Chapter 111 Experienced? You and your husband haven’t broken up completely?!…

When Chen Li came to pick up Wei Yan, he felt that the atmosphere between the two was not right.

He scratched his head, looked at Wei Yan, then at Yu Shuli, and asked carefully, “Did you quarrel?”

Yu Shuli glared at Chen Li unhappily: “Why did you bring him here?”

Wei Yan obediently leaned on Yu Shuli, blinking his eyes innocently, with no intention of speaking for Chen Li at all.

Seeing that he really didn’t help him explain, Chen Li cried out in anger: “Injustice! Prime Minister Wei wanted to come himself, how could I stop him?”

Yu Shuli waved his hand: “Okay, stop pretending. Take him back and treat him well. If anything happens to him, I’ll settle the score with you.”

Chen Li pouted and shouted grievances again.

Wei Yan watched the show for a while before straightening up. He hooked the corner of Yu Shuli’s clothes with his finger, looked at him leisurely, with reluctance in his eyes: “It’s almost dawn, I have to go.”

Yu Shuli gave an “um” and stopped him, saying: “Wei Yan… Cang Xu was caught by Wanyan Jun at the time, and later someone disguised himself as him to deceive us… Now… his safety is still not guaranteed…”

“Don’t worry, Cang Xu pretended to be captured, just to cooperate with Chen Li to rescue Emperor Zhao Wu.”

Yu Shuli breathed a sigh of relief: “So that’s how it is…”

Wei Yan rubbed his head gently with a gentle look: “You stay in the Palace alone, be careful. Chen Li will make the key when he goes back. At that time, whether you get the antidote or not, you have to go with him.”

Yu Shuli nodded and took his hand: “Then you have to take good care of yourself too.”

Chen Li was on the side, diligently reverse-engineering Yu Shuli’s chain lock, and glared at the two of them when he saw this: “You two are so sweet, I’m just a humble workhorse.”

Yu Shuli glared at him: “Hurry up and do your job!”

Wei Yan turned his head, smiled and looked at Chen Li: “Your older sister and brother-in-law asked me to bring you something, I’ll give it to you when I get back.”

As a sister-con, Chen Li could only touch his nose when he heard this, and finally made a gesture of sealing his mouth and turned around honestly.

Wei Yan turned to Yu Shuli and carefully instructed: “Whether it’s a fake marriage or you’re really forced to marry him, the key is to protect yourself no matter what. If you can’t, then be patient for a while, don’t resist stubbornly and hurt yourself.”

Yu Shuli laughed at him: “You were so jealous when I had nothing to do with him, if I really had something to do with him, wouldn’t you be pissed to death?”

Wei Yan shook his head: “Of course I will feel uncomfortable, but compared to your safety, these are nothing, so you must take care of yourself. As for everything else, I have it, you don’t need to charge forward.”

Yu Shuli nodded and asked, “When do you plan to attack the city?”

“Wanyan Jun’s abuse of Five Stone Powder has been publicly opposed by the Da Liang Chamber of Commerce, led by Luo Wenze. This matter has spread to the Xizhao territory, and the Xizhao business community is also in an uproar. Not only that, the Xizhao people are also uneasy, fearing that this thing will spread to their own territory. Now those vassal kings who were already watching the wind have long been shaken, and several who have military power are seeing the situation and have rebelled, waiting to take the throne. Wanyan Jun can’t hold on for too long.”

“Luo Wenze?”

“That’s Chen Li’s brother-in-law.”

Yu Shuli was surprised. He turned to look at Chen Li: “So your brother-in-law is the famous Luo Wenze!”

Chen Li was busy and said unhappily: “My older sister has a good character, good conditions, and is beautiful, so she can naturally get his favor.”

“But how could he be willing to wade into this muddy water?” Yu Shuli scratched his head, suddenly thought of something, and turned to Wei Yan in surprise: “Could it be that after you escaped from Wanyan Jun, you left quietly not long after returning to the army camp, just to see him?”

Wei Yan gave an “um”: “So don’t worry, Wanyan Jun is already under attack from both sides. The people’s hearts are like water, which can carry a boat or overturn it. After losing the hearts of the people, his throne has long been unstable.” As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed slightly, and some blood spilled from the corner of his mouth again.

Yu Shuli panicked.

Wei Yan shook his hand and comforted him: “Don’t worry, the poison has been suppressed a little, there will be no situation of dying in seven days. I’m just a little tired, it’s not a big deal. Now that I have you, I won’t let anything happen to myself.”

“After you go back, you must cooperate with the military doctor to treat your illness. You can’t be petty and refuse to take medicine anymore,” Yu Shuli said worriedly.

Wei Yan nodded.

