Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 452 Acting

"Besides, I noticed he was dressed thinly and didn't seem very healthy. I just thought he could do a lot for me, and even if he passed away early, I could still be a happy widow..."

"But I never expected that everything he did was a facade; he was actually healthier than me."

Although Liu Yuechu didn't mention having memories of her past life, she still told the truth.

Didn't she initially think that Yuan Cuo would die young? Could she really live a carefree life while running the Liu family business?

The Chu Emperor laughed heartily again, "If he heard this, he'd probably be so angry he'd make you have four or five more children!"

"Your Majesty, I am not a sow." Although Liu Yuechu respected the woman in front of her, for some reason, she did not speak stiffly in front of her, but rather very casually.

The Chu Emperor clicked his tongue. “I have no intention of forcing you to have a child. I just need you to agree to let me take one of my grandchildren with me.”

Liu Yuechu: "???"

"That's absolutely not possible."

"If you are unwilling, then I will have no choice but to forcibly take you back to Chu." The Chu Emperor looked at Liu Yuechu. "You know why I came to Daqi. You can't let me leave empty-handed."

"There's no need to bring a living person along, is there?!" Liu Yuechu hadn't expected the Chu Emperor to target her first.

"The one from Chu is hoping I'll die sooner, and he's even joined forces with Qin Muyan to try and kill me in Qi; while this biological son has repeatedly opposed me, and even helped his irresponsible father against me..."

"What do you think I should do? Why don't you give me a suggestion?"

Liu Yuechu: "..." What ideas could she possibly have? If she were that capable, she would have become an empress herself!

"You think too highly of me. I do have some experience in making money, but I know nothing about governing a country."

"I can teach you," the Chu Emperor said with a smile. "Even if I return and inherit the throne of Chu, I can appoint Yuan Cuo as a queen."

"Since he doesn't mind being a son-in-law, then let him be a son-in-law of the State of Chu."

"Moreover, the State of Chu is rich and vast, with abundant resources and thriving businesses. It also borders the three even more prosperous states, giving you a wider scope to manage things. It's worth a try." The Emperor of Chu looked at her very seriously.

Liu Yuechu: "...No wonder you were able to become an empress, the hypnotic drug you used was really too strong."

Her voice was already beautiful, and every word she uttered was a compliment. Not to mention men would be captivated by it, even she, a woman, was moved!

"Nonsense, I am speaking seriously, not trying to fool you." The Chu Emperor sighed. "Actually, I am really tired of being an emperor. If it weren't for a moment of anger, I would have liked to stay in this Great Qi and be a lazy, good-for-nothing lady, living a life of luxury and debauchery."

“Those days are truly the days I often reminisce about, for they were the happiest times I have ever experienced.”

……

Liu Yuechu looked at her intently; she was indeed reminiscing contentedly.

"So, your feelings for Prince Chun are genuine, and your feelings for His Majesty are also genuine?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I have given birth to a child?" The Chu Emperor did not deny it.

“Everyone says you stirred up trouble for the sake of the Chu Kingdom, and everyone even thinks that Prince Chun is not worth it,” Liu Yuechu said.

"Those people who only know how to continue their lineage, how could they understand my heart? They are only fit to bear children and live a muddled life." The Chu Emperor said this with utter disdain.

Clearly, those people were not worth a single coin in her eyes.

“So he doesn’t resemble His Majesty at all, he’s more like you.” Liu Yuechu was quite certain of this.

"So, if you like him, you will naturally like me too. How about you come with me to the State of Chu?" The Emperor of Chu began to coax him again.

“No, I can’t bear to part with my son and daughter, and I can’t bear to part with him even more.” Liu Yuechu shook her head vigorously. “Even if you are the Emperor of Chu, you can’t separate the four of us.”

“But I am also your family member, your mother-in-law.”

“But my husband doesn’t want to acknowledge you.”

"Of course I know, that's why I came to you. If you acknowledge it, he must acknowledge it."

What if he still doesn't admit it?

"I can only try taking you away. If he still refuses to come to Chu, then you will be the only one who can inherit the throne."

"..." A bad feeling welled up in Liu Yuechu's heart. "So, you're prepared to kidnap me and take me back to Chu right now?"

She thought of many things, many things that had not yet been accomplished.

It's like she hasn't hugged her two children yet, nor has she eaten another bowl of noodles cooked by Yuan Cuo.

She didn't miss her father that much, but she still had a lot of things to say to Liu Musheng and Liu Muchi, including Liu Yuechan's future, which she also wanted to arrange properly, as she hoped to see her get married.

In that instant, too many things came to mind.

"So, are you going to just follow along, or do I have to resort to force?" The Chu Emperor enjoyed teasing her, and he especially loved seeing her big, blinking eyes, full of innocent grievance.

"Don't tease me deliberately. You won't resort to violence and tie me up right now." She thought for a moment, realizing that this didn't seem to fit the Chu Emperor's style.

"Why?"

“Because you don’t want to leave any regrets, how can you leave without dealing with Consort Yu and Qin Muyan?” Liu Yuechu laughed after she understood. “Actually, you ran to Daqi to lure Chu Lan into making a mistake in Chu, giving you a reason and opportunity to get rid of him completely.”

"Hahahaha..." Emperor Chu suddenly laughed heartily, "You really are a clever little thing."

"So why don't you let me go back first? Besides, you're still young and will live to be a hundred. There's no need to choose a successor now." Liu Yuechu also started her flattering and praising style.

"Since you've already guessed it, why don't you join me in putting on a show?" Emperor Chu said with a meaningful smile.

Liu Yuechu hissed, "What kind of play are you going to put on? As long as you don't make me hurt the child, or hurt my husband and family, I'm willing to cooperate with you."

She has set a bottom line that cannot be crossed.

The bargaining began.

The Chu Emperor laughed and said, "Of course not, I have never wanted to harm outsiders."

"???" A very bad thought suddenly arose in Liu Yuechu's mind, "You're not going to hurt yourself and then frame me, are you?"

"What are you thinking about, little girl!" Emperor Chu couldn't help but pinch her little cheek.

Liu Yuechu let out a long sigh and rubbed her slightly sore face, but before she could finish her thought, she suddenly smelled a firewood scent, and the smell grew stronger and stronger.

"what happened?"

"on fire?"

She saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance, sweeping in with the rising wind.
