Unexpectedly, this Xi Yang is quite fast, and he even came to pick me up himself. (No pop-up ads)

  If he said that Xiao Feng had agreed, he didn't believe it. Xiao Feng was someone he had brought up with his own hands, and back when he inherited the throne, Xiao Feng had protected him many times.

  Not to mention that during this coup, the divine doctor was also asked by him in secret to find Xiao Feng. Such a straightforward person, how can he compromise? This doesn't make sense.

  "Good heavens, brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean I've done something wrong? He actually agreed to it. Look at this letter." Xū Yáng suddenly pulled out a letter from his pocket.

  He took it with a frown, seeing the words on it were sincere, helpless, wandering and humiliated. It's as if he was saying that if there wasn't someone to take care of him, every word would be written in blood.

  "What's the meaning of this, it's clearly your coercion." Xū Róng threw the letter on the table, and then regained his composure, sighing deeply. "Xū Yáng, this Xiao Feng is after all a guard by my side, if I were to give him to you, wouldn't that be too cold-blooded? In this imperial court, among the officials, if you take a liking to someone with power and influence, I would turn a blind eye, but why do you have to take a liking to this person?"

  "Your Majesty, I just like it, and this is also a matter that cannot be changed in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so unyielding," Xū Yáng said sincerely.

  "When Xiao Feng returns, I will personally ask for his opinion. In the meantime, you are not allowed to play any tricks." Xu Rong seemed to be quite helpless with regards to Xu Yang.

  Xu Yang smiled coldly in his heart, knowing you wouldn't agree directly, but this was exactly his intention.

  After a long moment of contemplation, he finally nodded, "Alright, I hope you can persuade him, Your Majesty." Xū Yáng winked at Xū Róng and bid farewell, but as he was leaving, he muttered to himself, "What's so good about this woman? And what's the big deal about Xiao Feng being a must-have?"

  Xu Rong listened with a slight jump of his eyebrows, but in his heart he was even more contemptuous of him.

  Just thinking of Xiao Feng...

  "Come, Xiao Feng, can you be excused from duty today?" Although Xiao Feng was a guard in front of the palace, his actual identity was that of the eldest son of Ding Guo Hou. Speaking of Ding Guo Hou, he was also an elder statesman who had served three dynasties. Therefore, although Xiao Feng came to serve as a guard in front of the palace, his status was special.

  After all, he was also a young master, but it seemed that he did not want to inherit his father's marquis title, so he took the initiative to participate in the rigorous selection and became his imperial guard.

  "Reporting back to Your Majesty, Xiao Shouwei indeed fell ill and has been bedridden for many days."

  "Let's set off. Today I'll go take a look, after all he is the son of Dingguo Hou." Xu Rong raised his head, seeing that it was not yet late, and gave an order.

  Someone was about to leave when Xiurong called out to him again, "Wait a minute. Go to the Taiyi Hospital and find Chu Jingxuan, have him go with Gu alone."

  Xu Yang left and walked into a small alley, and when he came out again, he was shrouded in an aura of evil intent as he headed towards the Xiao Lian Pavilion in the city.

  As soon as he entered the building, another figure identical to Xuyang suddenly jumped out from the end of the alley. The face and appearance were unmistakably those of Xuyang who had left earlier.

  Dingguo Mansion

  "Your Highness, you've finally arrived." A warm and refined voice echoed through the Wind Pavilion.

  "How could it be? I really thought you wouldn't make it?" Xū Yáng's mischievous face made that gentle person roll their eyes.

  Upon closer inspection, one of them was Xiao Feng who was ill at home, and the other was Xuyang who had entered Xiaoting's boudoir.

  "I was followed today, it seems that after the incident with the prime minister, they have become even more vigilant." Xū Yáng put away his smile and sat down on a stone bench.

  "How did you manage to get out of it? It's not easy to shake off someone as powerful as him." Xiao Feng was somewhat worried, he was willing to follow Xiang Yang as the leader, although there was a childhood favor, but more importantly, it was his admiration for this person who had endured in silence for many years.

  "You forgot, all these years, I've found several replacements." Xū Yáng sipped his wine lightly, casting a sideways glance at Xiāo Fēng.

  Xiao Feng was taken aback, then smiled, he had indeed forgotten. The autumn wind blew up a few golden osmanthus petals, which fell into his wine cup, adding a hint of fragrance.

  This year's osmanthus seems to have fallen a bit early.

  In the midst of contemplation, Emperor Dingguo suddenly appeared with a spry figure despite his advanced age. "The emperor has arrived, what have you done?" A square-shaped face, full of righteous energy, the lines etched by time were clear but couldn't conceal the handsomeness he had in his youth.

  "So soon?" Xū Yáng was somewhat surprised, and he knocked the wine cup in his hand onto the stone table with a moderate force. "This king has entered the imperial palace once."

  He said this, and the old fox's mind had already become active. "This opportunity is quite good. If we let the emperor think for himself, who knows when he will think of it? Recently, the imperial court has indeed been a bit annoying."

  Xiao Feng understood his father's intention. He had long wanted to leave the position of imperial guard, but unfortunately, he was impatient at that time and made a bet in a moment of anger. Now it seemed that Wang would have to clean up the mess, which suited their plan perfectly. He could play the role of a double agent once.

