On the bustling street, a fast horse appeared, and the rider on its back, dressed in military uniform, galloped towards the imperial city.
The palace guards outside the gate watched the man on horseback warily, their swords crossed, and shouted.
"Who comes here?"
"An urgent document delivered by imperial decree, guards, let me in."
"What?! Your Majesty! Please come in quickly, General Fu is waiting inside!"
The guard stepped aside to let the government troops in, because he knew there must be good news to warrant such a rush.
"General Fu, His Majesty has sent an urgent memorial, delivered over eight hundred li!"
Fu Lingtian was startled and turned around. "What? He has news? What did he say?"
After General Liu relayed Lin Xiao's exact words to Fu Lingtian, he instructed him to handle the matter immediately.
"I never imagined His Majesty possessed such charisma! One moment we were like enemies, and the next we're allies. Excellent, excellent!"
Even General Liu, who was standing nearby, found the strong sour smell strange and looked towards Fu Lingtian.
"General Fu, General Fu?"
Fu Lingtian, who only came to his senses after being called several times, realized that he had lost his composure and coughed a few times to cover it up.
"Yes, Your Majesty's move is excellent. Go and tell Your Majesty that I am aware of the situation and that Your Majesty need not worry. Everything is fine in the palace!"
Within days, news of the newly enthroned emperor returning to the palace with a victory spread throughout the entire Yanyu Kingdom. The people were also excited and expressed surprise at Lin Xiao's transformation.
Because they felt that the young emperor's previous behavior was that of a tyrant, and now he was going to quell the war for their sake.
They wondered if they had wronged their new emperor, Yanyu Kingdom.
"His Majesty has returned to the palace! Why aren't you coming out to greet him at once!"
The number of people was not large, but it was enough to make a grand impression because the focus was not on Lin Xiao, but rather on the Crown Prince of Zhaoyue Kingdom in front of him.
The people passing by in the city were a little puzzled, wondering why the crown prince had come here and shouldn't he be watching Zhao Yue?
Feng Yeyue turned his head to look at the people who seemed to regard him as a monster, but he remained calm and composed. On the contrary, he was pleased, because Lin Xiao was unaware of his strategy.
Only by winning him over would his dream of dominating the world come true, and he was certain that Lin Xiao was a treasure. Those who called him a tyrant were truly fools!
"Someone, bring a seat for Prince Feng."
Fu Lingtian, who had prepared the food and seating in advance, was already waiting inside the door when that figure in light warm colors appeared.
A figure appeared in his pupils; he remembered the figure's appearance, so he concluded it was Emperor Lin Xiao. He then went to greet him.
"Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
Lin Xiao placed the heavy objects on the table, and disregarding his status as the emperor, plopped down on the dragon throne. He took a large gulp of tea, deciding to moisten his throat first.
"My dear subjects, rise! Now that we have won the battle, why be so tense? We should be happy. Sit down, sit down. Gao Chen, go and prepare more food; this is hardly enough!"
"The Crown Prince wants to eat too, doesn't he? Tell me what the Crown Prince likes to eat!"
Feng Yeyue was a young master who always preferred literature. He didn't like martial arts at all unless his father forced him to learn them.
Dressed in fine silk, in his favorite white, he didn't look like someone leading troops into battle at all, but rather like someone who came to express his poetic sentiments.
