In the front-line military camp, when the commanders received the news of Emperor Yong'an's death, they felt dizzy.

The death of Emperor Yong'an at this time is really not good news.

At the same time as the front line received the news, Haru also received news that the Dongqing Kingdom's offensive became fiercer and the situation on the battlefield reversed.

However, the situation on the front battlefield is not as brutal as the fight between the princes.

On the night of Emperor Yong'an's death, the eldest prince died in the imperial garden in a miserable manner.

The death of the eldest prince did not attract the attention of the officials. Instead, it seemed like a Pandora's box switch was opened, triggering the battle for the throne.

When the palace was in chaos, Yunmeng found the imperial master. The imperial master was very happy to see Yunmeng appear.

When he heard that Yunmeng was arrested, the Imperial Master was worried for a while.

"Greetings, my master." The national teacher paid his respects with great ceremony.

"Stand up and talk." Yun Meng sat at the head of the table, looked at the Imperial Master and asked, "Did Haru give you any news?"

"Yes, Haru hopes that I can support the eldest prince to take the throne, but..." The Imperial Master spread his hands, "It's just that the eldest prince is too useless."

The Imperial Master did not expect that the eldest prince would die so soon. Before he could take any action, he received the news of the eldest prince's death.

Not only was the imperial master dumbfounded, but even the person who delivered the message was dumbfounded.

He was originally going to explain to the imperial teacher how to carry out the plan to seize the throne and how to cooperate with the bribed officials, but he ended up leaving in a hurry without finishing his words.

What else is there to explain? The eldest prince is dead, and their master can only find another suitable prince to cooperate with.

"Halu is good at choosing targets." Yunmeng sighed, "Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes."

"Master, do you have a target in mind?" the Imperial Master asked tentatively.

"You don't need to test me. My Qi Wang Mansion will not participate in this fight for the throne. Anyone can take the throne."

Yun Meng picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said leisurely: "As long as they don't attack the Qi Palace, it's okay to let him stay on the throne for two more years."

Hmm? The Imperial Master didn't expect Yun Meng to say such a thing. Thinking about the situation in Prince Qi's Mansion, the Imperial Master felt that it was understandable.

The Qi Palace will not get any benefits from its current situation, as the restrictions are too severe because the Crown Prince is too young.

It would be fine if he helped other princes to seize the throne, but if he failed to do so, the Prince of Qi's Mansion would be liquidated.

However, even if the country is seized, no one can enter or leave the court. Over time, the merits of following the dragon will disappear.

Well, it’s not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.

The Imperial Master thought he had guessed the truth and breathed a sigh of relief. If Yun Meng did not take action, she would still be able to wreak havoc on the Kingdom of Yan.

Even if you can't take direct action, it would be nice to provide some indirect guidance.

Anyway, it is impossible to ask the national teacher to show loyalty and goodwill to the State of Yan.

"Master, what brings you here this time?" the Imperial Master asked tentatively.

"Well, I just want to remind you not to continue to harm the loyal ministers and generals of Yan State, otherwise I will destroy you."

Yunmeng glanced at the Imperial Master and knew exactly what she was thinking. This trip was just to warn her.

The Imperial Master wanted to argue, but when he met Yun Meng's mocking gaze, he shut up instantly.

The Imperial Master finally remembered that his life depended on Yunmeng's thoughts. If she didn't want to die ugly, she had better be obedient.

You can't have any ulterior motives just because Yunmeng doesn't appear often.

Forget it, forget it, she should just be content.

After beating the imperial teacher, Yun Meng quietly left the palace and came to the Yun family.

The Yun family was also all white. It could be said that the entire Kyoto was all white. Now that the emperor was dead, which family dared to wear colorful clothes?

When Mrs. Yun saw Yun Meng appear, she was quite surprised, and her heart fell back into her stomach.

Although I knew Yunmeng would leave the team, I didn't say it would be so dangerous.

As soon as they entered the west, they were blocked on the mountain road and almost wiped out. After hearing the news, Mrs. Yun hasn't slept well since.

Yunying and his brothers wanted to go out of the capital to look for someone, but they couldn't get the imperial edict and couldn't leave the capital.

Emperor Yong'an didn't dare let the Yun family leave. What if they never came back?

What if they pass the message to the Northwest?

Now the news is still being kept secret in the Northwest for fear that Lord Yun will get wind of the news and rebel.

The situation had already gotten so bad, and Emperor Yong'an didn't want it to get any worse, so he was taking every precaution he could.

Madam Yun pulled Yun Meng into the room, then went out to check around. After making sure no one had noticed, she asked in a low voice:

"How did you get back? Aren't there strict checks at the city gate?"

"I walked in." Yun Meng blinked and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, mother. Going in and out of the city is not a problem for Prince Qi's Mansion."

"Hmm? There is that." Madam Yun pointed outside the city and made a crawling motion. Seeing Yun Meng nod, Madam Yun took a breath.

Oh my god, there is actually a secret passage leading out of the city. The Prince Qi’s Mansion is really well hidden.

"You're not in the West, why are you back in Beijing?" Madam Yun thought for a moment, pointed in the direction of the palace and asked, "Are you involved?"

Does that mean you participated in the murder of Emperor Yong'an? Madam Yun was also afraid that Yunmeng would be involved in the battle for the throne.

"Don't worry, mother. I have never done anything like regicide. I was also surprised by Emperor Yong'an's death."

Yun Meng picked up the snacks on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. Seeing Madam Yun sighing with relief, she immediately found it funny and couldn't help asking:

"Are you as unreliable as I am?"

"That's not the case. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to get over it. After all, Emperor Yong'an did go too far."

Madam Yun sighed sadly, "I don't know how your father is settling in the northwest, and I don't know what the new emperor's attitude is towards the Northwest Army."

"Can the current situation be any worse than this?" Yun Meng patted Madam Yun's hand and consoled her:

"Mother, don't worry about the situation in the northwest. Father is not an ordinary person. He is doing very well in the northwest now."

Hearing Yun Meng say this, Madam Yun became alert and quickly asked about the situation in the northwest. Now there were people watching them inside and outside the Yun Mansion, so it was difficult to send or receive news.

Unless Emperor Yong'an wants them to know, it would be difficult to get more information.

Madam Yun also thought about whether to take the risk of using secret agents to pass the message, but there were only a limited number of secret agents, and if one was used, there would be one less.

Madam Yun wanted to use the hidden chess piece at the critical moment, so she could only choose to be a deaf person.

It can be said that Yunmeng’s appearance really solved Mrs. Yun’s big problem.

Yun Meng did not hide it. Although she did not go to the northwest in person, the secret guards sent her messages, so she naturally knew the situation there.

Lord Yun kept half of the food and fodder that Yunmeng sent last time, and gave the remaining half to Marshal Lu and his men as food.

With the remaining half of the food, the food problem was solved directly. Lord Yun was not the kind of person who would just eat and wait for death.

With more food and supplies, he was more confident and led his army to sweep around the border town.

He targeted all the tribes, big or small, that had attacked the border towns and surrounding villages of Yan State. It was really a case of never too late to settle the accounts.
