Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 300 Go quickly

Emperor Qi Xiao's words startled Cheng Hai, leaving him speechless.

His original intention was to have Emperor Qi Xiao summon Yuan Cuo back to inquire about him, but he did not expect that His Majesty would make such a big move and actually ask Prince Chun to meet with Yuan Cuo.

What is Your Majesty's opinion?

"We haven't seen each other for over twenty years, there's no need to provoke him." Emperor Qi Xiao awkwardly retracted his previous statement.

Cheng Hai breathed a sigh of relief. "Why not summon the young master of the Liu family and ask him about what's going on over there?" It's just Liu Musheng. If he's summoned to the palace to meet the emperor, he can get all the information he needs.

Even if they don't know Prince Chun's purpose, they can at least know everything that is happening in Yuancuo.

Emperor Qi Xiao thought this was excellent, "Then go and summon them."

"Now?"

By this time, the full moon had risen high in the sky, and the stars were scattered throughout the sky.

Emperor Qi Xiao responded lightly, "Such a round moon, it would be lonely for me to admire it alone."

Cheng Hai dared not say anything more and immediately ordered someone to go to the Prince Chen's residence to deliver a message.

By this time, Princess Chen's residence had already finished a round of meals amidst laughter and joy.

Lin Mengyu followed Lu Bingyang back to the mansion, and Liu Musheng offered to escort Huang Wanwan home.

Huang Wanwan smiled and agreed, which was also deliberately arranged by Princess Chen.

The princess was tired and went to rest first.

Only Chen Zhongyao and Liu Yuechu remained in the courtyard drinking tea.

Liu Yuechu naturally told Chen Zhongyao about it, "...Could it be that the actions in that place alarmed Prince Chun? Otherwise, why would he not return for more than 20 years and suddenly want to go back to the capital?"

Chen Zhongyao shook his head, unaware that he had not been summoned to the imperial study by Emperor Qi Xiao for a private discussion on this matter today.

"What would he do if he knew that Yuan Cuo was the child born to the wife of Prince Chun?" Liu Yuechu wondered.

"Given the current situation, His Majesty is unlikely to make it clear. Whether Prince Chun has other motives remains to be seen, depending on his actions in the capital. It's difficult to judge at the moment," Chen Zhongyao said.

"Has His Majesty agreed to let him return to the capital?"

"It's not decided yet, but they probably won't refuse."

"..." Liu Yuechu said listlessly, "My older brother came back today and talked about some things."

Chen Zhongyao only glanced at her before Liu Yuechu told him the whole story: "He wants money to make illegal constructions."

"Dangdang!"

Chen Zhongyao was so frightened that he swayed and sat down on the ground.

"What did you say? Has he gone mad?!" Chen Zhongyao, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but curse when he heard the news. At this moment, he wished he could dig up Yuan Cuo's ancestral grave to take a look!

"Moreover, my godfather knew about this and tacitly approved of it," Liu Yuechu added.

Chen Zhongyao: "..." This biological father has gone mad too.

"Why did they do this?" This was Chen Zhongyao's question.

Liu Yuechu shook her head, "Brother doesn't know, and I can't guess either. My husband wouldn't have let brother bring back such important news."

"Hurry up and send Liu Musheng back. We can't let him stay in the capital for long, or it will be very dangerous," Chen Zhongyao immediately declared.

Liu Yuechu thought the same thing. "I just urged him, but if he wants to take another batch of horses out of the capital, it will probably take another four or five days."

"Can't we leave tomorrow?" Chen Zhongyao said in frustration. "Why didn't you say this right away when I just got back?"

"I've been in front of my godmother the whole time, but I haven't found an opportunity," Liu Yuechu said innocently.

Chen Zhongyao's drunkenness completely dissipated. He had been feeling a bit sleepy, but now he wanted to wait until Liu Musheng returned before asking him anything.

But after waiting for a long time, Liu Musheng still didn't move.

"Could he go straight back to the Liu residence?" Chen Zhongyao asked.

"He just said that he would go back to the Princess's Mansion and even asked Xia Zhi to help him tidy up the guest room. He doesn't plan to go back to the Liu Mansion to live."

Almost everyone in the Liu family was at the Princess's residence, so Liu Musheng naturally didn't want to go back alone.

"Send someone to meet them," Chen Zhongyao immediately ordered.

But just as he was about to speak, a message came from outside the door, "Young Master Liu was summoned by His Majesty to admire the moon on his way back, and he specially sent someone back to tell you two masters not to worry..."

"?!!!"

Liu Yuechu felt a sharp pain in her stomach; she was truly terrified!

"Let's prepare for the worst. With that one loose tongue, he'll probably confess everything before His Majesty even asks him a question!" Chen Zhongyao slapped his forehead. There was no point in him going now; he could only wait for news from the palace.

Liu Musheng escorted Huang Wanwan home and received the beauty's promise to marry her after the mourning period ended.

Huang Wanwan had asked Liu Musheng if he was afraid, as her fierce reputation was now renowned throughout the capital.

Liu Musheng showered him with sweet words, even claiming he was willing to be beaten. The two exchanged saccharine words, seemingly sealing their fate in this life. He was happily heading back to sleep when he was intercepted and taken directly to the palace to accompany His Majesty in moon-viewing.

Liu Musheng was already terrified.

How could he possibly be in the mood to admire the moon?

He didn't care whether the moon was full or not; he just felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Emperor Qi Xiao was displeased to see his son trembling beside him. "I'm not a wolf or a tiger, why are you so afraid?"

"Your Majesty is blessed with good health and longevity, and your face is like that of a Bodhisattva. You are the pillar of the Great Qi. This is the first time I have been summoned by Your Majesty, and I am both nervous and happy." Although his words were sweet, his teeth were chattering.

His two front teeth were chattering and hurting a bit. He was just wondering, did Liu Yuechu have the guts of a tiger? How dare she act so recklessly in front of His Majesty? He was terrified!

Emperor Qi Xiao glanced at him, not in the mood for conversation. He only wanted to ask the most crucial question: "How are Yuan Cuo and Chen Hongwu doing over there?"

"Your Majesty, my brother-in-law is indeed very clever and hardworking. He dares not delay Your Majesty's orders at all and is busy day and night. But who is Chen Hongwu? I don't know him." Liu Musheng blurted out, dumbfounded.

Emperor Qi Xiao: "..."

"It's Governor-General Chen, who is also your godfather," Cheng Hai could only point out from the side.

Liu Musheng shook his head vigorously. "I don't know if my godfather is good or not, but I am very bad." He complained for a long time about his miserable life being treated like a donkey by Governor Chen. "Just to deliver a horse, he forced me to stay awake for three days, otherwise I would be beaten with military rods."

"Your Majesty is wise. I am not a soldier, but just an ordinary fat man. When have I ever suffered the torment of not sleeping for three days?!"

Emperor Qi Xiao couldn't help but rub his temples. How could Liu Zhong have given birth to such a useless child?!

But thinking about myself, I have quite a few useless sons and daughters, so I don't seem to have the face to criticize others.

"What did the Liu family do with all that money they took over there?" Emperor Qi Xiao asked this question while seemingly chatting amiably.

He had asked Liu Yuechu before, and Liu Yuechu vomited violently.

I don't believe Liu Musheng would also find an excuse to skip this exam question.

But Liu Musheng looked at Emperor Qi Xiao in surprise, "Your Majesty also knows about the lack of money?"
