ged; he stared at her blankly.——The month-end countdown is on; those who are holding onto votes should cast them now! O(n_n)O~Thank you to the following for their diamond and flower donations!Lv La Ni...Chapter 17: Much to Gain

The Southern Liang King was her uncle, and the former emperor of Southern Liang was her grandfather. Her brother had always been in Southern Liang; it was basically like the Cloud王府, with half of her relatives there. Now that the Southern Liang King was ill for some reason, she naturally wanted to go and see him.

When Yun Qingshuang saw that Yun Qianmo agreed, she reached out and pulled her hand, "Let's go!"

"Wait a moment. Let me say something," Yun Qianmo dodged Yun Qingshuang.

Yun Qingshuang glanced at Rong Jing before giving Yun Qianmo an angry look. “It’s not as if you’re going and never coming back. Do you need to say goodbye” When she saw that Yun Qianmo was staring angrily at her, she immediately waved her hand. "Alright then, but hurry up with your goodbyes. I’ll wait outside the carriage for you." With that, she jumped out of the carriage.

"This woman!" Yun Qianmo muttered under her breath.

Rong Jing chuckled softly.

Yun Qianmo reached over and hugged Rong Jing’s waist. "You have to behave yourself and not cause any trouble with the ladies. Got it"

"Shouldn’t you be the one I need to warn, Yun Qianmo" Rong Jing looked down at her and said in amusement.

"I wouldn’t cause any trouble," Yun Qianmo shook her head.

"That’s not for certain. Besides Prince Tai Zi, there are a lot of princes in Southern Liang." Rong Jing spoke gently but with some heaviness in his voice, "Compared to the menfolk of Heavenly Saint, they’re even more numerous."

Yun Qianmo rolled her eyes. "You have enough trouble already,"

Rong Jing seemed to ponder this for a moment before shaking his head. “Not true.”

"Well then, what are you worried about" Yun Qianmo pushed him away and laughed heartlessly. "Don’t worry. Apart from Mister Rong and Zi Shu, I have no interest in any man in the world. Zi Shu is at the Eastern Sea. You don’t need to worry."

Rong Jing smiled and nodded. "I’m somewhat relieved, but still not entirely."

Yun Qianmo looked at him helplessly and shrugged her shoulders. “Then how can I make you feel better Come with me You’re the Chancellor now. Night Tianyi is keeping a close eye on you. How could you leave”

"Of course, I can’t leave," Rong Jing shook his head before suddenly pulling Yun Qianmo into his arms and lowering his lips to hers for a heavy kiss as if trying to imprint himself upon her lips.

Yun Qianmo’s body went soft. She gently tapped him but was unable to resist, allowing him to consume her breath.

Only when he had finished tasting the sweetness in her mouth did Rong Jing let go of her and said with a little panting: “Now I feel better.”

Yun Qianmo could no longer speak as she lay against him, panting.

"Alright. Aunt Qing must be waiting for us," Rong Jing pushed her away gently and tidied up her disheveled hair and clothes before bending down to kiss her cheeks once more. He then waved his hand lightly and sent her out of the carriage.

Yun Qianmo was still in a daze when she landed, barely standing steady. She noticed that this place was at an intersection while Yun Qingshuang stood beside her.

"Aunt Qing, I’m leaving her with you now. You have to take responsibility for looking after her. If she causes any trouble with the ladies, just pinch them off for her. But if a single strand of hair on her gets injured, I’ll hold you accountable," Rong Jing’s warm voice came from inside the carriage.

Yun Qianmo was speechless and wanted to tell Mister Rong that this person taking her to Southern Liang was her mother; did he have to give such strict instructions

"Aunt Qing is unreliable sometimes. I can’t help but warn you," Rong Jing seemed to read Yun Qianmo’s mind.

Yun Qianmo looked at Yun Qingshuang and couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Mother, how unreliable are you To have him give such instructions"

Yun Qingshuang reached out and smacked Yun Qianmo lightly before grumbling angrily: “I’m your stepmother. That’s why he did that.”

Yun Qianmo burst into laughter.

Yuyingqing reached out and grabbed Yun Qianyue's hand, while waving the other hand at Rong Jing’s carriage, "You can rest assured. She wouldn’t harm others if she doesn't do anything bad. You don't need to worry."

"Without your assurance, I still feel uneasy," said Rong Jing.

Yuyingqing seemed defeated and nodded, saying, "I assure you."

