Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 123 Dead

Yuan Cuo closed the book, and a cold and oppressive aura suddenly rose up, even the blooming flowers trembled and dimmed a bit.

"He dared to disrespect my woman, is it strange that I want to kill him? Before acting recklessly, one should always consider the consequences. This is a lesson he should learn in Daqi."

"Aren't you afraid that person will get angry?"

He would love for Mongolia to be in chaos.

After careful consideration, Hou Lai realized he couldn't really refute it, since only when the Mongol Empire was in chaos could the Great Qi Empire be more stable.

"Your strategies are so refined and masterful, wouldn't it be a waste not to try and get into that position?"

He didn't expect an answer, ate all the food in front of him until the bowls and plates were empty, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Cuo glanced at the book in his hand, and thought, "Should I rinse it off?"

He shook his head and started turning the page again. He was already a son-in-law living with his wife's family; what was there left to strive for...?

Liu Yuechu and Yuwen Chan's private conversation didn't last long.

Seemingly realizing how bad his situation was, Yuwen Chan stopped being coy and reached an agreement after a few rounds of conversation.

The Liu family supported his exoneration so that he could safely return to Mongolia. He provided the Liu family with Mongolian furs, and the Liu family did not need to pay any money; they could exchange them for cotton, hemp, grain, and other goods.

The two even swore an oath by the heavenly god of the Mongol kingdom and drafted a contract.

Liu Yuechu pressed her handprint with red mud, while Yuwen Chan pressed it with blood.

"I am very curious, why did you specifically choose to cooperate with me?" Yuwen Chan had a strong sense of conviction that he had been chosen.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, but it was in her eyes.

This unwavering determination made him feel comfortable and at ease.

He was like a wild grass growing in the palace of the Mongol Empire, when suddenly someone said that he was the best among medicines, unlike any other.

“Choosing someone doesn’t necessarily require a reason. I’m taking a gamble, and I just hope you won’t make me lose.” Liu Yuechu gave a vague and ambiguous reason. She couldn’t possibly tell him that she knew he was the future leader of the Meng Kingdom, could she?

But this vague explanation made Yuwen Chan's eyes gleam. "I swear on my life that I will never betray the contract I signed with you... but I must also remind you, your husband is no good!"

The conversation changed so quickly that Liu Yuechu didn't react for a moment.

"Why?" she asked, very curious.

“He wears too many masks; he’s a completely different person from the one in front of you. This kind of person is treacherous and cunning, extremely dangerous. He’s not worthy of you at all. You’d better be careful.” Yuwen Chan got angry just mentioning Yuan Cuo.

Thinking of his indifference when administering acupuncture and his hatred for the Mongols, Yuwen Chan felt a deep sense of horror.

That's why he risked escaping from that courtyard, never expecting that this person would actually be Liu Yuechu's husband!

How could such a gentle and beautiful woman marry a cunning and treacherous man?

Liu Yuechu was both amused and exasperated, but she didn't want to explain. "What my husband is like is none of your business, Your Highness. Whether he is worthy of me is none of your concern."

"Take good rest. Until I clear your name, you can stay here and recover. Yuechan is gentle and will take good care of you." Liu Yuechu left these words, picked up the contract, and left.

Yuwen Chan really wanted to call her over and have another doctor come and bandage her!

Before she could even speak, she saw Liu Yuechan watching her cautiously from the side. "I'm sorry, I will be very careful this time and I will be very gentle..." She hadn't expected that her first attempt yesterday would end up in such a terrible state.

Yuwen Chan closed his eyes, not wanting to utter a sound at all.

Another unbearable night...

The following morning, shocking news spread throughout the capital: Prince Yuwen Chen of the Meng Kingdom had died.

His death was very suspicious, as he died in the imperial palace of the Great Qi Dynasty.

When he died, two imperial physicians were by his side.

While threatening the imperial physician to prepare easier-to-take medicine for him, Yuwen Chen was also harassing the palace maids who served him, tearing off their clothes.

