In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1346 - 1344 Deliberate Arrangement

Chapter 1346: Chapter 1344 Deliberate Arrangement

Su Ke was dangling in mid-air, still livid with rage. He jostled and writhed against the hemp rope, looking as if he would fall into the oil pot below at any moment.

Yet, he seemed oblivious to his own peril as he furiously cursed.

"Damn you, Prince Wei! Unexpectedly, you are in league with Old Cheng too! You wasted His Majesty’s trust and nurturing all these years. How can you live up to the Emperor’s Grace he bestowed on you?"

"Uncle-in-law, what are you saying? Hehe..."

Prince Wei’s advancing footsteps halted, and he turned around to look at Su Ke with a face full of mockery.

"Since ancient times, victors are crowned and losers vilified. I was born into the Imperial Family, raised in the Imperial Palace, and I staunchly supported His Majesty’s ascension to the throne. What have I done to betray His Majesty? Perhaps you mean to say I, a mere Uncle-in-law, displeased you, and seeing you and Old Cheng having a good time, I shouldn’t intervene? Should His Majesty also intervene? Or is it that Lord Su, relying on the Empress’s support, regards No One with respect. You don’t even salute when you see me, which I could have let slide, but you go further and order me around. Where does this audacity come from?"

"You..."

Su Ke was furious, but quickly ceased struggling, "Indeed, worthy of being Prince Wei, your skill in distorting truth is truly sophisticated!"

A springlike, shallow smile still adorned Prince Wei’s face, "Lord Su needn’t be anxious. Once we’re in front of His Majesty and the Empress, there will still be time to discuss things properly!"

While he spoke, Prince Wei walked out, his voice continuing to reach Su Ke’s ears.

"Of course, that’s assuming Lord Su can still make it to see His Majesty and the Empress in one piece! Hahahaha..." His laughter soon drifted far away.

Su Ke’s body kept swinging in mid-air.

His gloomy eyes, lit by firelight, hid his facial expressions.

But he understood the implication of Prince Wei’s last words.

Judging from Old Cheng’s words and Prince Wei’s intention, his chances of escaping were slim to none.

As he wallowed in silent distress, a disturbance once again arose outside the small mansion.

Prince Wei’s arrival was sudden, but his grand entrance could hardly go unnoticed by those on the lookout in this desolate countryside.

Because of Prince Wei’s abrupt arrival, the men sent by Su Pan’er were successfully placed in position.

The two groups of men quickly clashed.

Su Pan’er, who was on her way, grew more solemn when she heard the news.

"Weren’t the orders to act only after receiving command? Who gave them the authority to act on their own accord?"

Cao Imperial Historian, who had just received the news, was equally embarrassed, "It seems they were discovered, which forced them to act earlier than planned."

Such an excuse made Su Pan’er’s face grow even darker, "Hurry up, we must rescue Lord Su! If this man is saved today, let it be, but if not... Humph! Be prepared for me to Settle Accounts after the Autumn Harvest!"

A bunch of incompetents – nothing but trouble!

"What are you standing around for? Speed up the march! If we’re not at that mansion within One Incense Stick’s Time, it’ll be Military Regulation!"

It was like urging everyone to sprint a hundred meters!

How could the crowd dare to delay? Almost as soon as the Empress’s command was issued, they sped on their horses towards the small mansion.

Su Pan’er’s pace was no slower than the others as she rushed to the mansion.

Cao Imperial Historian, who hurried to follow, reassured her, "Empress, there’s no need to worry. Although there was an unexpected incident, everything is still under our control, there won’t be a problem!"

"Is that so? Is that truly how Cao Imperial Historian sees it?"

Su Pan’er harshly whipped her horse, glanced back at Cao Imperial Historian, "No matter how meticulous the plan, didn’t it still go wrong? I’m not interested in the process, I want to see the result. I want Lord Su returned to me safe and sound, unharmed! Do you understand?"

"I understand," he replied.

Cao Imperial Historian spoke tersely, yet he couldn’t help slowing down a bit, suddenly finding himself left far behind by Su Pan’er.

Urgently, he quickened his pace to catch up.

Approaching the small residence, sounds of combat and screams intermittently reached them from afar.

The devotees at his side needed no further urging from Su Pan’er, as they plunged into the fray one after another.

When Cao Imperial Historian caught up with the horse ahead, he saw the Empress halted atop her mount, staring with furrowed brows in silence at the small residence engulfed in flames.

"Empress."

Cao Imperial Historian hurriedly urged his horse forward.

Su Pan’er suddenly turned to look at him, and in the light of the fire, Cao Imperial Historian could only see half of her face.

"Cao Imperial Historian, don’t you think that this rescue operation is proceeding unusually smoothly? So smoothly that it’s as if—it’s... "

As if someone had deliberately set up the whole scene!

Is this what you call unusual smoothness?

Cao Imperial Historian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling his face scorching hot, "Empress, Lord Su has been missing for almost four months, and everyone has been searching for Lord Su for three months. It is only recently that we have found traces of him..."

Think of the officials ahead who, upon learning that Lord Su had entered Deicide Mountain, spread out to search within it. They even went to the extent of sending a large number of people deep into Deicide Mountain to look for him.

In the end, they couldn’t find Lord Su, but instead provided the animals in Deicide Mountain with countless delicious "dishes" to feast on.

"That’s because you are inept, no one else is to blame!"

Su Pan’er was merciless in her reproach.

Leaving Cao Imperial Historian increasingly at a loss for words.

"Who—who would have thought that this person was, he was hiding right under our eyelids. The searchers didn’t notice anything... "

"Enough! Don’t make excuses for them anymore."

Su Pan’er, showing some impatience, cut him off before he could continue, gesturing with her hand, "Let’s go! Let’s go in and take a look!"

With that, she leapt down from her horse and charged straight into the burning residence.

Far off, ten miles away from the fire.

Prince Wei stood at the foot of the hill, silently staring at the distant blaze, remaining silent for a long time.

His Deputy General took two steps forward, "Your Highness, the lady has taken the medicine, and the potency has put her to sleep."

"Good, find a couple of maidservants to keep an eye on her, that way she won’t cause any trouble when she wakes up."

Prince Wei said approvingly, then turned to look at the mentor at his side, "By the way, have you passed the message on to the Ning Family?"

The mentor hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, please rest assured, everything is proceeding according to plan. The Ning Family has also received the message and must be taking action by now. There will be no problems."

"I am risking my head for this. How can I be at ease?"

Prince Wei sighed endlessly, "Forget it! Now that things have progressed this far, I can’t back out. Give the order that everything must go according to plan. If anyone dares to ruin my century-long scheme, I will annihilate them, and I will dig out their ancestors to whip their corpses!" By the end, his expression had turned utterly sinister.

The mentor shivered violently and repeatedly agreed before retreating to the side.

Secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

It seems that after all these years, he still hadn’t grasped the true nature of Prince Wei!
