“Liang Yu, you can try too.” He said.
Liang Yu was delighted.
“Thank you, Your Highness!” He quickly took it.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled when she saw this. She took out a new crossbow and guided Liang Yu to load it.
Prince Anyang also watched from the side and found that the steps of loading the crossbow were not complicated. He liked the crossbow even more.
Soon, new bolts were loaded.
Liang Yu followed Lin Xiaoyue’s instructions and, just like Prince Anyang, hit the bullseye several times.
This result made Liang Yu excited.
“Ms. Lin, can you give me this crossbow?” Soon, Liang Yu cupped her hands at Lin Xiaoyue.
This crossbow was light and portable, and had great lethality. It also had low requirements for the user, making it a good weapon for self-defense.
As the head of the Liang family, it was not safe for him to travel outside many times.
Just relying on bodyguards meant that their lives were in their hands.
However, he wasn’t made for martial arts. Only hidden weapons could give him an extra layer of protection.
This crossbow was the best hidden weapon.
As soon as these words were said, Prince Anyang was amused.
“I too, want one.” Then, he said to Lin Xiaoyue.
He also had Liang Yu’s worries.
Furthermore, this trip to the capital was extremely dangerous.
If he could carry such a crossbow with him, it might be of great use at a critical moment.
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
Then, she smiled and nodded.
“I’ll definitely give it to you before we set off tomorrow.”
“Haha…” Prince Anyang laughed heartily.
“Let’s go back to the study and chat!”
Everyone cupped their hands in agreement.
When she arrived at the study, Lin Xiaoyue realized that the table beside her had already been served with food and wine.
“Let’s chat while eating.” Prince Anyang smiled.
Everyone went to sit down at the table.
The following conversation was much more relaxed. The four of them ate and drank until dawn.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Prince Anyang set off for the capital, accompanied by the county head, Lin Xiaoyue.
Two hundred guards followed behind him.
In the capital.
Liu Wuji soon received the news that his granddaughter had followed Prince Anyang to the capital.
He was both happy and depressed when he saw the letter.
Naturally, he was happy because he did not have to spend the new year alone anymore.
He was worried that his granddaughter entering the capital at this time was not a good thing.
However, forget it. She was already here, and it was not like she would listen to him obediently just because he asked her to go back.
Thinking of this, Liu Wuji was completely relieved.
He happily prepared to welcome his granddaughter into the residence.
In the Imperial Consort’s chambers.
After hearing the news from Shuanghua Palace, the Imperial Consort smiled.
If it wasn’t for Zhang Shi calling the imperial physician in time, the Emperor would have almost not been able to endure it.
After all, her son was already on his way to the capital.
“Tell Zhang Shi to take good care of the Emperor. If the Emperor dies before His Highness enters the Eastern Palace, then she can forget about living.” The Imperial Consort elegantly drank her tea and rushed to the palace maid who came to report.
“Yes.” The palace maid hurriedly replied.
“You may leave.” Putting down the teacup, the Imperial Consort waved her hand.
“Yes.” Only then did the palace maid leave.
As soon as the palace maid left, the Imperial Consort’s personal servant official immediately came forward to massage her shoulders.
“Your Highness is lucky to have the Imperial Consort to worry about him. This time, he will definitely ascend to the throne.” She said in a fawning manner.
The Imperial Consort turned around and glanced at her.
She immediately shut her mouth in fear.
However, it was only for a moment before the corners of the Imperial Consort’s mouth curled up again.
“You have a sweet mouth.” She chuckled.
The personal servant quickly laughed along.
“It’s the Empress and His Highness who are blessed.”
“Hehe…”
Several days later, Prince Anyang and his entourage finally arrived in the capital.
Prince Anyang brought his soldiers to live in the former First Prince’s residence and waited to enter the palace the next day.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyue was brought into the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
Li Xiao originally wanted to follow, but he thought of the importance of Prince Anyang’s matters and stayed behind.
At the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
Liu Wuji had someone prepare a table full of delicacies for his granddaughter.
The grandfather and granddaughter talked about what happened after they separated.
Liu Wuji felt much more at ease when he learned that Liu Shi and Lin Xiaozhi were safe and sound.
Lin Xiaoyue knew what her grandfather had done during this period of time. She was just short of using the words “1 admire you to the core” to describe it.
“Grandpa, you mean that after Prince Anyang enters the palace to meet the Emperor tomorrow, he will be the Crown Prince?” Lin Xiaoyue asked excitedly.
Of course, they were excited. PrinceAnyang entering the Eastern Palace was the first step of their plan.
As long as he did this, everything else would be easy to handle.
Even if Emperor Yan died immediately, they were confident that they could handle the situation. It was just a little troublesome.
“Yes. It shouldn’t be a big problem.” Liu Wuji replied.
The Emperor’s health was deteriorating day by day. For the sake of the country, he would give up power.
When Lin Xiaoyue heard this, her face lit up again.
She raised her wine glass to Liu Wuji..
