Chapter 341 I’m going home…

Qi Ze suspected that Chu Yian wanted to kill him, no kidding.

He took several steps back and looked at her warily: "What are you crazy about? You haven't told me what Marshal Ning said to you."

Chu Yian couldn't find the knife, so he rushed over and grabbed Qi Ze's neck and shook it hard: "Ahhh you damned bastard, where did you find a male companion for me? Why did you ask Hua Chen to come?"

"How many surprises do you have that I don't know about? You'd better tell me all at once."

"Don't you even check the background of someone before sending him to me? If he had disliked me before and killed me, wouldn't that be just what you wanted?"

"You bastard, you really have bad intentions!"

Qi Ze rolled his eyes at her pinching, pushed her away, and held onto the table while coughing: "Water, give me water."

Chu Yian: ...

Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu ignored Qi Ze and their eyes fell on Chu Yian.

Qin Huaishu didn't know Hua Chen, but Qin Sheng did. There was obvious surprise in his eyes: "You mean, the person you went to see today was Hua Chen?"

Chu Yian nodded, relaxed and sat down at the table.

Seeing Qi Ze drinking water nearby, he got angry and kicked him again.

Qi Ze: ...

Qi Ze also felt aggrieved: "I didn't ask Hua Chen to come here."

Facing Chu Yian's distrustful look, he hurriedly said: "There were so many people who collected male favorites for you. After they searched, they would send them to me."

"I've asked around, and they all said the person they sent here has a clean background and is absolutely fine. Who knows..."

Who knew Hua Chen would sneak in.

Especially since Hua Chen had such a face, it was obvious that he was born to do this kind of job.

Even if you know that his background is not that clean, you are reluctant to let him go and will automatically ignore any imperfections.

Now that something almost happened, Qi Ze felt a little scared.

Fortunately, Hua Chen didn’t do anything to Chu Yian, otherwise how would he explain to Qin Sheng and the Qin family?

Qin Huaishu felt a little headache. She thought that Qin Sheng was the only one who kept a male lover for her. She never expected that so many people were collecting handsome men for her.

Suddenly, he was glad that Chu Yian didn't set his sights on him and Qin Rang...

"Did he say anything to you?"

Chu Yian shook his head: "He didn't say anything. His status in Ningguo must be very high. Even the marshal has to listen to him. I suggest you investigate in this direction."

There was nothing she could do anyway.

Chu Yian got up and left, going back to sleep.

Ningguo had already withdrawn its troops, and the part of the troops that were heading south to attack Yuzhou went directly to a further south and went to the south of Ningguo to quell the rebellion.

Chu Yian and Qi Ze stayed in Shuozhou for another three days and said goodbye after three days.

Qin Sheng, Qi Ze and Qin Huaishu all put a lot of effort into investigating Hua Chen's origins and past.

Qi Ze wrote a letter and sent it to the capital, asking Chang Wenrui, who had sent Hua Chen here, where he found Hua Chen.

The idiot Chang Wenrui wrote back saying that when he was searching for handsome men, this person showed up in the building where the handsome men were being selected.

However, Hua Chen looked a little nervous at the time, as if he was on guard against someone. He probably entered the building by mistake.

But this man was so outstanding in appearance that he didn't care whether Hua Chen's identity was problematic or not. He just thought that sending him over would definitely win Chu Yian's heart.

So he went straight over and asked him if he was here to make a living. Hua Chen hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded and said yes.

Then it was packed and sent to Qi Ze, and then Qi Ze sent it to Chu Yian.

Qi Ze was feeling upset at that time. When he saw Hua Chen, he had completely immersed himself in his new identity. He was so seductive that even men couldn't resist him.

Apart from the overly good-looking face and the seductive skills that seemed to have been deliberately trained, which caught Qi Ze's attention, nothing else made Qi Ze suspicious.

When Qi Ze saw Chang Wenrui's reply, he took a deep breath and was so angry that he almost cursed.

Knowing that Huachen had problems, he still sent it to him...

But apart from this, Dashun could not find any information about Hua Chen.

Qin Huaishu sent people to Ningguo to investigate.

Since Hua Chen's status is not low, he will definitely show up sooner or later.

Qin Huaishu didn't have to wait too long. After retreating from Shuoguan, the Ningguo army returned directly to the Ningguo capital, Chengyang.

Then, they actually surrounded Chengyang.

Ningguo fell into a brief internal strife.

Everyone knows that Emperor Ningguo came to power illegitimately and that he killed his father and brother to sit in his current position, but no one dares to question it.

After all, all of the late emperor’s sons had been killed, and the only one left was the one sitting above.

That person has a cruel personality and won't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about him.

On the day when Chengyang was besieged, Marshal Ningguo, who was on the expedition to Shuoguan, was accused of being a traitor. However, the former crown prince who was said to have been dead for a long time appeared beside him and took out the secret decree of the late emperor.

When Qi Ze saw the news, he felt terrible.

Turning his head to look at Chu Yian, he twitched his lips and said stubbornly, "You've made it big. The Prince of Ningguo used to be your male favorite. If you tell others about it, it will be a big deal."

Chu Yian slapped him on the forehead, furious: "Do you dare to blow it out?"

Ningguo's national strength was originally stronger than Dashun's. By the time the news reached their ears, the situation in Ningguo had already subsided.

Emperor Ningguo, the Third Prince who seized power, was charged with multiple crimes and sentenced to be torn apart by chariots. He was executed with the whole city watching, and his body was thrown into a mass grave.

Hua Chen, no, the former Crown Prince of Ningguo resigned and ascended the throne to become emperor. The first thing he did after taking office was to invite back those demoted senior officials and stopped the construction of many palaces.

