The Princess's Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father-Chapter 186: The Crown Prince of Chu is in Love with Longyang
Chapter 186
[Holy cow, so that's how it is! No wonder the system's evaluation of the Chu State Princess is so high.]
[She's so important in the elite catalog because she's a potential candidate to become the next emperor of Chu State!]
Xiao Chuchu finally understood that the system hadn't tricked her this time.
This Chu State Princess, occupying five elite positions by herself, was indeed worth it.
Xiao Yunzhou listened in astonishment, looked at Princess Yun Wu, and recalling what his daughter had said about the surge in favorability, he understood as well.
[She must have heard my old man say he's willing to make me, his daughter, his successor, disregarding his son. Now she's completely infatuated with Jing Country.]
Xiao Chuchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[But I'm just a baby! This princess is too quick to believe my old man's nonsense.]
Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, realizing this favorability came without any effort.
But as Xiao Yunzhou looked at Princess Yun Wu, he felt nervous for her, knowing that the current Chu King had long ago appointed a crown prince.
Unlike him, who had been enlightened by the immortal and knew that in the Immortal Realm, men and women were equal.
He was willing to give the throne to the immortal, but that didn't mean the old-fashioned Chu King would be happy to do so.
He felt that Princess Yun Wu's ambition for the throne was unlikely to succeed.
"Brother Liu, why do you have such an open mind? Don't you think the position of family head should be given to sons and grandsons?" Princess Yun Wu paid great attention to Xiao Yunzhou's answer, clearly hoping to find a reason to influence her own father.
But Xiao Yunzhou shook his head and sighed, "Brother Yun, you are of Chu, while I am of Jing."
"As Chaniang said, in our Jing Country, the status of women will gradually improve. In the future, the difference between men and women will become smaller and smaller."
"What's so strange about me passing the throne to my daughter?"
Yun Wu listened, her eyes trembling with emotion.
If these words had come from the Seasons sisters, she would have been skeptical. If they had come from an ordinary merchant of Jing Country, she wouldn't have taken them seriously.
But these words came from the emperor of Jing Country, and Yun Wu was deeply moved.
Seeing the Chu State Princess's excitement and admiration for Jing Country, Xiao Yunzhou suddenly felt a surge of superiority. "Don't be envious, Brother Yun. It's not your fault you're from Chu."
Hearing these words, Princess Yun Wu looked at the swaddled Xiao Chuchu, her eyes flashing with deep envy.
Xiao Yunzhou was thoroughly pleased.
Tsk tsk, this feeling of showing off.
He never thought that now he could not only show off in front of his own court officials but also in front of a Chu State Princess!
If this Chu State Princess really became the next Chu King and admired him so much, wouldn't Jing Country rise to prominence?!
Xiao Yunzhou was suddenly tempted.
"Could it be that your father values women, so you've been influenced by that?" Yun Wu asked curiously.
"No, it's my daughter..." Xiao Yunzhou blurted out, but seeing Princess Yun Wu's dumbfounded expression, he quickly stopped himself. "Ahem, it's my daughter's mother."
Princess Yun Wu suddenly understood.
Xiao Yunzhou's gaze also moved to Liu Chaniang, who was sewing in the distance, and he revealed an expression of approval. freewebnσvel.cøm
By this time, Liu Chaniang had finished her sewing.
After she stood up, almost all the onlooking commoners were in awe and praise.
"Can women also save people?"
"She stitched up several badly torn wounds just now?"
"Did she really save him?"
"I know this Doctor Meng, he's the uncle of Meng Chun, the military camp doctor! He was a famous skilled physician years ago! If even he needs this woman to stitch wounds, this woman must be a famous doctor too!"
"Female doctor, can you take a look at my illness too?"
"Female doctor, can you check on my mother?"
The common people couldn't distinguish between external injuries and internal ailments, they only knew they had witnessed Liu Chaniang's miraculous skill in saving people.
The hunter was now sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed.
Even Doctor Meng said that if he didn't develop a fever after a night of observation, he would likely be fine.
This was simply miraculous!
On the spot, some women asked Liu Chaniang to examine them.
There were some women's diseases that female family members were too embarrassed to discuss with male doctors, so they had endured for years without seeking medical attention.
But now, having witnessed the medical skills of Liu Chaniang, a female doctor, they were tempted.
Liu Chaniang was surrounded, and looking at the earnest eyes of the women, she suddenly realized that to improve women's treatment and respect, efforts were needed in all aspects!
They needed female doctors!
"I apologize to everyone, I'm not skilled in internal medicine, currently I only specialize in external wound suturing," Liu Chaniang said apologetically to the surrounding women.
But she turned and sincerely looked at the famous doctor Meng Can, who had been invited by Xiao Yunzhou for this free clinic.
"Doctor Meng, Chaniang has an unreasonable request. I wonder if you would be willing to teach women the medical skills to treat women's diseases."
