Outside Fuluan Hall.
Shi Rong walked out and spoke to a Xuanjia guard waiting outside.
"Commander Lu, the Queen of Heaven doesn't see anyone at this time. Please go back."
"Master Shi, I really have something important to report for my humble position."
Shi Rong was helpless and said: "Commander Lu, I have relayed your exact words to the Queen of Heaven. This is what the Queen of Heaven meant."
Commander Lu was silent for a while and could only say: "I understand, I will resign."
After the Xuanjia guard retreated, Shi Rong turned around and entered the palace again. She did not reach the Queen of Heaven, but only reported outside the curtain: "The Queen of Heaven, Commander Lu has left."
There was no response from inside. Shi Rong looked at the hazy figure covered by the curtains and bowed back.

Prime Minister's Mansion.
An Yan and Wenren Yunjian came together. The three of them rode together, but no one spoke when they got on the carriage.
An Yan thought about why Shen Tu Ying committed suicide by taking poison, and what he said to Yu Jingtang inside. However, after this incident, Yu Jingtang and Wen Ren Yunjian would definitely know about what happened in the general's mansion, and he was involved in it. .
When they arrived at the study, An Yan, who came in behind, closed the door.
"Are you really my nephew?" Yu Jingtang turned his back to him and suddenly said.
I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard the advice.
An Yan's mind was racing and she asked, "What does uncle mean by this?"
There was no emotion or anger on Yu Jingtang's face, and he said calmly: "Shentu Ying said that you are actually a monk, and everything that happened just now was all your fault."
An Yan was shocked when he heard this.
After Wenren Yunjian was shocked, he looked at An Yan in disbelief.
"you……"
"It seems that what he said is true." Yu Jingtang said again.
An Yan calmed down in an instant, knelt down and saluted Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunjian, and said, "Uncle, father-in-law, my nephew was just a mortal before he entered the city. He encountered many things in this city of gods and had no choice but to do so. Monk, my uncle and father-in-law treat my nephew very well, as if he were his own son. The nephew did not want to drag down the two elders, so he hid this matter."
Yu Jingtang asked, "Then what you did didn't drag us down?"
An Yan had already thought about how to respond to this matter, and said: "This is not my personal wish, and the Queen of Heaven also has this intention. Shen Tuying's downfall will only benefit us more, and everything else will gradually calm down."
Yu Jingtang laughed for no reason: "We...we...hehehe..."
Wenren Yunjian then silently walked to a seat aside and sat down.
A look of sadness flashed across Yu Jingtang's face: "The Queen..."
He looked at An Yan again: "How many other things do you have to hide?"
An Yan thought about it seriously and thought that some things would be made public sooner or later, so he simply said: "Xuan Yi, the real person in front of the Queen of Heaven, is also a monk, and it was she who brought her nephew into the path of cultivation."
To An Yan's surprise, Yu Jingtang said, "I know about this."
An Yan was slightly moved and asked, "How long have uncle and Zhenren Xuanyi been together?"
Wenren Yun remonstrated and said, "Since she is someone close to you, don't you know anything about her?"
Yu Jingtang added: "You tell me your story first."
An Yan said: "Zhenren Xuanyi introduced his nephew to the Queen of Heaven. Since then, many things have been done under the instructions of the Queen of Heaven. Apart from these, there is no fraud in my nephew's identity or relationship. My nephew has always My uncle and father-in-law are my elders, I regard Jinping as my beloved partner throughout my life, and Brother Huanzhang and others as my brothers and sisters."
"It's just that...many things happened out of his control, and I didn't hide them intentionally. My nephew has absolutely nothing against his uncle, his father-in-law, or this family."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingtang just sighed heavily and held the corner of the table beside him with one hand.
After a long time, he said: "Shentu Ying... deserves death, but I never imagined that it would be the Queen who kills him."
An Yan heard endless sadness from his mouth.
Wenren Yunjian was also silent, and also sighed: "Jingtang, maybe things have changed a long time ago."
