Chapter 852: Letter, very insidious

Time was running out, they had to go back to the capital early the next morning, and they didn’t know if there would be any other dangers at night. Although Xiao Tianyao wanted to tease Lin Chujiu, he held back.

Moreover, Lin Chujiu not only injured her neck but her arm was also injured. Fortunately, no bones were injured, and her actions would not be affected. Otherwise, Xiao Tianyao couldn’t guarantee whether he would rush into the palace to kill the Empress in a fit of rage.

“Remember to give yourself the medicine next time.” Xiao Tianyao said as he showed that he only put medicine, and didn’t have the intention to break the rules even by half.

Lin Chujiu was worried for a long time, but in exchange for such a result, she couldn’t tell what it was like in her heart. Anyway, she was quite uncomfortable. When Xiao Tianyao asked, she answered honestly.

After the medicine was ready, Xiao Tianyao asked someone to prepare hot water for Lin Chujiu to wash. But when he saw Lin Chujiu’s injured arm, he was a little worried: “Can you do it yourself?” He thought he still has to prepare a maid that can accompany her. Although he doesn’t mind serving Lin Chujiu himself, he knows that Lin Chujiu will not agree.

“Mmm.” Lin Chujiu shook her injured arm lightly, making sure that the wound would not be pulled open, and decisively drove Xiao Tianyao out.

Don’t think that she didn’t see the expectations in Xiao Tianyao’s eyes, not to mention that her hands were equally flexible. Even if she can’t wash with one hand, she wouldn’t ask Xiao Tianyao for help.

She was not just about taking it, she felt uncomfortable.

Lin Chujiu has always been independent. Although Xiao Tianyao’s temper seems to be a little too strong during this time, it was still not a problem to take care of her own life, even if she was injured at the moment.

After carefully taking off the dirty clothes, Lin Chujiu twisted a veil with her good hands and wiped herself briefly.

The weather was still cold, if she hadn’t just escaped the assassins and got covered in ashes, she didn’t want to freshen up at all.

Xiao Tianyao was outside the tent. When he heard the sound of water, he knew that Lin Chujiu could take care of her injuries. After standing for a while, he made sure that Lin Chujiu could do it alone and then walked away.

However, after taking two steps away, the guard came over: “Wangye, Young Master Liu Bai has something to report.”

“Mmm.” Liu Bai was defending against the reinforcements sent by the Emperor at this time, so coming to him at this time must have something to do with this matter.

Xiao Tianyao came to a remote camp with his guards, Liu Bai was already waiting there. When he saw Xiao Tianyao coming in, Liu Bai turned sideways and saluted: “Wangye.”

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Tianyao walked past Liu Bai and sat down on the main seat.

“Wangye, General Zhu of Anxi has sent a letter to you by name.” Liu Bai presented a letter with a complete wax seal.

Xiao Tianyao checked it once and made sure that the letter had not been opened, so he opened the seal, opened the letter, and his face drastically changed.

“Go and ask General Zhu to come and see me.” Xiao Tianyao pressed the letter with his backhand and said solemnly.

Liu Bai knew the seriousness of the matter at a glance, so he didn’t dare to be negligent, so he went to invite General Zhu himself and brought General Zhu over after a while.

General Zhu was dressed in casual clothes, and his whole body was wrapped in black. People who were not familiar with him will never recognize him.

“Wangye.” General Zhu was not the emperor’s confidant, he was only loyal to the country, and only to those who sit on the throne. He escorted Prince Jingqin because he was loyal to the East and the emperor.

“General Zhu is free of courtesy.” General Zhu was a rare talented person in the army who also loves his soldiers. Even though the two sides have different positions, Xiao Tianyao still respects him very much.

“When did you receive this letter, General Zhu?” Xiao Tianyao raised the letter in his hand.

General Zhu asked Liu Bai to present this letter to him, but this letter was addressed to General Zhu. General Zhu just changed the envelope and sent it to him.

“This morning.” General Zhu chose to hand over the letter to Xiao Tianyao, meaning, he chose to cooperate with Xiao Tianyao.

Of course, cooperation does not mean betrayal of the country. From General Zhu’s point of view, he chose to cooperate with Prince Xiao to be loyal to the East.

“The emperor has not woken up, and Imperial Doctor Qin can testify to this.” General Zhu was a cheerful person, so Xiao Tianyao naturally will not hide it.

“This general just found out about this, so he felt strange. I hesitated and decided to send the letter to you, my lord. I believe that you will be able to handle it well.” The Emperor’s penmanship, the emperor’s style of writing.

Being used to obeying, he almost followed the instructions in the letter, but seeing the young faces of his subordinates, he couldn’t bear it.

Prince Xiao was also a member of the royal family no matter what. During this period, they fought against Prince Xiao’s Jinwuwei Army several times, but the damage was minimal.

They were sure that the Jinwuwei Army in Prince Xiao’s hands were capable of repelling them, but Prince Xiao didn’t do that.

Since the battle between the two armies, Prince Xiao has never allowed his Jinwuwei Army to take the initiative to send troops, let alone launch a violent attack on them. The Jinwuwei Army only focus on defense, just to block them.

Prince Xiao was the prince of the Eastern Country, so he was concerned about the casualties of the soldiers and people during the battle and will restrain his strength, but will the West do?

The order in the letter was for him to take this letter and borrow troops from the Western general to suppress Prince Xiao, but the Western soldiers and horses were borrowed, would they go away in peace?

Moreover, once the Western soldiers and horses enter the country, it will be a fierce battle, and it will be their people and soldiers who will die.

Was this the Emperor’s order?

Will the Emperor send his people into misery?

General Zhu hesitated repeatedly and finally decided to bring this letter to Prince Xiao.

He didn’t believe that the Emperor would do this, nor did he believe that it was an order from the Emperor. Even though it was written in the Emperor’s handwriting and style, and covered with a jade seal that only successive Emperors could control, General Zhu still didn’t believe it.

Intuition told General Zhu that this matter was not simple.

Of course, if it was the emperor’s order, he would also choose to hand it over to Xiao Tianyao. For the people and soldiers of the country, an emperor who would wantonly sacrifice them was not worthy of allegiance.

General Zhu didn’t know if he was doing the right thing, but he knew he could only ask Prince Xiao for help. Because Prince Xiao was a member of the royal family, he would find out the truth of the matter and protect the face of the royal family.

“Don’t worry, General Zhu, benwang will solve this matter. Benwang reminds General Zhu that this matter ends here. You didn’t see this letter, nor have you seen me.” Xiao Tianyao said straightforwardly. He will not push General Zhu out, nor will he use this letter to discredit the Emperor.

Regardless of whether the letter was written by the Emperor or not, it can only be hidden now. The Eastern Country can have a fatuous emperor, but there cannot be an emperor who takes the people of the country as a joke.

Once this letter was exposed, the soldiers and common people of the country would certainly be disappointed with the Emperor, but they would also be disappointed with the royal family and the Xiao family.

He has to say that the people behind it have very sinister intentions. What the other party wanted was not to defeat the Emperor or him, but wanted to defeat the entire Xiao Imperial Family… …
