Looking at Su Mingyu's somewhat meaningful look, Su Yueyue trembled as she took the paper. She looked at the address on it and was a bit confused. "What's this?"
"Aren't you always looking for your child?" Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "He's here. But I've sent people to inquire. It's a dark alley. Whether it's a baby boy or a baby girl sent there, they'll inevitably end up being sold."
"What!" Su Yueyue exploded instantly. She never thought that the King of Yu would be so cruel to her child.
Furious, Su Yueyue grabbed the paper and turned to leave. But just before going out, she still turned back and glanced at Su Mingyu. "You've always disliked me. Why are you helping me this time?"
"I'm not helping you. I'm helping myself." Su Mingyu said, pointing at her belly. "I don't want my child to be born without seeing his real father."
"Is it still possible for Gu Ruobai to come back?" Su Yueyue looked at Su Mingyu in disbelief. "He's committed such a serious crime. What method can you use to get him back?"
"That doesn't seem to be your concern. Just save your child properly." Su Mingyu made a gesture of invitation, signaling her to leave quickly.
Su Yueyue tightened her grip on the paper. Finally, as if making up her mind, she looked at Su Mingyu. "I owe you this time. If there's a chance in the future, I'll repay you."
"Don't bother repaying me. Just know that if you're caught by the King of Yu, your end will be no better than mine." Su Mingyu looked at Su Yueyue. Since things had come to this point, there was no need to hide anything.
Su Yueyue wasn't a stupid person, so she immediately understood what Su Mingyu meant. "I know. If I want to be with my child and avoid the King of Yu, I'll have to wait until the day he ascends the throne."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "I believe my sister is a smart person. She should know what the best choice is."
The King of Yu wouldn't keep the baby boy born to Su Yueyue to threaten Wu Yurou. But if his great cause was accomplished, he wouldn't care about such things.
After seeing Su Yueyue off, Su Mingyu let out a long sigh. She looked up at the beam, and Qi Yue was still carefully crouching on it.
"Alright, you should leave quickly. There are too many people here. If someone accidentally sees you, it'll be over."
Qi Yue carefully jumped down and scratched his head in confusion. "Master, why are we helping her?"
In his memory, Su Yueyue had always been a ruthless and unscrupulous woman. There was no need to help such a person.
"Maybe it's because I'm about to become a mother too." Su Mingyu sighed silently.
Su Yueyue really kept her promise. Since that day, she never appeared in the Prince Yu's Mansion again.
However, the King of Yu didn't seem to care much about this. It seemed that there were other things distracting him.
Although Su Mingyu really wanted to know what he was up to, due to his status, she never got any good information.
Until one day, Wu Yurou suddenly came to find Su Mingyu nervously. "The King of Yu is going to rebel!"
Looking at her panic, Su Mingyu seemed quite calm. "I've known this for a long time. What are you so panicked about? Isn't it because you've been supporting him behind the scenes that he's so bold?"
"I didn't!" Wu Yurou looked a bit pale with nervousness. "I admit that I married him to gain the emperor's recognition and help him ascend the throne. But I don't approve of his rebellious actions!"
Wu Yurou frowned. "We want to form an alliance with a peaceful country, not a country full of turmoil. If he really starts a rebellion, this country will be in turmoil for a long time, which is of no benefit to us."
Although Su Mingyu had long known that the King of Yu must have hidden his rebellion from Wu Yurou, after hearing her say this, she still pretended to be surprised. "So you didn't know? The King of Yu has said more than once in front of me that he thinks this is a good opportunity to prove his strength to you."
"If I knew, how could I not stop him?" Wu Yurou's voice involuntarily rose several decibels.
Su Mingyu glanced at the maid outside and made a gesture for Wu Yurou to be quiet. After she came to the door and closed it, Su Mingyu whispered, "It's no use for you to tell me these things here. You should understand that the only one who can stop him now is Gu Ruobai. But Gu Ruobai has been exiled to the wilds."
"Actually, I secretly sent people to look for Gu Ruobai, but for some reason, our people couldn't find any trace of him after they reached Cangzhou." Wu Yurou looked a bit anxious.
Su Mingyu naturally understood what she was anxious about. Wu Yurou came here for a peace - making marriage. She married the King of Yu just to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries. If the King of Yu succeeded, although it would cause turmoil between the two countries, there would still be some benefits.
But if he failed, not only her and the King of Yu but also her country might be resented by the emperor.
"I may have a way, but I need to know how many soldiers the King of Yu has, their combat ability, and the condition of their weapons."
Su Mingyu looked at Wu Yurou. "Things have come to this point. If the King of Yu can turn back from the precipice, there's still a glimmer of hope for the entire Prince Yu's Mansion. But if he remains stubborn, you have to be mentally prepared."
Wu Yurou folded her hands, looking a bit pale. "The things you want are top - secret. Do you think he'll give them to me easily?"
"That's what you have to do. All I'm saying is to contact him by any means necessary." Su Mingyu looked at Wu Yurou with a very determined look. "Wu Yurou, since you've come to me, I think you should also have thought it through. If you continue to follow him, your end won't be good."
Wu Yurou took a deep breath and then nodded. "Why are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you. I'm just helping myself." Su Mingyu looked at Wu Yurou seriously. "Gu Ruobai is the person I care about most, and what he cares about is the stability of the whole country. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked breaking his two legs to guard the border back then. Now that he's been exiled, I'll guard this country for him."
Wu Yurou was stunned. She thought Su Mingyu would say some sweet words of love. She never expected Su Mingyu to say such a just and noble thing. For a moment, Wu Yurou thought more highly of her.
