The Imperial Kingdom’s imperial palace.

Nalan Cui looked at the memorials on the table. These were all the memorials from the ministers who were panicked after they had found out Gu Ruoyun was indeed not in the Imperial Kingdom. They were seeking Nalan Cui’s decision and none of them could think of a solution. He said, “These ministers are really good for nothing.”

Yuyan asked from the side, “Is Guang Pingwang really trapped in the Southern Kingdom?”

Nalan Cui looked at him and said, “What do you think?”

Yuyan shook his head and said, “Even if Guang Pingwang really went to the Southern Kingdom, he wouldn’t be trapped.”

Nalan Cui smiled and said, “That’s right. The strength of Guang Pingwang is not something that the small Southern Kingdom can trap.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His tone didn’t sound good. Yuyan frowned and felt that Nalan Cui’s condition was not quite right.

As expected, he continued, “Yuyan, I want to personally lead the troops.”

Yuyan turned pale with fright, “Your Majesty, you mustn’t.”

Nalan Cui asked, “Why not? He, Gu Ruoyun, can go to war at the age of twelve. Why can’t I?”

Yuyan could not refute his words. He looked at the young emperor before him and bowed, “Your humble servant is willing to follow Your Majesty.”

The two looked at each other and the sunlight shone through the window onto their bodies, creating a light spot.

The Southern Kingdom had sent troops to attack the Imperial Kingdom. The Imperial Kingdom’s new emperor had personally led the expedition. These two pieces of news quickly spread throughout the entire mainland.

Nalan Cui had not let down Gu Ruoyun’s teachings during this period of time. Although this was his first time on the battlefield, his fearless attitude and his trustworthy military tactics had convinced the soldiers at the border.

When the Southern Kingdom sent troops to the Imperial Kingdom, Gu Ruoyun had already escaped from the dungeon with Su Yan.

This dungeon could not trap him at all. Anyone could see this clearly. Only Jin Feichen, who was deeply immersed in Rong Zhi’s brainwash, could not understand it. She was dreaming of unifying the mainland.

Even if Gu Ruoyun was not in the Imperial Kingdom, but the strategic deployment left behind by him at the border would not be easily conquered by the Southern Kingdom in a short period of time.

Jin Feichen slowly sensed that something was not right. She paced back and forth in the great hall and asked uneasily, “Rong Zhi, isn’t this decision a little risky?”

Rong Zhi did not comfort her in his usual gentle voice. Instead, he smiled and said, “Yes, Your Majesty is indeed taking too much risk this time.”

Jin Feichen was shocked. She raised her head to look at him and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Rong Zhi’s smile faded and he said coldly, “Your Majesty has taken most of the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom to attack the Imperial Kingdom.”

Only then did Jin Feichen realize how daring her actions were. At this time, if anyone attacked the Southern Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom would definitely fall. However, this decision was instigated by Rong Zhi.

Jin Feichen was naturally not a stupid person since she was able to become the empress of the Southern Kingdom. She understood everything in an instant and asked, “Who exactly are you?”

The hatred in Rong Zhi’s eyes was no longer hidden. He said, “Your parents used tricks to take our Qi Kingdom for themselves. When they turned it into the Southern Kingdom, they should have known that such a day would come.”

Jin Feichen looked at him in shock and said, “You’re from the Qi Kingdom?”

Thinking of the boy who had escaped back then, her face turned even paler. She said, “The Seventh Prince of the Qi Kingdom, Qi Rong.”

Rong Zhi looked at her coldly and confirmed her thoughts.

Jin Feichen smiled bitterly while looking at him deeply. He said, “No wonder, I find you familiar. So that’s it… That’s it…”

She raised her head and laughed loudly as she kept repeating these words.

Rong Zhi felt that it was strange, but he did not think too much about it. However, he regretted it for the rest of his life because of this oversight.

Jin Feichen suddenly put away the smile on his face and said, “Don’t forget that I still have the Royal Secret Guard.”

Rong Zhi’s expression did not change.. He gently clapped his hands and a group of black-clothed people entered the palace.
