Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent and Xiao Ruo's handsome face appeared in front of the tent. He walked in and cupped his hands, "Your Royal Highness, what instructions do you have for me?"

Tang Xiaotang looked at Xiao Ruo. This person was not simple. She could see through Xiao Ruo's thoughts. He did not pursue fame and fortune, he only wanted to follow a true ranker and achieve something. He only wanted to prove himself.

Such talents were the hardest to control because they were not loyal, nor did they have a high bottom line. They only submitted to the strong. If they met someone even stronger, it would be very easy for them to turn their backs on their original master.

"Tang Tang, do you think This King can trust him?" Ye Yuming asked Tang Xiaotang.

"Sure, as long as there's no one stronger than you in this world." However, to Ye Yuming, Xiao Ruo was a very suitable advisor. His intelligence was definitely higher than Ye Yuming's, and even if he did not go all-out, he would still be able to solve many problems for him.

However, if Ye Yuming were to make him submit completely, it would probably be a waste of his strength.

"This King is somewhat unable to see through this person. What if he were to betray This King?" Tang Xiaotang understood Ye Yuming's suspicions, and knew that Xiao Ruo's voluntary surrender earlier had probably buried the suspicions in his heart.

"Worse comes to worst, you can just kill him when the time comes. It's not like he knows any martial arts." In the past, Xiao Ruo was killed by Ye Yuming. At that time, Ye Yuming had already fallen into his trap, but at the critical moment, because he was a weak scholar who did not know any martial arts, he was killed by the strong Ye Yuming in one strike.

So this tells us not to think that simple brains are easy to deal with. In fact, in the face of absolute power, no matter how intelligent or nimble one was, one wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from a well-developed body.

"You're right." Ye Yuming felt relieved after thinking about it. Although he did not lack strategists, Xiao Ruo was clearly not on the same level as them. Besides, the more strategists, the better!

"Xiao Ruo, you have voluntarily followed this king, do you have any requests? As long as it's within the scope This King can accept, This King will promise you that. " Ye Yuming looked down at the man below and asked softly.

"If helping Your Highness is not a promise, but if there is only one request, would Your Highness agree to it?" Xiao Ruo bowed once more.

"Go ahead." Ye Yuming suddenly had a bad feeling.

"If I want to ask you, your highness, to bestow your face to Ruo Ruo, that is the only thing I want." Xiao Ruo raised his head and looked straight into Ye Yuming's eyes. His eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth were raised. However, this caused Ye Yuming's eyes to become cold, and a cold aura to surge out from within.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Tang Xiaotang was a little shocked, she never thought that there would actually be someone who could see her existence, this Xiao Ruo was truly not simple.

Xiao Ruo still maintained his light smile, as if he didn't care in the slightest.

After a long while, Ye Yuming finally replied in a cold and bland voice, "This king cannot agree to this matter. If you have any other requests, feel free to bring them up, even if you want to pay respects to the Prime Minister."

Xiao Ruo suddenly laughed: "If it's just a joke, please calm your anger Your Highness. If you are willing to serve the prince with all your might, do not ask for any fame or fortune. "

"Don't worry, This King will definitely not treat you unfairly." Ye Yuming waved his sleeves, signalling for him to leave.

Xiao Ruo clasped his hands again, then turned and left.

"What do you think Xiao Ruo is thinking? Can he see you? " Looking at Xiao Ruo's leaving figure, Ye Yuming quietly asked.

"Perhaps. In short, this person is not simple." Why do you disapprove of his demands? In any case, using a mask in exchange for a strategist; isn't that worth it? " Tang Xiaotang did not mind, after all, she would be leaving after completing the mission. At that time, there would only be a mask left, so what if she gave it to him?

"Don't even think about it! You are This King's! " Ye Yuming's face suddenly darkened, and his tone of voice made Tang Xiaotang jump.

"Thou art mine, what are you shouting for, give me a fright!" Tang Xiaotang rolled her eyes in annoyance, but the feeling of being valued still made her very happy.

It seemed that he cared a lot about her. This way, she would be able to eat more after the mission was completed!

However, since he cared so much about her, she might as well spend some time with him!

The situation in the capital became more and more serious. Yesterday at court, the emperor had ordered dozens of ministers to be beheaded. This was because they were being led by the eunuchs, led by the eunuchs, to harm the country.

Even though they knew that it was all because of Eunuch An, there was nothing they could do. Yesterday, more than ten officials had knelt outside the emperor's chambers, begging him to retract his order. However, even after kneeling for eight hours, they still could not find a trace of him.

There were even rumors in the palace that the emperor was in a state of unconsciousness, and that An Qing's men had surrounded the palace so that not even a drop of water could leak out.

The next day, the officials were dismissed from their posts and went home to reflect.

The emperor was severely ill, and the fate of Pluto was unknown. The officials either died or left the palace. For a time, the eunuchs were in the limelight, and no one dared to offend them. Especially after what they said, no one dared to say anything to them.

The only good news was that after a month, Deputy General Xiao Ruo had brought the army back to the capital. This was the first time that anyone would be so happy if they could obtain such a great victory in their battle with Yi Clan.

Except Feng Luanqing.

She knew that Xiao Ruo was one of Ye Yuxiu's men, but this time, he even brought eighty thousand troops back to the capital. Although she held most of the imperial government, she did not have much military power. If he could guess that Ye Yuxiu's illness was not simple, wouldn't her plan be unable to succeed?

A strange light flashed in Feng Luanqing's eyes, so she simply decided to push everything to Ye Yuming, and use this to rope Xiao Ruo in. It's fine if he agrees, but if he doesn't agree … Let him die on the way back to the city!

As for Ye Yuxiu, letting him live for so long, was already useless now, he should go and die!

The next day, the Emperor gave another order. Not only were the Feng Family reversed, the officials were also restored to their original positions, including the already crippled Empress Feng Luanqing. They also removed all the officials who had impeached the Feng Family from prison. After that, Feng Family appeared out of nowhere and became the Prime Minister with authority over the entire country, gaining even more power and influence than before.

This action had thoroughly chilled the hearts of many ministers. Other than the disciples of Prime Minister Feng who were being promoted, all the other ministers had all gone home sick. Ye Yuming and Hua Yi had so easily won over all these people who were completely disappointed in Ye Yuxiu.

After a dozen more days, Ye Yuxiu was still unable to hold on and died in front of the Soaring Dragon Palace.

The late emperor's only sons were Ye Yuxiu and Ye Yuming, and right now, both of them were dead without any descendants left behind. Just when everyone was worrying about the heir of the late emperor, the long dead Queen Feng Luanqing appeared in front of them as if she had revived from the dead, and she was even carrying a child who had just reached the full moon. In her hand, she held an imperial edict that was said to be the final decree of the Emperor. She passed the throne down to the 'prince' Ye Qinglan, who had just reached the full moon.

Everyone knew what the child in her arms was, but no one objected under the power of the Feng Family. Feng Luanqing smoothly pushed the puppet onto the throne.
