Xiao Yilei's words were sincere, and while they were clearly meant to flatter the emperor, they were completely inaudible. This was also the reason why, despite not having been in Xiliang long, he was so well-liked by the emperor.

Yelu Honglie sighed and said regretfully, "It's a pity that my lifelong reputation has been ruined. I don't even want to go out and play today. I'm so sleepy! It was ruined by a woman. If I hadn't been seduced by her beauty, Xiliang would not have been in such a state."

"In reality, she has only bribed some of Xiliang's officials and gained control of a portion of the army. But overall, Xiliang's foundation has not been shaken by her. I believe Xiliang will definitely return to the control of the Yelu family."

Xiao Yilei's words failed to dispel Yelu Honglie's regret. He sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would have regretted it earlier."

"This matter cannot be blamed on the Emperor. We can only say that the people of the Divine Religion are truly despicable. Under the banner of benefiting the people, they secretly do such vile and evil things to the emperors of various countries.

"But rest assured, Your Majesty. My wife has created many miraculous elixirs that have even alleviated the Emperor's illness. The Emperor will no longer be threatened by Mo Yunfang. Now that the Emperor has made his decision, as long as he cuts the Gordian knot and reclaims military power, all other problems will be easily resolved."

Yelu Honglie nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you so much, Crown Princess Nanyue. If she can truly stop me from getting sick, I will definitely fulfill my promise and ensure her and Crown Prince Qianye's safe escape from Xiliang."

"My master and his wife have another matter to attend to in the palace and need His Majesty's approval."

"you say."

"Now that the Crown Prince has passed away, Mo Yunfang no longer has the leverage to take over Xiliang. Furthermore, the relationship between her and His Majesty has reached a point of tension. I'm afraid she might do something desperate if pushed into a corner."

"Yes, the troops outside the capital have begun to move, and her shadow guards have been transferred in large numbers. No one knows where they went. But what does this have to do with your master and mistress?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think our enemies are the same?"

A hint of understanding flashed across Yelu Honglie's cloudy eyes.

"I've also heard about the feud between the Empress and the Crown Princess of Nanyue. Princess Ya has been threatening to kill her to vent her anger." Speaking of Yelu Ya, Yelu Honglie sighed, "She's such a good girl, yet she's been spoiled to the point of being lawless and annoying."

"As long as Princess Ya doesn't provoke my wife again, my wife will definitely not do anything extreme to her. However, Mo Yunfang and my wife have a great grudge. This time she is passing through Xijing, and I hope the emperor can give her some favors.

Your Majesty, if Mo Yunfang suddenly died at the hands of my wife, it would have nothing to do with you. Even the Divine Cult can't blame Your Majesty, right?

Once Mo Yunfang dies, won't the armies she was in charge of naturally return to the Emperor's hands? "

Yelu Honglie smiled and shook his head at Xiao Yile's request.

"You think too little of her. If I could kill her, do you think I would have kept her alive until now? To be honest, twenty years ago, Mo Yunfang's martial arts were already very strong. Later, because of her good relationship with those people in the Divine Cult, I don't know what kind of magic they taught her, but now her martial arts skills are even more ridiculous.

Moreover, she has trained countless shadow guards, the number of which I have never even grasped. Your wife wants to kill her on Xiliang's territory.

Suddenly, I got a text message from the backend saying that today's article is free for a limited time. Many people who pay to read it can now read it for free, so I'm adding more chapters immediately! I drove to Jianmen Pass at 7:30 last night, and it was past 9 when I started writing. Fortunately, I still had a few chapters saved, but I still wrote until after 3 a.m.
