Chapter 206 Do you want to sit on the dragon throne?

Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang with a doting look as he smiled.

"The emperor took the blame for Eunuch De this time and was despised by the people. The two of them will definitely have an unhappy quarrel."

With the addition of rumors, the Qi family can live in peace for some time.

Ye Chutang looked up at Qi Yanzhou and asked curiously, "Azhou, what do you think the Dragon Guards of the capital will choose?"

Qi Yanzhou didn't know much about the Dragon Guards and shook his head.

"It's hard to say. Not all Dragon Guards are as sensible as Han Chong."

"That's true. The Zhao family can't sit on the throne steadily. It's only a matter of time before the dynasty changes. Do you want to sit on it?"

This was the first time Ye Chutang asked Qi Yanzhou questions about family, country and the world.

Qi Yanzhou met Ye Chutang's eyes calmly and shook his head.

"I don't want to be a king, there are so many shackles."

The Qi family is a good general who can protect the country's peace.

But stabilizing the country and maintaining stability are two different things, and he does not think he has the ability to govern the country.

Therefore, although Qi Yanzhou has been secretly planning to overthrow the tyranny of the Zhao family.

But what he wanted was to establish a new king, not to take the throne himself.

After hearing Qi Yanzhou's answer, Ye Chutang smiled and said, "As a minister, you also have shackles and are controlled by others."

"The ruler is controlled by the people of the world and has no freedom."

After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he raised his hand to help Ye Chutang push the loose hair on her face behind her ears.

"Atang, if you want me to sit in that supreme position, I..."

Ye Chutang interrupted and refused without waiting for Qi Yanzhou to finish.

"No, I don't want to be trapped in the palace and compete with the three thousand beauties in the harem for men. If you want to be the emperor, we will divorce."

When Qi Yanzhou heard the word "divorce", he tapped Ye Chutang's forehead unhappily.

"We won't get divorced. The promise we made before marriage is valid for the rest of our lives!"

He has no desire for power, otherwise the country would have changed hands long ago.

Ye Chutang kissed Qi Yanzhou on the face, "Then we will settle down in Tianshan County and become local emperors."

"Okay, I'll satisfy you with whatever you want."

"Have you chosen a new emperor?"

When Qi Yanzhou heard this, he remembered what Qin Muyun said when he sent the bride off at Shili Pavilion.

"Within ten years, Beichen Nation will be destroyed, and the new Imperial Star will have taken shape."

Qin Muyun should have already embarked on the journey to find the Emperor Star.

I believe it won't be long before he knows who it is.

Thinking of this, he said: "There is no suitable candidate yet, let's get ready first."

Ye Chutang knew that it was hard to find a wise ruler, so he nodded.

“When the time comes, the person will appear.”

After that, she rubbed her belly.

"Such a big thing happened in the prefecture, I don't know if there will be food tonight?"

Qi Yanzhou didn't dare let the pregnant Ye Chutang go hungry.

"What do you want to eat? I'll ask Han Chong's people to buy it."

Ye Chutang thought that he hadn't had a good meal for a long time, so he said, "Let's order a table of good food at the best restaurant in Liangzhou City."

She is not short of money, so there is no need for her to put herself in a difficult position.

"Okay, go back to Qingyayuan and rest first."

Just as Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, Han Chong's voice rang out at the entrance to the back garden.

"Master Qi, Madam Qi, someone sent wine and food to the Qi family. Should we take them directly to Qingya Courtyard?"

Ye Chutang guessed that it was sent by Song Jingning.

"Send it over."

After saying that, she and Qi Yanzhou returned to Qingyayuan.

The yard was dead silent.

Qi Jingyao didn't know how long she had been crying. Her eyes were so swollen, and her lapel and sleeves were wet.

When she saw the two of them coming back, she immediately stood up and asked, "Why didn't my mother come back?"

Although she already knew the result, she still hoped for a turnaround.

