Chapter 393 Capturing Jiang Wanning Alive
Chen Jie squinted at Song Zhuran, scrutinizing her. "You don't know?"
Song Zhuran naturally knew why Chen Jie had stopped her, but she was still angry. "At worst, we can try another way."
"Why must you marry her? Master, do you know that she is Jiang Wanru, the Jiang Wanru who married Pei Anqing back then?"
"Who she is is not important. What is important is that her enemies are Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning," Chen Jie said coldly.
"You should return to the palace immediately and not act rashly," Chen Jie said sternly.
Song Zhuran was unwilling, but she also did not want to anger Chen Jie.
"From now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace without my order," Chen Jie said.
Song Zhuran glared fiercely at Yan Chenyu before turning and leaving.
After Song Zhuran left, Chen Jiecai looked at Yan Chenyu and said, "I advise you to keep a low profile and just do your job."
“If things continue like today, I won’t hesitate to kill you and replace your king with someone else.”
Yan Chenyu said, "Today was merely a test of Lord Chen's strength, as ordered by our king. However, Lord Chen, it seems our king was right."
"Your grand plan will be ruined by someone like this sooner or later."
“Our king said that if you want to continue cooperating, you should kill her. Keeping her alive will only ruin things.”
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes. "My affairs are not for your king to dictate."
“We are just business partners, it’s not like I’ve sided with him. Go tell him to keep his own judgment and not be so arrogant.”
Yan Chenyu smiled and said, "Our king said he knew you would say that, Lord Chen. Although it is a cooperation, it depends on who you are cooperating with."
"Knowing that someone can help our king obtain that thing, he will cooperate with anyone, no matter who that person is, even if they are your enemy, Lord Chen."
Chen Jie clenched his fist slightly. "I understand."
"Do you think I don't want to abandon her?" Chen Jie said. "She fed me the medicine. We are now bound together by life and death. Only she has the antidote."
"Furthermore, her current position is crucial to the outcome of the entire game, so we cannot act rashly."
“Then let’s send someone else up,” Yan Chenyu said. “The Lady Zhao in the palace, now she should be called Noble Lady Zhao, is one of our king’s people.”
"Replace Song Zhuran and let her stand in Song Zhuran's position."
"Fortunately, the Song family will cease to exist from now on. Your emperor can only rely on you and the Prince of Langya."
"You've made a move against the Song family?" Chen Jie asked coldly.
"Should we take action?" Yan Chenyu said. "Your crazy disciple is probably heading towards the Song family right now, not the palace."
"Lord Chen, you don't understand women, but I do."
"A person as insane as her must kill to vent her anger, and the closer the person she kills, the happier she will be."
Chen Jie did not speak again.
Yan Chenyu knew that he also wanted to get rid of Song Zhuran.
"As for your poisoning, that's easy to handle," Yan Chenyu continued. "You just need to stage a scene where you're in deep danger, and she'll naturally take the blow for you."
"You want me to die with him?"
If Song Zhuran were to die, she would definitely not live on her own; if she were to die, she would definitely not let herself live on her own.
Yan Chenyu said, "I forgot, she's crazy and can't think like a normal woman."
"That would be a difficult problem."
"How about...you imprison her...?"
“I have my own ideas about this matter. You just focus on doing your own thing,” Chen Jie said.
"I didn't expect that your king had planted spies in our Dongling palace so early on. No wonder he is so aware of the actions of everyone in Dongling."
Yan Chenyu didn't take it seriously, "Our king doesn't want to be enemies with your Dongling, he just wants to retrieve something."
"What is that?"
Chen Jie couldn't understand what could possibly make a ruler go to such lengths. Could it be something that could command the entire world?
But he had never heard of such a thing.
"I can't tell you that," Yan Chenyu said. "Lord Chen, we are just business partners. You'd better not ask what you should ask."
“Our king is not as easily fooled as Xiao Yu.”
Chen Jie had no interest in knowing what he wanted. He figured he could deal with the other man when he was in power.
Chen Jie turned and left.
Yan Chenyu called out, "No, I'm all alone, aren't you going to take me home?"
“This is not my responsibility,” Chen Jie said coldly. “You and I are just business partners.”
Swallow sinks into fish...
"Why on earth did Song Zhuran fall for someone like that?" Yan Chenyu was so angry she laughed.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Yan Chenyu's cloak was torn, allowing cold wind to get in.
There was no driver either.
He had no money on him, so he either had to walk back or spend the night in the carriage.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Chenyu headed towards the Prince's Mansion. At least walking would keep her warm; if she stayed in the carriage, she might freeze to death before she could even get revenge.
"Damn it!" Yan Chenyu stomped her foot in anger.
When the group arrived at the Langya Prince's Mansion, it was already late at night, and the gates were locked.
As if on purpose, there wasn't even a guard at the entrance.
Yan Chenyu kept banging on the door and shouting, but no one came out.
Finally, someone struck her on the neck, and she immediately passed out.
When she woke up again, she was in the private room of the restaurant where she had arrived. She had been woken up by being splashed with ice water.
"What are you doing?" Yan Chenyu roared. "You didn't come out when I was walking back, and now you're splashing me to wake me up?"
Yan Chenyu looked at the people from Nanli Kingdom who had come with her.
They were called servants, but in reality, they were people who monitored him.
But Yan Chenyu couldn't bear it any longer; she was almost freezing to death outside.
The man stepped back a few paces to the side, and Yan Chenyu then noticed that there was another person behind him. Even though the person had their back to her, she recognized them at a glance.
"Your Majesty." Yan Chenyu quickly got up and knelt down. "This servant greets Your Majesty."
King Yan Changfeng of Nanli Kingdom slowly turned around. "Do you still remember your identity?"
“This servant remembers, this servant has always remembered, it was the King who saved this servant,” Yan Chenyu said.
"I thought that just because I gave you the title of princess, you wouldn't know what the purpose of your trip was."
“This servant has always kept in mind the mission to cooperate with Chen Jie to kill Pei Yanchuan and capture Jiang Wanning alive.”
"We will no longer meddle in anything related to the Eastern Ling Kingdom."
"Very good." Yan Changfeng said calmly, "Since you remember, and you've caused me such a big problem as soon as you arrived, it seems you did it on purpose."
