Su Wenyuan knew that when they were pushed to the limit, they would think of her.
From the moment they arrived in Anchuan, Su Wenyuan had been keeping an eye on them, feeling that they might know something.
However, Sheng Jingyu could only find out so much information, and within that limited information, there was nothing about them.
There was no information from Qikong Kingdom to prove that they knew about this.
Left with no other option, Su Wenyuan turned her attention to Princess Heyi.
Princess Heyi was sent to marry a foreign ruler because Anchuan Kingdom was defeated thirteen years ago. She also had a close relationship with the emperor of Qikong Kingdom, so it was not difficult for her to know some useful information.
Princess Heyi was taken aback when Su Wenyuan agreed so readily.
It wasn't until Su Wenyuan reminded her again that she nodded and said, "Okay, there's a teahouse in the capital that I used to frequent before I left. Let's go there."
The teahouse was not far from the post station, and the two did not take a carriage, but walked side by side on the street.
Su Wenyuan said, "That Prince Jin is ugly and stupid. He is really not worthy of the princess. It is a pity that the princess has endured for so many years. Now that Anchuan's military strength is strong, the princess no longer needs to suffer. Congratulations."
After speaking, Su Wenyuan turned her head to look at her, her eyes full of joy.
Her heartfelt words caught Princess Heyi completely off guard.
The two had a bad relationship, which was common knowledge. Su Wenyuan's attitude suddenly changed, and Princess Heyi was powerless to resist.
Once they arrived at the teahouse and were seated, Princess Heyi replied, "Thirteen years have passed. Things have changed, and there's nothing to be happy about."
Su Wenyuan said helplessly, "No one could do anything at the time. Yasukawa had suffered a series of defeats, and there had to be some attitude when seeking peace."
"What if we lose again if war breaks out now?" Princess Heyi pressed.
Su Wenyuan raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "Why do you think Anchuan is bound to lose? And why must the two countries fight?"
Su Wenyuan had never seen rivers of blood on the battlefield, but she knew that once war broke out, civilians would inevitably suffer.
She definitely didn't want war, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Princess Heyi sneered, "I don't know who will win or lose, but if I stay here, war will definitely break out. This matter started because of you. Go and tell my father that I am willing to return to Qikong Kingdom to protect the peace between the two countries."
"Oh my!" Su Wenyuan exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "The princess is truly admirable, but what benefit do I get?"
Princess Heyi angrily rebuked, "So many lives are at stake, and you dare to ask me for favors?"
When she heard Su Wenyuan say the word "admiration," she thought the matter would be simple.
But then he immediately starts asking her for favors. Is that reasonable?
Seeing Princess Heyi's righteous and stern words, Su Wenyuan couldn't help but laugh.
It was still clearly mockery.
"What do you mean by this? Is this something to be laughed at?" Princess Heyi rebuked sharply. "Do you know how many people will die in a war?"
Su Wenyuan nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Then why are you still trying to negotiate with me? This time, the Crown Prince underestimated you. I can apologize on his behalf, but I must return to Qikong Kingdom. The princess who was sent for a political marriage ran away. This is an insult to any country."
"The ministers are furious and war is inevitable. Then you will be the sinner! Thirteen years ago, Marquis Anle dragged down the Kingdom of Anchuan. Thirteen years later, you have made the same mistake again. Aren't you afraid that the world will condemn you?"
Princess Heyi became agitated and accused Su Wenyuan of various crimes.
Su Wenyuan watched her with a smile the whole time, and only after she finished speaking did she slowly ask in return, "This is the first time I've realized how capable I am. If the two countries really go to war, will you blame me?"
It's no one's fault but hers.
Princess Heyi said angrily, "If you don't help me, even if it's not entirely your fault, you're still partly to blame."
Su Wenyuan chuckled and said, "You not only overestimate me, but you also think too highly of yourself! Qikong Kingdom doesn't care about a princess like you who is sent for a political marriage. They won't go to war over this. They will negotiate with you first."
“Normally, war is a last resort and a last resort. If war breaks out ahead of schedule, it means that they intended to start a war in the first place, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.”
After Su Wenyuan explained the situation clearly, Princess Heyi was somewhat disappointed.
She thought Su Wenyuan wouldn't understand these things, and that scaring her would be enough.
Another misjudgment.
Seeing that she had become honest, Su Wenyuan continued, "You've told me so much, but all you want is to go back to Qikong Kingdom. You should say less about peace in the future; not many people will believe you."
Su Wenyuan saw through her hypocrisy.
Princess Heyi sighed and asked bluntly, "Do you have a way to get me back?"
She now uses the word "go back" to describe Qikong Kingdom.
Su Wenyuan nodded and said, "Yes, but I need to know if the benefits you offer are worth it for me to do so."
Princess Heyi questioned, "You say you can do what my mother and the Crown Prince couldn't?"
Actually, she only approached Su Wenyuan with a try-it-and-see attitude.
She had never even heard of this person in Anchuan before, but now he holds such an important position; he must be quite clever.
Moreover, she had witnessed Su Wenyuan's eloquence firsthand, which was why she felt that Su Wenyuan might be able to help her.
But when she actually heard Su Wenyuan agree, she began to disbelieve it.
“Consort Wan and the Crown Prince are your family. They know that you are staying for your own good, so naturally they can’t help you leave. But I’m different. I hate you, and I will find a way to make you leave.”
She didn't say the specific method, but that one sentence makes sense.
Princess Heyi became suspicious: "You seem to have come prepared. You didn't come here to humiliate Prince Jin."
After talking for so long, it's time to come to your senses.
Su Wenyuan remained silent, but Princess Heyi's eyes flashed, and she added, "You made me stay on purpose, just to make me anxious!"
Some parts are correct, while others are not so accurate.
It was indeed intentional to leave Princess Heyi behind, but no one expected her to be in such a hurry; this was an unexpected discovery.
“You couldn’t do this yourself, it’s Prince Chen who’s helping you. He’s really good to you.” Princess Heyi said through gritted teeth.
Su Wenyuan said, "If you stay, there will be people who treat you well."
“Too late!” Princess Heyi’s eyes flashed. “You have been investigating the matter of Marquis Anle. Marquis Anle had secret correspondence with Qikong Kingdom, which is why he was identified as a traitor. I came from Qikong Kingdom, and I know some things about this matter.”
"You went through all this trouble just for this, didn't you?" Princess Heyi said, leisurely toying with her teacup, trying to appear less impatient.
She's always being led by Su Wenyuan; if this continues, she'll suffer.
Su Wenyuan finally heard what she wanted to hear, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Yes."
