Chapter 147 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
"Liu Chutang, an orphan? I really underestimated you."
Wen Yingchen raised his eyes indifferently and looked at Liu Chutang.
Liu Chutang raised an eyebrow slightly, without any guilt, "I am an orphan, but I didn't say that I was an orphan who couldn't do anything."
She is indeed an orphan, but she didn't say she had a simple background.
Wen Yingchen didn't figure it out himself, so how can he blame her?
Liu Chutang glanced at Wen Yingchen, met his eyes, and smiled, "Lord Wen, I have prepared the divorce papers. Please sign them tomorrow."
Since they are not going to carry out the previous plan, Wen Yingchen is no longer of any use to them.
Moreover, she wasn't that bold or at ease using a love rival.
Wen Yingchen had no objection: "Agreed."
He nodded and said, "Rather than divorce, I think we have other things to discuss."
For example, the matter of cooperating against Emperor Kangning and Xiao Lanyi.
Liu Chutang narrowed her eyes slightly, sizing up Wen Yingchen, and glanced thoughtfully at Emperor Kangning and Xiao Lanyi, who were about to fight.
"Actually, there's no need to discuss it."
Song Xuean interjected.
She felt that cooperation was unnecessary.
Given her cousin's (the emperor's) temperament, he would definitely deal with Xiao Lanyi first. By the time the two have decided who is the victor, she and Liu Chutang might already be running around the world with Leyan.
With Xiao Lanyi drawing Emperor Kangning's hatred away, they have a lot of room to maneuver.
Wen Yingchen neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply said, "Going against an emperor is never a good chance of winning."
Perhaps Emperor Kangning would restrain himself in front of Leyan, but behind her back, who knows how he might arrange for people to take their lives.
Based on Wen Yingchen's understanding of Emperor Kangning, he was certain that as soon as they left Leyan's sight, they would be assassinated.
Song Xue'an remained silent, wanting to say that it was indeed true.
Liu Chutang subconsciously touched her sachet, gave Nan Yi a look, and the two of them lowered their eyes.
Otherwise, why don't they try to use a curse on Emperor Kangning?
Liu Chutang was considering the feasibility of this matter.
Emperor Kangning had already turned his gaze to them, and said in a low voice, "What, are you planning to join forces against me?"
He first looked at Song Xue'an, a half-smile on his face: "Didn't my cousin dream of going to the frontier to fight the enemy? What, are you giving up on your long-cherished wish?"
He then looked at Wen Yingchen, "What about Ziyun? Does he also want to give up the position of Grand Secretary?"
Emperor Kangning only spoke to Song Xue'an and Wen Yingchen. Although he was wary of Liu Chutang, he didn't show much concern for her.
At most, I'm just curious about where this person came from.
Liu Chutang was happy to be spared his attention.
Song Xuean and Wen Yingchen remained silent in response to his words.
Emperor Kangning's words struck them deeply.
That leaves them speechless.
After a moment of deep thought with her eyes lowered, Song Xue'an looked up and said, "It all depends on what my cousin thinks, but it's impossible for me to stay away from Yan Yan."
Wen Yingchen didn't speak, or rather, from this moment on, no one spoke.
Until Xiao Lanyi suddenly had a brilliant idea. He looked at Liu Chutang and extended an olive branch, "Miss Liu, we can actually get along."
"After all, we were partners once."
He said he always felt that Liu Chutang's martial arts style was familiar to Nan Yi's. Just now, a flash of inspiration struck him and he finally remembered that she was the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang and the group of people he had been cooperating with for many years.
Since we've collaborated before, it's not impossible for us to continue collaborating in the future.
Despite the stares of the crowd, Xiao Lanyi smiled eerily and said, "Miss Liu, if you're willing, we can accompany Qingqing together."
It's just a matter of accepting the presence of other people around the person he loves. He can accept it, as long as they join forces to deal with the annoying Xiao Qi and Wen Yingchen!
Having understood Xiao Lanyi's meaning, Liu Chutang fell silent.
The others also fell silent.
Emperor Kangning was the first to erupt in anger: "Xiao Lanyi! If you want to go crazy, go crazy yourself!"
Has Xiao Lanyi finally lost her mind?! She actually wants to spend time with Liu Chutang and be by Leyan's side!
Xiao Lanyi rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not crazy. If you can have three palaces and six courtyards, why can't Qingqing have three palaces and six courtyards too?"
He could tell that during this time together, Qingqing had become particularly close to Liu Chutang and listened to her.
Song Xuean is another one.
In the scene just now, Qingqing didn't refute Liu Chutang and Song Xuean's words, and even her sitting posture subconsciously leaned towards the two of them.
Therefore, cooperating with them increases the chances of success.
Xiao Lanyi's attitude was clear, which made Wen Yingchen's eyes flicker.
This method is undeniably effective.
Especially for him.
With too many rivals and having appeared too late, he had never had a chance to spend time with Leyan. If someone could give him a helping hand, perhaps he could achieve his wish.
As for possessiveness, he does have it, but it's not strong.
After all, he knew his own limitations; he had arrived far too late.
After figuring it out, while Xiao Lanyi was confronting Emperor Kangning, Wen Yingchen smiled and extended an invitation to Liu Chutang and Song Xuean to cooperate: "Gentlemen, would you like to cooperate? I don't ask for much, just to be able to accompany her."
His main concern was Emperor Kangning, who was, after all, the ruler of a country, and whose power was beyond what he could handle alone.
Therefore, he really needs help.
He believed that Song Xuean and Liu Chutang needed it too.
They are smart people; they know how to make the right choice.
Wen Yingchen looked at the two of them, who were indeed deep in thought.
"It seems...we could give it a try?"
Liu Chutang spoke softly to Song Xuean.
After they've dealt with Emperor Kangning together, they'll figure out a way to get rid of this eyesore of a man.
Yan Yan should only have them by her side.
Song Xuean and Liu Chutang exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.
Led by Liu Chutang, she smiled at Wen Yingchen and said, "Then, it's a pleasure to work together."
Wen Yingchen smiled slightly. "It's a pleasure working with you."
If the collaboration ends and you want to get rid of him, you'll have to see if you have the ability to do so.
Lowering his eyes to hide the turmoil within, Wen Yingchen's lips gradually straightened.
Thus, while Xiao Lanyi was still arguing and confronting Emperor Kangning, his idea led to the cooperation between Wen Yingchen, Liu Chutang, and Song Xuean.
By the time Xiao Lanyi came to her senses, the others had already sat down to one side, forming a group.
Xiao Lanyi's eyes widened instantly, and she moved closer in a flash, exclaiming, "Miss Liu?!"
Wasn't it supposed to be a collaboration with him? How did it become Wen Yingchen?!
Liu Chutang shrugged. "You can join if you want."
They should join forces to deal with Emperor Kangning first, and deal with the rest later.
Xiao Lanyi immediately nodded, "Okay, let's deal with him together."
Enraged by being targeted by all sides, Emperor Kangning laughed coldly, "You think you can deal with me?"
They suddenly joined forces; it seems he really is a big threat.
