Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapters 633 and 634: Heading to the Capital
Yunni was still hesitating, but Gu Kaiyuan didn't press him. "You should discuss it properly with your family later."

That island is many times larger than this one, so its ability to withstand disasters must be much stronger. You can go and take a look first!
If you wish, you can bring most of the people from this island with you, which would essentially give you the original core team.

Yunni didn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew what he was going to face next, so in addition to discussing it with his family, he also had to consider it carefully.

Back at the Yun family home, it was a typical courtyard where all five members of their family lived.

Yes, Yunni's wife gave birth to three sons for him in one go, and she is currently pregnant with another one. This is one of the reasons why Yunni doesn't want to move away.

When Madam Yun saw Gu Kaiyuan, she quickly curtsied, but Gu Kaiyuan hurriedly avoided her, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm bothering you again."

“A distinguished guest whom we couldn’t invite even if we tried,” Madam Yun said with a smile, beckoning to the children, “Come and greet Master Gu.”

Gu Kaiyuan smiled as he looked at the children. "They seem to have grown a lot taller since the last time I came. Your sister-in-law has taken good care of them."

Sure enough, seeing Madam Yun smiling broadly and inviting Gu Kaiyuan to stay for dinner, he took the children and left.

"Don't try to bribe my wife every time you come," Yunni said helplessly. His wife was good in every way, but she would lose her bearings as soon as she heard something nice, especially when the children were praised. Gu Kaiyuan always managed to get the gist of it, so among all the people they knew, Gu Kaiyuan was the most popular with his wife. It seemed that today's meal would be much more lavish.

“I’m telling you the absolute truth. Your wife has really raised your kids very well. I’m even a little envious.”

"I've come here this time to ask you to help me discipline my little devil!"

Yunni said, "They're always giving me trouble; I rarely get a moment of peace."

"Anyway, you're just herding one cow, so adding ours won't make much difference."

You have no idea how much trouble those two brothers have caused. I didn't dare send both of them over at once, afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it.

Yunni didn't care, thinking that Gu Kaiyuan was exaggerating. Besides, even the most troublesome person would be subdued by him.

"It's fine to leave it with me, but don't feel bad about it later."

Gu Kaiyuan's son is different from those orphans; he needs to be careful about this beforehand.

"Do whatever you want with him, but it would be best if he learned a thing or two from your boys..." Gu Kaiyuan praised him again in a roundabout way, and even Yunni became a little proud of the praise.

Little did he know that today would be the best day of his life, and that he would regret his decision every time he thought about it.

Not only did Gu Xingyu learn his skills, but he also corrupted his sons, freeing them from the shackles of demonic children.

Yunni felt like she was going bald because of these children, and even regretted taking on this mess in the first place.

However, he was unaware of all this and was happily greeting Gu Kaiyuan's family.

Gu Kaiyuan did not stay on the island for long, leaving Gu Xingyu alone there the next day.

A lot has happened in the past few years. They originally wanted to find a powerful backer, but chaos has broken out in the court. The princes are constantly fighting amongst themselves, and most of the officials in the court have been drawn into it.

"There's a drought in the north," Bai Suihe said with concern when she received the news. For so many years, the weather had been favorable, and she had forgotten that ancient times had no disaster resistance capabilities.

At this time, the harvest in the fields is limited. Bai Suihe has been working on researching fertilizer accumulation over the years, which has increased the yield. She has tried her best to share this with others, but not many people believe her.

It was only in the last two years, when others saw that their harvests were good, that they gradually started to follow suit.

They were just ordinary people, so it would be very difficult for them to spread their ideas. The court was only concerned with vying for power, so their little achievements would hardly make a splash.

“Then let’s shut down the businesses in the north,” Gu Kaiyuan said without hesitation, “and have everyone there come back as soon as possible.”

It's not that Gu Kaiyuan doesn't care about the overall situation, but if there's a disaster, the place will definitely descend into chaos, and the first to suffer will be the merchants like them.

“I’ve already sent the letter,” Bai Suihe sighed. “Last year, the south suffered from floods, and now the north is experiencing a drought. I’m afraid we’ll be in turmoil for a while.”

