Liang Ruitian was wearing armor and had a sword on his waist, standing in front of everyone.
He glanced around and said in a booming voice, "The Duke of Zhenguo has joined forces with the Xingtai Army to plot a rebellion. I'm sure you all know this."
"You and I both eat the emperor's salary, so naturally we should be loyal to him."
"I, Liang Ruitian, intend to enter the palace to support the king today. Those of you who are willing to go with me, please drink this bowl of wine."
"If anyone doesn't want to go with me, I won't force them. They can go to the eldest young master and get five taels of silver, and take their families away from the capital to seek refuge."
After he finished speaking, Liang Ruitian's indifferent gaze wandered over everyone's face.
They all had firm expressions, staring at Liang Ruitian without blinking, but remained silent.
After a moment, Liang Ruitian said in a deep voice: "Since no one is leaving, then you are willing to stay here?"
Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.
Finally, Liang Shuda was the first to raise his arm and shout, "We are willing."
In an instant, the courtyard erupted in cheers and shouts. Everyone raised their swords above their heads and shouted, "We are willing!"
Liang Ruitian picked up the wine bowl from the tray of the person next to him, drank it all in one gulp, and then threw it on the ground.
The wine bowl immediately broke into pieces.
The others followed suit, picking up their wine bowls, drinking them all, and then smashing the bowls.
Then, Liang Ruitian shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
The people in the yard walked out in an orderly manner.
Liang Shuda and Liang Xinmin came to Liang Ruitian's side, and seeing that most of the people had left, they whispered, "Dad, are you really not going to write a letter to tell Mom?"
Liang Xinmin was younger and more nervous than Liang Shuda, his voice trembling a little: "When Mother left the capital, she hadn't reconciled with Father yet. If something happens to us this time, then Mother will..."
"shut up!"
Before Liang Xinmin finished speaking, Liang Shuda turned his head and glanced at him unhappily: "Dad is just raising an army to support the king, what could go wrong?"
Liang Xinmin lowered his head in frustration, fiddling with his hands in front of him. "I'm just worried that Dad and Mom haven't reconciled yet, and what regrets they might have left behind."
Liang Ruitian frowned, raised his head and glanced into the distance, then whispered, "Forget it, let's not tell your mother. We can tell you after we win."
The capital city was sleepless that night.
Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu, who were far away in the imperial mausoleum warehouse outside Beijing, seemed to have telepathy.
After nightfall, the two who usually went to bed early could not sleep tonight.
Shen Yuexi sat on the edge of the couch, her right hand resting on her chin, staring intently out the window.
Liang Yuyu also blinked her big eyes and looked at Shen Yuexi without blinking in her arms.
【Why is it so strange today? 】
【I always feel like there’s something blocking my heart.】
[Why does my mother look so worried? Is she also feeling depressed?]
Shen Yuexi heard the little girl's thoughts, lowered her head, and gently stroked her cheek twice with her palm. She sighed and said slowly and meaningfully, "How come you have so many worries at such a young age? Can't you sleep?"
[My mother is still blaming me, but isn't she also refusing to sleep?]
[Is mother thinking about the emperor giving father three beauties? ]
Shen Yuexi's eyebrows were slightly tightened.
This little guy is quite accurate.
She was indeed thinking about the three beauties in her heart, but more than that, she always felt an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.
It felt more like worrying that something might happen in the capital.
Seeing Shen Yuexi's frown, Liang Yuyu stretched out her little paws, placed her hands on her eyebrows, and gently touched them twice.
"Madam, something bad has happened!"
Liu Qiu rushed in from outside the door in a panic.
She leaned one hand against the door frame, panting, and looked at Shen Yuexi: "Beijing...Beijing..."
Seeing Liu Qiu's panic, Shen Yuexi's nervousness reached its peak.
She took a few steps forward and grabbed Liu Qiu's shoulders: "What happened in the capital?"
Liu Qiu's throat rolled, and his voice trembled a little: "There is a war in the capital."
"What?"
Shen Yuexi's hand on Liu Qiu's shoulder slipped away instantly, her throat rolled and her eyes were full of panic.
The uneasiness in my heart finally has a source!
【Is there a war in the capital?】
【Why would there be a war in the capital? 】
[The novel doesn't mention a war in the capital.]
Shen Yuexi paused, hesitated for a moment, pushed Liu Qiu aside, and started to walk out.
"Madam," Liu Qiu staggered and took a few steps back. He raised his hand to block Shen Yuexi's way and looked at her nervously, "Where... where are you going?"
"Go back to Beijing."
Shen Yuexi moved sideways around Liu Qiu.
"lady."
Liu Qiu rushed forward again, and this time, she slid down to her knees in front of Shen Yuexi.
Liu Qiu put his hands at his sides and kowtowed heavily to the ground.
Dong--
The crisp sound made Liang Yuyu feel pain.
Liu Qiu raised his head, tears welling in his eyes, and looked at Shen Yuexi steadily: "Madam can't go back."
"Liu Qiu, Liang Ruitian, and the two young masters are all in the capital. They could be caught up in the war at any time. You want me not to go back now?"
"Madam." Liu Qiu still stood in front of Shen Yuexi, his voice trembling even more. "Madam, have you ever thought about why the war broke out in the capital as soon as you left?"
Shen Yuexi was stunned.
She frowned and looked Liu Qiu up and down.
Before Liu Qiu could speak, Liang Yuyu's thoughts had already reached Shen Yuexi's ears.
[It seemed like Mother's departure from the capital was at the Queen's behest, but now it seems Father was most likely behind the scenes.]
[Dad just hopes that Mom can avoid this war.]
"But how did Daddy know about this war? Even I only found out today."
【Daddy, where did you get this news from?】
Just as she was thinking, Shen Yuexi suddenly pushed Liu Qiu away, her voice suddenly rising a few degrees: "Even if he wanted me to avoid him specifically, so what? If I can't see them safe and sound, what's the point of me staying here?"
After saying that, Shen Yuexi started to rush out.
It seemed that Liu Qiu was about to be unable to stop him.
"Wow~"
The baby's burst of crying immediately interrupted Shen Yuexi's steps.
Shen Yuexi turned around and looked behind her.
Liang Yuyu's little feet in the cradle kept kicking, her pink lips were wide open, her eyes were full of tears, and she was crying breathlessly.
Shen Yuexi's heart suddenly twitched.
She walked quickly forward, held Liang Yuyu in her arms, gently tapped her back with one hand, and coaxed her in a low voice: "Don't cry, dear."
Normally, Liang Yuyu would stop crying after Shen Yuexi coaxed her.
But this time she cried particularly hard at the top of her lungs.
【Mother, I can’t go.】
"Daddy has tried every possible way to stop you because he wants you to be safe and sound, and not be implicated in anything. If you go, won't Daddy's efforts be in vain?"
【Mother can’t go, she absolutely cannot go.】
[Woo woo woo~]
Liang Yuyu grabbed Shen Yuexi's neck with her little claws and refused to let her go no matter what.
