Chapter 395: Battle for the Throne (Part 6)
Su Yu had some connections in the Capital City, but he always disliked interfering in political matters. Thus, whether in the Spirit Cultivation Realm or Nanyao Country, he did not have any forces at his disposal.
Therefore, even if it was him, tracking Prince An’s whereabouts at this time would require some effort.
"It seems they are ready to act. I will send someone to keep an eye on the Crown Prince. Besides..." Su Yaogeng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Yu: "Yun Peng, you should go to the Duke Wei Mansion! If Prince An really wants to mobilize the troops, only the Western Army can be mobilized the fastest."
Su Yaogeng knew that if she personally ****, the old matron wouldn’t dare lay a hand on her, but would threaten with her life within the mansion. Though calling it mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, ... in truth, they were really enemies.
No one in this world hated her more than the old matron.
If not for her, the old matron might still have two considerate and filial sons by her side. As a result, because of her, one went to the border for many years and caused chaos upon his return, and the other has never returned to the Duke Mansion since getting married and has not called her mother upon seeing the old matron.
So, regardless of her concerns, the old matron would absolutely not want to see her.
Su Yu nodded: "Hmm."
Su Yu first picked up Han Jing and went back to the Prince Yu Mansion, then went to the Duke Wei Mansion.
Han Si Que did not hesitate, for despite everything, he was still the head of the entire Duke Wei Mansion, bearing the weight of the entire family, and every decision had to be made carefully. Even though Su Yaogeng could no longer forgive him, in the eyes of outsiders, there was still an inexplicable connection between them. Additionally, his younger brother was the Prince Consort of the Eldest Princess, so the Crown Prince would never trust him. Therefore, once the Crown Prince acted to threaten the Capital City, he would certainly not spare the Duke Wei Mansion.
Having lost the woman he loved most, he could only continue in this position and guard his family now.
One wrong step leads to stumbling all the way; no one could turn back now.
Han Si Que agreed to mobilize troops, and once there was any movement from Prince An’s side, the Western Army would be immediately summoned to assist. However... the time it would take for him to come and go would be somewhat challenging.
Finally, Han Si Que handed over the talisman to mobilize the Western Army to Su Yu. With Su Yu’s status as a prince, as long as he brought the talisman to the Western Army camp to find his confidant, complemented by his personal letter, it would be enough to mobilize the Western Army.
However, this meant that Su Yu had to personally make a trip.
Su Yu returned to the mansion and told Han Jing about this matter. Han Jing was quite surprised at how agreeable Han Si Que was.
"But... it’s hard for you to personally make a trip." Han Jing felt somewhat apologetic. Originally, Su Yu did not have to get involved in these matters, but now it had reached the point where he had to handle things personally.
Su Yu didn’t mind this, but he only realized now that he was indeed... too lazy before.
Indeed, just too lazy.
As the chief disciple of the Spirit Flame Sect, the largest sect in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and the future Sect Leader, he always thought he didn’t need any extra forces; he just needed to wait in the leader’s position to represent the Spirit Flame Sect.
So... he was so lazy that he never engaged in things like making money, acquiring good things, and expanding alliances.
After all... his reputation in the Spirit Cultivation Realm was already good enough.