"That’s what I wanted to hear! I’ll keep track of the news from Southern Liang. If your assurance doesn’t count, I’ll find some young and beautiful maids for Uncle Yuan. Since you can't be there by his side, I assume you would appreciate my efforts if I help him out."

Yuyingqing’s face turned cold as she scolded, "You little brat! You’re threatening your future mother-in-law over a stinky girl!"

"There's no other way. Aunt Qing, please forgive me. The stinky girl you mentioned is indeed troublesome," said Rong Jing helplessly.

Yuyingqing couldn’t hold back her laughter and generously said, "You can rest assured! She dares to cause trouble Not only will you not do anything about it, but even I would break both her legs. If a mother-in-law like me cannot handle this situation, she won't be able to provoke anyone else."

Yun Qianyue’s face turned dark as she angrily said, "I have always kept myself pure and clean."

"It doesn’t matter if you keep yourself clean. Bees still come to your body anyway. You should follow me to Southern Liang where the rules are stricter. I don't want my mother to go out once again. When she returns, there will be more stepmothers around your father," said Yuyingqing as she pulled Yun Qianyue and walked away.

Yun Qianyue was speechless.

Rong Jing lifted the curtain to watch their figures disappear. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes before he let down the curtains, and the carriage continued moving forward.

Yuyingqing and Yun Qianyue arrived at the city gate when a strong wind was blowing fiercely. The guards closed their eyes and stood still as Yuyingqing and Yun Qianyue used lightness skills to jump over the gate. As soon as they crossed, the gust of wind blew them outside.

Yuyingqing touched her thumb and index finger lightly against her lips and whistled softly. Two horses galloped out from the Purple Maple Forest.

These were two Heavenly Mountain Snow Steeds, second only to Jade Snow Flying Dragons in terms of their quality.

Yun Qianyue looked at the two horses, recalling that she had yet to see Rong Jing’s promised Jade Snow Flying Dragon. She pulled on one horse's reins and got onto its back, while Yuyingqing did the same.

The moment they were seated atop their steeds, neither of them spoke as they simultaneously urged their horses forward with a slight pressure from their legs, causing the two snow-white horses to dash off like arrows.

Two days had passed since the heavy snowfall, and everywhere outside the city was still covered in white. Apart from the traces left by carriages on the official road, everything else was blanketed with snow.

The Heavenly Mountain Snow Steeds were naturally adept at running through snowy terrain. They galloped forward as if flying, leaping several yards at a time.

Yuyingqing and Yun Qianyue both wore snow-white fur capes that made them appear like two floating clouds, strikingly beautiful and noble against the backdrop of the white world.

It was well past noon when they set out. Since there were no people on the official road, only the two riders and their horses galloped along, leaving a trail of wind behind them. Yun Qianyue hid in her horse’s mane and wrapped herself tightly with her fur cloak without looking at the path ahead, allowing Snow Steed to take them forward. Yuyingqing glanced humorously at Yun Qianyue before doing the same.

The two Snow Steeds seemed intelligent as they didn’t need guidance from their riders but knew exactly how to run and kept pace with each other perfectly on the official road. Occasionally, when they encountered pedestrians, they would swerve around them swiftly, leaving little time for people to identify who was riding the horses.

The Phoenix Pass was a crucial checkpoint along the route leading south. Yun Qianyue naturally knew this path very well and could even navigate it with her eyes closed. She had traveled back and forth between Tian Sheng City and the Phoenix Pass many times before, not to mention her most recent visit to the mountain library.

After leaving the city for 200 li, they arrived at Yuncheng, then continued on to Fengcheng without stopping. It was already dark when they reached Fengcheng. Since Yun Qianyue hadn’t eaten since noon, she finally couldn’t hold out any longer and entered the city with Yuyingqing for a meal.

Yun Qianyue usually went to her Drunken Fragrance Building whenever she left home, but now that Yuyingqing was following her, she decided where they would eat.

After entering Fengcheng, Yuyingqing led the horses through a narrow alley. The city itself wasn’t large and wasn’t bustling with activity; when Yuyingqing entered an alley, she walked around aimlessly. Yun Qianyue followed her for quite some time before asking impatiently, "Mother, I said I was hungry and wanted to eat. Did you not hear me"

"I heard you clearly," replied Yuyingqing without turning back.

Yun Qianyue felt reassured but still asked as she looked at the houses along the alley, "Where are any restaurants or stores When will we stop"

"We’re almost there. It’s just down this street," Yuyingqing replied and glanced back at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue nodded, she wanted to see what they were going to eat.

