I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 502

Chapter 502

“After the Emperor dies, I can build the capital wherever I want. There are many cities in the world, but I don’t know how many lives Ye Luji has. Plus, I don’t know whether Empress Dowager Xiao can give birth to another little son.”
The messenger was finally so angry that he spun around and left, cursing in a fit of rage.
After the messenger left, the Deputy General silently wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, “Your Highness, for the sake of the overall situation, you deliberately said these words to force Ye Luyan to abandon the siege. However, if the news reaches the capital, I am afraid that His Majesty and the court will think too much about it.”
Xie Xuanchen still looked unconcerned, “As long as my conscience is clear, it doesn’t matter.”
In fact, what he thought was that the Emperor should definitely think more about it because what he just said was true.
If the Qins lost its deer, the whole world would chase after it(1). That position was always occupied by those who are capable.
(T/N: A metaphor to explain that when a leader is lost, there will always be those who have the ability who strive to take the position for themselves)
If Xie Rui didn’t have the ability, then he should abdicate and make way for others.
The Deputy General didn’t know the truth. He was very impressed by Xie Xuanchen’s words and immediately knelt down to show his loyalty. Before the DeputyGeneral could finish speaking his heartfelt words of loyalty, he noticed Prince An standing up and looking like he was about to walk out.
The Deputy General’s words were stuck in his throat as he asked, “Your Highness, where are you going?”
“I have other matters to attend to,” Xie Xuanchen strode out and said, “If there’s nothing important, you can just leave.”
The Deputy General thought that it made sense. In order to scare Ye Luyan’s men away, Xie Xuanchen deliberately acted like he didn’t care about the Emperor’s life. Xie Xuanchen naturally had a clear conscience, but since ancient times, the Emperor’s heart always remained unpredictable. It only took one moment for them to become paranoid of the power they might lose, so Xie Xuanchen had to do some thinking for himself. Now that he was leaving, Xie Xuanchen was probably thinking about how to handle the situation.
The Deputy General consciously understood Xie Xuanchen’s intentions and was both immediately respectful and ashamed as he completely admired him.
However, at this moment, Xie Xuanchen, someone who the Deputy General thought was willing to sacrifice himself for his Emperor, went straight back to the backyard. The servant outside the main room bowed her head when she saw him. Xie Xuanchen stopped at the door and asked, “Is the Princess inside?”
“Yes.”
Xie Xuanchen nodded. He was about to go in, but felt inexplicably weak. He stopped to collect himself and asked, “What is the Princess doing now? How is she feeling?”
The servant shook her head, “I don’t know. Her Highness went to the study as soon as she woke up and she hasn’t come out yet.”
Xie Xuanchen felt like he was in a miserable state just by listening to her words, but he bravely entered the room. When the servants inside saw him, they all greeted him, “Your Highness.”
Xie Xuanchen nodded as he pretended to put on the stature of a general and said, “All of you can leave.”
The servants obeyed and filed out. After everyone left, Xie Xuanchen immediately walked to the east room without any burden and hugged Mu Mingtang tightly, “Tangtang, what are you reading?”
