After walking a short distance, Su Wenyuan asked Ye Shan to go back and help Sheng Jingyu.
“Meng Qi is slow to react, and I’m afraid he’ll cause delays. I’ll stay ahead, not too far, and just have two people follow me.” Su Wenyuan casually pointed in a direction.
Ye Shan was genuinely worried about Meng Qi, and looking back and forth, she said, "I'll go ask the Prince. Princess, please don't go too far."
Su Wenyuan nodded in agreement.
After Ye Shan finished speaking with Sheng Jingyu, Sheng Jingyu felt that Su Wenyuan was just worried that he wouldn't be able to explain clearly, so he agreed to let Ye Shan and Meng Qi switch places.
At this moment, the group of people from Qikong Kingdom were gathered together, beaming with pride.
“If we don’t leave, Father and the ministers won’t question Prince Chen. If we stay away, it will give them the opportunity to question us.” Princess Heyi leisurely sipped her tea.
Empress Yuan continued, "Although we did it deliberately, we achieved our goal."
First, they provoke us; after that, they have a follow-up plan.
The moment Princess Heyi put down her teacup, she suddenly thought of Jin Kouhe. She looked around but couldn't see him.
"He really caused trouble today, but thankfully he toned it down later."
Empress Yuan pointed in a direction and said, "It seems the Crown Prince went that way just now. Princess, don't worry, once this matter is resolved, we can return to Qikong Kingdom."
As soon as Princess Heyi looked away, Su Wenyuan quietly walked over.
Jin Kouhe is discussing countermeasures with his subordinates, figuring out how to create an opportunity.
“The hunt will take a long time, and Princess Consort Chen can’t stay here forever. If we move a little further away, our people will have a chance, but we can’t do that here; they can’t get close,” the servant explained.
Jin Kouhe looked him up and down and asked, "Then you can't do it?"
"I..." the servant suddenly panicked, "I can't shoot arrows, has Your Highness forgotten?"
After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief. It wasn't that he didn't know how, but that he wasn't proficient.
“I can use a knife, but there are so many guards around Princess Chen, I can’t get close enough to kill her with one blow, then there won’t be another chance.” The servant added another reason.
Even if he knew the answer, he wouldn't dare say it, as he was surrounded by soldiers.
Even if he succeeds, he can't possibly leave alive.
Jin Kouhe truly doesn't treat him like a human being; all he cares about is killing Su Wenyuan.
He said he couldn't shoot arrows and seemed quite disgusted by it.
"Then you're not even as good as me."
The servant quickly flattered, "Yes, the young master has been studying since childhood, so naturally I can't compare to him, and even those people outside can't compare to him."
Jin Kouhe can shoot arrows, but he's not very good at it. He can't shoot arrows if the target is moving, if the target is too small, or if the distance is too far. He's even less good at shooting arrows on horseback.
Only when all conditions are met can a shot barely hit the target.
I learned this from elementary school.
Jin Kouhe said with dissatisfaction, "Then let's continue to wait for the right opportunity. I've lived for so many years and I've never suffered such an injustice. I'll be unwilling to let it go without getting revenge."
Before arriving, I had imagined delicious food, fine wine, and beautiful women, but after arriving, I spent my time recuperating in bed, though I did see quite a few imperial physicians.
While recovering from his injuries, Jin Kouhe had been thinking about revenge. After thinking about it for so many days, he was determined not to fail.
Su Wenyuan heard some bits and pieces from behind, but the main point was that Jin Kouhe could shoot arrows.
That makes things easier.
Su Wenyuan took two quick steps and appeared in front of Jinkouhe.
"Young Master Jin is here too. Are all your injuries healed?" Su Wenyuan asked with a smile.
Jin Kouhe said through gritted teeth, "I don't need your fake kindness. Mind your own business."
Su Wenyuan said, "I came here for myself. There are some things I want to say to the young master. Why don't you listen?"
Jin Kouhe didn't reply, but he didn't leave either.
Su Wenyuan gestured for Yuexiu and Mengqi to stay there, then took a few steps forward and whispered, "I was just strolling around when I spotted some people with ill intentions, and by sheer coincidence, I caught three of them."
"They came to kill me, and it's related to the Crown Prince. I haven't made a sound. They're interrogating me, but I don't know what they'll find out."
Jin Kouhe's heart sank. He'd actually been arrested?
The three were alright, not completely wiped out, but Su Wenyuan didn't make a fuss, and then came to tell him what it meant?
Seeing that he was still confused, Su Wenyuan became anxious.
When talking to a smart person, you can be indirect, but when you encounter someone like him, it's better to be direct.
“I know why you dared to lay a hand on me. A powerless princess, I can be replaced if I die, no one cares. Even if you did it yourself, no one would dare to do anything to you.”
"So I didn't make a fuss. Making a scene wouldn't help. It's better to interrogate him for a while. You said I have his hands, so I can interrogate him however I want?"
Jin Kouhe finally understood and asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
Su Wenyuan feigned smugness, "No one cares if you say you want to assassinate the princess, but if you say you want to assassinate the emperor, that's interesting. Prince Jin wants to assassinate the emperor? Your Qikong Kingdom's visit this time is not well-intentioned."
If Su Wenyuan really wanted to do this, why would she have told Jin Kouhe?
But Jin Kouhe wasn't smart enough to think that far ahead.
After hearing this, he was extremely panicked, feeling that what was originally a minor matter was about to become uncontrollable.
Looking at Su Wenyuan's expression, she was so smug and arrogant.
Jin Kouhe was both shocked and angry. He was shocked because he was afraid of getting into big trouble, and angry because Su Wenyuan was standing in front of him unharmed.
He's going to get tricked by Su Wenyuan again.
Su Wenyuan already knows there are assassins outside, so she definitely won't go to them willingly. They won't have a chance to make a move.
Moreover, the three people who were arrested will soon turn around and bite back.
The more flustered he became, the more smug Su Wenyuan became.
Even the servant behind them couldn't help but ask, "Should we... tell the princess?"
