The news of the new king of Daning's accession to the throne soon spread to the northern border.

The tens of thousands of remnant troops of Alhe, who had been besieged by the Daning Army for several months and were holding out in Tongcheng, began to have disagreements.

Since Song Weizhao had been in a coma, many people suggested that his younger brother be made the new king and take advantage of the situation to counterattack Daning.

Nalan Yiqing realized that some people were dissatisfied with her abusing her power and wanted to seize her power, so she ordered her confidants to secretly execute many dissidents with ulterior motives.

However, after several years of advancing into the Central Plains and suffering countless casualties, some people in Lierong City had long been dissatisfied with her. In addition, Dayan was defeated and could no longer send annual tribute to various tribes, so no one was willing to send additional troops to help.

She knew that it would be difficult to mediate with her current power, and she began to feel like backing out.

But Song Weizhao showed no signs of waking up so far, so she had to find a way to bring the mother and son of the Song family back to the north.

After kneeling in front of Wang's bedroom for many days, Wang finally agreed to come out to see her.

Seeing the indifferent look on the Queen Mother's face, she could only kowtow and plead: "I feel guilty towards Your Majesty and the people of Dayan. Today I come to apologize to you, Queen Mother. Please consider the safety of the descendants of the Song family and go back to Lierong City with me."

Wang smiled with disdain on her face: "Why, Princess Nalan made my son notorious and he is still unconscious, and now she still wants to dominate him and won't let my son go?"

"I have absolutely no such intention. I just want to take good care of my mother and my brothers and sisters for Your Majesty."

Nalan Yiqing felt so aggrieved that tears fell to the ground.

She didn't understand why her mother-in-law was so prejudiced against her. She had never let the Song family down.

"Please go back with me, mother-in-law. I will never let my mother, brother and sister suffer any grievances." She choked with sobs and asked again.

"Don't even think about it."

Wang said angrily: "Today you either kill us mother and son, or let us go."

"Hasn't my mother always advised Your Majesty to think about the people of the world? Do you still want the Central Plains to suffer from war?"

Nalan Yiqing said earnestly, "There are many people in the court with ulterior motives who want to help my younger brother ascend the throne. Many people in Lierong City have advised my daughter-in-law to return north. Once my daughter-in-law leaves, how can my mother protect my younger brother and sister? Do you want to let those people with ulterior motives take advantage of you?"

Wang immediately fell into hesitation.

Although she didn't like this daughter-in-law, but if she asked herself, this woman was indeed very caring towards her family and Zhao'er, except that she was a little cruel to the people of Central Plains.

The people of the Central Plains are now living in misery, all because his son led the Alkh cavalry into the pass and caused chaos in the world.

The Song family is the sinner of this world. In order to stop his son from invading the south, the old uncle jumped into the river to prove his innocence. She can't bear to watch others continue to use the Song family to bring chaos to the world.

Guiyun was a kind and generous girl. She believed that the young Queen Mother Daning would be able to restore peace and prosperity to the Central Plains.

But the child has just established a new king, and there is a lot of work to be done. I am afraid that many forces will want to make moves and cause war in the Central Plains again.

If the Alkh people could be persuaded to withdraw from the Central Plains at this time, it would indeed reduce a lot of burden on the soldiers of Daning.

Thinking of this, she looked at Nalan Yiqing and asked solemnly, "Are you really willing to withdraw your troops from Tongcheng?"

Nalan Yiqing answered without hesitation: "As long as the queen mother and my younger brother and sister are willing to follow me back to the north, I will promise you that I will immediately withdraw my troops from Tongcheng without causing any harm. We will go back to the northern border to find a fertile land and live a peaceful life from now on."

Wang thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay, whatever you say."

"Then my daughter-in-law will prepare it right away."

Nalan Yiqing stood up happily and ordered his men to secretly prepare for his return to the north.

Thinking of Fu Yuanshu who was still imprisoned in the dungeon, she went to the prison in person.

Looking at the second young lady of the Fu family who had been tortured beyond recognition, she said smugly, "Tomorrow the emperor will return to the north. I came here today to say goodbye and to tell the second young lady Fu a good news."

Approaching her, Nalan Yiqing said provocatively: "Your elder sister has now helped the new emperor to become the emperor. With the support of the Fu, Lu, and Ye families, she is now in a very glorious position."

"She's the empress dowager again?" Fu Yuanshu gritted her teeth in anger.

"again?"

Nalan Yiqing was stunned when he heard this: "What does this word 'again' mean?"

Fu Yuanshu smiled without saying anything. The anger in her heart made her particularly agitated and uneasy, and she began to laugh to herself.

God was really blind, letting her start over again in this life, but in the end she got nothing.

She didn't understand why she was inferior to her elder sister and why she could get what she wanted so easily.

Nalan Yiqing no longer had any interest in this woman. Anyway, she could no longer compete with him for Brother Rong. In the future, she could take care of Brother Rong alone. It was meaningless to keep this woman around.

"I want to send you to a place."

Nalan Yiqing smiled sinisterly and said, "Second Miss has been away from home for a long time. I believe you miss your family very much. I will send you back to reunite with them. I believe your eldest sister, the current Queen Mother Daning, must miss you very much. I will give her a big gift."

When Fu Yuanshu learned that she wanted to send her back, she was extremely frightened.

Seeing how she treated the entire clan in the past, she was afraid that even if she were to be cut into pieces a thousand times, it would not be enough to appease the hatred of the clan members.

"Nalan Yiqing, if you have the guts, kill me..."

As soon as she said this, Nalan Yiqing spat at her: "Killing you really dirtys my hands."

Giving her a fierce look, Nalan Yiqing said with a half-smile, "My dear sister, you can stay here with peace of mind. Your cousin Fu Yan will enter the city tomorrow, and he will welcome you back then."

After saying this, he was about to leave in a swagger.

"Nalan Yiqing, I am your Majesty's legally married wife, you cannot treat me like this."

Fu Yuanshu was extremely scared and kept yelling at her.

Nalan Yiqing looked back and sneered: "Fu Yuanshu, you still have the nerve to mention that you are His Majesty's legally married wife. You should think carefully about how to be fair to the entire Song family that you killed."

When Fu Yuanshu thought about the lives of hundreds of people in the Song family, his scalp went numb.

In the dark dungeon, it seemed as if thousands of wronged souls were roaring towards her.

"No."

"I don't want to go back."

"let me out."

She let out a series of hysterical screams, trying to drive away those hideous and hateful faces. In the darkness, even her mother and cousin, who once loved her the most, came closer with resentment in their hearts.

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

In despair, her heart trembled more and more violently, completely out of control, and she felt blood flowing from all seven orifices.

……

When Fu Yan led the army into Tongcheng, the soldiers found Fu Yuanshu's body in the prison.

The corpse had already become stiff, and the eyeballs were almost bulging out, but none of the Fu family members were willing to collect the body. They wished they could poke ten thousand more holes in her body.

Out of consideration for the Fu family's reputation, Fu Yan ordered her to be buried outside Tongcheng, and only wrote a letter to Dongyi to inform his father and elder sister.

It was several months later that she received the battle report sent back by Fu Yan. Fu Guiyun, under the leadership of the new king, had completely wiped out the rebellions in all parts of Daning. She was puzzled to learn that Nalan Yiqing retreated without a fight and ordered the Alhe Cavalry to completely withdraw from the Central Plains.

She guessed that it was Wang's mediation that contributed to the situation, and she was very grateful. She began to discuss the matter of moving the capital with the new emperor and court officials.

When everything was developing in the expected direction, news came secretly from Liyang City that Ye An had found Doctor Xue.

Lu Linzhi has been in a coma for several months. Doctor Xue's medicine can save his life, so it should not be difficult to help him wake up.

Thinking that he could wake up and that he could see him again in this life, Fu Guiyun was extremely excited. He wished he could fly to his side immediately and stay with him so that he could know how happy he was. This way, he might get better faster.

But just when she couldn't wait to rush to Liyang City, Lu Qingchen suddenly came to Kunning Palace.

The little guy greeted her tiredly and sat down in front of her without saying anything. After a long while, he slowly asked, "Mother, will you always stay with me?"
