The lady will be anxious.
During a change of imperial power, one might survive by not taking sides and avoiding offending anyone.
However, once the throne changes hands, you won't get any of the benefits.
Song Hao's position as Minister of War was already precarious, let alone any further advancement.
Otherwise, why would so many people rush to claim the credit for supporting the emperor?
Prince Yu's momentum has been unstoppable in recent years, and now the Mighty General's Mansion is like adding wings to a tiger.
In terms of ability, Prince Yu was also superior to the other princes.
Song Hao believed that betting on Prince Yu would not be a loss.
Of course, this cannot be said openly.
"Madam, please don't worry. I think that Young Master Yan is much better now. He will surely achieve great things in the Northwest," Song Hao comforted her. "Besides, with General Wei Wu looking after him, he will be safe and sound."
Madam Song felt a little relieved, then asked, "What about the marriage? Let's find an opportunity to bring it up with Madam Yan as soon as possible."
Song Hao nodded. "I have my own plan for this matter. Just do as I say." He secretly calculated that although he couldn't openly side with Prince Yu yet, he could first try to build a closer relationship with the Yan family. When the time was right, he would then express his true feelings to Prince Yu.
However, Song Hao was unaware that his suggestion almost cost Prince Yan his life.

Yan and An went to hand over their responsibilities to Commander Li.
Commander Li congratulated Prince Yan with a forced smile.
Yan Yu'an looked at him.
I remember the first time I came to work under Commander Li.
Commander Li disliked him in every way.
He's just a scion of a powerful family who was parachuted in.
Later, it turned out that Prince Yan's performance was not as bad as Commander Li had imagined.
He was always the first to arrive for duty every day, and except for his days off, he spent almost all his time in the palace.
The key point is that his martial arts skills are also quite good.
It can rival rivers.
However, neither of them ever considered the other a rival.
What puzzled Commander Li was that Prince Yan treated Jiang He almost like an older brother.
They took meticulous care of me.
Jiang He felt somewhat unworthy of such praise.
No matter what good news it was, Yan Yu'an's first thought was Jiang He.
Yan Yu'an was happier than anyone else when Jiang He was promoted to deputy commander. His actions made Jiang He feel unworthy of the position.
Yan Yu'an never cared; as long as it was good for Jianghe, he would support it unconditionally.
These things surprised Commander Li, but he had seen them many times before, so he wasn't surprised anymore.
Those who don't know Yan Yu'an would see that his actions are nothing like those of a military general.
For example, Yan Yu'an was on duty when he suddenly heard a commotion. He went to investigate and found that several palace maids were bullying a young eunuch.
Yan Yu'an immediately stepped forward to stop the palace maids and saved the little eunuch.
The young eunuch was moved to tears and knelt on the ground, repeatedly expressing his gratitude. Yan Yu'an helped him up and asked what had happened. The young eunuch tearfully recounted that he had accidentally soiled the palace maids' clothes and had been bullied by them ever since.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu'an was furious. He turned to the palace maids and shouted, "Do you have no compassion at all, bullying the weak like this?" The palace maids were so frightened that they lowered their heads and remained silent.
But no one was convinced.
They are not bullying the weak.
Those nasty eunuchs groped them; it was absolutely disgusting.
Having encountered this honest little eunuch today, I'm naturally going to vent my anger.
Yan Yu'an knew that there were always some injustices in the deep palace.
However, many people pretend not to see it for fear of offending others.
Yan Yu'an, however, could not tolerate this kind of bullying.
He turned to the young eunuch and said, "You don't need to be afraid. If anyone bullies you again, just come to me." The young eunuch was deeply moved and knelt down to kowtow again.
This scene was witnessed by Commander Li, who happened to be passing by, and he couldn't help but feel more admiration for Yan Yu'an.
In the palace, the motto for most people is "it's better to avoid trouble."
In the palace, even a lowly palace maid might not know who her powerful backer is.
Yan and An didn't care about these things; everything in the world boils down to black and white.
Whether it's a palace maid or a eunuch, it's wrong to bully the weak.
No matter who is standing behind them, Yan Yu'an will not be intimidated.
After this incident, Commander Li's initial prejudice against Yan Yu'an gradually disappeared.
Yan Yu'an's purity is admirable.
Now, upon hearing that Yan Yu'an was going to the Northwest, Commander Li was genuinely happy for him.
If you want to get ahead, there's no faster way than going to the battlefield.
Although swords and spears have no eyes, what does it matter if a man sacrifices his life to protect his country?
This is the true spirit of a military commander.
"We'll be waiting for your triumphant return!" Commander Li stretched out his hand, and the two fists collided.
"Yes! Definitely!" The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go back! Get a good night's sleep tonight, we still have a long journey ahead tomorrow." Commander Li realized he was being a bit long-winded.
However, he couldn't help but give a few more instructions.
Yan Yu'an was walking on the palace road when a young eunuch ran up to him.
"Your Highness, please wait!" A shrill voice called after Yan Yu'an.
The young eunuch was covered in sweat.
Yan Yu'an recognized the man; he was the young eunuch he had once saved.
Yan Yu'an found it strange that this little eunuch was so well-informed, knowing so quickly that he was leaving the capital.
Even a young eunuch can be grateful.
Yan Yu'an saved him because he saw that Yan Yu'an was only protecting his head and not fighting back.
Although the eunuchs were not entirely male, their strength far surpassed that of the palace maids.
If he hits back hard, he might scare the palace maid away.
Later, Yan Yu'an also asked him why he didn't fight back.
