There was a sudden commotion outside the palace.

"What happened?" Jiang Huairong asked with a slightly frown.

Qi Guanyan subconsciously held her in his arms, thought for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those Frost Eagle Guards should have remembered their memories and realized that I am not their king."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Huairong suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She suddenly remembered the Beiyuan hostage sent to Dawei last year. "You two brothers are the only ones left in your Beiyuan Snow Wolf clan. Could it be that he..."

Qi Guanyan closed his eyes and nodded.

The mother of the two brothers was the chief of the Northern Plains Snow Wolf Clan and also the last member of the Snow Wolf Clan.

And it was their father who ordered the elimination of the Snow Wolf Clan, who had been loyal to Beiyuan since ancient times, in order to consolidate his throne and power.

After the mother survived, the first thing she did was to transform into a human and enter the palace to seek revenge.

At that time, the previous King of Beiyuan missed his deceased wife and accidentally met a woman who looked very similar to him. He soon fell in love with her.

Qi Guanyan didn't know what happened between the elders, he only knew that his mother had never thought of abandoning them.

They were not expected children, but were always carefully cared for by their mother.

It was not until later when his father died that he passed the throne to Qi Guanyan's brother.

But apart from his poor health, the young Qi Guanyan was superior to the eldest prince in every way.

The eldest prince was very worried, and in the year his mother died, he sent people to assassinate Qi Guanyan. It was not until Qi Guanyan hid in Dawei that the eldest prince's people dared not offend him.

This is how Jiang Huairong found Qi Guanyan, who was still a young wolf cub, in his own yard.

Later, Qi Guanyan returned to Beiyuan and disguised himself as a non-confrontational person, but in fact he had been secretly building up his own power.

Once, a man dressed in Xiliang clothes and looking like a sorcerer took him into a long-abandoned underground palace, and turned it into a mysterious and extraordinary place, with a snow pool, through which one could glimpse something that others could not see.

She told him that these things could help him get everything he wanted, including people.

But Qi Guanyan needs to pay a price: no matter what he gets in the future, he must give what a woman named Li Qingqian wants when she comes to Beiyuan.

Qi Guanyan agreed.

However, after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he colluded with a wealthy family and assassinated the young master of the Dawei Li family after he won a victory in Xiliang.

Qi Guanyan did not forget the kindness shown him in the past. He dug out a piece of ice crystal from the ice and when the new king was about to send him to the Central Plains as a hostage, he exchanged their identities.

Let the people of Beiyuan only remember that Qi Guanyan is the new king of Beiyuan, and the eldest prince will soon be sent to Dawei as a hostage.

The people of Beiyuan knew that once they were sent to Dawei as hostages, even if the eldest prince wanted to seize the throne of the new king in the future, it would be futile and impossible.

So no one will rescue him, just pretend he doesn't exist.

"Why did they remember it again?" Jiang Huairong felt worried for Qi Guanyan.

"Humph, most likely your royal brother released him."

Jiang Huairong was silent for another moment, and then she felt a little chilled: "So it is impossible that my brother didn't know that Li Qingqian and his wife came to Beiyuan. He wanted you, your brother, and the couple to fight to the death. But Qi Guanyan, I am still in Beiyuan."

Jiang Huaijing used to say that she was his most beloved sister and that they were born of the same mother, but now she had become a pawn in the hands of the other party.

"From the beginning, he insisted on sending me to Beiyuan with this in mind. He released your brother and acted like a good person in front of the world. Before, Dawei and Beiyuan had made peace, and everyone knew about it. He knew that you wouldn't be able to do anything."

"Whether you win or lose, it's Beiyuan's business. He is sure that you can't confront Zhongyuan, which will make those two fence-sitters turn to Dawei, which is a good thing for Dawei. He doesn't know that you like me, and he knows in his heart that you have reasons to kill me to vent your anger."

"He just wants to stir up trouble, and after causing chaos in Beiyuan, he will take the opportunity to send troops to conquer this place. He just wants to sit back and reap the benefits."

Jiang Huairong didn't think this approach was despicable. She knew that there were too many such despicable methods between countries.

She just felt heartbroken. She had thought a lot and given up a lot for Dawei, but in the end, Dawei was so unkind and unjust to her.

Both of them enjoyed the support of the world, but Jiang Huaijing was an emperor who ruled the country and made strategic plans, while she had to bear the fate of "repaying all the wealth and glory she had enjoyed in the past ten years through marriage."

But she couldn't fight for it, because the position of crown prince had always been reserved for the princes, while she was imprisoned as a canary waiting to be sold at a price.

"But I have a plan. I wonder if the king is willing to cooperate with me?"

The palace door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold female voice was heard.

Jiang Huairong looked back and said, "A Qian?"

Qi Guanyan was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "I actually forgot about you. The Western Region witch was talking about you. I also received her favor, so what do you want?"

"Beiyuan." Li Qingqian said without thinking.

Qi Guanyan thought he had heard wrongly, "You want my throne?"

Li Qingqian smiled, slowly moved a chair over and sat down, "Your Majesty, you know it very well in your heart, right? This throne is not yours, but it doesn't matter, it will be mine in the future."

Qi Guanyan admired her a little at this time, "Fortunately, you didn't seize the throne and give it to your husband, otherwise I would not agree."

"Why should I give it to him? Isn't it enough that I gave birth to his child?" Li Qingqian raised her eyebrows. "But it doesn't matter whether you agree or not, because I will take the throne of Beiyuan."

At this time, the noise outside became louder.

Even the Frost Eagle Guards who were the first to wake up had begun to shout: "The king is back! The one sitting on the throne now is a thief!"

The Cold Eagle Guards are different from the people of Beiyuan. They are only loyal to the King of Beiyuan. Even if the eldest prince has been to Central Plains, they still swear allegiance to him until death.

A broken dark green wolf mask was thrown in from outside the hall and almost hit Li Qingqian.

Jiang Huairong warned: "Ah Qian, be careful."

Li Qingqian couldn't help but frown. She picked it up and saw that it was the one she gave to Shen Changyun.

Then, her eagle, which was originally stationed outside the city, also flew in and circled above the roof as if it was very anxious.

A bad premonition arose in her heart, and she stood up suddenly, "Did Shen Changyun get into trouble?"

The eagle still refused to come down from the roof.

Li Qingqian closed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned around and said to Qi Guanyan: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, let's forget about the cooperation we talked about before. If Shen Changyun can't be found, in the entire Beiyuan, no one will be left alive except my princess!"

After that, she said to the eagle which was still flying: "Why are you still flying? Follow me!"

Qi Guanyan felt panic in his heart, and he wanted to chase after Li Qingqian and persuade him to let go of the innocent people.

Jiang Huairong stopped him, and understood: "Don't worry, I know Ah Qian, she doesn't intend to let the people pay with her life. But you do have to be prepared for the Frost Eagle Guard and your brother to die here."
