The most romantic little emperor

Back at the mansion, Yelu Lingxiao dismissed the guards and invited Li Yihuan into the hall. He walked to the seat at the head, turned around, and said, "Mr. Li, please take a seat."

Li Yihuan thanked him and sat down on the right.

At this time, two maids dressed in traditional Khitan costumes came up, served milk tea, and then bowed and retreated.

Li Yihuan took the milk tea and placed it on the table. He casually took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands, "This is a handwritten letter from the princess."

Yelu Lingxiao walked up to Li Yihuan, took the letter, opened it, read it carefully, and then smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Li Zhuangshi, for saving me just now. Otherwise, I would probably have been killed by now."

Li Yihuan picked up the milk tea and chuckled softly, "You're too polite, Lord Yelu. I just came here to deliver a letter and happened to catch up! Even if I didn't take action, you would definitely be able to escape danger!"

At this time, the guards outside the door reported: "Sir, the battlefield has been cleared and the arrows have been collected. Would you like to take a look?"

Yelu Lingxiao didn't want anyone to know Li Yihuan's true identity, so he walked directly to the door, took the arrow handed to him by the guard, looked at it for a long time, and didn't see anything special.

"Your archery skills are amazing. Could you please take out your bow and arrow so I can see it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yihuan didn't hide anything and directly took out a repeating crossbow from his arms. He also demonstrated it to Yelu Lingxiao personally and explained it carefully: "This is the Qin family repeating crossbow, invented by our Great Xia Emperor."

Yelu Lingxiao looked at the small crossbow in his hand and said in amazement, "This power is amazing. It's easy to operate and can fire continuously. It's countless times more powerful than a bow and arrow."

"It seems that Yelu Zhuoduo's defeat in Yizhou was not unjust!"

Li Yihuan smiled slightly and did not comment.

Yelu Lingxiao asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, may I ask how many of these repeating crossbows are equipped by the Great Xia army?"

Li Yihuan noticed that Yelu Lingxiao was very interested in the Qin's Crossbow. He shook his head and smiled faintly, "You're in a bit of a dilemma now. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure. However, you can write to ask our Emperor."

Yelu Lingxiao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He picked up the milk tea and laughed heartily, saying, "I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you, warrior."

Then he tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Li Yihuan drank the milk tea in his hand.

Yelu Lingxiao put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia has any message for me?"

Li Yihuan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Our Emperor asked me to pass on a message to you..."

……

Soon, the news of Yelu Lingxiao's assassination spread throughout Shangjing.

Xiao Duolilan was shocked when he received the news from his father that his uncle had just left the Xiao Mansion and was assassinated.

She hurried to the deep palace and found the place where Emperor Liao Zuo sought pleasure.

The eunuchs outside the palace hurriedly stopped her, "Your Majesty, you cannot go in!"

Xiao Duoli glanced at the eunuch lazily and said with great authority, "What? Is there something shameful here?"

As she spoke, she rushed into the palace. When she entered, she saw more than a dozen concubines and palace maids entering the back door naked. Their figures were extremely attractive, and the room was filled with the atmosphere of desire.

Even though Xiao Duolilan was used to Emperor Liao Zuo's extravagant behavior and debauchery, he was shocked by the scene before him and his face turned red with shame.

This is not a bedroom at all, it is simply a den of debauchery where Emperor Liao Zuo and his concubines and palace maids made love.

She turned around and walked out of the palace quickly, waiting outside the door for Emperor Liao Zuo to come out.

Emperor Liao Zuo didn't care at all. He put on his coat, walked to the door, and said calmly, "Empress, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

Xiao Duolilan now felt nauseous when he saw Emperor Liaozuo, so he forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, after the court session today, Yelu Xiong and Yelu Xiong secretly visited the Grand Marshal, and the few of them have been plotting for a long time."

"Immediately afterwards, I received news that my uncle, Yelu Lingxiao, had just been assassinated and his life or death is unknown."

When Emperor Liao Zuo heard this, he was extremely shocked. "How could such a thing actually happen?"

"I had just asked Yelu Lingxiao to investigate their crimes of regicide and treason when he was assassinated. It seems they are getting impatient. I underestimated their ambition."

He looked up at Xiao Duolilan and said with a guilty conscience, "I will never sit idly by and wait for death in this matter. I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Xiao Duolilan had no hope for Emperor Liao Zuo, he just wanted an attitude from him.

After getting the verbal promise from Emperor Liao Zuo, Xiao Duoli didn't want to stay here for a moment and turned around and left.

Emperor Liao Zuo glanced at Xiao Duolilan, a glint of desire flashing in his eyes. He quickly pulled Xiao Duolilan's arm and said with a lewd smile, "Queen, since you are here, play with me for a while!"

Xiao Duoli remained calm, gently pulling her arm away from Emperor Liao Zuo's grasp and saying respectfully, "Your Majesty! My uncle's life or death is uncertain. My aunt and two nephews must be extremely sad."

"I am a little worried and want to go visit him. I beg for your permission, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Liao Zuo was immediately disappointed after being turned away by Xiao Duolilan. He quickly waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Go! Go!"

Xiao Duoli was too lazy to thank him before turning around and leaving.

At the same time, the residence of Yelu Hong, the King of the Northern Court, was brightly lit, and all the royal nobles, civil officials and military generals who were close to him in Beijing came.

There are Yelu Hong's younger brother Yelu Xiu and brother-in-law Hadabal. These two can be said to be Yelu Hong's closest and most trusted people.

Only Yelu Xiong did not come. After all, they had just met not long ago, and his identity was sensitive. If he came rashly at this moment, it would be too conspicuous.

Among them, there was a woman who attracted many people's attention. She was Mu Huatri, the daughter of the chief of the Li tribe. She was a very beautiful woman with picturesque eyebrows and graceful figure, but she revealed a rebellious temperament.

Yelu Hong then introduced Mu Huatri to everyone and said in a deep voice, "Mu Huatri is my concubine and represents the will of the chief of the Li tribe."

"I've called you all here today to discuss some important matters."

He paused, then continued, "The Xiao family has repeatedly ruined our plans. At today's court meeting, Yelu Lingxiao deliberately opposed us, and was suddenly summoned by His Majesty. I'm afraid the Xiao family behind him has been instrumental."

"Recently, I have received news from my spies within the palace that Empress Xiao is also restless and has repeatedly advised Your Majesty that we have ulterior motives."

"So, the conflict between us and the Xiao family has come to the surface. I have discussed this with the King of the Southern Court and the Grand Marshal. We can't continue to be passive like this."
