“The results are out. Next…” Emperor Yan looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“Madam Lin will lead the two of you to represent the Great Yan to compete with Chu Jin.”

Everyone immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue, convinced.

Lin Xiaoyue was delighted and bowed to Emperor Yan to thank him.

“Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best!”

Emperor Yan nodded in satisfaction.

“Get up.”

He looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“The Imperial Advisor recommended you to me, but I had my doubts. 1 was too shallow…” Emperor Yan said.

Then, he looked at Liu Wuji with an apologetic look in his eyes.

Only then did Liu Wuji’s expression improve a little, but he also avoided Emperor Yan’s gaze.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan could not help but laugh.

“Haha, I’ve finally seen for myself what it means for a woman to be better than a man.”

Emperor Yan was not stingy with his praise and praised Lin Xiaoyue a few times.

When he saw Liu Wuji finally looking at him, he finally stopped.

“Today’s test has been going on for half a day. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. In a moment, the three of you will join me.” Emperor Yan said happily.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Lin Xiaoyue and the others hurriedly thanked him.

At the same time, in Consort Shu’s palace.

Li Xiao and Consort Shu were almost done catching up.

Consort Shu already knew that her son was fine and was living well in the Liu family.

She also knew about the relationship between the Imperial Consort and Prince Anyang and her younger brother’s family.

“No wonder the Imperial Concubine has always taken care of me. 1 thought…”Consort Shu’s words stopped at the tip of her tongue.

She thought that the Imperial Consort was sent by the Emperor to test her.

“She’s probably afraid that you won’t believe her, so she did not tell you the truth.” Li Xiao said.

Consort Shu nodded.

“Then I’ll pretend not to know next to avoid arousing suspicion.”

Li Xiao looked at his sister.

“It’s fine. Prince Anyang has already returned to the capital. Moreover, he knows that I came with Yue’er to the capital.”

If Prince Anyang knew, then the Imperial Consort should already know.

“Don’t worry too much.” Seeing Consort Shu’s worried expression, Li Xiao continued.

“I took the risk to come and find you this time just to tell you.”

“Before Yue’er and 1 leave the capital, we will think of a way to take you out of the palace.” Li Xiao’s eyes were filled with determination.

Consort Shu was shocked, and then she was overjoyed.

However, it only took a moment for her to calm down, and her expression turned into worry again.

“No way! Although the emperor’s supervision of me has relaxed a little, I still feel that someone is watching me. If anyone found out…” It was enough for her to know that her brother and son were safe.

As for her, she had the Imperial Consort to take care of her in the palace. No one dared to make things too difficult for her, so it was nothing.

“No one will find out.” Li Xiao said in a deep voice. He interrupted Consort Shu.

“Previously, when we worked with Prince Anyang, His Highness agreed to help you leave the palace.”

“It was because 1 didn’t show my face before, and the Imperial Consort felt that it was difficult to gain your trust. In addition, the incident with the Nangong Army had just happened, and the timing was too sensitive, so His Highness didn’t take action.”

“But now, more than half a year has passed. It is almost time for Chu Jin to negotiate with the Great Yan.”

During the peace talks, the guards would not be so strict.

Other than that, he, Yue’er, and Prince Anyang were all present.

In addition, with the help of his master and the Imperial Consort, the chances of success were extremely high.

“But…” Consort Shu was still worried.

“No buts. We’re all waiting for you to come home.”

“Moreover, we can only help Prince Anyang if you leave.” Li Xiao said in a deep voice.

Consort Shu was instantly stunned.

Go home? The Great General’s Mansion was already wrecked, did she still have a home?

Thinking about it, shei finally nodded.

“Alright.”

Her brother was right, as long as she stayed in the palace, she would be a pawn in the Emperor’s hands to threaten her brother.

Only when she left the palace could her brother be less afraid.

After getting the result he wanted, Li Xiao was finally relieved.

“It’s getting late. 1 have to go.”

Consort Shu’s expression immediately changed.

She subconsciously grabbed Li Xiao’s arm, unwilling to part with her brother after just meeting him.

However, she knew the seriousness of the matter and let go of her hand as soon as she reached out.

Right now, it was indeed not suitable for him to stay here any longer. She could not be too selfish.

Li Xiao glanced at his sister and patted the back of her hand..
