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

Xiao Ce indeed thought so too.

The reason he wanted to say this was indeed, as Hu Yidao had said, that the time was ripe.

It wouldn't hurt for him to tell Hu Yidao, since he wouldn't be able to hide anything from Hu Yidao afterward.

Moreover, there's really no need for him to do anything right now.

All he needed to do was wait quietly, since the people he had sent out also needed to be gradually infiltrated.

Moreover, he could sense that what Etuoke said didn't sound like a lie; in terms of safety, Lou Yao should be safe...

Moreover, he always felt that this matter was not as simple as Xiao Ce thought.

Furthermore, whether it's the instructor, Wuwei, or Linbang, they're all over there.

If Lou Yao needs help, they will definitely do so.

In the days that followed, Xiao Ce had much more free time.

After all, everything that needed to be done has been done; all that's left is to wait for the flowers to bloom!

...

Meanwhile, in Uzbekistan, they were a large force that had come from there.

Therefore, their journey was slow, and they had only just arrived in the capital city of Uzbekistan.

Upon arrival in the city, all the people lined the streets to welcome them.

Diliti was beaming with joy as he basked in all the glory. Once outside the city, the arriving army was stationed there.

Some of the mission's officials went into the city and then returned home.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Diliti wanted to go inside with them.

Chi Gao blocked Diliti's way.

Diliti greeted Chi Gao with a smile and said, "Lord Chi Gao, what brings you here?"

Chi Gao said to Dilit, "Dilti, you don't need to go in."

After hearing Chi Gao's words, Diliti said awkwardly, "Don't we want to go in? Didn't you say that the Queen Mother was hosting a banquet in this palace today to celebrate our victory?"

Chi Gao said indifferently, "Celebrating victory? What does that have to do with you? What did they do for you?"

Diliti said awkwardly, "Wasn't this something I orchestrated?"

Chi Gao snorted coldly and said, "Without the First Lady, what business is it of yours? You weren't at the First Lady's victory celebration banquet! You've been out for long enough, go see your family."

Diliti gave an awkward smile upon hearing Xiao Ce's words: "This..."

Upon hearing Diliti speak, Chi Gao quickly interjected, "Why not? Do you have any objections?"

Diliti waved his hand and said, "No...no...no objection!"

Chi Gao smiled and said, "It's good that you have no objections... Then please leave."

Diliti's face was incredibly ugly as he awkwardly looked at Chi Gao.

"Lord Chi Gao, may I ask who was present at this victory celebration banquet?"

With a smile, Chi Gao said to Diliti, "Don't worry about who's who, it's not you!"

Chi Gao's words were truly a blow to the heart.

Before Diliti could finish speaking, Chi Gao gestured for him to proceed.

Diliti then left in embarrassment.

However, he didn't go far; he stayed in the vicinity.

He wanted to see who had replaced him inside…

After waiting for a while at the city gate, Chi Gao waited at the gate.

After waiting for a while, we saw the coach arrive with some other people.

These people were none other than the instructors, Wuwei and Linbang!

Judging from Chi Gao's attitude towards the three people, he was still quite polite.

Diliti's expression turned gloomy, and without saying a word, he left.

At this moment, at the palace gate, the instructor, Wuwei, and Linbang looked around.

"Lord Chi Gao, did you summon us?"

Chi Gao said to Wu Wei, who was at the head of the group, "That's right, our Queen Mother has already hosted a banquet in the palace to thank you! If it weren't for the three of you's great help, we wouldn't have been able to achieve such a great victory!"

Wuwei gave an awkward smile; they didn't quite understand what was going on with Chi Gao.

So he didn't dare to say anything for a moment.

The three of them looked at each other.

Chi Gao continued, "Everyone, don't worry. We're actually on the same side!"

Wu Wei looked at Chi Gao, his expression becoming increasingly puzzled.

Just then, Chi Gao said to the three people, "Gentlemen, let's talk about this after we enter the palace."

Seeing the three hesitate, Chi Gao continued, "You're not scared, are you?"

The three men shook their heads in succession and said, "Lord Chi Gao, you really are joking... Since we're here, we're naturally not afraid... Why would we be afraid of death?"

With that, Chi Gao smiled and said to the three people, "Then, please come in."

The instructor, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Lord Chi Gao, we have a question. We will decide whether or not to follow you in after you answer it."

After listening to the coach's words, Chi Gao smiled and said, "Of course..."

The instructor said to Chi Gao, "Lord Chi Gao, is the Empress Dowager you mentioned Lou Yao?"

Hearing the instructor's words, Chi Gao smiled in surprise and said, "Haha, as expected of the instructor, you really are a prophet. That's right, it's Lou Yao!"