When they arrived at a narrow alley in front of them, there was an establishment with a sign hanging above its door that read "Shi Yin Restaurant." The sign and the words on it were quite small. However, despite being situated in such an off-the-beaten-path location, there were many horses and carriages parked outside.

"Do you want to drink" Yun Qianyue looked at Yu Qingqing and asked.

"I can have a couple of drinks. The Plum Flower Dew here is sweet and fragrant without being greasy. Since we've been traveling, our bodies are cold; it's perfect for warming us up. Apart from the Plum Flower Dew, their specialty dish and Spring Festival noodles are also delicious." Yu Qingqing didn't stop walking but instead bypassed the front door of the restaurant and led her horse to the back door.

Hearing this, Yun Qianyue nodded. Judging by her behavior, she was a regular customer here. She followed behind Yu Qingqing with her own horse in hand.

The two of them arrived at the backyard of the restaurant, which was a small yard. Yu Qingqing tied up their horses and reached out to push open the little door; it wasn't locked, so she easily opened it and beckoned Yun Qianyue inside.

Yun Qianyue also secured her horse before following her in.

The yard was very small, not even one-third the size of her own Yanyue Courtyard. However, its elegance surpassed that of Yun's by several times. There were plum blossoms planted all over the yard; they bloomed despite the bitter coldness, their fragrance filling the air.

The courtyard was empty when they arrived. Yu Qingqing walked straight ahead and soon enough, they could smell a delicious aroma coming from inside. Along with the scent of food came that of plum blossoms and alcohol. Yun Qianyue's stomach rumbled in response to the smells, instantly awakening her appetite.

"Old Yang, I heard someone come in. Go have a look; is it Qing'er who’s arrived" An elderly woman's voice emerged from a small room.

"No need to check, it must be Qing'er. She had already sent word that she was coming and asked us to prepare the meal for her. No one else would use our back door," an old man replied.

"Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang, even at your age, your ears are still as sharp as ever!" Yu Qingqing laughed and approached the small room.

The closer they got to the room, the stronger the smell of food became. Yun Qianyue curiously followed Yu Qingqing forward, thinking that perhaps they had come straight to the kitchen. She walked up with interest.

"You little brat, how long has it been since you’ve visited It’s rare for you to think about us," an old woman scolded from inside.

"He travels all over the country with Xiao Hua Zi; who has time to think of us That he even remembers us now is already a blessing." The old man added.

The two continued talking, but neither came out to greet them. Inside, sounds of pots and pans clattering were heard as someone was clearly cooking.

Yu Qingqing reached the door, and Yun Qianyue looked inside. She saw a spacious little kitchen with an elderly woman and man both around seventy or eighty years old in there: one stir-frying dishes while the other prepared noodles. The small kitchen was very clean and tidy. Despite their age, they still seemed energetic and nimble.

"This is my daughter!" Yu Qingqing nudged Yun Qianyue forward.

The moment these words were spoken, all sounds from inside the kitchen ceased as both the old man and woman turned to look at Yun Qianyue simultaneously.

Yun Qianyue was taken aback by their reaction. She smiled warmly at them and said, "Old man, old lady, I am Yun Qianyue."

The couple threw down their utensils—a ladle and a spatula—before looking her over closely. A moment later, they exchanged glances before asking Yu Qingqing together: "Is she not Xiao Hua Zi’s child"

Yun Qianyue was puzzled by this question.

Before Yu Qingqing could answer, the couple continued speaking, "Didn’t you marry Xiao Hua Zi This little girl looks quite like you, so why is she surnamed Yun instead of Hua"

Yun Qianyue was speechless. It seemed they thought this was the reason. She stepped back and let Yu Qingqing explain.

Yu Qingqing chuckled and said, "She’s our daughter; we have special reasons for her to be surnamed Yun."

The couple understood immediately and then walked over together—one on each side of Yun Qianyue—grabbing her hands and pulling her along while saying to Yu Qingqing: "We’ll chat with this little girl. You take care of the cooking." With that, they had already dragged Yun Qianyue out of the kitchen.

Yun Qianyue looked back at Yu Qingqing who was rolling up her sleeves and preparing for work. She waved to Yun Qianyue saying, "Go ahead!"

Sighing in resignation, Yun Qianyue was led away by the elderly couple.

