Chu Yao seemed to find it amusing, and leaned in to kiss her burning hot little face.
"Crown Prince!" In an attempt to escape her predicament, Wushuang blurted out without thinking, only realizing what she had said after the words left her mouth.
"What?" Chu Yao asked, frowning.
"I...I mean..."
Wushuang stammered, not knowing what had just happened to her, when she suddenly remembered the incident of the crown prince being deposed in her previous life. Because it didn't concern her at the time, her memory wasn't very clear; she only had a vague impression that it happened after the emperor's northern tour.
"The Crown Prince made a mistake during the last disaster relief effort, will my brother-in-law...?"
"No." Chu Yao interrupted her decisively. In his previous life, Chu Ye had handled things extremely well, so there was nothing to worry about. "With past examples to learn from, how stupid would he have to be to repeat the same mistakes?"
Then again, isn't she just like him? How could she not know?
Wushuang knew, of course, that she had just been making things up to fill in the gaps in her knowledge.
"Then... will His Highness the Crown Prince continue like this?"
Wushuang wanted to remind Chu Yao, but she wasn't sure what she wanted him to do.
Should we help the crown prince escape his predicament and prevent him from being deposed, or should we let him be deposed as he was in his previous life?
The change in the Crown Prince's position directly affects the future of all the princes, meaning it will also affect Wuxia, the elder sister, and is no longer someone who is indifferent to the matter.
Moreover, she had a vague suspicion that Chu Yao's death in her previous life might be related to the struggle for the throne. He was so capable, and his birth mother was the sister of Consort Jing. He would be regarded as an ally of the Third Prince Chu Ye without doing anything. At that time, the crown prince was not yet determined. Killing Chu Yao was equivalent to cutting off the Third Prince's arm, which was the thickest and strongest arm in the entire court...
"If there are any changes in his affairs..." Wushuang hesitated, as speculating on the emperor's intentions was extremely disrespectful, especially since such speculation concerned the crown prince.
"Don't think too much." Chu Yao patted her fluffy hair bun. "A young girl should just live happily and not overthink things. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."
He understood her good intentions, but as a man, how could he let his woman live in constant fear?
Moreover, like her, he knew about the future and would naturally make preparations in advance.
Wushuang was slightly dissatisfied. Why couldn't she think about it?
She was worried about him!
But I just can't make things clear.
Rebirth is such an absurd thing that no one would believe it, right?
Even if I believe her, won't I think of her as a monster?
Right now, she's a little girl in Chu Yao's eyes, someone he has to pamper and coax. If he treated her like a demon or monster, would he have to find a Taoist priest to capture the demon, or even bury her under a pagoda to suppress her?
The thought of losing Chu Yao's gentleness and being treated cruelly by him made Wu Shuang feel wronged and want to cry.
But she was just too tired.
After a long day of travel, being frightened and falling off a horse, and with night falling, I was so tired that I had no energy to discern the thoughts hidden beneath this feeling.
Anyway, Chu Yao assured him that he would take care of everything.
Actually, he is very reliable. He always comes to her rescue whenever she is in trouble!
No, no, no, but he died in his past life!
But the past life is the past life, and this life is this life. Many things are the same in this life, but the Crown Prince, brother-in-law, and Chu Yao's lives will be different, won't they?
Yes, it definitely will!
After a fierce internal struggle, Wushuang unconsciously yawned, her eyelids drooping heavily, and she instantly fell asleep.
The chirping little sparrow in his arms suddenly fell silent. Chu Yao glanced down in surprise and saw Wu Shuang sleeping soundly with her eyes closed and lips pouting. He pulled the cloak tighter, wrapping her up even more tightly.
As if sensing something in her sleep, Wushuang muttered to herself, "Hmm, Chu Yao, you're the best."
Chu Yao thought he had woken her, but when he looked again, he saw that she was gently snoring. It turned out she was talking in her sleep, but even in her dream she kept praising him, which made Chu Yao extremely happy.
He gently kissed the top of Wushuang's head: "You are the best too."
They will live the best days together.
He's got everything covered.

Chapter 100:
The sound of horses' hooves finally stopped in front of the tent where the three young ladies of the Jun family were staying. <a href="http://www.qiushu.cc" target="_blank">Seeking Books Network www.qiushu.Cc</a>
Chu Yao nimbly leaped off his horse, carefully picked up Wu Shuang, and Qi Qiao, who was guarding the door, hurriedly lifted the curtain to let him through.
Wu Hui had been worried for most of the day, but when she saw them return, she hurriedly got up from in front of the low table.
Wushuang remained curled up motionless in Chu Yao's arms, her face and body completely covered by his cloak, making it impossible to tell whether she was safe or unharmed.
"Is she alright?" Wu Hui asked softly.
Chu Yao nodded to reassure her, and then, following Qi Qiao's instructions, walked steadily to the Wushuang couch and set her down.
He stood up, but encountered resistance. Looking down, he saw that Wushuang's small hands were tightly gripping his shirt, not letting go for a moment.
Chu Yao smiled slightly and gently pried open that fair and delicate little hand.
But the force with which he got up had woken Wushuang. She was still half asleep and didn't remember what had happened earlier. When she saw Chu Yao's handsome face so close to her, she complained in a coquettish voice, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that things are different now than at home? Second Sister and Wu Hui are sleeping here. It would be bad if they saw us."
