“As for Prince Zhan, he’s probably just angry with you. Once he calms down, he’ll definitely return all the cities he has. ”

The Zhanling Emperor pursed his lips and remained silent.

He would know if Zhan Beiye was angry with him. Ever since this war started, any remnants of the father-son relationship he had with Zhan Beiye had long been destroyed.

Zhan Beiye would not turn back now. The 20 cities had formed their own country.

Aside from declaring it a country, Zhan Beiye had essentially announced to the world that he had established himself as an emperor and was no longer Prince Zhan of Zhanling Empire.

This was what gave him a headache.

Without Zhan Beiye, Zhanling Empire’s combat strength had decreased significantly. If Yueming Empire attacked them now, he would not be able to defend himself.

“Marquess Ning, escort Prince Xiao back personally.”

He took a deep breath and had no choice but to instruct Marquess Ning to bring his son back.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Marquess Ning replied, and the ministers left the royal court.

After leaving the royal court, he sighed softly. Although he was Zhan Beixiao’s maternal grandfather, he had to admit that his grandson could not even compare to Zhan Beiye’s fingers.

Now that Zhan Beiye was like an emperor, reclaiming the 20 cities became an impossibility.

If the Emperor really wished to do so, he would have to waste manpower and resources, potentially resulting in the loss of even more cities. The previous war had already caused the Zhanling Empire to be unable to withstand the trials of war for the next five years.

The Yueming Empire should be in the same situation, right?

Zhan Beiye could become an emperor in these five years, and his empire could be comparable to Yueming Empire and Zhanling Empire.

The hatred that the Zhanling Emperor and Ming Fucheng harbored towards Zhan Beiye did not cause him to disappear. Instead, he used it as a fulcrum to rise up.

What a dramatic turn of events!

After leaving the palace and returning to his residence, Marquess Ning instructed his subordinate, “Go and investigate who’s helping Zhan Beiye.”

He did not believe that Zhan Beiye could fool Ming Fucheng like this alone. He even had Cloud-Breaking Pills!

He did not have any of those pills during the war he fought against Ming

They were all ordinary people.

“Are you saying that someone is helping Prince Zhan?” Marquess Ning’s subordinate looked at him and asked softly.

After all, Prince Zhan had a maternal grandfather too. However, he left the capital after being suppressed by the Zhanling Emperor.

“It’s Lan..

“Shut up!” Marquess Ning glared at him coldly.

How could anyone mention this name?

“It’s not him. There must be someone else.”

He was the one who dealt with Lan Qinghou personally. There must be someone else who could help Zhan Beiye.

However, he did not know why that person wanted to help Zhan Beiye. Was it for money, or were there other reasons?

“I’ll send someone to investigate immediately. Master Hou, when will you set

“Immediately,” Marquess Ning said.

Although his grandson was not as capable as Zhan Beiye, he was still his grandson.. He could not stay outside and suffer, right?
