Shortly after, Xiao Yan turned to the crowd and announced loudly, "Thank you all for your efforts and dedication during this difficult time. Today, I declare that we have reached a peace agreement with Northern Wei, and from now on, we will embark on a new chapter of peace and prosperity!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room erupted into thunderous applause, and people's faces were filled with released joy. Liang Kindom finally welcomed the long-awaited time of peace.
In this joyful atmosphere, Li Shu-yi was supported as she walked in. Her body had greatly improved, and she was carrying a big belly with a gentle smile on her face.
As soon as she saw Emperor Xiao Yan, she couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Your Majesty, you're finally back."
Chao Qinglan gently caressed Li Shu-yi's belly and looked at Xiao Yan: "It looks like His Majesty will still be able to see his son being born."
Xiao Yan was overjoyed and also stepped forward to touch Li Shu-yi's belly: "Has the imperial physician confirmed that it's a boy?"
Chao Qinglan playfully replied, "How could this be fake? Your servant did not deceive Your Majesty this time."
Xiao Yan beamed with joy, "Great, I have a son, Qinglan, we have a son."
After speaking, Xiao Yan gently held Li Shu-yi's hand and said, " Shu Yi, during the time I was away, I appreciate the hardship of carrying our child."
Li Shu-yi smiled and turned her gaze to Chao Qinglan, "Your Majesty, I am not the one enduring hardship. It is the Empress who has been enduring the hardship, supporting the entire Liang Kindom in your absence."
Xiao Yan looked at Chao Qinglan with a smile in his eyes and said, "I know she is my empress, and also my trusted right-hand person."
Upon hearing this, Chao Qinglan looked back at Xiao Yan, and everything was understood without a word.
The atmosphere became even warmer in this heartwarming conversation, and the joy of reunion filled the entire palace with a happy atmosphere.
Xiao Yan announced that, to celebrate the arrival of peace, a grand banquet will be held in the palace, inviting the royal nobles from across the country, military commanders, and the people to celebrate together.
At the The Hall of Supreme Harmony in Liang Kindom, a heart-stirring banquet is being held to celebrate Xiao Yan's successful suppression of the northern rebellion, ensuring the security of the country's borders.
The hall is resplendent with gold and jewels, the dragon pillars towering high, and the sound of silk and bamboo music fills the air, showcasing the wealth and power of the royal family of Liang Kindom.
In this grand setting, Xiao Yan is dressed in a Dragon robe, exuding an imposing presence as he sits in the high seat, accompanied by the beautiful and intelligent Empress Zhao Qinglan, as well as their children and trusted ministers.
At the banquet, the sound of stringed instruments filled the air, and the singing and dancing brought joy and harmony. The performers were dressed in magnificent attire, gracefully dancing and playing melodious music, adding infinite joy to this peaceful night.
At the climax of the banquet, Xiao Yan stood up, raised his glass, and declared loudly, "Today is a day worth commemorating in the history of Liang Kindom. We have welcomed peace, and all of this is thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of everyone present. Let us raise our glasses together for the future of Liang Kindom, for our peace and prosperity. Cheers!"
The whole venue erupted in enthusiastic applause, with people raising their glasses in response, joy and hope shining on everyone's faces. In this moment, all the bitterness and fatigue seemed to be washed away, leaving only a beautiful vision for the future.
However, behind this surface glamour, Xiao Yan's heart harbored indescribable worries. He knew that many of the royal relatives present, including some distant relatives surnamed Xiao, were not sincerely loyal to him. These people, such as Xiao Cong, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Xu, flattered Xiao Yan on the surface but secretly colluded with eunuchs and foreign tribes, plotting to undermine his rule.
When the banquet reached its climax, Xiao Yan stood up. Under the gaze of everyone present, his eyes swept over each guest in the room, finally settling on Xiao Cong and a few others. His voice rang out loud and firm: "Today, we gather to celebrate the peace and prosperity of our country. But behind this glory lies the hard work and dedication of every son and daughter of Liang Kindom. We must not forget that the strength of our nation requires the collective efforts and mutual assistance of each and every one of us."
Xiao Cong and the others' faces changed slightly, exchanging a glance that seemed to silently convey some kind of message.
Xiao Yan noticed all of this and then changed the subject: "However, although Liang Kindom is large, it is not without treacherous and deceitful individuals. They may appear loyal on the surface, but in reality, they have the hearts of wolves and the nature of dogs. Today, I want to tell everyone that any attempt to undermine the stability of Liang Kindom and harm the interests of the people will be met with the most severe punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and immediately several guards emerged from the shadows. They were the royal and noble family members who had been secretly gathering evidence against and plotting rebellion against Xiao Yan.
At this moment, the entire hall fell into a dead silence, with all eyes focused on the captives and the majestic emperor.
Xiao Cong and others looked ashen-faced, never expecting that Xiao Yan had already obtained evidence of their guilt.
Xiao Yan looked at them and said coldly, " Xiao Cong, Xiao Jin, Xiao Xu, as members of the royal family of Liang Kindom, you should have been the pillars of the country, but you chose the path of betrayal and selfishness. Your actions not only betrayed me, but also betrayed the people of Liang Kindom."
Xiao Cong attempted to explain, "Your Majesty, you misunderstand, we..."
"Misunderstanding?" Xiao Yan interrupted him, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority, "Don't think that I am too preoccupied with the battles in the northern border to attend to you. The evidence given to me by the empress is enough to prove your crimes. Conspiring with foreign enemies, plotting against the state, attempting to cut off the military's food supply, withholding weapons, embezzling taxes from the people - can these be cleared up with just a simple misunderstanding?"
The atmosphere in the room was heavy, everyone holding their breath, feeling shaken by Xiao Yan's decision. Chao Qinglan also stood quietly on the side, her eyes filled with support and determination for Xiao Yan. Fortunately, she had Xiao Zhan to help her expose the disloyalty of these people in recent days. Otherwise, with the burden of state affairs and the harem on her shoulders, she might not have been able to notice the turmoil these people were causing behind her back.
Xiao Yan continued, "The prosperity and stability of Liang Kindom today are built on the countless loyal sons and daughters who have sacrificed their lives. I will not allow anyone to destroy all of this. Xiao Cong, Xiao Jin, Xiao Xu, and all other traitors will be immediately detained, awaiting a public trial in the court tomorrow to face justice."
