In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 348 No matter which way you go, this road is difficult

"Her Majesty Yueyao has already issued an order. The next task of the Imperial Guards is to guard this place and the Crown Prince's Mansion. I have asked my deputy general to mobilize the Imperial Guards here." Cui Yiyang said.

"How many of you are guarding outside?"

"There are patrols at the gate of the mansion and around the courtyard wall. Together with the eldest prince's mansion, there are probably more than a hundred people." Cui Yiyang said truthfully.

"The Fengyu Guards are guarding the house. How many people do they expect to have?" Su Yueyao asked.

"The number of Yueyao Fengyu Guards will only increase, not decrease. I'm afraid there will be people following you every day."

"And your majesty should also send people to guard in the dark."

"..."

After Su Yueyao heard this, her first reaction was to leave here. Was this to prevent herself from being harmed, or was she completely placed under house arrest?

"Yueyao, although there are more people around you, your actions are not restricted. It's just that when you go out, there will be more people in the dark and following you." Cui Yiyang explained.

"..."

"Will His Majesty ask the secret guards to get information?"

"Probably not. These secret guards will not enter the main courtyard. They are just protecting Yueyao's safety from a distance."

Su Yueyao curled her lips when she heard this. This was the only good news she heard today.

The road ahead for her was very difficult, as if she was forced into having only one option: marrying a husband, but she did not want to compromise.

"Yiyang, go and get busy!"

After Cui Yiyang glanced at Su Yueyao, he stood up, bowed and left.

"Ms. Su, I will discuss the marriage arrangements with my father when I get back. I will marry you no matter what happens." After Huan Yanxi finished speaking, he bowed and left.

After the two of them left, Xun Haoxuan said, "My dear wife, are you trying to avoid them by saying that you didn't finish your words?"

Su Yueyao came back to her senses and sat down again, then said to the remaining people, "You guys sit down too! Have you guessed what else I have to say?"

"If Ayao has explained everything, he will leave the study and personally escort Yiyang out of the house. You will even go to the courtyard to wait for the Imperial Guards and the Phoenix Feather Guards."

"I really can't hide anything from you, but what I'm about to say next, I'm not sure whether Yi Yang and the others will stand by us."

"Is my wife going to rebel against Your Majesty?" Lu Yuanjin exclaimed.

Suddenly everyone looked at him.

Lu Yuanyi slapped him, "How dare you say that? Don't worry about your own life, don't let your wife get hurt."

"Yuanjin's ideas are very advanced, but he shouldn't become a traitor now." Su Yueyao said as she looked at Lu Yuanjin rubbing his head.

Afterwards, Su Yueyao told Nanfeng what he had said.

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

"My dear wife, why don't you avoid me in these matters?" the eldest prince suddenly spoke up.

"Because in my opinion, Your Highness is reliable. I am willing to keep you here because I completely trust you."

"It's not that I don't trust Yiyang and Prince Huan, but their families are too loyal to Your Majesty. I dare not take risks, especially for you."

"My dear wife, if it really comes to that, please don't be soft-hearted because of me," said the eldest prince.

"It won't come to that. I never thought of hurting Your Majesty. I just don't want to be forced to become a tool for her to win over other families. What's more, I'm afraid that they will always want me to have a child." Su Yueyao said.

"And we still have to verify the truth of Nanfeng's words. Now we hold the initiative. If what Nanfeng said is true, it will not be easy to make the queen step down."

"Her Royal Highness is still too young. If we support her to take the throne, we must have an assistant minister. This choice is very important.

"Otherwise, the Queen's power might become weaker, and the aristocratic families might become more powerful. We will still be controlled by others then. Moreover, I think the methods used by some of the aristocratic families are not honorable," Su Yueyao analyzed.

"Ayao, you understand. No matter which way you go, this road will be difficult." Yang Qianxun said with a sigh.

"Yes! But if I don't fight back, I won't have any control over the future."

"If my wife wants to get out of this situation, the best way is to create chaos on the border of Fengluan Kingdom. His Majesty will have no time to take care of you, and we can leave smoothly." Xingchen said.

"No, if this happens, the people living on the border of Fengluan Kingdom will suffer, and once the war breaks out, all aspects will be affected." Su Yueyao said.

"What about threatening His Majesty with the defense map of the four border cities?"

After Xingchen finished speaking, everyone looked at him. They didn't expect that such a thing was in his hands. The city defense map concerns the lives of the people in the city!

"If this is the case, it would be a complete declaration of war with His Majesty."

"Well, my wife, this is the choice you have to make. The Queen is using you now. If you want the Queen to willingly give up this readily available benefit, you must have better bargaining chips, or force her to give up you." Xingchen said in a very cold tone.

"The Queen's power is limited to the noble families that support her. The Killing Pavilion can slowly defeat them one by one, but the speed is not fast."

"The Killing Pavilion will thoroughly investigate Nanfeng's affairs. After the Feng family was exiled by His Majesty, many of them were killed or injured, and there are very few members left. This is the latest news from the Killing Pavilion."

"I will send people to investigate the Nan family as soon as possible, and also find out whether the Crown Princess has any relationship with Nanfeng." Xingchen said.

Su Yueyao was stunned for a moment when she heard what Xingchen said. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. It seemed that Xingchen was really trying to help her deal with any troubles.

The city defense map must be very difficult to obtain. It is the last amulet for the Killing Pavilion and the imperial court to fight against each other. With it, even if His Majesty knows the power behind Xingchen, he will not easily do anything to them for the sake of the city defense map.

But for her sake, he gave such a valuable city defense map to His Majesty and threatened her!

In her heart she could never forget how he tortured her when they got married.

Although their relationship has eased now, her heart and her body are still subconsciously afraid of him.

She is not sure now whether she likes him in her heart. Sometimes she is afraid, but sometimes she wants to be close to him. She feels safe when he is around. This contradictory emotion makes her very upset sometimes.

But she didn't dare show it at all, because she was afraid that she and Xingchen would return to their previous situation.

She couldn't block Xingchen's angry attack, so she tried to force herself to accept him.

But every time she had to use his power, she felt uncomfortable and didn't know if it was guilt.

"Wife?" Xingchen looked at Su Yueyao who was staring at him motionlessly, with thoughts in her eyes that he couldn't understand. He always felt that he didn't like this kind of look very much.

"I'm a little tired. Let's first confirm whether what Nan Feng said is true or not!"

"And Xingchen, you prepare another place for us to exit Fengdu! Lingxiu Villa is where we are going openly, but in reality, we will not go when the day really comes." Su Yueyao said after coming back to her senses.

"I will arrange it. There are people in the Killing Pavilion who can disguise themselves. If we separate in advance, the Queen won't find out easily." Xingchen said again.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Xingchen."

"I'll go make arrangements first." Xingchen stood up, bowed, and left.

Su Yueyao kept watching Xingchen's leaving figure.

Several people were silent. They all understood the relationship between Su Yueyao and Xingchen, and they could guess it from her current behavior.
