Chapter 115 Send out of the city
"Ugh..." Ye Wanning tried her best to pry the hand covering her mouth, but to no avail.
After being dragged into the house, Ye Wanning seemed to hear a noise behind her and turned around, only to find Cui'er tied to a chair, struggling fiercely. Seeing Cui'er's appearance, Ye Wanning was startled and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She secretly glanced at the man and couldn't help but frown. Su Wenliang... what exactly does he want to do?
Just as she was thinking this, Su Wenliang's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Sister-in-law, I apologize."
Ye Wanning frowned and clenched her fists. She calmed herself down and knew that struggling was useless, so she stopped struggling.
Seeing that Ye Wanning had calmed down a lot, Su Wenliang nodded and called softly to the side, "Come here!" Only then did Ye Wanning realize that there was another person in the room. Seeing this, Ye Wanning's doubts increased even more.
Following Cui'er's example, the two tied Ye Wanning to a chair and gagged her with a strip of cloth.
"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty." With that, Su Wenliang tied several knots behind Ye Wanning's back, stood up, clapped his hands, and looked at Ye Wanning with a face full of apology. After a long pause, he sighed and continued, "Everyone is looking for me now, I... I have no choice but to do this..."
Ye Wanning looked at the person in front of her, her eyes flashing a few times. She frowned and shifted her body impatiently.
“Sister-in-law…” Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said, “I came here today… because I have a request for you.”
Ye Wanning didn't say anything. She looked at Su Wenliang, then lowered her head, indicating that she wanted him to remove the foreign object from her mouth.
Seeing this, Su Wenliang was taken aback. He looked at Ye Wanning and asked in confusion, "Does Your Majesty want me to remove the strips of cloth?"
Ye Wanning nodded.
Seeing Ye Wanning nod, Su Wenliang pursed his lips and after a while said, "Then, sister-in-law, you must promise me that you will not call for help."
Ye Wanning looked at him, thought for a moment, and nodded again. Seeing that Ye Wanning agreed, Su Wenliang stepped forward and was about to remove the gag from Ye Wanning's mouth when he heard another person standing to the side say, "Third Prince! You mustn't!"
"It's alright." Su Wenliang lowered his head, completely ignoring the person's cries. He removed the gag from Ye Wanning's mouth and looked at her casually, saying, "I believe her."
"But..." Seeing that the thing in Ye Wanning's mouth had been removed, the man didn't know what to say, so he drew his sword and looked at Ye Wanning with a wary expression.
She had never intended to call for help, and now she certainly did. Ye Wanning sneered, sticking out her tongue to relieve the discomfort in her mouth. After a while, she looked at Su Wenliang with a face full of anger, "Su Wenliang, what are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law..." Upon hearing this, Su Wenliang frowned, walked to Ye Wanning's side, and slowly squatted down. "I... I didn't mean to..."
"Stop with that face of yours, it disgusts me." Ye Wanning turned her head away in disgust, frowning as she sneered, "You really have the nerve to stay here now."
"You know?" Upon hearing this, Su Wenliang was taken aback, then looked at Ye Wanning, seemingly showing signs of anger. "Even you don't believe me?"
"Why should I believe you?" Ye Wanning turned her head and met Su Wenliang's indignant gaze, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously. "Su Wenliang, don't you think too highly of yourself?"
"I..." Su Wenliang felt extremely angry. He stood up and angrily waved his sleeve. "I didn't come here today to argue with you."
"Do you think I'm in the mood to argue with you?" Ye Wanning sneered. She glanced at Su Wenliang, then looked at the ropes binding her and said, "Su Wenliang, if you don't untie me now, you're finished when Wenzhen comes back."
"Who am I afraid of now?" Su Wenliang glanced at Ye Wanning, a smirk playing on his lips. He then turned around, sat down on a chair with his back to Ye Wanning, and said, "Now, in your eyes, am I nothing more than a traitor?"
"So you knew too." Ye Wanning shook her head with a smile. She looked at Su Wenliang and found it somewhat amusing. "If that's the case, why didn't you run away to save your life? Instead, you came here to coerce me. Su Wenliang, are you out of your mind?"
"Do you think my Third Prince can still leave now!" Seeing that Ye Wanning's tone was unfriendly, the guard standing to the side finally couldn't help but interject with a dissatisfied look.
"Qiao Ke! Who gave you permission to speak!" Upon hearing the man speak, Su Wenliang slammed his fist on the table and roared. After speaking, his tone became calm again, "Sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart. I haven't managed my subordinates well."
"What's it to me?" Ye Wanning sneered. You may be in the mood to put on a monkey show, but I'm not!
“Of course I know.” Su Wenliang shook his head with a wry smile. After a pause, he stood up and walked to Ye Wanning. “Sister-in-law, I’ve come today to ask for your help.”
