Xiao Tianyao was not a kind person. Although he doesn’t want to give up Lin Chujiu, but he will not delay the business because of Lin Chujiu. When Lin Chujiu was far away, Xiao Tianyao and Liu Bai returned to the tent for discussion.
“What’s the matter? Speak!” As soon as Xiao Tianyao arrived at the camp, his face was serious, and there was no trace of tenderness or nostalgia in his eyes.
This was Xiao Tianyao, no matter how much he likes a woman, he won’t miss his work because of a woman. And this was also what Liubai was worried about for Lin Chujiu. He was afraid that Lin Chujiu would lose Xiao Tianyao’s heart because she would act spoiled.
As everyone knew, Lin Chujiu was a weak woman without the support of her mother, father, and brother. No matter how outstanding she was, she can only be slaughtered.
In this world, it was not possible for a person to go far alone, let alone a woman. Even a man without family support, no matter how outstanding he was, would be difficult to get ahead.
“Wangye, the eldest prince of the Central Empire has sent news that the Central Empire is extremely dissatisfied with you, and they are going to send someone to take you to the Central Empire for questioning.” Liu Bai presented the received news to Xiao Tianyao with a serious face.
The Eastern Country was a subsidiary state of the Central Empire. Once Xiao Tianyao was brought to the Central Empire for questioning, the power and prestige he has established in the country will collapse instantly.
Xiao Tianyao took the letter, unfolded it, read it without saying a word, and sneered: The Empress has a heart.
The letter was sent by the eldest prince of the Central Empire, Xuanyuan Zhi. It not only wrote about the movements of the Central Empire, but also reminded Xiao Tianyao that someone in the east had contacted Tiancang Pavilion, and wanted Tiancang Pavilion to put pressure on the Central Empire to bring Xiao Tianyao as soon as possible to the Central Empire.
“Wangye, is it the Emperor?” Xuanyuan Zhi’s letter was not sent directly to Xiao Tianyao, Liu Bai had checked it beforehand, so he naturally knew what was written on it.
“Impossible.” The Emperor doesn’t have that brain yet, and the Emperor cannot persuade Tiancang Pavilion to come forward.
As everyone knew, Tiancang Pavilion has never interfered in the government affairs of the four countries, let alone owe favors to the Central Empire.
“Who else could it be if not the Emperor?” Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking hard.
There was no way to find out about this matter. Tiancang Pavilion was in the business of buying and selling news. They can find out information about anyone, but it was extremely difficult to find out news about Tiancang Pavilion.
Xiao Tianyao pondered for a moment and said, “Who will get benefits if benwang will be taken away from the east?”
Liu Bai’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “It’s the Empress!”
“That’s right, it’s the Empress, and now she is the only one who can persuade Tiancang Pavilion to take action.” Xiao Tianyao sneered silently and tapped his fingers on the table.
He has to say that the Empress’s move was wonderful and timely. Tiancang Pavilion will not accept it later on, but Tiancang Pavilion will accept it at this moment.
“Is she going to sell the east to Tiancang Pavilion?” Liu Bai was not stupid, Xiao Tianyao figured it out as soon as he reminded him.
The Tiancang Pavilion can’t intervene in the affairs of the four countries. The East can only agree to let the Tiancang Pavilion return and establish a branch like before.
“It will be just the same as before, how can she sell it?” The coldness in Xiao Tian’s dazzling eyes was even stronger.
The Tiancang Pavilion has spanned four countries for many years. The emperors of all countries seem to be used to it and don’t think there is anything wrong. And so the empress doesn’t think there was anything wrong with letting Tiancang Pavilion return to the East.
“The Empress took a shot and killed the spies of Tiancang Pavilion, but now she is cooperating with Tiancang Pavilion? Isn’t she afraid of being sold by Tiancang Pavilion?” Thinking of the Empress’s actions during this period, Liu Bai couldn’t help but feel chilled.
