“Young Lady?” The man’s voice wasn’t forgiving¹, as he called again with great patience. The hand that pressed down Xiao YuAn’s shoulder didn’t loosen up at all.

Xiao Fengyue and Yang LiuAn were also very surprised by the sudden change. Yang LiuAn’s hand softly brushed past where he had a hidden dagger on his waist. Xiao Fengyue stepped forward to half-protect Xiao YuAn: “Officer, my sister is afraid of strangers and she’s also mute, if there’s any problem, you can ask me².”

The man dressed in a guard uniform chuckled as he let go of his hand: “Then I’ll trouble the two brothers to come with me.”

Xiao Fengyue was stunned: “Go with you… my Dage and I?”

The man nodded indiscreetly: “Don’t worry, after we ask you a few questions you’ll be able to go back.”

Xiao Fengyue and Yang LiuAn glanced at each other. In the end, they couldn’t do anything else than to agree.

Xiao YuAn gently patted the two of them, indicating that everything will be alright, and that they must come back as quickly as possible.

Seeing the man left alongside Xiao Fengyue and Yang LiuAn, Xiao YuAn retreated to the outside of the Imperial City’s gate, waiting for them to come back. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps next to him, followed by a calm and dignified voice: “Emperor of the Northern Kingdom, what a sorry appearance you have. You really must have taken great pains in trying to escape for the sake of living.”

Xiao YuAn was frightened at first, but then he resigned himself and sighed in defeat. As he untied his bun, he turned around to face him: “General Xue.”

Xue Yan³ stood with his hands down, slightly surprised: “The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom actually knows who I am?”

Of course he does! You’re the uncle of Yan HeQing, the male lead! You’re the elder brother of Yan HeQing’s mother, the Empress!

Xiao YuAn remembered that in the original book, Xue Yan was a great General of the Southern Yan Kingdom. He was extremely loyal to the Southern Yan, and when Yan HeQing was still young, Xue Yan saw the extraordinary capacities of Yan HeQing, so he supported him all the way; hoping that Yan HeQing would turn the Southern Yan Kingdom into a powerful Country. He was also an important figure in the original book.

“General Xue’s reputation spreads far and wide.” Xiao YuAn said perfunctorily.

In reality, Xue Yan didn’t care about Xiao YuAn’s weird attitude. As he carelessly straightened his sleeves, he said: “Emperor of the Northern Kingdom-…”

Xiao YuAn suddenly interrupted him with a decisive tone of voice: “I’m no longer the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom.”

Xue Yan was slightly startled at this, and after recovering from the initial shock, he smiled: “Fine, then I won’t refer to you with that title. There’s no need for you to fear me, I haven’t come here to stop you from leaving.” Xiao YuAn could hardly believe his ears.

Xue Yan didn’t come here to arrest him? In the original book, Xue Yan was described to be a very meticulous person. But now, and judging by the current situation, wasn’t he afraid that Xiao YuAn might try to restore his Country after safely escaping? Isn’t it better to eliminate the root of the problem? So he came all the way here to do just that?

Xue Yan carefully observed Xiao YuAn’s expression and then said: “I wonder, what do you plan to do in the future after this escape?”

Was he trying to test his intentions?

Xiao YuAn, who was full of doubts, felt that his words were filled with deceit everywhere; so after carefully thinking about it, he replied with honesty: “I want to live a simple farming life and forget everything about the past.”

Xue Yan looked at him closely, his gaze was like a hook. As if he wanted to take Xiao YuAn’s heart out to spread it under the heavens, so that everyone can have a good look at it, and tell whether he was telling the truth: “The farming life is indeed very good. But, even if you say this is your final decision, are you willing to swear an oath?”

Xiao YuAn murmured ‘whatever, there’s nothing to be afraid of’, and simply pointed three fingers to the Heavens: “The Heavens and the Earth are my witness. If I can leave today safely, then I swear to never take another step into this City, and if I break this oath, I shall die an unnatural death!”

Xue Yan suddenly clapped his hands and laughed out loud. Then he turned around and no longer trapped Xiao YuAn. At the same time, the guard that took Xiao Fengyue and Yang LiuAn came back with them. He then followed Xue Yan into the Imperial City.

As the two of them walked towards the gate of the Imperial City, Xiao YuAn felt that an invisible wall rose, isolating himself away from the others; like being in a trance, like being in completely different worlds.

The guard whispered to Xue Yan: “General, this move was really dangerous.”

Xue Yan was speechless for a while before he slowly said: “But I won the bet.”

It was dangerous, way too dangerous.

For the sake of the Southern Yan Kingdom, the Northern Monarch couldn’t stay, he absolutely couldn’t stay. However, Xue Yan also knew that he couldn’t kill him or even hurt him; because with Yan HeQing’s temperament, if anything happened to the Northern Monarch, he would get to the bottom of it.

However, in this world, apart from hurting somebody’s body, you can also punish their hearts.

So he sent his men to pretend to hurt the Northern Emperor, advising him to not leave any physical trauma, and then he appeared at the right time to save him. All of this was because he wanted the Northern Emperor to believe that Yan HeQing wanted to hurt him.

Xue Yan knew Yan HeQing, and he knew that the only way to get Yan HeQing to let the Northern Emperor go, was if he himself wanted to leave.

To let him run away without hesitation, feeling hatred for Yan HeQing.

So Xue Yan gambled whether the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom would question Yan HeQing as to why he wanted to hurt him.

And now, it was he the one who won the bet. He gambled for the sake of the prosperity of the Southern Yan Kingdom, he gambled for the sake of Yan HeQing’s future reign over the four nations.

“General, do you plan to give Yan-huangzi the news about the Northern Monarch’s escape? After all, Huangzi said before that he must be found right away.” The guard asked Xue Yan softly.

Xue Yan thought about it for a long while before replying: “Give him the news, but say that because the guards tried to prevent the Northern Monarch from escaping, he fought them with his life on the line. He was completely determined to leave, and because the guards were afraid of hurting him, they let him go. This way, Yan-huangzi would stop having hopeful thoughts of him.”

The guard understood the order, cupped his fists in sign of respect, and headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Half an hour later, a horse galloped out of the Imperial Palace. The sound of the horse neighed straight throughout the Heavens, rushing out of the Imperial City without stopping, completely making the common people around startled.

Someone, who was sharp-eyed enough to see it was the Royal horse, couldn’t help but shout out loud: “Yan-huangzi?!”

However, no one answered. The horse carrying the young man dressed in white left nothing but dust behind. It seemed as if he felt that fate was urging him, like if he was a moment slowler, then he would regret it for the rest of his life.

I told y’all that YHQ’s uncle saving XYA from a castration was… way too convenient. It was HIS plan all along!!!
