The Creatures That We Are - Chapter 718: Not Good Enough

What does it feel like to take the young prince who has traveled through a thousand years of time on a parent-child variety show?Mu Ran says: It feels great.The child doesn't need much care.And he can help me clear my name.Before the variety show aired:[I still vividly remember the scene where she yelled at my brother on set!][Haha, the director team is impressive for inviting this ancestor. Hope her yelling won't constantly flood the live stream!][Is she even fit to bring a child? Is she here to present a negative example?]......After the variety show aired:[Director Mu, you are my god!][Wuwuwu, the little guy is so well-behaved and handsome, I can't tell if he's my internet son or my internet husband.][You beasts, all coveting the little guy. I'm different, Director Mu, please marry me, I love you ahhhhh!!]......Mu Ran scrolls through Weibo and likes a friend's post, appreciating her courage to propose.A certain man sees this and says sourly, “Stop thinking about others. You can only be my wife, we have the red marriage certificate, legally protected.”Mu Ran rolls her eyes.It's enough that the Empress sent the little angel child here.How could she also send a man over?Truly...Happy.

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Notes:
(1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.
