Princess Consort Hanshan spent the entire night deep in thought, yet she could not reach a decision. After all, this concerned the life and death of Tuoba Yu; she feared that any misstep would lead to tragedy.
When Tuoba Yu requested an audience, she avoided him, saying only that she had not yet made up her mind. Moyuan, learning of this from Tuoba Yu, grew restless. He knew that if he were to speak plainly to Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Yu would surely let him go. However, Princess Consort Hanshan would never allow Xie Qiqi to leave, and Moyuan was unwilling to abandon her here. Xie Qiqi still had to compete against the experts from Medicine King Valley, and even if she were to win, Prince Yan remained a constant threat lurking in the shadows. Wouldn’t that be tantamount to throwing Xie Qiqi into a wolf’s den?
Just as Moyuan was contemplating how to pressure Tuoba Yu further, a turning point arrived. The personal guards of Prince Hanshan had returned from Xueling Peak. Tuoba Yu and Moyuan, who had been chatting, rushed over upon hearing the news, both aware that the scouts would bring word from the front lines.
