Liang Yu was delighted.
“You are too polite! The Nangong family had made great contributions to the Great Yan. As a descendant of the Nangong family, Consort Shu should not have ended up like this.”
“Consort Shu and the First Prince could not bear to see a loyal minister humiliated.”
The corner of Li Xiao’s mouth curled up, revealing a bitter smile.
The descendants of loyal officials, loyal officials and good generals since ancient times, how many…of them had a good ending?
After a long while, Li Xiao looked at Liang Yu again.
“I already understand your intentions. Please go back and tell the First Prince that I will do it.”
Liang Yu’s eyes lit up.
“But 1 want to talk to him personally.” Li Xiao continued.
Liang Yu’s expression froze for a moment before he regained his composure.
“Alright. Don’t worry. I will report this matter to His Highness.”
The Nangong family had been in charge of the Great Yan’s army for generations, and the generals in the army were under them.
Even if the Nangong family was convicted, there were many generals in the army who had objections.
This was also the reason why the Emperor wanted to eradicate the Nangong family.
After all, some people in the military knew that Li Xiao was the Great General’s biological son.
If the First Prince could win over Li Xiao, it would be considered winning over the hearts of the soldiers.
In the future, if it really came to that, perhaps the First Prince would be able to ascend the throne before the Emperor passed.
Li Xiao retracted his gaze from Liang Yu.
Then, he walked past Liang Yu and left.
Liang Yu maintained a half-bowed posture for a long time.
After that, he straightened up and looked at Li Xiao’s back for a long time.
Then, he smiled and walked towards Manager Liang.
“Let’s go back to Ruyi Restaurant first.” He said to Manager Liang with a smile.
Manager Liang saw Liang Yu’s happy expression and guessed that he had a good talk with Li Xiao, so he quickly led the way.
Meanwhile, after leaving the workshop, Li Xiao returned to the Liu residence.
As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was worried. When she saw Li Xiao return, she hurried forward.
Then, she led Li Xiao to the backyard.
“How was it? How did it go with Liang Yu?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao impatiently when they returned to the room.
Li Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and sat down by her bed.
Then, he grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand and pulled her into his arms.
“Just as you expected, Liang Yu wanted to rope me in to serve the First Prince.”
Lin Xiaoyue paused and instantly relaxed.
It was good that he was not their enemy.
“Liang Yu had actually been tracking Qing’er and my whereabouts. Those people in the capital haven’t given up either. They are still searching for us.” Li Xiao continued.
“Then what should we do? If Liang Yu found you, then others…” Lin Xiaoyue instantlv became nervous.
instantly became nervous.
“Don’t worry, Liang Yu said that he got rid of the traces. As long as I’m willing to join the First Prince, our family will be safe.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s heart calmed down a little, but it was only for a moment before anger welled up in her heart.
“What do you mean that as long as you are willing to join the First Prince, our family will be safe? Are they threatening us?
Li Xiao smiled and lowered his head to plant a kiss on Lin Xiaoyue’s head.
“It’s not a threat. He only analyzed the pros and cons with me and told me that joining the First Prince was the best choice for me.”
“Although Liang Yu is the First Prince’s trusted aide, he is not the First Prince himself. I requested to meet the First Prince and talk to him personally.”
When Lin Xiaoyue heard this, she felt a little better.
“That’s true. It’s more secure to talk to the main person.”
“Yes.” Li Xiao buried his head in Lin Xiaoyue’s neck.
“There’s something…”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she actually felt a hint of coquettishness from Li Xiao’s murmurs.
“Tell me.” Her cheeks were a little red. Lin Xiaoyue moved her shoulders, wanting to push Li Xiao’s head away.
Li Xiao stubbornly held his ground.
“I want to bring my sister here.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
“You mean, Consort Shu?”
Wasn’t Li Xiao’s sister Qing’er’s mother, Consort Shu?
That’s right, with the Nangong family in trouble, Consort Shu’s days in the palace would definitely not be good.
However, Consort Shu was the Emperor’s concubine after all. It was not so easy to escape from the palace.
“Yes.” Li Xiao replied.
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
“You want to ask the First Prince for help to fake Consort Shu’s death and then allow her to escape from the palace?”
