Liu Shi suddenly paused, and then her tone was tinged with tears.
“But…I still want to know where you are going and what you will do. This way, this way, I’ll be a little more at ease, so as not to let my imagination run wild.” Lin Xiaoyue’s heart trembled.
Only then did she understand her mother’s heartache.
The unimown was the most terrifying.
In the past, when she went out with Li Xiao, she thought that she had concealed her purpose very well.
But in fact, their mother had already noticed it.
They thought that after they left, their mother would still be able to live a peaceful and comfortable life in Daishi Village.
Little did he know that after they left, his mother had been worried about them. He even imagined countless scenarios where they would encounter danger.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue quickly held Liu Shi’s hand tightly.
“Mother, 1 will tell you everything.”
Then, Lin Xiaoyue told Liu shi about the situation in the capital and what she and Li Xiao were going to do next.
When Liu Shi heard this, her entire body trembled.
What? Her father wanted to help Prince Anyang seize the throne?
Her daughter and son-in-law wanted to secretly head to the border and lead the Nangong Army to defend against the invading army of the enemy country? Their family wanted to establish a new emperor…
“Mother, don’t be afraid. Your Highness has already received the imperial edict and will be leaving for the capital in two days.”
“When the time comes, grandpa and Prince Anyang will be in the capital. Li
Xiao and 1 are at the border. If we support each other, we will definitely be able to control the situation.” Lin Xiaoyue said as her eyes lit up.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Liu Shi’s hand again.
“Once everything is settled, the Nangong family will be cleared of their grievances, and grandpa will retire. At that time, our family will never have to be separated again. You don’t need to worry about us anymore.”
Liu Shi looked up at Lin Xiaoyue. Seeing her daughter’s determined face, she finally restrained her trembling and nodded at her daughter.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up as she hugged Liu Shi.
“Don’t worry. We will return as soon as possible.”
“Alright, 1’11 do it. Take care of yourselves.”
The next day.
Lin Xiaoyue had her meal early and headed to Qingshi Town.
In the Liu residence, Li Xiao had already returned.
Furthermore, Xiao Yang and the other generals of the Nangong Army were all present.
The backyard of the Liu residence was filled with a somber atmosphere.
“His Highness has ordered us to leave tonight! Go back and prepare the necessary matters. Gather at the dock at noon.” Li Xiao said in a deep voice. “Yes, sir!” The generals immediately responded.
Only then did Li Xiao leave, leaving the rest to Xiao Yang to explain to the others.
In the small courtyard.
The murderous aura on Li Xiao’s body only faded after he brought Lin Xiaoyue into the small courtyard.
Lin Xiaoyue took the opportunity to take two steps forward and held Li Xiao’s big hand with her small hand.
“What else do you have to say to His Highness?” He asked.
Li Xiao turned around and saw a smile on his wife’s face. His tensed heart relaxed a little.
“Let’s talk inside.” After saying that, he pulled Lin Xiaoyue into the study.
When they reached the study, Li Xiao closed the door and brought Lin Xiaoyue to sit down on a chair.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao, waiting for him to speak.
“Your Highness will depart tomorrow.” Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a serious expression.
“He asked me to follow.” He added.
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed.
“He asked you to follow? Then what are the arrangements for the Nangong Army?” She immediately asked.
“200 Nangong soldiers will follow me to escort His Highness into the capital.
The rest will be led by Xiao Yang to the border.” Li Xiao said again.
A hint of panic flashed across Lin Xiaoyue’s face.
“Your Highness doesn’t trust us.” He said.
“No. It’s because of trust that His Highness allowed me to follow him. To make sure he’s fine in the capital.” Li Xiao retorted.
“We’ll choose the best of the soldiers. They’ll be enough to fight against the 5,000 imperial guards.”
“His Highness meant that he must take the throne this time.” If Emperor Yan refused to abdicate, then they would start a mutiny to seize the throne.
With the Imperial Advisor in the palace to coordinate, in addition to some of the arrangements made by Prince Anyan, 200 Nangong soldiers were enough to settle the situation.
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
“I’ll go with you.”
Even if the Nangong Army was truly tenacious, 200 people was still too little.
If things really reached that stage, everyone would be in extreme danger.
She had a weapon in her hand. At least she could be more assured if she followed.
Li Xiao stretched out his hands and placed them on Lin Xiaoyue’s shoulders. “Go to the border with Xiao Yang. Prepare to coordinate with us at any time.” “I’ll only be at ease with you guarding the border,” Li Xiao said when he saw that Lin Xiaoyue was about to speak.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face stiffened.
Then, she waved away Li Xiao’s hand on her shoulder.
“It’s enough to have Xiao Yang at the border. Previously, without you and me, didn’t he and Mr. Xu also lead the Nangong Army to station at the border?” Seeing that Li Xiao was about to speak, Lin Xiaoyue interrupted him.
“It’s extremely dangerous to enter the capital this time. You and grandpa are both here. If I don’t go, I’ll be worried..”
