Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 327 Returning home

Prince Chun was stunned for a moment.

He had rarely seen Eunuch Fu Yue so flustered and at a loss, after all, he was the pillar of strength by his side.

Fu Yue glanced at Yuan Cuo, his eyes deep and full of scrutiny and suspicion.

Yuan Cuo smiled and said, "Your Highness, please continue with your business. I will take my leave now." He flicked his long sleeves and left without pausing. He was truly anxious to go home and see his wife.

Prince Chun did not immediately open the letter in his hand. No matter what happened, he could not let outsiders see through his secret, especially since this was in the palace.

He also hurriedly left with Eunuch Fuyue and returned to the Prince Chun's Mansion.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?!"

He stepped into the palace and immediately activated the communication function.

The western region was robbed by bandits. Not only were the royal guards severely damaged, but the money, food, and armory were all emptied, and even his residence, the royal palace, was ransacked!

Who could have done this?

“This is definitely not some bandit from the wilderness!” Prince Chun, unable to support himself, staggered and almost fell. “No wonder he was so calm and collected. It turns out he directly surrounded my territory. I’m going back to the palace to ask him about it!”

The person Prince Chun thought of was Emperor Qi Xiao!

Who else but him would have the guts?!

“It’s no use asking him. His Majesty won’t admit it, and besides, it might not even be His Majesty. Don’t forget, the Third Prince has been sent to Huai Prefecture, and His Majesty has given him a strict order to replace the border troops’ equipment within the specified time. Moreover, this old servant heard that when he was desperate, he had already resorted to many dirty tricks,” Eunuch Fuyue said in a low voice.

Prince Chun was pale, his fists clenched, and his face contorted with rage and ferocity. He resembled a raging beast, ready to explode at any moment.

"How could a mere prince have such audacity?" He continued to question Qin Muyan.

Eunuch Fuyue said, "Your Highness, you are also a prince."

Prince Chun: "..."

"Moreover, the Third Prince is already desperate. Holding onto military power and equipping the army with supplies is his last chance," Eunuch Fuyue asserted.

Suddenly, the image of Yuan Cuo popped into Prince Chun's mind. "Is it possible that it was Yuan Cuo?"

Eunuch Fu Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Does it matter who they are now? They are all His Majesty's sons."

Neither the Crown Prince, Qin Muyan, nor Yuan Cuo are Prince Chun's children; they are loyal to His Majesty.

"Does the palace know about this news?" Prince Chun tried to calm himself down.

Eunuch Fuyue shook his head. "I don't know. If you don't report this to His Highness, the Third Prince won't say anything either."

Prince Chun quickly issued an order, "Calculate the exact extent of the losses..." He had already hurriedly returned to his study and taken out his special stationery and pen.

His cursive script flowed freely, the white strokes of ink mirroring his inner anger.

After writing it, he handed the letter to Fu Yue, saying, "Go back to the west and be sure to deliver this letter there personally."

Fu Yue's eyes froze. "What is this...?"

"His home has already been destroyed, what do I have to worry about? What I can't have, he can't have at ease either." Prince Chun sneered, "He won't be able to shake off the name of a tyrant for all time!"

Eunuch Fuyue realized that His Highness had completely gone mad. "Shouldn't you reconsider? Besides, we haven't even found out exactly who it is yet."

"I know what I'm doing. You just need to handle this matter well, and you don't need to go to the capital again." Prince Chun left these words and returned to his room alone.

He was afraid of the word "separation".

After all, Fu Yue had been with him for decades and was even closer to him than his father and empress dowager.

Even Eunuch Fuyue hadn't expected to be separated from Prince Chun. He bowed deeply in the direction Prince Chun had left. Then he turned and took a few steps into the courtyard before disappearing lightly, like a willow catkin floating in the air, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Cuo returned to the Princess's residence, which had been tidied up, and they were to return to the Liu family today.

Liu Musheng specially brought people to pick him up, after all, he was too lonely living alone in the Liu family. He was very happy to learn that Yuan Cuo was not going to the Viscount's mansion, so he came over happily.

“Actually, there’s no need to wait for you to come back. I can take my sister back first. After court, you can go straight back to the Liu family.” He really didn’t understand why Princess Chen had to wait until Yuan Cuo to release her.

Princess Chen glared at him fiercely, too lazy to bother with the rules anymore.

She looked at Yuan Cuo, "Are you sure you can stay in the capital until after the baby is born at the beginning of the month? Things are changing every day in the palace, and I'm always uneasy about it."

"No matter what changes in the palace, I can simply resign from my post. I will definitely protect my wife, so please rest assured, Princess." Yuan Cuo was wearing a purple viscount's brocade robe and had his hair tied up with a silver crown. Others would have to kneel and kowtow to him, but he didn't care about the title and official position at all, treating them like a tattered rag that he could discard at any time.

Liu Yuechu naturally understood why he didn't care, but Princess Chen scolded him for talking nonsense, "You have made such great contributions to the Great Qi, your official position should have been promoted, how can you just throw it away like that? You are not allowed to talk such nonsense again, you are going to be a father!"

Yuan Cuo quickly admitted his mistake, then turned around and saw Liu Yuechu's sly smile.

Princess Chen lingered with Liu Yuechu for a few more minutes before finally letting her go. "I'll go to the Liu family to see you in a couple of days..." His Majesty had ordered Liu Yuechu to return to her residence, but he hadn't said she couldn't go to the Liu family.

Liu Yuechu was naturally very happy to agree, "Then I'll go back and wait!"

Yuan Cuo helped Liu Yuechu into the carriage. The Viscount's mansion was much more magnificent and grand than before.

The number of maids and servants doubled, and the number of guards was also increased. Moreover, Yuan Cuo was the commander of the secret guards, and his aura was so imposing that strangers were almost forbidden to approach.

The Princess's residence and the Liu family's residence were not too far apart, but this move took almost half an hour.

"...If we're talking about showing off, the young master is truly the best in the Liu family, even surpassing the eldest son." Granny Fang returned to the mansion and busied herself with the maids moving things out and putting them back in their places. "It's just a short distance; I could walk there and back in no time, but he took so long!"

"He also wanted people in the capital to know that he was back." Liu Yuechu, however, liked Yuan Cuo's deliberately low-key arrogance. "Although the Princess's mansion is very nice, it's still more relaxing to be back home. I don't have to change my clothes and do my hair every day."

Princess Chen, after all, had to follow the rules, and she had to accompany her to meet people from time to time.

Granny Fang also stretched her limbs. She had been following Liu Yuechu for a long time and was feeling tired from staying at the Princess's residence. "How about we make some fish tonight? And some chicken soup?"

"I want to eat the noodles my husband makes for me." Liu Yuechu had dreamed about it several times before he returned.

As Huajiao entered from outside, she overheard this: "Someone from the palace just came looking for the young master. It seems he has to go to the palace. You won't be able to have noodles today."

Liu Yuechu was dumbfounded. "I just got back this afternoon, and they came looking for me tonight?"
