By the time Shang Yiqing and her group returned to the Southern Marsh, the weather had already reached the start of the autumn winter.

Because the Southern Marsh Country had a mild atmosphere, even though it was late autumn, there wasn't much change in the temperature. Instead, it gave Dongfang Hao, who came with them, a very new feeling.

"I didn't expect the Southern Marsh to be so different from our country. The four seasons are very distinct in Dongyu, and normally when the weather reaches this season, it will be snowing soon." As Dongfang Hao spoke, he had already escorted Ying Ying and Shang Yiqing back to the Residence of Rong. Looking out of the window, there was a field of autumn.

Shang Yiqing raised an eyebrow at her words. "You mean it's going to snow soon in Dongyu?"

Dongfang Hao nodded affirmatively: "In the past, it would definitely snow during October."

Shang Yiqing sighed unconsciously, "I thought Fang Zinan and his gang would be back soon, but I didn't expect them to be gone for two to three months. How is the battle going?"

"Princess Consort Rong, you're thinking too much. Grand Preceptor Hou was already defeated when we left, so even if he gathered troops and came back, he still wouldn't be strong enough. The general and the rest can be said to have victory in their hands." Dongfang Hao and the others were quite confident in this war.

Shang Yiqing smiled as her gaze drifted outside the window. The place was filled with chrysanthemums, it was very lively and filled with a rich purple color. It was a pity that the autumn wind blew on it, giving people a sorrowful feeling. She wasn't actually worried about the war, but whether King Xuan would make another move against Zinnan. She had personally witnessed how despicable the men King Xuan had sent were, and she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear just thinking about how they had almost lost their lives.

Yingying shot a glance at her and asked, "What are you thinking about, Imperial Concubine Rong?"

"I'm thinking that with King Xuan being so crafty, he wouldn't let Fang Zinan off so easily. Last time, when he went on a trip to sea, it was just an example. He had so many spies, could there be spies around him?" Shang Yiqing said worriedly.

"Princess Rong, you think too much. We didn't know such a person existed in the past, but now Nanyu Lan has abandoned her past darkness and even pointed out Hai Yue's name. With her in the army camp, you can be at ease." Ying Ying tried to console her.

Shang Yiqing nodded. Although she was still very worried, her expression had eased up a little. She smiled and said, "Perhaps it's as you said, I'm too worried!"

"It's not just you that's worried, we're actually very worried too." Dongfang Hao's smiling expression was still very similar to Fang Zinan's, and there was a trace of melancholy between his brows.

"I'm not worried about other things now. I'm worried that it's King Xuan who killed Fang Zinan many times, and now that he's been betrayed by Yulan, will he speed up the attack?"

Actually, everyone was thinking the same thing.

Dongfang Hao stood up, and a trace of worry flashed across his black eyes. "It's not that there's no reason for you to be worried about Princess Hua-Yang. Since we know that King Xuan has evil intentions, we'll naturally have to be careful."

After hearing Dongfang Hao's words, he hurriedly said, "Perhaps you all are overthinking things. Even if King Xuan wants to become the emperor again, the emperor already has a candidate in mind. Furthermore, the testamentary edict has already been written down."

"How do you know that's impossible!" Shang Yiqing sneered. Even if she did not know about these fights for the throne, she had never seen it on TV before. Who didn't know that the descendants of the royal family would be even more brutal when fighting?

Dongfang Hao patted Ying Ying's shoulder and laughed magnanimously, "Ying Ying, you're thinking too simply. When has a battle at court not been a bloody one? There were originally four most competitive princes, but now there were only two left. Furthermore, the title of Crown Prince would be created between these two princes, so even if Prince Rong didn't have the heart to fight for the throne, King Xuan wouldn't think this way. He would definitely think of a way to deal with King Xuan. If Prince Rong's army returns, with his meritorious military service, obtaining the position of crown prince will not take much effort, and King Xuan's situation will become precarious! "

This question was what Shang Yiqing was most worried about. Now that she thought about it, King Xuan seemed to have planned things out with his brothers step by step, even though on the surface, it looked like he was unrestrained and lived a gaming life.

Ying Ying felt a little embarrassed. She had indeed thought too simply about all of this. It was only after Dongfang Hao made sense of the situation that she felt that the matter had become serious.

"Then what should we do now?"

Shang Yiqing thought for a moment, then looked at Dongfang Hao, "I have a presumptuous request, what do you think of it, Prince Qi?"

"What is it, Princess?"

"Since King Xuan has always wanted to deal with Fang Zhennan, we can't just sit there and wait for death either. Why don't we take the lead this time and find out how King Xuan is doing? Although we don't have any intention of harming him, we still need to be wary of him." Shang Yiqing thought that she had thought of a brilliant idea. With her martial arts skills, it was impossible to find out anything about her. However, Dongfang Hao's martial arts was strong and his identity was special, if he could agree to help, then that would be great.

Dongfang Hao didn't say anything, but Ying Ying had already rushed to the front. "Dongfang Hao, just agree to the imperial concubine. Not to mention the imperial concubine, even I am worried about the safety of the prince.

Dongfang Hao didn't say anything, but Ying Ying became even more anxious. "Dongfang Hao, don't you still not understand Fang Zinan's character? After all, you have come into contact with him, so you should know more or less about his character! "

Seeing that Ying Ying's face had turned red from worry, Dongfang Hao smiled coolly and asked, "Did I say I won't help you guys?" He glanced at Shang Yiqing as he spoke. "Moreover, Prince Rong has led an army to defeat the rebel army of Beiyue Country and the Grand Preceptor. Dongfang Hao has long been deeply grateful. How could I refuse Princess Hua-Yang's request?"

Shang Yiqing smiled, "Dongfang Hao, you are indeed a loyal man. I was right about you!"

Of course. Although Dongfang Hao is the Qi King, he traveled the world with a broad mind and a chivalrous heart. He will definitely help you." Ying Ying could not help but feel a bit proud. Her gaze towards Dongfang Hao became a bit more loving.

Dongfang Hao smiled embarrassedly: "Don't say that. "That's not exactly a chivalrous action. If I must say, even if I have to repay you for your kindness, I, Dongfang Hao, will be the one to repay you."

"Qi King, you are too polite." Shang Yiqing smiled faintly, "How do you intend to find out?"

"This …" Dongfang Hao pondered for a moment. "What do you think if I disguise myself and enter Duke Xuan's mansion?"

Shang Yiqing and Ying Ying looked at each other before shaking their heads. "No."

"Why?"

"Because you and Fang Zinan look too much alike. I'm afraid that King Xuan will be suspicious if he sees that you're paying special attention to you." Shang Yiqing revealed the worries in her heart.

Dongfang Hao looked up at the sky and quietly pondered. After a while, he said, "You don't have to worry. I have a way to solve this problem."
