Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

My heart is pounding.

But Liu Rusi's face remained cold, and she said bluntly: "If you really cherish me, you should respect me. I don't want to be a gentle place that makes you lose your courage!"

Chu Shiyu was used to not getting the response he wanted, so he argued softly, "If I could take care of both, I would naturally not give it up, but going to the border means I have to part with you, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. I'm afraid that we will be separated forever."

Liu Rusi paused. War is certainly dangerous, but he originally had lofty ambitions and was not afraid of life and death. Was he afraid of death because of her?

"There will be hardships in achieving success."

This was what Chu Shiyu said at the palace banquet when she first entered the palace, and now it was used back at him...

Although he was used to her indifference, her indifferent attitude made Chu Shiyu feel a pang of pain in his heart.

I couldn't help but blurt out the question: "Aren't you afraid that I'll die? Or would it be just what you want if I died on the battlefield?"

Liu Rusi was stunned. Was he being unreasonable? But the anger and hurt in his eyes didn't seem fake... She softened her tone and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because you have been trying every possible way to stay away from me! It was you who arranged for the Grand Tutor to attend the palace banquet, right?!"

Chu Shiyu originally wanted to go back and slowly explore the matter, but the grievance in his heart at the moment made him eager to know the answer. Does she care about him in her heart, even if it is just a little bit...

Liu Rusi said in surprise: "The Grand Tutor is attending the palace banquet? What does this have to do with me? I don't even know him..."

If you only look at her expression and words, it seems that it really has nothing to do with her, but Chu Shiyu already knew that she was very good at disguising!

"You don't know him, but Yue Ziqian does! Zuo Yushi and the Grand Tutor are close friends regardless of age difference, and Zuo Yushi was once a student of the previous Prime Minister and a junior fellow of Yue Qianzhang! Yue Ziqian will be able to communicate with him, so he can naturally ask the Grand Tutor to come!"

Liu Rusi frowned and said, "The late Prime Minister Yue had many students all over the world. How can you assume that it was my arrangement just because Mr. Yue Ziqian might know him?"

Ruifeng's eyes contained a dangerous look, and Chu Shiyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "So Yue Ziqian acted on his own initiative?"

Liu Rusi paused. If this really happened to Yue Ziqian, Yue Ziqian would probably be in trouble!

She sternly rebuked him, "You are just making up a false accusation! If you want to accuse me, you must first produce evidence!"

"Evidence? You're the only one who wants me to keep my distance!" Chu Shiyu couldn't help but get furious.

"If it were the Emperor, Tang Zang and the others, they would just label you as an unforgivable evil, just like in the later 'Devil Woman in Trouble'! Why would they put you in the position of a victim and go to the trouble of explaining things to me?"

Liu Rusi was suddenly speechless. If Chu Shiyu was a judge, he would definitely be a worthless judge who would convict people based solely on motives without any evidence!

The problem is, he actually guessed it right!

It was indeed Yue Ziqian who suggested letting the tutor persuade Chu Shiyu, and she agreed at first. After all, whether he listened or not, it would not cause any actual harm to either party. What if he listened?

It was not until Chu Shiyu woke up from his fever dream and mentioned Yue Ziqian that she could see the hatred in his eyes that he tried hard to hide but still overflowed!

You know, Chu Shiyu is an unreasonable person!

Even if everything is going peacefully, they might target Yue Ziqian. What would happen if they were found to be secretly "hindering" him?

But she asked Lin Qingzhi to convey that she wanted to terminate the plan, but Yue Ziqian had already persuaded the Grand Tutor and it was too late to reverse the situation.

Once these people with lofty ideals agree on something, they will stick to their own opinions - in some cases, this can be called belief, and it is not up to the original people to withdraw their opinions... Yue Ziqian himself even said that he is not afraid to sacrifice his life for justice.

In addition, she suggested that they could appropriately criticize her for being "unfaithful to her husband" or something like that, so that it would seem that it had nothing to do with her, but Yue Ziqian, Lin Qingzhi, and Qin Hao all disagreed, believing that innocence was precious...

But she didn't expect that just this small flaw would allow Chu Shiyu to guess the truth!

"Let's not talk about that for now."

Liu Rusi said calmly: "Since you know me well enough, you should also understand that I hope you can focus more on your work, so I want to keep a distance from you."

Chu Shiyu was stunned. She tacitly acknowledged that it was her who did it, but she just lightly brushed it off as a matter of course, bringing the topic back to the starting point!

But even though he was extremely angry, Chu Shiyu could only let it go for now. Even if he investigated further, he couldn't do anything to her...

"What do you want me to do? Is it my main job to continue to be lured by the bait of the throne, to be led by my father by the nose, and to compete with them for power and profit?" Chu Shiyu asked bluntly. This is the most important contradiction between them at the moment.

"Cultivate oneself, govern the country and bring peace to the world. Regardless of whether the emperor's guidance method is wrong or not, this goal itself is noble!"

Liu Rusi said solemnly: "You have put a lot of effort into this, and many people have high hopes for you! Giving up halfway is irresponsible to others and yourself!"

"If I can have the best of both worlds, I will naturally not give up! But there are too many entanglements in Da Xia. If we don't break away from the constraints of our father, you and I are afraid that we will encounter many more troubles!"

Chu Shiyu said in a gentler tone: "If you just want my **, I can take you to Myanmar, and after taking that piece, we can expand the territory to the surrounding small countries, and we will establish another dynasty."

Hearing this, Liu Rusi couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body, and a bloody scene emerged in her mind - Chu Shiyu pointed to a piece of mountains and rivers and said, this is the country I built for you...

"Then may I ask, what is the difference between leading troops to fight in Daxia and going to Myanmar to expand territory? Isn't it the same to set the whole world on fire?"

"I can sit back and relax without having to separate from you."

Liu Rusi was speechless. After all, the key was to stick to her... After thinking for a while, she suggested: "How about I go to the northwest with you?"

"No! War is no joke!" Chu Shiyu sternly denied.

"Even if you're not on the front line, sitting in the tent and commanding is still full of dangers! In any war, they will try every means to behead the enemy commander! You will also be in danger if you follow me!"

Unlike the last time he went to provide disaster relief, if he had to go to the border to lead troops, Chu Shiyu would rather go alone!

After persuading him for a long time, Liu Rusi lost her patience and asked directly, "Chu Shiyu, what do you want me to do in order for you to take on this important task?"

However, Chu Shiyu looked sad, and his pair of phoenix eyes were a little absent-minded...

He whispered, "I told you, the battlefield is very dangerous, there are always people trying to assassinate the commander, you still want me to go..."

I don't think I want him to die... but...

"Don't you care about me at all?"

Ever since she agreed to consider it, he thought there was some truth to it... Turns out, it was really fake.
