Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1235 Secret Connection
After everything was agreed upon, Yuwen Qian returned to his quiet house hidden deep in the Prince's Mansion. Only the Crown Princess personally saw the King of Qi off.

The two of them didn't have much to say, so they walked out quietly. Just as they were about to reach the gate, Yuwen Cheng looked around and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that father has locked up Shang Shoufei, is that right?"

Yu Mingyue's face suddenly darkened.

The Qianniu Guard and the Xiaowei Army had such a mess that even if the emperor did not punish the general who led the Twelve Guards, he would not let the two commanders go, so he imprisoned Shang Shoufei in the Dali Temple.

There was nothing wrong with this, but what made Yu Mingyue angry was that Su Changjing was not locked up but was only fined five hundred gold.

In the eyes of outsiders, these two people were the prince's men, and the emperor's one strict and one lenient approach was considered to be giving face to the prince. However, Yu Mingyue was very unhappy in her heart. After all, it was she who instigated Shang Shoufei, and Su Changjing, as Yu Mingzhu's husband, almost got away with it. She was just shooting herself in the foot and completely lost face.

So even after these things happened, she never went back to the Yu family to discuss them with Yu Dingxing.

Now when she heard Yuwen Cheng's question, she just said calmly, "The people at the Dali Temple also said that it was just a show. They will release him after a few days of detention."

Yuwen Cheng laughed twice, staggered towards the gate, and said, "Sister-in-law, you had a plan before, but now you have no way to deal with my second brother."

"..."

"I always thought that those books you read, sister-in-law, made you know everything."

Yu Mingyue was so angry that her teeth itched, but facing the man who was almost the biggest and one of the few remaining pillars in their camp, she could only swallow the ridicule and said lightly: "Then, third brother, will your plan really work?"

Yu Wencheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "Sister-in-law, do you have a better idea?"

"..."

Yu Mingyue frowned and said nothing.

If it were before, she would probably really think of another way, but since Shang Shoufei was instigated by her to find trouble with Su Changjing this time, causing a melee at the palace gate between the Qianniu Guards and the Youxiao Guards, not only did he not even hurt the generals of the Twelve Guards, but he also made the emperor promise that Yuwen Ye would take his trusted generals to Luoyang, this made her both indignant and helpless.

This is the emperor being biased.

So he said, "There are a few ways to deal with them. But since you already have an idea, let's see if your method is feasible."

Yuwen Cheng laughed twice more, and then said, "Okay, I hope my brother and sister-in-law will help you."

After saying that, he swaggered out of the gate, got on the carriage and drove away.

Yu Mingyue stood at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, looking at the cloud of dust raised by the carriage, and recalled what he had just said, "please help me a lot." She couldn't help but frowned and murmured, "I'm afraid you don't understand who is helping whom."

On the other side, Yu Wencheng left and soon returned to the Prince of Qi's Mansion, which was not far from the Crown Prince's Mansion. As soon as he walked in, he saw the butler Hu Shan approaching him and whispered, "Your Highness, the Prince of Qi, General Su Changjing is here to visit."

"he came."

Yu Wencheng was not too surprised when he heard this. He just paused and asked: "Where did he come from?"

Butler Hu immediately smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I let him in through the back door, so no one saw him."

Yu Wencheng nodded: "That's good."

After saying that, he strode in and walked into the lobby. As expected, he saw Su Changjing sitting there drinking tea in a dark-colored suit that hardly attracted anyone's attention on such a cloudy day. There was also a veil on the table next to him. When he saw him coming, he quickly stood up and saluted. Yuwen Cheng walked in and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be so polite."

Su Changjing immediately said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yuwen Cheng walked to the front of the hall and sat down. He looked at Su Changjing's face and saw two bruises that had not disappeared. He smiled and said, "It seems that you have suffered a lot this time."

When Su Changjing mentioned this, his expression became even uglier, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor also fined me 500 gold!"

Yuwen Cheng said, "Don't feel wronged. Do you want to be imprisoned in the Dali Temple like Shang Shoufei, and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to calm down before releasing you?"

Su Changjing immediately said, "Yes. I also know that I am safe and sound this time because His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi pleaded for me."

Yu Wencheng smiled faintly and waved his hand.

Su Changjing added: "It's a pity that this time we only defeated the arrogance of the Qianniu Guards, but failed to bring down the King of Qin. The emperor is too partial. He is obviously the general of the twelve guards. We fought like this, so he should be punished for not ruling strictly. But the emperor didn't even say a word to blame him, and -"

Yu Wencheng gave him a cold look, and Su Changjing could only swallow the rest of his words.

The hall immediately fell silent, but it didn't last long. Yu Wencheng's sharp voice rang out, like a knife cutting through the tranquility, saying: "But no matter what, it finally muddied the waters."

"..."

"I just feel sorry for my sister-in-law. She has no idea what to do now and is still being stubborn, waiting for me to help them. Hahahaha."

Su Changjing also responded with a smile: "Yes."

As the son-in-law of Yu Dingxing, it seemed that he would naturally stand in the prince's camp, and it was not surprising that he had dealings with the King of Qi. However, the reason why he came here secretly today was actually because he had secretly connected with the King of Qi early on.

This was for no other reason. When he married Yu Mingzhu, he already knew that his wife and the Crown Princess were not on good terms. In this situation, if he really followed the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, he would probably suffer but gain nothing. After all, the Crown Princess Yu Mingyue was narrow-minded and loved to take revenge. As far as he knew, Lou Yingxiong and Lou Liangdi were both plotted against by Yu Mingyue.

She was able to act so recklessly and cut off her own arm before the crown prince ascended the throne. When the crown prince really ascends the throne, how will they survive?
We can only find another way out.

After laughing, Su Changjing said, "I wonder how Your Highness is going to contribute?"

Yuwen Cheng smiled faintly and told him his plan. Su Changjing nodded repeatedly, but then he gradually frowned and said, "But can this really cut off the King of Qin's way eastward?"

Yuwen Cheng said: "This is a plan to remove the firewood from under the cauldron."

"..."

"If such a good card is not used at this time, won't it just rot in your hands?"

Su Changjing nodded. In fact, Yuwen Cheng's strategy in this regard was indeed smart, but he was worried about another thing. After all, he secretly supported the King of Qi not to help him push the prince.

So he whispered: "But, if all obstacles are really cleared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then Your Royal Highness the Prince of Qi -"
