Chapter 374 Auntie Wants to Be Emperor, Just Tell Me

It was already very painful after the fall, but when I saw that everyone had left one after another.

Even the emperor of Xiliang led his people away without even giving them a glance, which made Tuoba Ruoli's face even uglier.

Although I already knew that I might face such a situation after losing.

But knowing is one thing.

Seeing it with your own eyes is another matter entirely.

Yelu Yang was also hit hard by the fall, but he was tough after all, and he quickly got up from the ground.

Not only did he get up by himself, he also quickly came to Tuoba Ruoli and carefully helped her up from the ground.

"Your Highness, I will send the imperial physician over right away."

Tuoba Ruoli smiled sadly, "I lost the competition, and even the emperor's attitude towards me has changed. No one else is optimistic about me anymore. No matter how nice you are to me, it's useless!"

Yelu Yang is not a man who is good at speaking.

Hearing Tuoba Ruoli say this, he pursed his lips in silence.

Just when Tuoba Ruoli thought she had hit upon his thoughts, he spoke in a deep voice, "I have never been kind to Your Highness because of your status."

The moment she heard this, Tuoba Ruoli's heart was deeply touched.

But it was only for a moment.

Soon, Tuoba Ruoli sneered in his heart.

It sounds better when spoken than when sung.

But if she didn't have such an identity, she would never have been able to come to Xiliang, let alone become the Crown Princess.

Yelu Yang didn’t even have the chance to see her, let alone anything else!

She is no longer the child she was back then, she won't believe such words!

Whether it was the Lin family, Chu Huaixu, or the emperor and empress of Dayong, didn’t these people all look at Yu Youning with admiration because of her extraordinary identity?

Back then, they were obviously very good to her.

But after they knew that she was not really the girl of destiny, they all changed!

People in the world tend to seek profit and avoid harm, so why should they flatter themselves?

What Yelu Yang said now was just acting!

Since he loves acting and wants to play a character like this, she can help him!

Thinking about these things in my mind is just a matter of a moment!

Tuoba Ruoli raised her head and looked at Yelu Yang, her face full of emotion.

"You...are indeed different from others."

Just this one sentence made Yelu Yang's breathing quicken a lot with excitement.

Did Your Highness finally see him?

He doesn't ask for anything else!

As long as Your Highness can see him, as long as Your Highness is willing to believe him, he will be the most loyal person by Your Highness' side at all times!

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Tuoba Ruoli's expression become lost again.

"Unfortunately, the Emperor and those ministers no longer believe in me and are unwilling to support me!"

"I am willing to support Your Highness!"

Yelu Yang immediately expressed his loyalty.

"No matter what, I will always support Your Highness. The Yelu family behind me will also always support Your Highness!"

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Tuoba Ruoli finally felt satisfied, and her smile became more sincere and brilliant.

"Thank you!"

Yelu Yang's face turned even redder. Such a big man looked very embarrassed at this moment.

"Your Highness! You never have to say thank you to me! No matter what time it is, I will always stand by your side!"

The two looked at each other, and Tuoba Ruoli's cheeks became redder and redder.

Even my breathing became heavier.

In the end, it was Yelu Yang who turned his head away first, not daring to continue looking at Tuoba Ruoli.

Seeing Yelu Yang like this, Tuoba Ruoli felt even more determined.

This Yelu Yang is really innocent!

From the current performance, it can be seen that he is deeply in love with me!

Such a person can be easily controlled by using some small tricks!

With the support of the Yelu family, her current situation will be more or less better!

It’s a pity that she found out too late!

If I had known earlier, and had taken Yelu Yang down earlier, maybe...

Tuoba Ruoli lowered her eyes and suppressed all her thoughts.

It’s too late to think about these things now!

Let’s not talk about the past, the most important thing is the future!

-

Yu Youning sat in the carriage, determined to return to Wucheng as quickly as possible.

Looking at Yu Youning's tense little face, Yu Tingwan knew that something must have happened.

And it’s not an ordinary thing!

"Youning, what happened? Can you tell mother about it?"

Yu Youning nodded, "Of course! Mother, do you know what happened to Master when he was young?"

Yu Tingwan was stunned by the question.

But after a moment, she shook her head and said, "I really don't know about this. I haven't heard of it."

