It was the person Su Jiu went to pick up.
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Su."
"Please come in, Third Prince." Su Jiu didn't say much, but took the Third Prince to the palace.
Just happened to live with the eldest prince of Lu.
When the Third Prince arrived, the First Prince's injuries had not yet healed. When he saw him coming, the First Prince stood up from his chair and asked, "Lu Yicheng, what are you doing here?"
The third prince Lu Yichen looked at the eldest prince's vigilant expression, frowned and said: "If it weren't for what my royal brother did here, I wouldn't want to come." He had been traveling for such a long time and hadn't even had time to rest before coming here. Now the eldest prince was still saying such things, which made him feel not very good.
"What?" The eldest prince was a little unresponsive for a moment.
"Father already knows what my brother did in Xuan Country. He also knows about the contracts signed between various countries and the purchase of high-yield grain varieties that only Lu Country does not have."
"At the same time, Father also knows why the State of Lu does not sell us high-yield grain seeds."

Hearing Lu Yicheng's words, the eldest prince's face changed, and he stared at his younger brother: "What is the purpose of your coming here?"
"Reach a 100-year contract and buy high-yield grain seeds."
Hearing the news brought by Lu Yicheng, the eldest prince frowned and was very dissatisfied: "Do you know what Su Yu's request is? How dare you say such a thing?"
Lu Yicheng looked at the eldest prince and said, "Of course I know. The request of the Jade King of Xuan Kingdom is to let the eldest brother take the cold poison for three months so that he can feel the pain. Then he will consider selling high-yield grain seeds."
"Oh, you said this so confidently. Can you definitely endure three months of pain? What is cold poison? You should know it even if I don't tell you. Lu Yichen, don't be so naive." The eldest prince said sarcastically.
Not only was Lu Yicheng not angry, he looked at the eldest prince and said, "My royal brother may have misunderstood. The person who has to bear this is not me, but you. This is what my father said in person. My father said that no matter what the price is, you must buy high-yield grain seeds."
"What did you say?" The eldest prince was shocked and looked at Lu Yichen in disbelief.
How is this possible
"This is impossible. How could my father do this to me? Did you make this decision on your own, Lu Yicheng?"
"Father is very dissatisfied with the fact that my eldest brother privately attacked the Jade Prince's son, so he made this decision. If my eldest brother doesn't believe it, this is the imperial edict from father to you." Lu Yichen took out the imperial edict and gave it to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was completely dumbfounded after reading it. This was indeed what his father meant.
He knew exactly how painful it was when the cold poison took effect. How could he be asked to bear it for three months now
"I won't agree to that."
"Your Majesty, it is not your turn to disagree on this matter. The people all know about what is happening here, and they are very excited now. If you fail to bring back high-yield grain seeds, they may rebel later. So I hope that your Majesty will put the overall situation first." Lu Yichen said calmly.
The eldest prince was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Lu Yicheng and said sarcastically, "The overall situation is important? Then how about you bear the pain this time? This is also the overall situation."
"The emperor's brother specifically asked for you, not me. What's more, it was the emperor's brother who did it, so it is natural for him to deal with this matter, not me." How could Lu Yichen help him bear such pain? He is not an idiot.
He still knew what cold poison was.
"If you can't do it, then don't be so pretentious here."
Seeing the eldest prince's disagreement, Lu Yicheng said unceremoniously, "Brother, do you want to disobey the order?"
Disobey the order
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you. I'm just reminding you that my father is already very angry about this matter. If you continue like this, you will definitely anger my father. You will definitely be punished when you return."
"Now my brother can only make amends for his mistakes. There is no other way."
Every word Lu Yichen said was for the eldest prince's consideration, but the eldest prince knew exactly what he wanted to do.
He stared at Lu Yicheng intently: "Are you very proud to see me in a dilemma?"
Lu Yicheng frowned and looked at the eldest prince: "What are you talking about, eldest brother? We are all thinking about the country of Lu. If it weren't for your mistake, we would have been able to get the high-yield grain seeds long ago."
It was all his own fault, what did it have to do with them
Hearing Lu Yichen say this, the eldest prince was extremely angry, but he had no way of doing anything to him.
Once you take action, you will only bring yourself unnecessary trouble.
"Brother, are you going to attack me?" Lu Yichen asked the eldest prince.

"How dare you do that when you have your father protecting you?"
Lu Yicheng pretended not to hear the sarcastic words. He looked at the eldest prince and said, "I have already told you what my father and I have told you. I have been traveling for so many days. I will go to rest first."
After saying this, he bowed and left to rest.
Back in the room, Lu Yichen sat on a chair and looked outside, in a very good mood.
"Master, will the eldest prince agree?" If he doesn't agree, won't that be troublesome
Do we really want the master to bear all this
"There's nothing we can do if he doesn't agree. After all, this is what our father wanted," Lu Yichen said with a smile.
Hearing this, the guards beside him fell silent. What the master said was right.
"When does the master plan to meet the emperor of Xuan Kingdom?"
"The day after tomorrow, take a rest tomorrow, and go the day after tomorrow." He was indeed a little tired. It would be better for him to have a good rest and go in the best condition before meeting the emperor of Xuan Kingdom.
The people beside him nodded in agreement: "Master, this is the right thing to do."
Two days before Lu Yichen arrived in the capital, Su Yu had already sent someone to sneak into the eldest prince's bedroom.
Su Yu soon found out what was happening here.
Su Yu was in a very good mood when she learned that the emperor of Lu asked the eldest prince to endure the cold poison for three months.
"Young Master, do you think the eldest prince will agree to this request?" If the eldest prince wanted to agree, he would have agreed long ago.
If I agreed then, I could earn myself a reputation, but what’s the point of agreeing now
Now, those who agree with Lu will only say that the eldest prince deserves it. Not only is no one grateful to him, but they also think that this is a matter of course.
Who would consider how much pain the eldest prince is in
"There's nothing we can do even if he disagrees. After all, this is the request of the Emperor of Lu, and he also asked Lu Yichen to deliver the imperial edict. If the eldest prince doesn't agree, could it be that he wants to disobey the order?" Su Yu said playfully.
I feel that the eldest prince is now in a dilemma.

Taking the cold poison would not bring him any benefits, but would make the Emperor of Lu even more dissatisfied with him.