"But I've instructed the grain stores there to sell the grain at the original price, clear out their inventory, and then leave." Gu Kaiyuan nodded. "People are the most important thing right now; I'm afraid someone might try to make a big deal out of this."

The emperor is no longer the powerful young emperor he was ten years ago; he is now old and somewhat lacking in strength.

Over the years, the power held by his sons has been divided among the princes, making it difficult for him to balance the power in the court.

This is a very dangerous signal, and Gu Xingyang is also waiting for this opportunity.

Of course, that depends on how the royal family chooses next. If it is a wise ruler, Gu Xingyang's ideas are useless.

The couple discussed how to withdraw their businesses from the north as soon as possible. Gu Xingyang had already led his men to their house in the county town.

"Is the news reliable?"

"The drought started last year, but local officials concealed it because the weather had been good in previous years and everyone had stored up grain, so it did not attract attention."

But this year's autumn harvest has already begun, and the yield is absolutely disastrous. It's not even enough to pay the taxes, and some farmers have already sold their land and daughters..."

“I’m giving you a task now,” Gu Xingyang said, pulling out a hand-drawn map from her pocket and gesturing with it. “What we need most right now is manpower. You’ll go and recruit some tonight…”

☆

The Gu family was very busy, heading to the capital, where the streets were desolate.

Compared to the prosperous times of the past two years, now every household closes its doors tightly at the end of the month.

The princes went on a killing spree, fighting back and forth in the court. After court, they began to recruit their own forces, accepting anyone with even a slight connection.

Sometimes, in a family, several brothers may turn to different people and even start accusing each other of betting on the wrong person.

There are already eight princes in the court, causing trouble.

It is said that there are several princes in the harem who are slowly growing up, but their maternal families have also been involved early on.

"Have you heard? The emperor is ill today."

In a tavern with its doors tightly shut, a few old drinkers were sipping their drinks. It wasn't that the owner didn't want to open for business, but rather that curfew had been imposed, and these regulars had agreed to drink all night. The owner couldn't very well refuse, since they weren't planning to leave anyway, so he closed the door early.

How do you know?

"Hey, of course I have sources. The emperor didn't even attend court today..."

The new book is out! If you're interested, you can add it to your favorites. I guarantee you'll have plenty of time to read it.

The Prince, Who Had No Heir, Was Frenzied in His Love, and His Lazy Princess Had Her Third Child.

Xie Huaixi, who suffers from congenital heart disease, transmigrated into a book.

She transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a sweet ancient romance novel, and was also a sickly person.

In the book, the original owner of the body marries the cannon fodder male supporting character—the childless prince Xiao Jingtian.

Xiao Jingtian's only concern is for the female lead, Xu Yushu, his dear cousin.

The original owner couldn't win Xiao Jingtian's favor, so she acted up in various ways, and was eventually abandoned by Xiao Jingtian in a rural village where she died of illness.

Xie Huaixi said that the original owner cared too much about relationships. Wasn't it annoying to keep falling in love? She was a professional at being a couch potato!
So she chose to live in the courtyard furthest from the prince, and fenced off a piece of land. She spent her days indulging in farming, cooking, and raising pets, living a blissful life. But how did she end up with her third child?
*
Prince Xiao Jingtian, whose heart belongs only to his cousin Xu Yushu, is forced to marry Xie Huaixi, the eldest daughter of the Xie family. The day after their wedding, Xiao Jingtian proposes that the two be a couple in name only.

He suffered from a hidden illness and had someone else in his heart, so he was unwilling to get close to the princess. Unexpectedly, the princess suggested they live separately. At first, Xiao Jingtian thought this was a good idea. But he gradually discovered that his princess seemed to be a rather remarkable person?

—Rumors have been circulating in the capital lately. The Prince of Li, who has no heir, is expecting his third child! And his unloved princess is now the apple of his eye!
Even the king who was obsessed with the battlefield has started to relax and has taken a leisurely job at home to accompany his queen and children!
