“I’ve already gone to talk to Prince Huaiyin. If we cooperate with him, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

“Moreover, he also agreed. When the big matter is completed, he will appoint you to be the prime minister. At that point, you can show off your abilities, Hubby.” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Song Rui with a beaming smile.

Song Rui glanced at his wife and reached out to pull her over to lean on his shoulder.

He sighed and asked, “Then what about you?”

If he became the Prime Minister, his wife would not be able to command the army.

“Me? I will be Marquis Xiaoyao. 1 will take care of my own fiefdom and at the same time, make our family’s century egg business bigger and better,” Qin Xiaoyao said happily.

Song Rui lowered his head and glanced at the woman in his arms.

Then, he planted a kiss on Qin Xiaoyao’s head.

“You don’t want to be a Great General and go into battle to slay enemies?” he asked.

Although he had never seen his wife in action on the battlefield displaying her invincible skills, he had heard others describe it.

Prince Huaiyin had once said that his wife was a natural-born general.

Moreover, when he saw how his wife interacted with the soldiers, he knew that his wife actually liked that kind of life.

His wife was sacrificing herself to help him.

Qin Xiaoyao shook her head.

“Nope,” she said against her conscience.

“What’s the point of fighting and killing?

“I still like doing business to make money!”

The corners of Song Rui’s mouth curled up.

“Being a great general and earning money are not in conflict,” he said with a smile.

Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.

After that, she heard Song Rui continue, “I have no interest in being the Prime Minister either.

“My dear, why don’t you be the Great General? I will resign from my post, stay at home and freeload off you?”

He seemed to recall this was how the word “freeload” was used.

Qin Xiaoyao shifted her body quickly and got out of Song Rui’s arms.

“How can you do that?

“You’ll be laughed at here.”

In fact, not only in this era, but even in the 21st century before the apocalypse, men who freeloaded off women were also looked down upon.

Previously, after they moved into Mountain Spring Town, there were also some people who looked at her husband strangely, thinking that he was living off a woman.

Song Rui smiled.

“Why do you care about what others think? As long as my wife doesn’t despise me, it’s good enough.” As he spoke, he pulled Qin Xiaoyao into his arms again.

Qin Xiaoyao did not resist and obediently lay back down.

She lifted a lock of Song Rui’s long hair and played with it in her hand.

“But 1 don’t want you to be misunderstood.

“My husband has the talent to stabilize the country. You are not just a pretty face.”

Song Rui laughed in amusement.

Once more, he felt glad inwardly that his wife liked his face.

After sighing, Song Rui gently stroked Qin Xiaoyao’s back.

“Forget about being the Prime Minister. If you don’t want to be the Great General, let’s return to Mountain Spring Town after this matter is over.

“It just so happens that Xiaoyao County is your fiefdom. We’ll keep watch over that small piece of land and live a carefree life.” As he spoke, a look of yearning appeared on Song Rui’s face.

At that time, the hidden danger would be gone. Their family was also in his wife’s fiefdom, so no one would dare to cause trouble for them.

It was also considered a form of happiness to lead a stable life like that.

Qin Xiaoyao turned around and looked upward at Song Rui.

“Are you serious?” she asked.

Actually, it was good to go back to Mountain Spring Town.

After she left that place, she had dreamed of her days in Mountain Spring Town several times.

“Mm-hmm,” Song Rui nodded.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.

“Alright. Then let’s go back to Mountain Spring Town.”

Song Rui smiled dotingly and pulled Qin Xiaoyao into his arms again.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was filled with sweetness and peace.

After a while, she thought of something and asked, “Last time I heard you say that you bought a residence. It seems that you will be able to move in soon.”

“Mm-hmm. I already have a caretaker. After procuring some servants and tidying up the premises, I can move in.”

“When exactly?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.

“I want to go and take a look,” she added.

Song Rui was stunned.

“Before you move in. I’ll sneak in without being discovered,” Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly added.

She was curious about her husband’s house.

Song Rui smiled and reached out to scratch Qin Xiaoyao’s nose.

“Then go the day after tomorrow. The timing is just right. The courtyards will be almost cleaned up by then.”

Qin Xiaoyao felt very satisfied and snuggled into Song Rui’s arms.

After a moment of silence, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something again.

“That Shen Lian hasn’t been looking for you recently, has she?” she said with some displeasure.

Song Rui’s heart instantly tensed up.

“No.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s expression relaxed a little.

“But 1 have to pick her up from the manor tomorrow.”

When he saw his wife’s face turning sour, Song Rui’s expression became nervous.

Nonetheless, he still continued, “The old fox told me to pick her up. Tomorrow, Shen Lian will enter the residence.”

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

“So fast?” she asked with displeasure.

Song Rui nodded.

“Then, your marriage with her…” At this point, a dangerous glint flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.

Song Rui looked at his wife guiltily.

“He said that it would be announced to the public soon.”

When he saw his wife’s face darken further, Song Rui quickly said, “But don’t worry, my dear. The marriage won’t happen in the end.”

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Song Rui in annoyance.

A moment later, she made up her mind.

“How about I go and look for Prince Huaiyin and ask him to rebel straightaway?

“When the time comes, 1 will lead my troops to help him attack the Imperial Palace. We will force the Emperor to abdicate outright.”

More than half of the capital’s army was in her and Prince Huaiyin’s hands.

With her help and the help of her subordinates in the Warfire team, taking care of a few thousand guards in the palace was not a problem at all.

Song Rui laughed in amusement at his wife’s expression.

He reached out and hugged his wife tighter.

“How can things be that simple?

“Forcing the Emperor to abdicate is the worst strategy. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Prince Huaiyin will not do this.”

If he didn’t get the position through proper procedures, even if he sat in that position, he wouldn’t be able to sit with ease.

Moreover, with such a precedent, it would be difficult for the Great Jin State to remain stable in the future.

“Then what should we do?

“We can’t possibly wait for the old Emperor to die and then read out the posthumous edict, can we?” Qin Xiaoyao’s face was tinged with some impatience.

They couldn’t afford to waste time.

“No need,” Song Rui said.

When Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at him, he added, “The current Emperor dotes on Empress Jia too much.

“As long as we can get evidence of Empress Jia and the Jia family plotting a rebellion, Empress Jia and the Jia family will not be able to escape punishment.

“Prince Huaiyin will then let the Emperor abdicate willingly.”

The Emperor actually didn’t care much about holding onto power. He would most likely be very happy to exchange the throne for his beloved empress.

“Is the evidence… easy to get?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.

“Not easy,” Song Rui replied with a smile.

“However, your husband has been working hard all this while. There are already some clues.”

When Qin Xiaoyao heard this, she was still a little dejected.

“It’s so much simpler to kill our way in. Why do you have to make it so complicated?” she said with some displeasure.

Song Rui smiled and patted Qin Xiaoyao’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry. It won’t be long.

“At the soonest, perhaps things can be accomplished on the Emperor’s birthday next month.”

Now, the old fox trusted him more and more.

Through his relationship with the old fox, he knew and even took control of many of the old fox’s connections..
