Chapter 103: Yao Ye
Chapter 103: Yao Ye
The sun rose in the east.
Su Yun looked at Xiao Yi Xian, who was still sleeping in his arms, and a smile crossed his face.
You still have a few years before you're an adult...
As if sensing Su Yun's gaze, Xiao Yi Xian slowly woke up.
"Brother, good morning~"
Su Yun leaned down and lightly touched Xiao Yi Xian's forehead.
A hint of shyness flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's face. Although their relationship had been confirmed, and they had already done many intimate things, she still felt a bit embarrassed.
The smile on Su Yun's face deepened. He liked Xiao Yi Xian's shy appearance. When he was tired, teasing her and seeing her reactions were quite healing.
Su Yun couldn't help but give her a few more kisses.
"Oh~ there's saliva all over my face."
Xiao Yi Xian's tone was full of disdain, but the blush on her face couldn't be hidden.
Su Yun pretended to want to kiss her again, but Xiao Yi Xian's petite hands pushed against his head.
"Brother!"
Xiao Yi Xian protested sweetly.
After a bit of playfulness, they finally got up.
After washing up and having breakfast, Su Yun took Hai Bodong to the imperial city, while Xiao Yi Xian went to visit Luo Qianyun.
Mu Chen's statement earlier was indeed correct. The Mu Family was deeply rooted in the military, and if he were to take action against them, Jia Xingtian, that old monster, would definitely not turn a blind eye.
Although Su Yun had no intentions toward the Jia Ma Empire, others might not see it that way.
Once suspicion arises, the charges are already established.
If he allied with the Miteer Family against the royal family, the threat to the royal position would be unimaginable.
"Kid, are you really sure you can persuade that old monster?"
Hai Bodong couldn't help but ask.
He was genuinely curious.
The Mu Family was deeply rooted in the Jia Ma Empire, and their relationship with the royal family had always been good. Without sufficient leverage, shaking the relationship between the two families wouldn't be so simple.
A meaningful smile hung on Su Yun's face.
"There are no permanent friends in this world. The reason why the royal family is willing to maintain a good relationship with the Mu Family is simply because they need the Mu Family's strength and influence in the military to protect the borders."
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong nodded, agreeing with Su Yun's reasoning. Indeed, that was the case.
If the Mu Family had no value, they wouldn't be valued by the royal family either.
Originally, the Mu Family was not that important to the royal family, especially since Nalan Jie was also a military bigwig.
However, everything changed after Nalan Yanran joined the Cloud Mist Sect.
Because of this incident, even though the Nalan Family still maintained a close relationship with the royal family, it would still make the royal family somewhat wary.
Moreover, since Nalan Yanran joined the Cloud Mist Sect, the attitude of the Nalan Family toward the royal family had become somewhat ambiguous.
This led to the royal family being more willing to win over the Mu Family.
A dangerous light flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
"Hai Bodong, rest assured, I have heavy leverage, and the royal family cannot refuse. No, to put it another way, Jia Xingtian cannot refuse. Whether it's for the sake of the royal family's consideration or for his own sake, he will agree."
Hai Bodong was a little puzzled, pursing his lips.
Always keeping him in suspense.
After a while, the two arrived at the imperial city.
Hai Bodong's aura was faintly revealed.
The guard at the gate's face changed. This aura...
A Dou Emperor powerhouse!
The guard put away his weapon and bowed.
"May I ask the two adults what business brings you to the imperial city?"
Hai Bodong's expression remained indifferent, showing no emotion.
"Send someone to announce that Master Zhang, a sixth-grade alchemist, and Hai Bodong are here to visit."
The guard was shocked, understanding the identities of the two, and quickly sent someone to announce.
Before long, a tall and elegant woman walked quickly towards them.
Su Yun's heart moved, and he used the scanning function of the system to understand the identity of the person in front of him.
Yao Ye!
Su Yun fixed his gaze, observing the cold beauty before him.
This future empress of the Jia Ma Empire exuded a cold and enchanting demeanor from head to toe, with a mature and full-bodied figure, coupled with a hint of heroic spirit.
To be honest, in the original work, the named supporting characters, one by one, are quite beautiful.
Yao Ye hurried over to where the two were standing, slightly out of breath.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. Why did these two suddenly come to visit?
Suppressing her doubts, Yao Ye greeted them.
"Master Zhang, Lord Ice Emperor."
Hai Bodong crossed his arms, nodding coldly.
Su Yun's face wore a formulaic smile.
"I've heard that Princess Yao Ye of the Jia Ma Empire is a great beauty. Today, seeing you in person, your reputation is well-deserved."
Su Yun praised sincerely.
Upon hearing Su Yun's compliment, Yao Ye's heart was filled with a hint of joy.
From childhood to adulthood, the young men of the capital had always praised her. She was immune to their sweet words.
Perhaps it was because of what Jia Xingtian had said that Yao Ye had developed some different thoughts about Su Yun.
Now, hearing Su Yun praise her appearance, she felt a different kind of emotion.
"Master Zhang is too kind."
Yao Ye tucked the strands of hair beside her face behind her ears.
"This is not the place to talk. Please follow me."
Yao Ye beckoned for the two to follow her into the palace.
Su Yun glanced around as they walked.
Hmm, the palace was indeed the palace.
Although the Miteer Family's villa was not bad, it was still a bit inferior to this place.
Of course, they had the financial resources to build such a place, but out of respect for their status and the royal family, they didn't dare to build it.
The three of them arrived at a luxurious room and took their seats.
Yao Ye personally made tea for the two.
After some polite exchanges, Yao Ye tentatively asked.
"I wonder if the two of you have come to our royal family today for some important matter?"
Although the question was directed at both of them, Yao Ye's gaze had been on Su Yun the whole time.
Based on the information obtained by the royal family, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong now looked up to Su Yun.
Su Yun smiled and did not answer Yao Ye's question.
"I wonder if Lord Jia is available now?"
Yao Ye was taken aback for a moment, then shocked. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
Although Yao Ye was young, as the heir carefully cultivated by the royal family, she was very aware of worldly affairs and some hidden meanings.
The implication of Master Zhang's words seemed to be... am I, Yao Ye, the next empress of the Jia Ma Empire, not qualified enough to discuss the topics he wants to talk about?
Yao Ye felt somewhat disgruntled in her heart, but also a hint of shock.
Her keen self-awareness told her that the matter Master Zhang wanted to discuss today was significant.
Despite this, Yao Ye couldn't help but say:
"Master Zhang, whatever you have to say, you can tell me. I still have some influence in the royal family."
Su Yun found it somewhat amusing.
Indeed, Princess Yao Ye, being wholeheartedly nurtured by the royal family, was indeed outstanding, but she was still too confident.
In this world, ultimately, only the strong have the power to speak.
At this point, Hai Bodong spoke up.
"Alright, call your grandfather over quickly. This matter is not something a little girl like you can decide."
Su Yun still wore a smile on his face as he refilled Yao Ye's empty teacup.
"Hai Bodong is always like this, Princess Yao Ye, please forgive him."
