In a short while, the guard who went to check the dungeon hurried back.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Xiang's figure was not found within the prison."

What

Fu Shangyuan's eyes darkened.

Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu exchanged glances, they really ran away.

Given Yuan Buyu's character, there's no way he would just sit idly in prison waiting for death.

Now that he had run off, Fu Shangyuan was in a predicament. Yuan Buyu, when serving as chancellor, held onto many state secrets and occupied a powerful position.

Although he was prepared to bring him down and had already found the appropriate official to take over Yuan Buyu's previous duties, executing him meant that he and all his secrets would be gone forever.

If you run, that's a headache.

If he defects to another country with all the secrets of the Da Xi court, it would be a disaster for Da Xi.

Fu Shangyuan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zong Yu who gritted his teeth, the killing intent in his eyes dissipating.

Fang Jinshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yuan Buyu's escape had inadvertently saved Zong Yu's life.

At least for now, Da Xi still needed him. Fu Shangyuan didn't have many people he could rely on. If he killed A Yu, the morale of the army and the precarious balance of the court would surely be shaken again.

He can't kill Zongyu now, unless Emperor Fu Shangyuan wants to abdicate and watch Daxixi be destroyed with his own eyes.

"Issue the order, mobilize all forces to hunt down Yuan Buyu. From today onwards, he is no longer the chancellor but a traitor on the run."

Once his whereabouts are found, he will be killed without mercy!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guardsmen left with the warrant.

Fu Shangyuan looked back at Zongyu and his wife. Dong'er seemed to feel the change in the atmosphere, staring at her father hopefully.

"Come, escort the Prince back to the palace first."

"Your question, I will settle with you later." He stared at Dong'er with a sullen expression.

Dong'er knew that his father shouldn't lay a hand on his foster parents again, but he also knew that his actions had thoroughly enraged his father. Their relationship as father and son was probably beyond repair.

At this point, he didn't dare to further anger Fu Shangyuan. He lowered his eyes and performed a courteous farewell gesture, then followed the eunuch out.

"Your Majesty, if you wish to find Yuan Buyu, pursuing him westward towards Xixia might yield results."

Fang Jinxiu thought about it and still spoke to remind Fu Shangyuan.

Their family didn't have much of a grudge against Fu Shangyuan. It was just because of Ah Yu's identity, their stance was somewhat awkward.

But these are nothing to worry about. Time will tell, and in the end Fu Shangyuan will understand that Zong Yu will never be his opponent, nor will he come to vie for his throne.

She wouldn't care if Ayou became emperor or not. It's a tiring job, and he has to be with many women. She's not interested in sharing a husband with so many other women.

Fu Shangyuan was very surprised. Just now, he truly had murderous intentions towards Zong Yu, and even Fang Jinshi, he didn't want to let go. Now she was actually kindly reminding him

"Don't you hate me"

Fang Jinshi let out a sneer. "What do I hate about you doing that"

As an emperor, it's understandable that you would want to eliminate any threats to your position. Ayou's identity is certainly something to be wary of.

But we, have never been afraid of you.

She tilted her head back, confident in the space behind her, never truly afraid.

Fu Shangyuan was deeply shocked. Fang Jinshi said she wasn't afraid of him, and from her expression, it didn't seem like she was pretending to be calm.

Could she really still have a trump card up her sleeve

Suddenly, Fu Shangyuan felt a chill run down his spine. He knew how fiercely Fang Jinshi protected her loved ones. If he had actually killed Zong Yu today, he would have gotten himself into big trouble too.

He narrowed his eyes, pondering something deep within.

Dong'er had lived with this couple at the clan home for so long, that boy must know something he hadn't told us.

It seems that his father, in the eyes of his son, is no match for outsiders. A hint of self-deprecation flashed across Fu Shangyuan's eyes, but it vanished quickly.

"If Da Xi perishes, your parents will also cease to exist. A destroyed nest offers no safety for its eggs. This truth should be clear to all of you."

"If Yuan Buyu truly took the secrets of our Great Xi court and defected to Xixia, Great Xi would probably face a bitter war."

At this time, Zongyu stepped forward without hesitation.

"I am willing to go into battle."

Fu Shangyuan was deeply moved. He didn't expect that after what had just happened, Zong Yu still remained unmoved. Could it be that he truly didn't care about this supreme power

"You've thought this through, this battle will be hard, and you could die."

Suddenly, Zong Yu's lips twitched upwards, and he actually smiled during this serious moment.

Fu Shangyuan was taken aback, and even Fang Jinxiu hadn't expected that Ayu would still be able to laugh in such an atmosphere.

"Once on the battlefield, all warriors are prepared to sacrifice themselves at any moment."

"If one does not even possess this awareness, how can they possibly take to the battlefield and fight"

Fu Shangyuan's eyes trembled, then his expression changed, becoming serious as he nodded.

He and Zong Yu were brothers from the same lineage. Fu Shangyu's fear of him stemmed directly from his confidence in his abilities.

If Zong Yu truly has no ambition for power and is willing to be used, then that would be the best outcome.

He turned his eyes to Fang Jinshu standing beside him, and made a decision in his heart.

It's really hard to trust someone, except for himself, no one can easily be trusted.

"Well, I can spare you your title of Marquis Wuding, forgetting past grievances."

As for military power, Fu Shangyuan hesitated again. If Zong Yu took control of the army and turned against Daxi to ally with Xixia, then Daxi would be utterly defenseless and could only wait for annihilation.

He still hesitated for a moment, and could only bet that Fang Jinshui's weight in his heart was heavy enough.

"As for military power, I can give that to you as well."

If this battle can repulse the Xixia and bring great peace to the Xi'an region, I can grant you one wish.

Is Fu Shangyuan finally revealing A Yu's identity After all, who would want to be constantly hunted by a country's emperor, forced to live in exile with their entire family

It's always best to get along peacefully.

"Your Majesty is telling the truth" Fang Jinshu was very excited.

Fu Shangyuan said, "I am the emperor, my word is law, and a promise made is a promise kept."

Zong Yu immediately nodded, "Good, Your Majesty please keep your promise today, Zong Yu will definitely do his best to return in triumph."

"I don't want your empire, this battle is fought for the tens of millions of people in Daxia."

Fu Shangyuan nodded and then said, "No matter what you fight for, I can't hand over the military power to you directly."

"Unless."

He looked at Fang Jinshi, "All the members of the clan must remain in the palace."

"Including her."

"If you harbor traitorous thoughts and betray me, they shall pay the price for your ambition and treachery."

Zong Yu's expression instantly turned cold, a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty wants to keep our whole family under house arrest"

Fang Jinshu giggled and said, "Not impossible."

Fu Shangyuan was a little surprised. According to Fang Jinshi's character, how could she be so well-behaved

But he still continued to speak.

"It is indeed house arrest, but if you truly mean what you say and have no other intentions towards me, wholeheartedly pledging your allegiance, I brought them into the palace to protect the entire clan."ho was fighting more and more fiercely in the hall.
