The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

For the sake of a man, she betrayed her father who loved her so much, and let down her daughter who once relied on her wholeheartedly. She was stupid and selfish, and lived like a joke.

In grief and anger, she felt a fishy and salty taste in her throat, then she spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell straight down.

Before she lost consciousness, she saw Yan Yongchen rushing towards her, with heartache and anxiety in his eyes.

She laughed, laughing at herself for being so ridiculous. Even after being trampled upon like this, she still had fantasies about Yan Yongchen.

How could a devil who treated her as a chess piece be anxious or heartbroken about her fall?

Half asleep and half awake, she heard the old lady questioning Yan Yongchen in a shrill voice, asking him why he hadn't died yet. Only if Yan Yongchen died would the dog emperor die, and no one of the bloodline of the Yu family would be left alive...

She couldn't understand why the emperor died after Yan Yongchen died, and what was the connection between the two?

She was ill and could not get up, but she insisted on sending people to inquire about the news outside every day, wanting to know whether her sister Xi was well.

King Dingbei's army was at the gate of the city, and Sister Xi was locked in an iron cage like an animal. Above her head were cold arrows from the emperor's secret guards, and below her were tens of thousands of soldiers. There was no way she could survive whether she went up or down.

She didn't know how to save her daughter's life, so she could only drag her sick body to beg Yan Yongchen, asking him to save her daughter for the sake of their years of marriage.

Yan Yongchen's attitude was very cold. He told her bluntly that he could not save Xi Jie'er and would not save her, and asked her to give up.

Since it concerns her daughter's life, how could she give up easily? She continued to cry and beg Yan Yongchen like crazy.

Perhaps he was annoyed by her crying, Yan Yongchen chattered on and on and told her many things she didn't know.

Yan Yongchen told her how he arranged for Princess Rong to be with Prince Rong, what means he used to capture her heart, how he plotted to get the Su family's noblewoman to marry him, how he used the Ge family to pave the way for him, how he sent her daughter Xi to be with Prince Rong, and how he caused the uncle and nephew of the Yu family to turn against each other because of the beauty...

Every step Yan Yongchen took was carefully calculated. Even handing over his young daughter to Qianmen was a plan for the future.

Realizing the purpose of Yan Yongchen telling her this, she gradually calmed down and no longer had any expectations of this cold-hearted person.

Finally, she asked Yan Yongchen if he had ever truly cared about her at all, but she didn't dare to even mention it, for fear of expecting too much.

But even if it was only half a point, it was still a luxury. Yan Yongchen pondered for a moment and shook his head at her.

In the end, she smiled with tears in her eyes, laughing at her own stupidity.

But that's okay, since she doesn't care at all, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

Her father is gone and she is powerless to make up for it, but her daughter is still alive and she has to do everything she can to keep her daughter safe.

She has been selfish for half her life, and when the time comes, she will sacrifice for her daughter. No matter whether what the old lady says is useful or not, she will try it for her daughter.

Kill Yan Yongchen and then follow him, because even at the end, she still wanted to be with Yan Yongchen.

Yan Yongchen had caught a cold when he was young and was particularly afraid of the cold in winter. Hell must be extremely cold. She was afraid that he would not be able to survive and would not be able to drink the Meng Po soup, so she decided to continue to accompany him.

……

The dream ended, and Qian Manman didn't know whether she had successfully killed Yan Yongchen and saved her sister Xi.

Most of what happened in the dream came true, and her sister Xi was in danger. Regardless of whether she succeeded in the dream or not, she would try again.

Qian Manman insisted on leaving the East Courtyard. Mother Liu couldn't stop her and could only help her walk out.

Walking into the yard, Qian Manman suddenly stopped and asked, "Where are Sister Hui and Yushui?"

Madam Liu said truthfully, "They left the house in the middle of the night without telling us what they were going to do."

Qian Manman thought for a moment and said, "Let's not look for Yan Yongchen for now. Tell the coachman to drive. I want to leave the city."

