Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 204 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous General 12

After this meeting, Wenren Mo returned to the border with General Cao Yan.

Because the emperor detained the seventh prince of Fengyu Kingdom, Fengyu Kingdom sent envoys to negotiate peace with Longyuan Kingdom.

After Wenren Mo returned to the border, he escorted the envoys of Fengyu Kingdom back to the capital along the way.

Leng Yuexing was surprised to find that the envoy who came to Longyuan Kingdom this time was still the seventeenth prince, Yun Su.

However, Yun Su's demeanor suddenly changed. He used to be the carefree and unrestrained seventeenth prince, but now he has not only become much thinner, but his face is also covered with gloom, and his aura is cold.

“I thought that once you found the prince who had colluded with the enemy, you would stay away from politics. I didn’t expect you to come here this time.” Leng Yuexing placed the tea in her hand next to Yun Su and said.

Yun Su suddenly chuckled, "That's what I thought too."

"But do you know what? Not only did they not let me go, they even dared to harm my mother! They put a beauty curse on my mother!"

Yun Su slammed her fist on the table, her teeth clenched tightly, her face full of hatred.

"Beauty Gu?" Leng Yuexing asked in confusion.

"Those afflicted with the Beauty Gu will have increasingly smooth skin and become more and more beautiful. However, what follows is the gradual stiffening of the body until it can no longer move, and eventually starves to death. Their faces are exquisitely beautiful when they die, hence the name Beauty Gu," Wenren Mo said from the side.

"And the only way to remove the curse is to use the legendary Yin-Yang Grass," Yun Su added.

“Yin-Yang Grass… I’ve never heard of this herb before.” Leng Yuexing searched her memory but couldn’t find any information about it.

"The Yin-Yang herb grows on the border between the two countries. A hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, this herb completely disappeared. I found out that the last remaining Yin-Yang herb in the world is in the royal family of Longyuan Kingdom." Yun Su looked up at Leng Yuexing and said.

"So, you came here for this herb too?" Leng Yuexing asked.

"I should say I'm only here for this herb!"

"I hope you can help me obtain this herb from your father. I will do anything to get the Yin-Yang Grass!" Yun Su stared intently at Leng Yuexing, not missing a single expression on his face.

“I understand your desire to save your mother, and I will naturally help you,” Leng Yuexing affirmed.

"But what are you prepared to offer in exchange for this herb?"

Yun Su revealed a bloodthirsty smile, "How is the Seventh Prince's life?"

Leng Yuexing looked at him in surprise upon hearing this, "The death of the Seventh Prince will not benefit the Longyuan Kingdom at all. On the contrary, his life will bring some benefits."

"The Seventh Prince is dead. I am 80% confident that I can ascend the throne. At that time, I am willing to surrender the entire country!" Yun Su's eyes were full of coldness.

Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Su, and even Wenren Mo couldn't help but look at her with surprise.

Yun Su smiled self-deprecatingly, “Everyone outside says that I am the most favored prince of the Emperor. I have everything I want. Even if I make a mistake, the Emperor can’t bear to blame me. As long as my mother says a few nice words, he will forgive me.”

"I thought my father truly loved my mother, but through this incident, I've discovered that's not the case."

"After he learned that the last Yin-Yang Grass was in Longyuan Kingdom, he never mentioned saving my mother again. Even though I begged him repeatedly, he wouldn't budge. So, I had no choice but to come and beg him myself."

Yun Su stood up and bowed deeply to Leng Yuexing, "Third Prince, please help me!"

Leng Yuexing quickly helped Yun Su up, "Okay, I'll help you."

"I'll go see Father Emperor right away. Don't worry, I'll bring you the Yin-Yang Grass." After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, she got up and pulled Wenren Mo outside.

He stopped at the door. "You can take the Seventh Prince's life, but he cannot die within the borders of Longyuan Kingdom."

“Okay!” Yun Su replied happily.

After the two boarded the carriage, Wenren Mo pressed Leng Yuexing against the carriage wall and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so good to Yun Su?"

Leng Yuexing was completely confused. "How can you tell that I'm nice to him?"

“You just displeased the emperor, and now you want his rare herbs. Do you think he will give them to you? You would rather make the emperor angry than not get herbs for Yun Su. Isn’t that being good to him?” Wenren Mo looked at Leng Yuexing with deep eyes.

