Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the twelfth year of Tianbao during the reign of King Beichen, Crown Prince Beichen Yi died in battle, and the entire nation mourned.

Kyoto is draped in mourning.

Some say that on the battlefields of the northwestern border, Regent Beichen Yi fell into an enemy ambush. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded tens of thousands of Beichen Kingdom's army, with a stark difference in strength between the two sides.

Even so, the regent still led tens of thousands of Beichen soldiers to kill hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and finally died on the battlefield after blood drained away.

Some say that the Allied forces of the Three Kingdoms planted spies within the army of the Northern Star Kingdom. They used underhanded and deceitful tactics to strike a fatal blow. While the Regent King was engaged in battle, the spies ambushed him from behind, plunging a dagger into his heart.

Despite his grievous injuries, the Regent continued to fight against the enemy, winning the final battle but perishing amidst the vast sea of corpses, leaving no trace behind.

People spread tales of Beichen Yi's bravery, and all mourned for the hero who had protected the nation of Beichen.

At this time, within the main tomb deep in the imperial mausoleum.

Yunan sat on the coffin, nibbling on Xianyunzhi, only faintly hearing the sound of funeral bells. She didn't know which member of the royal family had passed away.

Xianyunzhi is indeed a good thing. Having been imprisoned in the imperial tomb for almost seven days, eating just a few leaves every day can keep me full of energy.

"Beichenhan, once I leave, I'll blow up your ancestral grave!"

With her phoenix eyes narrowed, Yun An'an cursed at Beichen Han.

With a series of booming sounds, the stone door that had originally sealed off the main tomb chamber slowly creaked open.

Yun An'an was quick-eyed and swift. She leaped forward and grabbed the assailant's neck with her hand.

"Han Qing"

The visitor was none other than Han Qing.

"An An."

Seeing Yun AnAn safe and sound, Han Qing, covered in blood, finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm here to save you, come with me."

Han Qing grabbed Yun An'an's hand and left the underground palace. As they walked out of the northern suburb imperial mausoleum, corpses were scattered everywhere along the way.

These are all the guards protecting the underground palace.

When she returned to Kyoto again, Yunan felt not only a heavy atmosphere of sorrow but also the gazes of many people upon her.

That was a very complex look, woven together with pity, sympathy, incomprehension, and more.

"We have arrived at the Yiwangfu. Many thanks to General Han for saving my life."

"If we don't return to Prince Yi's Residence, AnAn and I will go back to General Han's Mansion."

Han Qing had no intention of letting go. He pulled Yun An An and was about to leave.

“As I am the princess of Yi Wangfu, I naturally should return to Yi Wangfu. General Han, please rest assured, I will repay your favor.”

Breaking free from Han Qing's hold, Yun Anan stepped into Yi Wangfu without looking back.

Seeing Yun An'an return, Qingfeng stepped forward, suppressing his sadness and managing a strained smile.

"Your Highness, it's a relief to see you safe and sound. I was worried sick."

"What's wrong, with that gloomy expression This Queen has only been imprisoned by Bei Chen Han for a few days, I haven't died."

Yun'an returned to her study. She had been locked in the main tomb of the imperial mausoleum for several days, hadn't washed her face, and even her smell was sour.

Qingfeng, who was guarding the door, clenched his fists tightly, unsure how to tell Yun'anan about the Wangye's matter.

Although there are rumors that the King has died in battle, his body was never found. They believe that the King would not die so easily.

The princess is currently pregnant. If she were to know about the prince's affairs and become agitated, it would be a serious problem.

Akagi, caught in a dilemma, paced back and forth anxiously.

Where is Yun'er

"Mr. Lao Wang, you're here! That's wonderful!"

Seeing Old Wang Ye was like seeing a savior. Qingfeng almost knelt down to him.

Besides Lao Wang, Yun Qianshan and You Changyuan also came.

Hearing that Han Qing had saved Yun An'an from the imperial mausoleum, they hurried to Yiwangfu without stopping.

The queen was bathing and dressing, the king's affairs...

"Let me tell you,"

On the other side, Yun An'an, who had just finished showering, stepped out of the study and saw three old men sitting in the courtyard.

The moment the door creaked open, You Changyuan, Lao Wangye, and Yun Qian Shan all turned to look at Yun An An. Their gazes met.

"What kind of wind brought all three of you here I just 'escaped', after I blow up the palace, I'll make delicious food for you to celebrate, celebrate!"

Yun An'an didn't have the mood to cook now. The only thing she wanted to do was blow up Beichen Han's palace and ancestral grave.

"Damn girl, do it first. Your father has something to say to you."

"What's wrong So serious."

Not only was Yun Qian Shan gloomy, even Old Wang Ye and You Chang Yuan had solemn expressions, as if the sky were falling.

Yun Qian Shan looked at Old Wang Ye and Yu Chang Yuan, then let out a long sigh before slowly asking Yun An An about what had happened these past few days.

"Where would I know"

She was imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum, never seeing the sun. All she had was a coffin and a pot of Xianyunzhi, whose leaves had been eaten clean, leaving only flower roots.

By the way, there was also the sound of funeral bells a few days ago.

"Who died from the Beichen Imperial Family"

The last time I heard a death knell was when Han Ying passed away. This time, who is it

The North Star family isn't very big, it couldn't be Rongrong, could it

"What happened to Rongrong"

"Please sit down, you are not the princess."