At present, the Dingbei army has not reached Luodu, and the situation is not yet irreversible. Perhaps because of Sister Xi, King Dingbei will change his mind and temporarily not attack the city.

When she heard that she wanted to leave the city, Madam Liu's face changed, "Husband, Madam, the master doesn't allow you to leave the house, Madam, you can't disobey the master!"

Qian Manman realized something was wrong, shook off Liu Mama's hand, and quickly walked out of the yard.

Madam Liu trotted after her and knelt down in front of Qian Manman. "It's a chaotic situation outside. I beg you not to leave the city."

Meeting Mama Liu's panicked eyes, Qian Manman's heart skipped a beat and she asked anxiously, "Tell me the truth, has the Dingbei Army already begun to attack the city?"

Mother Liu knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she wiped her tears and said, "Prince Dingbei has already arrived at the city of Luodu at 11:00 this morning. The second young lady, the second young lady, has been locked in an iron cage and hung in front of the city wall."

Qian Manman staggered back a step, his face as pale as snow.

Mother Liu quickly stood up and went forward to support her, "Madam, Madam, you must hold on! The second young lady is blessed with a good life, and nothing will happen to her..."

Qian Manman stood there in a daze. The voices of comfort in her ears seemed unreal like the voice from the outside world. Fortunately, the panic lasted only for a moment, and then everything was as calm as expected.

"Is the Second Miss all right?"

The calm and indifferent voice entered her eardrums, and Madam Liu was stunned for a moment, "Don't worry, Madam, the second young lady is fine. Our Yan Mansion is close to the north gate, and we haven't heard any movement at this moment. The Dingbei Army must not have started the siege yet!"

"Send someone to the palace to look for Yan Yongchen and tell him that I am not well and that something big has happened in the palace. Ask him to return home immediately."

Mother Liu didn't know why her mistress changed her mind again. She thought that the master might be able to persuade her mistress when he returned, so she sent someone to the palace to pass on the message.

At this moment in the Qianqing Hall, Yu Jinzhou learned that Yu Wantai wanted to meet with him, and he felt relieved.

If there is talk, there will be a chance to turn things around. The only thing to be afraid of is that Yu Wantai really doesn't care about his wife's life or death as he showed before. If that happens, there will be no possibility for him to turn things around.

The reinforcements will arrive in Luodu in another five days. He only needs to delay for a few days, and the current desperate situation will usher in a major turning point.

Today is the grand court meeting, but less than half of the ministers are present. The fence-sitter thinks he can avoid disaster by staying indoors, but he is thinking too simply.

He has deployed the secret guards of the Tianji Camp to various places in Luodu. When the Dingbei Army breaks through the city gate, that will be the day of death for all the ministers.

Regardless of whether the ministers appear in the court or not, he will not leave any of the most trusted ministers in the Dafeng court to Yu Wantai.

Even if Yu Wantai ascended to the throne by chance, all he would take over would be a dilapidated mess.

"Prince Dingbei invited me to have a meeting. What do you think, Lord Yan?" Yu Jinzhou looked at Yan Yongchen.

"The emperor's opinion is my opinion." Yan Yongchen still looked as indifferent as usual.

Yu Jinzhou sneered barely perceptibly and was wondering whether he should give Yu Jintai some time off.

The scout hurried into the palace to report, "Marquis Dingnan has sent a message that the reinforcements have been traveling for days and are exhausted. They need to set up camp here and rest for half a month. Please allow it, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing the sad news, Yu Jinzhou's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally dropped and became completely cold.

Without reinforcements, it would be futile for him to delay any longer.

As for whether Yu Wantai would give up the fight for the throne for a woman, he didn't need to think about it, he knew that he would not do so. At most, Yu Wantai would exchange some insignificant conditions with him.

But even though he knew that defeat was inevitable, he still wanted to disgust Yu Wantai one last time so that he wouldn't lose too much.
