The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"But what if she doesn't want to come back with me?"

Emperor Liang's eyes grew increasingly sharp.

"kill!"

……

The war between the Great Liang and the barbarians is raging.

Meanwhile, bad news came from the barbarian royal palace.

The Left Wise King was killed on the battlefield!

how can that be!

The barbarian ministers were all shocked and could not believe the news.

The Left Wise King was the foremost general among the barbarians! Yet he was killed just like that.

"Has the Ninth Prince already led his troops to attack us?"

The barbarian emperor's face was extremely ugly.

Yang Ling's strength was known better than anyone else! The Right Wise King had just died, and now the Left Wise King had also died.

"Yes, the Liang army is heading this way now."

Upon hearing this, the emperor was immediately enraged.

"Damn it! How dare you attack my country! What are you all standing there for? Quickly bring your troops to fight!"

“But…” the ministers hesitated and lowered their heads, “Our soldiers are simply not as good as theirs.”

The barbarian emperor's face darkened upon hearing this.

"Now, the Great Liang and the barbarians are in the same boat. If my country is conquered, do you think they will be spared?"

The barbarian emperor spoke with a serious and earnest expression.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

They'd seen Yang Ling's methods before; if it really came to that...

"We will immediately lead our troops to meet the enemy!"

……

The body of the Left Wise King was returned, and the barbarian emperor was stunned when he saw it.

He never expected that Yang Ling would actually kill the Left Wise King!

He was the number one general among the barbarians!

"Father, what should we do now?"

The barbarian prince looked at him with a serious expression and asked.

The barbarian emperor pursed his lips, staring intently at the corpse of the Left Wise King, his eyes flashing with boundless rage.

"Burn his body."

"what?"

The prince looked at him in surprise.

Shouldn't they be given a proper burial?

The barbarian emperor gave a cold laugh.

"What? Now you want to tell me what to do?"

The prince's heart tightened, and he quickly knelt down: "Your subject dares not."

"It's good that you don't dare. You can trust me."

……

"What did you say!" Crown Prince Yang Shan glared at the messenger with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

He never imagined that all the men he sent out would die! And that woman was completely unharmed!

"Your Highness, we are no match for her..."

The crown prince roared, "How is this possible? So many of you can't even handle one woman?"

The guards looked helpless.

They didn't want to either.

The key issue is that this woman is too powerful; they simply can't handle her!

"waste!"

The crown prince kicked the guard in front of him in a fit of rage, his face contorted with rage.

He finally found such a helpful person, and now he's lost him like this?

"No! That bitch must be killed!"

The prince's eyes narrowed fiercely as he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

We must tell my third brother about this! Otherwise, once he finds out, he definitely won't let that woman off the hook!

……

At this moment, the boundary.

"Your Highness, we're now in the territory of the Great Liang. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Inside the carriage, the boy lifted the curtain.

He had handsome features, exquisite and perfect facial features, and fair and delicate skin, as if he were carved from jade.

Unfortunately, a scar on his cheek makes his face look somewhat distorted.

This scar was left when he and his mother fled.

If it weren't for his mother's desperate efforts to protect him, he would probably be dead by now!

So he vowed to protect his mother for the rest of his life.

He slowly curled the corners of his lips into a faint smile.

"Let's go."

The carriage continued its journey and soon entered the territory of Daliang.

Sunlight streamed down, shining on the boy as if he were gilded with a golden glow.

He lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the light in them.

He looked up at the azure sky, a cold glint in his deep eyes.

He tightened his grip on the reins slightly.

"Mother, I've come to take you home."

……

Beijing.

Prime Minister's House.

Su Yunxi sat in front of the dressing table, stretching out her slender fingers to feel the things on the table.

"Where did this come from?"

Her reflection in the mirror showed her with arched eyebrows, clear and bright eyes, and fair and radiant skin.

She looked at the maid standing beside her: "Where did this hairpin come from?"

The maid was slightly taken aback: "Miss, this hairpin was sent by the old lady today, saying it was to add to your dowry."

Su Yunxi frowned as she looked at the hairpin, feeling that something was off about it.

Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze on her back.

She turned her head and saw a man dressed in black, leaning quietly against the door frame.

"How did you come?"

The man strode over, raised an eyebrow, and a wicked smile played on his lips: "What, can't I come?"

Su Yunxi pouted: "Weren't you too busy to get away?"

"Yes, I've been quite busy lately, after all, I have to prepare the betrothal gifts for my wife."

Su Yunxi was taken aback: "What betrothal gifts?"

The man looked at her with a smile, his eyes seeming to convey some kind of signal.

"Naturally, it's the betrothal gift to marry you."

After saying that, he leaned in and gently kissed Su Yunxi's red lips.

"Well!"

Su Yunxi was so frightened that she almost screamed, and she quickly covered her mouth.

But the next second, she reflexively grabbed the man's neck, glaring at him with threatening eyes.

"what you do!"

"Hmm~" the man replied lazily, then lay down on the bed.

Su Yunxi gritted her teeth.

This guy is absolutely shameless!

No! That lecherous scoundrel!

Su Yunxi glared at him, both embarrassed and angry.

"You...you don't move!"

The man blinked, looking bewildered. "I didn't move. I'm just lying here. Is there a problem?"

Su Yunxi choked, glared at him fiercely, and then turned her head away.

"Who cares if you moved around or not! Get out of here! I don't want to talk to you right now!"

"Oh, in that case, you should rest then." The man said, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"..."

Su Yunxi's face turned a purplish-blue color. Unable to bear it any longer, she lunged forward.

"Get up!"

"You filthy scoundrel, you're taking advantage of me! Don't you dare pretend to be asleep!"

"If you don't open your eyes, I'll strangle you."

"..."

The man kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

Su Yunxi gritted her teeth in anger.

This guy is getting more and more shameless!

Just as she was about to pinch hard, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind.

A warm embrace instantly enveloped her.

She was stiff all over, and it took her a long time to utter two words.

"Yang Xian?"

The man's deep, husky voice rang out: "Xi'er, are you not angry anymore?"
