"I'm too excited. I'll be careful." Sheng Jingyu's gaze turned calm. "Are you going to the palace to see Princess Heyi? She should be paying her respects to Consort Wan right now."
Before leaving, it's essential to pay a farewell visit.
Su Wenyuan said, "No, I'm going directly to the post station to deliver some gifts to Prince Jin."
Sheng Jingyu instructed, "Be careful, and let Ye Shan accompany you."
Ever since she was injured, Sheng Jingyu has been constantly worried that the people of Qikong Kingdom would harm her.
Su Wenyuan laughed and said, "No need, there will be no danger. Princess Heyi has finally had a chance to leave, and she is most afraid of something happening to her. She can't wait to leave."
Even when Empress Yuan was beaten, Princess Heyi didn't make a fuss and kept it quiet.
To them, Ankawa is now a den of wolves and tigers, with danger lurking everywhere.
If you want to be safe, you should at least leave the capital and get away from the couple.
At the entrance of the post station, the soldiers were fully equipped and ready to depart. When the accompanying ministers saw Su Wenyuan, they immediately stepped forward to pay their respects, showing the utmost courtesy.
Su Wenyuan looked at them one by one; she didn't recognize any of them, but they were all people from Sheng Yuanhe.
Sheng Jingyu has been in a bad mood these past few days, and it's inextricably linked to them.
"The officials in court are sharp-tongued and aggressive, quite imposing indeed. I hope they can be just as assertive during their verbal battles in Qikong Kingdom," Su Wenyuan said coldly.
The group exchanged glances, sensing the sarcasm in her words.
What did they do wrong? They were scolded by Sheng Jingyu in court, and then subtly mocked by Su Wenyuan before they set off.
Su Wenyuan walked past them and went straight into the post station.
As she disappeared from sight, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them asked in a low voice, "The princess just said we were powerful? I remember the prince called us a bunch of good-for-nothings. What's so powerful about that?"
"Isn't this ironic? Who among you offended Princess Consort Chen?" another person guessed.
"No!"
"I don't have any either!"
None of the four people had offended Su Wenyuan.
The person who spoke first analyzed, "If we had really offended them, would we still be standing here? Even with the protection of the Qikong Kingdom, Prince Jin was still seriously injured. If it were us, we would only be waiting to die."
Everyone agreed with this statement, and they ultimately guessed that it was due to differing perspectives.
They are all part of the Crown Prince's faction, so it's normal for Princess Chen to disapprove.
But actually, Su Wenyuan came to stand up for Sheng Jingyu. With so many mouths attacking Sheng Jingyu together, it's normal that Sheng Jingyu couldn't win the argument.
The people in the inn were all busy, and when they saw Su Wenyuan coming, they all avoided her like the plague.
Su Wenyuan shouted directly in the courtyard, "They're already leaving, why are they still so rude? Isn't anyone going to come out and greet them?"
In the past, it was always Empress Yuan who came on her own initiative, but now that he is injured, only other envoys can come to greet Su Wenyuan.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. The princess has not yet returned from the palace, and the crown prince is still recovering from his serious injuries and cannot come out to greet us," the envoy replied tremblingly.
Su Wenyuan feigned confusion and asked, "Where is Lord Yuan? He was perfectly fine when I went to Prince Chen's residence last night, so why can't I see him today?"
The envoy said, "Last night the post station was attacked, and Lord Yuan's face was damaged. It is not appropriate for him to come and see the Princess."
Su Wenyuan suppressed a laugh and said, "Your way of putting it is quite elegant. Alright then, I won't insist. These are gifts I'm giving to the young master, so please make sure he takes them with him."
After saying that, Meng Qi waved excitedly.
A dozen or so servants carried several pigs forward, and the envoy's face changed drastically when he saw them.
Why is it pigs again? Su Wenyuan sent them once, and it almost made Jin Kouhe furious.
The envoy looked troubled and said, "Perhaps... Your Highness should take them back. It's not very convenient to carry these on the road."
The main thing is to prevent Jinkouhe from seeing this, otherwise he'll get angry.
Su Wenyuan's expression hardened, her eyes filled with anger, and she looked like she was about to explode.
The envoy quickly changed his tune, saying, "Since it is the Queen's kind intention, I will accept it on behalf of the Crown Prince."
Su Wenyuan's anger turned to joy, and her attitude became exceptionally warm. She smiled and said, "That's right. The sentiment is the most important thing. Besides, what trouble could this possibly cause?"
After exchanging pleasantries with the envoy for a while, Su Wenyuan finally left.
When the adults saw her as she was leaving, they immediately became nervous, fearing that she might cause trouble.
They were also terrified of Sheng Jingyu's scolding; when he scolded them during the morning court session, even the emperor didn't dare to interrupt.
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen," Su Wenyuan said indifferently, then turned and left.
However, Su Wenyuan did not enter the palace immediately, but observed from a nearby restaurant, waiting for them to leave.
Not long after Princess Heyi returned, Empress Yuan was carried onto a carriage. The so-called damage to her face was actually due to being beaten so badly that she was unrecognizable. It seemed that she also had difficulty speaking, and it was unknown whether she still had her teeth.
Jin Kouhe saw the pigs, but surprisingly, he didn't get angry; he just glanced at them casually.
He had already been disciplined by Su Wenyuan, so he could pretend not to see such mockery.
The important thing is to leave as soon as possible!
Once he returns to Qikong Kingdom, he will still be the arrogant prince he always was.
He will never come to Anchuan again, not even if it means death.
I swear, I'll never see Su Wenyuan again! Really! Never again!
As for the guards, he couldn't control them. Empress Yuan had already been beaten, so if he went to ask for them, he would be beaten too. He would go back and deal with it later; someone would eventually take care of it.
From their departing figures, Su Wenyuan sensed that they were fleeing Anchuan Kingdom.
This is completely different from when I came back.
"Finally, they're gone! I wonder how much they gained on this trip." Su Wenyuan sighed.
They suffered a loss on the surface, but who knows if they gained any useful information in secret?
Meng Qi said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the princes know what they're doing, you don't need to worry about it."
After learning that Sheng Jingyu was not blind, Su Wenyuan was indeed relieved.
Sheng Jingyu has been scheming for that position for many years, so he definitely understands the situation better than she does.
"I can certainly trust this matter, but I'm not comfortable with things in the palace. The Empress can't take advantage of our past favors to bully people." Su Wenyuan stretched and prepared to enter the palace.
Meng Qi nodded emphatically and agreed, "Absolutely not!"
He didn't understand, but he was willing to continue speaking with Su Wenyuan.
At this moment, the Empress was secretly delighted in the palace, thinking that Princess Heyi's return would bring some big moves and she would do something for Consort Wan.
As a result, everything became a complete mess, and now it's obvious they've run back.
"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have needed to be on guard day and night, always looking like I was facing a formidable enemy." The Empress's tone was contemptuous and utterly disdainful.
Granny Cheng laughed and said, "Yes, in the end we overestimated Princess Heyi."
The Empress retorted, "It's not entirely because we overestimated him; it's mainly because things happened by chance. I never expected that Prince Jin and Princess Chen would have such a falling out."
"If it weren't for that accident in the paddock, they might have left at any time."
