The Western Emperor remained calm. Being locked in the dungeon all day, he was certainly unable to do anything. If he could be released, within the Western Yao Kingdom...
He has a backup plan.
Besides, the treasure that their Western Yao Kingdom obtained wasn't something just anyone could get their hands on. It contained things accumulated over several generations, and the protection measures were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Even if he went there in person, he couldn't guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
Ouyang Zhen couldn't go in person; the person he trusted most was probably the Empress.
If the Empress could be kept there… The Western Emperor sneered. He wanted to see how long Ouyang Zhen could remember Han Luoxue.
Xi Wujue cried out anxiously, "Father, don't forget me! Don't forget me!"
Xi Wujue hadn't expected his father to want to take Han Luoxue with him. If he went back too, what about himself?
"You want to go too?"
The Western Emperor glanced at his son and said, "Wait a bit, you can go back later!"
"You're more trouble than you're worth. I'm afraid that if I bring you over, you'll ruin the whole plan!"
This was a plan he had been designing for a long time, and there couldn't be the slightest mistake.
"Yaoxiang, as long as you listen to me, you can rest assured that you will be the only Empress here from now on... As for those two little things, hehe, they are just tiny and can't do anything, so don't worry about them."
"They're still a long way from growing up. We'll find a chance to kill them later, without anyone noticing. Once you have children, your son will be the future crown prince of Xiyao Kingdom!"
Thinking of this, the Western Emperor's expression calmed down: "At that time, won't we be the ones calling the shots here?"
Princess Yaoxiang was stunned; she had never imagined that her father, the emperor, had such lofty ambitions.
But how could she be sure that Ouyang Zhen would listen to her? Just because of that Shadowless Grass?
Besides, even if she were to enter the palace, no matter how much the emperor favored her, he would never allow her to give birth to a prince, let alone make her son the crown prince.
It's not just Ouyang Zhen who makes the decisions here; her father, the emperor, really dares to think big!
But...should we go back?
Princess Yaoxiang nodded, but didn't say anything more.
"Father had no choice but to do it last time. Our current situation is difficult. Although Ouyang Zhen is not very capable, he is quite good-looking. Marrying him wouldn't be a bad thing for you!"
The Western Emperor comforted his daughter, Princess Yaoxiang, who gave a bitter smile: "I understand, Father!"
Han Luoxue was still somewhat shocked when she heard about the Western Emperor's plan.
She glanced at the medicinal herbs in the space, wondering how Dr. Xu's research was going.
If we could refine a pill, we could give it directly to the Western Emperor and let him enjoy it.
When the princess came over and spoke to Han Luoxue, Han Luoxue already understood.
Although I was a little surprised, this result...
"Tell him that it's okay to take him back with you, but tell him to be careful on the way and not to try anything funny."
Having already discussed it with the Emperor, Han Luoxue didn't hesitate and directly agreed to the Western Emperor's request.
The Western Emperor was overjoyed to know he could finally return. So what if Han Luoxue was watching? She was just a woman!
Xi Wujue waited anxiously, but this time he couldn't go back with him.
He wanted to see Han Luoxue, but unfortunately Han Luoxue was too lazy to see him.
Xi Wujue felt a chill on his neck. If his father returned and regained power, then his position as crown prince would be in jeopardy...
Forget about becoming the crown prince, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep his life.
He was truly innocent in the last incident, but his father, the emperor, did not believe him.
Every time I bring it up, I slap him twice, and sometimes I kick him twice.
They say he's good for nothing but causing trouble, but the Emperor had no idea what was going on at the time.
If it were anyone else, they might not be a match for Han Luoxue.
"I heard you've been making a fuss about wanting to build a palace for me?"
It took Xi Wujue a great deal of effort to finally see Han Luoxue.
Unlike the Western Emperor, in his father's heart, Han Luoxue was just a dispensable accessory. If he wanted her, he would have to talk to Ouyang Zhen.
However, Xi Wujue, who had a lot of contact with Ouyang Zhen, did know Han Luoxue's position in Ouyang Zhen's heart.
He understood that only by persuading Han Luoxue could he have a future.
"Your Majesty, we've met many times before, so I'll get straight to the point. My father wants to go back, and he definitely has ulterior motives. I suspect that he wants to control you and use you to threaten the Emperor!"
Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow, looking at him thoughtfully, momentarily confused as to what she meant by those words.
Have they already switched sides so quickly?
But this was, after all, the crown prince whom the Western Emperor had raised from childhood.
However, thinking about Ouyang Fu on their side, Han Luoxue understood a little.
It's not enough to just keep the crown prince in the palace for training; he often needs to be taken out to get some experience.
It's like...
Ouyang Zhen, having grown up on the frontier since childhood and experienced many hardships, possessed a firm mind and strong will.
Temporary setbacks cannot defeat him at all, unlike those pampered princes who would think of betraying the country at the slightest dissatisfaction.
Once her family is strong and well-off, she should also go to the army for training, starting directly from the ranks of a private.
Zhuangzhuang, still in his swaddling clothes, shivered. He felt like he had been set up, but he had no proof.
Mengmeng was still biting her little hand; all she knew how to do all day was act cute.
She was more favored by the Empress Dowager than her brother. There was no way around it; she was just too cute.
"So?" Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow, looking at Xi Wujue thoughtfully.
"If Your Majesty is willing to give me a chance, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Your Majesty!"
“After my father returns, he will definitely deal with the remaining forces. He may not be able to do anything to you now, but what about in a few years?”
"If you let me go back, things will be different. I will definitely be obedient and loyal to you for the rest of my life!"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue smiled and said, "Xi Wujue, you're speaking too soon. You know what the Emperor and I care about most right now. Before we get the treasure, nothing else matters!"
Xi Wujue's expression changed. Although he was the crown prince, and always had been, and his father had always treated him well, he had never been told about the treasure.
He had asked that question when he was a child, but Xihuang had replied impatiently, "You'll know when it's your turn!"
"This is a secret that only the Emperor can know!"
He also inquired with the emperor's eunuchs, but unfortunately, the emperor was keeping it extremely secret at the time, and even the emperor's personal eunuchs did not know where the treasure was or how to open it.
After inquiring for a long time, Xi Wujue even thought that the treasure was just a legend. After all, no one had ever seen it, had they?
