Originally, when Murong Qingyun suggested to him using Murong Xiao's identity to take the opportunity to bring Murong Xiao back to the Marshal's Mansion, he fully agreed. However, after hearing what Xia Muwan said, he hesitated.

Indeed, if Murong Xiao were brought home now, she would have to be given an explanation later. As a princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this explanation must be the position of empress. Instead of this, it would be better not to give an explanation from the beginning, and then slowly find a solution after the big thing is successful.

Seeing Murong Qingyu silent, Xia Muwan continued to persuade him, "Qingyu, it's only a matter of time before we take over the kingdom of Nanyue, so we often have to take a long-term view. This is a different time, and some promises cannot be made lightly, especially to Murong Xiao.

And don't forget, originally the Crown Prince was the most suitable heir to the throne, but because of me, the Divine Cult has agreed to stand on our side. At least they won't push the Crown Prince to the throne just because of his identity.

The Divine Cult has given us so much face and support, yet we're pushing for Murong Xiao to ascend the throne and marry Qingyun as empress. Don't forget, the Divine Cult and the Northern Wei are incompatible. From now on, do you plan to side with the Divine Cult or the Northern Wei?

Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't try to get the best of both worlds. Sometimes, if you do, you'll end up in a dead end."

Xia Muwan's words completely woke him up. Murong Qingyu sighed and nodded: "I understand. Just pretend I didn't mention this matter."

Xia Muwan nodded gently: "I'll have to trouble you to persuade Qingyun. He is a man who wants to do great things, and sometimes he can't be so willful. When he accomplishes his great things, he can have any woman he wants in the future."

"If only it were that easy for him to make sense."

"Doesn't Murong Yan know hypnosis? Let her instill this idea in him during hypnosis."

Murong Qingyu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "You've thought it through."

"As for Murong Xiao, even if she doesn't divorce the Crown Prince, we can still use her as a middleman to get Northern Wei to form an alliance with us. Wouldn't it be better if you treated Murong Xiao better in the future? In short, don't make any wishes of her.

If Northern Wei stands on our side, it means Murong Xiao is still useful. If she does not stand on our side, it means that you and Qingyun have made a mistake.

Regardless of whether we made a mistake or not, or whether she has any value or not, Murong Xiao's identity is already clear. Until we have absolute strength, it's best not to touch her."

"You're right. Do it!"

After Murong Qingyu finished communicating with Xia Muwan, he didn't stay for a moment and immediately sneaked into the secret room and left. Xia Muwan, who looked lonely, was left alone to stare blankly at the place where Murong Qingyu left.

**************Wind and Cloud Meeting**************

In the Prince's Mansion, Murong Xiao and Qian Yeming had just finished bathing and were having a midnight snack in the study while discussing what happened in today's martial arts competition.

"My Lord, Madam, a blue firework appeared in the sky outside."

Qingfeng's voice sounded outside the door. Murong Xiao and Qian Yeming looked at each other and continued to eat their midnight snack.

"Are you going?"

"Go ahead. He rarely summons me personally."

"Then I'll accompany you."

Murong smiled and said, "No need. Don't worry, I'm just going to see him and will be back soon."

“No, I’m worried.