She used Concubine Zhou to abolish the crown prince, then she joined forces with Prince Xiao to clean up the emperor and eliminate the spies from Tiancang Pavilion, and now she was cooperating with Tiancang Pavilion to clean up Prince Xiao.
“If they have to choose, Tiancang Pavilion will choose the Empress.” Xiao Tianyao was not surprised. The hatred between him and Tiancang Pavilion was not only for a day. As long as the people in Tiancang Pavilion were not out of their minds, they will do anything so that they will not fall into his hands.
As everyone knew, if he takes over the power of the East, Tiancang Pavilion will never be able to return to the East to establish a branch and place spies.
Tiancang Pavilion will not be happy to see such a result. After all, once it happened, the other countries will follow. The west, the north, and the south will not let any spies from Tiancang Pavilion stay. They wouldn’t be able to find any news about the East, so why would they let others inquire about news about their own country? They will inevitably be dissatisfied.
Things in this world do not worry about scarcity, but inequality. If there were spies from Tiancang Pavilion in the four countries, no one will feel that there was anything wrong with it. Once there was one special, others will not be reconciled.
Tiancang Pavilion will never allow such a thing to happen. If they can return to the East, so what if Tiancang Pavilion cooperates with the Empress?
Liu Bai couldn’t think of this for a while, but it was not important. As long as Liu Bai knows what he should do: “Shall I let someone watch the Empress and the Seventh Prince?” The Seventh Prince was the lifeline of the Empress. As long as the Seventh Prince fall into their hands, Liu Bai didn’t believe that the Empress dared to dance.
But Xiao Tianyao refused without even thinking about it: “I won’t be so low to use women’s methods.” He was not like the emperor. He disdains using such methods to calculate others, and he doesn’t need to use such dirty methods.
Xiao Tianyao thought for a while, and then said: “Go, bring Imperial Doctor Qin to benwang.”
“Yes.” Liu Bai didn’t understand Xiao Tianyao’s intention, but he didn’t ask. He simply turned around and carried out Xiao Tianyao’s order.
After Liu Bai left, Xiao Tianyao didn’t stop. He wrote several letters and asked the shadow guard to deliver the letters. After looking at the time, Xiao Tianyao hesitated for a moment, and ordered: “Have someone cook a bowl of chicken soup for wangfei.” He vaguely remembered that it was necessary to maintain her body.
“… …” The guard outside was stunned for a moment before he took the order.
Xiao Tianyao rubbed the center of his brows, leaned back on the chair, and relaxed his body a little. But after a while, he heard footsteps outside the door, so Xiao Tianyao sat up straight immediately and pulled himself together.
“Wangye, Imperial Doctor Qin is here.” Liu Bai walked in with Imperial Doctor Qin.
The wound on Imperial Doctor Qin’s forehead has been bandaged, and he has changed into clean clothes again, but it was still difficult to hide his depression.
“The old doctor pays respect to wangye, may you live a thousand years old.” Imperial Doctor Qin was no longer as arrogant as before and bowed honestly as soon as he came in. There was no gleam in his eyes, only deep anxiety, and fear.
Back then, he relied on the support of the Emperor, so he often found trouble with Prince Xiao.
“How is the emperor doing now?” Xiao Tianyao didn’t intend to get Imperial Doctor Qin to get up. Although he was not a villain who becomes arrogant as soon as he gains power, he was not a saint either. If others give in and beg for mercy, he will forget everything that happened?
“The emperor hasn’t woken up so far. Imperial Concubine Zhou blamed the minister for his poor medical skills, and called other imperial physicians to treat the emperor.” Without the support of the emperor, and being unable to wake the emperor up, one can imagine how difficult Imperial Doctor Qin’s life was now.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t talk much with Imperial Doctor Qin and asked directly: “How sure are you that you can cure the Emperor’s illness?”
“Wangye?” Imperial Doctor Qin looked up in shock, unable to believe what he heard.
