In October, the Beiyan Dajun fully expanded the entire territory of the Shu region into Beiyan's lands. After resting for just three days, they continued to march towards Little Jiangnan, under the pretext of quelling rebellious ministers and traitors.
When the news reached Emperor Jiaping's ears, he was drinking with his beloved Consort Hua, applauding repeatedly, hoping that Jhin Mo could thrash Prince Wei, the treacherous minister and traitor, thoroughly.
Consort Hua chimed in with amusement, but internally, she sneered coldly, wondering how things would fare when Beiyan conquered Little Jiangnan - could the capital truly remain unaffected? Could he, this emperor, continue his reign?
She couldn't understand how someone so foolish could ascend to this position; it's probably that legendary fortunate birth.
At the Wen Residence, Wen Congrui, who had already retired from active duty, paused briefly upon hearing the news, then resumed his tea-brewing actions.
