After giving her instructions, the woman went outside to wait.
Su Liluo and the others entered the courtyard, first peeking through the window to confirm that Emperor Wenjian was indeed inside, and then quickly went out.
"It's done so quickly?"
The woman was surprised by how fast Su Liluo and his group were moving.
Su Liluo nodded: "We said we'd only take a look, just a look."
Upon hearing this, the woman was relieved that Su Liluo and the others were honest, but she did not expect that after she saw Su Liluo and the others off, the entire Tianxue Pavilion would suddenly fall into chaos.
"An assassin! An assassin!"
People started shouting, and chaos erupted inside Tianxue Pavilion.
Su Liluo and Xiao Ye exchanged a glance, and then took advantage of the chaos to quietly go to the courtyard where Emperor Wenjian had just been.
They had been secretly memorizing the route, and then instructed their men to create chaos in Tianxue Pavilion.
Emperor Wenjian was painting with Xiangxiang inside the house when the noise outside gradually started to affect them.
People started running around outside their yard.
Just as Emperor Wenjian heard the noise and felt something was wrong, he was about to open the door and go out to see what was happening.
Suddenly, Su Liluo and Xiao Ye ran towards their courtyard.
"Run! There are assassins at Tianxue Pavilion! Everyone get out of here!"
She pretended not to know that the person inside the room was Emperor Wenjian, and rushed towards him with Xiao Ye, making it seem as if she wanted to save him.
Emperor Wenjian and Xiao Ye locked eyes, the atmosphere awkward.
"You...how did you get here?"
"Father...Father, there's danger here! I'll escort you away first!"
Xiao Ye also looked surprised, and the original "Father Emperor" was temporarily changed to "Father".
Emperor Wenjian glanced outside, finally nodded in agreement, and followed Xiao Ye and the others out of Tianxue Pavilion.
Xiao Ye led Emperor Wenjian to a courtyard, while Miss Xiangxiang was called aside.
"How did you get there? And your leg...?"
Emperor Wenjian sat in his chair with a serious and puzzled expression, and asked Xiao Ye.
"Father, I encountered a legendary healer in the martial arts world who miraculously cured my leg. I went to Tianxue Pavilion to drink because I was feeling down, but I never expected to run into you, Father."
Xiao Ye explained earnestly.
Su Liluo stood quietly to the side, not saying a word. She didn't know if Emperor Wenjian had recognized her.
Emperor Wenjian ignored Su Liluo beside him and continued to ask, "Did you really just happen to meet me by chance?"
Wasn't I deliberately following him?
He hates it most when people spy on his whereabouts.
It should be noted that apart from his personal eunuch and guards, no one else knew about his trip to Tianxue Pavilion.
He didn't want this matter to get out.
Xiao Ye naturally understood this principle, so he put on a disappointed look.
"Father, I went to Tianxue Pavilion to drown my sorrows because I was feeling down. I know you don't trust me. I was just sad because something bad was about to happen in the Northern Desert."
"What did you say? Something's going to happen in the Northern Desert?"
Emperor Wenjian immediately grasped the key point in the words.
Xiao Ye's eyes trembled slightly, and his voice choked with emotion: "Your subject recently learned by accident that there is unusual activity in the north. It is said that the people of Beimo are planning to launch a sneak attack on our Great Liang's northern town, and then take the opportunity to go north and seize Shuocheng."
"Is what you're saying true or false? And where did you get this information from?"
Since this concerned matters of state, Emperor Wenjian had no choice but to become anxious.
Xiao Ye: "This matter was told to me by my former subordinate. He said he discovered some unusual activity in the Northern Desert, but the general guarding the northern city does not believe it."
Your Majesty, I submitted many memorials to you, requesting permission to go north to deal with the Northern Desert, but you refused them all.
"You're going north?"
Emperor Wenjian squinted at Xiao Ye.
At this point, he only believed half of what he was told.
But when he heard Xiao Ye volunteer, he began to doubt his motives.
Xiao Ye knew that Emperor Wenjian suspected him, so he took the initiative to speak up: "Father, I do not request to lead troops this time, but I request that you allow me to leave the capital and go to the north. If the Northern Desert really launches a surprise attack on us, I will try my best to stop it with the help of the border generals."
"Oh? You mean you're going alone?"
Emperor Wenjian immediately lowered his guard and looked at Xiao Ye with newfound respect.
Originally, he was worried that Xiao Ye wanted to take this opportunity to ask him to return the military power, but he did not expect that Xiao Ye did not intend to rely on these things, but planned to go alone.
"Yes, Father. If I go secretly without asking for permission from you, even if I win, it will still be a violation of your imperial decree."
Xiao Ye said earnestly.
Emperor Wenjian was pleased. "Alright, then I grant your request. I will also give you a team of secret guards for protection!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Xiao Ye kowtowed to express his gratitude.
At the same time, Yu Guang glanced gratefully at Su Liluo beside him.
Su Liluo was also excited. As long as Xiao Ye could resolve the trouble in Beimo this time, he could help Xiao Ye restore his status in Emperor Wenjian's heart and wash away the shame of his previous defeat.
Emperor Wenjian looked at Xiao Ye, but in his heart he also had the intention of testing him.
If Xiao Ye can bring him a surprise this time, then he will start to value this son again.
If not, then it will be done secretly. He did not give him any troops, so it will not cause any losses to the Great Liang.
*
Two days later, after Su Liluo and Xiao Ye had settled everything in the manor, they planned to disguise themselves and set off.
They spread the word that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had contracted an infectious disease, so some of Consort Liu's spies in the mansion dared not get close to them anymore, for fear of being infected.
