Chu Yi was a little confused.

He just stared straight at his panicked third brother in front of him.

What...is happening?

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Realizing this situation, he didn't get anxious and just snorted softly.

"So what does it mean? Who gave you this idea?"

"Brother, this is not my fault." Chu Yan hurriedly defended himself:

"Fu Xi's appearance was quite unexpected. I was also bewitched by her, but I only had a few thoughts. I promise that I have absolutely no other intentions."

As soon as the third brother opened his mouth, his words revealed a thunderbolt.

Chu Yi frowned as he listened to Chu Yan mention Fu Xi. "So after Fu Xi came out of the palace, she came to you and even bewitched you to become the emperor, right?"

Little witch? Leaving the palace?

Hearing the extremely understanding tone in his elder brother's words, Chu Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother, do you know that witch? Could it be that she... is my sister-in-law's person?"

He had to admit that he got the most crucial information from his eldest brother's words, and after a little thought he realized a very important issue.

The little witch with outstanding abilities who suddenly appeared beside him was most likely the Empress's subordinate!

Since he is the empress's man, why does he appear beside him, and why does he want to persuade him to rebel and become emperor?

For a moment, Chu Yan didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Thinking of Fu Xi's methods and abilities, he felt completely numb.

This witch is clearly a knife hanging behind her neck!

"No, the little witch is not the little empress's."

Chu Yi denied his third brother's speculation and then gave a simple explanation: "She did help the young empress deal with us before, but after learning that the empress was unwilling to kill me, she chose to leave. I have always wondered what her purpose was, but I didn't expect that she would be with you."

These words made Chu Yan even more confused.

Fu Xi is not his sister-in-law's person, but he helps his sister-in-law deal with him, and then suddenly appears beside him in the end, trying to persuade him to become emperor?

Why does this sound so outrageous?

But the facts were before him, and he had to believe it.

Chu Yi, who also knew this information, warned him:

"Let's not act rashly regarding the little witch for now. At least we can be sure of two things: one, the little witch has her own agenda, and two, she won't take the initiative to kill us."

After giving the instructions, he patted Chu Yan's shoulder again and said, "As for the matter of letting you lead the troops to resist the enemy and take root as a prince, you should think about it first. I need to discuss this matter with your sister-in-law."

"You should know that allowing you to establish your own army is only the first step of my plan!"

Chu Yan left in a daze.

Along the way, he kept thinking about what his elder brother said, as if he was dreaming.

He only vaguely remembered that his elder brother repeatedly reminded him that he wanted to be the emperor.

Although he didn't understand why his elder brother said that this was only the first step in the goal, as a military general, he seemed to be able to realize that his elder brother's plan was related to the war.

It’s the Qi State in the north!

…

When Chu Yi returned to the bedroom, the candle on the bedside table had been extinguished.

Not hearing the little empress's voice, he thought she had fallen asleep, so he quietly took off his clothes and got on the bed.

As soon as I carefully lifted the quilt, a pair of warm arms in the darkness precisely wrapped around my waist.

"Your Majesty, is he still awake?"

Chu Yi was a little surprised. He quickly got into the bed and hugged the warm body in his arms.

Xiao Ling buried her head in his arms, revealing a long-lost look of comfort.

When she heard Chu Ze ask, she said softly, "Without you, I can't sleep."

"Really?" Chu Yi smiled, rubbing her waist with both hands, "It's the same for me, my husband."

After a tender moment, Xiao Ling couldn't help but bring up the questions in his heart.

"What did your third brother say? Does what happened tonight have anything to do with him?"

"What happened tonight was indeed a problem with the generals, but it has nothing to do with him, and he is not aware of it."

Chu Yi paused for a moment after saying this, then said in a serious tone: "But I also know something very important."

"What is it?"

"Last time, after Fu Xi left the palace, she went to the Jingying Camp and even tried to persuade my third brother to rebel and become emperor. The witch herself is probably in the Jingying Camp outside the city now."

Although Chu Yi's words did not raise concerns, they were also very serious, which made Xiao Ling wake up instantly.

"Fu Xi actually bewitched your third brother? Didn't she want to help me eliminate you and your third brother from the beginning? Why is she acting so abnormally?"

"It's really strange. I thought about it carefully. Her purpose... seems to be that she really hopes that someone will sit on the throne of the emperor?" Chu Yi then expressed his opinion.

At this time, the two of them were hugging each other and could only vaguely see each other's faces.

The topic of discussion sounded very sensitive, but neither of them cared.

"I feel that this witch seems to want to rely on the status of the emperor to provide herself with some convenient assistance."

"I don't think so."

Xiao Ling spoke seriously, "If this is her intention, she can rely on me for help directly. There is no need to deceive your third brother."

"Also, I remember very clearly that Fu Xi's original intention was not to get me to eliminate your Chu family, but..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ling remembered the three strategies Fu Xi had given him at that time.

Even when thinking about it now, Xiao Ling still feels ashamed.

In fact, when she confessed a while ago, she didn't explain in detail because she was embarrassed, and just mentioned it to Chu Yi in passing.

But things are different now. In order to let Chu Yi understand Fu Xi, she feels that she can directly explain the past that she cannot bear to recall.

"At that time, Fu Xi offered me three strategies. One was for me to surrender the throne and give up struggling."

"The remaining two plans are essentially the same. I'll use my beauty to seduce you and become your wife. Once my identity is exposed, all crises will be resolved..."

After briefly introducing the plan at that time, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel hot on his face again at the end.

According to the current situation, I still chose the remaining two plans.

She couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, it was already late at night and there was no candle in the room, so the thief Chu didn't have to see her red cheeks buried in his chest.

After hearing these old stories, Chu Yi was stunned for a while.

Then, he couldn't help laughing and looked closely at the face of the little empress in front of him.

He found it very interesting in his heart.

According to the little empress, the little witch is very sensible.

This arrangement is really what I like.
