"..." It really is true... they don't want to leave him even a little bit of warmth.
Yu Nanqing's eyes were red, feeling that this appearance was extremely shameful.
As soon as he let go of Su Wanyan, he covered his mouth with the back of his hand, his face flushed, and turned away.
Su Wanyan also avoided looking at him, knowing that men tend to care about their pride in situations like this.
If I heard correctly, Yu Nanqing did cry just now, although she stopped immediately.
She pulled out the silver needles from his body one by one. Yu Nanqing was anxious. He had finally felt a slight sting. Shouldn't he press his advantage?
Just as he was about to say something, Su Wanyan spoke first: "You were a bit emotional today, so rest well first, and I will give you acupuncture again tomorrow."
Yu Nanqing opened her mouth, but then pursed her lips and lowered her head, saying nothing.
After putting away the silver needles, Su Wanyan looked at him and asked, "Should I help you lie down or call Tanaka in?"
This time, for the first time ever, Yu Nanqing turned her eyes away and said, "...Call Tanaka in."
They probably still felt ashamed.
Su Wanyan didn't hesitate: "Then I'm leaving. You get some rest."
"..."
After Su Wanyan left, Yu Nanqing swallowed his somewhat rapid breathing and reached out to pinch his leg.
I didn't feel anything at all.
As if in disbelief, he increased the force.
I still don't feel anything.
It was as if the slight stinging sensation from before had never existed.
He hurriedly stopped when Tanaka came in.
He didn't know whether he should have any expectations, given the current turmoil in his mind.
Perhaps... we can look forward to it a little?
After leaving the main house, Su Wanyan asked Qiuye to prepare some tea and snacks in the pavilion in the front yard, and then began to review Yu Nanqing's treatment records.
This was a habit he developed after the assassination attempt; he even wrote down every single medicinal meal Yu Nanqing had ever eaten.
Just now, Yu Nanqing's words had angered her so much that she suddenly used more force, and she felt that it was no coincidence.
Previously, because Yu Nanqing was weak, her acupuncture treatment plan for Yu Nanqing was always gentle.
Now, after nearly three months of treatment, Yu Nanqing's health should have recovered by now. Even if he is still weak, he is not unable to withstand anything.
So she decided to try a more forceful acupuncture technique.
She suddenly found it really convenient to keep medical records, as she could clearly see the previous acupuncture procedures and her physical condition.
The next day, the eldest princess entered the palace early in the morning.
After Emperor Yuanhe finished his morning court session, he entered the Imperial Study and saw the Eldest Princess sitting to the side, waiting for him.
Princess Yu Tingyi rose and curtsied, saying, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuanhe asked immediately, "I heard that Su Wanyan sent you a male concubine?"
He had wanted to ask her about this for a long time. He frowned, walked around the desk, sat on the dragon throne, and said, "It's fine if you like to take male concubines, I've always indulged you. How come you even dare to take the people sent by Su Wanyan?"
Has she forgotten about the library?
Emperor Yuanhe thought to himself, but did not say it aloud.
The eldest princess has always loved these writing implements and calligraphy treasures; mentioning it would only upset her.
After being reprimanded by Emperor Yuanhe, the eldest princess couldn't think of any rebuttal. The usually proud princess lowered her head slightly, and although she was somewhat dissatisfied, she obediently listened to the reprimand.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Yuanhe could not say anything harsher and asked, "What brings you to the palace so early in the morning?"
As he spoke, he opened a memorial to the emperor.
The eldest princess then raised her eyes: "Your Majesty, I hope you will execute Lü Cezhong immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanhe immediately frowned and looked up at the Eldest Princess: "Execute Lü Cezhong?"
"yes!"
Yesterday, Su He went to see Su Wanyan and came back to tell her that Su Wanyan already knew that the news she had spread was false. The princess was unwilling to accept this and felt that Su Wanyan had looked down on her.
Especially after thinking about how the library was burned down, and how Su He came back yesterday, she felt that Su Wanyan was mocking Su He.
Because Su He was sent by Su Wanyan.
Emperor Yuanhe had no interest in reading the memorials anymore: "Has the news already been leaked to Prince Gong's residence?"
"Yes, but they didn't believe it; they recognized it as fake news."
Indeed, it was Emperor Yuanhe's idea to leak the news of Lü Cezhong's execution.
The purpose was to throw Yu Nanqing's formation into chaos and expose his true colors.
He didn't know how important Lü Cezhong was to Yu Nanqing. He only knew that in order to protect Yu Nanqing, Lü Cezhong had been tortured in the prison for three years, and he hadn't uttered a single word.
Furthermore, Lü Cezhong was quite strong, making it impossible to force him to sign the document.
The eldest princess said indignantly, "Brother, since they believe that the information we sent is false, why not make it real and execute Lü Cezhong? Judging from Yu Nanqing's half-dead state, he will surely suffer a stroke and go mad."
"I do wish!" How could Emperor Yuanhe not wish?
After saying this, he glanced at Liu Rencai beside him.
Liu Rencai immediately understood, and hurriedly left the imperial study, closing the door tightly behind him.
Once only he and the Princess were left in the Imperial Study, he asked, "But on what charge should we execute Lü Cezhong?"
Unlike the captured 'rebels,' Lü Cezhong was the one who rescued Yu Nanqing, and Yu Nanqing was his witness.
Even if he finds someone to sign and confess on his behalf, as long as Yu Nanqing appears and testifies, everything will fall apart on its own.
"Can't we fabricate evidence?" the eldest princess exclaimed, "Didn't Yu Nanqing do a lot of things when he was defeated by the Eastern Kingdom's Emperor?"
"Yu Tingyi!" Emperor Yuanhe's face darkened, and he gave the eldest princess a warning look.
The princess choked and immediately stopped talking.
Emperor Yuanhe took a deep breath and said, "Three years have passed; it's too late to do it now."
Yu Nanqing holds military power and is a prince. The border is far from the capital, so he is not afraid that Yu Nanqing will come back to seize the throne, since he also has capable generals and ministers under his command. However, he is afraid that Yu Nanqing will declare himself emperor and divide his Great Jin's territory!
When Yu Nanqing returned to the capital, he thought he wouldn't be able to hold on. He thought that once Yu Nanqing died, he would have a reason to execute Lü Cezhong.
Unexpectedly, Yu Nanqing survived the brush with death.
He thought that the captured 'rebels' would eventually confess something, but they didn't confess anything.
It's just that he was too confident back then, thinking that everything was already set in stone, and didn't leave himself any backup plan, which led to this increasingly difficult situation.
Now those people are either dead or scattered. So much time has passed since that battle, all possible clues have disappeared with time.
Making fake certificates now?
Where to begin?
The eldest princess was furious and gritted her teeth: "Then let Lü Cezhong go to Prince Gong's mansion and tell him that he can bring some things to visit Yu Nanqing. I will send someone to poison the things he brings, and then execute him on the grounds of poisoning a member of the royal family. I don't believe there is no way to deal with him!"
