Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 91: Concealing the truth

After thinking for a while, Feng Gong finally nodded: "Alright, I agree, but you must protect the foundation of my Fengyang Kingdom."

Li Yang nodded solemnly, "Of course, you are my family."

"The tunnels over at Tianji Tower are almost finished. Next, I will have the Imperial Guards assist me in evacuating the people. If I am not back before the palace banquet begins, please make sure that no one eats the food at the banquet."

Feng Mo and Feng Gong were shocked. This girl had actually made preparations all along, and the famous Tianji Tower would even help her.

"Why not eat the food served at the palace banquet? The dishes at the palace banquet undergo rigorous quality control. Could someone have poisoned them?"

Li Yang gave him a meaningful look. “Father, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. Don’t trust your ministers too much, except for your maternal grandfather.”

Upon learning that just a few days ago, Tianji Tower had discovered that the dishes at the palace banquet had been drugged beforehand, Feng Mojing was stunned for a long time. He was also petrified when he learned that Li Yang had sneaked into the place where the evil clan was hiding that night and wiped out 500 of their soldiers in advance.

If I remember correctly, the little girl was only at the Spirit Master level back then, right?

She's just as crazy as her mother.

Li Yang bowed and prepared to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Father, don't let Mother overwork herself tonight. She's not feeling well."

"What's wrong with her!" Feng Mo exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this. "I'll summon the imperial physician to see her immediately!"

Li Yang smiled but didn't say anything. She needed to go to Tianji Tower to check the situation first, and she also needed to spread out the substitute Gu left by Lian'er as bait.

When the evil race gains control of Fengyang Kingdom's main city, over a thousand of their people will self-destruct in front of them. Just thinking about it is satisfying.

……

Night falls quickly.

Feng Mo stood in the main seat, watching as the seats belonging to the common people outside were gradually filled. His hands, hanging at his knees, were sweating slightly.

This was the first time he had felt nervous in all the time he had been emperor.

Rou Sheng, who was standing to the side, asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? It's not like this is the first time you've seen a scene like this."

Feng Mo's smile was more strained than a cry, and his gaze kept falling on her stomach out of the corner of his eye.

Alas, he wasn't worried about the common people; he was worried about Rou Sheng's belly. That was his own flesh and blood. He wished Yang Yang could take her away with him, but Sheng'er was the Empress, and if she wasn't there, the evil clan would definitely become suspicious.

In fact, Li Yang had prepared pills for Rou Sheng to take every day in order to prevent her from miscarrying. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Rou Sheng does not die, even if she jumps off a cliff, her child will not die!

Feng Mo shook his head, remembering what Feng Gong had told him. Rou Sheng's belly hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy for so many years, but she suddenly became pregnant after you adopted Li Yang as your daughter.

You've adopted a wonderful daughter; you must repay her kindness properly...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...!"

Feng Mo snapped out of his daze, and the eunuch standing to the side asked him when the palace banquet would begin, as delaying it would make them late.

Feng Mo sneered inwardly. Delayed? After today, Fengyang Kingdom will 'disappear,' so what does it matter if it's delayed?

"Wait a little longer, the princess hasn't arrived yet." Feng Mo waved his hand casually, then looked at Rou Sheng with a gentle gaze.

The head of the ceremonial office awkwardly glanced around. Almost all the people on the outermost edge were already seated. If he looked up, he would be stared at by all the people. So many people were waiting for His Majesty to announce the start of the banquet, why were they waiting for the princess?

After a while, Li Yang and Shan Hong stepped into the palace gate together. She was dressed in black and was holding a scruffy, ugly cat in her arms.

The Imperial Censor was overjoyed. "Your Majesty, the princess has arrived!"

"Oh." Feng Mo helped Rou Sheng stand up. They were in front of the palace gate, with several steps leading down. Each step had a banquet table, and people sat down in order of their status. Rou Hong, who was sitting on the top step, looked at Feng Mo's actions with some confusion. Why was this kid so nervous about Sheng'er tonight?

Li Yang carried the ethereal cat up the main staircase. With each step she took, the person on that step would bow to her. Li Yang smiled and nodded. When she reached the top step, Rou Hong bowed to her.

Li Yang stepped forward to help him up, saying, "My grandfather is my elder, there's no need for formalities."

Roujie, who was standing to the side, was also helped up by her. Just as Roujie was about to say something, she heard Li Yang whisper in a voice that only they could hear, "There might be some problems later. Grandfather and Uncle, don't panic too much. Father will handle it."

After speaking, Li Yang returned to Feng Mo and Rou Sheng's side. "Father and Mother, I am late."

"It's alright, Yangyang, please sit down first."

Li Yang turned around and glanced at the last few rows of seats before slowly sitting down.

As soon as she sat down, she received concerned looks from Li Su and the other two. Li Yang silently shook her head at them.

Li lowered his head, feeling that something was going to happen tonight.

"Your Majesty, what about this banquet..." the eunuch asked impatiently.

"Oh, this banquet..." Feng Mo blinked frantically at Li Yang, he was also very anxious about whether or not to start the banquet!

Li Yang picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked innocently, "Father, why isn't the feast starting yet? Yangyang is starving!"

Having received the correct answer, Feng Mo waved his hand and announced, "Let the feast begin!"

The head of the ceremonial office finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted with renewed vigor, "Let the feast begin!"

The people below were so hungry that their stomachs were empty, and they all silently ate their food voraciously.

"I'm starving," Rou Sheng muttered under her breath, then picked up her chopsticks to serve some food to Feng Mo. "These are your favorite fried meatballs, eat more."

"Okay." Feng Mo was just picking up a meatball when he suddenly remembered what Li Yang had said about poisoning. His hand froze in mid-air. He turned around and saw that Li Yang hadn't eaten yet, while Rou Sheng had already picked up a piece of spicy chicken and was about to put it in her mouth.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Feng Mo hurriedly grabbed Rou Sheng's hand, turned to Li Yang and whispered, "Can we eat this, Yang Yang? What if we also..."

Li Yang shook her head, picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, replying vaguely, "Eat it, it's not poisonous."

Feng Mo then felt relieved and began to eat.

"Father, why is Yun Leizi still here?"

Feng Mo looked up and met Li Yang's direct gaze. "I remember I asked you to send him away as well."

Feng Mo said helplessly, "I had no choice. He insisted on staying, and I was afraid that if I said too much, I would give myself away, so I didn't stop him."

Li Yang was stroking the cat's head in his arms, seemingly lost in thought, when suddenly a sound of bowls and chopsticks shattering came from below, followed by panicked shouts!

"Dahu, what's wrong with you?!"

"Help! My husband is also in pain and foaming at the mouth!"

In an instant, chaos erupted throughout the venue!

The seats on the people's side were almost all overturned, and many people were lying on the ground clutching their stomachs and shouting!

Shan Hong led the Imperial Guards swiftly through the various tables and seats.

Li Yang was still sitting in her spot, petting the ethereal cat, when the voice of the Flying Crimson Tiger echoed in her mind, "Little girl, is there anything else you need us to do?"

Li Yang glanced at the last few tables; the chairs had been overturned, but no one was there anymore.

"You all retreat to Silent Forest first and prepare to provide backup."
