Xiao Tianyao’s straightforwardness was beyond the expectations of the Emperor and the Empress, but although they could not help but think too much, they thought that after Xiao Tianyao left, they would be free to do things, so they had no time to think about why Xiao Tianyao left so readily. They just hope that there will be no accidents in these three days so that Xiao Tianyao can leave smoothly.

To let Xiao Tianyao leave happily, the Emperor has been very polite to Xiao Tianyao these three days. No matter what Xiao Tianyao asked, the Emperor nodded in agreement. People who didn’t know thought that the two brothers had a good relationship, while those who knew just laughed and said nothing.

Three days later, Xiao Tianyao arranged everything and set off with Lin Chujiu and the Imperial Envoy to the Central Empire.

The Third Prince Xiao Zian was ordered by the Emperor to see Xiao Tianyao and his party off and personally sent them outside the city gate.

Outside the city gate, at the nearby pavilion, Xiao Tianyao was saying goodbye to Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Lin. Seeing Lin Chujiu standing alone in the corner, Xiao Zian walked forward.

“Imperial Aunt!” Xiao Zian stepped forward respectfully and without being rude and saluted Lin Chujiu.

“Third Prince.” Lin Chujiu also politely returned the gift, as unfamiliar as the first time they met.

Xiao Zian sighed inaudibly. He knew that his Imperial Mother Concubine and the Zhou family had done many disgraceful things when Prince Xiao was in trouble. He was not qualified to ask Lin Chujiu to forgive him, nor was he qualified to ask Lin Chujiu to get close to him, it was just… …

Xiao Zian couldn’t help but say some things: “Imperial Aunt, the Central Empire is different from the East, you…you don’t need to go.”

The Central Empire respects the strong, and the people of the Central Empire have always looked down on the people of the four dependent countries. Prince Xiao was okay, he was a martial god. He can receive courtesy in the Central Empire, but Lin Chujiu was different.

Prince Xiao can protect himself in the Central Empire, but he may not be able to protect Lin Chujiu. Even if he can protect Lin Chujiu, he cannot always guard Lin Chujiu. It was very dangerous for Lin Chujiu to go to the Central Empire.

“The husband sings and the wife follows. Wangye is going to the Central Empire, so I naturally have to follow.” Lin Chujiu knew that Xiao Zian had good intentions, but…she couldn’t accept it.

The Central Empire was indeed dangerous for her, but what about the Eastern Country?

When Xiao Tianyao leaves the capital, will the Emperor let her go? Will the Empress let her go?

They might not harm her on the surface, but what about behind the scene?

Instead of staying in the capital, every day guarding against whether the Emperor and the Empress will attack her, it was better to go to the Central Empire with Xiao Tianyao.

She believed in Xiao Tianyao, believed that Xiao Tianyao could protect her, and she was not weak enough to need Xiao Tianyao to guard her around the clock.

“Imperial Uncle is very lucky to marry you.” Xiao Zian didn’t know what Lin Chujiu was thinking and thought that Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao agreed. Even though they knew it was dangerous, they insisted on going together to the Central Empire.

Lin Chujiu knew that Xiao Zian had misunderstood, but she had no intention of explaining. There was nothing between her and Xiao Zian, and there will be nothing in the future.

The two of them were relatively speechless. Xiao Tianyao had already finished speaking with Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Lin. When he turned his head and saw Lin Chujiu standing with Xiao Zian, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Both of them were men. He was aware of the way Xiao Zian looked at Lin Chujiu, which made him very unhappy, no matter it was before or now.

However, Xiao Tianyao didn’t show it, and only said coldly: “Go to the carriage and wait for benwang!”

“Yes, my lord.” In front of people, Lin Chujiu was always gentle and obedient to Princess Xiao, who will never embarrass Xiao Tianyao. So Lin Chujiu took the maid and walked towards the carriage.

Seeing Lin Chujiu’s leaving back, Prime Minister Lin wanted to step forward several times but stopped in the end. Prime Minister Lin thought he was doing it covertly, but he didn’t know that all his little moves fell into Xiao Tianyao’s eyes.

Since Prime Minister Lin did this, Xiao Tianyao guessed seven points even if he didn’t guess ten points.

Thinking about it, the Lin family in the Central Empire probably knew of Lin Chujiu’s existence, and they would probably find Lin Chujiu and all of this was caused by Prime Minister Lin.

Prime Minister Lin plotted against his princess secretly but expected his forces in the country to protect him, which was simply ridiculous.

After perfunctorily speaking a few words to Prime Minister Lin, Xiao Tianyao turned indifferently, and walked towards the carriage with firm and steady steps, without the slightest anxiety or excitement of going to the Central Empire.

There was a flash of approval in the eyes of Prime Minister You, and he became more determined to stand in Xiao Tianyao’s faction.

Prime Minister You was not in a hurry to leave, he watched Xiao Tianyao leave until he could no longer see Xiao Tianyao and his party, then turned back to the city.

Before leaving, Prime Minister You glanced at Prime Minister Lin without a trace, and shook his head: Prime Minister Lin thinks his foolishness is cleverness. He had planned his whole life, even his daughter, but in the end, he still couldn’t see through many things. He deserved to be given up by Prince Xiao.

In the carriage, Lin Chujiu was half lying in Xiao Tianyao’s arms, looking at the constantly receding scenery outside the window, feeling depressed for no reason.

“What? Can’t bear to leave?” Xiao Tianyao patted Lin Chujiu’s back lightly and slowly.

“A little reluctant.” There was also confusion and anxiety about the way forward.

This was a common problem for people. When people leave a familiar place and go to a new place, they will be curious and look forward to it, but will also be uneasy and confused.

“We will come back.” The Emperor thought that once he left, it would be impossible for him to come back.

Simply naive.

He will come back again, such a small country like the East won’t be able to stop him if he wants to come back!

“When we come back again, I’m afraid many things will be different.” Xiao Tianyao told her a lot during this time. Although Xiao Tianyao never said his purpose, from his words, Lin Chujiu guessed his ambition.

This man was very ambitious. What he wanted was not the Eastern Country. What he wanted was this world. A world that can be equal to the Central Empire, not a subsidiary country of the Central Empire.

“So what if people and place become different? Is there anyone in the East you can’t let go of?” Speaking of which, Lin Chujiu’s social circle was very small. Aside from the people around him, she has no friends of her own.

Of course, he was to blame for all of this, he was the one who kept Lin Chujiu by his side and prevented her from flying out.

“No, but I still don’t want to leave, and suddenly thought of not wanting to leave.” Perhaps she was like a baby bird. She was in the Eastern Country when she opened her eyes, so she regards this country as her home, so it was inevitable to be sad to leave now.

“Stupid.” Xiao Tianyao patted Lin Chujiu’s head angrily: “To prevent you from thinking wildly, benwang will tell you something.”

“What’s the matter?” Lin Chujiu asked listlessly.

Xiao Tianyao changed his posture and held Lin Chujiu in his arms: “I’ll tell you about the situation of the Central Empire.”

It was difficult for the four countries to inquire about the affairs of the Central Empire. Xiao Tianyao knew very little about it before, but since the Eldest Prince and he made an “Alliance”, the affairs of the Central Empire were no longer a secret to Xiao Tianyao… …
