But only they knew it in their hearts, and they could not let others know, or even let others see that there was something wrong with their actions, including Liu Xiu, as the matter was of great importance.

Han Yu did not inform Liu Xiu of the news he got from Sikong Ling. Firstly, this was Sikong Ling's request, and secondly, Han Yu did not want to arouse Liu Xiu's suspicion. After all, Liu Xiu did not trust Han Yu so much at this time. The power Han Yu held was even stronger than Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu had suspected Han Yu of having bad intentions before, and wanted to use the way of surrendering to him to let him relax his vigilance and take the opportunity to annex his power. Later, he analyzed that there was really no need for Han Yu to do so, and Han Yu's approach was completely unlike Liu Xiu's. However, he still did not dare to completely trust Han Yu. After all, this was a person who could subvert his power at any time.

Han Yu now maintains a delicate balance and mutual trust with Liu Xiu. If he gets in touch with Sikong Ling again, this state will be immediately broken. In this situation where the imperial court is about to send troops to the border, one can imagine what the consequences will be.

Although his wife and children did not intend to leave, Han Yu still spent the whole day playing with them, enjoying the rare time together as a family of five. Although they had fun, they were really tired. Han Yu even felt that taking care of children was harder than leading soldiers in battle. Although the three children in their family were considered obedient, he felt deeply the hard work of his wife.

"Wife, I have something else to discuss with you." After putting the children to rest in the evening, Han Yu thought about it and finally spoke. In the past, he was afraid that his wife would worry, but if he kept it a secret like this, once she heard the rumors outside, she would only have more wild thoughts. Moreover, his wife's attitude had been expressed very clearly. It was not worth it to cause discord between the couple because of this. With the previous experience, Han Yu decided to tell the truth.

"Tell me what's the matter." Su Wenyue saw that Han Yu's attitude was quite serious and knew that the matter must be complicated.

"Wife, you know that although I have served Brother Liu, he does not completely trust me. I hold more power than Brother Liu, which is probably why Brother Liu does not dare to completely trust me. This situation is not a good thing. If we continue to be suspicious, sooner or later someone will take advantage of us. Although the imperial court sending troops to attack us this time is a crisis, it will be a good thing for us if we use it well. So I want to take advantage of this opportunity to design a good show. If you hear any rumors that are unfavorable to me, don't believe them easily and don't worry."

Han Yu's words were still rather subtle. In fact, it was not so easy to gain Liu Xiu's trust.

Su Wenyue obviously understood this truth, but did not stop it. This thing must be done, and there should be no room for luck. If it is not done well, they will face a catastrophe in the future. Not only Han Yu, but their entire family will be in danger. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Now Liu Xiu is just a newborn calf, but sooner or later he will become a tiger in the future.

"I know I can't stop you from making your decision, nor should I stop you. I won't say anything else. I just want you to take care of yourself. No matter what happens, as long as you are still alive, you can make a comeback. If you are gone, everything will be meaningless. Besides, the child is so young. Can you bear to abandon us mother and child?" Su Wenyue knew that Han Yu was a man who valued promises, so she wanted to ask Han Yu for a promise so that she could feel at ease.

"Wife, don't worry. I understand all these principles. I will take good care of myself and will never abandon you and your children. But you have to promise me that no matter how realistic the rumors outside are, you must not believe them. Take good care of yourself and your children and wait for me to come back. Just remember that I, Han Yu, will never break my promise!" Han Yu also asked Su Wenyue for a promise.

"Okay, a gentleman's promise is a promise. I'll wait for you!" Su Wenyue answered solemnly, but her heart was heavy. Han Yu asked her to agree, and he must have anticipated what would happen in the future. However, she had no other choice but to agree. Since Han Yu was determined to do this, she could only do her best to let Han Yu have no worries.

Han Yu was satisfied with Su Wenyue's promise. Seeing that his wife was still serious and solemn, Han Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, don't be so nervous. Nothing has happened yet, and you are acting like you are facing a great enemy."

Han Yu wanted to lighten the heavy atmosphere and deliberately talked about lighter topics. Su Wenyue also knew that it was useless to think too much, so she followed Han Yu's meaning and started talking about other things.

"By the way, my husband, today someone from the Yin family sent an invitation to everyone to a banquet. I think the Yin family is inviting everyone for no reason because they want to announce the engagement of Miss Yin." Su Wenyue thought of the invitation she received today, and combined it with some information she knew, she guessed the Yin family's intention.

Han Yu nodded, agreeing with his wife's opinion. He knew more than Su Wenyue: "Brother Liu has already made an agreement with the Yin family. They have exchanged engagement letters and have been engaged. It is indeed time to announce the news. It is also intended to show everyone that the Yin family and the Liu family are forming an alliance."

Although the Yin family was also in Liu Xiu's camp before, their position was not so firm, but it was created by the times. Now that the two families have formed a good relationship, their interests are linked and their relationship is closer. This happened in the previous life, so Su Wenyue was not surprised, and Han Yu had expected it a long time ago. After all, Liu Xiu now has limited military forces and needs to rely on this method to consolidate his power. Moreover, this action may not be without the intention of guarding against Han Yu.

However, Han Yu had no intention of rebelling against Liu Xiu. He was truly loyal to Liu Xiu. This move of Liu Xiu had no effect on him. He just had to speed up his arrangements and make Liu Xiu trust him completely.

It is said that Han Yu was wary of Yin Shi. Yin Shi was different from Liu Xiu. Even though Liu Xiu did not completely trust him, he was an open-minded and loyal person with a broad mind and tolerance. As long as there was no definite evidence to prove that he had any ill intentions, Liu Xiu would tolerate him. This was why although they were wary of each other and did not trust each other, they could get along harmoniously until now.

Yin Shi is a man of many schemes. Although he appears to be very kind to him and shows a very friendly attitude, he will act without hesitation once the interests of the Yin family are infringed or when he needs to pave the way for the Yin family. Not only did Su Wenyue remind him of this, but Han Yu could also see clues from Yin Shi's daily actions.

For example, Miss Yin, Yin Shi loved his sister very much, but when it came to the time to sacrifice for the benefit of the Yin family, the relationship between Liu Xiu and Chen Li was exposed, Yin Shi did not hesitate to marry his sister to Liu Xiu. Although Miss Yin was willing, Yin Shi, as the eldest brother, did not consider the future happiness of his sister.
