He just ate a lot!
"No way—" Su Wanyan drawled, "You haven't slept for two days, have you? Go get some sleep now, and we'll talk about everything after you wake up."
"Sister, I can do it." After being praised by Su Wanyan, Su Chien was now full of energy.
Su Wanyan naturally disagreed, saying that even the donkeys in the production team didn't work like this non-stop: "Listen to me, there's still a lot of work to do. You'll be busy when you wake up."
Upon hearing this, Su Chien immediately stopped hesitating: "Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
Su Chien said he wasn't tired, but he actually fell asleep as soon as his head hit the bed.
Su Wanyan understood this. In the past, after studying all night, she would feel fine the next day even if she didn't sleep, but as soon as she touched the bed and closed her eyes, she would fall asleep instantly.
Su Wanyan returned to the main house, and before she even entered, she heard Yu Nanqing and Xiao Bu talking inside.
"Yes, it's flour. Her Majesty specifically asked us to find a few bags of flour to bring. A little bit of that flour will catch fire, and it's incredibly powerful. Even my subordinates were blown away! It's unbelievable! Her Majesty is truly clever!"
Xiao Bu's voice was filled with excitement: "Your Highness, we are all thanks to the Empress this time. Moreover, the Empress is skilled in medicine, and I believe she can definitely cure your illness!"
Yu Nanqing, her face pale, listened intently to every word Xiao Bu uttered.
After a long silence, he opened his mouth and asked, "Was she injured on the way?"
"No, you know Mingyu's abilities. He has protected Her Majesty from beginning to end. Even if it were someone else, we would risk our lives to protect Her Majesty."
"...small steps."
"Your Highness, I am here."
“Tell me the details again…”
"yes."
Su Wanyan touched her nose outside the door, and finally withdrew her foot that had already stepped over the threshold. Yu Nanqing hadn't been in contact with them for a long time, and this was a good opportunity for them to catch up, so she decided not to disturb them.
At Prince Gong's Mansion, the bestowal of favors was in full swing.
The atmosphere at the palace was rather subtle.
Inside the Imperial Study, the Eldest Princess entered the palace early in the morning, her face somber and unusually silent.
Emperor Yuanhe was also sitting on the dragon throne at this moment, silently reviewing the memorials.
Both of them seemed to have something to say, but they also seemed unsure where to begin.
They sent nearly a hundred secret agents, but they couldn't do anything to Yu Nanqing. Not only that, the Prince Gong's Mansion is now in the mood to do some kind of favor.
What's most disgusting is that he had no choice but to support Su Wanyan in doing so.
The appearance of an assassin in the capital has a very bad influence. The problems raised by Su Wanyan regarding the city's defenses and the dereliction of duty by various departments in the capital will make the people doubt his ability as emperor.
Although it wouldn't affect his imperial throne, these things would still be recorded and compiled into historical records.
Especially given the magnitude of the assassination of a prince.
Now, Shi Ren'enbu has greatly helped him suppress the public opinion surrounding Yu Nanqing's assassination to a minimum.
How could Emperor Yuanhe be happy with this, and where could the Princess begin to speak?
They were like defeated lions, and the atmosphere in the entire imperial study was dejected.
"I heard that you imprisoned the prince consort in a water dungeon. What happened?" In the end, it was Emperor Yuanhe who spoke first.
He didn't even look up, as if he was just asking the question casually.
There were people from Emperor Yuanhe's household in the Princess's residence. If anything happened to Emperor Yuanhe in the palace, someone would promptly report it to the Princess. This was an unspoken understanding between the two of them.
“He made the mistake first, so I had no choice but to teach him a lesson.” The princess said coldly, her tone revealing absolute dominance over her husband.
She didn't tell Emperor Yuanhe the truth, since the news had leaked from her.
Emperor Yuanhe frowned: "Don't go too far. What kind of talk will this make if word gets out?"
The eldest princess was indignant and did not respond to Emperor Yuanhe.
Emperor Yuanhe, hearing no response, raised his eyes with a stern face: "Listen to the Emperor!"
"I understand," the princess replied reluctantly.
When it came to the matter of the imperial son-in-law, Emperor Yuanhe sometimes really couldn't do anything about Yu Tingyi. He put down his brush in a sullen mood and said, "Su Wanyan let Yu Nanqing's people into the palace. In the future, it will be difficult for me to do what I want."
The idea was to ask the eldest princess to think of other solutions.
“Those who should be arrested have been arrested, and those who should die have died. What’s so scary about the rest? With Yu Nanqing in that state, even if they really guard the Prince’s mansion, what difference does it make? They’re still leaderless and just waiting to die.”
"Some time ago, someone reported that Prince Gong's Mansion was providing relief to the poor and now they are spreading kindness and benevolence. Do you really think they will behave themselves?" Emperor Yuanhe said calmly.
The eldest princess narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes and remained silent.
Emperor Yuanhe continued, "If something happens to Yu Nanqing, that's fine. But if he survives for another two or three years and gains power, even if he dies then, it will be difficult for me to eliminate him completely."
Emperor Yuanhe refers to Su Wanyan.
Emperor Yuanhe always wanted the entire Prince Gong's Mansion to disappear, preferably buried along with its battle achievements and merits.
But if we don't deal with it now, once Yu Nanqing gains power, even if he really dies, there will still be Princess Consort Su Wanyan to protect his honor.
Then people will always remember that the Great Jin Dynasty had a war god prince, and he will be prominently featured in historical records.
What Emperor Yuanhe found even more unacceptable was that if anything happened on the frontier, his people would likely think of Yu Nanqing first, rather than him, the emperor.
To put it bluntly, he wanted both power and fame.
Who becomes emperor without the aim of achieving lasting fame and lasting glory?
Emperor Yuanhe picked up his vermilion brush again and continued to write down his memorials: "This morning at court, I appointed Marquis Yuanning. The assassination of Prince Gong is a serious matter. I have ordered him to send someone to visit Prince Gong's residence when he has time."
Su Wanyan is, after all, the daughter of Marquis Yuanning, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to show concern for her daughter at this time.
The princess understood what she was saying and stood up: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I will return to my residence now to make arrangements."
Since Su Wanyan is already married, it would be inappropriate for Marquis Yuanning to visit her personally. Therefore, it should be Marquis Yuanning's wife or Su Muqing who goes.
She needs to meet with Lady Yuanning and Su Muqing separately first.
Meanwhile, Su Wanyan changed into ordinary clothes and, under the cover of Yu Nanqing's former subordinates, slipped out of the palace, avoiding the gaze of the common people.
Before leaving the mansion, Su Wanyan left a bottle of heart-protecting pills, repeatedly instructing Yu Nanqing to take the medicine if he experienced any problems.
That's a medicine to protect the heart, specially made for Yu Nanqing.
Su Wanyan originally intended to go shopping alone, but Wang Zhang, fearing something might happen, specifically sent Mingyu to accompany her.