The two elders carried Yun Qianyue into a room, then sat on either side of her to chat. Though they claimed it was chatting, in reality, they were talking non-stop while she couldn’t even get a word in edgewise. All she could do was listen quietly as the two went on and on until they finally stopped speaking after a long time, waiting for Yun Qianyue’s response. Fortunately, she had an eidetic memory and managed to answer all their questions cleverly avoiding any sensitive issues.

The two elders were overly enthusiastic even after she answered all their questions, and became even more talkative as they continued to hold her hand while narrating their past stories: how they fell in love, how they got married, what happened during those years, and so on. It seemed that they wanted to tell her everything about them.

Yun Qianyue was speechless but couldn’t show any impatience, thinking of Yu Qingqing, "Where the hell did you bring me Do you know I’m starving" Until she had no choice but to stop them from talking by growling in hunger. It was already dark outside when the two looked at her and started laughing.

Yun Qianyue was confused as to why they were amused, wondering what had pleased those old folks so much.

"You’re a good kid, not fast enough to be Qing’s daughter!" The elder man released Yun Qianyue's hand and patted her on the shoulder. "Listening to us two talk without showing any impatience is better than your father when he was young."

“Indeed, she has a good heart and knows how to respect elders,” The elder woman said with a warm smile. “She’s truly remarkable! She definitely has the roots of wisdom.”

Yun Qianyue stared at them blankly.

"Qing," The old man called out, "Bring in some food and let her eat first. After she finishes eating, we will help her clear some obstacles so that she can achieve greater success with the Phoenix Scripture."

The old woman also followed him as they walked out of the room.

Yun Qianyue watched them leave, even more perplexed than before.

A short while later, Yu Qingqing entered the room carrying a tray with two bowls of noodles and some side dishes and a bottle of wine. “Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang are unique individuals with exceptional martial arts skills that can rival Master Pusuan’s and my adoptive father’s. After you broke through the Phoenix tribulation in your practice of the Phoenix Scripture, merging the inner strength I transmitted to you, you’re now at a stage where you need to accumulate more virtue. However, since you are burdened with many concerns, your true energy isn’t pure enough. Therefore, I asked Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang to help clear these burdens from your mind, which will greatly benefit your cultivation."

Yun Qianyue was puzzled. “What do you mean by ‘burdened’ and ‘not pure enough’”

"It means that you are too preoccupied with thoughts and worries and feel too weighed down," Yu Qingqing explained while placing the tray on the table, "The true essence of the Phoenix Scripture lies in the 'scripture' rather than the phoenix. Mother once told me that understanding comes from one's own insights rather than mere explanations."

Yun Qianyue nodded and began to eat her meal as Yu Qingqing went out to help Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang entertain their remaining guests, then closed up the restaurant.

With Yu Qingqing’s protection, the two elders helped Yun Qianyue break through the stage of accumulating virtue in her practice of the Phoenix Scripture.

Yun Qianyue was impressed. Although she knew that these two had strong bodies and were certainly martial artists when she first arrived, she didn’t expect them to be so powerful. Her own martial arts skills seemed weak compared to their formidable qi, which easily broke through her defenses and entered the eight extraordinary meridians within her body.

Yun Qianyue could feel that these two streams of energy were warm like water flowing along her meridians inch by inch, purifying her true essence. What was originally thickened inside her had become thin after their purification, and she could sense the areas that felt light and soft, like jade polished to a lustrous shine. The uncleaned parts seemed heavy and murky as Yu Qingqing mentioned.

Time passed second by second.

After an unknown period of time, her entire body had undergone this purification before the two elders finally stopped.

"You’ve made it! How do you feel" The elder man asked Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue opened her eyes and felt a clarity in her mind and senses. Her thoughts were clear as crystal, with the worries that had been weighing on her heart gone, leaving only calmness like the surface of a lake. She nodded. "I feel great, indescribable comfort."

The elder man laughed. "Of course! We’ve used thirty years' worth of our cultivation to help you; how could you not feel good"

"Thank you, Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang," Yun Qianyue sincerely thanked them.

“Qing saved us when we were young,” The elder woman waved her hand dismissively, “and that’s why we are still alive today. You don’t have to be so formal. If you’re not too tired, it’s time for you two to get going.”

Yun Qianyue looked at Yu Qingqing who had just woken up and was yawning as she beckoned her forward with a wave of her hand.

"Let's go!

Yun Qianyue was speechless. Could there be such a mother Wasn't she an Enforcement Officer She sleeps so soundly.

The two of them bade farewell to their elders and left the tavern. At this time, dawn was already breaking.

