Chapter 116 Three Rules
"What?" Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang, somewhat puzzled by his sudden remark. She frowned, looked at Su Wenliang, and asked with some doubt, "What does this mean?"
Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning without speaking, appearing hesitant. After a long while, he sighed and finally said, "At that time... you might be in danger..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning was stunned, staring at Su Wenliang speechlessly. Could it be that Su Wenliang was...?
“Now you are the death knell for your second brother.” Su Wenliang glanced at Ye Wanning and said indifferently, “The Crown Prince’s wedding banquet is firstly to establish a relationship with Prime Minister Ye, and secondly…” As he spoke, Su Wenliang stared intently at Ye Wanning for a long while before saying, “If this matter is really the same as what you said, then the Crown Prince is now… probably going to have to gamble everything.”
Did they kidnap her to blackmail Su Wenzhen? Ye Wanning was stunned, looking at Su Wenliang with a surprised expression, "So Su Wenzhen...?"
“That’s right.” Su Wenliang nodded. “If you really fall into his trap, I’m afraid even your second brother won’t be able to save you.”
Ye Wanning pursed her lips, pondering the credibility of Su Wenliang's words. Her eyes darkened slightly. She did know that Su Wenliang and Ye Wanyi's marriage had been brought forward, but... if she made an excuse and didn't go without warning, it might give Su Wenliang an even greater opportunity. Ye Wanning frowned, after all, breaking the rules was a great disrespect.
After a while, Ye Wanning looked up at Su Wenliang with a wary expression and asked, "How did you find out about this?"
"I..." Su Wenliang frowned, looked at Ye Wanning, and after a while, he finally spoke, "I overheard it by accident..." As he spoke, he looked at Ye Wanning with a wronged expression, "Does my sister-in-law not believe me?"
"I don't think this is very credible." Ye Wanning frowned, and after a while, she said, "You know, what could Su Wenyi do in front of so many people?"
"You weren't on guard against Ning Wanzhi's situation either, were you?" Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning and shook his head helplessly. "Does Your Majesty want to go through that again, sister-in-law?"
"Go through it again?" Ye Wanning smiled, looked at Su Wenliang, and slightly curled her lips. "How would I know if you deliberately told me this, deliberately giving Su Wenliang an opportunity to impeach me and Wenzhen?"
"Is this what you think of me?" Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning, his face darkening.
“That’s not the point.” Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang and smiled. “You were originally Su Wenliang’s person. Even if Su Wenliang has given up on you now, it doesn’t mean you will betray him.”
"What do you mean by that? Our Third Prince meant well, but you see it as malice?" Qiao Ke drew his sword and held it against Ye Wanning's neck, speaking fiercely, "Are you going to help the Third Prince or not? If not, I'll kill you and that maid right now, so that no one will find out if it's too late!"
"What's the rush?" Ye Wanning looked up at Qiao Ke and smiled mischievously. "I didn't say I wouldn't help you and your Third Prince, but..." Ye Wanning smiled and looked at Su Wenliang. "I can help, but there have to be conditions in the deal, right?"
"What are the conditions?" Upon hearing Ye Wanning's words, Su Wenliang quickly asked, "Just tell me, as long as it's something I can help you with."
"This matter isn't really a big deal, but..." Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looked at Su Wenliang, and said slightly, "I'm afraid... you're unwilling to do it?"
Upon hearing Ye Wanning's words, Su Wenliang was slightly taken aback. "What is it?"
"I'll help you get out of the city. Tell me all of Su Wenliang's plans..." Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang, smiled, and said, "How about it?"
"This matter..." Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning and said with some difficulty, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looking completely nonchalant.
“Although I have always respected the Crown Prince, but…” Su Wenliang pursed his lips and after a while, said with some helplessness, “But… normally, he has not talked to me much about court affairs… even that day…” Su Wenliang glanced at Ye Wanning and continued, “even that day, sending people to the Prince of Jin’s residence was arranged by him and he informed me of it.”
"So..." Ye Wanning frowned and looked at Su Wenliang, "you know nothing about this?"
