Xiao Xieyun denied it with a strong desire to survive, while pulling the little concubine into his arms and hugging her.
Finally holding the sweet and soft person in his arms, Xiao Xieyun felt extremely satisfied.
Ying Xixi supported Xiao Xieyun's chest with her hands and reluctantly accepted his explanation.
"Okay, then when will we return to the capital?"
"Tomorrow, let's go back openly and proudly, letting everyone in the capital know that we left quietly to do something big!"
Xiao Xieyun was very efficient in taking action on things he decided.
"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow."
Because of Ying Xixi's words, Xiao Xieyun's original plans were all overturned. It was a bit troublesome, but he was willing to accept it.
The next day.
A piece of news was spreading in the streets and alleys of the capital.
"Hey, have you heard? We won a victory at the border!"
"I know, I know! Not only did we win the battle on the border, but Linyue Kingdom has now become a vassal state of our Fufeng Kingdom!"
"But you definitely don't know who led the soldiers to defeat Lin Yueguo!"
"Isn't it General Xiaoyong? Wasn't he the one who led the troops to the border to provide support before?
Apart from the brave general, who else has such great ability to lead troops to victory? ? "
"You don't know this, right? He's really not a brave general!
It’s someone you would never expect!”
The person who spoke was mysterious, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me who has such great ability!"
"Ahem, that person is His Majesty!"
Everyone: “???”
"If you had eaten a few more peanuts, you wouldn't be this drunk!"
"That's right, it's broad daylight, and you're talking nonsense.
Even if you say it was the deputy general who won the battle, I would still believe it!"
“That’s right!”
Now it was the person who was speaking who looked puzzled.
"No, why is it that no one believes the truth now?
It was indeed Your Majesty who led the troops to conquer the Linyue Kingdom.
Your Majesty's ability is obvious to all, otherwise how could you have ascended the throne?"
"Although, His Majesty attends morning court in the palace every day.
Could it be that there are two His Majesties? One guarding the palace, and the other off to the border to fight?"
A middle-aged man said this casually, and someone next to him actually said something.
"It's not impossible! Maybe the emperor in the palace is a substitute!"
"Yeah, I forgot about the stand-in. So it was really His Majesty who led the troops into battle?"
"certainly!"
......
Conversations like these took place in every street and alley in the capital.
When the news spread widely, some people started shouting that an army was entering the capital!
For a moment, the people rushed over and stood on both sides of the road to watch.
They all wanted to see whether the person who came back was a brave general or the emperor.
After the carriage entered the capital, Ying Xixi opened the curtains.
The people saw her face, and also saw Xiao Xieyun in the carriage through the curtains she opened.
Everyone was shocked.
"Did you see that? It's really His Majesty! It's His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine!"
"I saw it! The imperial concubine was dressed as a man, but I still recognized her at first sight!"
"So it was really His Majesty who personally led the battle to defeat the Linyue Kingdom? And the Imperial Concubine even disguised herself as a man to help?"
"What about General Xiaoyong? I remember it was General Xiaoyong who led the troops out of the capital at the beginning. So when did His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine leave the capital?"
"Stupid, of course I'll leave quietly. Since there are spies from Lin Yueguo in the court, there might be more spies in the palace and the capital.
Your Majesty is leaving quietly to avoid being discovered by spies!"
"I thought His Majesty was truly a tyrant, but now it seems the rumors were misleading!"
.......
The people talked a lot and watched the carriage drive into the palace.
In the carriage, Ying Xixi pricked up her ears and heard some discussions among the people, then poked Xiao Xieyun who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Ayun, did you hear that? Many people have changed their opinion of you.
It seems that your reputation as a tyrant will soon be removed."
Xiao Xieyun lazily opened his eyelids and reached out to pull the excited Ying Xixi into his arms.
"I'm no longer a tyrant in the eyes of the people. Are you so happy?"
"Of course I'm happy!"
Ying Xixi looked like she was asking some stupid question.
"This is your reputation. Aren't you happy that your reputation has improved?
Now that the Linyue Kingdom has been destroyed, the biggest threat is gone.
The revenge that needed to be taken has been taken, and I feel that the world is a better place and there is hope for the future.
Aren’t you happy?”
Xiao Xieyun smiled as he moved closer to Ying Xixi, "I'm happy. Of course, what makes me happiest is that after going through all this, you're still by my side."
Ying Xixi was helpless, "Ayun, don't tell me that even now, you are still worried that I will abandon you and run away."
"Well, I'm still worried."
Xiao Xieyun answered frankly, "I worry about it all the time."
Ying Xixi felt a sharp pain in her heart. She knew that Xiao Xieyun's situation was caused by worrying about gains and losses.
"Ayun, is it because the sense of security I give you is not enough that you are worried that I will not want you?"
To be honest, she felt that Xiao Xieyun's anxiety about gains and losses seemed a bit out of place in this ancient time.
Especially since Xiao Xieyun was the emperor, in this ancient time when imperial power was supreme, Xiao Xieyun could get whatever he wanted, and no one dared to disobey him.
