But just as Mei Qing had said before, she had done so much for Gu Ruobai. Even if they didn't consider her feelings, they should at least take her contributions into account. If they simply ignored all of Mei Qing's achievements and killed her directly, what would Gu Ruobai's other secret guards think of him?
Fear might be a good adhesive, but loyal subjects were the strongest fortresses. This was exactly why Su Mingyu had tried to let Mei Qing go time and time again.
Although she hadn't explicitly told Gu Ruobai about this, Su Mingyu believed that he should understand.
Sure enough, the next second, Gu Ruobai reined in his anger. "I know what you're thinking, but she shouldn't have targeted you."
Su Mingyu nodded. "I think so too. But it's already happened. Let's just let it go this time. Next time, I'll give her a good lesson."
Looking at Su Mingyu's nonchalant manner, a gentle look flashed in Gu Ruobai's eyes. "I heard that the King of Yu is also in the mansion?"
Su Mingyu gave a soft hum. "But I left him in the main hall. It doesn't seem proper for Wu Yurou to get married from our mansion, does it?"
"Father has already said that Wu Yurou can do as she pleases. So as long as she's willing, there's no problem."
Compared to Wu Yurou's marriage, Gu Ruobai seemed more concerned about the decoration of the mansion. "Wu Yurou doesn't want you to help with the decoration, does she?"
"You really know her well." Su Mingyu curled her lips and told Gu Ruobai about her conversation with the King of Yu and the others in the main hall.
Gu Ruobai lovingly ruffled Su Mingyu's hair. "It's my fault. I should have faced it with you."
"Come on. If you were there, Wu Yurou might have come up with even more ways to torture me." Su Mingyu heaved a long sigh.
It wasn't good that her man was too popular. There were simply too many admirers around, and it was really hard to deal with them.
The King of Yu and Wu Yurou didn't know what they had discussed. According to Zhizhu, the King of Yu didn't leave until it was almost time for dinner.
Princess Wu Yurou didn't even have dinner and went back to her own courtyard directly. Moreover, the two of them had directly set the wedding date, which was three days later.
Su Mingyu wasn't too surprised by this hasty date. After all, Wu Yurou and the King of Yu were just using each other, so they just wanted to complete the wedding ceremony as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected problems.
So Su Mingyu waved her hand and handed over the command of the Prince Ruixian's Mansion to Wu Yurou, allowing her to do whatever she wanted.
During this period, Su Mingyu kindly sent someone to check on Su Yueyue's situation. The news she got was that Su Yueyue was very calm. Since the King of Yu and Wu Yurou announced their marriage, Su Yueyue had been staying in her courtyard to take care of her pregnancy. She didn't cause any trouble and ignored everything.
Su Mingyu was a little surprised that Su Yueyue could be so calm this time.
But then she thought that Su Yueyue probably didn't dare to do anything until the child in her belly was born.
After all, she was relying on this child to turn things around, so it was understandable that her top priority was to protect her child.
Time flew by, and soon it was the wedding day of the King of Yu and Wu Yurou.
Since it was a marriage alliance and Wu Yurou was getting married from the Prince Ruixian's Mansion, the curious people surrounded the mansion tightly that day.
Looking at the crowd that was almost trampling on the threshold, Su Mingyu couldn't help but click her tongue. "These people are really desperate to watch the fun."
Gu Ruobai was sitting next to her, with a hint of vigilance in his dark eyes. "The more people there are, the more likely something will go wrong. Wu Yurou must get married from our mansion intact."
Su Mingyu knew this without Gu Ruobai having to say it. So she just whistled and stared intently at the surroundings.
It wasn't until the King of Yu came to pick up Wu Yurou, and Wu Yurou stepped over the brazier and successfully got into the carriage that Su Mingyu let out a long breath. "It seems that our Prince Ruixian's Mansion is safe."
Then, Su Mingyu spread her hands towards Gu Ruobai. "Let's go. Follow them. Anyway, you're a direct relative of the King of Yu. If you don't go at this time, you'll be drowned in people's spittle."
Hearing what she said, Gu Ruobai had no choice but to nod. "Let's go."
A long procession slowly moved forward in the marketplace of the capital, which made the onlookers open their eyes wide in surprise.
Everyone was talking about how the King of Yu had caused quite a stir when he married a concubine last time. Now that he was going to marry his main wife, this grand occasion was unprecedented in the capital for a hundred years.
It was obvious how important that princess was to the King of Yu.
Of course, not long ago, they had also witnessed a similar grand occasion when the Prince Ruixian got married.
If the King of Yu's wedding banquet this time could be described as extravagant, then the Prince Ruixian's wedding banquet last time was a heartfelt occasion that made all the girls in the capital envious.
Listening to the gossips around her, Su Mingyu's eyes were full of helplessness. She didn't expect that people in ancient times were so gossipy, and there were so many of them gossiping together.
Seeing the upturned corners of Su Mingyu's mouth, Gu Ruobai couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "I won't tell you."
There were countless people watching the fun in the marketplace of the capital. Su Mingyu and Gu Ruobai walked in the middle, chatting as they went. Fortunately, they managed to send Wu Yurou to the King of Yu's Mansion without any major problems.
After that, there was nothing for Su Mingyu and Gu Ruobai to do.
But what surprised Su Mingyu a little was that Su Yueyue didn't come out.
Su Yueyue could resist such a lively occasion. It seemed that she was really being very cautious.
Su Mingyu had just sat down when a maid from the King of Yu's Mansion quietly walked over and whispered something in her ear.
Su Mingyu nodded and turned to tell Gu Ruobai, "Su Yueyue wants me to go over. I guess she might have something to say. I'll go there first."
Gu Ruobai replied, "Be careful then."
Su Mingyu followed the maid all the way into the King of Yu's Mansion. But the deeper they went, the quieter it became, and the more vigilant Su Mingyu became.
Finally, at a corner, Su Mingyu stopped and looked coldly at the maid. "I've been to Su Yueyue's bedroom before. I don't remember there being such a path."
The maid froze for a moment, then suddenly turned around and stabbed at Su Mingyu's face with the shiny dagger in her hand.
Although Su Mingyu was a little caught off guard, her instinct as a special agent made her subconsciously step aside, barely dodging the maid's attack.
Before Su Mingyu could stand still, another maid sprang out from somewhere. She directly raised a puff of white dust and threw it in front of Su Mingyu. It was too late for Su Mingyu to hold her breath.
