"My lord, what do we do now?" Yan Jing looked at Nangong Xu for help.
Nangong Xu stood by the window, seemingly watching the clouds drift across the sky, but if you looked closely, you could see that his pupils were unfocused; he was thinking about something.
Yan Jing called out several times, but Nangong Xu did not answer. He then shouted, "My lord!"
Nangong Xu snapped out of his daze and gave Yan Jing a cold glance.
Yan Jing shrank back, then asked in a low voice, "My lord, what do we do now?"
Nangong Xu pursed his lips. He hadn't expected Ranran to come up with such a move, and he was completely stumped.
"My lord, why don't we send a few experts to kill Yun Qingran?" Yan Jingyi said, determined to go all the way.
"You dare." Upon hearing this, Nangong Xu's face suddenly darkened, his body enveloped in a sinister aura, radiating a chilling killing intent.
Yan Jing shivered violently. Although his lord had always been a cold person, this was the first time he had seen him like this.
Nangong Xu reached out with his large, well-defined hand and grabbed Yan Jing's neck, saying in a chilling tone, "Yan Jing, let me warn you, if you dare to lay a finger on Yun Qingran, forget about the throne of Western Yan, you won't even have a dog's life left."
"Yes...yes, yes." Yan Jing's vision was blurry from being pinched, so he could only nod vigorously in agreement.
Nangong Xu flung him away, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "Let Yun Qingran enter the city."
"Cough cough cough... Ah, let Yun Qingran into the city!" Yan Jing said in surprise while coughing.
“Yes, let her enter the city alone,” Nangong Xu said.
"Why let her in? We can't touch her." Although Yan Jing muttered, he still immediately sent someone to let Yun Qingran into the city.
"Princess Rongchang, His Highness Yan Jing invites you into the city." A young eunuch came out of the city and respectfully invited Yun Qingran into the city.
"We can go into the city now." Yun Qingbi was overjoyed when she heard the news.
"Our Highness said that only Princess Rongchang can enter the city, and the rest of the people must remain outside the city," the little eunuch said to Yun Qingbi.
“No way,” Yun Qingbi immediately objected.
The Western Yan is now under the control of Yan Jing, who is now an enemy of Ran Ran. It would be too dangerous for Ran Ran to enter the city alone.
"Princess Rongchang, will you go in or not?" the little eunuch asked Yun Qingran.
Yun Qingran thought for a moment, then looked up at the little eunuch and said, "This princess will go into the city with you."
"Ranran, no." Yun Qingbi reached out and grabbed Yun Qingran.
"Brother, Yan Jing wouldn't dare do anything to me, so don't worry," Yun Qingran reassured him.
“Yan Jing wouldn’t dare do anything to you, but what about Nangong Xu? He’s definitely in the city. Letting you go in alone might have been his idea,” Yun Qingbi said in a low voice.
Yun Qingran had already thought of this, but entering the city was the only way to break the deadlock; otherwise, the stalemate would continue indefinitely.
Shuangshuang is not only her good friend, but also her older brother's sweetheart. She must fight for her.
“Nangong Xu won’t hurt me; at most, he’ll just pester me,” Yun Qingran said to Yun Qingbi.
"Ranran, your brother still doesn't want you to go." Yun Qingbi sighed.
He desperately wanted to save Princess Zhaohua, but he also didn't want his sister to be in danger.
"Brother, don't worry, everything will be alright." Yun Qingran pulled Yun Qingbi's hand away and entered the city with the little eunuch.
Watching her younger sister disappear into the city, Yun Qingbi clenched her fists tightly, her heart pounding with worry.
Yun Qingran followed the eunuch into the city in a carriage. They arrived at the palace, where a commotion arose outside. Lifting the curtain, she saw that the Yan Palace was completely surrounded by people.
"What's wrong?" Yun Qingran asked the little eunuch.
"It's all thanks to you." The little eunuch glanced at her.
Yun Qingran grinned and touched her nose. The people of Yanjing were even more loyal to Shuangshuang than she had imagined.
Upon entering the Yan Palace, one is struck by its exquisite and magnificent design, incorporating elements of grassland style, much like a beautiful woman with exotic charm. Yun Qingran marvels at the sight.
As she looked around, Yun Qingran spotted a familiar face, "Zhao Xingyun."
As Zhao Xingyun was walking, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He looked around but couldn't see who was calling him.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the curtain of a carriage not far away being lifted, revealing a beautiful and unparalleled face, a bright and cheerful smile, and mischievous and clever eyes. Who else could it be but Miss Yun?
Zhao Xingyun got angry and turned to run away.
Yun Qingran ran down from the carriage and caught up with him in a few strides, blocking his way.
Zhao Xingyun quickly covered her face with her hands, "You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm not Zhao Xingyun."
Yun Qingran pulled his hand down. "No need to argue anymore. I already know that your master, Wuyuan, is Nangong Xu."
"Ah, you already knew!" Zhao Xingyun looked at Yun Qingran in shock.
"Hmm." Yun Qingran nodded with her arms crossed, then asked him, "Have you fallen out of favor? How come you don't even know about this?"
Zhao Xingyun was Nangong Xu's personal guard, just like Jun Molin and Pei Chen. But surprisingly, he didn't know that Wuyuan was Nangong Xu!
“Who said I’ve fallen out of favor? The Lord sent me to do something very important. I’ve only been away for a while,” Zhao Xingyun immediately retorted.
"Oh, I don't believe you unless you tell me what you went to do." Yun Qingran shook her head, arms crossed.
"I'm going to Daheishan..." Zhao Xingyun said five words and quickly covered his mouth.
"What are you going to Daheishan for?" Yun Qingran moved closer to Zhao Xingyun, looking at him with a deep gaze.
"Nothing much, just going for a stroll. I need to report back to my lord now. Farewell, Miss Yun." Zhao Xingyun said, then quickly turned and ran off.
This Miss Yun is toxic; she almost led me astray.
As Yun Qingran watched Zhao Xingyun's fleeing figure, a shadow crossed her eyes.
She had heard Xuanling mention Daheishan Mountain, where there were many Miao villages, and ancient witchcraft practices remained in these villages.
Was Zhao Xingyun sent to the Miao village to search for some kind of witchcraft?
"Princess Rongchang, let's go," the little eunuch urged Yun Qingran.
Yun Qingran nodded, got back into the carriage, and arrived at Chaoyang Palace.
“Princess Rongchang, we meet again.” Yan Jing looked at Yun Qingran’s face, his eyes filled with amazement.
Princess Rongchang is truly a woman of heavenly beauty!
"Your Highness." Yun Qingran nodded slightly.
"Princess Rongchang, you have some impressive skills." After his initial amazement, Yan Jing sneered. If it weren't for her, the people of Yanjing wouldn't have surrounded the Yan Palace, putting him in such a passive position.
"You flatter me, you flatter me." Yun Qingran chuckled.
"Hmph." Yan Jing snorted coldly, "What exactly do you want to do?"
“I have already said that I want to see Princess Zhaohua,” Yun Qingran said.
"If you see her, you'll leave with the Northern Yin's troops?" Yan Jing asked.
"Perhaps." Yun Qingran shrugged.
