After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 181 Confessing to Prince Chu

At dawn the next day, a carriage drove out of Prince Qi's mansion and headed out of the city.

Outside the city, two thousand black-armored soldiers were ready to go.

Sitting in the carriage were Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang.

Ye Wuwei was not very comfortable even sitting down, let alone riding a horse, so Qi Wushuang accompanied him in the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Qi Wushuang held Ye Wuwei in his arms and sat on his lap.

"Wu Wei, it won't be like this every time from now on, right?"

"No, it's mainly because you're different there, so I suffered a bit. Normally, you'd get used to it after a few times, but it'll probably take more than a few times for the two of us."

That’s good, otherwise Qi Wushuang would really feel guilty.

Qi Wu, who was driving, listened to these vulgar words but could not understand anything.

Two days later, Ye Wuwei got out of the carriage and rode his horse.

Andu and Yingdu are adjacent to each other, and it took only two days to enter the territory of Yingdu.

As soon as you enter Yingdu, you will see grasslands and lakes.

"No wonder Taian longs to return to Yingdu. The grasslands and lakes of Yingdu alone are enough to make him linger."

It is winter now, but no one knows what kind of grass there is in Yingdu, as it still grows lushly even in winter.

The lake in Yingdu is as charming as Qinghai Lake, but it does not have as many tourists as Qinghai Lake. The sky is high, the lake is blue, and the air is pure.

Ye Wuwei was riding his horse across the grassland. The wind blew in his face, bringing with it the scent of green grass, making him feel refreshed.

This was the first time Ye Wuwei felt the joy of riding a horse.

Qi Wushuang also urged his horse to walk side by side with Ye Wuwei.

After enjoying the horse riding, Ye Wuwei slowed down the horse.

"Wushuang, are these grass horses edible?"

"No, the horse farm is further west. That's where they grow grass for horses."

"All along the way there are grasslands and lakes. Where do the Prince of Chu and his men live?"

"We are now in the northern part of Yingdu. The population of Yingdu is mainly concentrated in the south, and my uncle and his family also live in the southern part of Yingdu."

"Did your mother live in Yingdu before she married your father?"

"Well, I heard that she has loved riding horses here since she was a child."

Ye Wuwei thought to himself: No wonder he has developed such a naive character.

A day later they arrived at Yingdu City.

Compared with Andu City, Yingdu City is like a small county town with a small population.

Qi Wushuang ordered two thousand black-armored soldiers to garrison outside the city, and he took Ye Wuwei and Qi Wu into the city.

The Prince of Chu's Mansion is the most imposing building in Yingdu City, but it is inferior to the residence of the head of the Nie family, not to mention the Prince of Qi's Mansion.

But it is understandable. After all, Yingdu's economy is not much worse than Andu's.

Qi Wushuang's arrival surprised and delighted Prince Chu.

Although the Prince of Chu had received the news that Beidi was defeated and was negotiating peace with Qi Dynasty, he did not expect Qi Wushuang to come to Yingdu.

After sitting down in the main hall, Qi Wushuang said to the Prince of Chu:

"Uncle, I have something to tell you. Please ask them to leave."

Prince Chu asked everyone else to leave, and Qi Wushuang asked Qi Wu to guard the gate.

When there were only three people in the room, Qi Wushuang knelt down in front of Prince Chu.

The Prince of Chu was startled and quickly stood up to help Qi Wushuang: "What are you doing? You are shortening my life."

"Thanks to your teachings, I have come this far, but I am about to do something that will let down the Chu family and Tai'an."

When Qi Wushuang first arrived in Andu at the age of fifteen, the Prince of Chu personally took him in and taught him how to recruit troops, train soldiers, and march and fight.

If it weren't for Prince Chu's careful teaching, Qi Wushuang might not be where he is today.

"Whatever the matter, you stand up and speak, you are now the emperor."

With the help of Prince Chu, Qi Wushuang stood up.

After all, he was the emperor, and there was no reason for a king to kneel before his subjects. He knelt just now to express his gratitude for Prince Chu's teachings.

After Qi Wushuang sat down in the main seat, he said to the King of Chu:

"I have discussed with Fu Chi and Tai'an. I will make Tai'an a county marquis and all the troops in Yingdu will be under Tai'an's command."

Prince Chu was startled: "What about your engagement with Tai'an?"

"So I said I would do something that would let the Chu family and Tai'an down. I would use Tai'an's leadership of Yingdu as an excuse to cancel my engagement with her.

I will announce this news after I return to Chamdo this time.

And Taian will not be returning to Chamdo with us this time, he will stay in Yingdu directly."

"Wushuang, do you have someone you like? If so, you can take her as your concubine. Tai'an won't bother with you."

The Prince of Chu had a reason for saying this.

Qi Wushuang and Chu Taian have been engaged for many years, but there is no love between them at all.

Not only does Qi Wushuang have no interest in Chu Taian, but Chu Taian also feels the same way towards Qi Wushuang.

That's why Prince Chu had thought of entrusting Chu Yuyan to Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang said:

"Uncle, I do have someone I like. I will never get close to anyone else except him in this life. This is also the reason why Fu Chi and Tai An agreed to cancel the engagement."

At this point, Qi Wushuang said to Ye Wuwei: "Wuwei, meet your uncle."

Ye Wuwei stood up and walked in front of Prince Chu and bowed, "Uncle."

Prince Chu was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He was startled and asked, "You don't like him, do you?"

"The person I like is Wu Wei. There will be no one else in my life except him, regardless of gender."

Seeing Qi Wushuang admit it frankly, Prince Chu was speechless for a moment.

After a while, the Prince of Chu said:

"Wushuang, you two are both men, how can you continue the family line?

You must know that you are an emperor."

Ye Wuwei was a little surprised. He thought that Prince Chu would despise the relationship between two men, but he didn't expect that he was concerned about the most practical issue:

Heir!

"In history, not every emperor had his own heirs. There are precedents for adopting or passing the throne to relatives."

"But every time something like this happens, it causes turmoil in the court."

"Even if that's not the case, haven't the princes fought against each other for the throne? Hasn't that also led to wars?

Didn’t I become emperor by usurping the throne?”

"You are different, you are forced.

And you also have your father's will to succeed the throne."

"Whether it was my own initiative or forced upon me, regardless of whether there was a will from my father to pass on the throne, the fact is that I obtained this throne by usurping the throne.

The so-called loyalty to the king is just an excuse to the outside world. Don't you know that others don't know it?"

Qi Wushuang's words left Prince Chu speechless.

Ye Wuwei never knew that Qi Wushuang was so eloquent!

Was he improvising or had he thought about it over in his mind?

After a while, Prince Chu spoke again:

"I don't object to you being with him. You can have a son after all."

"Uncle, others don't understand feelings, don't you? After you met Chu Yuyan's biological mother, you never entered my aunt's room again. Why was that?"

Qi Wushuang's words completely shattered Prince Chu's desire to persuade him.

How could he not understand!

It was because he didn't handle his relationship problems properly that he made a huge mistake and caused tragedy!

Apart from the fact that he had no offspring, Wushuang's handling of the matter was much more straightforward and decisive than his own back then.

If he had been as decisive as Wushuang back then, would the outcome have been different?

In an instant, Prince Chu looked several years older.
