Great Ye Empress

Chapter 421 Countermeasures
Without waiting for Xie Yunchu to call him, Xiao Wulang turned his head and said to the little princess' nurse, "Take the little princess back."

Xiao Wulang's expression at this time was completely different from the act of killing someone in front of the city gate that day.

But the calmer Xiao Wulang behaved, the more worried Xie Yunchu became.

Liu Shilang had already stepped in first, and when he looked back, he saw Xie Yunchu standing still in front of the screen, grabbing Xie Yunchu's thin wrist and pulling him in.

In just a few days, Xiao Wulang lost a lot of weight, his facial features became more and more distinct, and his eyes... were not as bright and dazzling as they used to be.

The whole person was full of vigor and vitality, and he couldn't find a little bit of the youthful spirit of the past.

He looked at Xie Yunchu apologetically, adjusted his sitting position slightly, and asked slowly, "Does the injury on Rokuro's back matter?"

Xie Yunchu shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

The words of comfort came to his lips, but Xie Yunchu did not know how to speak...

The word condolences is easy to say, but the pain of losing a loved one is not something everyone can bear.

"Thank you for sending someone to rescue me, and thank you...you saved two children." Xiao Wulang looked at Xie Yunchu, "Liulang, if I have any accident, please help me take care of the two children, the royal family member. People...I'm not worried."

Xie Yunchu's palm tightened: "Senior brother, I can be an uncle, but I can't be a father. If you really have a chance... Your Majesty will not allow me to be an outsider to take care of the royal family's blood."

Liu Shilang heard his righteous brother say something so stubbornly, but he didn't know how to turn around and bumped Xie Yunchu with his elbow.

Xiao Zhiyu had just lost his wife and his wife and woke up from a serious injury. His body and mind were as delicate as grass in the wind. Even if he wanted to tell the truth, he should be softer.

"Yeah, why did I forget..." Xiao Wulang leaned on the soft pillow behind him, closed his eyes, and tears streamed down the corners of his eyes.

Although Xiao Wulang didn't cry, Liu Shilang and Xie Yunchu could both sense the deep despair on Xiao Wulang.

Xie Yunchu was hesitant to tell Xiao Wulang what Xiao Zhiyan had done.

"His Royal Highness..." The steward of Prince Huai's mansion came in and reported to Xiao Wulang through the screen, "His Royal Highness Prince Yan has arrived."

When Xiao Wulang, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, heard this, his hand wrapped in fine cotton cloth slowly clenched the satin under him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Please come in, King Yan..."

Xie Yunchu noticed that Xiao Wulang called Xiao Zhiyan differently, and his heart jumped slightly.

Liu Shilang was once under Xiao Zhiyan's command, and he respected Xiao Zhiyan, but he was also deeply in awe, and quickly said: "Since King Yan has come to visit King Huai, then... the last general will retire with Liulang first, and An Ping will be the first to retire. There are many things going on in the camp, and the last general should leave tomorrow, and come back tomorrow morning to say goodbye to King Huai.”

"Rokuro stay!" Xiao Wulang opened his eyes that were redder from tears, and repeated, "Rokuro stay."

Liu Shilang turned his head to look at Xie Yunchu, Xie Yunchu nodded with him: "I'll be looking for fourth brother in a while."

"Ok, I will wait for you……"

After finishing speaking, Liu Shilang and Xiao Wulang bowed their hands and left, never protesting with Xiao Wulang as childishly as when they were young.

"I heard from the steward, that day you had A-Xia's corpse parked in the yard and sent someone to find a dagger..." Xiao Wulang's pale lips parted, "And then let Yechen bring the dagger and The trace in A-Xia's palm is right, that dagger belongs to A-Xia?"

Xie Yunchu stood at the end of the bed, without hiding Xiao Wulang, nodded.

There is no need for Xie Yunchu to say more, Xiao Wulang already understands everything, and it is precisely because he understands... that he is even more desperate and heartache.

He never defended his second brother, because he knew that the father and emperor had moved his mind towards him. In order to show his intentions... he took Anyang and acquiesced to the second brother's eyeliner, just to let the second brother rest assured.

He will always... always expose his weakest and softest confidant to his second brother without any cover, just to give some peace of mind to the second brother, who has left the country since childhood, lacks trust in people, and is unwilling to reveal his fear. The feeling made him feel that at least his younger brother, who was wholeheartedly waiting to rely on and trust him, was there.

Let his second brother not alienate him because of his father's love for him.

"Actually, tell me, King Yan said... If he wanted that position, I wouldn't even have the courage to raise a sword and fight against him, and I would still be able to sharpen a sword for King Yan, I know it's true! It's just that I don't want to believe it." Xiao Wulang closed his eyes again, his throat rolled and he resisted letting himself make a sound, and said with difficulty, "Liulang, I regret it, it was my wishful trust that killed Anyang."

Killed... the person I love the most in my life.

It's too late to say sorry.

Xie Yunchu lowered his eyes and said, "King Yan and the Northern Wei Dynasty reached an agreement to help King Yan take the throne. I originally thought...they were trying to trap you, but Anyang was the most dangerous one."

"You tried your best, Liu Lang, it's useless to be a senior brother... I didn't do anything for you, but let you run around for me. Thanks to you, the two children can survive! I'm still angry with you." Xiao Wulang opened his mouth sour With swollen eyes, the nose swelled with tears, "Don't be afraid, senior brother will not commit suicide, I dreamed of Anyang, Anyang is worried about her two children, I don't want her to be disturbed after her death..."

In the dream, he wanted to go with Anyang, but was pushed back by Anyang.

Anyang said, I can't worry about my two children...

He thought it over in his dream, and in the end, he could really trust the children... only Gu Xingzhi, who was far away in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his younger brother who sacrificed for his life.

He told Anyang that he could entrust the two children to Rooku.

Anyang just shook his head and told him... She will be by his side every day in the future, and the time will come... She will naturally lead him to Samsara, please be sure to cherish her for her, and don't make her uneasy after her death.

That's why Xiao Wulang asked if he could entrust the child to Rokuro as soon as he saw Rooku.

It cannot be denied that Xie Yunchu is right, the blood of the royal family will not be handed over to Xie Yunchu, who is not a relative or an ancestor.

If the father and the emperor brought the two children into the palace and let him and Anyang's young children face the intrigues in the palace, he and Anyang would both die.

Soon, the steward of Prince Huai's mansion brought Xiao Zhiyan in.

Xiao Zhiyan raised his hand to let the guards stay outside the yard and only led a doctor in.

Going around the ink painting screen carrying the nanmu inlaid with orbs, Xiao Zhiyan saw Xie Yunchu standing at the end of the bed quietly looking at Xiao Wulang who was leaning on the bed with his eyes closed and weak. He didn't know what Xie Yunchu was thinking.

Xu is sympathetic to Xiao Wulang, and Xu is thinking of countermeasures because he cannot persuade Xiao Wulang...

Xiao Zhiyan's eyes swept across the neck covered by Xie Yunchu's high collar.
