Northwest, Shuocheng.
Shang Shaoyan looked at the letter in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and then handed it to Shang Yunlan: "Brother, now... Old Master Xin has a chess partner."
Shang Yunlan took it and read it once, then couldn't help but laugh: "This Zhao Ming is so stupid that even his advisors can't stand him."
This is a letter from Shengjing. The writer is Ye Cheng, one of Zhao Ming's advisors, who is over seventy years old.
This letter was very well written, showcasing his profound knowledge and exceptional talent. He listed all the ways he had helped Zhao Ming over the years, which is why the letter was five pages long.
Shang Yunlan tapped the table absentmindedly with her knuckles, pondered for a while, and then asked, "What does An'an think?"
Shang Shaoyan yawned lazily: "Of course, we'll bring him over—I'm not afraid of him turning against us. I'm confident I can completely bring him under my control, and I'll have people watching him. He won't be able to cause any trouble."
Shang Yunlan nodded: "I'll handle this matter later... By the way, you said you had something interesting to tell me, what is it? It's not just this, is it?"
Shang Shaoyan rolled his eyes: "What do you mean 'just this'? This is nothing new, okay? But I really didn't call you here for this..."
As Shang Shaoyan spoke, he smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you still remember Feng Xu?"
Shang Yunlan was taken aback, but quickly remembered the person: "Your first love?"
Shang Shaoyan nodded slightly: "It is him, but it is not him. He is now called Feng Chang, and he is a former subordinate of our parents... Do you understand? He is the second person to come into this world with his own body after Xie Huayin—brother, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
Shang Yunlan nearly choked on his own saliva. He asked incredulously, "Have we all transmigrated together?"
Shang Shaoyan: "..."
She glanced at Shang Yunlan speechlessly: "Use your brain—Xie Huayin and Feng Xu both came here with their original bodies, but what about us? We swapped bodies with the original owners... Do you understand? Ours is metaphysics, theirs is probably science."
Shang Yunlan twitched her lips: "A dream collaboration."
Shang Shaoyan: "..."
This is a god-speaker dream collaboration.
She glanced at Shang Yunlan and continued, "I don't know how they did it, but I'm sure they have big ambitions. Not to mention Xie Huayin causing trouble everywhere with her Blood Flower Palace, just looking at Feng Xu's sickly and obsessive face, I know they're no good!"
Upon hearing the phrase "yandere and obsessive," Shang Yunlan immediately asked with concern, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Shang Shaoyan glanced at Shang Yunlan, casually crushed the teacup in his hand into powder, and smiled brightly: "What do you think?"
Shang Yunlan: "...Sorry to bother you, it's nothing."
He paused, then asked, "Speaking of which, how is things on the Northern Zhou side?"
Mentioning this, Shang Shaoyan sighed deeply, glancing at Qiao Xiuyu, who was chatting and laughing with the soldiers outside the tent, with a complicated look in his eyes, and said in an indescribable tone: "Qilang... has a good older brother."
Shang Yunlan: "...?"
He pursed his lips and said, "Your brother isn't bad either."
Shang Shaoyan gave him a disgruntled look and then said, "In short, the new emperor of Northern Zhou has promised me that once I take over Southern Chen, he will pass away, and the new ruler of Northern Zhou will only be Qiao Xiuyu."
Shang Yunlan frowned: "What did you promise?"
Shang Shaoyan was silent for a moment, then smiled: "What do I need to promise? This world should rightfully be mine. I just don't want to fight. The rise and fall of dynasties always bring suffering to the people. So all I need to promise him is a prosperous era, a prosperous era that is even better than what he can achieve."
She paused, then added casually, "And my future crown prince or crown princess... I promised that the heir apparent will take my surname, and the other will take Qiao Xiuyu's. How about that, not bad, right?"
Shang Yunlan: "..."
He paused for a moment, then said cautiously, "But weren't you seriously injured in the battle against the Western Turks? You might have difficulty having children in the future, right?"
Shang Shaoyan looked at him in surprise: "Wasn't I just testing Qiao Xiuyu? Besides, with Lin Jing around, how could it be difficult to have children? Even if he can't cure it, can't you read a few more books in the library in your head and try to cure me?"
Shang Yunlan: "..."
He wiped his face and said, "Advising someone to study medicine is like being struck by lightning. If you want me dead, just say so. Don't beat around the bush."
Shang Shaoyan frowned as he looked at Shang Yunlan's resentful eyes: "What kind of look is that? I don't like it, take it back."
Shang Yunlan: "..."
Seeing this, Shang Shaoyan stopped teasing him and said sincerely, "I'm not married yet, and although I don't want children right now, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Anyway, don't worry, things will work out in the end. Right now, our most important thing is to govern the Northwest well; and when the time is right, we will conquer Southern Chen."
Shang Yunlan nodded, rubbing her chin, and after a while, she asked gossipily, "So, did Qiao Xiuyu... cough cough?"
Shang Shaoyan: "..."
She slapped Shang Yunlan on the back, annoyed. "What are you thinking? Qilang is a very proper person. He wouldn't want to treat me like that. Although I don't think it's neglecting me..."
Shang Yunlan: "..."
He was speechless: "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why did you hit me?"
Shang Shaoyan stomped her foot, a very cute and girlish gesture that actually looked quite nice on her, but unfortunately, Shang Yunlan was used to her fierceness and just felt uncomfortable all over: "Your stomping is so delicate, how old are you this year?"
