Dan Yang watched from the side This scene was exactly the same as the prophecy made by He Lan Xin Yue earlier Meng Ji looked at his puppet being manipulated by another puppeteer, appearing incredibly skilled and satisfied
General Zheng approached, indicating that Shang Guan Zui should be prepared. Shang Guan Zui becoming the Great Shang King meant that they would be a vassal state of the Northern Rong in the future. Dan Yang also watched from the side, feeling delighted. This scene was exactly the same as the prophecy made by He Lan Xin Yue earlier.
Shang Guan Zui asked General Zheng if he knew what puppets were, and General Zheng mentioned the incident of Yan Shi and King Wu presenting puppets. Shang Guan Zui mentioned that they had seen two kings in Dong Lin before, and one of them could manipulate trees. General Zheng was greatly surprised and asked why Shang Guan Zui hadn't mentioned it earlier.
He Lan Xin Yue felt frustrated but couldn't explain what was happening. He Lan Xin Yue's sister compared it to having a playmate who suddenly started playing with someone else, which made He Lan Xin Yue unhappy. However, He Lan Xin Yue's sister thought it wasn't a big deal and suggested that He Lan Xin Yue should get used to it.
He Lan Xin Yue's sister mentioned that Tai Chu was just a tree without a heart and advised He Lan Xin Yue not to put too much thought into Tai Chu. Tai Chu was originally coming to find He Lan Xin Yue and happened to overhear the conversation.
Zhao Guang Ye arrived at the Qing Bai Palace, and He Lan Xin Yue also came over. He Lan Xin Yue thought that they should make the fire burn more fiercely and made a prophecy. People from the Great Shang side indeed dug something out, claiming that the Great Shang would perish under Shang Guan Zui's rule.
Shang Guan Zui's subordinate informed him about the matter. Shang Guan Zui said that if it was destiny, he wasn't afraid. The subordinate expressed gratitude towards Shang Guan Zui and promised not to leave his side.
Tai Chu came to Princess Qiu Yi's place and talked about He Lan Xin Yue's recent behavior, feeling frustrated. Tai Chu mentioned that He Lan Xin Yue had been distant and sometimes said unpleasant things. Tai Chu drank some wine and made the trees on Princess Qiu Yi's side bloom, saying it was for her to enjoy.
Princess Qiu Yi approached He Lan Xin Yue and mentioned the flowers Tai Chu had bloomed for her. He Lan Xin Yue was unhappy and said it was Tai Chu's business and had nothing to do with them. Princess Qiu Yi said that Tai Chu would be with her in the future, but He Lan Xin Yue responded that it depended on Tai Chu. Princess Qiu Yi lacked confidence, which was why she came to provoke He Lan Xin Yue.
Zhao Guang Ye learned about the situation and approached Princess Qiu Yi, asking her not to act that way. Princess Qiu Yi believed it was Tai Chu's matter and blamed Zhao Guang Ye for deceiving her earlier. She wouldn't have signed the contract with Dong Lin or settled for only six cities if it weren't for Tai Chu.
Zhao Guang Ye mentioned that if others found out about Tai Chu's anomaly, it could bring trouble. Princess Qiu Yi admitted her mistake if it was for Tai Chu's benefit. Zhao Guang Ye discussed the matter with He Lan Xin Yue and suggested allowing Princess Qiu Yi to return, as it would be unfair to keep her hostage.
Zhao Guang Ye stated that Princess Qiu Yi was of royal blood, and people like them have carried the burden of the people since childhood. They couldn't just do whatever they wanted. Even if Princess Qiu Yi was angry, she wouldn't break the alliance due to a little grievance. Meng Ji watched as his puppet Shi An skillfully controlled the other puppets, feeling satisfied.
Meng Ji remarked that if their master saw Shi An, he wouldn't say that Meng Ji was useless. Shi An didn't know who the master was, and Meng Ji mentioned that the master had previously presented puppets to King Wu of Zhou, which helped them win battles. However, King Wu later became afraid of the puppets and distanced himself. Meng Ji stated that these people would pay the price for their foolishness.
