Chapter 126: Into the palace and better use the Imperial Uncle’s wife
Inside the house, Lin Chujiu and her four maidservants are still talking. But, Xiao Tianyao could no longer hear them. All he knows is that he’s feeling very uncomfortable. He felt like he acquired a heart disease.
Xiao Tianyao doesn’t know how long he stayed in front of the door. But, when he finally calms down, he notices that the house has already become quiet. And he heard Zhenzhu was helping Lin Chujiu to go to bed, and so… …
He no longer goes inside and just ordered his people to go back.

Back to the study room. Even though it was already late, Xiao Tianyao ordered Su Cha and Liu Bai to come. And when they arrived, he said with closed eyes: “Go and leak some news to the Northern Country.”
The Northern Country is full of snow. So, they only have very few resources. And because of that, they’ve been eyeing the Eastern Country’s abundant resources. But because of Xiao Tianyao, the G.o.d of War, they didn’t dare to attack the Eastern Country.
And in this two years, the Northern Country was only relying on Southern and Western Countries’ resources to live. But because the Southern and Western Countries’ resources were limited. Every year, there were many northern old people and women that die due to famine.
So, if the Northern Country will receive a news that Xiao Tianyao became a waste and can no longer lead his army. And his troops are now in the hands of the emperor. They will no longer hesitate to attack the Eastern Country. They will now have a prosperous winter.
And once the Northern Country attacks the Eastern Country. The Emperor would no longer have the energy to suppressed Xiao Tianyao. Of course, that is not the most important issue, the most important issue is that Northern Country’s soldiers are brave and experienced. And aside from Xiao Tianyao’s soldiers, no one else can defeat them.
At that time too, to save his country, the emperor had sent Xiao Tianyao and his soldiers to fight them.
So, even though it is against the law, Su Cha and Liu Bai have raised this plan a long time ago to suppressed the emperor. But, Xiao Tianyao refused, because… …
Not only he’s the prince of the Eastern Country, he is also a general who leads the war. So, he knows how harmful the war is more than anyone. He actually doesn’t want to have a war, but the reality is forcing him to do so.
With the war, the officials won’t be able to rest.
With the war, the generals will have a great opportunity.
Seeing that Xiao Tianyao is finally determined, Liu Bai and Su Cha secretly felt relieved, but then Su Cha sighed and said: ” Tianyao, this move is not harmful, but rather beneficial to the people of Eastern Country. In these past few years, the Northern Country’s soldiers become a lot stronger. So, we need to lessen their strength. Because if we won’t, Eastern Country will suffer far greater in the future.”
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao still said with an expressionless face.
Once he got determined, he will not regret it no matter what. And even if his decision was wrong, he will still keep moving forward.
Su Cha and Liu Bai no longer say anything. Going off to war is not as easy as it may seem. The two of them need to prepare a lot of things. And it must be done as soon as possible so that the emperor’s suppression stops before he persecutes them.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t move away, he just continues sitting right there in the same place. And even when the candlelight in the room was blown out, Xiao Tianyao’s deep thought remain unknown… …

