"His Majesty is a person who values filial piety, and he has always done so very well. When he first ascended the throne, he was actually a bit illegitimate. He was the second prince. The eldest prince was framed by his advisors and made a mistake, so the late emperor took away his right to succeed to the throne. He later died of illness, and the subsequent princes were also incompetent. That's how our emperor came to power."
"After he ascended the throne, in order to gain the praise of the people, he created a persona of filial piety for himself. However, he has always done a good job. Over the years, he has been very filial to the Empress Dowager, so people no longer mention what happened back then. Many people use the Emperor's filial piety to spur themselves on."

"I see." Li Mai nodded, and with a thought, she put away the gold medal. She smiled and bowed to Yun Chang, "Thank you for your protection, elder brother."
Yun Chang smiled and waved her hand, "No need to thank me. My brother also has something to ask of you. At the end of January, he will lead his troops to conquer Chen.

"Oh, okay, I'll probably be going back after the Lantern Festival."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take you back," Yun Chang agreed.
Li Mai nodded, pondering how she could help her older brother who was going to the battlefield.
"By the way, when you go to the battlefield, take that pot of spiritual herbs with you. It can help you cultivate and save your life in critical moments. I'll also prepare some antidote pills and spiritual spring water for you so you can come back alive without any problem," Li Mai instructed him.
"Okay!" Yun Chang looked at her, smiled, and turned her head away.
They are not relatives, but they are closer than relatives.
