The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 315: One Wave Has Not Settled Before Another Rises

Simply outrageous!

Even if the Emperor wanted to issue a decree for marriage, he would need to consult Su Yu first. Does Prince An think that Su Yu is someone who can be easily manipulated?

Seeing that arrogant old man really riles her up.

As a mother-in-law, she’s furious that her meticulously chosen son-in-law is being taken away. How could she not be angry?

Although it’s not easy for anyone to take away this son-in-law, Su Yu belongs to her Jing’er. What’s he thinking? If his daughter has the ability, let her fight for it herself. Why is he rushing to the Emperor, desperately asking for a decree?

Even when she asked her brother to decree a marriage between Jing’er and Su Xingyan, it was... ugh! How could that scoundrel Su Xingyan compare to Su Yu? If He Yanxin wanted Su Xingyan, she wouldn’t even need to speak up; she’d help get it done!

"So the Emperor didn’t agree to it, right?" An Chuxue was also speechless. Did the Emperor agree because the He family had rendered meritorious service?

"Would it matter if Brother agreed?" Su Yaogeng chuckled, "Brother hasn’t lost his mind. Merits belong to the He family, and Brother never shortchanged them. If it were anyone else, a prince of Brother’s, Brother might have reluctantly sent someone. But when it comes to Yun Peng, Brother can’t decide."

In this world, no one is born yet who can make decisions for Su Yu.

An Chuxue looked at Han Jing with sympathy, "Just when one wave settles, another arises!"

Han Jing, however, didn’t care, "She would need the ability to stir up this storm!"

"But," Han Jing asked Su Yaogeng, "now that several generals have returned to the Capital City, is something about to happen?"

It’s not that Han Jing is overly sensitive, but isn’t this all a bit too coincidental?

Before and after, the generals stationed at the borders have all returned to the Capital City. Is there anything amiss?

Su Yaogeng didn’t expect Han Jing to notice this, and sighed, "To call it a coincidence is indeed a coincidence, but there are other reasons as well. Since last year, Brother’s health has been deteriorating. This time, an incident happened on the way back from the autumn hunt in Liang Mountain. This Capital City is about to become unstable."

Every struggle for succession is a bloody storm.

Su Yaogeng didn’t originally want to meddle in this matter, nor did Su Yu probably want to get involved. After all, some matters have their own course, and it’s not up to them to intervene. But sometimes, things are such that you cannot stand idly by.

To say the Crown Prince has done no great wrongs, his biggest flaw is his lack of magnanimity. Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it’ll be fine for her and Su Yu—they could just leave the Capital City and not be involved. But now that Han Siqu has fled, abandoning this big family, she can’t ignore their life and death. Even if she has to leave, she must at least ensure their safety! Unfortunately, these past years, the Crown Prince has surely harbored grudges against her, fearing that as a Princess, she would interfere in state affairs for no reason. He’s likely to find a pretext to deal with her. She is, after all, the Princess of this Nanyao Country and couldn’t unleash chaos by killing the Crown Prince. But once the Crown Prince ascends, she might be able to escape, but the people related to her would be defenseless. That’s one point.

There are also two other people, who are pernicious threats to the Crown Prince. They are Su Yu and Su Xingqiao. Su Yu could easily extract himself from the situation. The reason he holds on to the title of Prince Yu is out of gratitude for Brother and the late Emperor’s care during his childhood. But Su Xingqiao, who holds military power and is still a Prince, would the Crown Prince possibly spare him after ascending?
