Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chu Lan: "???" Does this woman even know what she's saying?

All his assets?

Does she even know how much money that would cost?!

Chu Yu Nu froze for a moment upon hearing Liu Yuechu's request, but then she burst into hearty laughter, laughing until tears streamed down her face. "You, you really are a money-grubber!"

"What? You want to take his fortune, exchange it for gold, and use it to fund your man to fight against me?"

"You've really got some serious ideas!"

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but purse her lips, "You were just saying that your word is law and that you agree to everything I ask for."

“If I agree, why shouldn’t I? I will not go back on my word.” Chu Yu Nu looked at Chu Lan. “Did you hear that? All of our assets, remember, all of them. If I see you hiding even a single copper coin, you know the consequences.”

Chu Lan: "..."

I've never seen an empress so indulgent towards her daughter-in-law!

"While selling off our property, don't forget to send troops to the border with the Great Qi. I want to see Qin Muyan and Yuan Cuo fight each other."

"The gold was all paid for by me. If we don't put on a spectacular show, wouldn't the ticket price be a waste?"

Upon hearing Emperor Chu's words, Chu Lan could only repeatedly apologize and retreat, quickly going to carry out the task.

Liu Yuechu hesitated, "Would he really do that?"

"Of course." Chu Yunu beckoned her to her side. "He knows all too well what it means to be worse than dead. Besides, I didn't take his life. He should be very grateful."

Liu Yuechu sighed at one point, realizing that she really couldn't keep up with the Chu Emperor's train of thought.

"Where's today's battle report? You haven't read it to me yet."

She missed Yuan Cuo somewhat, after all, she knew he was going mad. Although she felt a little secretly pleased knowing how much he valued her.

But deep down, Liu Yuechu didn't want more killing, after all, ordinary people's lives matter too.

She still longs for lasting peace.

Chu Yunu summoned her attendant and brought over the battle report, saying, "It wasn't me who wanted to start the war; it was your husband who wanted to fight."

"Wasn't this a trap you deliberately set for him? This is pure revenge." Liu Yuechu hadn't expected that the Chu Emperor had such extensive connections in Daqi that he could take her sightseeing and having fun without anyone noticing.

It was actually Old Madam Ye who led them away from the capital.

Because Emperor Chu promised Old Lady Ye that he would make Emperor Qi Xiao abdicate and stop occupying the throne without fulfilling his duties...

She kept every promise she made.

So Old Madam Ye agreed.

The Chu Emperor actually wanted to test his daughter-in-law's resilience, so he deliberately created some difficulties on the way.

But she hadn't expected that Liu Yuechu had such a thorough understanding of everyday matters and was so knowledgeable about them. And then she realized that Liu Yuechu came from a humble background as a merchant.

A woman of such background naturally understands the needs of ordinary people better. So after entering the State of Chu, she deliberately slowed down and took her to visit several important resource-rich areas, also to ask her for some advice.

However, Liu Yuechu did not pretend to be an expert. She would explain what she knew and ask Yuan Cuo for what she didn't know, since she had learned about many things from Yuan Cuo's travelogue.

However, Liu Yuechu was fascinated by the medical skills of the Chu Kingdom. Although the methods were rustic, they were more practical. If the medicinal materials of the Great Qi Kingdom could be integrated and used interchangeably with those of the Chu Kingdom, more people's injuries and illnesses could be cured.

"What good is revenge? Who told him to ignore me?" Compared to his son, the Chu Emperor admired his daughter-in-law more. "Don't forget, you made a bet with me that he would soon find out that I set this up. But so far, he is still insane and hasn't recovered from his breakdown."

“There are still many days left in a month, what’s the rush?” Liu Yuechu retorted.

"But there are only eight days left." The Chu Emperor had been counting down the days, even calculating the hours and minutes.

"Eight days is enough." Liu Yuechu rubbed her face and her slightly chubby belly from all the eating she'd done on the trip. "I feel like I've gained weight again after all this travel and exhaustion?"

Am I really pregnant again?

"What if we take the child back and Yuan Cuo doesn't approve?"

Liu Yuechu pondered to herself, enjoying the abundant and delicious fruits of Chu Kingdom, "You must stand up for me then. I am devoted to him, unlike you who flit from flower to flower."

The attendants beside the Chu Emperor were all handsome young men, incredibly brave.

These boys would occasionally serve as bedchamber attendants.

The Chu Emperor did not hide anything from her at all.

"Don't worry, whether he admits it or not, as long as I admit it, that's enough." The Chu Emperor said no more and summoned his attendants to massage his legs.

At this time, Qin Muyan finally received Chu Lan's reply. The Chu army arrived at the southern border of Daqi three days later and obeyed Qin Muyan's orders.

"That bastard is too cunning. If I hadn't threatened him to tell the truth, he really would have let it go!"

Qin Muyan was cursing when Wei Gongming pondered for a moment, "What if the Chu army just shows up and doesn't obey your orders at all? Your Highness, why don't we just let it go? With this fiefdom in the west, you can live quite well."

Wei Gongming spoke earnestly and very seriously.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Muyan contained both the reverence he had felt for their years of cooperation in their past life and the disappointment of his defeat in this life.

But at the last moment, he still hoped that Qin Muyan could be more clear-headed.

Because sending out these soldiers is tantamount to putting one's neck on the guillotine.

"At this point, you're still trying to persuade me? Wei Gongming, you've always been the bravest one, so why are you the most cowardly one now that we're at this juncture?!" Qin Muyan couldn't understand him for a moment.

Back when he was still in the capital, the first time he met Wei Gongming, Wei Gongming urged him to seize the position of Crown Prince, which terrified him so much that he thought the man had gone mad.

But Wei Gongming did not give up. He always believed that he could ascend to the throne. Even when he was given the cold shoulder, he did not hesitate to offer advice and suggestions, hoping that he could ascend to the throne of the Great Qi.

This is precisely why Qin Muyan values ​​him so highly.

But Wei Gongming at this moment did indeed disappoint him somewhat.

“It’s not that I’m cowardly, it’s just that I don’t trust the people of Chu.” Wei Gongming couldn’t help but reiterate, “I don’t think that the prince of Chu is so magnanimous as to be willing to send a large army to help Your Highness seize the throne, and that he didn’t even negotiate with you beforehand. Don’t you find that strange?”

"What's so strange about it?" Qin Muyan didn't think so. "Besides, things have already come to this point, and I have no way back."

"Actually, it's possible. If you give up, apologize to the palace, and say that it was Chu Lan who wanted to murder Emperor Chu..."

"It's too late." Qin Muyan didn't think there was any way to salvage the situation. "Don't say anything more. Either you accompany me in this gamble, or you leave quietly. You don't have to participate."

Does not participate?

Wei Gongming had already seen Qin Muyan's right sleeve move slightly.