"Ha! Su Wenliang, you really think highly of me." Ye Wanning shook her head with a cold laugh. "Just now, your guards said you couldn't get it out. Do you think I have a way to help you escape? Besides..." Ye Wanning smiled and curled her lips, looking at Su Wenliang, her eyes suddenly darkening. "I still remember what happened last time. Now, seeing you, I wish I could tear you to pieces. How do you think I would help you!"
"I believe my sister-in-law is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong! Does she really think that I was the one who leaked the news of Father's serious illness?!" Upon hearing this, Su Wenliang couldn't help but roar, "If that's the case, then I've misjudged you!"
Seeing Su Wenliang's words, Ye Wanning pursed her lips. She knew that Su Wenliang was definitely not the spy from Chu, but... she smiled and shook her head, "Su Wenliang, you are too naive. So what if I don't think you are a spy? Why should I help you?"
"That incident at the Prince of Jin's residence that day..." Su Wenliang sighed, then suddenly changed the subject, "I know I've wronged you, but... I really didn't instigate that..."
Hearing this, Ye Wanning was taken aback, somewhat confused. Why was he suddenly bringing this up? She frowned, and after a long while, she said, "What's done is done, and besides..." Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang, her face full of indignation, "If you hadn't condoned it, things wouldn't have turned out like that!"
“That’s right…” Su Wenliang suddenly lowered his head, burying his face in his hands as if in extreme pain. “If I hadn’t indulged him… things wouldn’t have turned out like that… But sister-in-law, I…”
"You deserve to be in this mess now!" Ye Wanning glared at Su Wenliang and cursed angrily.
“Yes, I deserve it.” Su Wenliang smiled, his face devoid of any emotion. “But…” He suddenly turned to look at Ye Wanning. “Even if I die, I’d rather not bear that kind of infamy!”
Ye Wanning frowned, looking at Su Wenliang, and suddenly didn't know what to say. She naturally didn't have any good feelings towards Su Wenliang, but... if he was really arrested, since that person had already made arrangements, then the crime would definitely be pinned on him. She wouldn't have any extra feelings, but... if that were the case, wouldn't the real mastermind be impossible to catch?
Seeing Ye Wanning's troubled expression, Su Wenliang thought she had been persuaded by him, and quickly continued, "Sister-in-law, I only ask you to help me this once, how about it?"
Hearing Su Wenliang say that, Ye Wanning couldn't help but roll her eyes. Sometimes, she really couldn't figure out what Su Wenliang was thinking. Was he just too naive or...? Oh well, Ye Wanning sighed, and after a long while, she looked at Su Wenliang and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Find a carriage and take Qiao Ke and me out of the city."
Ye Wanning was taken aback, and looked at Su Wenliang with some confusion, asking, "At this time, everyone must be investigating you closely. How can I take you out of the city? Are you joking?"
“Sister-in-law, I have a reason for coming to see you.” Hearing this, Su Wenliang smiled and said, “Now everyone knows that this power is in the hands of my second brother. If you want, there is no need to go out of the city to investigate this matter.”
Using the identity of the Princess Consort of Jin? Ye Wanning was taken aback, and immediately shook her head at Su Wenliang, "No."
"Why?" Su Wenliang was taken aback, looking at Ye Wanning with some confusion.
"Su Wenliang, haven't you thought about this?" Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang and smiled. "This matter is clearly aimed at you. Do you think this is just a coincidence? It just so happens that the Qiang Kingdom attacked the Chu Kingdom at this time, and it just so happens that you were framed at this time?"
"Impossible." Upon hearing this, Su Wenliang shook his head with a smile. "Even the Crown Prince..." Before he could finish speaking, Su Wenliang realized he had misspoke, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The Crown Prince? Upon hearing this term, Ye Wanning was taken aback. She immediately understood what was going on. Ye Wanning curled her lips and smiled at Su Wenliang, "Do you really think the Crown Prince is on your side?"
"What do you mean?" Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning, somewhat puzzled.
"Don't you think there's something fishy about what happened at the Prince's residence that day?" Ye Wanning squinted at Su Wenliang. "And today, why didn't the Crown Prince send you out of the city directly, but only told you that you were framed? If he wanted to, couldn't he have sent both of you out of Duyang City?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wenliang stiffened, and recent events suddenly flashed through his mind. How could there be agarwood in Ning Wanzhi's room? And today... it was also the Crown Prince who hinted that he should come to see Ye Wanning, saying that as long as she agreed, he could definitely leave the city...
Seeing Su Wenliang's expression suddenly turn ugly, Ye Wanning smiled, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Su Wenliang, "What? Have you figured it out? Good that you have, so you won't be made a fool of by others."
"Don't go to the Crown Prince's wedding banquet." After a long pause, Su Wenliang suddenly looked at Ye Wanning and said.
