"If anyone finds out, I'll kill him! I want to see who dares to say anything bad about Huan'er."
Lin Chunhuan smiled and put his arms around the emperor's neck. "Sir, you are a wise ruler. You wouldn't do something that would take human life lightly."
"Huan'er, do you think I am a wise ruler?"
The desire in his eyes was diluted, and the emperor looked at Lin Chunhuan with an extremely serious look, "It is dishonorable for a king to seize a minister's wife, no matter how many reasons I have."
"Huan'er is smart. I don't believe you can't think of it. I could have found Yuan Shaojun to help you with the antidote that night." There was a hint of guilt on his righteous face.
Although the emperor did not regret his decision that night, he still felt a little insecure.
"But I didn't do that. I took you for myself out of selfish desire. Even so... Huan'er still thinks I'm a wise ruler?"
Lin Chunhuan was silent.
She certainly knew that with the emperor's ability, it would not be difficult to capture Yuan Shaojun, who had not yet returned to the Yuan Mansion, and bring him to her to get the antidote.
From the very beginning, what she wanted to pursue was what the emperor called her own selfish interests.
But of course she wouldn't say that.
She didn't just give a random answer to the emperor, but pursed her lips and thought for a long time before she raised her eyes and spoke slowly, "Why not?"
"During the past decade or so of his reign, the Master has been truly diligent and conscientious. He reduced forced labor, lowered taxes, established schools, and allowed the people of the country to rest and recuperate. His rule brought prosperity to the land. He even personally led several campaigns to reclaim territories ceded by the previous dynasty, personally eradicating the humiliation left behind by the previous dynasty."
"Not only that, sir, you have also been open to public opinion and have recruited talented people. The people have their own standards. How can they deny your achievements just because you fell in love with a woman and saved her from danger?"
Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath, a shy look between her eyebrows, "I am fortunate to have your favor, sir. Although it is against ethics, I am willing to do it."
This was the first time that Lin Chunhuan expressed his feelings.
The emperor's breathing became more and more rapid, but this time it was not because of desire, but excitement.
Nothing can make him happier than knowing that his sweetheart also has him in her heart!
"I didn't expect Huan'er, who lives in the backyard, to be so familiar with the policies I've set over the years. I really wasn't wrong about you from the beginning!"
The emperor was excited, and the one who suffered was naturally Lin Chunhuan.
However, since the emperor had come through so much trouble, she had no reason to refuse and could only let him do what he wanted.
Of course she knows this!
Then Yuan Shaojun is a waste. If she doesn't even know the policies introduced by the emperor, how can she support the Yuan family with her identity as a woman?
How to protect Yuan Shaojun when he makes stupid mistakes again and again?
Whenever Lin Chunhuan thought of these things, she became furious. Now it seemed that she was the stupidest one. If Yuan Shaojun wanted to die, he should be allowed to die!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up like that in the end!
After making love, Lin Chunhuan was already sweating profusely, but the emperor was still clinging to her as if he was tireless.
"gentlemen."
"Um."
The emperor responded randomly, but his movements did not slow down at all. When Lin Chunhuan could no longer bear it and bit his shoulder, he stopped with a smile and asked, "Huan'er, are you tired?"
"After all, we are still in the Lin Mansion now, so sir, please...be more restrained."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Chunhuan's cheeks had already turned red. Some things are harder to say than to do, but the emperor knew how to do them.
It was not so easy to stop, he almost forced the person to be held in his arms, "One more time, just once."
Lin Chunhuan rolled his eyes silently.
It was only after the emperor finally stopped to rest with a satisfied look on his face that he had the chance to speak.
As soon as the soft body approached, the emperor's eyes lit up, "It's still early, Huan'er is still..."
"Sir!" This time, even the good-tempered Lin Chunhuan was a little angry.
Is that the only thing on this man's mind?
After giving the emperor a gentle push, she spoke a little aggrievedly, "I have something to say."
"Three years ago, when I married into the Yuan family, my mother gave me a celadon wine pot with a lotus and phoenix pattern, which was left by my grandmother, as part of my dowry. The other things are fine, but the wine pot is my mother's legacy, and I want it back."
"But Madam Yuan...I'm afraid she won't be willing."
"After all, the old lady is the widow of a great general, and she was personally bestowed by you, sir. I am undecided and would like to ask you if you have any suggestions."
Speaking of business, the emperor frowned slightly, withdrawing from his lustful mood, "Why didn't Ke'er and Caihuan bring back your dowry when they returned home today?"
Lin Chunhuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ke'er must have fought for it. Her arm is bruised. If it weren't for the colorful ring protecting her, she would have been injured more than just her arm."
"I have no other choice. If you don't come today, I will ask the Prime Minister for some rules."
The emperor took several deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart.
"According to the laws of our dynasty, a woman's dowry is considered private property and has nothing to do with her husband's family. Regardless of whether the couple divorces or abandons the bride, the bride must return the dowry in full. How dare these mother and son be so bold as to disregard the law?!"
"Even ordinary people wouldn't do such shameless things. The Yuan family mother and son are really getting more and more promising!"
In response to this, Lin Chunhuan just raised his eyebrows slightly and did not express any opinion.
Of course, the Yuan family would not let go of such a large sum of money so easily.
When she got married, because the marriage was arranged by the emperor, her parents were afraid that she would not have the support of her brothers and would not have the confidence to marry into the Yuan Mansion, so they gave her a dowry that was even more generous than the regulations, which was almost half of the entire Lin family's wealth!
As for the Yuan family, since the death of the great general, Yuan Shaojun has been working in the army in a sinecure. Others politely call him "Little General Yuan" for the sake of the great general's face.
In fact, he has no real power at all.
It’s not that the emperor did it on purpose, but he couldn’t complete any of the tasks assigned to him properly, so there was no way to promote him.
Yuan's mother was only concerned with her own enjoyment and didn't care about anything else.
The two of them were not good at business at all, and they couldn't even maintain Chengdu. When she married into the Yuan family, the general's mansion looked bright and beautiful from the outside, but it was already in a mess inside.
If it weren't for her dowry, how could she have been so glamorous and respectable as others see her?
But in her previous life, she was foolish and used her dowry to fill the bottomless pit of the Yuan family. This time... the Yuan family will not be so lucky.
The wine pot was just a trigger. She wanted to make that old hag and that loser spit out everything she brought to the Yuan family!
However, this matter had to be made clear to the emperor so that she would not be restricted when taking action.
"Huan'er, go and ask for it tomorrow. I'll assign you some help. Don't be afraid of making things worse. No matter what happens, I'll cover for you!"
