“I never thought about controlling him. On the contrary, I wanted him to be as chaotic as possible, only in this way… only in this way would they have no time to pay attention to him.”
Even if they don't realize it now, they will speculate later that he was behind such a major event as a fire in the palace.
If they stabilize their situation and then continue to target him secretly, he will truly be in danger once again.
The current political turmoil suits his purposes perfectly; as for provisions…
With the Chang and Shun families looking out for them in the capital, the court wouldn't create any unnecessary trouble at this time if it didn't want the country to truly perish.
Yu Nanqing smiled and said, "Yan'er, don't worry anymore. In terms of medical skills, no one can match you. In a battle, I will not lose to anyone."
Su Wanyan glared at him resentfully, but finally couldn't help clenching her fist and punching his thigh several times: "Speak! Say half of it! Don't say half of it!"
"..." Seeing that Su Wanyan was angry, Yu Nanqing wanted to stop her but dared not.
Could you... please not just hit one spot...?
"Your Highness." Just then, Su Chi'en rode forward and handed over a message: "A letter from Wengcheng."
Su Wanyan immediately stopped playing around. She saw Yu Nanqing take the message, glance at it, and then crumple it into his palm.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious."
Su Wanyan clenched her little fist and punched him again: "You, if you don't, say, that, you, will, never, say, again!"
“…” Yu Nanqing hurriedly said, “It seems that Donghai knows I am not in Wengcheng.”
It's understandable, given that he hasn't shown his face for a long time, it's inevitable that people would be suspicious.
However, he had done everything he was supposed to do, and Donghai's belated realization had no impact on him whatsoever.
"Sister, Your Highness, there is a tea stall about twenty miles ahead. Would you like to rest for a while?"
Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan left in a hurry. Su Wanyan handed over the prescription for curing the plague to the Duke of Shunguo and left the capital directly. Several days have passed since then.
Su Wanyan was afraid of delaying Yu Nanqing's schedule, so she didn't dare to complain about being tired.
Besides Yu Nanqing, Su Chien also always accommodated her. Seeing Su Chien say this now, Su Wanyan immediately pulled down the curtains: "No, I want to sleep, don't bother me."
They set off in disguise, needing to avoid being recognized.
If we linger in places where it's not necessary, we might cause other complications.
The curtains had just been drawn when they were suddenly pulled open again: "Don't make do with me, I can handle it!"
"..." Yu Nanqing smiled as he watched her startled expression, and couldn't help but smile as he instructed, "Just keep going."
Seeing this, Su Chien didn't hesitate: "Yes."
It would be a lie to say that Yu Nanqing wasn't anxious. The news of Emperor Yuanhe's death would reach all countries in as little as half a month. He urgently needed to win a decisive victory to deter the restless enemy countries around the Great Jin Dynasty.
But no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't force it.
In March, spring is in full bloom.
On March 15th, Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan arrived at Wengcheng. At the entrance of Wengcheng, there was a person that neither Yu Nanqing nor Su Wanyan expected.
Xiao Chensheng held a long pipe, his slender figure stretched long by the setting sun.
He crossed his arms slightly, his smile stretching almost to the back of his ears, his narrowed eyes radiating a gloomy aura. Despite the dazzling sunset, the surrounding atmosphere was chilly.
Su Wanyan peeked out of the carriage and saw Xiao Chensheng's ferocious grin.
Why is he still in Wengcheng?
She thought Xiao Chensheng had already left!
Su Wanyan only caught a glimpse of it for a moment before immediately closing the curtain. Amitabha, out of sight, out of mind.
But the next second, the carriage curtain was suddenly flung open: "Little girl?"
Xiao Chensheng's enlarged smiling face was almost touching his, and he leaned down into the carriage, looking down at him: "Shouldn't you explain yourself to me?"
Before he could finish speaking, a large hand suddenly grabbed his neck from behind, and with a "crack" sound, as if it was about to twist his head off, Yu Nanqing's deep and cold voice slowly rang out: "I don't mind having one more corpse."
The imposing aura filled the entire carriage, as if it were about to engulf Xiao Chensheng.
"Oh?" Xiao Chensheng immediately noticed Yu Nanqing's implied meaning. With Yu Nanqing tightly gripping his neck, he struggled to look back: "Another one? Who else did you kill?"
"!" Su Wanyan was slightly startled; her vigilance was truly remarkable.
Fearing that Xiao Chensheng might speak recklessly, she quickly took out a medicine bottle: "Xiao Chensheng, take a look at this."
"Hmm?" Xiao Chensheng twisted his neck back with difficulty: "Medicine?"
He stretched out his long, slender fingers, held the medicine bottle in his hand, slowly opened it, brought it to his nose and took a light sniff, then curled his thin lips: "Oh, to be able to do this much, not bad."
Su Wanyan was originally imitating his medicinal effects, so how could Xiao Chensheng not recognize it?
Xiao Chensheng's smile wasn't really a compliment to Su Wanyan, but rather a sign of his confidence that no one could possibly make his medicine without his instruction.
However, being able to analyze 70-80% of the ingredients in a medicine after only one treatment...
As Xiao Chensheng thought about it, the smile on his face widened.
"Since you've been staying in Wengcheng for so long, you must have a lot of free time. Why don't you give me your recipe?"
Xiao Chensheng didn't reply to Su Wanyan's words. Suddenly, a vein bulged on his smiling face: "How about we make him let go first?"
Yu Nanqing tightened her grip on his neck, as if she really wanted to twist his head off.
Su Wanyan covered her mouth with her sleeve, not giving him any leeway: "You're rude."
"..."
“I’m just a woman sitting in the carriage, and you barge in without any manners. You deserve it.”
"..." Xiao Chensheng was speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, a surge of internal energy erupted from his body. In an instant, the carriage curtain was whipped open as if by a gust of wind, and a fierce killing intent rushed straight at Yu Nanqing's face.
Yu Nanqing's brow twitched slightly, and she had no choice but to release his neck and turn to avoid him.
Taking advantage of the gap, Xiao Chensheng lightly touched his toes, creating a distance of three zhang between himself and the carriage. As he landed, his killing intent instantly subsided: "In that case, it was my fault. I will be more careful next time."
He gently tossed the medicine bottle in his hand into the air, then caught it steadily as it fell, seemingly in a good mood: "Come see me tomorrow."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and used his lightness skill to leave the city gate.
Su Wanyan was curious, where was he going this time?
Where will she look for him tomorrow?
Never mind, if we're in Wengcheng, we can always find out where he lives.
Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan kept their itinerary quiet, and the group entered the city quietly, just like ordinary people.
Previously, Su Wanyan secretly came to Wengcheng and stayed in a private house to avoid attracting attention. She even disguised herself when entering the city.
Now that she's with Yu Nanqing, she no longer acts like she used to be sneaky.
Exhausted from the journey, Su Wanyan was somewhat tired. She didn't know how long the carriage had been traveling. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, the carriage suddenly came to a slow stop.
