Currently, from the Xiao royal family down to thirty-seven officials, all have dispatched deathsworn to search for Jin Yan. Jin Xian, knowing she could no longer protect Jin Yan, brought him to the Baixiao Hall, hoping they could offer protection. However, with the entire city pursuing him, even if Baixiao Hall mobilized everyone, the chances were only seventy percent.

Therefore, at Jin Xian’s request, Baixiao Hall prepared to convene the Sanyan Council, inviting Lord Bai, Xiao Chong, and Lord Chi, Xiao Yu. As for Prince Yong’an, Xiao Se, Jin Yan believed he had no reason to protect him—unaware that Xiao Se was actually the one who truly could, because he represented Ming Dedi. Soon, Baixiao Hall established the Sanyan Council at Qianjin Terrace.

Xiao Yu was the first to enter the room, where Jin Xian and Ji Xue were seated, and Jin Yan was hidden behind a screen. Xiao Yu remained ninety percent confident and hinted that as long as Jin Yan handed over the letter, he could still maintain power and influence for the rest of his life. However, wealth comes with danger—how long he could survive depended on his fate.

Shortly after, Xiao Chong arrived alone, promising that if Jin Yan surrendered the letter, gave up all martial arts, and entered the Celestial Prison, he would not be mistreated. There would still be hope to live on; if the new emperor married or a natural disaster struck, a general amnesty could restore his freedom. As he departed, Xiao Chong emphasized that no one in Tianqi City could be more trustworthy than him, and there was no better option.

If Jin Yan chose someone else, he would dispatch the Court of Judicial Review to hunt him down to the ends of the earth. Because of Xiao Chong’s words, Jin Xian fell silent for a moment and then suggested Jin Yan should choose Lord Bai. After all, it only meant losing martial skills and some years of freedom—after release, he could still live freely.

But Xiao Yu had already figured out Jin Yan’s character and was certain that he could not bear to part with power, and would surely choose him. Just then, Xiao Se appeared with Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo, declaring that Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu were gambling at a table, and he had come to overturn the table. Xiao Se presented a personal pardon decree issued by Ming Dedi, guaranteeing Jin Yan’s absolute safety and immunity from pursuit.

Jin Yan made a decisive choice. Xiao Yu flew into a powerless rage, while Xiao Chong had no choice but to admit that Xiao Se always thought one step ahead of him. According to Baixiao Hall’s rules, all unrelated persons had to leave Qianjin Terrace and were not to approach for a while. That night, Xiao Se personally came to escort Jin Yan and Jin Xian to the palace, with Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo responsible for their protection.

Along the way, ghosts and monsters prowled the streets; blades lay in ambush on Songyu Street, already drawn. When the King of Killers, Li Tian, blocked the carriage, everyone realized that Grand Preceptor Dong Zhu was on the treason list. Jin Xian leapt from the carriage and, together with Sikong Qianluo, carved a bloody path for it. But just after Xiao Se had driven the carriage a short distance, the eunuch Jin Xuan blocked the road.

Jin Xian arrived in time to help Xiao Se, and learned that Jin Xuan was the one who had killed Jin Yu. Despite Jin Xian's exceptional swordsmanship, she still could not defeat Xu Huai Gong, and Xiao Se gradually fell into disadvantage as well. At the critical moment, Li Changqing led palace guards to deliver an imperial decree, summoning Xiao Se to the palace, with others to accompany him.

Jin Xuan felt a chill—this conspiracy involving the entire court’s civil and military officials had come to its end. Upon arrival at the palace, Jin Yan personally presented a letter signed by all the officials. Ming Dedi promised not to execute Jin Yan and handed him over to Jin Xian’s custody. Then, he threw the letter into the brazier and burned it. Many of the signatories were powerful ministers.

Ming Dedi knew most had no intent to rebel, only that they believed the old emperor should abdicate in favor of the capable—after all, Beili belonged to the Xiao clan, not Xiao Ruojin. This incident served as a veiled warning to the officials: anyone harboring ill intentions would only meet death. Xiao Se accused Jin Xuan of defying imperial orders and blocking the carriage, but Jin Xuan falsely claimed he did so to rescue Jin Yan.

Jin Xuan, as Ming Dedi’s companion since childhood, held deep affection with him. Even though Ming Dedi knew he was in the wrong, he only ordered him confined. Both Xiao Se and Xiao Chong understood this well. Xiao Se never expected to bring Jin Xuan down today. After everyone left, Ming Dedi kept Hua Jin behind alone and made a request: that she use her medical skills to help him live a few more days. Now, Ming Dedi cherished every scene he could witness—but Tianqi City was still unstable, with storms brewing, and much remained to be done.
