Mengbao glared at He Yunxiao, then gently gestured with her lip towards the empty seat next to her.
He Yunxiao touched his nose and quickly sat down next to Mengbao.
The story begins a long, long time ago.
Before the rivalry between the states of Qi and Yan, the land of Kyushu was under the rule of Yan. Later, Yan experienced turmoil, and the ancestors of Qi launched a northern expedition, thus establishing the situation of Northern Yan and Southern Qi. But before the Great Yan, there was another dynasty called "Song".
The Song Dynasty perished because of its pursuit of immortality through cultivation, but the remnants of the Song Dynasty have never disappeared. They continue to pursue immortality, which is the origin of the "Song Immortal Gathering".
There are even rumors that Yan was able to destroy Song with the help of the "Song Immortal Gathering," and Qi was able to destroy Yan with the help of the "Song Immortal Gathering."
The character “Song” is derived from the combination of “treasure” and “wood”. The character “Li” in the Great Yan dynasty is half of “Song”. And the character “Meng” in the Great Qi dynasty is half of “Li”.

“My mother told me that hundreds of years ago, the relationship between Song and Yan was just like that between Qi and Yan today, facing each other across mountains,” Meng Qingqian sighed.
Li Xiangjun knew some of the secrets of the state, but clearly not as much as the Empress Dowager. However, as the Emperor of Yan, she was also good at grasping the key points. "So, why did Song Xianhui create the current situation of confrontation between the North and the South?"
“Dragon veins,” Mengbao said. “Watering dragon veins with fresh blood can yield the water of immortality.”
The so-called dragon vein is the mountain range that divides Qi and Yan.
Li Xiangjun's eyes narrowed, and she said, "Ten years ago, the Qi Emperor, in the prime of his life, suddenly died, and his general Chu Tianzhu and his entire family were executed..."
Mengbao explained, "Ten years ago, Qi was strong and Yan was weak. Qi had the potential to unify the world. Song Xian would not allow the world to be at peace. Father and General Chu had no way out."
Li Xiangjun suddenly smiled and said, "Father and Mother, you must have been quite familiar with the late Emperor of Qi, right?"
He Yunxiao was completely confused. "Xiangjun, how did you know that?"
Li Xiangjun scoffed, "Xiaolang, twins born at the same time, both holding high positions in two countries, don't you think that's quite a coincidence?"
Li Xiangjun's use of the word "Xiaolang" made many of the leading ladies look uncomfortable.
He Yunxiao understood a little. He said, "You mean... you and Mengbao were both set up?"
"Who is Meng~Bao~?" Li Xiangjun teased.
He Yunxiao looked embarrassed: "That's not the point..."
Meng Qingqian blushed and lowered her head in front of everyone after He Yunxiao called her by a nickname, and remained silent.
Ruobao scoffed, "Hmph, my husband sees things clearly. He doesn't act unless he's absolutely sure, but from the moment he's born, he's already holding the lifeline of both nations in his hands."
Seeing that He Yunxiao was about to be surrounded, Chu Chu said indifferently, "No matter what you have done, I will be here."
Nanzhu looked completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
Master Bai silently watched He Yunxiao, waiting for him to speak.
Nangong Yu'er pretended to be invisible.
Du Meimei, on the other hand, has always been lazy and unproductive.
Finally, Sister Jiang stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Whether Qi and Yan can reconcile and thwart Song Xianhui's conspiracy depends entirely on the two lords."
Meng Qingqian looked at her older sister and said, "Mother wants to see you."
Li Xiangjun said bluntly, "I can't leave."
"As long as I'm here, you can leave."
Li Xiangjun remained silent.
He Yunxiao secretly tugged at Mengbao's sleeve and said, "Mengbao, it's been so long, I missed you so much."
Meng Qingqian's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said reproachfully, "Look what you've done! I'll settle the score with you later!"
