Chapter 293 Check if Lü Xiao is missing anything.
"Bro, where's my brother?"
Unable to find the person, Yuwen Chenglong had no choice but to question the commander of the golden-golden-armed warriors at the gate.
"I'm sick."
The commander of the Golden Melon Warriors spoke, his words concise and to the point.
"He really is sick."
Yuwen Chenglong never expected that his words would actually come true. His brother's illness had come at just the right time.
"My lord, His Majesty summons you to the palace."
"Okay, okay."
After hearing this, Yuwen Chenglong straightened his robes, lifted his leg and walked into the hall, head held high and chest out, with a brisk pace.
In an instant, he noticed that everyone had turned their heads and were staring intently at him.
Yuwen Chenglong was secretly delighted. It seemed that news of his bravery in the Jianghuai region had already reached here.
Otherwise, why would these people look at him like that?
In those eyes, there was clearly awe, admiration, and envy!
It's better to keep a low profile.
He'll feel embarrassed with so many people watching him.
"Yuwen Chenglong..."
The members of the Xiao clan gritted their teeth and stared intently at the executioner who had slaughtered the Xiao clan of Jiangling.
His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to devour Yuwen Chenglong alive.
"hey-hey."
Despite the hostile gaze, Yuwen Chenglong remained smiling and unfazed, his grin almost reaching his ears.
In terms of shamelessness, he has far surpassed his father Yuwen Huaji. What is this little bit of a look?
What storms hasn't Yuwen Chenglong weathered?
But then again, why is my father not in the court?
How could Father, as the Prime Minister, be absent from such an important court assembly?
Could it be that he is also ill?
"Where are the Marquis of Yanjin and the King of Shuo?"
Yang Guang looked around for a long time but still couldn't see Lü Xiao's figure, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Shuo has sent me to report that he will come to see you shortly."
Yuwen Chenglong answered truthfully and bowed.
"I see. Then let the court adjourn!"
Yang Guang sat back on his throne, his smile fading slightly. He had thought Lü Xiao had also come, but his excitement had been unfounded.
Since that's the case, then we won't attend court anymore.
He went back to prepare first, asking the imperial kitchen to prepare some wine and dishes so that he could have a few drinks with Lü Xiao and catch up.
These days, he, the son-in-law, is exhausted.
After the court session ended, the civil and military officials walked together and headed out of the palace.
The Xiao family dared not bang on the Yuwen family's door, but today they saw that Yuwen Chenglong was all alone, without even a guard by his side.
They quickly surrounded him and blocked him at the palace gate.
"hey-hey."
Despite the angry glares from the Xiao family members, Yuwen Chenglong still greeted them with a smile, looking completely innocent.
They say you can't hit a smiling face. He's given so many smiles, shouldn't that be enough?
His cheeks ached from laughing so much. Why were all these people still surrounding him?
But in the eyes of the Xiao family, this was just a frivolous grin, a blatant provocation.
They killed so many members of the Xiao family, and they still dare to laugh in the imperial court?
You still dare to hang around in front of them?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"Yuwen Chenglong, you slaughtered my Xiao clan members. We'll settle this score later!"
Among the Xiao family members, one of them gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Why not calculate it now? Is it because you don't want to?"
Yuwen Chenglong stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled, tilting his head as he looked at the other person with a sincere expression.
"I……"
Upon hearing this, the Xiao family members were speechless; they opened their mouths but couldn't utter a single word.
Now?
How is it calculated?
"Hehe, I'm leaving now."
Yuwen Chenglong pushed aside the person blocking his way and leisurely whistled as he left.
He walked briskly, his back view was dashing, and he seemed completely unaffected.
Faced with such an arrogant enemy, the Xiao family never expected that they would lose before they even had a chance to speak.
Now all I can do is watch him walk away, seething with anger but helpless.
They had no choice but to swallow their anger, whether they wanted to or not.
Prince Shuo's Mansion.
Yang Ruyi looked at Lü Xiao's return with a face full of joy, her eyes sparkling with undisguised brilliance.
Compared to her previous reckless embrace, she was much more restrained this time.
Instead, she walked gracefully to Lü Xiao, tiptoed slightly, and carefully examined her husband.
From top to bottom, from left to right, it looked like they were inspecting some kind of treasure.
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Xiao asked, puzzled, "Don't you recognize me or what? It's only been a short time since we last met, not three or five years."
"I need to check it!"
As Yang Ruyi spoke, her hand reached down to Lü Xiao's lower body, her movements so fast that no one could react in time.
"Stop fooling around."
With quick reflexes, Lü Xiao grabbed Yang Ruyi's small hand.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he finally relaxed and let go of her hand.
He's only been gone a short time, and this woman has already gotten bolder.
In broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this?
If someone sees him, where will he put his face as the Prince of Shuo?
"My husband, do you know that your beloved Yu'er has given birth to a son and a daughter for you?"
Unable to conduct the inspection, Yang Ruyi simply set her sights on other things.
She crossed her arms and looked at Lü Xiao with a smile, as if she was waiting to see a good show.
"Um."
Lü Xiao was naturally aware of this.
Yang Lin sent a messenger with a message, and two horses died from exhaustion. He traveled day and night, rain or shine, just to tell him this good news.
In the letter, Yang Lin also urged him to name the child as soon as possible, saying that the child shouldn't always be called "grandson" or "granddaughter".
However, he hadn't had time to calm down and think of a name until now, when he could finally put his mind to it.
"Then you probably don't know that the Prince of Kao Shan petitioned the Emperor to pass the throne to our son."
Yang Ruyi leaned close to Lü Xiao's ear and said mysteriously.
A triumphant smile played on her lips, like a little fox who had stolen honey.
If things go as planned, Yang Yu'er's son will be able to be enfeoffed as a king and guard Dengzhou, holding military power in his hands.
At that time, with the military power in the region under the control of the Lü family, what would they have to fear from Yang You?
Forget about the Prince of Dai and the Crown Prince, step aside!
"To whom, Zhen'er or Yan'er?"
Lu Xiao was also confused; what was the Prince of Kao Shan up to?
"It's our son, who hasn't been named yet."
Yang Ruyi reminded him, "This idiot is really stupid, he can't even figure this out."
Now, Lü Xiao understood.
Although this child is not Yang Ruyi's biological child, for the time being, he is indeed her son.
It can be registered under her name; it's perfectly legitimate.
"Has His Majesty agreed?"
Lu Xiao wiped his face; no wonder Yang Ruyi was so excited.
If Yang Yu'er's son truly inherits the throne of the Prince of Kao Shan, then the power of the Lü family will be immense.
With the land of Dengzhou, its troops, money, and provisions all in the hands of the Lü family, who in the court could shake their power?
"He hasn't said anything yet, but Father will definitely summon you later. Just mention it."
Yang Ruyi urged Lü Xiao not to give up this opportunity.
"Ruyi, please spare me! Have you ever seen me open my mouth and ask His Majesty for anything?"
Lu Xiao was truly exasperated by Yang Ruyi; how could this woman be so full of ambition?
He was fighting a good war, and now he has to come back and help her fight for power and profit. How can he live like this?