Yu Youning sighed, "Today, Tuoba Ruoli told me that Master came to Xiliang after leaving Dayong more than four years ago, and has been imprisoned by Princess Anguo ever since. Tuoba Ruoli also said that when Master was young, he had a relationship with Princess Anguo, but Master eventually abandoned her. Now that he's old, he's come back to atone for his sins."

With every word Yu Youning said, Yu Tingwan's expression became more shocked.

Not only Yu Tingwan, but even Wen Shiyan, who was sitting silently on the side, was surprised.

How come he has never heard of such a thing?

Yu Youning didn't pay much attention to the expressions of the two people. She was completely immersed in her own thoughts.

"I don't believe what Tuoba Ruoli said. Master would never abandon someone so easily!"

Yu Tingwan, "......"

Why is Youning’s focus different from others?

At this time, shouldn’t we be suspicious about whether Chu Huaishan and Princess Anguo know each other?

But when he thought about Tuoba Ruoli's personality, Yu Tingwan felt relieved again.

No wonder Youning didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter at all.

Although Tuoba Ruoli is an annoying person, he would not tell lies that would be easily exposed.

Because there is really no need.

Since she said it, it is largely true.

No matter what happened between Chu Huaishan and Princess Anguo in the past, he must be by Princess Anguo's side now.

After figuring this out, Yu Tingwan gently patted Yu Youning's shoulder and said, "Youning, don't overthink it! It won't be long before we can return to Wucheng. Once we meet Princess Anguo and your master, everything will be clear!"

Yu Youning also knew that there was no better way now, so he could only nod vigorously.

The carriage was not moving slowly.

But because Yu Youning was anxious, he always felt that the carriage was moving extremely slowly.

Two hours later, we finally saw the gate of Wucheng.

When I came to Wucheng before, I could see from afar that the city gate of Wucheng was wide open.

Now, it is already past noon, which should be the time of the day when the city gate has the most people.

But the reality is just the opposite.

The city gates were closed and there was no civilian at the gate.

However, there were many more soldiers guarding the city gate than before.

Seeing this situation, Yu Youning frowned subconsciously.

Yu Tingwan was also a little puzzled. "What's going on? Why are the city gates closed for no reason?"

Wen Shiyan's expression had grown serious. "This might be... not good! Is Princess Anguo planning a coup?"

While the Emperor of Xiliang is not in Wucheng, she will take over Wucheng and become the empress herself!

This possibility is not impossible!

While they were talking, the Xiliang convoy also caught up.

Naturally, they also saw the closed city gate.

The Xiliang Emperor's face was as gloomy as water.

If eyes could kill, these soldiers on the city gate would have been killed by him many times!

"Go and ask what's going on!" The Emperor of Xiliang ordered the people around him.

The eunuch next to him agreed and immediately stepped forward, asking loudly, "The emperor wants to enter the city. Who told you to close the city gate? Hurry and open the city gate!"

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the soldiers on the city wall, his expression even a little proud.

But the expressions of those soldiers did not change at all, except that their eyes became even colder.

At this moment, an arrow shot down from above.

The arrow made a sound of breaking through the air and was flying at a very fast speed.

Although the eunuch was extremely horrified when he saw this scene and wanted to get away quickly, it was too late!

He just stood there stupidly.

He watched helplessly as the arrow flew through the air and pierced his chest.

He didn't even have time to say another word before he fell straight to the ground.

This scene came so suddenly that it startled everyone present.

The Xiliang Emperor, in particular, was extremely pale and kept shouting for armor.

But unexpectedly, no more arrows were shot down.

If there wasn't a corpse lying on the ground with its eyes open, everyone would have thought that what had just happened was just a dream!

It was at this time that Princess Anguo appeared on the city wall.

The clothes she wore were very different from what she usually wore.

It is somewhat similar to the clothes of the Emperor of Xiliang.

The Xiliang Emperor lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at Princess Anguo with a gloomy expression. "Aunt, what are you doing?"

Princess Anguo's face, already showing signs of age, was filled with a condescending expression, even a hint of pride. "Isn't this just asking for advice? I'm naturally trying to take back everything that belongs to me! This throne originally belonged to me. Your father and you have occupied it for so many years. What's wrong with giving it back to me now?"

The Xiliang Emperor's eyes grew increasingly gloomy, but the situation was unfavorable to him, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and spoke in a relatively gentle voice, "Aunt, if you want the throne, just tell me. Why resort to such methods? Why not open the city gates and have a good talk? Perhaps there will be a better solution!"

"You've been emperor for too long. You think you're the only smart person in the world. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