“Yes.” Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning and nodded somewhat helplessly.
Hearing this, Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang for a long while, then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! Su Wenliang, how can I put my heart into what you've done?" As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Su Wenliang with a serious face, "Since that's the case, why should I help you?"
“I…” Su Wenliang froze, looking at Ye Wanning, unable to speak.
"If you don't help, I'll kill you today!" Qiao Ke, standing to the side, grew anxious, his sword drawing ever closer to Ye Wanning. He raised an eyebrow, "Don't push your luck!"
"Who's pushing their luck?" Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang and sneered, "Su Wenliang, is this how you beg for help? If that's the case, then there's no need for us to talk anymore. Just kill me." With that, Ye Wanning closed her eyes, looking as if she was ready to die.
"Qiao Ke!" Upon seeing this, Su Wenliang immediately shouted, "Get out of here!"
“Third Prince…” Qiao Ke frowned, looking at Su Wenliang with a hesitant expression, “She clearly doesn’t want to help you…”
"Do you think she'll help me like this?" Su Wenliang frowned and roared at Qiao Ke, "Get out of my way!"
After hesitating for a while, Qiao Ke looked at Ye Wanning and shook his head, "Yes."
"Royal Sister-in-law." Su Wenliang strode forward, staring intently at Ye Wanning, without saying another word.
Su Wenliang's gaze made Ye Wanning feel uneasy. After a pause, she composed herself, looked at Su Wenliang with a frown, and asked, "What is it?"
“Although I can’t tell you about the Crown Prince’s plans, but…” Su Wenlian looked at Ye Wanning with a determined expression, “As long as I can get out of the city, I can escape their pursuit, and I can also make the Qiang Kingdom withdraw its troops.”
"Make the Qiang Kingdom withdraw its troops?" Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning was stunned. So... Su Wenyi's plan... She looked at Su Wenliang and cautiously asked, "Are you sure?"
“Of course.” Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning and nodded. “It seems that the Crown Prince’s plan is to force the Emperor to hand over power. If that’s the case, then his plan will definitely not be able to be implemented if the Qiang Kingdom withdraws its troops.”
“But…” Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang and frowned, “How can you be so sure that the Qiang Kingdom will withdraw its troops?”
"What benefit would they gain from sending troops?" Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning and smiled. "In the end, this Crown Prince is only after power. Does he really have the heart to hand over the Chu Kingdom to someone else?" As he spoke, Su Wenliang shook his head. "The Crown Prince is not that kind of person."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning's eyes darkened. It was true that Su Wenxuan had informed the Qiang Kingdom of this matter, but there was probably a lot of exaggeration in it. Perhaps he was waiting for the Qiang army to fall into his trap so that he could wipe them all out and win over the hearts of the people.
“When I return to the Qiang Kingdom, I will inform the King of Qiang about this matter. I believe he will be able to discern the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.” Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning and smiled. “If it were you, would you continue to send troops?”
“Of course not.” Ye Wanning looked up at Su Wenliang and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be so clever. In that case…” Ye Wanning curled her lips and looked at Su Wenliang. “Then I can help you with this matter.”
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Su Wenliang was overjoyed and looked at Ye Wanning. "In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
“However…” Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Wenliang, “I need to make three rules with you.”
"Huh?" Su Wenliang was taken aback, looked at Ye Wanning for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Which three chapters?"
"This first place..." Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat strange. "You are not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me in the future."
Hearing this, Su Wenliang was taken aback, his face flushing slightly. He looked at Ye Wanning and nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I understand..."
Seeing Su Wenliang's appearance, Ye Wanning was taken aback. Something felt... off... After a pause, she added, "Secondly, you can no longer collude with Su Wenliang..."
"Does my sister-in-law really think I'm an idiot?" Before Ye Wanning could finish speaking, Su Wenliang interrupted her, shaking his head helplessly. "Now that all this has happened, how could I possibly stand with him?"
"In that case, that's good." Ye Wanning nodded. She looked at Su Wenliang, and after a long while, she said, "This third..." She pursed her lips and winked at Su Wenliang, "Come here, I'll tell you..."