Is not Beichen Rongrong

"Beichen Han How did he die, tell me so I can be happy."

Oh my god, heaven opened its eyes! North Star Han is dead without her lifting a finger. Lucky number 666!

"Though His Majesty was gravely wounded, he did not die."

Old Wang was talking about all sorts of things that had happened these past few days.

Speaking of it, Han Qing brought troops into the palace to save Yun An'an from the imperial mausoleum and wounded Bei Chenhan, taking the key.

Hearing this, Yun An'an's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

When I saw Han Qing at the imperial tomb, he was covered in wounds. It turned out that he had forced his way into the palace to steal the key to the imperial tomb.

Alas! She really didn't want to owe anyone favors, but this time she truly owed Han Qing a huge favor.

"There's one more thing!"

Old Wang hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. But Beichen Yi's death couldn't be kept secret forever. If it came out from someone else's mouth, it would likely be more damaging to Yun An'an.

"What's the matter, Old King Can you just tell me everything at once I still have to go and collect demons."

Today she must blow up Beichenhan's ancestral tomb and the palace.

"That is... about, about Bei Chen Yi's matters."

"Well, what's wrong with my uncle"

Yun'an wiped her still-dripping hair, waiting for Lao Wangye to continue.

Let me speak.

Seeing Old Master Wang, he didn't know how to speak. Yun Qian Shan decided to speak for him.

Beichen Yi died on the battlefield a few days ago, his remains are unknown. The funeral bells that rang a few days ago were in mourning for Beichen Yi.

Yún Qiān Shān told Yún n n about Běi Chén Yì's death in the last battle.

As the Three Kingdoms Alliance army surrounded tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Star Nation, although nearly half of the million-strong army was wiped out, every single soldier and general from the Grand Marshal Regent King Beichen Yi to the common foot soldier perished in battle.

Yun An'an blinked her eyes, and a buzzing sound rang in her ears.

After hearing the words "Bei Chen Yi died on the battlefield," I couldn't hear anything else. My mind kept replaying those words, "Bei Chen Yi is dead," over and over again.

"Girl, don't be so hasty. That's what people say outside, but you have to believe in Beichen Yi. When I was young, I was surrounded by enemy troops in the forest. Everyone said I was dead, but I survived."

Seeing Yun An'an with no change in her expression, the three of them became even more worried.

"That's right, Lord Wang is right. We have already sent people to the northwest border to look for him. This old man believes that the Regent King will return safely and sound."

"You are now pregnant, do not be impulsive. I believe the Regent also believes in himself. Wait seven days, just seven days, the old man will send someone to find Beichen Yi and they will return with news."

"Okay."

Three simple words fell.

Yun'an got up and walked back to the study, closing the door tightly.

"What should we do, Yun'er is now pregnant. If she gets angry and suffers a miscarriage, how can this be good"

The three of them were anxious. They had thought about dozens of ways for Yun An'an to express sadness, but they had never imagined that Yun An'an would be so calm, a calmness that was frightening.

Go and bring Rongrong here. Let Rongrong accompany Yun'er for this period of time.

At present, this is the only option. We must find Beichen Yi as soon as possible. If he's alive, we need to see him. If he's dead, we need to see his body.

Night engulfs the heavens and earth.

In the study, Yun An in black put down an envelope and quietly left the Regent's Mansion.

Tap tap, tap tap~~

The sound of hooves echoed along the sides of the street, right as Yun An'an was leaving Kyoto, a sound of hooves arose behind her.

Han Qing rode a horse and caught up to Yun An'an.

"If you're here to persuade me to go back, please don't bother."

"No, I am going to the northwestern border with you."

Han Qing's purpose for this trip was not to persuade Yun An'an to return to Yiwangfu, but to journey with her to the northwest border to find Beichen Yi's body.

Why

His voice grew colder, and a frost spread across Yun An'an's eyes.

"Want to hear the truth"

Han Qing smiled and walked toward Yun An'an, leading a horse.

Only after confirming that Beichen Yi is dead can I rest assured, and you will also give up.

Han Qing has her own motives.

One concern is that Yun An'an might have an accident on her way to the pregnancy check-up.

Second, she needs to see North Star's body with her own eyes so that Yun An'an can accept the truth that North Star has truly died.

By that time, he had taken Yun An'an back to Kyoto, killed Beichen Han and proclaimed himself Emperor, while Yun An'an became his only Empress.

"Your wish will surely come to naught."

"Will it fall short Just take a look with your own eyes, or are you too afraid to, AnAn"

Han Qing smiled, seeing Yun An'an not refuse, raised her whip and followed her footsteps disappearing into the darkness.

Meanwhile, at the Regent Prince's Mansion, after discovering a letter left behind by Yun An'an, everyone in the mansion was thrown into chaos.

Old Wang was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"How could that girl be so impulsive! This old man already sent people to look for her, why does she have to insist on doing things her way!"

Yun An'an was pregnant. The journey to the northwest border was bumpy. If it were truly proven that Bei Chen Yi was dead, and if Yun An'an had an accident... what then

"Hurry, Qingfeng, summon the guards from Yiwu Mansion to pursue them. Send a carrier pigeon to notify Yuansinan to intercept them halfway. Once we find them, bring them back even if we have to tie them up."

"Yes."lly."Yunan An stretched out her thumb to give everyone a thumbs up.As expected of her student, she's putting her knowledge to good use and learning quickly."Okay, let's go. Destination: the graveyard....
