Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 412

Chapter 412: The Emperor Has Always Been A Man of Unpredictable Depths

“Don’t you worry my Royal Brother, I will escort our Royal Sister back to the imperial capital safely.” After Long Xiao collected his thoughts, he respectfully pledged.

“Well, I believe you can do it.” Long Yang nodded lightly, then turned his head to look at Long Qingzhi and said, “There are still things in the imperial capital that I need to go back to deal with, so I will go ahead first, there is no need for Eleventh Brother and you to rush. If there is a good physician here, then ask him to take a look at Zhi’er first before journeying back to the capital. It will be okay as long as you are back before my wedding.”

Long Qingzhi nodded. “Alright, take care of yourself.”

“Mmm.” Long Yang looked at Long Xiao before saying, “I will let Chu Qi and Shi Yi stay.”

Wanyan Jin was determined to eradicate them, if he could arrange the elite troops all the way here, he would have sent people to intercept them for the rest of the journey as well.

Long Qingzhi was shocked and said anxiously, “How is this okay? You have left all the people to me, what about you?”

Long Yang pressed her shoulder. “Do not worry about me, I have my arrangements.”

Long Qingzhi was about to say something, but Long Yang had already turned to Long Xiao. “The safety of our Royal Sister and Zhi’er will be in your hands, Danjue has sent their elite troops over, be careful.”

Long Xiao assured, “Don’t you worry, my Royal Brother, I will even sacrifice my life just to keep our Royal Sister and Zhi’er safe.”

“Alright.” Long Yang nodded, “That’s it, I will head back first then.”

Long Qingzhi wanted to send him off but was stopped by him. “All this time on the road, I’m sure Zhi’er is also tired, hurry up and put her to rest.”

Long Qingzhi had to stop in her steps.

Long Yang strode out of Xiangyang Mansion. Long Xiao didn’t dare to be slow either, he followed behind until he saw him getting on his horse and left, only then did he went back into the mansion.

After arranging for a physician to treat Zhi’er, he found an excuse to go to the study room.

Long Xiao’s aide had already gotten the news that the Emperor was heading toward Xiangyang. When he saw him entering, he immediately proposed, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don’t we send someone…” whilst making a chopping gesture.

Long Xiao glanced at him and sat down on the chair. “Do you think that my Royal Brother is so stupid that he dares to return to the capital just by himself?”

The aide frowned. “Although there are covert guards secretly protecting him, the number of people he brought will not be much, this is such a rare opportunity, it is a pity to miss it.”

Long Xiao knew that. “You thought my Royal Brother wouldn’t know what we are doing in the dark? He already knew everything since a long time ago, but he chose not to expose us. As soon as I take a wrong step, he will have the reason to immediately abolish me. He deliberately left two of his close generals here to test my mind. If I make a move, not only will it not give me any advantages, but will also leave him something that he could use against me.”

The aide wiped off his cold sweat. “My Liege, you are more meticulous than I am.”

Long Xiao sneered. “It’s just that I know my Royal Brother better than you do.”

Royal Brother has always been an inscrutable person. If someone were to underestimate him, then they would be the one to rue the day.

Even so, the aide still felt regretful. “My Liege, if you miss this opportunity, you won’t have such a good chance again.”

How could Long Xiao not know?

What else can be done about that?

“I’m afraid that before Royal Brother came here, he had already arranged everything, otherwise he wouldn’t have come to Xiangyang City.”

Royal Brother would never do anything that he was not sure of.

The aide’s original foolish thoughts quickly died out.

According to his plan, if the Emperor was out alone, it would be a perfect way to capture him. They could then force him to abdicate his throne, and this would be the best solution.

In this way, the crowned prince of the imperial capital is just a no-one.

However, the Liege’s scruples are not without a reason.
