Nanchu Capital City, June 1st.

The birthday banquet of Emperor Chu has passed, and the marriage between the north and the south has been completed.

Early this morning, the sky was gloomy, strong winds were blowing, lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain broke out.

Beihu Wanyan Hong, who had originally planned to return today, did not leave.

Nangong Lie, who had originally planned to leave tomorrow, stopped Nangong Wen and did not let her come to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Bai Li Su, who was not planning to leave and was preparing to find an opportunity to leave the Xixia team, came to Prince Jing's Mansion early in the morning in the rain.

After breakfast, Ye Ling took an umbrella and went to the pharmacy, not in Xiuzhuxuan.

Ye Ying was reading a book in the room.

Ye Chen was detained and was not allowed to go out, nor could he play in his bamboo house. He was in the room and played with the two puppets that Nangong Heng gave him yesterday. The puppets were made exquisitely and skillfully, and their heads and limbs could be rotated.

The ground was covered with a velvet blanket, and Ye Chen sat on it, holding a puppet in one hand, "directing" them to "fight" and having a lot of fun.

"Ye Ying."

Baili Su's low voice suddenly came from outside the door. Ye Ying's finger, which was about to turn the page, paused.

Ye Chen looked up: "Mom, someone is outside!"

Ye Ying ignored it and heard Baili Su's voice sound again: "I'm leaving."

Ye Chen hugged two small puppets, got up, looked curious, and asked outside, "Who is leaving? Who are you?"

Baili Su stood in the corridor, wearing the wooden mask on his face, and was thin, but he didn't dare to answer Ye Chen's questions...

"Mom, someone is calling you outside!" Ye Chen reminded Ye Ying.

"No need to worry." Ye Ying shook his head, turned over a page of the book, and continued to read.

Ye Chen's little face was full of confusion. He looked at the closed door and was curious about who the person outside was.

"I just received the news that my father has passed away." Baili Su's voice sounded again, with a hint of pain.

Ye Ying frowned and closed the book in her hand.

"I want..." Baili Su spoke, his voice stopped, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Is it okay to take a look at the child?"

Ye Chen put down the puppet, put on his little shoes, ran to Ye Ying, and shook it with her hand: "Mom, can I open the door and see who the uncle outside is?"

Looking at Ye Chen's eager face, Ye Ying's eyes were dim, she sighed, nodded and said, "Okay."

Ye Ying put down the book, picked Ye Chen up, and walked to the door.

Ye Chen used his little hand to pull the door, but he was weak and could not open it.

Ye Ying opened the door, and a cool breeze blew over the rain. The next moment, a person was blocked in front of him.

Ye Chen stared at the tall man in front of him: "Who are you?"

Not far away, Ye Chen stretched out his hand and touched Baili Su's mask.

Baili Su stretched out his hand, Ye Ying handed Ye Chen over and turned back to the room. Baili Su only saw her cold side face...

Ye Chen took off Baili Su's mask with his little hand and his eyes lit up: "You are the immortal uncle! You look like my immortal uncle! You are here again!"

"Yes." A crystal light flashed in Baili Su's eyes. He looked at Ye Chen's little face and said softly, "Thank you for saving me last time."

"No need to thank you! Uncle Shenxian, are you here to play? Can you not leave? I have a big bull and a niu, and my aunt can make good milk tea!" Ye Chen hugged Bailisu's neck and said seriously with a little face.

"Uncle has something to do, I just pass by and come to see you." Baili Su gently stroked Ye Chen's little face, and a faint smile came out from his face, but two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Uncle God, why are you crying? Are you missing home?"

"Yes, uncle misses home, and he is going back today. He is here to say goodbye to you." Baili Su tried hard to make his voice sound normal.

"Will uncle come to see me again?" Ye Chen asked Baili Su.

Baili Su nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Ye Chen raised his little face, tried hard to raise his head, kissed Bailisu on the forehead, patted Bailisu's shoulder with his little hand and said, "It's okay, don't cry." He fell down and cried when he was even younger, and got up by himself. This is how my mother coaxed him.

Baili Su burst into tears again, and he pushed open the empty door, put Ye Chen in, turned around, and rushed into the vast rain curtain.

Ye Ying hugged Ye Chen, looked up again, and saw only a blurry back, disappearing from sight...

"Mom, Uncle God is crying." Ye Chen flattered his mouth, "I want to cry too, I don't know why."

"Be good Chen'er, he will come to see you again." Ye Ying said softly.

"Really?" Ye Chen asked Ye Ying, "Will Uncle God really come again?"

"Yes!" Ye Ying nodded heavily.

Ye Chen looked outside again and saw a man holding an umbrella into the yard.

"Auntie!" Ye Chen waved to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling went to the corridor and picked up the wooden mask on the ground, which was wet by the rain.

"Sister, Uncle Ya just told me that the Emperor of Xixia has passed away." Ye Ling sighed slightly, "That man just came to say goodbye. Have you met?"

Ye Ying shook his head and nodded again.