As cold winds blew outside, Yun Qianyue did not feel even a trace of chilliness; instead, she felt warm all over. Without Yu Qingqing having to say anything, she knew that she had benefited greatly from this trip.

The two of them led Tashan and took the same route out of the alleyway. Yun Qianyue saw a familiar figure enter the city, causing her to pause in surprise and ask Yu Qingqing, "Mother, did you see Cang Ting What's he doing here"

"Yes, I saw him! The young master of the Cang family only returned to the capital two days ago. Now he actually came here." Yu Qingqing nodded.

Yun Qianyue frowned and said, "Did he attend court these past few days Did Father tell you that he didn’t go"

"Father only mentioned that he entered the capital to stay in the Regent Prince’s residence but did not attend court. Since he left again now, there must be something going on." Yu Qingqing said, "Although Cang Ting received an imperial appointment as a chief investigator several months ago, he still serves as one of the seven princes' advisors. He has the freedom to enter and leave the capital at any time; it’s not strange."

"Do you think he might also be going to Nan Liang" Yun Qianyue asked out of speculation.

"Qingshan City is already stable, so there's no need for him to return. If he’s taking this route, it could either mean returning to the Peach Grove of the Ten Great Families or heading towards Nan Liang or Southern Yi." Yu Qingqing said, "Where do you think his chances are higher"

Yun Qianyue narrowed her eyes upon hearing that. "Since the King of Southern Yi is on his deathbed, it seems he’s going to Southern Yi."

"Are you going to stop him" Yu Qingqing asked.

Yun Qianyue pondered for a moment and then shook her head. "Rong Jing allowed him to leave the capital without obstruction; we won’t interfere with his plans."

Yu Qingqing nodded in agreement.

"Don't let him find us. We’ll take another route out of town, getting ahead of him by a step." Yun Qianyue said.

Yu Qingqing agreed and the two entered the alleyway again, taking a different route to avoid the main streets in Fengcheng and arriving at the southern gate of the city. After presenting their passes, they left the city and galloped towards another town called Lan City.

The horses had rested overnight, so they were full of energy; with a flick of their hooves, they ran off along the road in the early morning. The only sound heard on the official route was the hoofbeats of the horses. Snowflakes were lifted by the horse’s hooves and carried away by the wind.

Midday found them at Lan City where they had a simple meal before setting off again.

The next city after Lan City was Qi City, followed by Qingshan City, and then Phoenix Pass. Within one day, the two of them arrived at Phoenix Pass. Eight hundred miles in distance, even Tashan, being an excellent horse, had to be puffing for breath.

Phoenix Pass, despite being covered with heavy snow, was still bleak; a few months ago, it had been praised by Yun Qianyue as grand and imposing, but now it looked like a rooster whose tail feathers have been plucked, appearing desolate. However, fortunately, Phoenix Pass remained intact and hadn’t collapsed due to the floodwaters. Inside, only a few scattered houses could be seen amidst the snow-covered landscape.

Seeing this scene, Yun Qianyue imagined how devastating it must have looked when the area was flooded several months ago. She stopped and asked Yu Qingqing, "What happened to that general of Phoenix Pass"

"He returned to the capital to apologize to your uncle and committed suicide at the imperial palace; he was buried honorably by your uncle," Yu Qingqing replied.

“Was it not his fault Have they found out what caused it” Although Yun Qianyue had a suspicion, she hadn't verified it.

"No! They didn’t find anything. The person behind it covered their tracks completely; everyone involved in the incident perished in the floodwaters," Yu Qingqing said.

Yun Qianyue fell silent. That person's actions naturally had to be flawless, but even though Nan Liang was an independent small state, it still belonged to the vast territory of Tiansheng. The people of Nan Liang were also subjects of Tiansheng; such matters could not be made public.

After entering Phoenix Pass, both Yun Qianyue and Yu Qingqing were exhausted, as well as their horses, so they found a tavern to rest for the night.

After bathing and washing up, mother and daughter went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, she heard familiar voices outside her courtyard. Yun Qianyue woke up, opened her eyes, listened carefully, then got out of bed and approached the window. Outside under the light, she saw Cang Ting entering the tavern where they were staying and tying his horse.

"Did that boy from the Cang family come as well" Yu Qingqing woke up and asked Yun Qianyue.

"Mm, it's him." Yun Qianyue nodded.

