Even if I spare his wife's life and use her as a hostage to threaten Zhao Yonggang, it probably won't have any effect.
What's more, now that Zhao Yonggang has been rescued by Lin Yueguo, he has become a member of Lin Yueguo. From now on, he and I are just enemies.
This relationship will not change just because I spare his wife's life."
Xiao Xieyun's patient explanation made Ying Xixi understand.
That is indeed the case.
"Your Majesty is right, so will tomorrow's execution still proceed as normal?
Should the fact that Zhao Yonggang was kidnapped be kept secret?"
After asking this question, Ying Xixi suddenly remembered the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in political affairs.
She looked at Xiao Xieyun. The man didn't seem to think that the questions she asked were political interference, and continued to answer her.
"Proceed as normal. No need to keep it secret. Zhao Yonggang's treason is a fact. Now that he has been rescued by Lin Yueguo, it can be said that this matter is a done deal."
After Xiao Xieyun finished speaking, he looked at the little concubine's pale face and rubbed her head soothingly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and I'll protect you.
It’s getting late, you should rest first.”
Ying Xixi grabbed Xiao Xieyun's sleeve, her face looking up with worry, "Your Majesty, won't you rest?"
Xiao Xieyun softened his heart a little and pinched her cheek. "I'm going to the prison to check on the situation. I'll be back soon. You can rest first."
As he spoke, he put his long arms around Ying Xixi's waist, carried her to the bed, let her lie down, and covered her with a quilt, tucking in the corners.
"Go to sleep."
Ying Xixi closed her eyes obediently, waited for Xiao Xieyun to turn around, then opened her eyes and watched him put on his robe and leave.
It was quiet outside the window, and the moonlight was still bright, as if nothing had happened.
Ying Xixi called out to the system in her heart, "System, are you there?"
[Yes, host, do you want to ask why the people from Linyue Kingdom are not in the capital now after taking Zhao Yonggang away, or where they are hiding? ]
There was a hint of pride in the system's baby voice.
Ying Xixi was quite surprised. "Yes, you actually guessed what I was going to ask you this time. Do you know what Zhao Yonggang's situation is now?"
[I know, but it’s too late now.]
The people from Lin Yue State entered through a tunnel outside the capital, and they have now taken Zhao Yonggang out of the capital through the tunnel.
Ying Xixi: “….”
"Do you know where that tunnel is?"
[I know, it's in a rockery in a cold palace. That cold palace is empty, so it's not easy for people to discover the tunnel.]
"Okay, just remember the location. Do you know anything about Lin Yueguo?"
[Sorry, host, this system currently doesn't know anything about the Linyue Kingdom. The host must first have contact with the people of Linyue Kingdom. As the plot unfolds, this system will be able to obtain information about Linyue Kingdom.]
