Remarrying Chun Yuan

Yuwen Chan and Liu Musheng were already completely drunk and had no brains to ask him what method he wanted to use.

Both Chu Yunu and Emperor Qi Xiao received invitations to the new ruler of Yan to ascend the throne.

Emperor Qi Xiao would naturally go, as the invitation detailed the important matter of discussing the four-nation alliance.

This time, he summoned the ministers of the six ministries for a private meeting, and the six of them made a rare appearance.

When the Chu Emperor received the invitation, he smiled with a complicated expression, "You guessed right. It's a waste of your brains to just be a businessman."

“I was hoping to stay home and live a life of leisure, but I haven’t been able to achieve that yet.” Liu Yuechu looked at the Chu Emperor with a smile. “So Your Majesty is planning to take me with you? I can be your advisor and help you secure more benefits for the Chu Kingdom.”

"Then guess whether I will let you go?" The Chu Emperor revealed a meaningful smile.

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but plead, "Just let me see him, okay? I promise you, I'll definitely go back to Chu with you, alright?"

"You miss him that much?"

"Yes," Liu Yuechu said with certainty. "And I miss the children too, but Daqi won't let them go, just like you won't let me go."

The Chu Emperor's expression immediately turned displeased. She disliked being mentioned alongside the Qi Emperor the most. "I cannot answer you for the time being. I also need to discuss this with my court officials. The alliance of the four kingdoms is not a trivial matter. There are too many details that need to be carefully considered."

Liu Yuechu sighed, looking rather forlorn.

In fact, the Chu Emperor's words meant that he would not take her with him. "I can only tell you that he looks down on the Zhao Kingdom. I will not get involved in other matters, lest you think I have leaked information. I will not participate in your discussions with the court officials."

Liu Yuechu deliberately avoided suspicion, knowing that this was a sensitive matter.

In the past, she accompanied the Chu Emperor to court to listen to government affairs, and the court officials accepted her, but things are different now.

The Chu Emperor liked her for being so sensible.

After five days of discussion, the Chu Emperor led her entourage to the Yan Kingdom, but before leaving, she specifically reserved the position of regent for Liu Yuechu.

"After I go to the Yan Kingdom, she will be in charge of all court affairs. Anyone who disobeys will be executed immediately."

She left with a bloody threat and strolled away leisurely.

Liu Yuechu: "???" What did she know about the matter of overseeing the country? She was hoping to take advantage of the Chu Emperor's trip to Yan to travel around Chu at her leisure!

With so many things to do, Liu Yuechu felt quite helpless.

She also began to calculate the expenses of the Chu Kingdom. Although it was richer than the Qi Kingdom, its expenses were still enormous, like water flowing away.

She really wants to cut back on expenses.

Their first target was the handsome male servants kept by their mother-in-law.

But if she dares to drive these people away, the first thing her mother-in-law does when she returns is to pinch her cheeks until they swell up.

Liu Yuechu put aside this idea and instead summoned his court officials to discuss establishing trade relations with the Great Qi.

Since an alliance was to be formed anyway, trade and commerce were naturally the top priority. She had long coveted the lacquerware and jewelry of Chu, which were far more exquisite than those of Daqi.

While Liu Yuechu was working diligently...

The State of Yan has now gathered four rulers.

Yuan Cuo only made a brief appearance on the day of their arrival, and then threw himself into his busy affairs, saying only that the terms of the alliance would be discussed after the enthronement ceremony.

Emperor Qi Xiao had nothing to say, after all, on the day he arrived, Yuan Cuo met with him privately and said that he would never abandon the Great Qi.

He also mentioned the trade between the four countries and offered generous terms, leaving Emperor Qi Xiao with no reason to refuse.

Yuwen Chan had already made it clear that there was no need to discuss it further. On the contrary, when the Chu Emperor arrived, Yuan Cuo led the envoys of the Yan Kingdom to greet him.

But this time, he stepped forward and faced the Chu Emperor face to face for the first time.

After a complicated process was completed, the Chu Emperor looked at him and said, "You haven't asked about Liu Yuechu at all in all this time. I thought that your wife was the most important person in your heart, but it seems that's not all that great after all."

“You have already handed over the power of regent to her, so I don’t seem to need to worry about her safety. I just need to wait for you to state your conditions.” Yuan Cuo maintained communication with Liu Yuechu and was naturally aware of the Chu Emperor’s actions.

"In fact, you might as well take advantage of these two days to leave my life in Yan, and then you won't have to offer any generous terms to form an alliance." When the Chu Emperor said this, he was looking at the Qi Xiao Emperor.

Emperor Qi Xiao felt a chill in his heart. What did she mean? Was she secretly trying to kill him as well?

"He doesn't seem to have the ruthlessness of the Chu Emperor. If it were you, you would definitely do the same." Emperor Qi Xiao was still holding a grudge about being deceived, and his tone sounded like that of a resentful woman.

The Chu Emperor coldly replied, "Likewise, I didn't kill my own son and brother."

Emperor Qi Xiao: "..." He really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topic. And why did she kill Prince Chun? Wasn't she partly to blame?

"If that's your attitude, then we'd better not talk about the alliance."

"Do you have the final say?" the Chu Emperor asked sullenly.

Emperor Qi Xiao: "..." What evil had he done back then to be so infatuated with such a sharp-tongued woman?

Emperor Qi Xiao snorted coldly and went back to rest first, not wanting to look at her again.

Yuan Cuo then had his envoys escort the Chu Emperor to her residence. He truly hadn't expected that these two would clash so fiercely when they came together, even having their own petty squabbles within the alliance.

Yuwen Chan naturally watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

Seeing that both emperors had left, he moved closer to Yuan Cuo and asked, "Are you really not leaving?"

Yuan Cuo: "??? Let's go? Where to?"

Yuwen Chan stared in disbelief. “Everyone says that you will take advantage of the Chu Emperor’s departure from Chu to snatch Liu Yuechu back, and that you will also bring your two children from Daqi to Yan.”

Yuan Cuo rubbed his temples. "Was that something Liu Musheng said?"

Yuwen Chan nodded repeatedly.

"It's one thing for him to be stupid, but Sect Master Yuwen is a fierce general who fights on horseback. Didn't you calculate how far it is from here to the Chu Kingdom?"

"Even at top speed, it would take three days to arrive. Even if I had the wings of an eagle, there's no way I could make a round trip in three days, snatch the person, and then return to attend the enthronement ceremony." Yuan Cuo really wanted to tear open his head to see if it was filled with cotton.

His face full of disgust made Yuwen Chan feel disgusted with himself as well. "Yeah, how did I get so confused by him? He spoke of this so earnestly, and I actually believed him?"

"Because all you see is that he's brainless." Yuan Cuo rolled his eyes in disdain and turned to leave.

Yuwen Chan stomped his feet in anger, wanting nothing more than to settle scores with Liu Musheng.

Yuan Cuo, hiding in the corner, watched him leave angrily and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You still don't have a brain. I can't return in three days, but I didn't say I wanted to come back..."
