's making you so happy?"
Qiu Ye smiled and said, "Being able to serve Your Highness makes me so happy every day."
Su Wanyan didn't believe the flattery and looked at Huang Ye: "What are you so happy about? What good thing happened?"
Although Huang Ye rarely spoke, Su Wanyan could still see the subtle changes in his expression.
Huang Ye glanced at Qiu Ye, her slightly upturned lips curving even more, before she pursed her lips shyly and said, "Just now, I was joking with Sister Qiu Ye. Before Her Majesty woke up, His Highness went to the kitchen to cook a meal for Her Majesty himself. He was afraid the food would get cold, so he reheated it several times. Sister Qiu Ye and I felt that His Highness was really good to Her Majesty."
"..." Su Wanyan was speechless.
Bored, he picked up a sandalwood jar and some fragrant tea to rinse his mouth.
Seeing this, Qiuye asked curiously, "Your Majesty, why do you seem unhappy?"
