As night fell, Xiao Chi came to Fanghua Palace after finishing his work.

Song Yao was playing with Xiao Suisui and the others. When Xiao Chi came, Song Yao pulled him to the side hall to worship Guanyin without saying a word.

Although Xiao Chi didn't understand and didn't believe these things, as long as Song Yao was happy, he would worship her.

After they finished worshipping and left the side hall, Song Yao asked him, "How was it? Did you feel anything different?"

Xiao Chi shook his head, "No."

"...No?" Song Yao was a little angry, "Then it must be that you are not sincere enough."

"..."

Song Yao said, "Go in and bow again, and be more sincere."

"……Oh."

Xiao Chi didn't want to make Song Yao angry, so he really went into the side hall again.

Song Yao talked to him and asked him to be more sincere and pray seriously.

Xiao Chi nodded and bowed sincerely.

After finishing, when they came outside, Song Yao asked him excitedly, "How was it? Did you feel anything special?"

Xiao Chi didn't want to go to worship again, so he said: "Do you feel it, physically and mentally happy?"

"Really?" Song Yao's expression suddenly became happy. "That's great, great. From now on, I will come to worship you seriously every day. Got it?"

“…Okay.” Xiao Chi nodded.

When Eunuch Cao arrived at Fanghua Palace and saw Song Yao and Xiao Chi, he quickly bowed and said, "Your servant greets the Empress and the Emperor."

Behind Eunuch Cao was Xie Junyan.

That’s right, Xie Junyan came with Eunuch Cao.

Xie Junyan bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

Song Yao looked at Xie Junyan in surprise, "Prince Rong, long time no see."

Xie Junyan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Queen, for remembering."

"How could I not remember you?" Song Yao's face was full of smiles. "Prince Rong, please sit inside."

"Yes." Xie Junyan nodded and followed them into the hall.

Xie Junyan sat down and Huaying poured them a cup of tea.

Xie Junyan has never smiled since he came to Fanghua Palace, and his face looks a little depressed.

Song Yao didn't drink her tea. She looked at Xie Junyan and asked, "Prince Rong, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"

When Song Yao asked this, Xiao Chi also looked at Xie Junyan.

Xie Junyan glanced at Xiao Chi, then at Song Yao, and finally said, "Only some of the people left with me. The rest are still in Zhao. Later, I tried to go back and persuade them, but it was too late. The Beilan army had already arrived in Zhao. Whether it was the capital or the surrounding capitals, corpses were everywhere..."

When he said this, Xie Junyan's eyes had turned red.

"I wanted to take them away with me, but I was still a step too late..." Xie Junyan covered his face and cried out.

Song Yao and Xiao Chi looked at each other, then looked at Xie Junyan.

Xiao Chi frowned, "So Beilan has really invaded Zhao? And what about those Zhao soldiers? Did they go with you?"

Xie Junyan lowered his hand and looked at Xiao Chi. "There were only 130,000 soldiers left, and they all followed me. So the civilians who stayed behind had almost no chance to resist, and no one helped them. In the end, they all died at the hands of the Beilan Kingdom!"

After hearing what Xie Junyan said, Song Yao and Xiao Chi couldn't calm down. Zhao was also a big country, and some of its people did not leave. This meant that at least tens of millions of people died.

With so many people dead, no wonder Xie Junyan is so miserable.

Song Yao asked, "What about the emperor of your Zhao Kingdom?"

Xie Junyan looked at Song Yao, his eyes bloodshot. "He said he was the emperor of Zhao, and even if the enemy attacked, he would not leave Zhao. He even told all the soldiers to follow me because he knew we had no chance of winning if Beilan attacked. That's why..."

Song Yao couldn't help but sigh: "He really loves Zhao State, otherwise he would not make such a choice."

Xie Junyan's heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, it hurt so much.

Tears streaming down his face, Xie Junyan choked up and said, "He is my nephew, and it is hard for me to accept that he left in this way."

Xiao Chi said: "That was his own choice. No matter how much outsiders say, it will be useless. What's more, it has already happened."

Xie Junyan looked at Xiao Chi and said in a choked voice, "He was not going to die originally. It was me who made him sit in that position. If I had forced him to leave at that time, he would not have died..."

Song Yao heard that now that the Emperor of Zhao was dead, Xie Junyan felt that it was his own fault, so he could not accept it now and felt very depressed and guilty.

It was his relatives who died. To be honest, Song Yao could only give him some guidance, but he still had to rely on himself to get over it.

Song Yao said, "Prince Rong, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences."

Xie Junyan wiped the tears from his face and looked at Song Yao and the others, "I'm fine, it's just hard for me to accept it for a while. I'm sorry for taking up your time."

"It's okay." Song Yao asked him, "Where are the people now? Have they been resettled?"

Xie Junyan nodded and said, "I have already taken them to the resettlement site. It is because I have settled them that I came to the palace."

"It's good that you've settled in." Song Yao looked at Eunuch Cao, "Let's have dinner here. Prince Rong will also dine with us."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Cao bowed and left the hall.

Song Yao looked at Xie Junyan and said, "Prince Rong, let's have dinner here tonight. Many palaces are empty, so you can rest here."

Xie Junyan said, "No need. I went to the Song Mansion in advance. They all know that I'm back. I just came to the palace to see you. It's fine to have dinner here."

"That's okay too!"

Although it wasn't appropriate to ask now, as this matter concerned tens of millions of people, Song Yao still asked, "Prince Rong, where is the Beilan army heading now?"

Xie Junyan said, "They didn't return to Beilan Country. They went to Nanyun Country. In another half month, they will be there. When they went to Zhao Country, they had 530,000 soldiers and horses. After arriving in Zhao Country, they lost no soldiers and horses, so they will have the same number when they go to Nanyun Country."

"Even if all the troops of Nanyun Kingdom are mobilized, they will not be able to defeat the troops of Beilan Kingdom. Since Beilan Kingdom is so brave and powerful, there is no way that Nanyun Kingdom can defeat them. Therefore, the outcome of Nanyun Kingdom will be the same as that of Mobei Kingdom." Song Yao's face became very ugly.

Xie Junyan's face darkened. He looked at Song Yao and Xiao Chi, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Beilan Kingdom has a grudge against the Zhao Kingdom for subjugating it. If I don't avenge this, I would be unworthy of being a Zhao citizen!"

Song Yao nodded and said, "Prince Rong, I understand your feelings. We also happen to be dealing with the Beilan Kingdom. When the time comes, please lend us a hand!"
