Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingzhao immediately became somewhat displeased.

She wanted to wait until her conversation with Lin Zixiao was over before spending more time with Ren Tianye, but Lin Zixiao interrupted her.

Moreover, she was very clear about it.

Ren Tianye will definitely agree.

As expected, before Xiao Mingzhao could speak, Ren Tianye said, "Brother Lin's loyalty is something we should report to His Majesty."

I won't bother you any longer.

"Goodbye for now."

Ren Tianye turned and left.

Having anticipated this, Xiao Mingzhao was even more displeased with Lin Zixiao.

He said coldly, "What is it? You need to speak to me alone."

Lin Zixiao looked around to make sure Ren Tianye was indeed far away before kneeling down and saying, "These are words I shouldn't have said, but I have no choice but to say them."

"Duke Ren is indeed a pillar of the state, but he is also deep-seated and may not be a good minister. I urge Your Majesty to distance yourself from Duke Ren in the future."

After a pause, with an expression almost identical to his father Lin Yi's, he said with a tragic air, "The Great Yu is no longer as powerful as it once was. Your Majesty is now the first female emperor, and you should revitalize the Great Yu."

"From now on, you must be close to virtuous ministers and keep away from petty men!"

Xiao Mingzhao, who was already annoyed, became even more furious.

He retorted, "Who taught you to say that?"

"The Duke of Ren is one of my most trusted ministers; how dare you interfere?"

"Hmph! Lin Zixiao, it's a wonder that Duke Ren recommended you so highly, yet you turn out to be such a despicable person?"

"Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"

After saying that, Xiao Mingzhao turned and left, leaving Lin Zixiao extremely anxious.

He's not a villain!

He's not the kind of person who would speak ill of others behind their backs!

However, with the grand plan of the Great Yu Dynasty at hand, how could a loyal minister like him remain silent?

His whole heart is devoted to the Great Yu!

For Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, why do you still not understand him?

"It seems that the Duke of Ren has won His Majesty's favor, and there is no point in advising him anymore. From now on, I will have to take matters into my own hands."

"Considering that Duke Ren has recovered the northern frontier and treated me well, I, Lin Zixiao, will definitely give Duke Ren a chance to fight me one-on-one in the future, and let him die on the battlefield!"

Lin Zixiao made this plan in his mind.

He was a decisive man. Once he had made up his mind, he stopped hesitating and turned to leave the city, leading his men back to the main camp to hand over the 200,000 troops outside the city.

……

The Lin family army camp.

The place was bustling and noisy at that moment.

The voices of midwives could be heard continuously from inside the tent.

"Keep pushing, the baby will be out soon."

"Push harder, push harder!"

This was naturally accompanied by Bai Zixuan's pitiful screams.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng, who were waiting outside the tent, were extremely anxious. Some stood, some walked, and all their expressions were filled with anxiety.

"Oh dear, is this midwife any good?"

"Zixuan looks like she's in a lot of pain, I really... wish I could take her place."

"Zixuan, will Zixuan be alright?"

"Zixuan will definitely be alright."

……

Just when things were getting extremely tense, a loud cry suddenly came from inside the tent, indicating that a child had been born. The Chifeng Uprising members immediately went inside to look.

They were all kept outside the door by the maids.

After waiting a few more moments, the midwife, whom they had temporarily found from a nearby village, pulled back the curtain with a joyful expression and exclaimed, "The baby has been born! Mother and child are safe!"

All seven members of the Chifeng Uprising were excited.

The eldest brother, Xiao Lie, shouted, "I'm going to be a father! I'm going to be a father!"

Just as the eldest brother Xiao Lie shouted, the second brother Cheng Shu, the third brother Shen Xiao, the fourth brother Su Mo, the fifth brother Tang Yin, the sixth brother Wen Liang, and the seventh brother Zhao Cheng also shouted excitedly.

"I'm going to be a dad!"

"I'm going to be a dad!"

"I'm going to be a dad!"

……

The group exchanged smiles, and then...

Shut up immediately!

Look at me, and I look at you!

They stood there, stunned for a moment!

Their faces inevitably showed a hint of embarrassment!

This scene left the midwife somewhat bewildered, but she obviously didn't think much of it, especially since she had just been brought from the village and didn't know what was going on.

He still had a big smile on his face.

She said, "Miss gave birth to a boy, you all..."

"Who is the father of the child?"

As she spoke, the midwife looked at Xiao Lie, the leader of the Chifeng Uprising. After all, he was the one who shouted the loudest and was the first to shout. In the midwife's subconscious feeling, he should be the father of the child.

"I..." The eldest brother, Xiao Lie, suddenly took a step forward.

He took a step with the force of a thousand troops, but the words caught in his throat, and he could only say awkwardly, "I... I'm the child's... godfather."

"Hmm?" The midwife was even more surprised and looked at the second son, Cheng Shu.

The second brother, Cheng Shu, had Bai Zixuan's orders in his mind.

Anyone who dares to openly or covertly fight will be kicked out of the team!

So, he said, somewhat sullenly, "I... I'm a godfather too!"

The midwife was even more confused and looked at the third son.

The third brother, unsurprisingly, replied: "Me, godfather!"

Fourth brother: "I'm a godfather too!"

Fifth Brother: "Me? I'm the godfather!"

Sixth Brother: "I, I, I, this is my godfather!"

The seventh brother, the most boastful of all, suddenly patted his chest, his face beaming with excitement, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am your godfather!"

Midwife: "???"

Somewhat confused.

No, seven godfathers?

Who exactly is the father of that child?

This woman was going through another life-or-death ordeal when she gave birth, but... the baby's father didn't come, but seven godfathers did?

Can't figure it out.

However, the midwife dared not ask too many questions, after all, these were all military men.

They quickly led everyone into the tent, and after Bai Zixuan had made the arrangements, they brought the people to Bai Zixuan's side and took the child with them.

The child was chubby-cheeked, his features not yet fully developed, but he already possessed a handsome appearance, instantly stirring the hearts of the seven members of the Chifeng Uprising. The eldest, Xiao Lie, even spoke up, "Zixuan, haven't you named the child yet?"

"How about I come up with a name for him, like Xiao Yan?"

"With this name, you'll definitely be a winner in life."

Before he could finish speaking, he was shoved aside by several other brothers from the Chifeng Uprising: "Ha, you sure know how to come up with a name, huh? And it even uses your surname! What are you up to?"

"If you ask me, we should name him Tang Hao!"

"Get out! Get out!" Fifth Brother Tang Yin's suggestion clearly angered everyone even more, so Seventh Brother Zhao Cheng shouted, "If that's how you name someone, I think Emperor Zhao Jia would be the best!"

……

Amid the commotion, Bai Zixuan's voice rang out.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"I've already thought of the child's name. From now on, he will take my surname, Bai, and his given name... will be Bai Zhongwang."

He also has a nickname.

"This nickname was given to me by the Grand Palace Master, and it sounds wonderful."

"Let's call him... Little King Kong!"
