Bab 78: 78. Asking help from his in-law.
Yu Wang walked out of the palace after meeting his Imperial brother with a gloomy feeling. The prince just got a lot of advice from his Imperial Brother about how important it is to have a good relationship with his wife family members. Yu Fengyao never realized that as a husband, he should have a good relationship with his wife's side of the family.
Growing up, Yu Wang was only close to his Imperial Brother and also his Imperial Mother. He never tried to build close relationships with other people. Even the friends in his group were the ones who approached him from childhood. He never tried to build a good relationship with them. Listening to the advice from his Imperial Brother made him think deeply about his ability to be able to build good relationships in kinship with his wife's family. Maybe he should practice doing all that.
Yu Fengyao is a man who always takes action after deciding. After deciding to build a relationship with his wife's family members, Yu Fengyao sent Weishi-yi to invite Minister Su and meet him at the Meican Hall. The Prince also needs Minister Su's immediate help with Concubine Ming matters. The time for the tea party is creeping closer than before.
Su Yanjiu had just finished working and walked out of the education department building which is part of the administrative building complex that is within the scope of the Imperial Palace. Riding his horse carriage, Minister Su sat quietly reading a book as Weishi-yi got into the carriage to greet him. Frowning, Minister Su, who is accustomed to strict etiquette, looks like he doesn't like to see Weishi-yi's behaviour without permission to enter his horse carriage.
"This Minister doesn't realize that Yu Wang's subordinate doesn't have rules when it comes to meeting other people?"
Hearing the harsh words in the question directed at him, Weishi-yi's stiff face seemed to have turned slightly gloomy.
"Forgive this subordinate's fault for breaking inside without your permission, Minister Su. This one is forced to do it because this visit is something that needs to be kept secret from others."
"Oh, why is that?"
"This one was sent by Yu Wang because Yu Wang wanted to discuss something important related to the Emperor's secret matters."
Hearing that this had to do with the Emperor's secret matters, Minister Su had no problem with Weishi-yi's rudeness anymore.
"Lead the way, then."
Weishi-yi made Minister Su order his horse-coach to direct the horse-drawn carriage to the meeting place appointed by Yu Wang, which is; Meican Hall. After seeing that Minister Su's carriage was headed there, Weishi-yi emerged like a ghost from the horse carriage with ease.
"Looks like what Su Gaishan said is correct regarding the high abilities of Yu Wang's men. Weishi-yi is at least a Heaven Qi warrior."
The words that Minister Su said came from his ability to pay attention to the movements made by Weishi-yi, not because he had high martial arts skills. After the woman he loved died, Minister Su lost his martial arts skills which he practised before. Fortunately, all of his children had the opportunity to become cultivators, unlike him. They will be able to take better care of themselves.
"Wangye, this one has invited Minister Su."
"Good job, Weishi-yi."
Yu Wang waited patiently for Minister Su to arrive. From his outside look, all of Yu Wang's men see him like that, but actually, Yu Wang was feeling nervous inside. Remembering the pieces of advice from the Imperial Brother that he had to build a close relationship with his wife's immediate family members made Yu Fengyao nervous. He had never tried to do any of that before. While waiting, Yu Wang subconsciously finished the pot of tea on the table.
"Wangye, Minister Su has arrived."
With a jolt, Yu Wang tried to appear calm by pouring the empty teapot into his teacup. Seeing that no tea was flowing out, Yu Wang immediately ordered the waiter to make more tea. Rubbing his sharp nose with his index finger, Yu Wang invited his bodyguards to send Minister Su into the private room he used to use when he visited the Meican Hall.
"Yu Wang."
Minister Su bow to Yu Wang a little to show his perfect manner as minister to royal family members. Yu Wang saw that bow released the old man quickly from that. He was unwilling to receive the great respect of his elder in law. If his wife found out, she can be sad.
"Please sit down, Minister Su. This Prince has something that needs your help."
Yu Wang subconsciously spoke with authority and arrogance as usual when he spoke to the others. When he realized his mistake in treating Minister Su, Yu Fengyao glanced at Minister Su, who seemed to be accustomed to accepting Yu Wang's cold behaviour towards others.
Seeing Minister Su, who didn't seem irritated, was receiving the cold treatment from him, Yu Fengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Trying to soften his attitude, Yu Wang poured the refilled tea into an empty teacup and gave it to Minister Su who looked surprised to receive the treatment.
"What can this minister do to Yu Wang? This minister heard that this has something to do with the Emperor? "
Su Yanjiu tried to ignore the reason for Yu Wang's treatment which turned warmer to him. This old man was accustomed to placing more importance on the affairs of the Emperor than his own.
Hearing Minister Su's question, Yu Fengyao was a little reluctant to explain, but the Emperor had permitted him to cooperate with Su Yanjiu on the matter of Concubine Ming. Taking a deep breath, the prince began to explain Concubine Ming's scheme to the old man. The expression on Su Yanjiu's face who listened to Yu Wang's explanation looked increasingly gloomy.
"Don't worry, Yu Wang, this minister will try to find out about the maid helping Concubine Ming. In that case, this minister would not spend any longer here and would immediately find out about this woman. We don't have much time left until the Empress Dowager tea ceremony arrives."
Su Yanjiu immediately excused himself when he heard the importance of the information Yu Wang and the Emperor wanted from him. Minister Su did not know that he had left Yu Wang who was surprised to see his departure so quickly even though the prince had intended to try to establish a closer relationship with him which was his in-law.
