After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 282: What are you arguing with Wushuang about?

In Qi Wushuang's bedroom, Qi Wushuang, Ye Wuwei and Chu Fuchi sat and discussed.

However, Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei sat next to each other on one side, and Chu Fuchi sat opposite them, with a long table between them.

Chu Fuchi:

"The court will soon receive news of Grand Tutor Yuwen's uprising, and word will spread quickly among the people. Wushuang, have you thought about how to explain Pei Qing's accusation to the court officials and the people?"

The news was passed to Ye Wuwei by Qi'an's secret agent at the fastest speed. It would probably take a few days for the court to receive the news.

Ye Wuwei:

"Wushuang and Humuhan wrote a total of nine letters. I destroyed seven of them, leaving only two leaked. But Pei Qing said there were more than a dozen letters, which shows they were forged."

Chu Fuchi:

"Even if it was a forgery, how did Pei Qing know that Wushuang had offered Humuhan 50,000 dan of rice in exchange for killing 500 Embroidered Uniform Guards?"

Qi Wushuang:

"When the Northern Territory's Great Prince received the letter I wrote to Humu Khan, he did not keep it secret but questioned Humu Khan in front of many tribal leaders. Therefore, this matter is no longer a secret in the Northern Territory.

This news must have been obtained from the North, possibly by Pei Qing or Grand Tutor Yuwen."

Although the three of them were discussing something very important, Qi Wushuang didn't take it too seriously. He was still distracted by boiling water and making tea for Ye Wuwei.

He asked Ye Wuwei:

"Wuwei, you always have a lot of ideas. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Pei Qing's accusations are related. If you admit to killing the Embroidered Uniform Guards, everyone will automatically think that you were the one who killed the former emperor. They will think of you as a villain who killed his brother and seized the throne."

Chu Fuchi interjected:

"But if you don't admit it, how do you explain the killing of five hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards in the North?"

"I mean there are things that can be acknowledged, but in a different way."

Chu Fuchi was awakened by Ye Wuwei's words and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Chu Fuchi came up with a solution:

"Let's just say that the five hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards were sent by the former emperor to the Northland to conspire with the Northern Prince.

The former emperor agreed to give Mo Nan to the North and to pay a certain amount of silver and grain as tribute to the North every year, on the condition that the eldest prince of the North would frame Wushuang.

Wushuang had no other choice but to contact Humuhan and kill five hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards."

Ye Wuwei thought for a moment:

"That's a sound idea, but I still can't admit that Humuhan was allowed to kill 500 Embroidered Uniform Guards in exchange for 50,000 dan of rice."

Chu Fuchi was overwhelmed: "Then do you have any good ideas?"

“I haven’t figured out a perfect solution yet.”

Seeing Qi Wushuang, who was not in a hurry at all, making tea for Ye Wuwei and peeling pine nuts for him, Chu Fuchi said angrily:

"We've worked so hard to find a solution for you, but you don't care at all."

Qi Wushuang raised his head and glanced at Chu Fuchi:

"Isn't it fair that you guys think for me while I peel the pine nuts for Wuwei?"

Chu Fuchi was so angry that he almost died. He brought the pine nuts peeled by Qi Wushuang and the plate in front of him:

"In that case, this one belongs to me."

Qi Wushuang reached out to take the plate, "I peeled this for Wuwei, if you want to eat it, peel it yourself."

Chu Fuchi held the plate tightly to prevent Qi Wushuang from snatching it away.

Ye Wuwei rarely saw Chu Fuchi act so childishly, and laughed:

"You know Wushuang is not good at conspiracy, why are you arguing with him?"

Seeing Ye Wuwei helping him, Qi Wushuang became even more arrogant:

"You are the Prime Minister. If you don't plan for me, who will?"

"Then you are still the emperor."

"The emperor is only in charge of employing people, and planning is your job."

"You mean, except for Ye Wuwei, we are all just cattle and horses?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ye Wuwei grabbed Qi Wushuang's hand:

"Okay, this plate of pine nuts isn't peeled completely, so I'll give it to Fu Chi. You peel a new plate for me."

Qi Wushuang looked at the plate of pine nuts and it seemed that they were not peeled completely, so he let go, picked up another plate and started peeling pine nuts for Ye Wuwei.

Chu Fuchi was so angry that he stood up and wanted to leave!

Ye Wuwei looked at Chu Fuchi: "You are so angry, are you not living in harmony with your husband and wife?"

This one sentence successfully extinguished Chu Fuchi's anger.

He sat down again dejectedly: "Is it true that nothing can be hidden from you?"

Qi Wushuang became interested and turned his head to ask Ye Wuwei: "What happened to Fu Chi?"

Ye Wuwei hinted to Qi Wushuang: I’ll tell you later.

Qi Wushuang got the advantage but still acted ungratefully:

"Fu Chi, you should learn from Wu Wei and me in this regard. Wu Wei and I are very harmonious in every aspect."

Chu Fuchi sneered:

"Yes, you even say Ye Wuwei's farts are fragrant, natural and harmonious."

Ye Wuwei suddenly remembered that Qi Wushuang kissed him last night, and his face suddenly became hot.

The three of them discussed for a while, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Chu Fuchi said:

"Just looking at you two makes me angry. I'm leaving now and will think about it when I get back."

I have a day off tomorrow, or you can come back to discuss it tomorrow.
