Su Mu'er also felt that it was time for them to leave. No matter whether the emperor of Guning Kingdom was alive or dead, Liu Jin would not be able to escape for a while, and it was meaningless for them to stay here.
So, they immediately decided to leave Guning Country and go to neighboring Fengnan Country to continue selling their salt.
It was already ten days after the emperor was buried.
Liu Jin was pushed to the throne in this way. With his face full of ignorance and his mind full of blanks, he sat on this high throne and watched the ministers paying homage. He was a little at a loss.
Don't know what to do.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother is here. She knows that Liu Jin has a weak temper, so she has to listen to politics behind the curtain for the time being so that she can make decisions for Liu Jin at any time.
When Liu Jin had time to send someone to look for Qing'er in the post house, he felt really heartbroken when he learned that they had left.
The Queen Mother looked at his devastated look and couldn't help but feel angry.
"Jin'er, you are the emperor of Guning Kingdom now, you can no longer be emotional."
But he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If I can't marry the woman I love as an emperor, then what's the point of being an emperor?"
"Jin'er."
The queen suddenly raised her voice in displeasure, "Your father died of a fit of anger because he disagreed with you and Qing'er being together. Don't you want to learn a lesson? Do you want to piss your mother off to death?"
"I don't dare."
Liu Jin's expression was a little gloomy. He glanced at the Queen Mother and said again:
"I don't know where I went wrong. I don't want to be the emperor. You forced me to do it. I only have one request now, let Qing'er be my queen, otherwise I won't want this throne."
After saying that, he directly took off the golden crown from his head and put it on the table, "My son does not want to be an unfaithful and unfilial person, so I ask my mother to make the decision."
The Empress Dowager's face was suddenly filled with darkness. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth:
"You are forcing your mother."
"It's my mother who is forcing me."
Liu Jin suddenly roared hysterically, "If I, the emperor, can't even make my own decisions as a woman, then what's the point of being him? It would be better to be a country woman."
"Jin'er."
The queen suddenly sighed softly, "If you hadn't insisted on your own way, how could your father have died of heart disease? You have to consider the overall situation. You are the emperor of Guning Kingdom, how could you marry a bandit to be the queen? This is out of love.
It’s unreasonable.”
"Please don't forget, Queen Mother, I was also a bandit before, and I have been a bandit for longer than Qing'er."
His words made the queen speechless.
The mother and son were in a stalemate here, neither of them willing to bow first.
Su Muer and his party soon arrived at Fengnan Country, which was separated from the Eastern Jin State by the Guning State, so there was no enmity or grudge with the Eastern Jin State, and there was not even any trade.
They soon arrived at Yangjun Chengfu Yamen, the capital of Fengnan Kingdom.
Mr. Fuya is a relatively kind person. When Su Muer and the others explained their intention to come, he readily agreed and asked them to contact the people from the Ministry of Revenue, and arranged for them to stay in the post house and meet with the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The time will be notified separately.
Back at the post house, Su Muer really felt a little tired, but before she could lie down, Ye Shihan came in again.
She frowned angrily, "Can you please stop disturbing my sleep?"
Ye Shihan closed the door directly, came to her bedside and whispered:
"Mu'er, do you feel that this trip went too smoothly?"
"Isn't it smooth?"
She glared at him angrily, "Don't you think of the worst in everything?"
Ye Shihan pursed his lips helplessly,
"I just said what I felt. If you don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say it."
"Why don't you go out then? I want to sleep."
After saying that, she leaned her head inside without looking at him.
But she felt that he hadn't left, and even wanted to attack her. She sat up hurriedly and looked at him with an unhappy face.
"What are you going to do? Why don't you go back to sleep?"
"If you can't sleep, let me rub your legs. I've been walking for a day and I see you are very tired."
"No, I'm not tired."
She refused coldly, but he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he took her feet and put them on his legs domineeringly, and then squeezed them gently.
This force made her feel very comfortable. She squinted her eyes slightly and yawned, but did not stop him.
Anyway, his temper is like this. The more you try to stop him, the more stubborn he becomes, so you might as well let him go.
That night, she slept soundly, and it wasn't until the afterglow of the morning shone into the room that she slowly opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Shihan sitting and sleeping at the end of her bed. Her legs were still on his legs, and his hands were still squeezing her feet.
She couldn't help but frown, and whispered softly, "This fool."
"Who is the fool?"
Ye Shihan looked at her with half-squinted eyes, and pinched her ankle playfully, "Even if he is a fool, he will only be stupid for you."
After listening to his words, she looked at him helplessly, and then sat up awkwardly.
"It's getting late. Get up. Someone will look at you later."
"Are you afraid of being seen with me?"
Why does this Ye Shihan like to be so aggressive?
She frowned and hit him on the forehead, "Of course I'm afraid. I hope to find a good man to marry in the future."
She said this deliberately to anger him. She didn't even want to find a man like him, so why would she look for another man?
But when Ye Shihan heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He threw her feet down on the bed, got up and got off the ground, put on his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and left.
Looking at his angry back, Su Muer felt like she couldn't laugh or cry. She was just joking, why did he take it so seriously?
But he took it seriously. He went back to the room alone and became sulky. He didn't even pay attention to Liu Hai asking him to eat.
In the end, Liu Hai had no choice but to ask Doudou for help. Doudou looked at his father lying on the bed, staring blankly, pouted and muttered,
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Who messed with you?"
Seeing Doudou coming, Ye Shihan turned over and sat up as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He looked at Doudou with his eyes and began to pour out the bitter water.
"Your mother wants to marry someone else, but she doesn't want to marry a good man like me. If she wants to marry someone else, she wants to find you a stepfather. Can you bear it?"
Doudou shook his head innocently and in confusion, "I can't bear it."
Hearing what his son said, Ye Shihan nodded heavily,
"Yes, I can't bear it, your father. I'm not doing it for her. I can't let her find a stepfather for my son and make my son suffer."
After hearing this, Doudou raised his hand and scratched his head, and then said thoughtfully:
"It's better than this. If mother finds another man, Doudou will live with you, dad. Anyway, what you care about is not mother, but Doudou."