In just a short while, he suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain, convulsions in his lower body, and several screams and cries. He was then seen urinating blood continuously, which was completely unstoppable!

The terror of that moment was completely uncontrollable; before the imperial physician could even determine what was wrong, he breathed his last!

The imperial physicians panicked and immediately reported to their superiors.

The Crown Prince and Qin Muyan were also greatly surprised when they heard this news!

I thought I could find an opportunity to negotiate after a few days of rest, but suddenly Yuwen Chen died in Daqi, and in the palace no less!

The entire palace was shaken, and an investigation into Yuwen Chen's death was immediately launched.

The Mongolian envoy was also frantically demanding an explanation from the Great Qi, and had only been given ten days.

The investigation had been ongoing for nine days without any results.

It's not that they couldn't find a result, but that the result would be of no benefit to Daqi.

The Crown Prince and Qin Muyan were in a terrible predicament. If they didn't handle the situation clearly at this moment, they would have to bear the wrath of the Mongol Kingdom, which could very well lead to war between the two countries!

Especially Qin Muyan, after all, he was only the third prince. Even if his mother was favored, she was only a Noble Consort, not the Empress.

If he really weighed the pros and cons, he believed that his father would definitely choose to keep the crown prince and use him as a sacrifice... He resented Qin Yongshang's decision even more, because he only had one way out: death.

At this critical moment, Yuwen Chan suddenly appeared.

He not only appeared, but also uncovered the spies from the State of Chu.

A spy from the State of Chu learned that the States of Qi and the State of Meng were on friendly terms, and infiltrated the State of Qi to create a series of incidents in order to sow discord between the two states.

The envoy from Meng was unwilling to believe it, but Emperor Qi Xiao and the ministers of Da Qi were.

After all, by involving the State of Chu, could the State of Qi shirk all responsibility? Thus, the story was naturally fabricated.

A spy from the State of Chu assassinated Yuwen Chen and framed Yuwen Chan, hoping to start a war between the State of Qi and the State of Meng.

Yuwen Chan, with his wisdom and forbearance, persevered under all the pressure to investigate the truth and finally uncovered the conspiracy.

He also had a private talk with the Mongolian envoy, and in fact, he managed to change the envoy's mind with just one sentence.

"If my elder brother were to lose his life while causing trouble in the capital of Qi, and we were to fail to give the sect leader an explanation, who among you, me, and all the brothers of Meng would be able to save their own lives?"

The special envoy naturally understood just how ruthless the sect leader was, especially since Yuwen Chen was his most beloved son. Without a reasonable explanation, it would be impossible to convince him.

Even with a thousand questions in his mind, he could only obey Yuwen Chan's words and insist that Yuwen Chen was murdered by spies from the Chu Kingdom!

So, within a single day, all the wanted posters for Yuwen Chan in the capital were torn down, and he transformed himself into the only prince from the Mongol Kingdom to establish friendly relations with the Great Qi Kingdom.

The envoy and the Mongol guards had nowhere else to turn, so they naturally became subordinates of Yuwen Chan.

After all, it was necessary to bring Yuwen Chen's body back to Meng Kingdom as soon as possible. Yuwen Chan decided to return to Meng Kingdom quickly after discussing with the Crown Prince and Qin Muyan the next day.

Although the story is simple, Qin Mushuo and Qin Muyan felt as if they had rolled on a bed of nails, and they couldn't wait to send Yuwen Chan away.

On the day of Yuwen Chan's negotiations, all the officials and merchants of Daqi were present, except for Liu Yuechu.

Yuwen Chan looked at everyone one by one, and even asked Wei Tianxuan, confirming that Liu Yuechu would not be coming today.

"Why isn't Madam Liu here? She was the one who negotiated the terms with Xiao Wang." His bandages had been removed, and the crisscrossing scars were ugly and unsightly, making his handsome face appear even more ferocious.

In addition, he had secretly made a bet with Yuan Cuo before, but unexpectedly lost it again. He had to send an extra batch of horses from the Mongol Kingdom to the Liu family, which was like rubbing salt into his wounds!