  "Father, you can rest assured that the king's plan this time is absolutely foolproof." Xiao Feng's gentle nature had also been rebellious before, and today he didn't regret it either. After all, if he hadn't become a sword-carrying guard from a young age, how could he have been saved by King Fei, and how could he have found a master who was willing to help him wholeheartedly?

  When he was still young, too many halos surrounded him. His calm and gentle temperament made him feel that life was so dull. Then came the pressure from Dingguo to learn literature and martial arts.

  With a sense of annoyance in his heart, he went to participate in the selection of imperial guards. At that time, he thought that by doing so, he could avoid the responsibilities imposed on him by his father while staying in the palace. However, unexpectedly... Fortunately, there was the appearance of Wang Ling.

  "Alas, it's also Father's fault for pressuring you back then." Duke Dingguo let out a deep sigh.

  "Don't mention the past anymore, it's all over. Lord Hou, you should go and calm down the Emperor, otherwise, Xiao Feng probably won't have time to prepare." Xuyang interrupted Dingguo Hou's remorse and Xiaofeng's reminiscence, saying with a hint of amusement.

  "Right, right, Feng Er, you're supposed to be sick at home." Ding Guo Hou suddenly reacted and quickly walked out.

  "Who would have thought that you, in your current state, would be so... unbelievable." Xū Yáng said halfway, then paused for a moment before coming up with a particularly apt description.

  "Prince, don't tease me anymore." Xiao Feng's steps faltered as he entered the house, and he turned back to say helplessly, "Besides, if I hadn't done that back then, how would we have met, and how could I have helped you all these years?" This was indeed a true statement, for he had concealed and altered many things about Xiang Yang in front of Xu Rong.

  "It's also good, go and prepare quickly." Xū Yáng smiled slyly, drinking the wine in his cup in one gulp, along with that one Osmanthus petal.

  Xiao Feng's figure disappeared into the shadows of the house, and Xū Yáng jumped out of the Dingguo Hou Mansion, landing on a dense Guangyulan tree, coldly staring at Xū Róng who was just coming down from the jade swing.

  If it weren't for him entering the palace today and coincidentally running into this scene, wouldn't Chu Lian have been wronged? Just thinking about Xū Yáng holding Chu Lian at that time made him want to splatter his blood on the spot.

  He clenched his fists tightly at his sides, and those gloomy eyes made anyone who saw them retreat in fear. Xi Yang's body was tense to the extreme, muttering silently in his heart, "What should I do with you, woman who can already stir up fluctuations within me?"

  Can't bear you staying by Xiurong's side, yet can't bring myself to let go of you when I see the determination in your eyes. What should I do with you?

  The branches swayed in the wind, and her skirt danced with the breeze, but it couldn't enter Xu Yang's heart.

  When he came down from the jade swing, he felt a strong gaze staring at him. He looked around, but found that the gaze was gone. He couldn't tell whether it was an unintentional glance from someone superior or someone deliberately...

  "Your Majesty, it is an honor to have you visit my humble abode at this hour." Duke Dingguo was a veteran of three dynasties, and although he usually excused himself from attending court due to poor health, his status demanded respect. Zhu Jingxuan paid his respects first, while Duke Dingguo merely nodded in acknowledgement towards Xu Rong.

  Xu Yong hurriedly took two steps forward and helped Ding Guo up, saying: "My imperial guard is currently ill at home, so I naturally have to come take a look."

  "Ah, Xiao Feng that rebellious son usually causes the Emperor a lot of trouble. I must thank Your Majesty for taking care of my son." Duke Dingguo let out a long sigh.

  "Xiao Feng has helped me a lot, this little bit doesn't count as anything." Xū Róng was welcomed in by Dìng Guó Hòu, the two of them speaking word for word.

  "Your Majesty, please follow me to the main hall and sit down. I will send someone to summon Feng'er." Ding Guo Hou deliberately delayed, leading Xiang Rong towards the direction of the main hall, while waving his hand to let the servant go and report the news.

  "It's not necessary, if it's because of loneliness that the Xiao wind is hurt again and again, my heart can't bear it." Xū Róng raised an eyebrow in disapproval of Ding Guo Hou's proposal.

  Ding Guohou had known long ago that Xun Youzi would not be willing, and this move of his was just a probe, dragging things out to buy time.

  A head poked out from around the corner, nodded at him, and Ding Guo Gong's body turned, "Your Majesty is so considerate, it's really a blessing for me, this way."

  Xu Rong was led to Fengyuan while Xu Yang rushed towards the imperial palace.

  After being sent back to Xiyuan Palace by Li Gonggong, Chulian suddenly found that she had already sweated a thin layer all over her body. "Order the servants to prepare my bath."

  The red petals floated on the clear stream, and Chu Lian seemed to have submerged herself in the water, only then could she calm down her complicated thoughts. With a splash, the beauty emerged from her bath, but when she saw the figure that had suddenly fallen into her room, she almost cried out.

  That figure was also extremely embarrassed, with wide eyes staring at small eyes. When he saw Chu Lianruo suddenly dive into the water, he quickly turned around and said, "I just have some concerns... I didn't expect you to be here... taking a bath." His ears were bright red, and if he had turned his face around at that moment, it would have been completely red. Chu Lianruo couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the man's incoherent words.
