After being disturbed by Mrs. Lu, Qin Yining was no longer in the mood to play. He only spoke with Mrs. Liao for a while before they parted ways. Before they parted, Qin Yining hesitated for a moment. He still didn't say that he would entrust the Qingtian Alliance to find his grandmother.
She thought that perhaps his grandmother had given the Qingtian Alliance to her in the past because she didn't want to be involved with these jianghu people.
What his grandmother cared more about was how the women of the Sun family were going to recuperate and live well. Although the Sun family didn't have any sons, the Sun family still had daughters who could marry into their family. As long as they settled down and developed, the Sun family would prosper again in a few years.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining also felt relieved. After all, their lives would only get better and better.

At the same time, on Xizhi Street, a spacious vermilion carriage was steadily driving towards the County King of Yan's Palace.
Yuchi Yan sat cross-legged in silence. He lowered his head and looked at the exquisite embroidery on his robe. This robe was newly awarded by Your Majesty two days ago. It was said that the best embroiderers were chosen to sew it for him.
However, the complicated and gorgeous County King's robe didn't make him happy. The more dazzling the County King's robe was, the more it made him, the ruler of a fallen country, feel useless.
He was once an emperor, but now he had to walk in the capital of Da Zhou with the title of a County King of another country. He felt that the way people looked at him when he went out was strange.
What's more, he just witnessed the scene of Qin Yining being humiliated in the restaurant hall.
Since Dayan was destroyed, Yuchi Yan felt that the inexplicable pressure on his shoulders could finally be removed. He also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the beginning, he only succeeded the throne to hand over the letter of surrender. Everything was settled. After coming to Da Zhou, he often advised himself that people should be content with what they have. It wasn't a bad thing to live the rest of his life peacefully.
However, under the courteous but disdainful gazes of Da Zhou's courtiers, he felt an unprecedented humiliation. Only now did he realize that he had been too naive.
The reason he was still able to live on was to prove the benevolence of Your Majesty in Da Zhou, to flaunt Your Majesty's contributions to the vicissitudes of the world. All his life, he had been a foil for the entertainment of others. Your Majesty Da Zhou would think of how wise he was when the Dayan Dynasty was destroyed.
What position did he have to pursue Qin Yining, a person who looked good on the outside but was actually lowly?
Even if Qin Yining had been abducted, her father was still a second-stage Dayuan cultivator who was about to enter the Pavilion.
What about him?
With his current status, it was impossible for him to bring Qin Yining happiness and peace!
In fact, when she was being bullied, he didn't even have the courage to speak up for her. Instead, under Li Yanyan's tug, he followed her lead and left.
This was because he knew that he didn't have the right to speak up. Even if he did, no one would listen to him.
Furthermore, with his current awkward status, he couldn't afford to offend the Lu Clan.
Yuchi Yan couldn't help but clench his fists. He was filled with disgust and disgust for himself.
Was there anyone else in the world who was as useless and spineless as him?
He didn't even dare to protect the woman he loved. How could he have the face to ask Qin Yining to be his concubine?
How could he have the face to tell her, "Follow me and I'll protect you"?
He couldn't even keep his promise to her now, let alone in the future!
"Wang Ye …" Li Yanyan saw that Yuchi Yan's expression was extremely ugly. Even the veins on his forehead were popping out. She held Yuchi Yan's hand and gently shook it.
"Wang Ye, don't make yourself suffer. We still have a long way to go. Now that things have settled down, everything will be fine."
Li Yanyan's eyes reddened as she spoke, but her voice was extremely gentle. "I know that you like the Qin Clan. Don't worry. I will continue to work hard to make peace with them. Wang Ye is talented and elegant. What woman wouldn't adore you? I think the Qin Clan can't bring themselves to accept it. They must feel that they've been through something like that before, so they're too embarrassed to accept it. If I go a few more times, she might agree. "
"You don't have to go."
Yuchi Yan was like a puppet with slow reactions. He slowly turned to look at Li Yanyan and shook his head. "You don't have to go. I … am not good enough for her. "
Li Yanyan was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but burst into tears. She hugged Yuchi Yan and sobbed, "Wang Ye, Wang Ye, why do you have to be like this? How are you not good enough for her? In my heart, Wang Ye is an indomitable man. He's talented and gentle like an immortal! Anyone who doesn't like you is blind! You're so sad for the Qin Clan. If you ask me … what should I do? "
Li Yanyan buried her face in Yuchi Yan's shoulder and started sobbing.
Yuchi Yan was upset by Li Yanyan's tears. He felt his nose sting and his eyes heat up. He almost cried as well.
After a while, Yuchi Yan hugged Li Yanyan's shoulder and patted her. "Don't cry. Let's live happily in the future. "
Li Yanyan slowly raised her teary eyes to look at Yuchi Yan. She choked with sobs as she said, "Alright, your highness. As long as your highness doesn't mind, this concubine will always be by your side. We will live a good life and in the future, this concubine will give birth to a few more children for you. Our family will live a happy life."
Yuchi Yan looked at Li Yanyan's eyes, which were especially bright after being washed by her tears. His heart suddenly melted into a puddle of water.
