Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Otok immediately replied, "Of course! It was you people from Xiao Kingdom who came!"

Xiao Ce asked Etuoke, "Are you sure?"

Etuoke nodded and said, "Of course! Of course I know. She escaped from Xiao Kingdom. At first, my sister took her in. There's absolutely no problem with that! I saw it myself back then."

Xiao Ce said to Etuoke, "Tell me about this in detail."

Etuoke naturally dared not disobey.

The emperor of Uzbekistan was inspecting the border at that time because Otog's sister was his favorite concubine.

Therefore, they were also fortunate enough to accompany them.

While the emperor of Uzbekistan was inspecting his army, Otok's sister wanted to see the Nu Mountains.

Since the Western Regions were a vassal state of the Xiao Kingdom at that time, it was not difficult to go there.

So Etok and his sister went to the Nu Mountains, and on the way, they encountered a woman being chased.

Etuoke's sister, acting out of chivalry, saved the woman.

After inquiring, it was learned that the woman was from the Xiao Kingdom and her name was Lou Yao.

He knew nothing else.

It wasn't until later, after Lou Yao and Etuoke's sister became close, that Lou Yao's true identity was revealed.

However, Etuoke's sister only mentioned that Lou Yao had a very noble status in the Xiao Kingdom.

That's all they've revealed.

Later, Lou Yao went back with her sister Etok and caught the eye of the old emperor of Uzbekistan.

Lou Yao was initially unwilling. However, after returning to the capital of Uzbekistan, Lou Yao suddenly changed her mind and asked her sister, Otok, for help.

Lou Yao became the concubine of the old emperor of the Kingdom of Uz.

A few years ago, Lou Yao gave birth to a child, and not long after, the old emperor of Uzbekistan passed away.

He left behind an imperial edict, appointing the child as emperor.

At that time, Lou Yao's child was not yet a year old, and there were many eligible men in the Kingdom of Uz who could become princes.

Just when everyone thought that Uzbekistan was facing a split, Lou Yao managed to take control of the situation.

Nobody knows how she did it...

Anyway, since then, the country of Uzbekistan has developed rapidly, with the young emperor officially in charge.

The real emperor behind the scenes is Lou Yao. Over the years, as the young emperor has grown up, Lou Yao has gradually stopped showing herself, and her personal eunuch Chi Gao has taken over the reins.

Chi Gao then launched Diliti, which is said to have royal blood...

These secrets are unknown only to ordinary people, but are known to the high-ranking officials of Uzbekistan.

Etuoke spoke very seriously and carefully.

Judging from his expression, Etok was not joking.

However, the information that Otog said was completely different from what Xiao Ce had received.

Seeing that Xiao Ce remained silent, Etuoke knelt respectfully on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Just then, 'Don't Cry' respectfully asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, are you satisfied with his answer?"

The reminder to 'not cry' pulled Xiao Ce back from his thoughts.

Xiao Ce looked at Etuoke, who was still kneeling on the ground, kowtowing respectfully.

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Otok, "Otok, have you sent any messages back from here?"

Otog shook his head: "No... Your Highness... No... I didn't know I would end up like this, let alone face such a crushing defeat!"

As she spoke, 'Don't Cry' coughed softly beside her.

Etok was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled so much that he couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, Xiao Ce said to 'Don't Cry' beside him, "Don't scare him. Let him speak first!"

"Don't cry" nodded respectfully, then said to Etok, "Continue!"

Otok nodded, his voice trembling, and said, "Reporting to Your Highness... we did not expect our people to be so easily defeated. We did not even have a chance to send a message... so I can guarantee that the Kingdom of Uzbekistan knows absolutely nothing about what's happening here."

Xiao Ce looked at Etuoke with great interest: "You guarantee it?"

Otok nodded awkwardly, "No...yes...I promise!"

Xiao Ce said to Etuoke, "Don't you know that there are no secrets in the world? I didn't kill everyone. Do you think you can guarantee that?"

Otok looked tense. After a moment of contemplation, he seemed to have figured something out.

"Your Highness, please rest assured... I have their contact information. Even if they hear some rumors, they will definitely write to inquire... As long as I don't say anything, they won't know..."

Upon hearing Otok's words, Xiao Ce smiled faintly: "Not bad... a smart man... If you're obedient, I can let you continue your previous life of debauchery here!"

Etuoke nodded vigorously.

"Your Highness, I'm willing to listen to you in everything! Whatever you say, I'll obey. I've actually been displeased with that vixen Lou Yao for a long time... If it weren't for her, my nephew would be sitting on the throne now, and I would be a proper imperial brother-in-law..."

Looking at Etuoke's expression, Xiao Ce clearly misunderstood.

He thought that Xiao Ce and Lou Yao were enemies.

Xiao Ce smiled but didn't respond: "Alright, then please take a seat. I've arranged a few performances for you..."

Etok nodded respectfully.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce waved to Hu Yidao and then whispered a few words.

Etuoke sat down awkwardly to the side.

A short while later, Hu Yidao brought some girls to dance.

The girls' clothes and movements were all trained.

Otog was a womanizer.

This scene completely stunned Etuoke.

These girls even forgot about their own situation and danced to their heart's content.

He was even whistling and cheering.

Seeing what Otog looked like, Xiao Ce finally understood what a professional lecher was.

However, Xiao Ce was very satisfied with Etuoke's reaction.

Xiao Ce originally intended to use Otok to infiltrate the powerful and influential people in Uzbekistan.

The dance ended.

The girls bowed and withdrew, and Etok's soul seemed to drift away with them.

Seeing that Etuoke was staring at them with a lovesick expression as they left, Xiao Ce said casually, "Etuoke, how was it?"

Xiao Ce's words immediately pulled Etuoke back to reality from his fantasy.

Only then did he realize his lapse in composure.

"Your Highness, please forgive me... It's not just that your girls are beautiful, their dancing is unheard of! Wonderful! Absolutely amazing!"

Xiao Ce nodded in agreement with Otok’s words and said, “Very good! Since you think it’s good, then send all these girls to the sons of powerful and wealthy families in Uzbekistan. What do you think?”

Otog was just arrogant before; he wasn't stupid...

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, he naturally understood what he meant: "No problem, Your Highness. You've really come to the right person. I know the young masters among the powerful and influential people of Uz very well..."

"However, I wonder if these girls of yours have any background or status! If not, I'm afraid they'll only be sent to be concubines at most!"

Before anyone could speak, Ling Chang, who had been standing to the side, said, "Whatever identity you want, I can give you!"

When Etuoke heard Ling Chang say that, he smiled and nodded: "In that case, there is no problem."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, you and Ling Chang can discuss the specifics of how to implement it. It doesn't necessarily have to be the most powerful young master!"

Etuoke nodded.

Xiao Ce said to Ling Chang, "You can screen the candidates inside."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce, who had been busy all day, was a little tired and waved his hand.

After they nodded, they went about their business.

After watching them leave, Xiao Ce said to the girls, "Girls, after you send those people over, go and find out everything about Lou Yao. All the news!"

"Of course, all of this has one prerequisite: secrecy! It must be extremely secrecy! Don't alert the enemy."

The seasonal girls nodded and withdrew.

After sending those officials away, Xiao Ce rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

Hu Yidao, standing to the side, said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, how about I show you what I've got?"

Hearing Hu Yidao's words, Xiao Ce asked in surprise, "What? You want to chop my head off with a knife?"

Seeing Xiao Ce joking, Hu Yidao laughed and said, "Of course not! No! I learned the massage technique from the seasonal girls!"

Xiao Ce was genuinely surprised to hear Hu Yidao say this: "You've even studied massage?"

Hu Yidao nodded: "That's right. Back then, when we were in the northern desert, we were just killing time! I saw them talking about how they learned their massage techniques from you... so I learned a bit from them. Don't worry, I definitely mastered the essence."

Looking at Hu Yidao's confident demeanor...

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.

Hu Yidao then started massaging Xiao Ce for a few minutes.

As the saying goes, you can tell a master's skill with just one move!

As soon as Hu Yidao started working, Xiao Ce felt comfortable.

"Your Highness, how was it? Was it professional enough?"

Xiao Ce nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Not bad... you really are a swordsman who doesn't do his job properly!"

Hu Yidao listened and laughed, saying, "Your Highness, this is truly the best compliment you can give me!"

Then, Hu Yidao cautiously asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, is the matter of Lou Yao that you just asked about related to the previous rebellion of the Prince of Zhen?"

When Hu Yidao asked, Xiao Ce did not hide anything.

"Not bad, you're quite a smart person!" Xiao Ce nodded and said.

Seeing that Xiao Ce was taking the initiative, Hu Yidao's gossip spirit was immediately ignited: "Your Highness, would you mind telling me about it? Judging from your appearance, you seem to be quite troubled by this matter? Why don't you trouble yourself to tell me about it, and see if I can help you resolve some of your worries?"

Xiao Ce pondered for a moment and then asked, "Want to know?"

Hu Yidao chuckled: "That's right, Your Highness, you should trust me."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course. Now, please listen to what I have to say."
