Chapter 933

Husband, how do you plan to deal with the eleventh?

On the way back to the town, Yu Yan Chu endured for a long time, and finally she still asked that question.

Although she knew that asking this question given her current status was most inappropriate.

"That depends on her performance." Chen Wuji said, "But you don't need to worry; I currently have no intention of taking her life, and based on her relationship with Yan Yan, I will keep her around."

After saying that, Chen Wuji suddenly laughed and asked, "Is what I said wrong? The princess probably doesn't mean to kill her off early, does she?"

"Husband, stop teasing me; you must have already guessed what I'm thinking." Yu Yan Chu murmured softly, "Also, I'd like to ask you not to call me princess anymore; wife or lady sounds much better to me than princess."

"But I like calling you princess, especially in bed, it's more charming!" Chen Wuji whispered in Yu Yan Chu's ear, "It gives the feeling of a Mud Leg who suddenly rises to fame and glory, with a magnificent aura."

Yu Yan Chu's cheeks flushed instantly, her expression becoming a bit flustered and nervous; she gave Chen Wuji an annoyed sideways glance, "If you want to hear it, you can shout it then; at other times..."

Midway through speaking, she was too embarrassed to continue.

Before she could finish speaking, the image in her mind had become so clear that her body felt a little limp.

Chen Wuji burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I will definitely give the princess face, but how well Yu Yan Chu's sister fares here depends on the princess's performance."

At this moment, Chen Wuji was completely a full-blown villain, as if he were about to say, "You don't want anything to happen to your sister, do you..."

Yu Yan Chu was stunned for a moment before realizing what Chen Wuji meant.

After going around in circles, it still came down to bedroom matters.

She resentfully said, "Isn't my performance good enough? After the fatigue of travel, the first rest upon returning I dove into your bed; throughout history, there has never been an Elder Princess as easily and hastily given as me."

"That's Qin Zhanhong's achievement; don't flatter yourself, that doesn't count!" Chen Wuji said, "What I want is your initiative; being urged or half-coerced by others doesn't count."

Yu Yan Chu: ……

Speechless, she almost bit her silver teeth.

Although that day she was indeed dragged by Qin Zhanhong, shoved and pushed there, the blame still fell on her, the deed was done by her, and she wasn't incapable.

"I understand; it's just about being proactive, I'll learn." Yu Yan Chu said through gritted teeth.

"We've already slept together several times; from now on just being a bit more active and trying some tricks—what's the big deal?"

Chen Wuji nodded with a chuckle, unable to suppress his anticipation.

"Her front‑protruding, rear‑curving model figure, a pure face unforgettable at a glance—if we add some tricks..."

"It will definitely be super great!"

"Aren't you going to ask what big matter I discussed with Yu Yan Chu's sister?" Chen Wuji asked strangely.

Yu Yan Chu shook her head, "Although I am indeed a bit curious, the harem must not interfere in politics; I understand that boundary, so if you don't tell me I won't ask, and I won't inquire privately either."

Chen Wuji stared, "The harem must not interfere in politics—goodness, I haven't even prepared to rebel against your father, yet you've already gotten ready to rebel against him?"

"It's not that I've prepared; it's my imperial father, who hopes you will properly rebel." Yu Yan Chu's expression suddenly grew somewhat gloomy as she let out a long breath.

Chen Wuji:???

He looked at Yu Yan Chu in disbelief, his expression like constipation, "Do you know what you're saying? His Majesty the Emperor wants me to properly rebel? Is that something a person can hear?"

Yu Yan Chu said solemnly, "It's true; this is what my imperial father personally told me before I left, not a single word false—I can still vividly recall his expression then. I just don't remember his exact wording, but I still clearly remember the meaning."

"He told me, the world is in chaos and needs to be utterly thrown into disorder; as the lord of all under heaven, he can no longer control the direction of the world ahead, and fragmentation is likely inevitable."

"He said that in the past few years, those rebellious ministers and traitors would still hide their true colors a bit, but now they don't even bother to conceal them. Especially when he learned that even his most trusted Imperial Uncle was preparing to rebel against him, he realized that this realm, he had utterly lost the ability to protect it."

Chen Wuji: ……

"This emperor is quite rare, actually able to say such things."

But Chen Wuji still harbored doubts in his heart.

He listened to Yu Yan Chu's words very seriously, yet he didn't believe a single word.

Nor did he dare to believe them.

This young lady is also quite the actress.

No matter how sincere and genuine her performance, what she says could still be false.

It's merely going through the motions.

Although Chen Wuji had long since overturned his earlier speculations with Xu Zengyi about the emperor, he still hadn't reached the point of complete complacency; put another way, before everything is finally settled, Chen Wuji will continue to hold this suspicion.

Just as the well-known eight‑character maxim goes: boldly hypothesize, carefully verify.

Before everything is settled, any excessive confidence is a disrespect for one's own life.

"How could the emperor say such things to you—why would he do that?" Chen Wuji asked.

Yu Yan Chu fell silent for a moment, then with a hint of worry she whispered, "My father… my imperial father says he now has very few things he can do; on the surface he seems to be helping you, but in reality he's just trying to curry favor with you."

"What he ought to do and can do has already fallen far short; even if he tries his best, the situation probably won't improve much, so he needs a fallback, a way for the Yu clan to barely survive."

"My imperial father says this decision was extremely difficult for him, and he put in a lot of effort to understand you; this proves that you are one of the few true heroes and true gentlemen in the world today."

"He said that if you ultimately seize the realm, he will certainly give the Yu clan a way to survive, and will not kill them out of fear that they might rise again. Therefore my imperial father hopes you will properly rebel, striving to attack the capital region while he still has some use as emperor, and accept his abdication."

Chen Wuji remained silent for a long while; hearing this, it felt genuine and sincere.

The emperor seemed to have laid his heart bare before him.

Too bad, he still maintained his doubts.

Chuckling lightly, Chen Wuji said, "His Majesty the Emperor's gall is truly great; back then, if it weren't for the civil and military officials around him blocking me, thinking it would harm the heavenly way and human harmony, I might really have leveled the wheels to execute the Qiang People. He actually considers me a gentleman—those two words… are somewhat unfamiliar to me."
