"Father can find two prudent ministers to accompany him and constantly remind and warn him. He is a prince. As long as he does not attempt to assassinate the emperor in Qikong Kingdom, Qikong Kingdom cannot harm his life."
...
Sheng Jingyu had long had the idea of sending Sheng Ziyan to Qikong Kingdom, but the timing was not right, and there were not enough reasons to persuade the emperor.
Later, Su Wenyuan thought that she could use that pile of scrap metal to gather information.
No matter who the envoy is, as long as they bring the goods, their safety is guaranteed, unless Qikong Kingdom doesn't want them.
Thirteen years ago, we went to great lengths to get it; how could we not want it? Call it a delaying tactic if you will, it'll help us get through this difficult time.
They used the information about the map of King Qi's tomb to buy time to deal with the Qi Kong Kingdom.
They could stall for as long as possible. Su Wenyuan was also afraid that Qikong Kingdom would suddenly start a war, and she always felt that Anchuan Kingdom was no good at anything.
After the court session ended today, the Emperor proposed to recall Sheng Ziyan. Sheng Jingyu knew the time was right and he had a reason to persuade the Emperor.
He then told Su Wenyuan that he wanted Sheng Ziyan to go to Qikong Kingdom.
After hearing his reasoning, Su Wenyuan felt it couldn't be more appropriate.
This would allow the army accompanying and protecting him to deliver the letter written by the Empress to him.
Everything was arranged perfectly; all that was missing was persuading the emperor.
In Su Wenyuan's view, this was not a difficult matter, and the emperor had no reason to refuse.
Don't say he values family ties; he doesn't care that much about Sheng Ziyan's life.
So at most an hour, Sheng Jingyu will be back.
But Su Wenyuan waited and waited, but Sheng Jingyu never came. It wasn't until dark that Sheng Jingyu returned home looking exhausted.
"Did you agree?" Su Wenyuan asked, yawning.
Sheng Jingyu nodded, not wanting to speak. He had been talking all afternoon, and his lips were practically worn out.
Various reasons were presented, all of which would be beneficial to the emperor without any harm, but the emperor still hesitated and did not express any concerns.
He already said that Sheng Ziyan can cause trouble however he wants, but he won't die.
The Emperor then asked, "What if he angers the Emperor of Qikong and the Emperor kills him in a fit of rage?"
Sheng Jingyu repeated that if Sheng Ziyan really died, the reason would definitely not be that he angered the emperor of Qikong Kingdom, but that the emperor wanted to start a war.
Not only will Sheng Ziyan die, but all of these people will die after the war starts!
The emperor fell silent again, and Sheng Jingyu felt that his brain had broken down...
It's such a simple thing, why can't you understand it?
Seeing his dim eyes and ashen face, Su Wenyuan assumed he had suffered some injustice and asked, "Did the Emperor scold you?"
"He might as well have scolded me!" Sheng Jingyu said, looking aggrieved, as she hid in Su Wenyuan's arms.
Su Wenyuan placed her hand on his back and patted him gently a few times to comfort him, while asking, "I didn't scold you, why do you look so pale?"
"He... seems to have gone mad. I can't understand him. I've been going back and forth about the same thing all afternoon, and my throat is all dry," Sheng Jingyu complained with a bitter face.
Su Wenyuan took the teacup, brought it to his lips, and said, "What's so hard to understand about something this simple?"
Who knows?