After a while, Chen Li finally finished the reverse engineering. He glanced at the slightly rising sunlight and urged, “We have to go back.”

Yu Shuli sent the two away, turned around to face his empty bed, and fell silent again.

He slowly buried himself in the quilt, smelling the lingering bloody smell, and fell into a shallow sleep with the remaining aura of Wei Yan on it.

The next morning, Wanyan Jun did not appear, and the originally scheduled ceremony for crowning the Empress was silent.

Yu Shuli knew that Wanyan Jun had probably learned about the vassal kings’ rebellion and the public opinion, and was now busy dealing with these things in a mess.

But Wanyan Jun didn’t appear, so he lost the last chance to trick him into giving him the antidote. Therefore, by noon, others were still fine, but Yu Shuli was already a little anxious.

After today, the two sides will go to war. No matter how stupid Wanyan Jun is, it is impossible for him to give the antidote in order to get him. At that time, it will be useless to say more.

Therefore, he can only bet on this last day.

Yu Shuli opened the window and looked outside. He found that there were fewer people guarding and monitoring him at the door today. It seemed that Wanyan Jun was in no small trouble.

It was almost a fantasy to expect these people to think of it on their own, so Yu Shuli could only take the initiative to attack. However, the chains on his hands and feet were not enough to support him to walk out of the room, so he could only shout in the room.

The guarding soldier heard it, then came over to open the door, and frowned, “What are you yelling about?”

Yu Shuli glanced at the outside: “Didn’t you say that today is the ceremony for crowning the Empress? Half a day has passed, why is there no movement at all?”

“What’s the hurry? His Majesty has his own orders.” Those people looked Yu Shuli up and down: “You don’t look like you’re getting married, you’re unkempt.”

Yu Shuli glanced at his appearance, thinking that he had always been like this every time he got married?

He was too lazy to deal with everyone hypocritically. While trying to get information, he ridiculed again: “Is your Majesty’s ceremony for crowning the Empress so shabby? There isn’t even a person to serve, so it’s not like I have to dress myself up, right?”

“I didn’t expect you to look forward to this ceremony for crowning the Empress so much.”

Just as Yu Shuli was complaining, Wanyan Jun walked in, wearing an official uniform, one step at a time.

“The Ministry of Rites required a lot of etiquette, and it took some effort to go through the process, but it shouldn’t be too late now.”

Yu Shuli squinted at him and smiled: “Not too late? Are you sure?” Seeing the dense formation behind him, he knew that even though he was under attack from both sides, Wanyan Jun’s obsession with this ceremony for crowning the Empress was still true.

He rolled his eyes unhappily: “Why are you here?”

“If I don’t come, whose Empress will you be?” Wanyan Jun walked up to him, “Or do you think that Wei Yan can come to save you at this time?”

He smiled: “Give up your ridiculous fantasy, according to the time of the poison’s onset, Wei Yan is probably already starting to have internal organs rot. Don’t talk about saving you, he probably can’t even get out of bed.”

Yu Shuli ignored his nonsense: “Compared to Wei Yan’s situation, I’m more curious. This morning, the security in your Palace suddenly relaxed a lot, and even the remaining soldiers guarding me…” He pointed around: “They’re all gone a lot.”

He turned his eyes to Wanyan Jun: “Don’t tell me it’s because of today’s ceremony, so you gave them a holiday.” Giving a holiday and being forced to give a holiday are two different concepts.

The wedding of the Xizhao Emperor, it’s okay not to impose martial law, how could he give the attendants a holiday?

Unless all the attendants were transferred to more critical places, and he really didn’t have the energy to deal with the wedding banquet.

Wanyan Jun smiled abruptly: “You saw it?”

“It doesn’t matter if you saw it.” He waved his hand, signaling the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the matchmakers behind him to come over.

“The person is here. I’ll give you half an hour to clean him up.”

He seemed very busy and was about to leave immediately after giving the instructions.

“Wanyan Jun.” Yu Shuli called him to stop: “Now your situation has been exposed to me.” He smiled and said, “If you can only leave so few people to guard against me, then I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop me.”

Wanyan Jun was stunned: “Whatever.”

After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back, his eyes looking at Yu Shuli deeply: “You obediently cooperate with me to complete the ceremony. The antidote you want, I will give it to you after the ceremony.”

Wanyan Jun’s show of weakness came unreasonably, and a trace of surprise flashed in Yu Shuli’s eyes.

He was prepared for Wanyan Jun not to give the antidote. But at this juncture, he really didn’t need to lie to coax him.

But there was only the ceremony for crowning the Empress left, and Yu Shuli had already obtained Wei Yan’s permission and had no worries, so he smiled: “Okay.” He wanted to see what tricks Wanyan Jun could come up with.