Yu Jingtang turned around and looked at An Yan.
"Get up."
An Yan bowed deeply and then stood up.
Yu Jingtang said: "You guys want to open the Three Realms Pass?"
Hearing Ren Yunjian's expression suddenly changed.
An Yan sighed secretly when he heard him address him as "you", and said, "All the monks in Xuantang have this thought, and so does the Queen of Heaven."
Yu Jingtang looked calm and looked past An Yan to the closed door.
"It's too early for you to take action." He said calmly.
An Yan couldn't help but ask: "What does uncle mean?"
"This military power should not be in the hands of Shentu Ying, nor should it fall into my hands. It is best to leave it to the Queen of Heaven."
An Yan was slightly absent-minded: "Uncle, did you agree?"
Yu Jingtang glanced at her calmly: "Go back and tell the Queen of Heaven that since Shentu Ying is dead, there will be turmoil in the Xuantang Dynasty. She has accepted the destiny and obeyed the will of the people and ascended to the throne."
Wenren Yunjian stood up and looked at Yu Jingtang in shock: "Jingtang, you..."
Yu Jingtang just raised his hand to stop him.
An Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It won't go so smoothly. If Shentu Ying dies, many people will think that the queen has lost power."
Yu Jingtang said: "Shen Tu Ying is dead, but there are still people who are not dead."
An Yanze said: "Shentu Ying's party was all killed in the turmoil just now. Now it's up to my uncle to reorganize the court..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
Yu Jingtang looked at him calmly: "Who said Shentu Yingyi was dead? Isn't there someone still lying on the bed?"
"uncle……"
Yu Jingtang looked at An Yan and said after a moment: "My nephew, you can go ahead."
An Yan thought about it, bowed to Yu Jingtang, and then bowed to Wenren Yunjian before leaving the study.
As soon as An Yan left, he heard Ren Yun's advice and couldn't wait to speak: "Jingtang, what are you going to do?!"
Yu Jingtang breathed a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
"Wan'er is not dead."
Hearing Ren Yunjian was stunned for an instant.
Yu Jingtang took out a white jade with hollow carvings from his arms. It was the token from An Yan when he came to the city before.
Wenren Yunjian sat back in his seat helplessly, looked at Yu Jingtang, and still couldn't help but said: "Jingtang, you really want to do this..."
Yu Jingtang said: "During successive years of drought in the Xuan Tang Dynasty, Yanzhou rebelled. It was Shentu Ying who colluded with the monks to do it. The purpose was to let the Queen of Heaven delegate power."
After Wen Renyun was stunned, he smiled bitterly: "That's really what he would do."
There was also sadness in his eyes.
"Since Shentu Ying died, the drought should have ended. Yun Jian, this is not my fault." Yu Jingtang said.
"...You are a wise prime minister."
"I have done a lot of things to eradicate traitors and govern the country, to eliminate relatives for justice..." Yu Jingtang said slowly.
"Let me be wrong just once."
Hearing the remonstrance, he was speechless and sighed silently. Then he thought of something and asked, "What about An Yan?"
Yu Jingtang said: "Shentu Ying said that he blocked someone's way. He probably meant the monks. They are so keen on opening the Three Realms Gate. The same is true for An Yanwei. If he wants to become an immortal, he will no longer be a mortal. ...But he will still be tied to us in the future. If he is willing to be my nephew, your son-in-law, and Jinping’s husband-in-law, let him be."
Wenren Yunjian's eyes flashed, and then he couldn't help but said: "This is an eternal crime."
"They are planning everything, and even the Queen of Heaven has taken advantage of it. If you and I don't want it, there will always be someone who will do it in the future. Instead of letting those treacherous people do it, why not leave it to me to try my best to preserve Xuantang."
After Yu Jingtang finished speaking, he stopped talking.
After hearing Ren Yunjian's advice, he stood up, gently cupped his hands to him, and then left.
The door was not closed now. Yu Jingtang looked at the white jade in his hand, then looked at the open door, and seemed to see a figure in a trance.
Later...
