Chapter 627 Su Heng wants to do what he wants to do.
Inside the Hibiscus Pavilion, Su Lingyue was massaging Xiao Yu's arm when Yan Qing walked in without a word, sat down at the table, and looked very distressed.
"What's wrong?" Su Lingyue asked.
"Sister A-Qing wrote a letter, saying that Prince Jing..."
Yan Qing was speaking when she suddenly remembered what Xiao Yu had told her, and she abruptly changed the subject, "Sister A-Qing said that Prince Jing received a secret letter from Consort Yi and is going back to the capital. We'll talk about everything after he returns."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, and the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes did not escape Yan Qing's notice. However, with the princess present, he needed to carefully consider every word he spoke.
Su Lingyue looked at Yan Qing, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly, and asked, "You've already reached an agreement, does he no longer want to be the crown prince and has changed his mind?"
Yan Qing shook her head. "Maybe."
Su Lingyue seemed unconcerned, "Then we can just bring Xiao Changyu back."
Hearing her words, Yan Qing looked up at her in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Su Lingyue asked, puzzled.
Yan Qing asked Xiao Yu, "Did the Prince tell the Princess?"
Xiao Yu composed himself and said calmly, "No."
Su Lingyue raised her little face, "I guessed!"
"If it's not Xiao Changshi, and it's not Xiao Chang'an, then the only one who can be the crown prince is Xiao Changyu. If it's her, I have no objection."
It's better than Xiao Changshi and Xiao Chang'an.
One is a wicked person, and the other has ulterior motives.
Xiao Yu looked at her with a faint smile on his face, "It's not the right time yet. If he comes back now, he will only become the target of everyone's criticism."
Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu, blinked, and asked, "So you're supporting Xiao Chang'an so he can be used as a target?"
"Ah."
No wonder.
Su Lingyue understood.
"Perhaps Xiao Chang'an has become suspicious and is trying to delay?"
Neither Xiao Yu nor Yan Qing answered.
They know it isn't.
Xiao Chang'an dragged his feet, unwilling to give the other half of the Spirit Fire Grass.
But if the item is in his hands, their actions will be restricted.
No one answered, so Su Lingyue quietly massaged Xiao Yu's arm without saying anything more.
After a long while, Xiao Yu said coldly, "Since he is unwilling to follow the agreement, then abandon him and proceed according to our own plan."
Yan Qing looked at Xiao Yu, her brows furrowed tightly, "But..."
If that's the case, what should Your Highness do?
Xiao Yu seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a cold tone, "Let A-Qing come back and spread the word that Prince Jing is going back to the capital. Let Su Heng do whatever he wants."
Su Lingyue roughly understood what Xiao Yu was going to do.
Xiao Chang'an's return to the capital at this time was clearly motivated by a desire to become the crown prince.
My father will definitely not let him return to Beijing safely.
But now the Crown Prince is in the Imperial Prison, and Chu Yin is being interrogated in the Ministry of Justice prison. If Chu Yin confesses, her father will be sentenced to death for treason.
How could his father possibly manage to deal with both the Ministry of Justice and Xiao Chang'an?
Although Yan Qing looked unwilling, she still did as Xiao Yu said.
Before leaving, Yan Qing said again, "Your Highness, Zhang Zhong also sent a letter this morning, saying that Li Yi is still stubbornly refusing to say anything. If this continues, once the Ministry of Justice finishes interrogating the spies and finds out that the theft at the Ministry of War was not the work of the Xiongnu spies, but just an ordinary theft, Li Yi may be released."
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Let him out. Su Heng needs him right now."
"what?"
Yan Qing looked at Xiao Yu with confusion, not understanding what he was thinking. Su Heng needed help, so he sent him one.
How can we deal with this?
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make, right?" Su Lingyue blinked, looked at Xiao Yu, and then at Yan Qing.
Xiao Yu turned his gaze to her and chuckled, "You understand me best, Yue'er."
"Your Highness, you were planning to play the long game and catch a big fish!"
Yan Qing knew Xiao Yu's thoughts, and her expression instantly relaxed. But then, remembering something, she put on a stern face and went out to make arrangements.

Only Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue remained in the room. Su Lingyue moved to a different spot, sitting at the foot of the bed, and massaged Xiao Yu's calves.
As she kneaded him, her clear eyes gazed at Xiao Yu, as if she wanted to say something, but said nothing, only looking at him.
Xiao Yu felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as she looked at him, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Little one, just ask whatever you want! Don't be afraid of holding it in."
Su Lingyue hugged Xiao Yu's feet, revealing a triumphant smile.
"When did Your Highness decide to make Xiao Changyu the Crown Prince?"
"At Longhua Temple."
"That time you two had a private conversation?"
"Ah."
Su Lingyue nodded, recalling the events of that day.
No wonder Xiao Yu looked so serious that day.
Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "I caused Su Nanxing to miscarry, and she questioned me about whether Xiao Changyu gave false testimony on the orders of the Prince?"
"Ah."
So that’s it!
This is indeed something Xiao Yu would do. Xiao Changyu, that fool, has a heart as blank as a sheet of paper. He would never lie unless someone persuaded him.
If Xiao Yu hadn't given instructions, even if the target was her, Xiao Changyu would at most stand by and watch, and then go back and recite the scriptures a few more times.
He is that kind of person.
If he were to become emperor, he certainly wouldn't be like the current emperors, who manipulate power and appoint treacherous people. He would be a good candidate.
but……
Su Lingyue asked anxiously, "Your Highness, have you forgotten something? A person with a disability cannot inherit the throne."
Xiao Changyu has a limp.
Xiao Yu looked at her, squinted and smiled: "Uncle Lu was away for a while, he went to Longhua Temple to treat his leg ailment, and now he should be able to walk again."
Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu, pouted and snorted softly, seemingly still not satisfied, and tickled the soles of Xiao Yu's feet with her small hands.
"You've been hiding everything from me, and you even say I know you? You're just lying to me!"
Whether it was the itch in his soles or a good mood, Xiao Yu leaned back on the soft pillow and smiled happily: "Little thing, I don't want those troublesome things to bother you, but you asked, have I been hiding anything from you?"
Su Lingyue shook her head.
Fine!
He was right; he answered all the questions I asked.
Hmph! I'm so smart, even if he doesn't tell me, I'll figure it out myself. I can just ask him later!
After calming herself down, Su Lingyue resumed her diligent work.
Xiao Yu leaned back on the soft pillow, looked at his little wife, and gradually closed his eyes to take a nap.

Inside the He residence, Grand Tutor He was discussing He Qianqian's marriage with his son He Wen when a rapid knocking came from outside.
"Father, something terrible has happened! There's trouble outside!"
The one speaking was Madam Xu, the second wife.
Grand Tutor He frowned.
Currently, Madam Xu is in charge of the household. Before her marriage, Madam Xu was very well-mannered at home. After marrying He Zhang, a rough and unruly man, she managed to keep him completely under her control. During this time in charge of the household, she has been even more adept at managing the household, and there have never been any major problems. Grand Tutor He has always praised this second daughter-in-law highly.
I wonder what major event could have caused Xu to be so panicked.
"Let her in," Grand Tutor He instructed his eldest son, He Wen.
As soon as the door opened, Madam Xu was taken aback when she saw He Wen, but then breathed a sigh of relief, "Big brother is here too, that's perfect."
After entering, Madam Xu first gave a deep curtsy to Grand Tutor He before saying, "Father-in-law, something has happened! The whole street is buzzing with rumors that my sister-in-law poisoned Wan Ning. Everyone knows it now. What should we do?"
