With that said, the conflict between Xia Country and Yan Country needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they could face a combined attack from the other two empires.

“In addition, Your Majesty, there is also good news.”

“What’s the good news?”

Yu Qinghan asked with a frown.

The governor smiled and said, “There’s been a significant internal conflict in Yan Country as well. First, the Raven Sect started a demon rebellion in the south, and then the former Prime Minister of Yan, Song Heqing, who was getting on in years, passed away three days ago. The uneven distribution of civil and military strength within Yan Country has led to discord. The Imperial Court has discussed the possibility of war several times. I was fortunate enough to be present and listened to Grand Secretary Fan Yan’s argument.”

“The consensus in Court is that this is a good opportunity for us to move against Yan.”

However, to the governor’s surprise, rather than showing a joyful expression as he had expected, Yu Qinghan instead furrowed her brows deeper.

The area ruled by Yan Country isn’t as vast as that of Xia Country, but it holds a vital position, including major revenues from grain and taxes. If Yan Country were to collapse, it would not benefit Central State at all.

Xia Country might face a joint invasion from the Shenluo and Northern Wolf Empires, which are undoubtedly a huge disadvantage.

The sects are gradually intervening in the mortal world. The battles between the dynasties are essentially showdowns between the Immortal Sect and the Devil Sect.

So, in a sense, it’s not beneficial for Xia Country to move south when Yan Country’s in trouble. It’s rather dangerous.

But the most crucial question is, could she be ruthless towards her husband?

Clearly, she couldn’t.

She must discuss this with her husband.

“It’s Brother Cultivator.”

All of a sudden, the little girl pointed at a figure in the sky, her eyes beaming with excitement, and shouted.

Yu Qinghan also looked up at the sky and saw a man flying towards her.

It was Zhao Huai, the one she had been thinking of.

After Zhao Huai had instructed the Boar King on how to manage the demons and signed a soul contract, ensuring that Blackwind Mountain could be used by him as a demon weapon factory, he left.

He had agreed to meet up with Madam in Jinzhou, but he hadn’t expected that upon his arrival, Jinzhou had changed. It had expanded, and the population was larger than before. It even seemed more prosperous than a year ago!

After Zhao Huai landed, he looked at the guards in armor and was slightly taken aback, but he understood.

After all, Madam was now the Empress of Xia Country, so it was normal for her to be accompanied and protected by a convoy of guards.

But did she really need protection?

Seeing Zhao Huai appearing out of nowhere, both the governor and the soldiers were stunned, with several Qi-Refining cultivators adopting defensive stances.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qinghan explained briefly, “Don’t make a fuss. He’s a cultivator guard I recently recruited.”

Hearing this, the governor finally let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Huai had changed his appearance, so they had nothing to worry about. Even if he hadn’t, no one would have recognised him.

Aside from the high ranks of the Devil Sect, not many knew what the Crown Prince of Yan Country looked like.

While the title of the Crown Prince of Yan Country was well-known, many were not clear about his name or his appearance. Compared to an Immortal, he was more like a flashy billboard.

“You can retreat for now. I will return to Xia’s Capital another day,” Yu Qinghan ordered the governor.

“Yes.”

The governor, feeling relieved, slowly instructed his men to withdraw.

Thankfully, the Empress didn’t give him any trouble this time, which was a fortunate thing.

“What’s going on?”

Zhao Huai playfully pinched the little girl’s cheek and then asked Yu Qinghan.

Yu Qinghan told Zhao Huai all her speculations and everything that had happened in the mortal world.

Zhao Huai tell silent tor a long time atter nearing the news of Song Heqing’s death.

A lot had happened in Yan Country during his absence.

What happened to the Raven Sect for them to start a revolt in the south?

The death of Song Heqing, with his extensive experience, would indeed deliver a significant blow to Yan Country. With his grounding presence, he was the mainstay of Yan’s civil officials.

If he were no longer there, it would not be unusual for conflict to arise between the civil officers and the military officers, for the voice of authority means everything.

Given the present situation, it is indeed not optimistic.

Yu Qinghan sighed and asked, “What would you do if you were in this situation?”

“Would you take a passive stance or proactively seek change? The Devil Sect is eyeing you warily. It’s safer to be cautious.”

“Of course, if you don’t want to, that’s fine. No one can force you. I’ll take care of everything.”

Zhao Huai turned around and looked at the familiar shop. One side was bathed in light, the other in shadow. He tapped on the counter and after a moment of silence, he said sharply,

“The mortal world cannot continue in this chaos. Whether it’s Shenluo, Northern Wolf, Xia Country, Yan Country, or even the Immortal and Devil Sects lurking behind them, they all need to come to a resolution. We returned from the Spiritual Mountains and should have been prepared for this. Competing and killing each other, conspiracies and plots should not hinder our progress. Our focus should be on ourselves, not on them. If we want to fight for something, we go and fight. If we want something, we steal it. If we want to kill someone, we kill them.”

“That’s the lesson I learned from my cultivation in Secular Immortal Peak.”

“My husband, you’ve grown.”

Yu Qinghan looked at the resolute silhouette before her and muttered, biting her lips.

“I just don’t want to see Madam once again bearing the weight of the world on her shoulders as she did a year ago, missing each other yet again. I can’t accept that situation.’

“So this time, it’s my turn to carry the burden, ” said Zhao Huai, his eyes fiercely determined.

Yu Qinghan was slightly taken aback. In Zhao Huai, she seemed to see the shadow of a strong ruler.. After considering this, she walked up to Zhao Huai, took his hand, and smiled softly:
