Xiao Jiu'an hugged Ji Yunkai as she slept soundly, but this made Xiao Shaorong extremely depressed.

Xiao Shaorong had thought that after the Prince's bath, they would continue to discuss business. However, when he returned back, her guards told him that the Prince had returned to the main tent to sleep.

Although it's no longer early, the matters of today are not yet settled. Is it really alright for the prince to go to bed so early?

The personal guard was silent. He lowered his head and did not speak a word.

They had clearly reminded him that the wangfei was with them, while the wangfei was with them!

Xiao Shaorong returned to her camp with a nervous and uneasy heart. However, when she thought that the Duke might have heard his complaints, he couldn't fall asleep.

After a night of tossing and turning, he only slept for less than four hours. Seeing that it was already dawn, Xiao Shaorong woke up early, but he was not in a good mental state.

After running for fifteen kilometers on the mountain road with his soldiers, Xiao Shaorong had already recovered most of his spirit. After returning to his tent to pack up, he prepared to go eat, but before he had taken two steps, he saw Xiao Jiu'an's personal guard come over: "Vice General Xiao, His Highness has invited you."

"Alright." Since the Prince had invited him, Xiao Shaorong could not bother to eat breakfast anymore, and quickly went to the tent to discuss the matter.

Today, Xiao Jiu'an was wearing a military uniform and sitting at the head. She gave off an indescribably mighty and domineering aura, but Xiao Shaorong somehow felt uneasy.

Unless it was on the battlefield, the prince would rarely wear a military uniform, and since it was too heavy, it would be difficult to move.

It was unusual for him to wear a military uniform.

"Your Highness..." Thinking about what happened last night, Xiao Shaorong felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

"From now on, the Emperor will not rule the dynasty?" Not hanging Xiao Shaorong for long, the moment Xiao Jiu'an opened her mouth, she repeated what Xiao Shaorong had said last night.

"Prince, this is a misunderstanding, I can explain." Xiao Shaorong knew that this would happen and immediately started crying.

His mouth was cheap, he had just said that last night, how could the prince have heard it?

"It is indeed a misunderstanding. This King is not the king, so there is no need for the morning assembly." Xiao Jiu'an did not give Xiao Shaorong the chance to explain, as he stopped him in her tracks with a cold tone.

Hearing that, Xiao Shaorong knew that the King was serious, she immediately saluted and stood straight: "Your Highness, this humble general knows his wrongs, please punish me."

"Go and get the ten military batons. This King does not wish for another one." He did not want the people in the army to treat Ji Yunkai as a bane. He even more so, did not want others to think that he was related to Ji Yunkai, that he was not desperately trying to get involved with public affairs like before.

Although this was the truth, he still wouldn't allow others to speak of it.

As for why the punishment for hitting the Ten Military Staff was so light?

Naturally, he was afraid of breaking someone's heart. Who would work for him? If no one did anything for him, how could he not go to court earlier?

"General, punishment." It had only been ten sticks, and it had allowed Xiao Shaorong to heave a sigh of relief.

After the punishment was over, Xiao Jiu'an started talking about official matters? "Speak, what's the matter?"

"Cough cough …" Xiao Shaorong cleared her throat and said, "My prince, the Mu, Ye, and Chu Families gave a reply."

"Oh? What did you say? " Not everyone would dare to agree to his invitation to invite these three clans. After all, even though the Emperor had made his move, he had not been ruthless enough to kill them all, nor had he made his move against the Ye and Mu Clans.

Moreover, it was now clear that he wanted to fight against the emperor. With him diverting the emperor's attention away, the emperor would definitely not act against the Ye and Mu families.

This was politics, this was allies.

There were no eternal allies, only eternal interests. For one's own interests, abandoning an ally was normal, just like Beichen Tianque abandoning Feng Ning.

"The Chu Clan gave a definite answer and said that they would definitely attend. Ye family and Mu family both rejected it because they were not feeling well. " Xiao Shaorong said with a tinge of anger.

When he begged the prince for help previously, why didn't his body feel any discomfort?

And now, seeing that the crisis had been resolved, he felt unwell?

How shameless.

The matter was completely as he had expected, and Xiao Jiu'an was not surprised in the slightest.

He hadn't thought that the Mu and Ye Families would all side with him. If he were to capture both the Mu and Ye Families, what need would he have to fight the Emperor? The Emperor simply had no power to fight back.

With the Chu Clan making it clear that they wanted him, that was enough.

At the very least, it proved that Ji Yunkai and him were not mistaken and had not saved the wrong person.

"I'll go arrange it right away." Xiao Shaorong saw that Xiao Jiu'an was not angry at all, and the discontent in her heart disappeared.

The Ye and Mu Families have already climbed to the highest position of a martial general, and the Emperor has always treated them well, but has also never taken any action against them. It is normal for them not to want to turn their backs on the Emperor.

Fortunately, there was also the Chu Clan. With the support of the Chu Clan and their Xiao Family, the prince could be considered to have allies within the imperial court.

As a person, he couldn't be too greedy.

Xiao Shaorong turned around and went to settle the matter of the feast with the Chu Family's butler. As for the Ye and Mu Families?

Originally, Xiao Shaorong wanted to give them a look, but seeing that Xiao Jiu'an was not bothered, he gave up on that idea.

He was very busy right now, but he didn't have the leisure to care about others who didn't matter.

Ye and Mu families thought that if they rejected Xiao Jiu'an, they would receive revenge from the Prince Yanbei's Mansion. However, after waiting for a few days and seeing that the Prince Yanbei's Mansion did not make a move, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"As long as Prince Yanbei doesn't mind, then this matter … Indeed, this old man has let him down. " General Ye looked ashamed, but he did not waver in his decision.

The Emperor was obviously not at odds with the Prince Yanbei, but the risk of going against him was too high, so he did not want to take the risk.

General Mu's thoughts were similar to General Ye's, it was just that he was not as ashamed as General Ye. He was more dissatisfied with Xiao Jiu'an's actions of forcing people.

"You want me to show you what I'm capable of under the Emperor's watch? Prince Yanbei is making things difficult for you, can't he just keep a lower profile?"

If he kept a low profile, he would be willing to interact with the Yan Bei Manor. After all, the Emperor had already dealt with the Chu Clan's opponents, and it would be hard to say whether he would make a move against the Mu Clan in the future.

In other words, General Mu wanted to be a fence-sitter, but it was a pity that Xiao Jiu'an didn't need such a person …