Meng Can was somewhat surprised, and the observing Princess Yun Wu was even more moved.
"What a great idea, teaching women the medical skills for women's diseases!" Yun Wu was so excited that she even forgot her disguise as a Chu merchant and stood up.
She had thought she was the most ambitious woman in the world, harboring treasonous thoughts, wanting to compete with her younger brother, the crown prince, for the throne!
But she never expected that today, in front of this concubine Liu from Jing Country's harem, she would have ambition but no action!
What right did she have to become the next Chu King?
If she could, then this Liu consort with far-reaching actions could also be a king! No wonder the Jing Country emperor was willing to leave the throne to her young daughter!
At this moment, Yun Wu didn't even care about the discord between her father and the previous Jing King. She very much wanted to meet this Liu consort and make her acquaintance.
"Relieving the worries of women all over the world, you truly are the most extraordinary woman under heaven, madam."
"May I have a word with you in private?"
[Oh my, the Princess has been captivated by my mother's charm~]
Xiao Chuchu was enjoying the drama unfold.
[The system is telling me that the Princess wishes she had met my mother earlier to become close friends.]
Xiao Yunzhou: "!"
His temple twitched.
The Chu State Princess wanting to become friends with them wasn't just Jing Country poaching from Chu State!
It was practically poaching from the Chu State royal palace!
How thrilling!
Xiao Yunzhou almost burst into laughter but managed to hold it back.
[The system has rewarded me with additional information about Chu State!]
[Holy crap, the current Crown Prince of Chu State, who is Princess Yun Wu's younger brother, is homosexual and very much in love with his eunuch!]
Xiao Yunzhou almost exclaimed out loud.
How come his spies hadn't reported this good news to him?!
[Both the Queen and Princess Yun Wu know about this and are keeping it from the Chu King.]
[Since ten years ago, the Queen has secretly dispersed more than a dozen delicate-looking young eunuchs from around the Crown Prince. But the Crown Prince still can't shake off his preference for male love.]
[Oh my goodness, the system showed me a photo of this crown prince. Good grief, those dark circles and eye bags: he looks utterly exhausted. It's clear he's been overindulging in certain activities.]
[Oh boy, his intelligence is only 58, and his combat ability is 18. I can't help but laugh... Is this really the capability of the Chu State's crown prince?]
Xiao Yunzhou listened, utterly entranced.
Initially, he had hoped for Princess Yun Wu to ascend to the throne, envisioning a future of good relations with Jing Country.
But upon hearing that the Chu crown prince was incompetent, he was secretly delighted.
With this good-for-nothing in power, wouldn't Chu State crumble immediately?
Xiao Yunzhou thought he should go home tonight and burn incense for the late emperor, sharing this wonderful news!
However, his joy was short-lived as Xiao Chuchu's next inner thought left him astounded.
[Oh my, this crown prince may be useless, but he's surrounded by his beloved Four Tiger Eunuchs! The prince listens to them intently, even telling the Empress that if these four were killed, he would take his own life.]
[Neither the Empress nor Princess Yun Wu dare to make any rash moves.]
[But among the four eunuchs close to the crown prince, one is a warmonger.]
[Every day, during their intimate moments in the prince's chambers, this eunuch whispers in his ear, urging him to wage war as soon as he ascends to the throne.]

[He believes that only in chaotic times can true heroes emerge. This warmongering eunuch isn't content with just being a eunuch; he aspires to become the regent and seize control of all Chu State's military power!]
Xiao Yunzhou drew a deep breath.
Jing Country shared a border with Chu State.
If such a person came to power, Jing would never know peace!
[The crown prince is addicted to male companionship, uneducated, and easily swayed. No wonder Princess Yun Wu wants to take his place!]
[Otherwise, Chu State will likely be ruined... and we, being their neighbors, might get caught in the crossfire.]
Xiao Yunzhou's gaze flickered, looking with complexity towards Princess Yun Wu, who was attempting to befriend Liu Chaniang.
If such a warmonger were to take power, perhaps this benevolent princess would be the better option.
"Brother Yun," Xiao Yunzhou approached earnestly, cradling his daughter, "I noticed you seemed quite envious of my willingness to establish a woman as the head of the family."
"I wonder, do you have any female relatives who aspire to become the family head?"
"If there's an intelligent woman," Xiao Yunzhou squinted, looking through the sunlight towards Princess Yun Wu, "who wishes to become the family head but is thwarted, with an incompetent man occupying the position—"
"As a man myself, I find it hard to stand by. I'd be willing to support such an overlooked woman in taking over!"
As he spoke, he forgot that he had previously claimed anonymously to have the surname Liu, creating a discrepancy.
But Princess Yun Wu was so shocked by his words that she didn't even notice.
"Brother, what do you mean by this!?" Princess Yun Wu feigned great anger.
Xiao Yunzhou was startled but soon laughed inwardly.
[Holy cow, Princess Yun Wu's favorability has shot up to 67%!]
