He laughed till the end, until Xiao Ling angrily started pinching her waist with her hands.
Chu Yi just stopped smiling.
Then he pressed Xiao Ling's wrist with one hand, and the other hand also stopped behaving properly.
"So according to this statement, Your Majesty chose to use his beauty to seduce me in the end?"
"I don't have any!"
Xiao Ling became anxious, twisting restlessly in her arms, staring with dissatisfaction.
"It's obvious that you're the one who's shamelessly pursuing me, and you're so shameless, you keep bullying me!"
"Good, good! Your Majesty is right. Everything Your Majesty said is right."
Chu Yi was also amused by the little empress's actions, but still agreed with her.
After all, the little empress tonight made her very satisfied.
Out of reward, he finally followed her thoughts very gently.
After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "Although I was the one pursuing her, the result seems to be the same."
"If Your Majesty had not stayed at the Chu Mansion, causing me such confusion all day long, my thoughts would not have been so intense..."
Xiao Ling: “…”
This person,
So shameless...
"I don't want to talk to you about this anymore," Xiao Ling finally put aside the topic and continued his narration:
"Because Fu Xi gave me these plans, I actually thought she was trying to bring me together, until..."
"Until the day we got married, Fu Xi revealed her true identity and gave me two endings. One of them was for me to kill you. I've said this before, you know."
"Plus, this time she was secretly lurking beside your third brother and encouraging him to become emperor. I suddenly realized that she doesn't take sides at all!"
It was when the little empress said this that Chu Yi finally nodded.
He added softly, "Her purpose is more likely to be to cause a fight between us, whatever that may be."
"Well, that's right," Xiao Ling leaned his head against Chu Yi's body. "Chu thief, do you think she might be a spy from another country, whose purpose is to cause civil unrest in An?"
Chu Yi directly rejected this speculation easily:
"Not much... If that's the purpose, with Fu Xi's methods, killing us would be easier than doing anything else. There's absolutely no need to do this."
Having said that, no one can tell the secret.
Things suddenly came to a standstill. The two people looked at each other closely, their hearts were very confused.
"At present, we can conclude that Fu Xi is indeed a so-called demon. Her methods are not those of ordinary people, nor do they seem like tricks."
Suddenly, Xiao Ling said something.
"Well, Your Majesty is absolutely right. However... since this matter remains unresolved, let's leave it here for now."
Chu Yi replied, and then explained what he had discussed with Chu Yan:
"I have one more thing to do. I plan to have my third brother lead the Beijing garrison north..."
"Go north? What do you mean? Are you planning to prepare for the Qi army to move south?" Xiao Ling was puzzled.
"I guess so. After all, it's an extra layer of security." Chu Yi casually stroked the little empress's smooth back. "Besides, I'd like to borrow a piece of land from Your Majesty!"
"Borrowing land?"
"Yes, I need the places of Tianshan, Dezhou, Kaiyuan, and Huining in Bei'an Province."
The places Chu Yi mentioned are all east of Yan area in Beian Province, and most of them are located in highlands.
Huining, located south of the other three prefectures and counties, is a fertile plain with abundant rainfall and sufficient grain production.
The area covered by the four places combined is not large, but it is comparable to that of Western Xia.
The reason why he wanted this place was naturally to make plans for himself.
Xiao Ling was frightened at first, but was confused in the end.
Then, he asked doubtfully, "What do you want these places for? What does this have to do with you letting your third brother lead the troops north?"
Chu Yi explained his ideas to the young empress again, hoping to use them to solve the problems with the generals.
Xiao Ling was confused for a while, until he suddenly understood at the end.
Realizing Chu Yi's bold and seemingly crazy decision, she felt terrible.
"Chu thief, I did say before that I was willing to give the throne to you, but..."
At this point, Xiao Ling's face became serious. "I only want to give it to you, not anyone else. You said that you want your third brother to go to Bei'an to become a king of a different surname, or to become the emperor. This decision is..."
She wanted to explain her thoughts, but Chu Yi interrupted her in time.
"I understand your Majesty's concerns, but you must have misunderstood. I sent my third brother to Bei'an not to sever An State, but simply to allow him to temporarily use these places for development and conceal his true intentions. In fact, my real intention is to take the land of Qi!"
Facing the empress, Chu Yi no longer concealed anything, but confessed his purpose.
It was also at this moment that he, who was only thinking about rebellion and revenge, showed his fangs for the first time.
The idea of foreign conquest and unification has always been in his mind.
However, Chu Yi’s primary goal in the past was to rebel, so he rarely expressed any opinions to the outside world.
But now it’s different. He doesn’t need to worry about rights. He just needs to develop with peace of mind and accumulate strength.
In addition, Qi State is now planning a war, so An State needs to respond as soon as possible.
"That won't work either!"
Faced with this explanation, Xiao Ling's position seemed particularly firm.
"How can I return the land I've loaned out? You, Chu thief, have never considered that power can corrupt people's hearts. If your third brother truly becomes emperor and conquers Qi, even this small piece of land will easily lead to disputes."
"But this method is indeed a solution that can be easily resolved. I have speculated that perhaps the scholar's disturbance is just the beginning. The problem with the military commander must be resolved as soon as possible no matter what."
"Also, I can't guarantee anything else, but I still have enough confidence in my brother."
