Su Wenyuan perked up, pondered seriously for a long time, and then asked, calculating the days, "When would be a suitable day for me to go to the post station?"
Sheng Jingyu asked, puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"Go ahead and show off!" Su Wenyuan chuckled, unable to contain herself.
Although the Emperor had already issued the decree, the attitudes of the various parties were inconsistent. Empress Yuan wanted to wait for Qi Kongguo's reply before deciding whether or not to leave.
The Emperor, however, said that the situation was no longer within their control.
This is Yasukawa Province; he's the one who calls the shots.
Princess Heyi pleaded with Consort Wan, who then rushed to the Emperor to complain. The Emperor, however, asked in return if it wouldn't be better for him to keep Princess Heyi.
Princess Heyi disliked the prince from the beginning, but she had no choice but to marry him.
At that time, Consort Wan did not want her to go on a political marriage. Now, after all the twists and turns, they have achieved the result they wanted. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
Consort Wan was confused when she heard this.
The Emperor's decision to allow Princess Heyi to remain in Anchuan Kingdom is a good thing for both her and the princess.
The Emperor also promised to build a princess's residence for Princess Heyi.
Princess Heyi had left the palace for many years for a marriage alliance, so her return naturally warranted respect. Throughout Anchuan Kingdom, no one would gossip about her, and the Emperor even agreed to let her choose a consort she desired.
With so many conditions laid out, Consort Wan immediately betrayed the regime and went back to persuade Princess Heyi to stay.
What's so great about Qikong Kingdom? It's obviously better to stay here.
When Sheng Yuanhe ascends the throne, she will become the emperor's elder sister. How glorious that would be! It would be much better than being a princess of another country.
Princess Heyi had no choice but to pin her hopes on Sheng Yuanhe, who agreed to persuade the Emperor.
However, he did not say it directly, but instead subtly probed the emperor's thoughts.
Ever since the Emperor learned of Princess Heyi's betrayal, he had become wary of Sheng Yuanhe and had not told the truth.
He wasn't afraid that Sheng Yuanhe and Qi Kongguo had any connection, but rather that he was afraid of the deep bond between Sheng Yuanhe and the princess.
With just a few simple words, Sheng Yuanhe realized that the Emperor's attitude was very firm, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this Prince Chen's intention?"
The Emperor replied, "No, Jingyu means to kill Prince Jin."
Sheng Yuanhe fell silent. It seemed best to let them leave as soon as possible.
As for Princess Heyi, it wouldn't be bad for her to stay, since she doesn't like Jinkouhe anyway.
Princess Heyi said she was afraid that staying in Anchuan Kingdom would cause her to be criticized, and the Emperor promised that this would not happen.
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.
For two whole days, Princess Heyi searched everywhere and tried every possible method, but she was still unable to resolve the matter.
Seeing her so anxious, the Emperor became even more certain of what Sheng Jingyu had said.
Princess Heyi's heart is no longer with Anchuan Kingdom.
For the first time, Yuan Hou felt helpless in a foreign land. In Qikong Kingdom, he could always find a way.
But here, he wouldn't even have a chance to speak if the emperor gave him a single order.
That noon, Su Wenyuan had just finished eating when she got up and went to the post station.
She had wanted to go for a long time, but Sheng Jingyu kept stopping her, saying that she should rest well in the mansion for a while.
But Su Wenyuan couldn't wait that long; if she didn't go now, she would miss her chance.
The Emperor has issued a second decree urging her to hurry up, but Empress Yuan, relying on the fact that her wounds at Jinkouhe have not yet healed, has been delaying again and again.
It's not just a matter of not being able to find any information now; there's also Princess Heyi involved.
However, he left Princess Heyi here after returning to Anchuan Kingdom, and he really wouldn't know how to explain it when he got back.
He hadn't slept well for three days in a row, and when he heard that Su Wenyuan was coming, his first reaction was to avoid her.
But he wasn't in charge here. No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Wenyuan walked in.
"Lord Yuan is truly heartless. No matter what, we've had many friendly exchanges. I came to check on the young master's injuries, why are you trying to send me away?" Su Wenyuan said with a smile.
The moment Empress Yuan saw her, she felt utterly overwhelmed.
He's already stopped going out, so why is Su Wenyuan still chasing after him to beat him up?
"Princess Consort Chen, we have never had a friendly exchange. What brings you here today?" Empress Yuan said through gritted teeth, her anger burning within her.
Su Wenyuan peeked behind him and said, "Let's see how your young master's injuries are."
Empress Yuan took a deep breath and said, "The Princess should ask Prince Chen about the Crown Prince's injuries, since he was the one who did it."
She definitely didn't come to check on Jin Kouhe's injuries; she wouldn't be that kind.
"Then let me put it another way. I'm here to demand an explanation. I want to know just how much the young master hates me to have someone assassinate me." Su Wenyuan's expression hardened, and her tone became unfriendly.
Empress Yuan wanted to refuse, but then Princess Heyi arrived and told Su Wenyuan to go in.
"Greetings, Princess Heyi. I won't chat with you any longer today; we'll have plenty of time in the future." Su Wenyuan smiled and walked straight inside.
Su Wenyuan seemed to be deliberately reminding Princess Heyi that she couldn't leave.
Empress Yuan said worriedly from behind, "Princess..."
Princess Heyi gestured for silence, and after watching Su Wenyuan go inside, she lowered her voice and said, "Doesn't she want to know about Marquis Anle? With her help, we can go back together."
...
When Su Wenyuan went in, Jin Kouhe was groaning on the bed.
It hurt so much, and I dared not move at all.
Still feeling frustrated, I could only vent by whining and muttering to myself.
There was no one around to take care of her, and she had to shout loudly even if she wanted a sip of water.
"Someone come here! Bring water!" Jin Kouhe shouted with all his might.
Su Wenyuan glanced at the teacup beside her and said, "Your Highness wants a drink of water now, but there's no one to serve you? Aren't you of noble status? How come you look less important than me?"
The sound startled Jin Kouhe so much that he almost jumped out of bed.
"You, you, you..." Jin Kouhe hid inside in terror, stammering incoherently.
He was frightened by Sheng Jingyu, and now he's afraid of Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan sat down and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Who let you in? I don't want to see you. Get out right now." Jin Kouhe waved his hand frantically, as if that would chase Su Wenyuan out.
Su Wenyuan said with a smile, "The princess let me in, what are you afraid of? You are the crown prince, and I am just a princess of low birth who can be replaced at any time. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Su Wenyuan used his previous words to put him down.
Jin Kouhe remained silent, his face burning with pain.
Su Wenyuan showed no sign of stopping, mocking him while frequently glancing towards the door.
Finally, Jin Kouhe couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Shut up! Shut up!"
Seeing that he was quite agitated, Su Wenyuan was afraid that he would die of anger, so she decided to leave.
But just as she was about to leave, she received an invitation from Princess Heyi, who said she wanted to have tea with her.
"This inn doesn't seem to have any good tea. If you really want to treat me, let's go somewhere else," Su Wenyuan said with a slight smile.
