Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

As Lingyan left, everyone's eyes followed her figure closely, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

There was fear, awe, and curiosity about her.

They didn't know who this mysterious and powerful woman was, or what her background was.

But they knew that from this day forward, the image of this woman would be deeply imprinted in their hearts.

This thrilling event will be talked about in Bei Li for a very long time.

…………

After returning to her residence, Lingyan first took a bath to wash away the stench of blood from her body.

Then he sat in the room, holding a cup of hot tea, and pondered deeply while looking at the sky outside.

The reason she went out shopping today was to use herself as bait to find out which officials in Beili wanted to use her for what purpose, so that she could use them in return.

She had been wandering the streets for so long, just waiting for these officials who had received the news to make a move.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

Young Master Yao bumped into him on his own initiative.

She immediately came up with a plan.

She could deliberately escalate the conflict between the King of Beili and the Yao family, who controlled the Beili court.

First, the intensification of internal conflicts in Beili will greatly weaken Beili's national strength.

When the Northern Li King and the Yao family are embroiled in a struggle, both sides will inevitably devote a great deal of energy and resources to this power struggle.

The military may be called up to protect their own interests, and fiscal spending may be tilted toward internal strife.

This will reduce the Northern Li's investment in foreign affairs and weaken its military defense capabilities, thereby creating a favorable strategic environment for the Great Zhao.

Secondly, for Ling Yan personally, escalating the conflict could create more opportunities and space for her actions in Bei Li.

When the Northern Li King and the Yao family check and balance each other, their attention to external matters will be relatively diverted.

Lingyan could then take advantage of this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the political landscape, military deployments, and weaknesses of various factions in Beili.

She can skillfully maneuver between various parties to gather intelligence and provide valuable information for Da Zhao.

At the same time, she can also look for opportunities in this process to influence Bei Li's decisions and seek greater benefits for Da Zhao.

Furthermore, escalating the conflict could also help break down the existing power structure of Bei Li.

The Yao family's control over the Northern Li court has led to a rigid and corrupt political environment in Northern Li.

Their tyranny not only harmed the interests of the people of Beili, but also hindered the development of Beili.

By escalating the conflict, Lingyan could prompt the Northern Li King to take action against the Yao family, thereby breaking this unhealthy power structure.

Regardless of whether the Northern Li King or the Yao family wins in the end, the victorious side will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Lingyan was very happy to see this.

Furthermore, the escalation of their conflict could also trigger internal turmoil and changes within Bei Li.

When the struggle between the Northern Li King and the Yao family reaches its climax, other forces may take the opportunity to rise to power.

At that time, the Northern Li court will be in complete chaos.

The saying goes, "To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability." This explains the contradictions and chaos within their court.

With their own country's affairs keeping them busy every day, how could they possibly have the mind to care about other things?

So how could this not be an opportunity for Da Zhao?

Once Da Zhao has annexed Bei Li, she will execute all the ministers who are causing internal divisions.

The Northern Li was already beset by internal and external troubles. Instead of focusing on developing its domestic affairs, they engaged in factional infighting, which dragged the Northern Li down.

If they became subjects of the Great Zhao, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So why not kill such selfish officials who only care about their own interests?

As for the other officials, she will probably know them quite well by then.

We'll deal with them based on their individual circumstances then.

As for why she was so confident that she could successfully divide them.

That's because she deliberately acted so arrogantly and domineeringly today, and even said that even if she killed the Empress, the Northern King would not do anything to her.

And so he taught that young master Yao a lesson.

Therefore, Grand Tutor Yao and the officials behind him must be very angry about this, and even want the King of Beili to punish her.

But how could the King of Beili "bear" to punish her?

It will inevitably be pressed and no response will be given.

At that time, Grand Tutor Yao will realize that the King of Beili actually disregards the Yao family for the sake of a woman.

How dare they oppose the Yao family like this, and yet they don't stand up for them?

After all, she had uttered such rebellious words and even ruined Young Master Yao's manhood, rendering him childless.

The Northern King actually protected her and refused to deal with such a serious matter.

Then one can imagine how Grand Tutor Yao, his family, and the officials of his faction would feel at that time.

They will inevitably develop strong dissatisfaction and resentment towards King Bei Li.

They would think that the King of Beili was so infatuated with beauty that he forgot the important position of the Yao family in the Beili court and their contributions over the years.

As the core figure of the Yao family, Grand Tutor Yao has always prioritized the family's honor and power.

The inaction of the Northern King is undoubtedly an insult to the Yao family.

He would believe that it was unforgivable for the Northern King to sacrifice the dignity and interests of the Yao family for the sake of a woman.

The officials behind him will also feel disappointed and angry.

They originally attached themselves to the Yao family, hoping to gain more power and benefits under the Yao family's protection.

However, the current attitude of the Northern King makes them feel that their position is threatened.

They will begin to question their choices and shake the rule of King Li of the North.

Some people may also consider finding a new patron.

Alternatively, they could remain neutral between the Yao family and the Northern Li King, observing how the situation develops.

This dissatisfaction and resentment will continue to spread among the Yao family and their supporters, forming a powerful undercurrent.

They will resist the decisions of King Bei Li and voice their opposition in court.

They might even secretly plot actions to protect their own interests.

Lingyan took advantage of this, as she was well aware of the weaknesses in human nature.

That's why his actions triggered a conflict between the Northern Li King and the Yao family.

At the same time, this contradiction will make the political situation in Beili more complicated and unstable.

The various forces will reshuffle the deck in this process, fighting for their own interests.

Lingyan, on the other hand, can either influence the situation or remain neutral amidst the chaos.

They're really sitting back and doing nothing!

However, after this incident, the Empress will likely harbor even greater resentment towards her.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, even without this incident, she was already planning to deal with her.

So what difference does it make if there's one more or one less case?

By now, news of what had just happened on the street must have spread rapidly throughout the entire capital.

So, both King Li of the North and his civil and military officials must already know about this matter.

So, Grand Tutor Yao, you'd better not disappoint me next time!