Hearing Chi Gao's words, the coach looked embarrassed and said, "Lou Yao, wasn't she in danger? Didn't she need us to rescue her? How did she become the Empress?"

All three of them were shocked when they heard the news.

After all, they knew that the message they received was to rescue Lou Yao.

How did Lou Yao suddenly become the Queen Mother of Uzbekistan?

This is something they simply cannot accept!

Seeing the three men's grim expressions, Chi Gao immediately explained, "It's alright...it's alright...please don't be nervous. Since the Queen Mother has invited you, she has naturally prepared an explanation! She will definitely satisfy you!"

Just then, Chi Gao gestured to the three people again, inviting them to join him.

The three of them looked at each other.

The coach said to the other two, "Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Wu Wei nodded: "That's right, since she invited us, it means she definitely intends to speak with us!"

Just then, the three of them followed Chi Gao inside.

After entering the palace, they found themselves in a palace.

A large round table has been set up; this custom of using round tables is unique to the Xiao Kingdom.

Just as they arrived at the door, a beautiful woman and her entourage were already waiting for them!

After the cult leader, Wuwei, and Linbang saw the woman, they sized her up.

Just as they were sizing her up.

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Gentlemen, Lou Yao has been waiting here for a long time! You three generals must be tired!"

The cult leader's face turned very ugly after hearing this.

"Lou Yao, didn't you say you were...?"

Before the leader could finish speaking, Chi Gao shouted sternly, "How dare you address the Empress Dowager by her name!"

The beautiful woman smiled and waved at Chi Gao, saying, "Chi Gao, it's alright! These three are all our own people!"

Then, Chi Gao said to the beautiful woman, "Generals, why don't you come in and have a chat..."

The instructor stared sharply at the beautiful woman and said, "Then, how should we address you?"

Lou Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Call me Princess!"

The three of them listened, looking at each other.

Lou Yao said, "The three of you, since you're all here, please come in. I called you here, and I'm sure I'll give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Seeing this, the three nodded and went inside.

The beautiful woman walked straight to the seat of honor, then gestured for the three people to sit down, and said, "Please, all of you, take your seats."

After the three people sat down...

The beautiful woman clapped her hands, and some of the prepared servants began to serve the dishes.

The instructor kept scrutinizing the beautiful woman. She was radiant and looked completely pampered, showing no sign of needing any help whatsoever.

As the dishes were served one by one, the beautiful woman continued, "Gentlemen, these were all arranged by my men! These are dishes from the Kingdom of Xiao. Generals, please try them. I wonder if they suit your tastes."

The instructor stood up and said, "Your Highness, let's not rush to eat! I think we should clear things up a bit! Otherwise, we really won't be able to swallow this meal! Your Highness, you should know that the old prince has died, right?"

A hint of sadness flashed in Lou Yao's eyes, then she said, "That's right! I came here to give you an explanation."

Then Lou Yao said to the servants beside her, "You may all leave!"

After the servants withdrew, Lou Yao looked at Chi Gao standing to one side and said, "Chi Gao, you may also leave."

Chi Gao was initially surprised, but then reluctantly nodded and bowed in agreement.

...

Meanwhile, in Shanshan, Xiao Ce was enjoying a leisurely time.

However, on this day, he had just woken up when Hu Yidao woke him up!

Xiao Ce immediately tensed up, after all, Hu Yidao wouldn't come looking for him unless something was wrong...

Xiao Ce said to Hu Yidao, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Hu Yidao nodded: "Reporting to Your Highness, yes, it seems that something has indeed happened!"

Xiao Ce's face was extremely grim: "Something happened? What happened?"

Hu Yidao said to Xiao Ce, "It was someone sent by Consort Hui..."

Xiao Ce's expression turned extremely ugly after hearing Hu Yidao's words!

After all, it should be noted that he and Consort Hui had no connection whatsoever.

There is only one situation in which Consort Hui will come to him.

That means something happened to Xiao Yang…

Xiao Ce quickly said to Hu Yidao, "Go and call the messenger over!"

After nodding, Hu Yidao stopped talking and turned to leave.

Xiao Ce suddenly remembered something and asked Hu Yidao, "By the way, have you examined him?"

Hu Yidao smiled slightly at Xiao Ce: "Your Highness, rest assured! This has definitely been checked! There's absolutely no problem!"

So they summoned a scout, who looked travel-worn and disheveled!

However, looking at this face, Xiao Ce was still completely unfamiliar with it; he was quite certain he had never seen it before.

It shouldn't be the person who left it for Xiao Yang before.

After this person came over, without saying a word, he pleaded with Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, the King of Mobei, please save our Prince Xiao Yang!"

Xiao Ce looked at the newcomer, sized him up a few times, and then asked, "Don't be in such a hurry to beg me. Tell me first, who are you?"
