Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

The three of them stayed together for a short while, then quickly separated.

Dou Qingran led her men and rushed to the palace.

Once they were out of sight, Yang Sanlang looked at Zhao Yan and asked, "Yan'er, don't you want to go and see?"

Zhao Yan glanced at him, knowing the answer already, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yang Sanlang touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Let's see... let's see what those court officials will do to Brother Dou?"

Actually, he just wanted to help.

However, on second thought, what if he were there and Brother Dou wanted to give the Emperor to him?

Before Zhao Yan could say anything, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Never mind, let's go back and wait for Brother Dou."

After a whole night of fighting, Yan'er must be exhausted.

"Well, let's go."

Zhao Yan put away the dagger and slowly walked back.

Yang Sanlang's dark eyes flickered slightly. He told one of Dou Qingran's close guards where they were staying and then hurriedly followed after them.

The two returned to the courtyard, washed up, and changed into clean clothes before going to bed.

As for the ups and downs in the palace, Zhao Yan was neither worried nor concerned.

When she woke up, she sent a message by carrier pigeon to Yuanbo and the others, asking them to come to the capital.

There are also the northern barbarians, who have been entrenched in the north for many years and have always been a potential threat.

Just before going to sleep, a bold idea suddenly popped into her head, but she was too tired and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Yu Hao rushed to the small courtyard where they were.

"Brother Yang, this is great news! The general has now become the emperor! Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sanlang also laughed.

"That's definitely a good thing."

"How is it? Those officials in the imperial court didn't give Brother Dou any trouble, did they?"

Yu Hao didn't rush to answer. He first poured himself a cup of tea, gulped it down, and then told Yang Sanlang about what happened in the palace last night.

"Brother Yang, you don't know how angry I was last night. Those old fogies in the court initially refused to acknowledge the general, and even called him a traitor. If the general hadn't been so firm, those ministers would have really fooled him."

Zhao Yan lowered her gaze slightly, touching the teacup as she asked, "And then? How was it resolved?"

Speaking of this, Yu Hao couldn't help but laugh.

"Later, the new emperor, who had been pushed to the throne by the court officials, suddenly refused to be emperor, crying and shouting that he didn't want to be emperor anymore. When the officials saw that he was making a big fuss, they all immediately shut up. Hehe, naturally no one dared to question the general anymore."

"No, His Majesty is still dealing with Zhou Ning's harem beauties in the palace. Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Yang, you don't know, that beast Zhou Ning has collected quite a lot of beauties, at least one or two thousand."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sanlang immediately felt a toothache.

One or two thousand women?

Wouldn't that exhaust that beast Zhou Ning to death?

He glanced furtively at Zhao Yan, who was also looking at him with a half-smile.

Yang Sanlang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away in fright.

Oh no, did Yan'er misunderstand him?

Yu Hao was still rambling on.

"Those beauties were all stunningly beautiful. When they saw the emperor, who was tall and imposing, they all rushed towards him. That tiger really scared us men half to death. We quickly grabbed our knives and charged forward to scare the women away."

"Brother Yang, you don't know, the Emperor is worried about these women."

Zhao Yan picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "What's there to worry about? Just send them all out of the palace."

She had never seen any woman with Dou Qingran, so she assumed he was not yet married.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hao immediately said, "But those women are crying and begging the Emperor not to send them out of the palace. They have been in the deep palace for more than ten years. Going out would mean certain death. Isn't this exactly what the Emperor is worried about?"

"hehe."

Zhao Yan curled the corners of her lips and let out a cold laugh.

"Does he not want to leave the palace? Or does he not want to lose the wealth and glory he enjoys there? I'm sure those women know the answer best. Go back and tell the Emperor that he, a dignified man, cannot be controlled by a few women. If this matter troubles him, how will he handle the more complicated affairs of state in the future?"

After saying that, she slammed the teacup down, got up, and left.

Yang Sanlang shuddered, the light in his dark eyes flickering.

His daughter Yan'er... is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yu Hao was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He asked Yang Sanlang cautiously, "Brother Yang, is your wife...is she angry?"

"will not."

Yang Sanlang smiled at him.

"Don't worry, Yan'er is not a narrow-minded person. Go back and mention this to the Emperor, and tell him to be more decisive in his actions and to make decisions when necessary."

Yu Hao thought for a moment, then immediately stood up and said, "Alright, Brother Yang, then I'll take my leave now."

Yang Sanlang nodded slightly to him, "Mm."

Yu Hao left in a hurry.

After seeing the person off, Yang Sanlang found Zhao Yan in the bedroom.

He stood at the door for a long time, hesitating, until Zhao Yan looked over before he stepped inside.

"Yan'er, did you... misunderstand something just now?"

Zhao Yan raised her eyes and looked at Yang Sanlang with a clear and sharp gaze.

"What did I misunderstand?"

“I don’t want any other women,” Yang Sanlang said hastily. “Yan’er, I only want you in this life.”

What did you think it was?

It turns out to be this.

Zhao Yan curled the corners of her lips and said to Yang Sanlang with a smile, "You're overthinking it. I never doubted you. I was just a little disappointed in Brother Dou."

"Brother Dou is decisive and ruthless in leading troops into battle, but I never expected him to be so... well, he's the emperor now, so it's up to him to decide how to deal with those women."

Once Yuanbo arrives in the capital, they will soon be leaving.

How long Dou Qingran can hold onto the throne depends on his abilities.

Yang Sanlang still had a lot of confidence in Dou Qingran.

"Don't worry, Brother Dou has only just ascended the throne and is not yet familiar with everything. Given time, he should know what to do."

Zhao Yan simply responded with a faint "Mm".

She's not in a hurry at all, okay?

His gaze lowered, catching sight of the letter in the woman's hand, and Yang Sanlang couldn't help but ask, "Yan'er, what is this...?"

"Oh, I wrote a letter to Yuanbo and the others, preparing to ask them to come to the capital as soon as possible."

"Perfect, take this to the escort agency and have them deliver the letter to the north as soon as possible."

As Zhao Yan spoke, she handed over the letter in her hand.

Yang Sanlang quickly took the letter, nodded to Zhao Yan, and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

He found the largest security escort agency, paid double the amount of silver, and instructed them to deliver the letter as soon as possible.

After receiving the silver, the escort agency immediately dispatched men to the north.
