"Wh-what?"
Helian Si murmured in a daze, raising his eyes to look at Nanrong Jinghua, still somewhat disbelieving in his heart.
"So, so the immortal brother is actually a member of the royal family? No, why has no one ever told me this before?"
She always thought that "Fairy Brother" was at most a son of an official family with some status in Dongchen.
"Si Bei Tao Hua is the heir of Dong Chen. The reason I didn't tell you is probably because I didn't want you to get too involved in these matters."
There have never been truly friendly relations between dynasties; from ancient times to the present, the struggle for territory and power has never ceased.
Helian Si opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then he didn't know what to say. A lump formed in his throat, and he felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Nan Rong Jinghua noticed Helian Si's emotional fluctuations, sighed softly in her heart, and gently squeezed Helian Si's palm.
"The relationship between Empress Dongchen and Si Beitaohua is very good. Even if the Emperor lets Si Beitaohua go, Si Beitaohua will still pester Bei Yin endlessly in order to avenge Empress Dongchen."
While it's fine to let Ah Sheng keep things simple, there are some things Ah Sheng should know.
Helian Si lowered his eyelids slightly, his long, curled eyelashes trembling. The hand he had been holding beneath his sleeve slowly loosened, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart.
She understood the importance of eliminating the root of the problem. She could understand her father's decision; if it were her, she would have made the same choice. But she truly disliked separation and death, she really, really disliked it.
"Okay, let's not think about this anymore."
Nanrong Jinghua pulled Helian Si into her arms, gently comforting him. Helian Si hugged Nanrong Jinghua back, nestling into her embrace.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears. What was wrong with her? She really hated growing up.
As the autumn wind rises, the late autumn brings a sense of desolation.

night,
"I heard that the Emperor of Beiyin is personally leading the expedition and has entrusted the affairs of the capital to the Crown Prince for the time being. I would like to congratulate the Crown Prince in advance."
In the pitch-black autumn night, where not a finger could be seen in front of one's face, beneath the black cloak, Helian Yi's gentle and refined face was shrouded in shadow.
Si Beilingyuan wore a perfectly measured smile. Even after being confined to the post station for several days, her inherent elegance and nobility, honed by her long-held position as Empress, remained undiminished.
"No need."
Upon hearing this news, it would be a lie to say he wasn't taken aback. Firstly, he couldn't understand why Helian Nie would personally lead the army.
Secondly, Helian Cili should have been the most suitable temporary replacement, but it turned out to be himself.
"Has the Crown Prince softened his stance? If so, then let's pretend that what we discussed never happened. Don't worry, I won't mention it to anyone."
Si Beiling spoke softly, her beautiful eyes looking at Helian Yi, her words sincere, as if she genuinely cared for Helian Yi.
Helian Yi stared directly at Si Beiling Yuan with his dark eyes. His usually warm voice was now extremely cold, carrying a chilling quality that could pierce through one's heart.
"You don't need to constantly try to read my mind. My relationship with you is nothing more than a transaction."
"The Crown Prince is right; I was presumptuous and offended him." Si Beilingyuan wasn't annoyed; she smiled slightly.
"Since the Emperor of Beiyin has personally led the expedition and entrusted you with the temporary management of the court, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Crown Prince."
“If the Northern Yin Emperor dies in this battle, Your Highness, you can use your maternal grandfather’s influence in the court, as well as your status as a prince, to help him.”
“This alone is enough for the eldest prince to sit on the throne of Bei Yin,” Si Bei Ling Yuan said slowly, word by word.
