With the addition of Zhang Shu, Ajiu, which originally had only more than a hundred people, became even more powerful.

As a prince, King Jiangling could only maintain two thousand private soldiers. When he heard that Zhang Shu had taken his men to Lin'an City, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

But within three days, the man passed away.

After the death of Prince Jiangling, the only one left in Jiangling City was the prefect Yang Youcai. Yang Youcai was Prince Jiangling's lackey, and when Prince Jiangling died, he was suddenly at a loss.

The entire Jiangling suddenly fell into the hands of Princess Jiangling.

Princess Jiangling completed the funeral of King Jiangling in grief and despair. She heard from King Jiangling's subordinates that it was Yang Ge from Lin'an City who had the intention of rebellion, which angered King Jiangling to death.

Princess Jiangling swore that she would make Yang Ge pay for his blood debt with blood.

Yang Ge sat in the four-corner pavilion of the Han family and put down his teacup with a smile.

"Brother Han, I'm standing in front of you right now, shielding you from the wrath of Princess Jiangling. This is truly heartbreaking!"

Yang Ge held his chest with his hands, looking heartbroken.

Han Heming was so upset that he felt uncomfortable. When he first met Yang Ge, he was quiet and extremely cold. After getting to know him, he realized that he was a fool.

No wonder the servant Moyu beside him knows so many words, it turns out he learned them all from his master.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yang. How can I compensate you?"

Although he knew that Yang Ge was up to something, Han Heming still continued speaking after Yang Ge had said it.

He felt guilty towards Yang Ge. They had done so many things in Lin'an City, and it was Yang Ge who took the blame for them. Although Yang Ge was willing, he felt very uneasy.

As long as he can do it, he will definitely agree to Yang Ge.

"Brother Han, do you really want to compensate me?"

Yang Ge's eyes sparkled, as if he had seen a mouse stealing sesame oil.

"It's natural."

Han Heming promised solemnly.

"Brother Han, can you ask my sister-in-law to prepare a feast for us? It doesn't have to be too fancy, just braised pork, braised pork intestines, chopped pepper fish head, and braised beef."

Ever since Yang Ge had eaten a meal cooked by Song Yanzhi once, he has been obsessed with her cooking skills.

Logically speaking, Yang Ge’s request was not excessive, but... Han Heming looked embarrassed.

"Why, Brother Han, you don't want to agree to such a small request? You know, Princess Jiangling has already tried to assassinate me three times in the past seven days. My heart... hurts so much..."

When Yang Ge finished speaking, he even started to speak in an operatic voice.

"Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, but you also know that I have always been henpecked, and everyone in the family listens to your sister-in-law."

Han Heming's face turned slightly red, he lowered his head and leaned closer to Yang Ge, speaking in a low voice.

Yang Ge knew about this, and he patted Han Heming's shoulder knowingly.

"Then come on, Brother Han. I'm waiting for your good news."

"What are you two whispering about?"

When Song Yanzhi walked over from the corridor, she saw Han Heming and Yang Ge standing very close to each other, as if they were discussing something secret.

"Brother Han and I were talking about how good my sister-in-law is at cooking. Would it be possible for me to have dinner at your house?"

Yang Ge raised his head and smiled faintly.

"Why not? Lord Yang, just order whatever dishes you want."

Song Yanzhi was not someone who was confused. How could she not know how many times Yang Ge had defended Ajiu from the malicious attacks from Jiangling?

"Are you really going to follow my order?"

This time, the smile on Yang Ge's face was even brighter. To be honest, he really wanted to eat a lot of dishes.

I just don't know, if he really ordered all of them, would Han Heming think that he was burdening his wife and kick him out, which would be a waste of time.

"Of course it's true. We've known each other for so long, when have I ever lied to Lord Yang?"

Yang Ge thought so too. Song Yanzhi was a person who disdained to tell lies.

He thought about it and repeated to Song Yanzhi the four things he had just said to Han Heming.

"That's fine. Lord Yang, please stay for dinner tonight. I'll go prepare the food."

Song Yanzhi likes to cook. Even after she had servants at home, she often cooked for Han Heming and the children.

It was only after she gave birth to two daughters that she reduced the number of times she cooked because they became so clingy.

Soon, the dishes that Yang Ge wanted to eat were ready. Song Yanzhi made four more dishes, making a total of eight dishes. They also paired them with pear blossom wine brewed by Han Heming himself. The three of them had dinner in the four-corner pavilion.

The summer breeze was very cool, and it was quite pleasant for the three of them to drink wine and chat and laugh.

The moon was above the willows and the wine was in full swing when a servant came running in in a hurry.

"Master and Madam, there is news from the capital."

After the servant finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Ge, hesitating whether to continue.

Han Heming glanced at him.

"Lord Yang is not an outsider. If you have something to say, just speak directly. Why hesitate?"

After hearing what Han Heming said, the servant no longer hesitated.

"News came from the capital that the emperor is dead."

After the young servant finished speaking, he stepped aside. The three people in the pavilion remained silent for a long time.

We are already facing internal and external troubles. If there is another national mourning, the world will be in chaos.

Now he has no place to come out. He is probably an important official in the court. He is afraid that he can't control the situation, so he keeps it secret.

After hearing what the servant said, Yang Ge stood up from the table.

"I'm afraid the world is in turmoil now. I have to go back and inform my family to prepare."

He exchanges information with his family every day, so his family should have been informed of such a major event.

But he has not received any news until now. It can only be said that the news from their family is not as fast as Han Heming's.

In other words, the channel for transmitting information in their family was blocked.

No matter what the situation is, he must communicate with his family and let them prepare early.

Han Heming and Song Yanzhi also have to make preparations, as their family is going to Beijing.

On the surface, except for Prince Jing, Prince Jing is disabled.

This little emperor was the only descendant of the great emperor. His death meant that the great emperor's lineage had no heir.

The identities of Ajiu and Tuantuan can be revealed to clear the innocence of the lineage of the virtuous king and ascend the throne.

As soon as she made the decision to go to Beijing, Song Yanzhi ordered the servants in her house to pack her luggage.

They had only packed half of their luggage when news came from the capital.

This news left the Han family dumbfounded, and made Ajiu and Tuantuan unsure whether to be happy or sad.

"Dad, what did you say? My grandpa is not dead?"

Ajiu looked at Han Heming in disbelief.

"Yes, I just received news from the capital that your grandfather has ascended the throne."

Han Heming handed the letter in his hand to Ajiu. Ajiu took the letter, read it again and again, and took several steps back in disbelief.

"Grandpa is not dead, so why did he send us brothers away back then? Also, why is there no news about my parents here?"