Ye Chen said to Ye Ling: "Auntie, I just saw the immortal uncle who looks like me again! He missed home so much that he cried! He said he was going home and would come to see me again!"

Ye Ling wiped off the rain from the mask with her clothes and handed it to Ye Chen: "Well, he will come again. Let the baby play with it. I will see the immortal uncle again next time, and give it to him."

"Okay." Ye Chen took the mask, covered his little face, and smiled again, "Mom, do you look good?"

"It looks good." Ye Ying nodded, put down Ye Chen, and let him go inside to play.

The two sisters stood in the corridor, watching the rain getting faster and faster, and were speechless for a moment.

"Sister, did he say anything to you?" Ye Ling spoke, breaking the silence.

Ye Ying shook his head: "No, he just came to see the child."

"Because he dared not." Ye Ling sighed slightly, "It will be at least half a month since his father passed away. During this period, his brothers could not do nothing and wait for him to ascend the throne. For various reasons, he had no power of his own in Xiliang City, and even his brother would not allow him to go back alive. I think it was not for the throne, but for his mother. But this trip was dangerous, and he might not be able to come back alive. Therefore, he left without leaving a promise."

The door was half open, Ye Ying turned around and looked at Ye Chen who was playing with the wooden mask, frowned and said, "If he comes back alive, I will let Chen'er recognize him as his father."

The affairs of adults have nothing to do with children. Now that Ye Chen is too young, he thinks that he is just "the immortal uncle who looks very similar to him". When he gets older, he will understand some things.

Ye Ling shook her head: "It depends on God's will."

When Ye Ling finished speaking, a lightning flashed through the sky, causing thunder. Today's celestial phenomena are a sign of great danger no matter how you look at them.

Xixia and his party hurriedly left Chujing in the heavy rain.

Baili Su didn't care about others, and he walked first, so he was the fastest.

The mute slave was going to follow Baili Su, but Baili Su gave him a death order to stay and from today onwards, he will be the main one.

The news of the death of the Emperor Xixia is still a secret, especially for the other three countries. Because this is the period when civil strife is most likely to occur, and if foreign enemies take advantage of the situation, the situation will be even more difficult to control.

But such a big news cannot be blocked.

Later that day, Nangong Lie of the Eastern Jin Dynasty received a report first.

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. Nangong Lie was wondering why the people in Xixia walked so quickly. When he received the news, he looked shocked.

The Emperor Bailifu of the Western Xia was in his prime and had always been healthy. The Western Xia royal family has always been calm, and those years Bailiu, who was seriously ill and short-lived, did not cause any turmoil.

Now, Baili died suddenly, and the cause of death is unknown. Baili Su is in Southern Chu, and the Western Xia Dynasty has become in chaos.

"Crown Prince, what are you thinking?" Nangong Heng entered the door and saw Nangong Lie frowning and thinking.

Nangong Lie looked up: "Lao Qi, the Emperor of Xixia is dead."

Nangong Heng was stunned for a moment: "When did it happen?" He went to practice martial arts with Ye Ling last night and came back early this morning. He went to bed on a rainy day and just got up now. He didn't know that Baili Su had left.

Nangong Lie told Nangong Heng the information he received, and Nangong Heng looked inexplicably: "This is too sudden! Bai Li Su goes back alone, I think he is seeking death!"

Nangong Lie shook his head: "His life and death depends on his own ability. We can wait and see what changes we have, and we don't need to do anything."

Although the Eastern Jin and Western Xia have officially formed an alliance, the boat of friendship between countries has always been overturned.

Moreover, the main purpose of the alliance is to join forces to the outside world. The Eastern Jin cannot control the civil strife of the Western Xia and will not control it. If the Western Xia royal family cannot handle the situation smoothly this time and the civil strife is serious and affecting the foundation of the country, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's wise choice is to give up this ally and take advantage of the situation to rob.

Even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty does not take action, Nan Chu and Bei Hu will not miss the opportunity.

In the dispute between the four countries, once a certain country is "seriously injured", the situation it will inevitably face will be divided up and swallowed up by the other three countries.

This is the rules of the game, cruel, but realistic.

"Brother of the Crown Prince, I want to go to Xixia to have fun." Nangong Heng said to Nangong Lie.

Nangong Lie frowned: "No! I just want to join in the fun all day long. Now that Xixia is not peaceful, with your temperament, what should I do if I hurt myself? When the rain stops, I will go home with me!"

"I'll go and watch the fun, and I promise not to interfere!" Nangong Heng raised his hand and sweared.

"Put down your hand! In short, you are not allowed to go!" Nangong Lie slapped the table and said unquestionably, "Lao Qi, you should have a degree of playing! If this continues, it will sooner or later burn you!"

"Brother Prince, I will go home after watching the fun. I'll ask my father for my words!" Nangong Heng finished speaking. When Nangong Lie reached out to grab him, he got up and ran away. In the blink of an eye, there was no sign of people.

"Come on! Take the Seventh Prince back!" Nangong Lie shouted coldly.

"What's wrong with Brother Qi?" Nangong Wen pushed the door out of the room next to him and asked in confusion.