If the fact that the emperor of a country had been a male concubine were to be spread out, Chu Yian would not know how many heads he would have to chop off.

Who in Ningguo, from top to bottom, could tolerate such a dishonorable act? They would probably rush over and kill her.

Especially Dashun is no match for Ningguo.

It’s best to keep this matter to yourself. Life is more important. Chu Yian doesn’t dare to brag about it anyway.

Qi Ze was slapped, but he didn't dare to refute Chu Yian's words.

Compared with Gu Ci, the Prince of Ningguo and the current Emperor of Ningguo, he is really far inferior.

Qi Ze knew that his father intended to pass the position to him, which invisibly increased his pressure.

Gu Ci knew how to endure and yield, and he went through life and death twists and turns to reach his current position, allowing the throne to return to orthodoxy.

But he seemed to know nothing. When he was in Shengjing, he just dealt with the matters at hand. After coming out, he saw the suffering of the people, but he did not come up with any useful strategy for governing the country.

He still acts willfully and recklessly, and he lacks the character, responsibility, and ability that a prince should have.

Seeing that Qi Ze was a little anxious, Chu Yian could only comfort him: "Take your time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You still have a long way to go."

"Be humble and calm down. I believe in you."

Qi Ze was deeply moved, tears welling up in his eyes: "Sister..."

Chu Yian's forehead veins popped out, and he slapped him on the forehead: "Don't push your luck."

Qi Ze became obedient.

The two traveled through the remaining half of the country and returned to Shengjing in the spring of the following year.

When she returned, many sisters in Shengjing came out to greet her. Chu Yian hugged one and that, feeling very satisfied.

The Qin family also came to pick her up. When she returned to the Zhenbei Palace, she saw the newly planted peach seedlings in the yard, which had already grown tender green leaves. Her eyes lit up.

Qin Sheng not only planted peach trees in Fuhua Courtyard, but also throughout the Zhenbei Palace.

When these saplings grow up, the flowers bloom in spring and the garden is filled with fragrance.

Chu Yian was very happy and looked at Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng also looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "You came back too late. I was afraid of missing the good time to plant trees, so I didn't wait for you."

Chu Yian didn't care. These saplings were full of vitality, completely different from the lifeless peach trees she had planted before. They were a joy to look at.

Although he returned to Shengjing, Chu Yian did not give himself much time to rest.

She came back with things to do.

This time I saw too much suffering among the people. I met many orphans without parents who lived by begging. They survived the spring, summer and autumn, but were frozen to death in the winter.

There are also many people who don’t even have half an acre of land and can only wander around...

Too many to count.

She wants to open Jiuan in various places to help as many people as possible.

This is inseparable from Qin Rang's deployment and the help of Baiyulou.

If she relies on herself alone, she doesn't know how long it will take to achieve this goal.

Qin Rang was overwhelmed. He was already busy, and now he was even busier.

It is very difficult to expand Jiuan to all parts of Dashun. It requires the investment of countless gold, silver and treasures, the mobilization of many people, and a long time of deployment.

He tried to persuade Chu Yian to give up, but Chu Yian kept thinking about this problem all the way and refused to give up no matter what.

Qin Rang had no choice but to mobilize people from Baiyu Tower to help.

Qi Ze was very supportive of Chu Yian's decision and gave him a lot of gold, silver and treasures for it.

In the second year after returning to Beijing, Qi Ze was enthroned as the crown prince. The process was smooth and there were not many twists and turns.

After all, the third prince, who had repeatedly sent people to assassinate them, had been demoted and transferred to another place.

His canonization was a natural progression.

Not long after, Chu Yian received a letter from Gu Ci, inviting her to visit Ningguo.

But she was busy with Jiuan's affairs, so she just replied with a few words and got rid of the message.

Three years had passed by the time Jiu'an was rolled out in all the counties.

For three years, she followed Qin Rang to learn how to make Jiuan develop independently, how to operate it, and how to avoid the people below from being hypocritical.

This is extremely complicated and requires a very strong brain to support her in checking every link.

Chu Yian really didn't have the brains to do this, so he threw it to Qin Rang again.

Qin Rang smiled and told her to get out.

Chu Yian left and never came back. Only a steady stream of money flowed into Jiuan for Qin Rang to use.

Although Jiuan is still just a young seedling, it still has a long way to go before it can truly grow and still needs care.

But the efforts of these years have finally paid off.

While chatting with Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu, the mechanical sound of the system, which had not appeared in his mind for a long time, suddenly rang in Chu Yian's mind.

The moment she heard it for the first time, she was stunned there. Before the smile on her face faded, tears fell down.

Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu were both stunned.

We were talking about happy things, I don't understand why she was crying.

Qin Sheng hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, but Chu Yian seemed to be trapped in some emotion and couldn't get out of it. Her tears fell more and more, and she even started to cry softly.

The two brothers had seen her cry many times, but never like this. She looked like a helpless child, and both of them were at a loss as to what to do.

Qin Sheng tried to wipe away her tears, but he couldn't wipe them away completely. He could only hold her head against his shoulder and coax her softly.

Chu Yian hugged him and burst into tears.

She seemed to want to cry out all the longing and difficulties she had experienced over the years. She cried until her voice was hoarse and she had no strength to cry anymore, and then she came out of Qin Sheng's arms.

Qin Sheng's clothes were wet with her tears.

Looking up at the brothers' worried eyes, she curled her lips into a smile and spoke softly with a thick nasal tone:

"Brother, Qin Sheng, I want to go home..."
