My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 342 - 343 Countermeasures

Chapter 342: Chapter 343 Countermeasures

Ye Yunting originally wanted to say, why should he care about a bastard child.

But when he caught Chu Nanli’s gaze, the words that reached his lips were somehow taken back.

He scoffed and said, "Do you think, without the identity of the War King’s wife, you could still stand in the capital?"

"Chu Nanli, I’m telling you, without me, you are nothing!"

"Then I, would rather never have met you!"

Looking at him, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but feel amused.

If he knew the original host’s identity, would he still be able to make such grandiose remarks?

In terms of social standing, the original host might very well be more prestigious than Ye Yunting.

However, Ye Yunting’s words did indeed remind her.

Divorcing Ye Yunting was only the first step.

If she wanted to protect herself and her two children, she would need more support.

"Good, very good, Chu Nanli, you really grew wings now!"

Ye Yunting, just like before, wanted to get physical when he couldn’t win with words.

But this time, he shouldn’t expect to get his way.

The two Hidden Guards arranged by Ye Jiuxiao had appeared from the shadows the moment he made a move.

One was protecting Chu Nanli, while the other stood in front of Ye Yunting.

"Step aside for me!"

These Hidden Guards, being meticulously trained, naturally did not fear Ye Yunting.

Blocked by someone, Ye Yunting could only take his anger out on Chu Nanli.

"Chu Nanli, you dare to have people stop me!"

Chu Nanli originally thought that Ye Jiuxiao had sent the two Hidden Guards away.

Who knew that they would still be silently protecting her.

"Having been bitten by a dog once, I naturally have to be cautious to prevent being bitten again."

As Chu Nanli looked at him, she couldn’t help but reveal a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

Seeing Ye Yunting deflated indeed brought immense satisfaction to her heart.

"You just wait for me!"

Ye Yunting had no way of dealing with the two Hidden Guards.

Though he could not discern the origin of these two Hidden Guards, he could tell that their skills were certainly extraordinary.

Having finally driven Ye Yunting away, Chu Nanli’s face did not look much better.

Ye Yunting’s visit today indeed took her by surprise.

And the things he said were truly alarming to her.

He was either insane or had an ulterior motive.

She didn’t believe for a second that Ye Yunting could tolerate the child in her belly.

He better not be harboring any ill whims in secret.

Thinking so, she couldn’t help but glance at the Hidden Guards beside her.

"Would you mind sending a message, asking your master to come over?"

Now, aside from Ye Jiuxiao, she really didn’t know who else she could consult.

Ye Jiuxiao had just left from her place during the daylight hours, and to avoid suspicion, naturally, he shouldn’t blatantly return.

He was delayed for a while with some matters. When he arrived, Chu Nanli had just finished bathing.

Her hair was loose, and the flush on her face from the steam had not yet faded.

Under the light, she appeared even more gentle and charming.

Ye Jiuxiao had never seen Chu Nanli like this and was momentarily stunned where he stood.

"What are you staring at, Prince?"

Upon hearing Chu Nanli’s voice, he came back to his senses.

Luckily the candlelight wasn’t too bright, otherwise, his reddened ear tips would have betrayed him early on.

He cleared his throat before speaking, "Did Ye Yunting come today to discuss the divorce with you?"

"Who knows what’s wrong with that guy, suddenly coming over and telling me he doesn’t want a divorce."

Chu Nanli was extremely agitated and couldn’t help but rub the center of her brows.

"I always feel that he is up to no good."

"Then what do you plan to do?"

When Ye Jiuxiao asked this question, in his heart, he actually harbored some selfish thoughts.

He had had someone investigate and knew very well how deeply Chu Nanli had once cared for Ye Yunting.

"Of course, I’ll seek a divorce. Didn’t I take such a big risk just to get rid of that guy?"

Chu Nanli spoke indignantly, "Does he think that a few words will make me give up?"

Even if the original host were here, having gone through so much, she would definitely have lost hope in Ye Yunting by now.

Moreover, she herself had never had such feelings for Ye Yunting to begin with.

"I’m just worried that the change in his attitude might affect the Emperor’s decision."

After all, it’s common knowledge that the Emperor favors Ye Yunting.

Otherwise, Ye Yunting wouldn’t have become the first among the Princes to receive a title.

"What about His Majesty’s brother?"

Ye Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes as he thought of the Emperor’s attitude over the past few years and couldn’t help but shake his head.

In his view, now that the Emperor had already appointed the Crown Prince yet continued to indulge Ye Yunting, if this went on, it would likely lead to a major disaster.

But what did that have to do with him, a former Regent King now living a life of leisure?

"His Majesty’s brother’s change of attitude is simply because he sees value in you."

These days, Chu Nanli’s deeds had gradually spread throughout the capital.

No matter what Chu Nanli’s original intentions were, in the end, she had taken risks for the common people.

Just on this point alone, she had already surpassed many others.

"Rest assured, I have already made preparations."

In fact, as soon as Chu Nanli had gone to the capital suburbs, he had already secretly arranged for personnel.

He would definitely not let Chu Nanli be put in a difficult position.

"What you should do now is to recover fully so that when you meet His Majesty’s brother, you can handle it better."

Ye Jiuxiao’s tone, though gentle, was not to be resisted.

It concerned her health, which did not allow for the slightest error.

Moreover, she was carrying a child in her womb.

"Okay, I believe you, Prince."

Looking into Ye Jiuxiao’s earnest gaze, Chu Nanli felt a stirring in her heart.

Perhaps, after the divorce, she could start considering other possibilities.

...

Chu Nanli rested for another two or three days before she went to the palace to meet the Emperor.

And to highlight the importance he placed on her, the Emperor even specially instructed that a seat be given to her.

"Princess Consort of the War King, I really didn’t expect that your medical skills would be so formidable,"

"It seems you truly have inherited your Master’s legacy!"

The Emperor’s address made Chu Nanli’s brows slightly crease, imperceptible to others.

She knew that the matter of the divorce would certainly not be so easy.

But she had to temporarily suppress her eagerness and first engage in some superficial conversation with the Emperor.

"Your Majesty is too kind. What I have learned is but a trifling fraction of my Master’s knowledge."

"If my Master were here, he would have resolved the plague much quicker."

Chu Nanli’s response was neither humble nor arrogant.

She couldn’t resist discreetly praising her mentor, the Divine Doctor Liuli, in her thoughts.

After all, she was still publicly known as the disciple of the renowned Divine Doctor Liuli.

Being his disciple, wouldn’t people regard her more highly as well?

"That may be true, but if the disciple lacks talent, even the most skilled Master is of no help, right?"

The Emperor’s purpose today, of course, wasn’t to discuss the proficiency of the Divine Doctor Liuli’s medical skills with her.

He spoke up again, "This time, you saved so many common people in the capital suburbs, I really don’t know what would be the best reward for you."