Yu Qingqing said nonchalantly, "Our horses are faster than his. It was expected that we would arrive in the middle of the night. Looks like he didn't return to the Ten Miles Peach Grove Forest. We'll see tomorrow if he goes to Southern Liang or Southern Jia."

Yun Qianyue nodded and returned to her bed.

The courtyard was quiet for a while, but after about an hour, a familiar voice sounded outside the yard again.

Yun Qianyue woke up once more, pushed away the quilts, got out of bed, and went to the window. She saw a blue-clothed woman enter the courtyard, leading a horse. Clearly, she had also arrived overnight. After several months without seeing her, that woman had become somewhat thin. Although she was wearing a cloak and a fur hat, Yun Qianyue still recognized her instantly—she was Lan Yi, the head of the Lan family.

From when the Lan Family set up the Dragon's Den Tiger's Den Formation to when Nan Lingrui took personal responsibility for his actions, until he abandoned the formation and refused marriage, Yun Qianyue hadn't seen her after she left the peach forest with Nan Lingrui and Yu Qingqing. She didn't expect that several months later, they would run into Lan Yi again here.

"Is it that little girl from the Lan family" Yu Qingqing was woken up once more.

Yun Qianyue nodded, "It seems she has come to meet Cang Ting."

Yu Qingqing nodded. "They arrived one after another, so they must have something in common."

Yun Qianyue looked out the window and saw Lan Yi tie up her horse before being welcomed into a room by an innkeeper. It was indeed Cang Ting's residence. She closed the curtain, returned to her bed, and after pondering for a moment said, "Mother, we'll leave tomorrow morning after they have gone. We will see where exactly they go. About 100 li from here is the fork that leads to Southern Jia."

Yu Qingqing nodded in approval.

Yun Qianyue went back to sleep again.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, there was movement in the courtyard. Yun Qianyue and Yu Qingqing woke up, sat up, went to the window, and saw Cang Ting and Lan Yi leading horses out of the yard together. The two women looked at each other, left their room, checked out, and led their horses out.

After they left the courtyard, there was no trace left of Cang Ting and Lan Yi. But it was so early in the morning that few people were on the move. Their hoof prints were clear. The two women mounted their horses, followed the tracks.

Cang Ting and Lan Yi seemed eager to travel; they continuously spurred their horses without stopping.

Yun Qianyue and Yu Qingqing followed them.

About a hundred li later, they arrived at the border between Southern Liang and Southern Jia. The two of them headed towards Southern Liang.

This move was unexpected by Yun Qianyue. She had thought that with the Southern Jia King's death approaching, Qin Chancellor returning to Southern Jia with his family might pose a chance for power seizure. Since Qin Chancellor was an old emperor’s man and Qin Yuning was Night Tianyi’s person, while Lan Yi and Cang Ting were also part of Night Tianyi's camp, it made sense that Night Tianyi would send people to help the Qin Chancellor manage Southern Jia. But they actually went to Southern Liang.

Yu Qingqing was equally surprised but quickly became serious, murmuring, "It looks like they are heading for Southern Liang."

"That's obvious," Yun Qianyue said darkly while looking ahead, "Looks like Night Tianyi isn't just targeting Southern Jia. He also has his sights set on Southern Liang. His aim is to help the Qin Chancellor seize power in Southern Jia by implementing a strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao because Southern Liang borders Southern Jia. If he doesn’t want Southern Liang to come to Southern Jia’s aid, he needs to create chaos first in Southern Liang before capturing Southern Jia."

Yu Qingqing nodded, "Very likely."

"If that's the case, could it be said that Night Tianyi has already invested a large number of troops into Southern Jia If he doesn't conquer Southern Jia this time, there's no way he'll stop!" Yun Qianyue spoke solemnly.

Yu Qingqing replied, "Qin Chancellor is the legitimate successor to the Southern Jia throne and has genuine Southern Jia bloodlines. That already gives him a firm foothold. Second, if he also has sufficient military strength, then given the current situation with the Southern Jia King's imminent death, Princess Ye and Han E being distracted by various affairs, the outcome is still uncertain."

Yun Qianyue suddenly pulled back her horse reins and made a decision. She said to Yu Qingqing, "Mother, let’s separate here! You go to Southern Liang to save Uncle. With your medical skills, he should be fine; I wouldn't be much help there. I'll go to Southern Jia to assist Ye Qian and Yun Muhuan. No matter how bad that woman is, Yun Muhuan is still my cousin brother and my uncle’s son; I can’t just know something's wrong without doing anything."

Yu Qingqing nodded, "Alright!"