When Divine Doctor Mo and Mo Yuer stayed in the palace for a month. Third Prince Xiao Zian’s condition becomes more and more stable. Third Prince’s disease didn’t attack for the whole month. Because of this, Imperial Concubine Zhou was so grateful to Divine Doctor Mo. Mo Yuer’s beauty also added some points.
Many good things keep happening, so they didn’t forget to pay Mo Yuer a good attention and even hinted her, that as long as Third Prince Xiao Zian’s legs got healed. Her future will be limitless.
To say that her future will be limitless, it’s more likely that she’ll sit in the Phoenix chair. Mo Yuer understands Imperial Concubines Zhou’s hint, but she didn’t take it seriously.
The emperor had already chosen Xiao Tianrui as his crown prince at an early time. But, even if he died, the Empress still has the Seventh Prince. In the Eastern Country, the legitimate children are always in favored to sit on the throne, so even if the Third Prince is the emperor’s beloved son, he’ll never be the crown prince. An excellent example to that is the current emperor and Xiao Tianyao.
Xiao Tianyao was the late emperor’s favorite son. And because the late emperor deeply favored him, the late emperor was about to abolish the old law and make a new one. And if not for his old age and lack of energy, he might have succeeded in enforcing that law before he died. And if that happens, it’s clearly obvious who’s the person should be sitting on the throne.
However, even if the late emperor didn’t succeed in making Xiao Tianyao the crown prince. He gave Xiao Tianyao the military power. So, even if Xiao Tianyao has no parents at such a young age, he grew up peacefully. And because of this military power, he becomes a threat to the royal family.
Xiao Tianyao’s existence becomes the biggest shame of the current emperor. And that is also why the emperor hated him so deeply.

With the continued improvement of Third Prince Xiao Zian’s condition. The Emperor and Imperial Concubine Zhou believe that Divine Doctor Mo will be able to cure his legs. The Empress and the Crown Prince’s also believes in this.
However, the Empress and the Crown Prince doesn’t want Third Prince Xiao Zian‘s legs to recover. Because in the emperor’s eyes, only him exist. So, if he will recover and will be able to walk in the future. The Empress and the Crown Prince’s future will be hard to predict.
In order to make Xiao Tianyao the crown prince, the late emperor decided to the abolish the old law and make a new one. So, there is no guarantee that the current emperor wouldn’t do the same.
“We mustn’t let Divine Doctor Mo cure his legs.” The Empress meaning is self-evident.
The Crown Prince also think the same, so he said: “To solve this matter, we must start with Divine Doctor Mo.”
The Crown Prince’s eyes flashed. Just by looking, the Empress was able to understand his words, so she immediately said: “Keep it only to your mind. Your father has been guarding them strictly recently. If he learns it was you, even I won’t be able to protect you.” The Empress doesn’t want him to be abandoned.
When the emperor was still young, the crown prince was always in his eyes.
After hearing the empress words, the crown prince immediately puts aside his ideas and respectfully said: “Er Chen understand. Muqing (imperial mother) please rest a.s.sured.”
Although the Crown Prince always has bad ideas. He is a very obedient son. He always listens to the empress no matter what she says.
The Empress nodded her head in satisfaction, then she smiles gracefully and said: “It’s been a long time since Wanting had visited the palace. The palace misses her so much. Why don’t you pick and accompany her in the palace?”
Girls have common languages. So it means, Lin Wanting will be the scapegoat.
The Crown Prince is not stupid. He grew up in the palace, so why he wouldn’t understand it? So, the Crown Prince reluctantly said: “Muqing, Wanting doesn’t understand this kind of thing. Prime Minister Lin also doesn’t want her to get involved in this stuff.” Lin Wanting is so kind, so why must she get involved in this dirty thing? “Muqing, why don’t we use Lin Chujiu instead? She and Mo Yuer are close, so she wouldn’t have a hard time to get close to her.”
The Empress’s eyes almost rolled with his words, but then, she tried to be patient and said: “Silly boy, Wanting doesn’t understand anything, so the people won’t put a guard on her. She is the Crown Princess. You can’t just protect her for the rest of her life, right? She must also do something.”
In the Empress point of view, Lin Wanting is not as innocent as she looks. She successfully took away her sister’s marriage. It’s not an easy task, right?
“Wouldn’t using Lin Chujiu is still much better?” The Crown Prince hesitantly said. But, the Empress still got angry: “You ah! Lin Chujiu is your imperial aunt. You cannot just summon her to enter the palace. And it’s not like she can leave the Xiao w.a.n.gfu anytime.”
In the royal family, without the emperor’s words or imperial decree. They cannot just summon the emperor’s younger brother’s wife. And although she used Lin Chujiu before, she doesn’t want to kill her… …
