Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 313 Yellow Dragon

Chen Hongwu noticed his hesitation and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Cuo hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should tell him the news he had. "The news is quite shocking. I don't know whether I should tell my godfather, after all, this news is too dangerous and could easily implicate the Chen family."

"Not implicated now?" Chen Hongwu snorted coldly and snatched the note from his hand.

But when the words on the paper came into view, Chen Hongwu's eyes almost popped out!

"Fuck you..." he cursed and swore, as if he wanted to blurt out every swear word he knew in his life.

Yuan Cuo said quietly from the side, "This is not something I asked you to see."

"You're a really bad kid!" Chen Hongwu said angrily.

Yuan Cuo did not refute, but simply sat there, pondering carefully.

Chen Hongwu was getting impatient. "What do you plan to do?"

"I'm figuring out what he'll do and how he'll do it," Yuan Cuo said calmly.

Chen Hongwu reacted quickly, "Tell me first, who do you favor?" He was the governor of the southwest, not an ordinary commoner, and naturally he could see the ambition that Yuan Cuo had not yet revealed.

Yuan Cuo said very solemnly, "My heart is with all the people under heaven, do you believe me?"

"I don't believe you for a second!" Chen Hongwu rolled his eyes. If he weren't worried that Yuan Cuo's body couldn't take it, he would have loved to slap him to death!

"So you understand why His Majesty has always chosen you to guard the southwest. If not now, when? Even if we can't move, we have to go and see." Yuan Cuo grinned mischievously.

"did you mean?"

"Strike straight at the heart of the enemy."

Chen Hongwu did not act hastily. He looked at Yuan Cuo for a long time and asked, "Are you sure you don't want his princely title?" Princess Chen had already sent a letter by carrier pigeon to inform Chen Hongwu of the entanglement between the wife of Prince Chun and Yuan Cuo.

He didn't believe Yuan Cuo didn't know.

Just how deep is this kid's cunning? Even he couldn't fathom it.

Yuan Cuo said matter-of-factly, "If he insists on recognizing me, then everything he owns is mine, isn't it only natural for me to go and see what I have?"

Chen Hongwu: "..." I wonder who he inherited this shamelessness from.

"Go quietly?"

"Send the secret guards forward; do not send a single soldier."

Why are you specifically targeting him?

"I want to protect my wife and children, just in case."

Yuan Cuo turned around and summoned his secret guards, giving them instructions discreetly. He then wrote an urgent letter and sent it out.

"Aren't you going to send him to the capital?" Chen Hongwu asked, seeing that he had chosen a falcon to go to the State of Chu.

"Moon Maiden will surely be worried, I need to find someone to protect her." Yuan Cuo sent a letter straight to the border of Chu.

Liu Yuechu pondered how to contact Yuan Cuo, and kept thinking about it until she fell asleep, sleeping very soundly.

She had a beautiful dream. She dreamt of returning to Yuancuo, and she also dreamt that her child was born as a beautiful, pink-cheeked baby.

But dreams always have to end.

Seeing the cold ceiling, she reluctantly pulled the covers over her head, "I'm not getting up today, and nobody's going to wake me!"

"Master, Physician Sun is here..." Huajiao muttered by the bedside, "He's been here for an hour, just waiting for you to wake up and speak."

Yesterday, the palace was in complete chaos. Physician Sun must come and see for himself today; it would be reasonable if he came for at least several days.

Liu Yuechu coughed lightly twice; she had indeed made things difficult for him yesterday.

After a quick wash, Liu Yuechu didn't apply any makeup. She chose a comfortable robe to wrap herself in and then invited Physician Sun to come in and take her pulse.

Physician Sun sighed again and again, "You've really put me in a difficult position!"

He has a perfectly healthy body, fair and plump, and yet he fabricates some kind of illness. Isn't that ridiculous?

"Then should I put some yellow powder on my face? Or can you prescribe some sleeping pills so I can sleep for a few days straight? I don't want to see anyone anyway." Liu Yuechu was still unaware of Yuan Cuo's attitude and had no way to respond to Emperor Qi Xiao and Prince Chun.

“Prince Chun came to the Imperial Hospital early this morning and forced me to come. Moreover, he wants your detailed pulse diagnosis and prescription, which I cannot refuse.” Physician Sun shook his head helplessly. “It’s not that I can’t write it down, but if he finds other doctors to come, wouldn’t it be exposed as soon as they check?”

Liu Yuechu: "He can just come and go as he pleases? This is the Princess's residence!"

"Prince Chun has already sent people to tidy up his residence and has even arranged for a courtyard to be built for you to rest and recuperate during your pregnancy. Perhaps after it is built, you will be asked to move there." Doctor Sun quietly told Liu Yuechu the news he had heard that morning.

Liu Yuechu exploded instantly!

"What? I'll move there? Yuan Cuo might not be his biological son. Besides, even if he is, it's uncertain whether he'll acknowledge him. He's overestimating himself!" What kind of people are these!

“You don’t know the nature of this prince. He was already this domineering twenty years ago.”

The Sun family had served in the palace for generations and were very familiar with the character of the nobles in the palace. “When my father was the chief physician, he once took the pulse of the princess’s wife. She didn’t need to take the Eight Treasures Pill, but His Highness the Prince thought that she should take it. He went to the palace every day to force His Majesty to replace my father as chief physician. In the end, a doctor was chosen who agreed to let the princess take the Eight Treasures Pill.”

"But when the lady refused to take it, he stayed by her bedside for a day and a night until she was willing to swallow the Eight Treasures Pill."

"Isn't this just a madman?!" Liu Yuechu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"He's excessively paranoid; you'd better watch yourself." This was Dr. Sun's way of saying all this as a warning.

Liu Yuechu felt like the sky was falling. "Should I flee the capital to be safe?"

After seeing off Physician Sun, she began to think of a solution. "Didn't we agree to go to a temple in the suburbs of the capital after the palace banquet? Can we set off now?" She hurriedly ran to see Princess Chen.

Princess Chen looked resentful. "What do you mean 'leave'? We can't leave now. Prince Chun is really going too far. He even sent someone to deliver a note to me, telling me that I'm not allowed to take you out of the capital. Otherwise, he'll go wherever we go. He also said we're not allowed to go to temples or monasteries, or he'll go and demolish them!"

"How could the Princess Consort tolerate such an unreasonable and domineering person? I thought that after twenty years, he might have improved, but who knew that his temperament would become more and more abnormal! He's simply insane!" Princess Chen has always had a very good temper, so it's not easy for her to get angry.

Liu Yuechu: "...He made such a bold statement, doesn't the palace have any excuse?"

"What can the palace say? He found some people as witnesses today to prove that when the princess gave birth to the child, she handed him over to the Ministry of Works manager and his wife to raise, which angered His Majesty so much that he stormed off in court." Although Princess Chen knew she shouldn't laugh, the scene was still quite ridiculous to think about.

That was the imperial court of the Great Qi Dynasty! How could they discuss such a matter in front of all the mighty officials!

Liu Yuechu frowned. "What about Meng Changhuai? His Majesty just accepted it like that?"

“That person was probably executed long ago, and there’s no way he could have survived. Prince Chun foresaw that there would be no eyewitnesses from that time twenty years later, so he found some people to impersonate witnesses. His Majesty can’t do anything about it.” Princess Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

Liu Yuechu suddenly understood why Physician Sun had solemnly reminded her to be prepared. "Am I left with no choice but to surrender?"
