To find out the forces behind the Empress, while dealing with the reinforcements, Liu Bai didn’t forget to spend all his energy watching over the Old Mama beside the Empress. Not long after, Liu Bai soon found out.

Even though he still had a lot of work to do, Liu Bai returned home that night after receiving the news. He ran to the Xiao Wangfu in the middle of the night, demanding to see Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Tianyao had always been a workaholic. Every time he will work until the middle of the night, and he would not take a break. In the past, he would often look for him at this hour. Most of the time, Xiao Tianyao did not take a break. Occasionally, he would run into him when he was resting, but Xiao Tianyao will get up.

Government affairs were important. Liu Bai was still working at this time, the matter was certainly not small!

And this has always been the truth. Liu Bai looked for Xiao Tianyao in the middle of the night because the matter was big. Everything was like before, but… …

This time, Xiao Tianyao was very unhappy, not only did he let Liu Bai wait for two-quarters of an hour, but he came in with a black face.

“Liu Bai, you had better have something important!” Otherwise, I chop you!

Xiao Tianyao didn’t say the latter words, but his meaning was very obvious.

“Wangye? You, are you alright?” Liu Bai was stunned and puzzled while looking at Xiao Tianyao.

He hasn’t done anything wrong lately, right? So what was wrong with their prince?

Xiao Tianyao didn’t pay any attention to him. He sat down on the chair and said with a cold face: “Tell me quickly what’s the matter?” Does Liu Bai have a brain? He went looking for him in the middle of the night, didn’t he think he will disturb his sleep?

“Yes, I found out about the Empress’s movement.” Liu Bai was scared to jump by Xiao Tianyao and replied immediately.

“Speak.” Xiao Tianyao was full of impatience and his tone was impatient.

Although Liu Bai didn’t know the reason, he knew that Xiao Tianyao was unhappy, so he said quickly: “It seems that the Empress’s people are after the Yangtze River. Our scouts have found out about it, and they are preparing to spread the news and let the people from nearby take action.”

“The Yangtze River? What does the Empress want to do?” It can’t be like that, right?

“Put levee, flooded house, flooded field.” Liu Bai guessed with Xiao Tianyao’s question.

“Create chaos? The Empress has a good Ability.” When Xiao Tianyao heard of it, he understood the Empress’s Plan.

He has to say, the Empress was indeed a cruel person and courageous. But he has the same opinion, the pattern was not big enough, only staring at the immediate small interests.

“This is an opportunity. The Empress wants to contact her people from all over the country. We can follow their trail and find out who are the Empress’s spies.” Of course, Liu Bai knew what the Empress was planning, but what he saw was another side.

“Follow the trail? You want the Empress’s men to take action?” How can they find them if they stop them?

“Mmm!” Liu Bai didn’t hesitate to nod.

This was a great opportunity, and possibly the only one.

The Empress’s power distribution was too broad and all over the place, they simply can not eliminate them one by one.

“Have you ever thought about the people living in the Yangtze River?” This was a good opportunity, but also too heartless.

“We didn’t do this.” It wasn’t them who hurt the people.

“Have you thought about the consequences?” The Yangtze River broke down, there will be many victims everywhere. The country will be in chaos.

“We were in the middle of the disaster, and by the time we got in the middle, it will be almost done.” This was hitting two birds with one stone. Not only they can find out about the Empress’s spies, but also let the Emperor recover. Let the Emperor clean up everything after.

“Although the effect is good,… No!” Xiao Tianyao also did not want to refuse.

Liu Bai couldn’t understand: “Why not? This action will benefit us but no harm.”

“If I say no, then no. Immediately intercept their news and kill the messengers.” Although there were many benefits to breaking the dike, it was too unreasonable. Although he killed without blinking, he never harmed innocent people.

This was his principle.

“Wangye, you, this is a woman’s benevolence.” Liu Bai’s disapproval way.

“Whatever, just do it according to Benwang’s order.” Xiao Tianyao couldn’t help but say.

Liu Bai also didn’t dare to refuse, but still didn’t forget to add: “Wangye, if we miss this chance, finding the Empress’s people will be more difficult.”

“No.” To find out the Empress’s strongholds, there will be opportunities, this time was not rare.

Liu Bai was helpless and could only sigh.

“Wangye, there’s news from Xin ‘Anjiang. The Young Prince of the Central Empire has been saved by the people of Shadowmoon Building. The people of Shadowmoon Building are arranging for him to come to the capital secretly. He will arrive in the capital soon.” This was also an urgent matter.

If the people from Shadowmoon Building sent the young prince here, wouldn’t their previous efforts have been in vain?

Xiao Tianyao was amused for a moment and said: “Benwang will order the suppression of bandits tomorrow.”

“This method is very good.” Liu Bai’s eyes lit up and repeatedly nodded his head.

There was nothing better than honestly suppressing the bandits.

“Is there anything else?” Xiao Tianyao impatiently asked.

Liu Bai shook his head: “No, nothing else.”

“Get lost if you have nothing else to do. In the future, don’t look for me at night unless the sky falls.” Xiao Tianyao got up, walked out like a gust of wind, and passed by Liu Bai. Leaving him standing dazed: “Why? Why I can’t come at night suddenly?”

Aside from Liu Bai, no one else was in the study room, so no one can give him an answer… …

Xiao Tianyao sent Liu Bai away and went back to the backyard immediately, but when he arrived, he pushed the door gently and walked inside with light footsteps.

“You’re back?” The person on the bed mumbled. He could not see her expression, but just by listening to her voice, he knew that she must be sleepy as if she was about to wake up.

“Mmm. I’m back.” Xiao Tianyao walked to the screen, took off his coat, and wiped his hands. Then, he walked to the bed, lay down, and hugged Lin Chujiu from behind.

Half-asleep and half-awake. Lin Chujiu didn’t refuse but also didn’t cooperate. She just let Xiao Tianyao embrace her but didn’t lean into his arms.

“Liu Bai came to me. He said that the Empress ordered her men in the dark to flood the Yangtze River. I asked him to send people to stop them.” Xiao Tianyao was used to telling Lin Chujiu what was going on. He didn’t want to listen to her opinion, he just wanted to talk to her.

Because he doesn’t know what else he can say to her.

“The Empress is really… not afraid of death.” Lin Chujiu yawned and muttered: “The Empress lived too well. She doesn’t know how many people will die if the Yangtze River barrier was broken. Didn’t she think how many people will die?”

“The Empress was cornered. She wanted to use unusual means to bring me down.” If such a huge natural disaster occurred during his reign, it would cause public anger and lose the people’s support.

The Empress has a brilliant plan but was … … too cruel.

“It is indeed a good idea. Unfortunately, the timing is not right. If she succeeds, the Emperor will be the unlucky one.” Xiao Tianyao cured the emperor’s illness so that he could return power to the emperor.

Of course, the return of political power doesn’t mean return the of power. Even if the Emperor will be back in control, it was just a decoration. His power will be limited… …