Leng Yuexing suddenly smiled and hooked his arm around Wenren Mo's neck. "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, this matter will not only not trouble Father, but he will also agree with it gladly."

"Why?" Wenren Mo asked, puzzled.

"Although the Yin-Yang Grass can cure the Beauty Gu, it only has this one function. Father probably doesn't even know that there is such a herb in the private treasury. If such a herb can be used to exchange for the possibility of Phoenix Feather Kingdom's surrender, Father will definitely not be stingy."

Leng Yuexing gently smoothed Wenren Mo's slightly furrowed brows. "So, don't worry."

Looking at the confidence in Leng Yuexing's eyes, Wenren Mo nodded reluctantly, "That's good then."

As soon as Wenren Mo finished speaking, the carriage stopped right at the main gate of the palace. Leng Yuexing jumped off the carriage, then turned to Wenren Mo and said, "Wait for me in the carriage. Once I get the herbs, I'll go with you to find Yun Su."

Wenren Mo nodded and then lowered the curtain on the carriage.

Not long after Leng Yuexing entered the palace, she came out carrying a long box.

After he got into the carriage, Wenren Mo held Leng Yuexing in his arms and examined him carefully. He found that there was no gloom on his face, so he knew that the quest for herbs had gone very smoothly.

"What did the Emperor say to you?" Wenren Mo asked, holding Leng Yuexing tightly.

"Father really doesn't know what Yin-Yang Grass is. I only mentioned what Yun Su said, and Father readily agreed."

Leng Yuexing opened the long box. "It took me and Steward Li a long time to find this box in the private treasury. It seems that it was originally given to Father Emperor by a minister, who said it was a rare herb, which is why Father Emperor put it in the private treasury."

Inside the box was a herb with two leaves, one red and one blue, the two leaves intertwined like spiky snakes.

"The shape is quite peculiar," Leng Yuexing said, looking at the herbs in the box.

Wenren Mo closed the box and then casually put it aside. "I'll deliver the herbs to the Seventeenth Prince in a bit. You wait for me in the carriage," Wenren Mo said firmly.

Leng Yuexing smiled, her bright fox-like eyes crinkling. "Alright, I'll wait for you in the carriage, otherwise I'm afraid the smell of vinegar will soak into the carriage."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Mo grabbed Leng Yuexing's chin and bit his lip. "As long as you do as I say, you can say whatever you want."

Leng Yuexing leaned back lazily into Wenren Mo's arms. "Go if you want. I'll just have some peace and quiet."

Wenren Mo held Leng Yuexing tightly, murmured "Mmm" softly, and then occasionally turned his head to kiss Leng Yuexing's cheek.

Leng Yuexing had grown accustomed to Wenren Mo's affection for him. It seemed that because the two had been separated when they were young, Wenren Mo had longed for him and always wanted to hold him in his arms.

After the carriage arrived at the embassy, ​​Wenren Mo reluctantly released Leng Yuexing and walked into the embassy with the box containing the Yin-Yang Grass.

At this moment, Yun Su was sitting anxiously waiting at the door. When he saw Wenren Mo come in with a box, he rushed to Wenren Mo's side and asked, "General Wenren, is this really Yin-Yang Grass? Did the Third Prince really get it for me?" Yun Su's voice trembled slightly.

Wenren Mo handed the box to Yun Su, "This is the Yin-Yang Grass you wanted."

Yun Su took the box and eagerly opened it. After seeing that the herbs inside were exactly the same as what he knew, he hugged the box and bowed deeply to Wenren Mo.

"Thank you, please convey my thanks to the Third Prince."

Wenren Mo turned away, then looked at Yun Su and said in a low voice, "I've given you the herbs. Don't bother Yuexing with unnecessary things in the future."

Yun Su looked up at Wenren Mo with an unfriendly expression. "General Wenren, my relationship with the Third Prince is very close. This has nothing to do with whether we are entangled or not, and it has nothing to do with you either."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Mo's face instantly darkened. "This is naturally related to me. I am in charge of receiving you, so I will not allow you to deliberately approach our country's Third Prince."

“I have no ill will toward the Third Prince, only admiration. Even if your emperor asks me about it, I will have something to say to him. Whether I pursue him or not is not up to you,” Yun Su retorted.

Wenren Mo swiftly drew his sword from his waist and held it to Yun Su's neck. He said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Yue Xing is not someone you can covet, because he is mine!"
