Only then did Shen Miao remember Ye Hongguang. She asked MO Qing and the others to rest while she went to the room next door to see Ye Hongguang.

Gao Yang was still around. He told Shen Miao that Ye Hongguang’s life was saved, but he had yet to wake up. No one knew when he would wake up. After all, he was seriously injured. If not for MO Qing and Cong Yang bringing him back in time, he might be long dead.

In the end, Gao Yang glanced at Ye Hongguang on the bed and asked, “What are you going to do? The emperor clearly wants to deal with the Ye family, but you brought the young master of the Ye family to your mansion. Are you going to raise him in the future?”

“What does the emperor plan to do with the Ye family?” Shen Miao asked. “Someone as smart as you surely knows.” Gao Yang smiled. “Are you taking pity on them?”

“Of course not. The emperor did the right thing. If the Ye family and the Lu family are dealt with cleanly, the throne will be more stable. It’s just that…” She glanced at Ye Hongguang.” This child is not involved in anything Ye Maocai did. The only thing he did wrong was being born in the Ye family. Let’s wait and see. I don’t know if he can survive. If possible, I hope I can ask the empress for a favor to keep him alive.”

“You’re really strange.” Gao Yang was puzzled. “Why are you so benevolent to this young boy? Back in Ming Qi, I’ve never seen you so kind. What’s so special about this young man that you treat him differently?”

“Because of his face.” Shen Miao smiled.

“Face?” Gao Yang looked at Ye Hongguang’s face for a long time but could not see anything special. He waved his fan and said, “I don’t understand.”

“It’s fine if you don’t understand.” Shen Miao said, “It’s not something serious anyway.” She lowered her voice. “Xie Jingxing is going to launch an attack on Ming Qi, right?”

Gao Yang suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Miao. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not.

“I knew that this day would eventually come, but I didn’t expect it to come so quickly.” Shen Miao sighed. “Is His Majesty… running out of time?”

“Actually, I should lie to you, but I don’t think you are a gullible person. I’m afraid I’ll even make you unhappy.” Gao Yang said, “If I make you unhappy, Miss Luo will be angry with me. You’re right. His Majesty’s condition is getting worse. Prince Rui should have already told you about the edict to pass down the throne. Now, His Majesty is picking out some trusted people to go to Ming Qi with Prince Rui.” He paused for a moment and said, “The spies in Ming Qi have already sent back news that Fu Xiuyi has already reached an alliance with the emperor of the State of Qin and took the initiative to attack the Daliang Dynasty. If they take down the Daliang Dynasty, the two countries will split it equally.”

“Fu Xiuyi really has a big appetite. Isn’t he afraid of getting choked?” Shen Miao sneered. Fu Xiuyi probably became more ambitious and greedy after obtaining tne tnrone. Betore tnat, ne was very respectful to tne people ot tne Danang Dynasty and had a very neutral attitude. Now that he had formed an alliance with the State of Qin, he even dared to strike first.

“He’s not only driven by arrogance.” Gao Yang smiled. However, when one looked at him closely, they would find that his smile was a little solemn. He said, “In the previous battle between the Lu family and the royal family, although the Lu family was wiped out, the royal family also suffered a loss. At this critical juncture, the Daliang Dynasty’s military strength is actually not much different from Qin Ming and the State of Win combined.”

“But most importantly, Fu Xiuyi knows His Majesty’s illness, so he can spread it and destroy our morale at any time. I believe in Prince Rui’s ability, but this battle will definitely not be easy,” Gao Yang said.

“I never thought this war would be easy.” Shen Miao said sadly, “Fighting a war is always difficult.”

“That’s why Prince Rui will personally lead the troops. However, Ming Qi has already made a move. They’re causing trouble at the border. Now, they are just testing the water. Before long, they will officially declare war. Prince Rui doesn’t have much time, so he’s been preparing recently. He doesn’t want to tell you because he’s afraid that you’ll be distracted.” Shen Miao was silent for a moment before saying, “I understand.” “Then, will you go to Ming Qi with him?” Gao Yang asked. Shen Miao turned her head and said in amusement, “Can I?”

“Why not?”

Shen Miao looked ahead and said indifferently, “I don’t know when this war will end. If anything happens to His Majesty, he will definitely step down and let Prince Rui take over the throne.”

“At that time, I’ll be the empress and will be restricted by many rules. I’m not that ambitious, and I don’t want him to be criticized because of me.”

“I’ll stay and protect the Daliang Dynasty well for him while he’s gone to war..”