Qi Yanzhou didn't feel sorry for Qi Jingyao and looked at her calmly.

"She is dead. If you want to see her for the last time, let the officer outside the yard take you there."

Qi Jingyao's face turned pale.

"Thank you, second brother."

After saying that, she left the yard.

After a while, Han Cong led the waiters from Zui Xiang Lou to the yard.

There were five waiters, each carrying two food boxes, each containing two dishes.

Qingyayuan did not have a separate dining room, so the waiter delivered the dishes to the main room.

"This is braised beef with soy sauce, this is braised pork trotter, this is steamed sea bass, this is bird's nest soup..."

There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, with good color, aroma and taste.

Han Chong said to Qi Yanzhou, "Not only the Qi family has food, but we officials have too. This meal will cost at least a thousand taels of silver. I wanted to pay the bill, but the waiter at the restaurant refused to accept it, saying that someone had already paid."

He knew that it was all thanks to the Qi family, so he came forward to tell them.

Qi Yanzhou also guessed that the person who delivered the food was Song Jingning.

"Master Han, don't worry and eat."

"Okay, you guys eat and rest early, and we'll set off at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow."

After Han Chong left, Qi Yanzhou invited his family to dinner.

As for Aunt Gao and Qi Yun'an, they could only watch from the sidelines and wait to eat the leftovers.

Although the steamed sea bass was placed opposite Ye Chutang, she was extremely sensitive to the fishy smell of fish and felt a little nauseous.

After Qi Yanzhou noticed this, he said, "Lord Han likes to eat fish, I'll send it to him."

After saying that, he took the fish away.

Mr. Qi quickly called Qi Yanzhou, "Azhou, take this plate of braised pork trotters over. We can't finish all these dishes."

If Han Chong hadn't helped today, even if the Qi family hadn't been plotted against, it would have been difficult for them to escape.

Qi Yanzhou responded and took the pig's trotter away.

Without the dishes that made Ye Chutang feel sick, her appetite was greatly improved and she ate a lot.

After dinner, she took Qi Yanzhou to digest the food.

"A Zhou, I want to go to my brother's maternal grandfather Cui's house."

Qi Yanzhou also felt that Ye Chutang should go to the Cui family.

Back then, it was Song Mingyu who saved Song Jingning, but it was the Cui family who kept him alive.

"I'll talk to Han Chong later and go with you."

Ye Chutang quickly refused, "You are too conspicuous. I will disguise myself and go by myself."

She had to clear out the Cao, Chen and Yuan families, and it would be more convenient to go alone.

"Then be careful and come back soon."

"At midnight at the latest."

After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he and Qi Yanzhou went to find Han Chong.

"Master Han, I have some personal matters to attend to. I would like to leave the prefectural government for an hour or two."

Han Chong naturally had no objection.

He showed Ye Chutang a secret passage and asked her to leave.

Before leaving, Ye Chutang tied her hair up and changed into men's clothes.

After leaving the prefectural government, she did not go to the Cui family immediately, but went to the Cao family.

The governor is confiscating Cao's property.

The men of the Cao family were beheaded on the spot, and the women were made into official prostitutes.

Those with strong tempers immediately committed suicide.

The cries of those who were reluctant to die resounded through the sky.

When Ye Chutang saw that the officials did not seize much property, he guessed that the Cao family either had a secret room or kept their valuables somewhere else.

She used her earth-related ability to sense the underground of Cao's house, but found nothing.

Then there is only one possibility left - the property is hidden somewhere else.

And this place must be the Cao family's hidden property.

The only people who knew about the secret birth were Cao Liang, who had already died, and his wife.

Based on her attire, Ye Chutang immediately identified her as a graceful woman in her forties.

We can’t go and ask now, we can only wait for the officers to put the man in jail before taking any action.

As for the property found by the officials, we can just go to the prefectural government to get it.

The Yuan family was not far from the Cao family, so Ye Chutang went to take a look.
