Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1136 - 1133 Planning
Chapter 1136: Chapter 1133 Planning
Chu Heng knew that Emperor Xuanming had genuinely considered establishing the Eldest Imperial Son as the Crown Prince, but… the latter’s lack of scholarship deeply disappointed the Emperor, and thus, in the end, he permanently lost the throne.
As King Qi and the Fifth Imperial Son struggled against each other, both families suffered a tragic defeat, annoying Emperor Xuanming to the point where Duke Zheng’s property was confiscated, the Noble Consort was left in the Cold Palace, and the Qi family was demoted. Ultimately, it enabled the young Fourth Prince to seize the throne.
In hindsight, it had all just happened within a span of ten years.
Emperor Xuanming, originally in excellent health, had his health ruined by poison amidst the struggle between the Qi family and the Liu family, causing him to pass away in the prime of his life.
Duke Zheng wanted a prince who would be a pawn. The Fourth Prince was not easy to control. His actions today likely served as a test for the Fourth Prince, and possibly as a way to ruin him as well.
The existence of Madam Tang would only make Duke Zheng increasingly insane!
...
“What are you thinking about?” Ye Muyu saw him fall into deep thought after listening to her and feared she had said something wrong.
But upon reflection, she didn’t feel there was any issue with her words.
Chu Heng moved his lips, uncertain how to tell Ye Muyu, “Madam Tang’s existence will affect some situations. Duke Zheng might either try to win me over or eliminate me.”
“We might need to keep a lower profile once we arrive in the capital,” Chu Heng said vaguely.
Ye Muyu stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Chu Heng. Noticing his furrowed brows, she suddenly guessed something as she understood the rationale behind it.
Could it be that Madam Tang was also reincarnated?
That would be the only way her words could affect the court’s dynamics. After all, Duke Zheng was a Power Minister among power ministers. Only if he was influenced by Madam Tang and took some action could Chu Heng have said that her existence would affect the situation.
“Ah Heng, I understand what you mean,” Ye Muyu suddenly grabbed his hand. “Would you… would you be willing to be completely truthful with me?”

Ye Muyu had not intended to reveal this, but now, the presence of another Reincarnator was making Chu Heng’s future path even harder.
“Ah Heng, do you want to join forces with Duke Zheng?” Ye Muyu asked first.
Chu Heng shook his head, “We’re not of the same stripe, Magistrate of Yuzhou is one of Duke Zheng’s men.”
Ye Muyu gasped. She had not anticipated that Duke Zheng was not an ally, but an opponent.
“There’s something I have to tell you,” Ye Muyu closed her eyes. “Madam Tang may carry the memories of her previous life.”
Chu Heng had come to know of this through a box of letters he left for himself. Perhaps before his amnesia, fearing a slip-up, he had written them down.
“How do you know?” Chu Heng suddenly grabbed Ye Muyu’s wrist. “Ah Yu, how do you know about this?”
“I guessed,” Ye Muyu saw his sudden intensity and thought he was just shocked by her words. But since she had already begun, she couldn’t keep secrets anymore, “Actually, I also figured out that you must carry memories from your previous life.”
Chu Heng’s chest heaved, and he looked at her with burning intensity, “Who told you?”
He was worried someone had been misleading her, and he might have doubted this reality if he didn’t feel so vividly alive. He would also not have so readily believed such matters that seemed more mysterious than ghosts and deities.
“Because I am no longer the wife you originally had,” Ye Muyu looked at him without any concealment. “I come from the future, so I know such things. In fact, these things have become common knowledge in the future, known by everyone. I just have a good memory, enabling me to utilize the wisdom of the future generation for my own benefit.”
