Soon, Nanny Xuan and Doctor Wen arrived. Yan Fuyao gave them a few instructions, explaining the importance of the matter, and asked them to have a New Year's Eve dinner with their families, say goodbye, and set off early the next morning.

Nanny Xuan had been in the palace since she was a child and had no family at all. Imperial Physician Wen did have one, but he left in a hurry.

Yan Fuyao asked Nanny Wen to sit down and said with a smile,

"Mammy, you are my wet nurse. You have brought me up since I was little. The late emperor was too busy with affairs of state to care for me, so you have been the one who brought me up since I was little. You are the person I trust the most."

Yan Fuyao spoke to this respected elder and claimed that he had become himself.

Aunt Xuan showed a kind smile on her face and said,

"Yes, when Your Majesty was little, he was sensible and cute. He was so small, but in the blink of an eye, he grew up and became an emperor with great power.

Seeing Your Majesty now in power, with a harmonious family and an excellent husband, I am truly happy."

"Mammy is the person I trust the most. You are more experienced in taking care of pregnant women and children.

Chang Gong is in the south, where everyone is an outsider, not a friend. He is worried, and neither am I. Only if you go can I feel at ease."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will take good care of the pregnant woman. When we leave tomorrow, I will bring a few needlework experts with me to make clothes and mattresses for the baby."

"Okay, then get ready and leave early tomorrow morning."

"I obey your command."

Nanny Xuan stood up and left with a smile.

Soon, Yan Fuyao sent someone to the Shen family and told Shen Wanguan about this matter.

When Shen Wanguan heard this, he jumped for joy, even happier than his father Shen Changgong. While jumping, he shouted, "I'm going to be a grandfather."

Later, Shen Wanguan heard that the imperial physician and the palace maids would also set out south tomorrow, so he immediately arranged for two old maids in his family to go with them.

These two old maids have been with the Shen family for decades. They also took care of Shen Changgong and his elder brother when they were young. They are both thoughtful and caring people.

It's no wonder that Shen Wanguan was so happy. He had two sons in his family. The eldest died on his wedding night, leaving only the second son. It all depended on him to continue the family line.

As a result, this guy only knew how to fight every day, which made Shen Wanguan worried all day long, fearing that something might happen to him on the battlefield. If he died in battle or his body functions were damaged, the Shen family would be extinct.

After hearing about this, my sister-in-law Jiang Ruoxue also hurried over to confirm its truth.

Shen Wanguan looked at his daughter-in-law and asked,

"Ruoxue, I've never met Yu Ziling. Have you met her? What's she like?"

"Sister Yu is a very good person. She is very skilled in martial arts and good at fighting. She is also very good in fighting. She has a good personality and blushes easily.

But I didn't have much contact with her, but my husband did. Since she was the one he chose, she must be good."

"That's good, that's good. Speaking of which, Ruoxue, among all the women in Changgong's family, you are the one we two old people like and value the most. We are of course happy about your pregnancy, but we still feel a little regretful that it's not you who gave birth to our firstborn son.

You can't fall behind too much. We old couple are in good health and don't need your care. You should go south in a few days and find Chang Gong and give birth to a child as soon as possible."

Jiang Ruoxue's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and said,

"Dad, it's not a good idea for me to go there secretly. Besides, there's chaos and chaos outside, it's so dangerous.

Tomorrow I will go find Sister Meiyan, and we will go to the palace together to find His Majesty and ask him what he has to say."

"That's fine. Her Majesty is the legal wife after all. It's best to tell her about this matter and ask her to send some soldiers to escort you.

It's okay if we don't send troops. Our Shen family is rich now, and we have hired many guards and thugs. We can spend some more money to hire some more people and send you over."

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."

The next morning, New Year's Day.

After Jiang Ruoxue paid her New Year's greetings, she went to Jiutian Tower early, wanting to meet Mei Yan.

However, the people over there told her that for some unknown reason, Fairy Mei Yan rode a horse and ran south with a group of guards early in the morning. No one knew what had happened that made her so hurried.

After hearing the news, Jiang Ruoxue stared blankly with her eyes wide open and stomped her feet in anger.

This sister Mei Yan is so disloyal. She must have known about that incident, so she immediately went south to find her husband without even waiting for her.

Then, Jiang Ruoxue went to the palace again and met Yan Fuyao.

Yan Fuyao told her that they would set off together in a month, as it would not be safe for Jiang Ruoxue to go alone.

As for the fact that Mei Yan ran away alone, she didn't care.

Jiang Ruoxue stomped her feet in anger again.

……

More than half a month passed quickly.

The teams escorting Emperor Wei and Emperor Qin arrived almost one after the other.

They were first sent to the military camp outside the city.

Afterwards, Yan Fuyao announced that a celebration banquet would be held tomorrow, and a prisoner offering ceremony would be held at the Temple of Heaven in the imperial palace, using the captives of the enemy's royal family and ministers as sacrifices to the ancestors.

Early the next morning, the entire Qin army and all the captives from Wei, all dressed in white, walked into the city under the escort of the Changning army.

The Emperor of Qin and the Emperor of Wei walked in the front, followed by their uncles, relatives, princes, nobles, ministers, and their families.

The captives lined up in a long queue, walking forward step by step, their eyes numb and dull. It was obvious that along the way, their arrogance as royal aristocrats had long been worn away by training, leaving only obedience, numbness and fear.

The Emperor of Qin glanced at the Emperor of Wei, and the Emperor of Wei also glanced at the Emperor of Qin.

Both of them sighed.

The Emperor Qin said slowly,

"Brother Cao, I never thought that our first meeting would be in such an occasion."

Cao De smiled bitterly and said,

"Yes, think back to the time when the Wei and Qin states fought each other for a hundred years without a clear winner. Who could have imagined that the insignificant Yan state in the north would suddenly rise and sweep across all the other states?

At the end of the year before last, you and I began to form alliances and tried our best to lobby the three southern countries to form a five-nation alliance.

But now, in the blink of an eye, you and I have become prisoners of the State of Yan."

"The world is so cold."

The Qin Emperor sighed to the sky.

Countless people around them, with excitement and playful expressions on their faces, pointed at them, as if they were monkeys juggling on the roadside, allowing themselves to be teased and played with.

There is no dignity at all.

Cao De suddenly asked,

"Brother Ying Huang, when you surrendered, did the Yan people tell you about any title or treatment?"

The Emperor Qin glanced at him with disdain and said,

"I have never surrendered. I haven't surrendered until now!"
