Mu Tianchi was surprised for a moment, not because Li Yu boldly mentioned Jiangshan, but because of that sentence - the last calamity.

What does the last calamity mean?

Although Xiaoyu herself did not say why she stayed by his side, Mu Tianchi was reminded by Kong, and he could also sense that Xiaoyu was going to survive the calamity.

The last time she survived the calamity, Xiaoyu was not completely successful because of the bandits.

Mu Tianchi naturally thought, since this was the last calamity, would Xiaoyu leave him after she survived the calamity?

He is now the prince, with two children, and in the eyes of outsiders, his life is already very perfect. He is very afraid that this perfection will also make the carp spirit think that he has stayed with him long enough, and it is time to leave him. But he cared more and more about Xiaoyu every day, and he could not accept Xiaoyu leaving, unless he died.

Every time he mentioned it, Xiaoyu always hesitated and was vague, so he did not hesitate to use any means to trap this fish by his side.

He knew that Xiaoyu was kind-hearted, and even Piaoxue and Liang wanted to take care of her. If she said that she stayed with him for so long just to gain power, Mu Tianchi would not believe it.

Xiaoyu was different from other people.

If he really wanted to negotiate with him, why not choose to do it when he was in trouble? In that case, no matter what the reason was, he would agree. However, Xiaoyu mentioned it casually and hastily when he had no obstacles. If he was a treacherous person, he would fool around with a few words, or simply refuse, what could Xiaoyu do to him?

——Don’t smart Xiaoyu know all this?

Actually, Xiaoyu didn’t need to ask. He had originally planned to give Xiaoyu the same rights as the Regent King after ascending the throne. He knew that Xiaoyu often wanted to do something and had the ability to do it, but was bound by the title of Princess and Crown Princess, and was afraid that it would create a gap between them.

But how could it be? When the imperial physician was detoxifying him, he was unconscious for a while, and by some strange coincidence, he remembered some old things in his sleep.

His muteness, the position of Crown Prince, and even his life, all depended on Xiaoyu’s help. If the Regent King was not enough, Xiaoyu wanted more, and he would not be stingy when he could afford it.

Xiaoyu’s tone was more like a test than a real desire.

Mu Tianchi saw the essence through the phenomenon and felt that this test was very likely related to the last calamity.

Will he answer something and Xiaoyu will turn around and leave?

It's possible!

As Xuebao was born safely, Mu Tianchi became more and more uneasy. He couldn't make a wrong move. He would rather not answer than give a wrong answer!

Mu Tianchi tightened his chin and said, "Let me think about it and then I'll answer you."

Li Yu, who had been waiting for the standard answer: ???

Hey, didn't the prince just say that he would give him whatever he wanted?

Li Yu couldn't help but puff up his lips. If a man is reliable, even pigs can climb trees!

On the one hand, he felt that the prince could actually say nice words to coax him, on the other hand, he also knew that his request was actually a bit too much.

The country is not just any thing. Some people would give up their parents and children for the country, and some people would even give up their own lives. The country is so important, it belongs to the prince's family business. Who is he? Why should the prince share the family business with him?

Li Yu secretly scolded himself for being stupid. He was so overwhelmed by the prince's favor that he had wild ideas and forgot that the bottom line should not be touched. This extremely stupid question put both the prince and himself in an awkward situation.

"I'm sorry, I... shouldn't ask this. You should just pretend that I never mentioned it." Li Yu said.

He would not dislike the prince because of this. After all, he did not grasp the right degree in this matter. He had already endured to the last main line. How could it be so easy? He should just let it go after a little disappointment.

Besides, the prince did not really refuse. He said he would consider it. If it was someone else, the prince would have turned hostile long ago.

They have only been together for more than two years. Maybe in another two years, or when they are old, the prince will give an answer after "considering it"?

Anyway, the boss is gone, and no one dares to target the princess. Even if an excellent carp spirit has to change once a day, it doesn't make much difference!

Li Yu comforted himself in time and his mentality was very stable. Although he did not get the answer he wanted, he was still affectionate with the prince.

Mu Tianchi was more certain that it was right to deliberately delay and not speak out his true feelings.

Otherwise, this fish might just pat his butt and run away, leaving him and his children behind.

He could feel that the little fish was a little disappointed because of his refusal. But it doesn't matter, he will help Xiaoyu find it from other places.

Li Yu failed to complete the main line, so he devoted himself to the construction of the Women's Federation. Of course, this was in ancient times, and it was not easy to understand the Women's Federation. Li Yu slightly changed the name and called it the Women's Assistance Association. The initial

intention was to get the emperor's support and first build an office in the imperial city. If it was well run, it would be gradually implemented in local areas. After doing the public opinion survey, Li Yu became more confident. The prince gave him a crooked idea. It is a deep-rooted concept for women to be chaste. If you want to change this concept, it is not enough to rely on the people's ideas alone. It is better to get the officials' support, so that it will be more convincing.

Li Yu thought it made sense, but how could he get the officials to fill in the questionnaire?

The prince looked at the Crown Princess with a smile, and glanced at his legs.

Li Yu's face flushed: I already have sons and daughters, why do I still come!

The Crown Princess grumbled, but still went over to sit.

The Crown Prince embraced the Crown Princess contentedly. Xue Bao’s full-moon banquet had just passed, so it was not easy to hold another banquet right away. This was also Li Yu’s dilemma. It was indeed difficult to find an excuse. Li Yu was just guessing what the Crown Prince would say, but the Crown Prince directly ordered the six officials to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to listen to his orders.

