"Eunuch Wei, what terrible thing has happened?" Yun Qingran hurriedly asked Eunuch Wei.
"The Western Yan is in turmoil," Eunuch Wei clicked his tongue.
"Ah! There's internal strife in Western Yan." Yun Qingran immediately thought of her good friend Yan Shuangshuang. "How is Princess Zhaohua? Is she safe?"
"I don't know." Eunuch Wei bowed. "I'm sorry, Princess Rongchang, but I'm here to inform Marquis Zhen'an to enter the palace. I shouldn't stay any longer."
"Alright, go ahead, my father is at the manor." Yun Qingran nodded.
"Ranran, I'll be going now. If you need anything, have your maid find me at the Grand Tutor's residence." Qin Wan said, taking her leave as she knew there was business at the Marquis of Zhen'an's residence and didn't want to disturb him.
"Okay, Wanwan, be careful on your way." Yun Qingran nodded to her.
After watching Qin Wan walk a short distance away, she lifted her skirt and hurried back, heading straight for Yun Qingbi's room.
"Bang!" He kicked open Yun Qingbi's door.
Yun Qingbi was changing clothes when she was startled and quickly wrapped herself tightly in her inner garment. She said, embarrassed and annoyed, "Yun Qingran, can't you knock before entering? Aren't you afraid of seeing something you shouldn't?"
"I'm not afraid." Yun Qingran shook her head.
Yun Qingbi: ...
“His Highness the Northern Cold King is truly a benefactor to our Yun family,” Yun Qingbi said.
"Why is Jun Molin our Yun family's benefactor?" Yun Qingran asked curiously.
"Because he married you. If he hadn't married you, wouldn't you have been stuck with us?" Yun Qingbi said with a chuckle.
"Yun Qingbi, you scoundrel, take this punch!" Yun Qingran clenched her fist and was about to smash it at him.
One attacks, the other blocks; the epic battle between siblings begins.
After playing for a while, Yun Qingran slapped her forehead and said, "Oh dear, I almost forgot about something important because of you."
"What's the big deal?" Yun Qingbi asked, still dressed.
"The Western Yan is in turmoil," Yun Qingran said.
"What!" Yun Qingbi stood up abruptly, her untied clothes belt coming undone, revealing her eight-pack abs.
"Xigou, when did you develop eight-pack abs?" Yun Qingran's eyes lit up when she saw the eight-pack abs.
“A few days ago,” Yun Qingbi answered her question casually, then asked urgently, “Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?”
"I don't know either. I just happened to run into Eunuch Wei when he came looking for my father to come to the palace. He told me about it," Yun Qingran said honestly.
"Let's go find Father." Yun Qingbi casually threw on an outer robe and ran outside.
As soon as she ran into the courtyard, she encountered Yunxiao and Eunuch Wei walking out.
"Eunuch Wei." Yun Qingbi immediately stopped and bowed to Eunuch Wei.
"Young Master," Eunuch Wei returned the greeting.
"Eunuch Wei, it's so late, why are you still going to the palace? Is something wrong?" Yun Qingbi asked.
Princess Rongchang is about to marry His Highness the Prince of Beihan. We are all family. Eunuch Wei did not hide anything from Yun Qingbi and replied, "There is internal strife in Western Yan."
Upon confirming the news, Yun Qingbi's face paled, and she swayed.
"Eunuch Wei, Father, can my brother and I go to the palace with you?" Yun Qingran asked.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go." Eunuch Wei nodded and urged.
The four men rode horses and soon arrived at the palace.
Along the way, they also encountered other important officials of the imperial court, and together they arrived at the Wolong Palace.
"My dear ministers, I have summoned you here so late at night because I have important matters to discuss," the Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, is it about the internal strife in Western Yan?" Liang Xiangzhi asked.
"Yes, according to the news sent back by our spies in Western Yan, Yan Jing has rebelled." The Emperor said, handing the secret letter in his hand to a young eunuch beside him. The young eunuch took the letter, stepped down, and handed it to Liang Xiangzhi.
Liang Xiangzhi opened it and looked at it, then handed it to the adults behind him. The secret letter was passed on until it finally reached Yun Qingran and Yun Qingbi.
As Yun Qingran read the contents of the letter, her heart sank. The Emperor of Yan was seriously ill, Yan Jing had rebelled, and the Crown Princess Yan Shuangshuang had been taken into his control.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Yun Qingran noticed that Yun Qingbi was swaying and quickly supported him.
"I'm fine." Yun Qingbi waved her hand, forcing herself to suppress her discomfort.
"My esteemed ministers, what do you think our Northern Yin should do?" the Emperor asked, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"I believe we should send troops to help Yan Jing ascend the throne. If Yan Jing becomes emperor with our help, we will have a voice in Western Yan. At that time, we will truly be the only dominant power among the four kingdoms," Liang Xiangzhi stepped forward and said.
“No.” Yun Qingbi immediately stepped forward, rejecting Liang Xiangzhi’s words.
Everyone present looked at him, especially Liang Xiangzhi, whose eyes were cold and piercing.
"Bi'er." Yunxiao called out softly to Yun Qingbi, signaling him not to act impulsively.
Yun Qingran tugged at his sleeve. Although her older brother was not old, he had always been very steady. Why was he acting so strangely today?
"Minister Yun, what are your thoughts?" the Emperor asked Yun Qingbi gently.
This is my son's future maternal uncle; I'm trying to make a good impression on him beforehand.
“Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua is the Crown Princess and the future Empress of Yan. She is currently trapped by rebels. We should help her out of both compassion and reason. How can we help rebels?” Yun Qingbi said logically and persuasively.
"Minister Yun, Princess Zhaohua is only the Crown Princess, not the Empress. Yan Jing is a prince of Yan, not a rebel. Their dispute is a struggle for the throne. It's perfectly fine for us to help Yan Jing without interfering." Liang Xiangzhi glanced at Yun Qingbi, his tone leisurely.
“Prime Minister Liang is right. Besides, in ancient times, there was no such thing as a woman becoming emperor. It is unreasonable for Princess Zhaohua, a woman, to be made crown princess.” A minister stood up to support him.