Although he couldn't obtain Qin Yining, Li Yanyan had been with him since the beginning. She had gone through thick and thin with him, never leaving him. People's hearts were made of flesh. Li Yanyan treated him so wholeheartedly. How could he not be moved?
"Okay." Yuchi Yan hugged Li Yanyan's shoulder and held her in his arms. He rested his chin on her forehead and said, "Let's live happily together. This King will also work hard to earn power and status. We won't always be like this."
Li Yanyan's heart suddenly jumped when she heard this. She hurriedly said, "Wang Ye, I don't care about power or status. As long as I can be with Wang Ye, I don't care about fame or power at all!"
Yuchi Yan smiled and said, "You don't care, but This King cares."
Li Yanyan's words turned in her mouth a few times, but she didn't dare to say them out loud.
She really wanted to ask Yuchi Yan.
Was he suddenly so eager to obtain power so that their family could live happily together, or was it because of Qin Yining?
But Li Yanyan wasn't a stupid person. Although she was jealous, she didn't want to show her jealous side in front of Yuchi Yan. It would be annoying for no reason.
But in her heart, she hated Qin Yining to the extreme. She could tolerate Yuchi Yan taking in a hundred ordinary concubines, but she didn't want Yuchi Yan to marry only one that he truly loved.
Why did she always stay by Yuchi Yan's side like this? Wasn't it because she wanted to live a peaceful life?
If Qin Yining married into the family, she probably wouldn't have a peaceful life.
At that time, don't blame her for being ruthless!

In contrast to Yuchi Yan's low spirits, Li Qitian was currently in a very good mood and sipping tea in the Empress Dowager's palace. Li Helan sat obediently to the side and poured tea for Li Qitian at the right time. She also chatted with him very humorously.
"Imperial Brother's plan this time is so ingenious. By borrowing the strength of others, the Family Qin will soon realize that the only person they can rely on in the capital is Imperial Brother."
The Empress Dowager also smiled and said, "Your Majesty's method is very good. Watching the fire from the other side of the river will avoid provoking the fire."
The Empress Dowager was a person who had a sense of propriety in her words. Even if she had any ideas in her heart, she would never discuss them in front of the Emperor. This was because she knew that the Emperor was a person who didn't like the imperial harem interfering in politics. As a birth mother, she only needed to live a comfortable life. If she said too much, it would implicate her family.
However, although Your Majesty didn't like the imperial harem interfering in politics, there were times when he needed the imperial harem's help.
For example, Li Helan this time.
Heaven's might is unpredictable. Whether or not the imperial harem participates in politics, it all depends on Your Majesty's intentions. He wanted Li Helan to help, so Li Helan had to do her best.
Li Qitian smiled and said, "Imperial Mother's words are reasonable. Zhen just doesn't want the imperial court to be controlled by one party. "As a woman, Li Qitian had never been willing to explain the affairs of the imperial court in detail.
Li Helan could see Li Qitian's impatience, so she gave the Empress Dowager a look and asked, "Imperial Brother, will Lan 'er still be in contact with Lu Family? Lan 'er actually doesn't like the way this person usually acts. If I get close to her, there's no need for outsiders to think that Lan' er is that kind of person. "
Li Qitian laughed when he heard this, "Are you afraid that outsiders will misunderstand, or are you afraid that Prince Consort will misunderstand?"
"Imperial Brother." Li Helan's face flushed red, and she stamped her feet shyly. This caused the Empress Dowager and Li Qitian to laugh again.
"Imperial Mother. Erchen and Lan 'er still have things to talk about, so we'll take our leave first. "Li Qitian laughed enough, stood up, and cupped his hands to bid farewell.
The Empress Dowager didn't stay any longer and only ordered her mother to send the two off.
Anyway, they were all her children. It didn't matter if they relied on and used each other, as long as they supported each other and didn't fall out with each other.
Li Helan followed Li Qitian all the way to the imperial study. After the chief eunuch Li Guanwen served tea, he left under Li Qitian's signal.
Li Helan then asked coquettishly, "Imperial Brother, why are you looking for Lan 'er?"
Li Qitian smiled and said, "How does Prince Consort treat you?"
Li Helan thought of Ji Zeyu's handsome face and recalled that day at the Lu Family, when Ji Zeyu turned and left. Her face turned from red to white, and then from white to red.
She already regretted it. She shouldn't have listened to the Lu family that day and let the two men she loved see her hooking up with someone else.
"Prince Consort treats Lan 'er very well." Li Helan answered shyly, and then secretly looked at Li Qitian, and said softly, "Imperial Brother, Lan 'er has a presumptuous request. I hope Imperial Brother can help Lan' er."
"Oh? What is it? Don't hesitate to tell me. "Li Qitian raised his eyebrows.
Li Helan said, "Imperial Brother, Lan 'er doesn't want to live in the Princess Residence. How about you allow Lan' er to live in the Prince Consort's Residence? After we get married, we'll live in separate residences, so we won't be able to see each other. We won't be as happy as ordinary couples. "
