Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 478 Kidnapping

Yuan Cuo saw that his hands were trembling in panic, and his expression instantly turned cold.

Hou Lai trembled, wanting to tell the story, but unable to speak.

Liu Yuechu was so anxious that she snatched it away.

When she saw the words on it, she was shocked. "I have to go back! I must go back to Daqi immediately!"

Yuan Cuo also saw the handwriting on the report. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his men to prepare carriages and said, "Immediately suspend the four-nation alliance and send 30,000 Yan troops to attack Daqi."

"Contact Yuwen Chan and have him return to the Mongol Empire immediately to lead troops to surround the northeast."

"The State of Chu can remain untouched."

Yuan Cuo looked at the court officials who had come to greet him, "But if the State of Chu wants to help the State of Qi, then it will be making an enemy of me, Yuan Cuo."

The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what had happened. Moreover, Lady Liu was also leaving. How were they going to explain this to the Emperor of Chu?

"Your Majesty, please give us an explanation of what exactly happened, otherwise I will not be able to face Your Majesty. You know Your Majesty's temper, she really is..." The courtiers naturally could not say that the Chu Emperor had killed someone without saying a word.

After all, the person in front of her was her own son, so she couldn't just directly curse his mother.

Hou Lai knew that Yuan Cuo and Liu Yuechu couldn't bring themselves to say it, so he took the note to show Chu Chen.

Upon seeing the handwriting, the Chu court officials were shocked. "This is also His Majesty's bloodline, and the Chu army obeys the orders of the Yan army..."

Who would have thought that Qin Mushuo, the former crown prince of the Great Qi, was actually faking his madness? He took the opportunity to kidnap Yuan Cuo's two children, demanding that Emperor Qi Xiao give him the throne, or he would kill the two children.

How exactly he got close to the little buns and little dumplings is still unknown.

But the deed was done, and it touched the bottom line that Yuan Cuo could not afford to cross.

"If he dares to harm even a hair on my child's head, I will wipe out the entire royal family of the Great Qi, leaving no one alive!"

His words were quickly transformed into a message, strapped to the talons of a falcon, and sent straight to the imperial palace of the Great Qi.

At this moment, Emperor Qi Xiao also learned that Qin Mu Shuo was actually pretending to be crazy, and he was so angry that his hair stood on end!

"You unfilial son! This unfilial son! He actually deceived me! He actually dared to take advantage of my father-son relationship! I will tear him to pieces!"

Upon hearing the news, his hair stood on end. He had thought that the death of Qin Muyan was the end of it, but he never expected that Qin Mushuo had been hiding his true intentions so well.

"Go back! I must go back immediately!" He had no interest in discussing the four-nation alliance. The throne of Great Qi was about to be lost, so any alliance would be pointless!

“If you go back now, there will definitely be ambushes on the way.” The Chu Emperor was unusually calm when he heard this news. “Don’t you think about it? How can a crown prince who has been demoted to a prince get close to Yuan Cuo’s two children? How can he occupy the throne?”

Emperor Qi Xiao felt a chill run through him. He instantly thought of the remnants of the Left Chancellor's household, and even the Right Chancellor's household...

After Yuan Cuo left, he did not want to kill too many people, and with the Empress's personal intercession, he spared the Right Chancellor's residence.

But looking back now, the only thing he let go was the knife that was chasing and attacking him. He was utterly foolish!

"Then what can we do? I can't be a coward, those are my grandsons and granddaughters!" Emperor Qi Xiao admitted directly for the first time. In fact, he had more to consider, the most pressing issue being Yuan Cuo's anger.

“You must go back, but not so directly… You’ll probably need to create a maze, and see how many people who hate you to the bone you can be drawn out along the way.” Although the Chu Emperor offered his suggestion, he couldn’t resist a sarcastic remark.

Emperor Qi Xiao: "..." After all, he was an ally, so he could swallow his anger at this moment. "You have the most underhanded tricks. I will do as you say."

"Hahaha, you really trust me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you first?" The Chu Emperor laughed heartily.

"Your granddaughter and grandson have been kidnapped, and you can still laugh? You're heartless!" Emperor Qi Xiao couldn't help but retort.

"Whether I laugh or not, your deposed crown prince will not release the two children, so why can't I laugh? Only people from your Great Qi would be willing to deliberately wear that useless hypocrisy." The Chu Emperor sneered.

"Alright, get to the point. I'm also going to Daqi!" Yuwen Chan was used to holding those two little ones, who were his adopted sons and daughters. "Or I can go ahead and lead the troops to the capital of Daqi."

"Wait a moment..." The Chu Emperor summoned him and began to discuss how to divide the army into five routes to enter the capital and how to encircle and annihilate them.

After listening for a while, Emperor Qi Xiao looked at her in astonishment, "You're going too?"

"Why wouldn't I go? That's my grandson. I'll personally slit your deposed crown prince's throat." The Chu Emperor's slanted eyes revealed a sinister ruthlessness, sharp as a leopard. Even Yuwen Chan couldn't help but shudder. Indeed, capable women are not to be trifled with.

The State of Yan also received a message from Yuan Cuo.

They prepared together with the three emperors.

At this moment, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty was in complete chaos. Even ordinary people were not allowed to leave their houses, or they would be killed on sight.

The Golden Feather Guards who remained in the city were once again put under the command of Zhang Xinyan. He had been stripped of this position before, but he had never given up trying to make a comeback, secretly working like a hungry wolf in the shadows.

To save his life, Qin Mushuo had no choice but to feign madness. The Empress secured a princely title for him, allowing him to leave the palace. This enabled him to make contact with the outside world, gather the villains' forces, and win over the remaining rebels who had been spared.

But this was something the Empress had never expected.

She was trapped in Fukang Palace, along with the Crown Princess, Fang Ziqing, and their two children.

Huang Wanwan was also there, because that day was the day Fang Ziqing suggested it was Liu Zhong's birthday, and asked her to bring her two children to celebrate her maternal grandfather's birthday.

Huang Wanwan didn't think much of it and just listened, after all, she knew that there were many guards protecting the two children.

Moreover, going to celebrate the birthday of the painting master is not a big deal.

The problem was that she trusted Fang Ziqing too much and never expected that this was actually a scheme orchestrated by her and Qin Mushuo.

"You guys are being ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous!"

The Empress never expected that her son was faking his madness, and that he hadn't even told her the truth.

The princess was on the verge of tears, though she herself was unaware of the matter. Yet, her family remained bound to Qin Mushuo.

It's all or nothing.

"Actually, this concubine doesn't know why Your Highness did this, but Your Highness did it anyway. But honestly, would the Empress Dowager really be willing to give up the throne to an outsider with no blood relation?" Fang Ziqing glanced at the little bun and the little dumpling.

She admitted that she was jealous of Liu Yuechu.

She had this idea from the very beginning when she married into the palace as a concubine.

She was married to the Crown Prince and was his concubine. All she had to do was give birth to a child and she could rise to great heights and achieve great success.

Why should Liu Yuechu's two children take up such a wonderful day?!
