Li Bohan wanted his bad reputation to be as big as possible, but he couldn't be stupid. Being lecherous would also ruin people's good impression of him. The only thing that could easily make people think that he was addicted to the inner residence and did nothing. It was also a shortcoming that could be changed at any time.
Chu Xiang talked back to Old Concubine Yu in public, but Li Bohan was still reluctant to punish her. Thus, the reputation of being controlled by the inner residence was confirmed. Chu Xiang's title of "Yao Fei" also spread like wildfire, becoming a veritable source of disaster in many people's hearts.
Her background was very legendary. She was a favored concubine who was banished to the cold palace. After the Qin Wang entered the capital, she became the Qin Wang Fei and was the only one who was favored by the Qin Wang.
The truth wasn't important. What was important was that Chu Xiang became more and more free with the title of "Yao Fei". She could almost do whatever she wanted in the station. No one dared to touch her, and no one associated her with the brilliant Lin Mu. She lived a life that women in ancient times envied the most. She wasn't afraid of mothers-in-law, didn't have concubines, and was so wanton that it made people jealous. She lived a very happy life.
This happy life came much earlier than Chu Xiang expected, but she didn't indulge in it. She always knew that Li Bohan was protecting her. This freedom was given to her by Li Bohan and could be taken away at any time.
Li Bohan would sit on the dragon throne one day. No man should believe in the emperor, because even the emperor was subject to countless restrictions and couldn't do whatever he wanted. How could such a person protect others for a lifetime? Even if Chu Xiang became the emperor, she couldn't guarantee that she would protect someone for a lifetime. If it was someone else, she wouldn't believe it.
Thus, she never slacked off. Whenever she had time, she would arrange things in the palace and disguise herself as a man to run her business empire. The Chu family also worked very hard. Chu Yiru had gained Li Bohan's trust and became his number one strategist. He contacted all his contacts and gave advice to Li Bohan. He was valued highly.
Chu Wenyuan entered Li Bohan's secret private army and was only a soldier for the time being. Chu Wensong helped Li Bohan manage a brothel and collect information. The Chu family had begun to infiltrate Li Bohan's power, and they were gradually infiltrating deeper.
There were more and more conflicts between the rebel army and the imperial court, and the fires of war were becoming more and more frequent. Chu Xiang's caravan used first-class bodyguards. They were skilled and smart, and they never lost their goods. Gradually, they made a name for themselves, and many people were willing to cooperate with her.
During the chaos of war, it was easy to make money if one used the right methods. Chu Xiang had done a lot of shady things. She had more and more assets, and the people around Li Bohan started to pay more attention to "Lin Mu".
Every time Li Bohan heard his advisor praise Lin Mu and exclaim that he was a business genius, he couldn't help but laugh. If these people knew that Lin Mu was the evil concubine they were talking about, what kind of expression would they have? When they told them in the future, the scene would be very interesting.
Li Bohan used the excuse of doting on his concubine to send out a large number of people to search for rare treasures. Searching for treasures was a lie. Gathering information and contacting people from all over the world was his real goal. But because everyone believed that he was bewitched by the evil concubine, his business was not hindered at all. It even developed more smoothly than before, and he quickly expanded his power in the dark step by step.
Li Bohan and Chu Xiang were affectionate in front of others every day, and rushed forward without stopping. They slept in the same room at night, and their relationship grew stronger day by day, and they became comrades.
Li Bohan had been fighting alone for so long. Now that he had Chu Xiang to work with, he cherished her very much. Unknowingly, his feelings for Chu Xiang changed. He liked to see her more and more, and appreciated her more and more. He even gave her the bed and slept on the soft couch.
Chu Xiang was the most comfortable with Li Bohan's change. Her goal had not been achieved yet, but she had already enjoyed the life she wanted. Because of this, Chu Xiang gave Li Bohan a little more from her private golden pocket. She wanted to develop her power, so she naturally couldn't give all the money to Li Bohan.
Her own golden pocket was getting richer and richer day by day. She also met a rebel leader and secretly cooperated with him. They carried out coastal trade, and even went out to sea to find gold.
The days passed quickly. Chu Xiang felt that 24 hours were not enough every day. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed!
In these five years, she subdued a nest of bandits, subdued a group of pirates, trained a private army, established a secret stronghold, arranged an escape route overseas, and hid the Chu family's treasure …
In addition to officially becoming the Qin Emperor's money bag under the name of Lin Mu, she also made her own golden pocket overflow and became the underground queen of the business world.
The Chu family not only didn't drag her down, but also helped her a lot. If Chu Wensong hadn't been in charge of Li Bohan's information channel, she wouldn't have been able to hide her golden pocket so easily. If Chu Yi Ru hadn't helped her plan and reminded her of a few traps, she might have fallen into another trap.
She was the king of business, but in terms of intrigue, Chu Yi Ru, the old fox, was better. Chu Xiang learned a lot from him and felt more and more that this family was a godly team. Chu Wenyuan, who was in the army, was promoted quickly and became the right hand of the leader of the private army. He also gave Chu Xiang a lot of advice. Chu Xiang's private army was trained by him and their quality was very high.
Chu Xiang saw their strength, so when they were secretly plotting, she suggested, "How about we make it the Chu family's and father you sit in that position?"
She felt that it was better for her family to be the emperor. When the time came, she would be the eldest princess. But this idea was rejected by the three men of the Chu family.
Chu Yi Ru laughed and said, "You really are getting bolder and bolder. You dare to think of anything. But not everyone can be the emperor. The emperor is not a strategist or a general, he must know how to rule the country. Otherwise, if he takes the throne, the people will suffer. Father can be the prime minister and the best strategist, but I can't be the emperor. "
Chu Xiang was a little puzzled, "Don't you help his highness make many decisions? What's wrong with that? "
Chu Yi Ru shook his head, "If it was so easy, then there wouldn't be such a talented strategist since ancient times. They all went to be emperors. Even Mr. Zhuge can't call himself king, so how can father? Xiang 'er, Qin Wang is a wise ruler and is worthy of our full support. If he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be a blessing for the people. "
Chu Xiang looked at Chu Wenyuan and Chu Wensong. The two nodded and Chu Wensong smiled: "Sister, don't think too much. Think about it, you are now unparalleled in business. Can you be considered a capable person? But you don't know how to be a ruler. If you become the emperor, how will you govern the country? "
Chu Wenyuan also said, "Qin Wang is a wise ruler."
Five years of the Chu family willingly assisting Qin Wang. Chu Xiang naturally didn't care. She really didn't know how to be a ruler, nor did she have any interest in it. In her eyes, the emperor was the most unfree person trapped in a cage. One person shouldered the fate of all the people. Early in the morning, he was greedy and restrained everywhere. Only a person who was born to be an emperor could restrain himself and endure the loneliness at the top. Otherwise, he would become a fatuous ruler.
Li Bohan had no idea that Chu Xiang once had the idea of stealing the throne. His power had expanded rapidly in the past five years. Chu Xiang's caravan also secretly helped him do a lot of things and sent a lot of letters. Chu Xiang's title as a demon concubine had blocked countless troubles for him. Even Old Concubine Yu gradually lost her arrogance and couldn't intervene in his affairs anymore.
Although it seemed a little unfilial, without Old Concubine Yu's interference, his backyard was really quiet. He no longer had to worry about spies and assassins when he rested. Chu Xiang let him have no worries and he was willing to dote on Chu Xiang. Unfortunately, no matter what he said or implied, Chu Xiang insisted on being a fake husband and wife with him. It made him wonder if in Chu Xiang's eyes, he wasn't a man at all.
In these five years, the rebel army gradually grew in size. The court was almost unable to hold on, but the fatuous ruler didn't change and often did disgusting things.
Chu Yi Ru arranged for people in the capital to incite the fatuous ruler in court. The fatuous ruler casually ordered the execution of the criminals exiled to the borders. Everyone knew that Qin Wangfei was the daughter of the previous prime minister. The previous prime minister's entire family had been exiled to the borders. Now that the emperor wanted to kill the criminals at the borders, wouldn't he have to kill Qin Wangfei's parents and family?
When people heard that Qin Wangfei had caused a ruckus in the Qin palace, the Qin Wang had immediately sent a memorial to ask the emperor to let the Chu family go. When had the emperor ever cared about this? But he didn't like the Qin Wang's attitude. He wouldn't change his orders because of the Qin Wang.
Li Bohan flew into a rage for a woman and led his army to occupy the borders. He accused the emperor of going too far. This time, he wanted to get justice for the humiliation that Qin Wangfei had suffered in the past.
Since ancient times, all revolts needed a reason. On the surface, the emperor liked his imperial uncle, the Qin Wang, and the Qin Wang had always been generous. Of course, he couldn't be so calculative. He thought that the anger of his beloved was the best excuse.
He wanted compensation from the emperor. Once the emperor gave him compensation, wouldn't he be apologizing to him and the abandoned concubine that he had personally abolished? The fatuous ruler would never do such a thing. He was also angered by Li Bohan's actions and felt that he had been played, so he sent troops to suppress him.
When the court sent troops, Li Bohan naturally had to fight back. The two sides fought like this, allowing the Qin Wang to naturally become the newest power.
The other rebel leaders understood and secretly cursed Li Bohan for being cunning. For so many years, he had let them charge at the front while he secretly developed such a large power. Once he came out, he couldn't be underestimated. Moreover, he was a member of the imperial family. He was more "orthodox" than they were, so it was easier for him to attract people with special abilities. He was a great threat.
But no matter who was afraid of Li Bohan, he had already become so powerful that no one could do anything to him. Li Bohan sent troops to take down seven cities in one fell swoop. The Qin Wang's flag was raised high. People often saw a merchant called Lin Mu following the Qin Wang. They believed that he was the Qin Wang's "money bag". Some people were jealous that the Qin Wang had such a genius to help him. At the same time, they also felt that the Qin Wang was indeed respectful to the wise and treated Lin Mu very well. He was like a brother.
Chu Xiang followed Li Bohan into the tent. She took off her hair cover and let her hair fall. She washed her face and said, "I can finally rest. I won't come with you in the future. Do you know how much food costs? I'm busy earning money. "
Li Bohan said helplessly, "I thought you liked to come to the battlefield. Don't you always like to do unusual things? Other women don't have the chance to come. "
Chu Xiang lay on the bed and closed her eyes. "With so many eyes watching, don't blame me if I expose myself."
