Three months later, Zong Yu suddenly received news that the Western Xia army was temporarily withdrawing.

The Western Xia King had not given up on attacking Daxi, and Fu Shangyuan even received news that the Western Xia King, who was originally critically ill, had suddenly recovered. Not only did he recover, but he now seemed younger than before.

Fu Shangyuan's face turned ashen when he thought of Fang Jinshi being in Xixia right now. He was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

After all, the temporary withdrawal of troops from Xixia is a fact. Even if it's only a temporary withdrawal, it's enough for Daxie to catch its breath and survive.

Since he took the throne, he worked diligently every day, almost the busiest person in the entire palace. No, he should be said to be the most frugal and busiest emperor after taking office throughout history.

After Yuan Buyu's defection, he took away a considerable amount of wealth from the Daxixi court. The team sent by Fu Shangyuan to raid the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't find much money; the entire mansion was already an empty shell.

Originally, Yuan Buyu had already made preparations for transferring and escaping.

The Da Xi court, without money, found it difficult to do anything. Fu Shangyuan, who had ascended the throne for more than half a year, was originally full of black hair, but now his temples were showing white strands.

East Prince, although he claimed every day to want to depose his father, never actually took any action. The two of them were more like they were in a cold war.

Gong Yu ru yuan became the Taifu in the palace, but he had few students, only Dong'er and Yuanbao.

Pan Zhizhan was Dong'er's private tutor, while Zhao Yun was responsible for teaching the two children martial arts. Fu Shangyuan provided decent treatment in all aspects except for not giving freedom to the Zong family members.

To this day, the emperor remains unaware that Zong Bai is Long He in disguise. This is probably due to his being too busy.

Every time Fu Shangyuan looked at the household department's reports, he saw the red "deficit" figures and would curse Yuan Buyu, that old bastard, fiercely.

Is it really worth bringing so much money into the grave

God must be blind, to let such a person have a son at his old age.

As for his daughter, Yuan Xiangli, her father ran away too quickly, he didn't even have time to take care of her.

But who knows if he didn't have time or just didn't want to.

Besides teaching martial arts to the two children in the palace, Zhao Yun was also given an important position in the Ministry of Justice by the emperor.

Even though the Ministry of War may not have someone with a prestigious reputation, his reputation within the Ministry of War and the military is already high enough. Fu Shangyuan wouldn't possibly put a subordinate who was loyal to him back into the Ministry of War, allowing him to thrive.

To go to the Ministry of Justice wouldn't be a disgrace to Zhao Yun's talents, and besides, Zhao Yun himself was willing.

Yuan Xiangli is now in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Fu Shangyuan always thinks that, before Yuan Xiang's death, Yuan Xiangli was so beloved by his only daughter, Yuan Xiangli even frequented the Prime Minister's residence after marriage. She couldn't possibly be unaware of Yuan Buyu's whereabouts.

There's still no word from Xixia about Yuan Buyu's whereabouts. Fu Shangyuan believes Yuan Xiangli must know where he is, even if he doesn't know the specifics, there must be some clues.

Then Zhao Yun took on the task of reviewing Yuan Xiangli's case.

For this woman who conspired three times to murder General's family and also stole the General's mother's husband, Zhao Yun didn't have much good feelings for her.

After losing her days of wealth and privilege, Yuan Xiangli, who had not shown signs of aging, now appeared to be in her seventies or eighties. The torment she endured in prison for over half a year had taken its toll on her appearance.

Zhao Yun didn't ask anything, but he still appeared in the cell every day.

It's not necessarily so. Even if he couldn't force Yuan Buyu to reveal his whereabouts, he still had to make the general and his family pay dearly, revenge for what they had done.

As for Yuan Xiangli's several children, they were all executed.

The two brothers from different branches of the Zong family only received this news after several months. Although Zong Taizhen and Zong Taivu were born to Yuan Xiangli, they still had half the Zong family's blood running through them, making them blood relatives.

The two brothers finally softened their hearts, but Fu Shangyuan hated Yuan Buyu so much that he wanted to eradicate him completely and would never let go of the Yuan Xiangli children.

Even if they wanted to stop it, it was too late. In the end, Zong Yu presented a sealed letter to the capital, begging Your Majesty to hand over the bodies of the three siblings to Yu Lian, allowing her to give them a final farewell and help bury them properly.

Fu Shangyuan originally didn't intend to agree, but Zongyu used another method to force him to agree.

One day, Fu Shangyuan refused to allow Yulian's body to be collected by the three siblings. He insisted that the army not leave the city to meet the enemy for a single day. Fu Shangyuan dared not disobey him, and within a day, he relented.

Since he had already killed everyone, this also served as his outlet for anger.

Of Yuan Xiangli's three children, Zong Taiwen was the unluckiest. He grew up diligently and conscientiously according to his parents' expectations. While he might not have made them particularly proud, he never made any mistakes that would embarrass them.

The mediocre, honest man was ultimately implicated by his family and lost his life. Yu Lian felt particularly sorry for her brother when she went to collect his body.

Zong Taiwu is arrogant and domineering, a despicable villain. Yuan Xiangli's daughter is no better, abusing her power and even attempting to seduce the current emperor.

Fu Shangyuan detested these three siblings intensely. If not for the sake of blood ties, Yu Lian wouldn't have spared them a glance either. It was just that her elder and younger brothers were soft-hearted, insisting on showing them some face out of familial obligation.

Fu Shangyuan not only killed Yuan Xiangli's three children but also spread the news, attempting to provoke Yuan Buyu into revealing his whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Yuan doesn't care about these three grandsons at all.

In the vast desert connecting Daxia and Xixia, Yuan Buyu and his party traveled eastward under the guidance of local tribespeople. They moved cautiously, evading danger at every turn. After six months of arduous journey, they finally reached the border of Xixia.

As he was about to enter Xi Xia, once inside its borders, Daxie's warrant would be useless against him.

Wen Xiaorou and her son were taken by Yuan Buyu's order, upon hearing the news of his daughter and grandson's death, he just sneered, with no hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Fu Shangyuan, that little fox, he knows this move won't work on me, he can't catch me. He's just killing a few people related to me out of spite."

Wen Xiaorou huddled with her son, terrified of Yuan Buyu, this devil. Wasn't Yuan Xiangli his beloved daughter who he had doted on for many years His daughter and grandson were dead, yet he didn't care at all.

He didn't even care about his own biological daughter, let alone this concubine of his.

If it weren't for her son, she would have been a dead person long ago.

Fang Jinshi is now doing very well in Xixia.

She cured the illness of the Western Xia King. If she hadn't given him something substantial in return, she wouldn't have her current position.

With status and a voice, she could better stir up the waters, causing them to turn on each other.

Within a month of her marriage into the prince's family, Asheng had regained her princely status and was now the most beloved son of the King of Xixia.

As for the reason for her favor, Fang Jinshu also invited a fortune teller back to give Asheng a very luxurious package.

He is a celestial being descended from the Purple Star of Heaven, destined to be an emperor. Even if he faces countless hardships, he will not die.

Before, Ah Sheng was framed and hunted down by his brothers within the palace. The King of Xixia knew about this, yet he not only survived but lived to bring back several such capable individuals to assist him.
