The next day, when Han Luoxue woke up, Han Yuchen had already left.
He left secretly, and with only a few people. Seeing that all the things she had packed yesterday were gone, Han Luoxue felt much relieved.
But the thought of him fighting in the war made Han Luoxue listless and unable to do anything.
The old lady, however, saw it clearly.
"Snow Girl, you have to get used to this kind of life."
"Perhaps he won't need to lead troops personally in the future, but sometimes he will still go."
Han Yuchen only has one woman by his side now, but what about later?
As the emperor, in order to balance the relationships within the court, it's impossible for there to be only one empress in the palace. The old lady felt that Han Luoxue might not be able to handle it in the end.
“I understand, Grandmother, but I’m still a little worried.”
"Sigh, something must have happened in Xishu. Xiyao Kingdom has been peaceful for a long time."
...
At this time, on the western border.
A familiar figure, accompanied by two guards, slowly approached.
The guards saw this and quickly drew their bows. The other side, however, made a gesture to stop them. Seeing that there were only three of them, they didn't fire an arrow.
They also reported to their superiors that one of the soldiers guarding the city had a sharp eye; he suddenly shouted loudly:
"It's the Crown Prince, the person who came is the Crown Prince."
"You've seen the Crown Prince? You came from that remote mountain village, what do you know?"
The squad leader glared at the soldier who had spoken and said disdainfully.
“I have met the Crown Prince, I really have. He visited our Wuling Town before, it’s true.”
These people were unaware of what was happening in Wuling Town.
He waved his hand, signaling everyone not to make a move and to wait for their general to arrive.
When General Xu arrived at the city wall and saw the three people below, his pupils contracted sharply.
He didn't recognize the soldiers, but he did recognize the Crown Prince.
But wasn't the Crown Prince missing? How did he suddenly appear in Xishu, and even come from outside?
That's the territory of the Western Yao Kingdom.
He remembered receiving news some time ago that the Crown Prince had gone missing and his whereabouts were unknown.
The distance from Jiangcheng to Xishu is quite far. Furthermore, the Crown Prince shouldn't have entered from that direction. This is extremely strange.
The three princes walked down to the foot of the city wall, and he looked up at them.
"Xu Liang, why aren't you opening the door yet? Can't you see His Highness is here?"
The guards around the crown prince, seeing that the city gates were still closed, angrily questioned him.
Xu Liang looked at the Crown Prince below. There were only three of them, so in principle it was fine, but he still needed to ask about the matters that needed to be investigated.
"Why did Your Highness come from the Western Yao Kingdom?"
"I was just going there to investigate. What? Xu Liang, is this something you need to interfere with?"
"This is the Emperor's will. You wouldn't refuse to let me in and send someone back to the capital to verify it, would you?"
The crown prince smiled sarcastically: "Then I'd like to know how long you intend to make me wait."
Xu Liang glanced at the Crown Prince standing before the city gate, then at the two men beside him. Just the three of them; they should be alright, right?
but……
"Your Highness, do you still remember me?"
Before Xu Liang could speak, the young soldier who had just spoken started shouting.
"you?"
The prince glanced at the soldier, frowned, and said, "I don't know."
Suddenly, someone burst out laughing; this slap in the face was incredibly satisfying.
However, the soldier was not angry and said with a fawning smile, "Wuling Town, Hutouya Village."
Which village are you from?
The prince snorted coldly. He hated that village and that woman named Han Luoxue.
Damn it, all his bad luck started when he met that woman named Han Luoxue.
Ever since he met Han Luoxue, his life has been anything but smooth. Damn it!
"Yes, I am Han Luoxue's second uncle."
Lu Xiaonan still wanted to curry favor, but when the Crown Prince heard that this person was related to Han Luoxue, his phoenix eyes narrowed:
"oh?"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll come and open the door for you right away."
"stop!"
He had only taken two steps when Xu Liang called out to him:
"Open the door? What right do you have to open the door?"
"I... General, this humble servant... the one below is our current Crown Prince..."
Lu Xiaonan just wanted to curry favor with someone powerful, knowing he had already offended Han Luoxue to the bitter end.
"Hmph, did I, the general, give the order?"
Xu Liang snorted coldly, and two soldiers stepped forward, pinning Lu Xiaonan down on either side:
"Drag him away."
"Xu Liang, how dare you!"
The Crown Prince will definitely see what's happening here.
This person tried to open the door for him, but Xu Liang simply detained him, which was a blatant slap in the face.
"Let him go!"
The crown prince thought Xu Liang would be afraid, but in reality, Xu Liang completely ignored him.
"I suspect he's a spy, lock him up."
"I'm not a spy, this is the Crown Prince, this is the Crown Prince..."
Lu Xiaonan was still in a daze. What had he done? He had only wanted to curry favor with the Crown Prince, so how did he end up being labeled a spy?
Lu Xiaonan knew that being a spy was no small matter, and he wanted to argue, but his mouth was gagged.
He didn't know what it was, but it made him feel so nauseous he wanted to vomit.
"Xu Liang, do you want to rebel?"
The crown prince's expression turned cold, but unfortunately, he had very few people around him now.
"Your Highness should think carefully about why you came from Xiyao Kingdom."
"As I said, I went there on orders..."
"Is that so? Your Highness, please wait a few days while I inquire."
The crown prince was so angry he died. He was a dignified crown prince, yet he couldn't even enter his own country.
"you……"
The Crown Prince was furious; he had never met such a stubborn person before. Those around Xu Liang also felt uneasy seeing the Crown Prince's anger.
"General, this is, after all, the Crown Prince..."
"Haven't you heard that the Western Yao Kingdom has gathered a lot of people and there are unusual movements in the army?"
The adjutant, Yan Zhiwen, frowned with worry. He knew about the matter, but it would be unreasonable not to let the Crown Prince in.
"Are you saying the people of Xiyao are fools?"
Yan Zhiwen couldn't say for sure yet. If the Crown Prince of Xiyao Kingdom came, they would definitely arrest him immediately.
How could we let him walk away so casually?
"General, what do you mean?"
Yan Zhiwen couldn't believe it. This was the Crown Prince, the current Crown Prince. How could he possibly be colluding with the people of Xiyao Kingdom?
"With the return of Prince Zhen, the Crown Prince is also under a lot of pressure."
Xu Liang sighed. He suddenly understood why the Western Yao Kingdom had taken action. Could it be because of the Crown Prince?
"I know why the Crown Prince went to Xiyao Kingdom."
A voice came from inside; it was Wu Linghua from the Wu family. He was currently in charge of the military rations here.
"Young Master Wu, do you know why?"
Xu Liang held the Wu family in high esteem. Although Wu Linghua wasn't a soldier, he was General Wu's grandson and Prince Zhen's cousin, so he couldn't afford to offend him.
"I just received a message from my cousin. The Crown Prince has been missing for too long and there has been no news of him. The Emperor has already made Prince Zhen the Crown Prince."
Hiss... Xu Liang gasped. What did this mean?
Has the Emperor completely given up on the original Crown Prince? Keep in mind, the Crown Prince hasn't been missing for very long.