Li Yu: ???

Well, the Crown Prince has special powers...

Because the Crown Prince is personally guarding the place, the officials answered the questions diligently, and Li Yu completed the task without much effort.

He initially thought that most of these officials did not agree with the widow’s remarriage, but the reality was just the opposite. Li Yu thought about it carefully and realized that this was probably because the officials were well-informed and knew that chastity was not good for women, but it was just because of the court’s praise.

Li Yu sorted all the papers into different categories and compiled a list. He originally hoped that the prince could help him speak to the emperor, but the prince said, since it was your idea, you should just go and tell your father directly.

Li Yu panicked. Didn’t the prince say he would help him? Is he helping him into trouble?

And he is the princess, not an official. Will he be scolded when he goes to court?

But Li Yu really wants to set up the Women’s Federation, not just talk about it.

The prince went to court, and Li Yu followed closely behind him.

Oh, it feels like Yu Shi and a group of slightly older ministers can poke a hole in him with their eyes.

Seeing Li Yu, the emperor looked at the prince with a confused look on his face.

Mu Tianchi curled his lips and said, "Father, the Crown Princess has a memorial to present to you. I think that he is also a member of the royal family and should be qualified to report to you."

Whose daughter-in-law would submit a memorial at will?

The emperor was a little surprised, but thinking about Li Yu's ideas on locust control in the western frontier, the emperor loved talents in his heart and finally agreed.

Li Yu handed the list he had compiled to the emperor.

After reading it, the emperor smiled and said, "This is an old custom left over from the past, and this dynasty continues to use it. I didn't react to it for a while. It's rare that you have collected so much information. I will consider it carefully. The relief association does have its merits. I will leave it to you. You can draw up a detailed plan for me..."

Is that it?

Li Yu was secretly delighted. He was too lucky. He thought he still had to rely on eloquent speeches to convince the emperor, but the emperor agreed!

Li Yu hurriedly thanked him. The ministers around him shouted long live the emperor. Li Yu suddenly had an idea and it became clear.

Why didn't the officials object? It was because chastity was not a rule set by the emperor. If the bad habits could be abolished, it would be beneficial to the emperor's reputation. How could the emperor not accept it?

And even if he didn't accept it at first, after seeing the attitudes of so many officials, the emperor would consider it carefully...

So, the prince asked him to collect the opinions of officials!

Li Yu turned around and looked at the prince. Was the prince teaching him?

The prince smiled softly at him.

Li Yu was very worried. He could feel that the prince didn't mind him at all and even gave him special instructions. He still loved him. Why did he have to consider... ahem, sharing the throne?

Li Yu himself didn't know.

The emperor issued an edict later, clearly stating that if one of the couple had passed away, the other could come and go freely. It was a virtue to remain chaste, but it was not wrong to not remain chaste.

The emperor's edict gave Li Yu a basis for doing things.

Because there were too many things to do in the early days of the assistance association, Li Yu was distracted and incompetent. He had to find a place and people. When it was really opened, he was worried that someone would come to mess up the place...

Finally, the assistance association welcomed the first woman who wanted to help. She was originally suffering from the harassment of her husband's family after her husband died. She wanted to leave her husband's family, but several elders in her husband's family refused to let her go. The woman was desperate and reacted violently. She wanted to end her life several times, but was saved by others. Hearing that a new assistance association had been established, this was the last straw to save her life.

Li Yu quickly found Qin, Xiaolu and others to guide the woman together. He also used his status as the crown princess and the emperor's instructions to use both soft and hard methods. In the end, he persuaded the husband's family on behalf of the woman, and the woman was able to leave peacefully.

Li Yu was mentally prepared, and he realized the importance of patience and carefulness. After a while, the work of the Assistance Association was on track, and more and more people wanted to ask for help. The emperor ordered a trained female official to take over, and Li Yu smoothly retreated to the second line, occasionally helping out with some ideas. The Assistance Association

became famous, and later, even Liang Shi mustered up the courage to come here accompanied by servants...

After all, there is a new way to go, and who is willing to fall into the mud pit for the rest of their lives.

The prince said that Liang Shi's situation was more complicated than that of ordinary women. Li Yu was afraid that he could not convince the emperor, so he arrested the prince for help.

Fortunately, the emperor had issued an imperial decree before, saying that widows should not be embarrassed, and he himself could not embarrass Liang Shi again. Moreover, the marriage was decided by the emperor. Although Liang was suspected of disobeying the emperor's order, the marriage that the emperor wanted was the source of Liang's pain.

The emperor hated Mu Tianxiao in his heart, so he ignored Liang. Since Liang and Mu Tianxiao had no friendship for a long time, the prince suggested that the emperor allow Liang's tablet to be separated from Mu Tianxiao's. Li Yu was completely speechless. The prince really spared no effort to deal with the sixth prince.

But this was the most fundamental and effective way!

The suggestion made by the prince was actually very much in line with the emperor's wishes, and the emperor approved it.

Liang became a free person from then on, and kowtowed to the emperor, the prince, Li Yu and others one after another.

"Don't thank me." The prince said, "If it weren't for Xiaoyu's persistence, we might not have reached this point today."

Liang knew in her heart, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yu a few more times.

Li Yu secretly glanced at the prince, and the prince was also looking at him.

Li Yu thought in his heart that the prince even gave him the credit, which meant that he had no grudge against him.

"Tianchi, can we talk about what happened last time?" Li Yu asked.
