The Emperor listened to Xiao Yeyang’s report, and upon learning that even at this juncture, the old Duke still dared to make conditions, he couldn’t help but scoff. He flipped through the Luo family genealogy and said, "Tell the Luo family to spare only the children under the age of five."
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes flickered. It seemed the Luo family had only three children under five, including just one boy, who was Luo Honghao’s legitimate heir.
"Yes."
Xiao Yeyang once again visited the Duke Residence and conveyed the Emperor’s wishes.
Upon hearing this, the old Duke’s body swayed, and his back bent with a mix of resignation and helplessness.
Xiao Yeyang said, "Some things should not be delayed, lest there be further complications. Best to draw out Xiao Yechi sooner rather than later."
Trembling, the old Duke walked to the writing desk and started to write on a slip of paper.
Xiao Yeyang stood by, watching the entire process.
After finishing his writing, the old Duke looked at Xiao Yeyang. He had used a secret code, waiting for Xiao Yeyang to ask him about it.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Xiao Yeyang didn’t ask a thing.
Seeing this, the hearts of both the old Duke and the Duke sank even further.
What did this imply?
It implied that Xiao Yeyang had long mastered the secret codes used for communicating by the Eight Princes Party.
Taking a deep breath, the old Duke realized why the Eight Princes Party had been exterminated so thoroughly and cleanly previously.
Xiao Yeyang then spoke, just as the old Duke and the Duke had anticipated—he could understand the secret code: "Are you sure that Xiao Yechi will show up for Luo Qiong and the child she carries?"
With a pained expression, the old Duke said, "He will, because I wrote this letter. Even if Xiao Yechi doesn’t care about Qiongqiong, he will consider the Duke Residence’s face."
