Since you're going to die anyway, why not fight for it?

He has been planning this for so long anyway, so why not strike when they are off guard? Maybe there is still a chance of winning!

Otherwise, by the time Xie Jingchi reacted, the army under the command of the Wolf King would be transferred back from Liangzhou, and he would have no chance of winning.

Not only that, now that Shen Shuyi is married to Xie Jingchi, wouldn't the troops of Qingyuan Marquis Mansion also be a help to him?

Could it be that both Xiao Heyu and Xiao Yuncheng had been deceived by their father from the very beginning?

The person father truly favors is Xie Jingchi from the beginning to the end?

When Xiao Tingshan thought of this, he felt very upset.

"Your Highness?" Shen Jingyu spoke slowly. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she knew that he must be worrying too much again.

Xiao Tingshan came back to his senses: "How are Mingyu and Mingjin?"

After all, they are his own children. In the past few years, he has not been able to have another child, so the pair of children born by Lou Yulan are particularly important.

What's more, he still has memories of the two children from his previous life, so naturally he has deeper feelings for them.

"Mingjin is studying, and Mingyu hasn't woken up yet." Shen Jingyu observed his expression calmly. Xiao Tingshan coughed twice and said, "These two children are too naughty. You still need to teach them well."

When these things were mentioned, Xiao Tingshan felt even more upset.

It was obvious that both children were extremely intelligent and had excellent academic performance in their previous lives, but for some reason, they were both extremely naughty in this life.

But Shen Jingyu was obviously a lady from a famous family. Even if her face was ruined, her knowledge was real. I don’t know why the two children became like this. They are not as cute as they were in their previous lives.

"Yes."

"Okay, you can leave first." Xiao Tingshan ordered them to leave, wondering whether he should send Mingyu and Mingjin away if he really wanted to start a rebellion.

Otherwise, this would be a matter of life and death. If the emperor had always had little feelings for him, his own children would inevitably be implicated.

"Iron Eagle."

As Xiao Tingshan finished speaking, Tieying flashed in from outside the door: "Your Highness."

"Please send a message to General Mingwei, General Huoqi and Prince Duan, asking them to be present at the birthday party of the Sixth Prince's wife." Xiao Tingshan calculated the time. It happened that Shen Jingyu's birthday was approaching. Xiao Tingshan planned to take this opportunity to discuss something with a few people.

Twenty days later, the weather started to get colder.

Although it is not winter yet, Shen Shuyi is too lazy to go out.

Emperor Qianwu's health became more tired with the changing weather, and the short stay in the palace that had been arranged early on was soon put on the agenda.

Xie Jingchi and other favored ministers were chosen to accompany him, and Emperor Qianwu also brought Concubine Duan and Concubine Xiang with him.

In addition, he brought 3,000 imperial guards and assigned Feng Bochang's 10,000 troops to guard the palace. Another 20,000 troops were stationed in the area near the palace for support and patrol. In addition, Huo Xuan's 10,000 troops accompanied him. At the same time, the seventh prince Xiao Ziqian and the twelfth prince Xiao Hongyan also brought their men there.

The difference was that Xiao Hongyan brought bags full of food, while Xiao Ziqian brought two thousand elite soldiers to provide close protection for Emperor Qianwu.

Of course, Xiao Tingshan, who was favored by the emperor, would not be forgotten, but Xiao Tingshan only brought a few hundred elite soldiers and Shen Jingyu. Apart from that, it was quiet.

After hearing the news, Shen Shuyi looked eagerly at Xie Jingchi in front of him: "You really won't take me with you?"

Seeing this, Xie Jingchi sat down beside her, stroked her belly and said in a deep voice: "You are now in your advanced stage of pregnancy and the weather is cold. Although this is a sure thing, there are still variables. Why don't you stay here and I will arrange some people to protect you..."

Xie Jingchi became more and more speechless. There was no other reason for this, because Shen Shuyi just stared at him coldly, obviously not intending to waste any more words with him.

Xie Jingchi: “…”

Having said that, he didn't want to say anything more. After all, he knew Shen Shuyi's personality very well. Even if he talked his mouth off, he couldn't stop her.

Xie Jingchi walked to the window, sulking.

It’s not that I’m angry at her, but that I can’t stop her.

Seeing that he was silent and looked dejected, Shen Shuyi walked up to him and tugged at his sleeve: "Are you angry?"

Xie Jingchi turned around and hugged her in his arms, saying in a deep voice: "No, it's just that this is the first time I care about someone so much, I'm afraid of losing them."

He was invincible on the battlefield and remained calm in the turbulent court. He did not force life and death in the world, until she came into his life.

He could no longer be the Xie Jingchi he used to be. He suddenly wanted to live more than anyone else.

He wants to be a good husband and a good father.

"Xie Jingchi, I'm not a flower kept in a greenhouse. Don't think I'm useless." Shen Shuyi leaned in his arms and spoke softly.

Despite this, she sighed that after living two lives, she finally understood the feeling of being cared for by others.

It is not a shackle or a fetter, but an endless power that allows you to grow wings.

"It's because you are so powerful that I am even more worried." Xie Jingchi put his arms around her plump waist and could smell the pleasant cool fragrance on her body.

"Don't worry, I can protect myself. I have Mo Yu's hidden arrows, a hairpin with a mechanism, and various medicinal powders developed by Mr. Lian Cheng. I also have countless friends around me who are willing to risk their lives for me."

So Xie Jingchi, don’t be afraid.

The road of life is full of ups and downs, and fighting amidst swords and spears.

Fortunately, we all have each other now.

Two days later, the streets of the capital were bustling with activity. The common people were stopped by the imperial guards on both sides of the road, standing on tiptoe to look around.

Until the palace convoy appeared, a guard on horseback shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived, everyone must retreat! Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guard drew out a long sword that shone with a cold light.

As Emperor Qianwu's carriage appeared, the people on both sides knelt on the ground.

For a moment, thunderous cheers rang out.

"Long live your majesty!"

Several princes rode large horses following the carriage, while the carriages of the accompanying officials and their families followed at the end.

Shen Shuyi was sitting in the car reading a book, while Xie Jingchi was sitting beside her peeling grapes for her.

"Are there any loopholes in my arrangements in the capital? I think Xiao Tingshan might have two plans." Shen Shuyi put down the book, still a little worried.

Based on her understanding of Xiao Tingshan, he might be attacking Emperor Qianwu in the palace while trying to obtain the imperial edict for his succession.

On the other hand, if he fails, he will most likely seize the capital and force the emperor to abdicate.

"Don't worry, Madam is thoughtful and Xiao Tingshan will never succeed." Xie Jingchi wiped his hands with a handkerchief and spoke lightly.

Shen Shuyi was a little speechless. She felt that he was now like a flatterer. He said yes to everything she did. Shen Shuyi felt that she was about to get carried away.

She simply stopped asking and thought about it again. Only after confirming that there was no problem did she feel relieved.
