That night, the village chief informed everyone in the village about the incident.

They were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, and they also gave Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi a lot of vegetables, eggs, etc. that they grew themselves.

To express his gratitude, the village chief specially brought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and a thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish their bodies.

That afternoon, Xiaomei ran to play with Chu Weiyue after finishing her housework.

She was frowning a few days ago, but today she is smiling.

He came to Chu Weiyue's side and held her hand.

“I have good news for you, I don’t have to get married anymore, and girls in our village no longer have to marry someone from their own family!

The village chief also told us that when our village is restored to normalcy, we will sell all our treasured medicinal herbs, and then invite craftsmen from outside to build beautiful houses for us, and also to build roads, so that we can become rich here..."

Her eyes were dark and shiny, filled with joy and excitement.

Chu Weiyue smiled excitedly, "This is a good thing. Your village will be better and better in the future."

"This is all thanks to you. I also want to thank you and the prince. If it weren't for you, I don't know when our village will see the light of day."

She has completely treated Chu Weiyue as her own sister, telling her everything she knows.

at the same time.

The court was unable to find the bodies of the three men and planned to officially declare them dead.

Wen Chenxuan had just finished his morning court session when he was stopped by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was dressed formally today, looking majestic without even being angry.

Wen Chenxuan was stunned for a moment, and a calm smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Grandmother, how come you have time to come and see your grandson today? Do you want to have tea and chat with him?"

His smile didn't even reach his eyes, giving people a gloomy feeling.

The Queen Mother didn't respond to his words at all, and questioned him in a domineering tone.

"I heard that you are going to announce the death of the Ninth Prince and his princess. Is this true?"

Wen Chenxuan did not answer immediately. After a long while, he curled the corners of his lips in an unfathomable manner.

"Grandmother, you don't have to worry about this matter. Your grandson will take care of everything. Now that you are old, you should just enjoy your retirement in the harem. If you interfere too much, you will get into trouble."

Wen Chenxuan tugged at his collar, his eyes filled with a bit of coldness and contempt.

There was no longer any emotion between them, and what remained was just ordinary worldly courtesy.

The Queen Mother angrily raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.

"How dare you speak to me like this? Do you have any regard for me, your grandmother? Don't think that you can ignore my words just because you are the emperor now.

I am your elder. You didn't consult me ​​on such an important matter and dared to act on your own. Do you still have the royal rules in your eyes..."

The Queen Mother angrily scolded Wen Chenxuan.

No matter what she said, Wen Chenxuan listened carefully and looked servile.

Where no one could see, his fists had already been clenched until they made a creaking sound.

The old thing, the Queen Mother, actually dared to slap him in the face.

Now that he is the emperor, if he was not afraid of people gossiping about him, he would beat her to death with sticks.

After the Queen Mother had finished venting, Wen Chenxuan coldly asked, "Grandmother, what do you think should be done?"

Wen Chenxuan curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the empress dowager with a strange look.

The Queen Mother ignored him and laughed coldly.

"Of course we have to keep looking for them. If they are alive, we have to find them. If they are dead, we have to find their bodies. If we don't even have bodies, how can we be sure they are dead? As long as we don't find their bodies, we can't announce their deaths.

After all, I am your elder. If you do not discuss this with me, it is tantamount to disrespecting the late emperor and your grandfather. If it happens again, I will have a good talk with all the civil and military officials."

After glaring at Wen Chenxuan angrily for a few times, the Queen Mother stormed out in annoyance.

Watching his leaving back, Wen Chenxuan's eyes turned red with anger.

"This old man is so abominable!"

After cursing a few words, he returned to his bedroom in anger and shame.

Chu Ranxin specially prepared some snacks. Seeing Wen Chenxuan coming back, she walked over to him charmingly and took his arm.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Who made you unhappy?"

"It's that old thing, the Queen Mother. We had already discussed and announced the death of Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue, but she refused to allow it and even threatened us in every way. This damn old thing..."

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists, his eyes burning with blazing flames.

Hearing this, Chu Ranxin smiled indifferently.

"So it was this old devil who was causing all this trouble. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter for you. At worst, we can just give her to..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, Chu Ranxin was slapped hard in the face.

Wen Chenxuan grabbed her arm, threw her to the ground, pointed at her nose and scolded her.

"You are really stupid. You want to attack the Queen Mother at this critical moment. Isn't it obvious that you will give people a reason to talk about you? Get out of here!"

Chu Ranxin covered her face and left crying.

Wen Chenxuan became more and more strange after becoming the emperor, and even his temper became more unpredictable.

Only at this moment did she realize what it meant to live with a king like living with a tiger!

As soon as Chu Ranxin left, Wen Chenxuan's confidant came and handed him a letter.

After reading the content, Wen Chenxuan raised his head and laughed.

"That's great. It's just as I expected. Now those idiots in Watten are asking us to cede two cities and become our vassal state..."

He didn't say the rest, his eyes were full of mockery.

The men beside him couldn't help laughing, "They think too simply. I can't believe they can be so ignorant."

"What's so strange about this? They are all barbarians, how can they understand great wisdom? You should immediately convey my order and ask them to wait for a while. I will cede the city to them after I have made up my mind."

Wen Chenxuan was afraid that they would not believe him, so he wrote a personal letter.

Although the poem was written with true feelings, the city was never mentioned at all.

The subordinate stood beside him, read the contents of the letter clearly, and frowned in frustration.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that it will be difficult to fool those people..."

Wen Chenxuan picked up the tea and took a sip.

"It doesn't matter! They were the ones who suffered the defeat, and they were the ones who took the initiative to seek peace. We have the weapons developed by Chu Weiyue, so we are not afraid of them attacking again. If they dare to invade again, we can just destroy them without worrying about being criticized."

The subordinate couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised him a few times before retreating.

The other side.

After receiving the letter, the chief of Waten's face instantly darkened to the extreme, and he grabbed the cup and smashed it to the ground.

"This abominable Wen Chenxuan is simply shameless. He actually dared to deceive this great king like this."

He was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned red.
