Lord Liu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen is right. You should still think about the people and yourself. Don't just listen to the Imperial Master, or you will regret it later!"

"Enough!" Xiao Yuanzong said in a stern voice, "Master Jiang is the most loyal minister. He even risked his own lifeblood to research the elixir of immortality for me. In my opinion, apart from Master Jiang, none of you are as loyal to me as he is!"

After these words were spoken, Lord Liu and Shen Yibai fell silent.

They knew very well that Xiao Yuanzong valued Master Jiang the most now. No matter what they said, he would definitely not believe it, and he might even lose his life in the end.

In this way, no one dared to speak up anymore.

Xiao Yuanzong waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please leave."

"I'm leaving!" Shen Yibai bowed and left the imperial study.

When I came outside, I heard the voices of Lord Liu and others behind me.

Shen Yibai paused and turned to look at Lord Liu and the others, "Lord Liu, Lord Zhang, Lord Chen, Lord Lei, is there anything I can do for you?"

Several adults came to Shen Yibai.

Lord Liu sighed and said, "Lord Shen, we still have to persuade the emperor. Otherwise, Prince Heng and his men will definitely attack. With so many troops on the other side, fighting them will only lead to death. We must come up with a foolproof plan."

Lord Zhang echoed, "That's right, Lord Shen. If we allow Imperial Master Jiang to act recklessly in this matter, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Lord Chen said, "Lord Shen, if we don't do anything, I'm afraid our fate will be very ugly."

Shen Yibai said calmly, "My Lords, I have just made some suggestions, but no matter what I said, the Emperor just refused to listen. I have no choice. I'm sorry, I have tried my best."

The emperor they assisted was not a wise ruler. This emperor was narrow-minded, unreasonable, and confused right and wrong. If he were not the emperor, he would have died countless times.

Now he has allowed Master Jiang to do so many evil things, and so many innocent people have died tragically, but he still wants to believe in Master Jiang. Apart from immortality, he has completely lost interest in the people of the world.

Lord Lei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord Shen, then please make some calculations to see if the Great Dynasty can be defended."

Shen Yibai said, "I calculated it last night. The Great Dynasty is in danger."

"What?!" Lord Lei was shocked.

Master Chen said in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Zhang Daren's face suddenly turned pale. "So, is the Great Dynasty really finished?"

Shen Yibai shook his head and said, "No, no, the fate of the Great Dynasty still depends on what the Emperor does. If he is willing to meet with Prince Heng and the others, if he is willing to have a detailed discussion with them, if he is willing to give repeated assurances, then perhaps there is still hope. But you have seen his attitude. The Great Dynasty is beyond redemption, and there is nothing I can do!"

Master Chen sighed, "It's really over now!"

Shen Yibai bowed and said, "My lords, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Without waiting for them to speak, Shen Yibai left.

On the way out of the palace, Shen Yibai unconsciously recalled Song Yao in his mind.

Song Yao's family was exiled, and Prince Heng is now with Song Yao again, which shows that he must have gone to find Song Yao.

But if he really loved Song Yao, why did he marry Xu Lingyi? Why did he hurt her in the first place?

Shen Yibai got on the carriage and wanted to go home, but for some unknown reason he asked the driver to go to the west gate.

When Shen Yibai arrived at the west gate, all the people here had been evacuated, the front gate was closed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed here.

Shen Yibai came to the city wall. When General Wu saw him coming, he bowed and said, "Sir Shen."

"General Wu." Shen Yibai glanced at General Wu and looked down at the city wall.

There was an army stationed in front, with countless tents and soldiers conducting drills.

And Shen Yibai saw Song Yao among the crowd.

When he saw Song Yao, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

That was Song Yao. I hadn't seen her for almost three or four years. I didn't expect that she hadn't changed much from before.

When Song Yao turned around, she saw Shen Yibai standing on the city wall.

Seeing the old friend, Song Yao's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Chi's voice came from my ear, "Is he good-looking?"

Song Yao was stunned for a moment. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Chi looking at her with a smile in his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"What's so good about him? I just happened to see him." Song Yao turned and left.

Xiao Chi followed behind her and said, "From now on, you can only look at me, not other men."

Hearing this, Song Yao paused, looking at Xiao Chi with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Are you sure you want to restrict me like this?"

Xiao Chi put his hands on her shoulders and nodded, "Yes, from now on you can only look at me."

Song Yao rolled her eyes, deliberately looking at Song Zizhou and the others beside her, then glanced at the other soldiers, "Now that I've looked at the other men, what do you say? Are you going to beat me up or throw me out?"

"..."

Xiao Chi lifted her chin, his eyes full of evil, "You are playing with fire."

Song Yao looked disdainful and said, "Don't play your domineering tricks in front of me. I won't eat it."

Song Yao slapped his hand away and left.

"..."

E Yu glanced at Xiao Chi, then looked at Song Yao who was walking over, and said mischievously, "Girl, do you want to see how angry he is?"

Song Yao snorted, "I'm too lazy to look. Where are Xiao Suisui and the others?"

E Yu smiled and said, "They are inside the tent."

"I'll go see them." Song Yao then entered the tent in front.

Now that the weather has warmed up, Xiao Suisui, Xiao Youyou, Wang Xiaoyu and Chen Sheng are playing with the two little guys.

Apart from a few children in the tent, only Feng Yingying was there to accompany them.

As soon as Song Yao came in, E Yu followed in.

E Yu said: "Ayao, I also saw Shen Yibai."

Song Yao turned her head and glanced at E Yu. She said calmly, "Just see it, what does it matter?"

E Yu walked up to Song Yao and said, "What I mean is, now that you've reunited with Xiao Chi, you should be careful in the future and not get so close to Shen Yibai. Men are always jealous, especially a man who loves you deeply. If he sees you getting too close to other men, he'll definitely get jealous, and then things will get out of control."

Song Yao turned around and faced E Yu, saying sternly, "Sister-in-law, even if you're married and you're in love, you still have your own private space and can make friends with other people of the opposite sex. If Xiao Chi really acts like he did before, it would make him look petty."
