The Emperor still did not speak.

His half-closed eyes looked at the people below him. He stood up and walked outside, saying, "Let's do it."

The person holding the white silk came in from outside. Four or five people held Consort De, who was on the ground. That foot of ruthless white silk completely wrapped around Consort De's neck. Screams of despair could be heard from behind him as the Emperor quietly made his way back.

It was snowing again.

Ning Yunyin looked outside at the chaotic darkness and said, "Mufei was buried without any rules."

Back then, she was crowned as the Demon Concubine. Naturally, she could not be buried in accordance to the ceremony of her concubine, and she could not even enter the Mausoleum of Feather to be recorded in the annals of history. The Emperor then sent people to cremate Consort Yun, leaving his ashes in the Water Cloud Hall.

Very few people knew about this matter. After all, no one was willing to talk about what had happened back then.

Consort De had knocked over Yun Fei's ashes in front of the emperor just to anger him to death. In truth, she had also done it. From then on, the Emperor was unable to bear the illness and didn't ask about politics. The Thirteenth Prince's actions began to take their course.

"Right now, the two powers fighting in the capital are Thirteenth Brother and the Qi King." Ning Yunyin spoke indifferently.

Ye Jinsu opened her eyes wide and looked at him, seeing the calm expression on his mother's face when she said that her ashes had been beaten up. She felt bitter in her heart.

She lowered her eyes and asked, "Then who was the one who sent you the message?"

He should be out of the city by now, but someone had been sending him messages. Although someone might have wanted to know if Ning Yunyin was still alive, Ye Jinsu had a hunch that things weren't that simple.

"Grand Princess."

It really was her.

"What did she say?" Ye Jinshu asked in a low voice, his eyes glimmering in the night sky.

Ning Yunxiao looked at her silently. His gaze turned somewhat hesitant. "You really want to know?"

"You know that if I told you, you wouldn't be able to stay out of it."

Not only her, but also their Ye Family.

Ye Jinsu looked at him and suddenly smiled faintly. "Ever since I caught that bird, I've never thought about staying out of this matter."

Ning Yunxiao's eyes were slightly startled. His enlarged pupils stared at Ye Jinsu and he lowered his head.

She smiled and said, "So, if you don't tell me today, I won't let you go."

After a long while, Ning Yunyin opened her mouth and said, "When I left, elder sister left me a letter."

What was written in the letter was not important. What was important was what was in the letter.

As she spoke, Ning Yunyin reached into her sleeve and pulled out something.

Ye Jinsu opened her eyes wide, and the moment she saw it, her breath caught in her throat. The shock in her eyes was obvious.

This is a general talisman!

Ye Jinsu looked at it and then looked at Ning Yunyin with wide eyes, almost not daring to believe it, "This …" "What's with you?"

The General's Talisman was something that every general had in their hands. Its use was obvious. Although Ye Jinsu couldn't identify which general it belonged to, why was such an important object in Ning Yunzhi's hands?

It was something he had brought with him when he went to battle.

Ye JinSu could not believe it. The General Talisman had left the general's side for so long. Did no one discover it? Or perhaps, this was something that belonged to the people around Ning Yunyin?

Ning Yunyin's finger lightly tapped the rapidly approaching general talisman as she said, "This is the general talisman of the Lu family."

Lu Gong Hou generation of military generals, in the beginning is only famous for a Lu family army. Later on, there would be many talents in the future, and until now, the Duke of Lu was the only one honored as the First Imperial General.

The general talisman in Ning Yun's hand was ancient and belonged to the generational Lu Family Army. It was only used to command the Lu Family Army.

But now that the Lu Family had developed to such a stage, the Lu Family Army was no longer the only force that was in the hands of the Lu Family's Duke. Twenty years ago, the Duke of Lu held half of the Tiger Tally in his hands.

At that time, Duke Lu had done a great service. In order to reward Duke Lu, the Emperor even made an exception and allowed him to hold half of the Tiger Tally. At its peak, the Duke of Lu held the military power of the entire country in his hands.

Over the next twenty years, the Emperor gradually began to withdraw his authority. The military power held by the Duke of Lu gradually diminished, and the might of the other half of the Tiger Tally also began to weaken.

Still, a starving camel is bigger than a horse.

All these years, the only thing the Lu Family had used to recruit soldiers was that half a Tiger Tally. This Lu Family's General Talisman rarely appeared anymore.

The general talisman was now a level of insurance in Ning Yunyin's hands.

The Grand Princess knew that the emperor would definitely seize this opportunity to make his move when Ning Yunzhi was about to set off. This was a move that the Grand Princess had prepared beforehand. Although the power of this General Talisman couldn't compare to the other half of the Tiger talisman, it was personally handed to the Grand Princess by Lu Hou.

This represented the loyalty of the Lu family.

With this, he might be able to turn the tides.

The Grand Princess had never given up on searching for Ning Yunyin. She had sent people to stay in this small border city for a long time. Day after day, they had kept in touch with each other and searched for her. Until one day, the paper of the bird that flew back was taken away by someone.

This was only the smallest of responses. The Grand Princess, who was thousands of miles away, immediately gave the order. No matter what, she had to find out whether or not the other party was Ning Yunyin.

But when birds were released, there was no response. It was as if a stone had been thrown into a deep well.

They had no way to follow the path of the birds, so they could only keep searching outside.

Ye Jinxiu looked at Ning Yunyin with a complicated expression, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Why didn't you reply …" Ye Jinsu felt as if she was stuck in her throat.

Ning Yunyin glanced at Ye Jinsu and lightly sighed.

He continued to knock on the general talisman and said: "Although this was personally handed to me by Marquis Lu, but more than two years have passed and the situation in the capital is no longer as I am now. "If Marquis Lu goes back on his word and doesn't acknowledge this General Talisman, I won't be able to do anything about it."

After all, he was holding a Tiger Tally, which was more useful than a General Tally.

"Moreover, the current Marquis Lu is from the Thirteenth Prince's side."

Ye Jinsu looked at him with disbelief in her eyes.

"The Grand Princess is still in the capital. Since she had the foresight to prepare this for you, she wouldn't be doing nothing in the next two years." Ye Jinsu looked at him and said.

In those two years, all she saw was helplessness. Ning Yunyin's forces were suppressed one by one and dispersed one by one. No one could do anything about it.

But now she knew that it was all an illusion.

It was even possible that she and the Grand Princess were still in the process of deploying the capital city to each other before Ning Yunyin fell off the cliff.

The only real inaction was in these few months. However, the Grand Princess had recently discovered that Ning Yunyin was still alive, so she would not give up so easily.

So this is all an excuse.

Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and smiled, "What are you worried about?"
