After the crisis in the Capital City was averted, everyone's attention turned back to the frontline outside the Capital.
Xiao Zhen was waiting every day for Ling Hua's news delivered by the Feiying. By the time Sun Qiaoyan's wound had healed enough for her to get out of bed, he finally received Ling Hua's message.
At the moment he opened the letter, his heart finally settled back into his chest.
Sun Qiaoyan immediately asked, "Your Majesty, is it good news?"
Xiao Zhen nodded, "Great victory in Youzhou. The troops from Ling Mountain arrived two days ago. Yan Qing and Ling Hua have killed Ning Ye and Wen Xingzhi, and have brought the troops of Biyun Mountain and Youzhou to surrender. However, Yan Qing was seriously injured. Although there's no danger to his life, I'm afraid they'll only return to the Capital once he's healed."
Sun Qiaoyan sighed in relief, "As long as they're alright, that's indeed good news."
