Yuan Che was preparing to enter the palace to understand the reason why Yuwen Yue was transferred into the palace. Before he could leave his tent, he received an imperial decree stating that he was to escort Xiao Ce back to Liang tomorrow. Yuan Che understood that his departure would be the best timing for Yan Xun to leave. He specifically asked Dongfang Ji to try every possible means to prevent Yan Xun from returning to Northern Yan.

Dongfang Ji readily agreed in person, but how could he be a person who kept his promises? He was eager for Yan Xun to return to Northern Yan, as only then would Great Wei fall into complete chaos, and the Wei Emperor would then reuse Yuan Che. At that time, Dongfang Ji would be able to achieve his ambitions under Yuan Che. At this point, Dongfang Ji remembered Wudao Ya.

Wudao Ya had always longed for a peaceful and prosperous era, but how could Yan Xun be that enlightened ruler? Climbing out of hell would only turn one into a malevolent spirit. Wudao Ya was probably going to be disappointed. After Yuan Che left Dongfang Ji, he went directly to the Wei Mansion. He did not trust Dongfang Ji, so he specifically asked Wei Shuye to keep a close eye on Yan Xun, ensuring he did not leave Chang'an City.

If the situation became urgent, killing Yan Xun would not be out of the question. At the same time, inside Yingge Court, Chu Qiao, Yan Xun, and Zhong Yu were verifying the escape route out of the city on the day of the wedding. Their manpower was limited, so they had shrewdly chosen the route.

On the day of the wedding, Yan Xun would depart from Yingge Court, follow Shuncheng Street, pass through Chang'an Prefecture and Mulberry Leaf Pond directly to the Ancestral Temple. After completing the ancestral worship, he would return to the palace via Zhuque Street. It was impossible for the Emperor to openly execute Yan Xun, so the most likely place for an attack would be the remote and desolate Ancestral Temple.

At that time, the Xiuli Army would control Xue Zhileng in advance. On the eve of the wedding, approximately one hundred people would be arranged to ambush near the Ancestral Temple, waiting for an opportunity to rendezvous with Yan Xun. On the day of the wedding, four hundred people would be arranged to control the East City Gate to assist them in leaving the city. Chang'an City had numerous garrisons, and their plan was quite risky.

However, upon careful analysis, since different armies had different responsibilities, only the Wulin Guards, Bing Su Guards, and Elite Cavalry Camp were most likely to be deployed. Yuan Che and Yuwen Yue were not in the Elite Cavalry Camp, so it was not a concern. Now, they only needed to paralyze the central organizations of the Wulin Guards and Bing Su Guards.

Zhong Yu said that at that time, a large fire would be set, and they could escape in the chaos. It was only then that Chu Qiao learned about this step of setting a fire, and she specifically reminded them not to harm the common people. After leaving the city, they would use the pre-built pontoon bridge to escape. In a blink of an eye, it was the day Xiao Ce was to leave.

Chu Qiao went to see him off as promised. Chu Qiao knew that Xiao Ce was no ordinary person, and she wanted to know if Xiao Ce would favor one side if Great Wei and Northern Yan went to war. Xiao Ce promised not to interfere. After spending these days together, Xiao Ce truly admired Chu Qiao and invited her to visit Liang if she had time.

Chu Qiao smiled and sincerely invited him to come to Northern Yan to ride horses freely if he had time. In a blink of an eye, it was three days before the wedding. Yan Xun and Chu Qiao drank the wine they had buried three years ago; it was time for a desperate battle. This battle was extremely perilous. For Chu Qiao's safety, Yan Xun quietly arranged for Zhong Yu to have Chu Qiao leave the city first.

Two days passed in a flash. Chun'er specifically wore a set of Northern Yan clothing, smiling brightly, hoping Yan Xun would like it when he saw it later. Yuwen Yue waited on Chun'er's inevitable path. He hoped Chun'er could dispatch someone to help him guard Cuiwei Palace, and that person was Chu Qiao. The wedding day was approaching, and only by having her by his side could Yuwen Yue feel at ease.

Chun'er agreed to help, and Chu Qiao was subsequently summoned into the palace. On the day of the wedding, Lan Shuyi took the opportunity to leave the palace to find Yuwen Huai and demand her son. For her son's sake, she did not hesitate to betray Chu Qiao, telling Yuwen Huai the news that Chu Qiao was Luo He's daughter and the successor of the Fengyun Order. At the same time, the palace was filled with joy.

Chun'er was dressed in her elaborate attire, happily waiting for Yan Xun to come and pick her up. Yuwen Yue, having gained an advantage, still feigned innocence, smiling and asking Chu Qiao why she hadn't left the palace yet, wasn't she afraid that Yan Xun would abandon her? Chu Qiao ignored Yuwen Yue. Yuan Song saw them and went up to them. He happily told Chu Qiao that he was Chun'er's escort, and would go with them to Northern Yan.

Yan Xun was also in grand attire, but his face was as cold as frost as he set off for the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. In the grand hall of the palace, the Emperor announced that Yan Xun was the new King of Northern Yan. He also hypocritically hoped that everyone would forget about the Marquis Northen Settler's rebellion years ago and not make things difficult for Yan Xun.

He truly wanted to kill Yan Xun yet also gain a good reputation. After Yan Xun departed, Zhong Yu announced the commencement of their operation. Their people, ambushed throughout Chang'an, exerted their utmost to complete their tasks. On the way to the Ancestral Temple, they passed Jiuyou Platform. Yan Xun recalled how his family's blood had stained Jiuyou Platform three years ago, and his heart surged with overwhelming hatred.

Just then, Zhao Dongting arrived with a troop of soldiers, claiming that Yan Xun's Yingge Court contained a large cache of weapons, indicating an intention to rebel. He Xiao led the Xiuli Army and the generals and soldiers of Northern Yan to rescue their lord. The Xiuli Army soldiers were filled with fighting spirit, and in less than a moment, they captured Zhao Dongting.

Yan Xun stepped down from his carriage with heavy steps, and with a sword, he struck down Zhao Dongting, avenging the Northern Yan soldiers who had died by Zhao Dongting's hand years ago. At this time, the streets were already covered with the corpses of Great Wei soldiers, and blood flowed like rivers. Having waited for three full years, Yan Xun was finally able to wipe away his humiliation today, shouting the words, "I, Yan Xun, have rebelled!"

and vowed to break out of Chang'an at all costs. Chun'er kept waiting for Yan Xun but he did not arrive, feeling restless, she anxiously went to the gate tower to look out. Suddenly, a soldier came to report the news of Yan Xun's rebellion. Chun'er's face instantly turned ashen, as if she had lost all vitality. She pretended to feel chest pain and took the opportunity to kill the soldier.

Chun'er used to grieve for a long time even when a palace maid died for her, but now, for Yan Xun, she dared to kill someone. Although still trembling with fear, Chun'er told her maidservant Caiwei to tell Yan Xun that she would no longer force him to marry her, and only hoped that he would not rebel.
