I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

As night falls, the inn is brightly lit.

Su Luo and Situ Jiu sat opposite each other. There were several exquisite side dishes on the table, but no one touched their chopsticks.

"Sister, what do you think is the current situation in Yan State?" Situ Jiu asked softly, breaking the silence.

Su Luo put down the teacup in his hand, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "According to the time, my father's health should have..."

She didn't continue, but Situ Jiu understood what she meant.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten years, news continued to come from the State of Yan about Princess Zhaoyang suffering in the State of Dai, some of which were true and some were false.

These news not only reflected the hatred of the people of Yan towards Dai, but also laid the groundwork for the future by Su Luo.

Now, it is easy for Yan State to attack Dai State.

But Su Luo's purpose is not just revenge.

She wanted to use Dai State as her last retreat.

After all, the struggle for the throne in Yan State has not really come to an end.

"Sister, are you worried about my brother?" Situ Jiu looked at Su Luo and asked softly.

Su Luo nodded slightly: "Although Brother Cheng Wang has the support of Duke Su and others, the Seventh Prince... after all, is in the original plot..."

She paused and said nothing more.

In the original plot, the seventh prince was the final winner.

Now, although the situation has changed, Su Luo still dare not take it lightly.

"Sister, what should we do now?" Situ Jiu asked.

"Wait." Su Luo uttered a word slowly, "The journey is long now, and it is inconvenient to pass on information. We can only wait patiently."

A hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "However, I believe that Brother Cheng Wang will succeed."

A few days later, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds were heard outside the post station.

A dusty messenger brought the latest news from the State of Yan.

"Report—" The messenger knelt on one knee and presented a letter with both hands, "Princess, the emperor... has passed away!"

Su Luo's heart sank. Sure enough, he came.

She took the letter, slowly unfolded it, and read ten lines at a glance.

"Brother King Cheng... has ascended the throne?" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Luo's eyes.

The letter stated that King Cheng successfully ascended the throne with the support of officials such as Duke Su.

The seventh prince was named King of Qi.

"That's great!" Situ Jiu cheered, "Sister, we can finally go back home!"

Su Luo remained calm: "Jiu'er, don't be too happy too soon. King Cheng has just ascended the throne, his foundation is not stable, and the situation is still unclear."

She looked at the messenger and asked, "Where is Duke Su now?"

"Princess, Duke Su has been ordered by His Majesty to lead his troops to attack the State of Dai and will arrive at the capital of Dai soon," the messenger replied.

A gleam of light flashed in Su Luo's eyes: "Good! You came at the right time!"

She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Pass the order!" Su Luo stood up, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, his voice resounding and powerful, "Let our people fully cooperate with Duke Suguo and take down Daiguo as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The messenger took the order, turned around and walked away quickly, leaving only the crisp echo of his boots hitting the ground.

The atmosphere in the post station suddenly became tense and solemn.

Su Luo paced slowly, her mind churning with thoughts. Ten years of dormancy, only to erupt in an instant. She had waited far too long for this moment.

She took a deep breath, calmed her agitated mood, turned around and instructed the maid beside her, "Go, invite Xiao Minghan and his wife."

"Yes." The maid bowed and retreated.

A moment later, Xiao Minghan and his wife arrived hand in hand. Both were dressed in simple and elegant attire, their expressions respectful, yet their brows could not conceal the frost of their years.

"Your Highness and I pay our respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess." The two of them walked into the house and knelt down in salute, their voices steady and respectful.

Su Luo raised his hand to signal them to stand up. His eyes swept over the two of them, and his tone was calm but with unquestionable majesty: "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Minghan and his wife slowly stood up, stood by with their hands hanging down, waiting for Su Luo's instructions.

For many years, they had been cautious and treading on thin ice in Dai State. They knew the wisdom and strategy of the eldest princess very well. Although she lived in seclusion on weekdays, every action she took must have far-reaching intentions.

At this moment, Su Luo suddenly summoned him, which must be something extremely important.

Su Luo looked at the weathered couple in front of him, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.

In the original plot, they are the ministers who are loyal to Princess Wan Ning, and they are also the few people she can trust in this country.

She spoke slowly, her voice as clear as spring water, yet carrying an unquestionable majesty: "Xiao Minghan, Madam, do you know that things have changed in Yan State?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghan and his wife shuddered slightly, their eyes flashing with surprise and bewilderment. Having lived in Dai for a long time, they were isolated from the news and knew very little about the situation in Yan.

"Your Highness, what do you mean..." Xiao Minghan asked tentatively, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Su Luo nodded slightly, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at Xiao Minghan and his wife: "Yes, the Emperor of Yan has passed away."

These words, like thunder, exploded in the ears of Xiao Minghan and his wife. They stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?" Mrs. Xiao exclaimed, her voice full of shock and grief.

Su Luo ignored their surprise and continued, "The new emperor has ascended the throne and is King Cheng."

Xiao Minghan and his wife were shocked again. They looked at each other and could see deep shock in each other's eyes.

What does it mean when King Cheng ascends the throne? It means that the situation in Yan State will undergo earth-shaking changes.

And as subjects of Yan State in Dai State, their fate will also change accordingly.

Su Luo took in all their reactions and nodded secretly in his heart.

This is exactly the effect she wants. Only by making them realize the urgency of the situation can she better use them.

She paused, her tone becoming more serious. "Now, Duke Su has been ordered by the new emperor to lead his troops to attack the Dai Kingdom. He will arrive at the Dai capital soon."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghan and his wife turned pale. They finally understood the real reason why Su Luo summoned them.

"Your Highness, you mean, let us..." Xiao Minghan's voice trembled a little. He had vaguely guessed Su Luo's plan.

Su Luo nodded, a gleam in his eyes: "Yes, I need your help."

She looked at Xiao Minghan and his wife and said word by word, "I want you to cooperate with Duke Suguo, work together from within and without, and take down Daiguo in one fell swoop!"

When Xiao Minghan and his wife heard this, they were filled with shock.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Xiao Minghan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.

Su Luo smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "You just need to..."

She moved closer to Xiao Minghan and his wife and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Xiao Minghan and his wife's expressions changed, and their eyes were full of determination to win.
