Chapter 137: Smart as Hell (Finale)
When Xiao Mingzhe heard this, he instantly became unhappy and walked out of the tent with a wave of his sleeves.
"Your Highness!" Xuelang came up to him cheerfully. "Just now, news came from the city that the young emperor has abdicated! Now the Yang family has sent someone to deliver a letter, wishing to welcome Your Highness back to the capital to ascend the throne!"
"It's so fast. I haven't even attacked the city yet." Xiao Mingzhe rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there any trap?"
"I heard it was Concubine Yang. No, no, Yang Yunwan went to persuade Prime Minister Yang and Queen Mother Yang. She said that the young emperor cannot rule the world in peace, so it would be better for him to abdicate early and let Your Highness leave a way out for the young emperor and the Yang family." Snow Wolf said.
"Oh? I used to think that woman was stupid and dumb, but I didn't expect she was actually quite smart."

"That night, the army of King Beining entered the city without losing a single soldier," Fang Jue, who had just come in from outside, said hastily without taking a break. "Now, everyone in Yanbo City is celebrating. The new emperor has ascended the throne and has issued a general amnesty! Sister, should we go back to Shangjing?"
The weather in Jiangnan is humid and mild, and the nights are particularly quiet.
The Liaoyuan Marquis Mansion showed special courtesy to the Fang family. This courtyard had just been built and was originally reserved for Jiang Xu's wedding, but now it was given to the Fang family to live in.
"Any other news?" Fang Qianxue was playing tumbling rope with Fang Qingyuan and Fang Qingyao.
"What news?"
"How is the poison in him?" Fang Qianxue said, "It's about time for it to take effect."
"I heard that the poison was replaced by someone and ended up in Emperor Ming's stomach." Fang Jue smiled and touched the fat cat next to him.
"..." Fang Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, "The Yang family asked the young emperor to abdicate so quickly, are there any conditions attached?"
"I heard that at first the Yang family wanted the King of Beining to make a girl from the Yang family his queen, but they refused," Fang Jue said while observing her expression. "Sister, do you think the prince... His Majesty is waiting for you?"
"Is there any news about Xu Miaoyan?" Fang Qianxue flipped the rope absentmindedly.
"Meow! Meow!" The tabby cat next to him raised its paws desperately, as if to say "I know!"
Fang Qianxue smiled and patted its head: "I don't understand what you are saying now."
Maotuan put down his paw in disappointment, but then he thought it didn't matter, as long as he could still understand Xuexue's words.
"I heard that Xu was bitten by a rat in the prison and is now recuperating in the palace." Just as Fang Jue finished speaking, he heard joyful sounds coming from outside.
Today is the wedding day for Young Marquis Jiang and Princess Yian.
"Mom! I want to watch the fireworks!" Fang Qingyao dropped the rope in his hand.
"I want to go too! I want to go too!" Fang Qingyuan followed behind her and they both ran out happily.
"Where did the fireworks come from?" Fang Qianxue said helplessly, "When we get to the banquet later, you two should eat more delicious food and stop talking nonsense."
The two children had already run away.
"Fang Jue, let's go too." Fang Qianxue tidied her hair and let Fang Jue go out with the gift for Jiang Xu.
The banquet was noisy and chaotic.
Fang Qianxue hadn't found Fang Qingyao and Fang Qingyuan yet, and she couldn't help but feel upset, "Where could these two kids have gone?"
There are so many people talking today, I'm really worried that they will cause trouble.
"Don't worry," Jiang Xu said, "I have secret guards in this mansion. As long as you are in the mansion, nothing will happen."
He was dressed in wedding clothes today, and looked even more refreshed and handsome.
"Young Marquis, this is a little gift from my sister and I." Fang Jue handed over a brocade box.
"Hey," Jiang Xu looked at Fang Qianxue and blushed, "Why are you so formal?"
"We've disturbed you these days, and it's our duty." Fang Qianxue had just finished speaking when she heard a "boom" sound coming from outside the door, like thunder.
Then the guests ran out and stood on the veranda, looking up.
"This is the first time I've seen such beautiful fireworks!"
"The Liaoyuan Marquisate is really lavish, setting off so many fireworks!"
"Of course!"
It seemed as if large clusters of night-blooming cereus were blooming in the sky, and in the blink of an eye they turned into thousands of stars falling from the sky.
Fang Qianxue was distracted for a moment as she looked at the man walking out of the night.
"Mom! Look at the fireworks!" The two little kids rushed towards her.
"Why? Are you so happy to see me?" The man took her hand and they both looked up at the sky at the same time.
The warmth in my palms felt unreal.
"I thought..."
Xiao Mingzhe lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead: "You're just being clever."
