Chu Fan felt a complex emotion when he heard Liu Ruyan boasting about the policies he had formulated to benefit the princes of the imperial family. He had never imagined such consequences would occur. He had only hoped that these princes would rebel against him after gaining power, and then they themselves would become emperor.
Of course, he couldn't say these words out loud, and even if he did, no one would believe him. After all, his predecessor didn't know that the elders of the Wei royal family had the power to dismiss the emperor, but some of the powerful families in Wei knew this secret.
Therefore, even if the prince of the Royal Affairs Office really wanted to become emperor, he didn't need to rebel against Chu Fan. Instead, he could just point out Chu Fan's shortcomings and have the royal elders depose him. However, everything Chu Fan did after ascending the throne was for the benefit of the entire Wei Kingdom and its people.
Moreover, the Wei royal family also gained a lot of benefits from many of the policies implemented by Chu Fan, so the elders of the royal family would never agree to the decision to dismiss Chu Fan. This is why Chu Fan was able to curse Chu Anping in the palace today.
At this time, Liu Ruyan's voice once again reached Chu Fan's ears. Liu Ruyan continued, "And back then, you gathered 200,000 strong people and spent nearly 5 million refined salt to rescue Sister Liu Xueyu and her family. Although this was due to your Majesty's feelings towards Sister Liu Xueyu, it would be an underestimation of your Majesty's wisdom to say that your Majesty had not started preparations for the unification of the Shengwu Continent.
When the rescued King of Shu hears that Your Majesty has gone to such great lengths to rescue him from the clutches of these treacherous ministers, his gratitude will be immense, so great that he might even be willing to make Shu a vassal state of Wei. Once Shu truly becomes a vassal state of Wei, Wei will have achieved expansion without resorting to military force. In the future, when Wei invades the Wei mainland, it can safely leave the defense of the south to Shu, and Wei's troops in the south can be deployed to the front lines.
When Liu Xueyu heard Liu Ruyan begin to talk about Chu Fan's order to save her family, she looked at Chu Fan affectionately. At the same time, she felt fortunate for her decisiveness in giving her body to Chu Fan. Regardless of whether Liu Ruyan's suggestion that Chu Fan had a greater purpose in saving her, or whether it was to gain her father's submission, the fact that Chu Fan had expended so much effort to save her family was indisputable.
Moreover, his family had been saved twice by Chu Fan's family. More than ten years ago, the noble families in Shu State rebelled, so his father fled to Wei State with his mother, two brothers and the young him. It was Chu Fan's father who saved his family and sent soldiers to help his father regain the territory and power of Shu State.
And a few months ago, Chu Fan had gone to such great lengths to rescue his family from Shu. These two favors were enough to make Liu Xueyu and his father do anything for Chu Fan and the Wei Kingdom.
Chu Fan looked into Liu Xueyu's eyes, and was moved by her tenderness. Of course, he had to speak up to correct Liu Ruyan. After all, he really just wanted to save Liu Xueyu's family. After all, he was a virgin in both his lives. In his previous life on Blue Star, he had a girlfriend in college, but she never allowed him to have physical contact with her.
But Liu Xueyu was different. Not only was she a chaste princess, but she was also deeply in love with him. She even gave him her first time when she left Kaifeng City again. How could he not try his best to save her after knowing that Liu Xueyu was in danger?
Chu Fan said, "Ruyan, you misunderstood. I saved Liu Xueyu's family simply out of my deep affection for her, and without any other motives. When I heard that Liu Xueyu was in danger, I had only one thought in my mind: to protect her safety at all costs, even if it meant paying a huge price.
Of course, if you, Ruyan, are in danger, I will do everything in my power to save you, rather than just watch you fall into danger. After all, you are all indispensable people in my life."
After Chu Fan finished speaking, Mu Xi, Qiu Ya and other women looked at him tenderly. Tears glistened in their eyes, and their hearts were filled with endless gratitude and love. Being able to meet such a loving lover was the greatest luck in their lives.
Liu Ruyan said, "I understand. Your Majesty is a good man with deep affection, so we sisters will not let you down. How about letting Sister Qiuya and I serve you together tonight?"
Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Chu Fan conjured up a beautiful picture in his mind. However, when Chu Fan saw Qiuya's flushed cheeks and Liu Ruyan's playful expression, he gently patted Liu Ruyan's head and said, "Do your summary well and don't talk about these insignificant things."
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips. She could tell from Chu Fan's expression that he was interested, but she also knew that as the Emperor, Chu Fan would definitely not openly discuss such matters. So, Liu Ruyan had her own plans and decided to give Chu Fan a surprise that evening. Of course, the most important thing now was to continue to give our proud Majesty a summary of the past two years.
Liu Ruyan said, "Sister Liu Xueyu, when the Hedong Kyushu region of Wei suffered a flood, and when Wei's envoys came to Shu to borrow grain, Sister Liu Xueyu personally escorted 200,000 dan of grain to Kaifeng, right?"
Liu Xueyu didn't know why Liu Ruyan suddenly brought this up, but she nodded slightly and admitted, "It's true. However, Shu didn't have much grain reserves at the time, so 200,000 dan was the limit. Furthermore, Your Majesty and I hadn't seen each other for over a decade. Furthermore, I was well aware of the suffering of the people of Wei, so I personally escorted them to Wei. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Liu Ruyan said, "Not only is there a problem here, but it's a serious one. My guess is that His Majesty might have begun testing the friendship of the nations on Shengwu Continent. When His Majesty sent envoys to all the nations on Shengwu Continent to borrow grain, he probably had some far-reaching motive, didn't he?"
Chu Fan was completely speechless. Meeting someone so imaginative was incredibly frustrating. Chu Fan could only explain, "Ruyan, you're really overthinking this. I was just trying to save the situation at first, so I didn't have any ulterior motives."
