Yan Lie's messenger hadn't set off yet, but Yan Qing had already sent someone to respond. The news he brought was: Taking advantage of the civil unrest in Kyoto, the Liguo army had broken through the northern pass. This was probably Prime Minister Ji's conspiracy. The old King of Qin has already led his troops to attack Li Guo. The influence of the Five Princes Party in Kyoto has penetrated both inside and outside the court. Some of the other princes are fishing in troubled waters, and some want to take advantage of it. In short, the situation of the princelings is also alarming at every step.
It was inconvenient for Yan Lie's army to enter the palace, and they could not attack other princes, so they continued to garrison outside the palace and temporarily acted as Kyoto guards to resist the intruders from the country. At the same time, they sent a team of people into the palace to protect the queen and the crown prince.
Yan Xu originally wanted to gain more experience, so he volunteered to enter the palace. Firstly, he wanted to protect Yanyu, and secondly, he wanted to gain experience. After all, there were not many such opportunities. Considering that this was not Yan Xu's first time participating in the war and he was not a reckless person, Yan Lie agreed to his request with only one request: to pay attention to his own safety and protect Yan Yu.
Yan Yu has only seen Yan Lie once since she came to Yi Kingdom. This time she saw Yan Xu again. Knowing that they came to protect her, she felt a thousand twists and turns in her heart. She was both relieved and helpless. She really wanted to go back together. Forget about the country of Yan, but Yan Yu also knew in her heart that she could not go back. Although she had been mentally prepared and knew that the road to the top of power was not that easy, she would still feel scared if she was really involved in a fight for the right to inherit the throne. After all, her life might not be saved if she didn't do it.
Fortunately, her father did not abandon her. He immediately sent people to Yi Kingdom to support her after receiving the news. Yan Yu was a little lucky for this. At the same time, she was grateful for Yan Shu's attentiveness. Every time someone came to Yi Country, Yan Shu would ask someone to take care of her. Some of her parents' specialties were given to her, and occasionally they would write to her, telling her to look after the shop, and one day in the future she would open a food city branch, so that she could eat Yanshuo's new delicacies at any time.
As Yan Yu thought about it, she felt a little sad. She is obviously the crown prince of Yi Kingdom, but in this palace, there is no one who can speak her mind. Yan Qing treated her with respect as always and even refused to consummate the marriage because she didn't want to make do, so he never stayed in her palace again. It can be seen that Yan Qing is not a person obsessed with women. He is surprisingly rational and does not have any personal emotions in anything he says or does. He seems to be born to live for power.
Although Yan Xu is Yan Yu's imperial brother, as a foreigner, he can only guard outside the East Palace and cannot enter the palace. He didn't know what would happen in the East Palace. He only knew that he would strictly guard the people and food entering and leaving the East Palace. Yan Qing only came over to say hello hastily, telling Yan Xu that Li Guoxing had sneaked in and that he must pay attention to safety, and then left in a hurry. Looking at the sparse stubble on his face, he must have not had a good rest for a while. .
The prince was like this, and the Emperor of Yi Kingdom was even more angry. It seemed that his time was running out. Judging from the current situation, if the Emperor of Yi Kingdom dies, the situation will be even more chaotic. For Yan Qing, now is a critical period of testing. If he can overcome it, everything will be clear; if he cannot bear it, he will die without a burial place. So he has no other thoughts now and can only concentrate on fighting.
Yan Lie and Li Xiao were unable to do anything else for the time being, so they were on standby in the military camp outside the palace, keeping an eye on the situation of Yan Xu and Yan Yu. The Liguo army fell silent as if it had disappeared, but everyone knows that the calmer it is, the more dangerous it is, so don't be careless!
