"With you here, what do I have to worry about? Come and try my freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea, and see if my tea-brewing skills have improved." Yun Hao smiled as he poured Su Ruojin a cup of tea.
Su Ruojin sat down opposite Yun Hao, took a sip of tea, and said, "Not bad, you've improved. If you have the chance, let my fourth master teach you again, and you'll definitely improve."
"I couldn't have gotten it."
“Now you don’t have to worry about Empress Sun forcing Jia Yingying on you,” Su Ruojin said.
"My good father has given me such a good opportunity. Wouldn't it be a waste not to use it? Heh, he actually wants to use this method to force you to my eldest brother." Yun Hao said with a face full of sarcasm.
Su Ruojin put down her teacup. "It seems your father intends to pass the throne to the eldest prince."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to force her onto the eldest prince.
"As far as my father is concerned, regardless of whether my third brother acted intentionally or unintentionally, or whether he knew about it or not, the elixir of immortality ultimately led to his imminent death. Based on this alone, my father would never pass the throne to him. As for me..."
Yun Hao raised his left hand, a self-deprecating smile on his face. "He wouldn't pass the throne to a cripple. That leaves only the eldest prince, since he only has two months to live. He'll naturally pave the way for my eldest brother."
Two days ago, Su Ruojin found Yun Hao after receiving the invitation from the Crown Prince's wife.
Why would a pregnant princess hold a plum blossom appreciation banquet in the dead of winter?
Although this princess consort had previously held a plum blossom appreciation banquet, she was not pregnant at that time, so it is very illogical for her to suddenly do this now.
Since she didn't know anything about this Crown Prince's wife, she asked Yun Hao.
Yun Hao told her that news had come from the palace that the Emperor wanted the Crown Prince's wife to keep Su Ruojin.
With this news, the two naturally understood that this plum blossom viewing banquet was actually aimed at her.
Let's just play along.
Since Empress Sun liked Jia Yingying so much, she decided to give her to Jia Yingying as her daughter-in-law.
"It seems the Second Prince has more and more pawns in the palace."
Otherwise, how could Yun Hao have known immediately that the prince wanted the eldest prince's wife to keep Su Ruojin?
Yun Hao smiled and did not deny it.
“Since your father trusts the eldest prince, then we will shatter that trust.”
"Third brother should be making his move soon. How could my eldest brother possibly sit still? If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to return to Great Chu in peace soon." Yun Hao raised his teacup and took another sip.

The study of the Third Prince's residence.
“Grandfather, we can’t wait any longer! Father no longer trusts me and Mother.”
Yun Shao was furious. He was just one step away from forcing his father to pass the throne to him by claiming that only he had the antidote to the elixir of immortality. But that bastard Yun Hao ruined it.
He was determined to kill Yun Hao.
The Duke of Jin remained silent.
"Grandfather! Uncle's men have all entered Yuncheng, just waiting for our signal. If we catch them off guard, Father will have no choice but to abdicate. If we drag this out any longer, Mother and I will die, and the Duke of Jin's mansion will be finished." Yun Shao became even more anxious when she saw that the Duke of Jin was silent.
The Duke of Jin raised his head, as if he had made up his mind, his eyes filled with a sinister look, "We'll make our move tomorrow!"
The next day, at Weiyang Palace.
Empress Sun slapped the eldest prince across the face.
"I have truly raised a fine son!"
Yun Gan covered his face and cried, "Mother, don't blame your son. I thought it was Su Ruojin, but it turned out to be Jia Yingying. Someone must have been behind this."
Empress Sun felt a throbbing pain in her temples, a feeling of exasperation and frustration.
This is clearly a case of falling into someone's trap.
Even if he fell for it, Yun Gan could recognize that the other party was Jia Yingying at that time. He couldn't resist, so who can he blame?
"Mother, what should we do now?"
