Xu Yixing held his forehead with his hand. This must be God's will, right? Such a coincidence could even allow Lu Anyuan to bump into him. It must be God's will that he found himself!

"I understand. Faking your own death to escape was not part of your plan. It was all because of me... But was your injury also part of the plan? Do you really not value your own life?"

When mentioning this, Lu Anyuan's eyes became evasive: "There is no perfect plan when sending troops to fight. Naturally, we must be prepared to die on the battlefield. But fortunately, I still found you, and Xiaobao, you don't know how happy I am!" Lu Anyuan openly held Yixing's hand and placed it on his heart, as if every beat of its hand represented his emotions.

"So has your grand plan been realized now?" Until Xu Yixing left the royal court, she was still unclear about the war in the front. Apart from knowing that Lu Anyuan had arranged a fake death scene, she still didn't know whether the Great Xia Royal Army had really eliminated Yingli Khan as smoothly as Lu Anyuan had planned.

"In order to keep my whereabouts hidden, I faked my death in a fight with Yingli Khan and cut off contact with the outside world. I don't know the details." Lu Anyuan paused, then smiled: "But you see that we have been traveling so smoothly on the grassland these days, and we haven't encountered any Hu people chasing us. That means Ren Shaozhou and Gu Du have done a good job. At least they have tied down Yingli's troops."

Xu Yixing thought it made sense, and in his heart he praised Lu Anyuan for his sharp vision, but his face remained calm. "So, after this battle, the Hu people will be unable to resist Daxia for at least a period of time. You can be considered a good emperor who loves the people."

"Thank you, thank you. That's why I said I've had enough of being an emperor. Who cares what happens in the future?"

After listening to him, Xu Yixing felt a lot more relieved. He just turned his head to look at the desolate and cold grassland outside the window. In a dozen days, he would be able to leave here and return to Daxia. However, it was probably the first time in all dynasties that there was a fool like Lu Anyuan who gave up the throne.

"Then, when you die, how will you deal with your afterlife?"

When Lu Anyuan heard her ask this, his face froze: "Do you want Xiaobao to be the emperor?"

"How is that possible? When a young emperor ascends the throne, his relatives will definitely control the government. Xiaobao is our own son, don't try to take advantage of him!"

"I never thought of letting a child like him endure all this. You think too badly of me." Hearing that Xu Yixing had no such intention, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if those people with ulterior motives in the court really knew about Xiaobao's existence, it would be a fatal disaster.

"Don't worry, since I have decided to step down, I will naturally plan everything for us. The emperor led the army in person but unfortunately died, and left a will asking the prince of Yan to succeed his brother. When the queen heard the news, she was buried with the emperor. Although she did not leave blood for the royal family, it shows the deep love between the couple. In addition, the queen mother was heartbroken when she learned of the emperor's death, and she will not live long. This is something that all the subjects in the world will know."

Lu Anyuan told his plan as if he was making up a story, which made Xu Yixing stunned. However, he burst out laughing when he heard the words about the deep love between the emperor and the empress. He was really a boaster, even though he was going to die, he still had to flatter himself.

"So you plan to make the fourth prince Lu Hexin the new emperor. But didn't you always say that he was meticulous? Aren't you afraid that he would find out the truth about your fake death and send someone to kill you? And the Queen Mother, are you not going to let her go?"

"He Xin is the most like me. He is a smart man. As for the pursuit you mentioned, you can rest assured. He will only set up the situation for my death more perfectly and fill in the gaps for me. I also have enough means to contain him.

As for the Queen Mother, my mother's death was ultimately due to her, and only if I get rid of the Queen Mother, can He Xin sit on the throne of the emperor with greater peace of mind. I have done so much for him, getting rid of the Queen Mother and the Hu people who posed the greatest threat, and he has no choice but to appreciate my kindness."

“How can he trust you?”

"I have already sent someone to deliver the Emperor's Sword and the Imperial Edict to his fiefdom. I estimate that when the news of my death is passed back, he will be able to arrive in the capital. It will be a natural thing."

"Ah..." It turned out to be the Emperor's Sword, a symbol of the emperor, which was finally delivered to the rightful owner. "By the way, Yingba said he had seen the Eagle Flying Wolf Head Sword, is that true?"

"Haha, of course, that was something Gu Du specifically mortgaged to me in order to borrow soldiers. It's absolutely genuine." Lu Anyuan was quite proud. When he got the knife from Gu Du, he knew that the plan was accomplished, and all he had to do next was wait for them to fight each other.

"Alas..." After listening to such a long story, President Xu Yixing let out a long sigh. Being a queen to this extent, she had no regrets.

"What's the matter? Are you reluctant to give up your wealth and glory?"

Xu Yixing moved away from Lu Anyuan's legs and sat on the side of the car, because she could feel the changes in Lu Anyuan's body. What a pervert, he was so sick and still thinking about that, huh. Lu Anyuan was a little embarrassed, and reached out to pull the quilt over his legs: "That's not what I meant, I mean..."

"Where are we going next?" Xu Yixing interrupted. As a patient, he was powerless and why should he care about this?

"I'll listen to you. You can decide where to go." The world is so big, and it's finally time for him to go out and experience it. How can he not be happy?

"Then, let's go to Jiangnan. I've been in the North for too long, and I want to go somewhere warmer. If Jiangnan isn't good, we can move to another place. But do you have money? What about those people outside? And after you and I fake our deaths, there will definitely be no income from fiefdoms and shops. Can we survive?"

"Don't worry, I was once an emperor, how can I be without money? When we get to Jiangnan, we will change our names and do business just fine. It's no big deal. As for the people outside, they are people I trust, so they will follow me. We also need people to look after our house and serve us, what do you think?"

"Well, then I want to be a landlord's wife, with three meals a day, six meals a day, gold servants and silver maids, nothing can be missing."

"Alright my lady! Hahahahaha..."

The sound in the carriage flew back and forth. Ah Da heard it, and Ah Er heard it too. However, it spread a little further away and was swept away by the whistling wind, and dissipated in the vast white snow.

As Lu Anyuan's health improved, the entire cavalry's marching speed increased a lot. The original journey of nearly 20 days was compressed to 15 days, and they finally arrived at the official road to Pingyun Pass in mid-November.

Xu Yixing and Lu Anyuan were in the carriage, holding Xiaobao and laughing, while discussing the route after entering the customs, and were very eager for the new life that was about to come. When they were approaching the customs, the carriage shook and stopped on the road, and Xia Xiao's warning voice came from outside the car.