After Wanyan Jun left, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the matchmakers walked up to Yu Shuli. “Your subject/slave greets the Empress…”

Yu Shuli curled his lips: “Don’t call me Empress… This title is so disgusting. Besides, I’m not the Empress yet. It’s against the etiquette for you to call me that.”

Yu Shuli glanced at the trembling matchmaker and turned his gaze back to the official of the Ministry of Rites in front of him.

Yu Shuli had a lot of dealings with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and knew that most of them would look down on him. But the expression of this Xizhao official was even colder and more indifferent than that of the Da Liang official.

After Wanyan Jun left, he swept Yu Shuli with great fanfare, with undisguised contempt in his eyes: “The dignified Duke Zhenguo of Da Liang, who got up in a disheveled manner, doesn’t even understand the etiquette and norms that a child knows, so what are you talking about etiquette. It’s all the virtue you accumulated in your previous life that allows you to be the Empress of Xizhao.” He rolled his eyes at Yu Shuli: “You were already lying under someone, but now you have a sense of shame?”

Yu Shuli was not afraid of him and immediately sneered and confronted him head-on: “You said it yourself, I am the Duke Zhenguo of Da Liang, so naturally I don’t understand your Xizhao etiquette. I’m talking about the Da Liang etiquette.”

The official of the Ministry of Rites’ face froze: “You’ve already married into Xizhao, so what Da Liang are you still talking about? Don’t you see, the outside world has already regarded you as a traitor to Da Liang!”

Yu Shuli gave an “oh” and was unmoved. “Then your Xizhao Emperor is still very capable, not afraid that I will be a traitor again in the future, tsk tsk…”

“You!… You’re shameless!”

Yu Shuli raised an eyebrow: “Not as shameless as you, an old man, scolding in public.”

The atmosphere on both sides was tense.

The matchmaker carefully interjected: “Sir… A lot of time has passed now, and we have limited time… Let’s dress up quickly…”

Yu Shuli waved his hand and looked at them meaningfully: “Don’t worry, there’s still time. I’m very experienced in this regard.”

When the people present heard this, they looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good.

Everyone could understand what “experienced” meant.

Not only was this Duke Zhenguo of Da Liang not getting married for the first time, but he was also shamelessly proud of it!

The official of the Ministry of Rites had a flushed face and looked very angry.

After all, a general who had been married twice in Da Liang suddenly married into their Xizhao to be the Empress, which would make anyone feel disgusted and uncomfortable.

“…You…you’re really…shameless!”

“I’m shameless?” Yu Shuli looked at him with his nostrils: “Where am I shameless?”

“You’re a man who has been married so many times, and you’re still bold enough to seduce our Emperor. What else is it if you’re not shameless?!”

Yu Shuli chuckled: “Why don’t you say that your Emperor is doing forced love and shamelessly seducing me?”

“You…you’re presumptuous!” The official of the Ministry of Rites blew his beard and glared.

But Yu Shuli had already started to leave: “Okay, I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you.”

He looked back: “Although according to our Da Liang rules, based on my limited experience, there’s still time. But in your Xizhao, that’s not necessarily the case. If you don’t hurry up, if it’s really too late, I’ll complain to Wanyan Jun, and then… I’ll chop off your heads.” He made a gesture of slitting his throat.

The official of the Ministry of Rites followed behind, his eyes, which were rounded by anger, stared fiercely, his eyeballs almost popping out of his sockets, and his gaze seemed to be able to cut Yu Shuli into thousands of pieces.

“Stop glaring with your dead fish eyes. No matter how much you glare, you can’t stop your Emperor’s thoughts.” Yu Shuli curled his lips: “If you can stop him, I’ll definitely thank you.”

“You’re really… glib-tongued, mean, and shameless!”

Yu Shuli gave a “tsk tsk” twice: “You only have these few words… How is it that your cultural attainments as officials of the Ministry of Rites are about the same as mine, a military officer?”

He smiled, “Oh? I want to ask, how does your Xizhao calculate the matter of royal remarriage?” He blinked innocently: “Let me say first, if remarriage is a crime, then go find your Emperor. He’s the one who wants to force me to marry him. This matter has nothing to do with me.”

The official of the Ministry of Rites choked with anger, but helplessly, he still gritted his teeth and asked: “What remarriage? You and your husband haven’t broken up completely?!”

“How can we break up completely? I already said, your Emperor snatched me away.” Yu Shuli shrugged. “Oh, I have more than one husband. When I was in Rongcheng earlier, I also had a concubine.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elderly official of the Ministry of Rites finally couldn’t stand the blow and fainted on the spot.

The people serving immediately panicked.

Yu Shuli laughed, and finally kindly reminded them: “There’s only less than half an hour left.”
