I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 506

Xie Xuanchen was puzzled. If he was in a bad mood, then those who would encounter him during that time would be in an even worse mood, which leads us to Ye Luyan, who was unwilling to withdraw his troops as he tried to drive a wedge between Xie Xuanchen and the Emperor. He had his men spread rumours in the capital that Xie Xuanchen had turned back and deliberately delayed the opportunity to prevent the Emperor from being rescued.

When Xie Xuanchen heard this, he immediately cut off a small portion of Ye Luji’s hair with his sword and a belonging of his. Then, he gave both of them to Empress Dowager Xiao as a gift.

There was still blood on the hair, so one could imagine that if Xie Xuanchen swung his sword inaccurately even by the slightest inch, Yeluji’s head would fall off.

There were still no replies from Beirong after an amount of time. Xie Xuanchen sent another little finger to Empress Dowager Xiao and thoughtfully attached a letter, saying that he was grateful for the Empress Dowager’s longing for her son. If Ye Luyan did not retreat, he would cut off one of Ye Luji’s fingers every day. With that, it wouldn’t be long before all of his fingers would be collected and sent to the Empress Dowager all at one go.

Finally, Xie Xuanchen mentioned very absent-mindedly that Ye Luyan was constantly sending his men to provoke him. This action made Xie Xuanchen believe that it was almost as if the Beirong people wanted him to kill Ye Luji.

Where the signature was signed, there was Ye Luji’s bloody handprint.

Who wouldn’t know how to play a divisive game? The outcome of the game depended on whose situation was more fatal.

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t bear it anymore and immediately ordered Ye Luyan to withdraw his troops.

With Xie Xuanchen in the Ye Dynasty, even if Ye Luyan really killed the Emperor, the bloodshed would only be used to craft Xie Xuanchen’s wedding robe. After all, it would give Xie Xuanchen a chance to legitimately succeed to the throne. Seeing that this conquest had failed, it was better to withdraw the troops and leave the royal uncle and nephew to fight for the throne internally.

When two tigers fight each other, one of them would most definitely be injured. Beirong could wait patiently and when the time came, they would be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen. On the contrary, it was her youngest son who had no room for even the slightest bit of error.

After receiving the order from Empress Dowager Xiao, Ye Luyan was so angry that he started beating his chest. Even so, the orders that she sent came flowing one after another. Ye Luyan was more than willing to disregard the matter of his uncle’s life and death, but she did not dare to disobey Empress Dowager Xiao.

He retreated with hatred and before leaving, his eyes bore holes into the capital with bloodthirsty unwillingness.

Xie Xuanchen would not give Ye Luyan a chance to renege on his promise. Hence, he brought Ye Luji along and waited at the border. After Ye Luyan’s army arrived, the two armies faced each other. Ye Luyan released the captive soldiers of the Ye Dynasty and Xie Xuanchen also cut off the ropes with his own hands, allowing Ye Luji to leave.

The archers on both sides were ready to attack as there was nothing but silence in front of their respective formations. Everyone watched as Ye Luji started walking towards the opposite side.
