He Yunxing stepped up onto his own warhorse, following closely behind Helian Zhao. In that instant, the resentment between them suddenly vanished into air, smoke giving off all around them. The Junior Marquis, who had been looking forward to urging on a military horse since his adolescence, had grown up at flying speed in the wake of only a couple months of campaigning.
Blood and fire were cast into an iron-made cradle. The smell of makeup that polluted Fullmoon River had been completely washed off of his flesh.

helian zhao was hot as fuck this chapter lmao right before he died priest made me like him, he did care about the country and was willing to die for it, he was really brave, what a general should be, which doesn’t mean he was fit to be an emperor. and was he yunxing in love with him? i feel like he was, i don’t remember seeing them interact before bc it’s been months since I read the first half of the novel.

Honestly ….part of me knows that the crown prince is scheming and that theres little he wont do to win……but l believe that his bottom line is Beiyuan…..l know it sounds like l have forgotten that he _killed_ Beiyuan himself but l haven’t….actually l think its because he killed Beiyuan that l believe he is sincere here …..He is by no means the right guy for Beiyuan and he can’t love him a as he deserves and his love is more selfish than anything ….wanting to keep Beiyuan close _wanting to let him go in a moment of ruthlessness to self_ murderous from time to time_fearing him…. regretting letting him in …cherishing him_hating his indifference….but if this were his story we could have said “he did the best that he could do ” with the little heart he was able to piece together from what fate gave him….when he cherished Beiyuan he did so with every fibre of him _and when he cut him off he did so ruthlessly ….such that he didn’t spare himself either and didn’t give himself an out….everymoment in loving Beiyuan was deep and real…..
Thats why l can say that l believe he never used Beiyuan

I can’t believe I cried because of HLZ. He was an absolute prick through and through and he has done heinous things but like He Yunxing, I cried when he was fighting for the country. Even if it’s the last good thing he can do in his life, he was not entirely hateful because of it. Is it really his fault for having such an incompetent father? Growing up in such a hateful place, it is no wonder he will become hateful too.
At this point, no matter what HLY does, it makes me think he has other motives for doing things. I even feel like he sent JBY to WX knowing WX likes JBY is like using JBY to win over Nanjiang. Idk if I’m too biased but I can’t help but see his actions in a bad light. After all, he is someone who can dote on a child and also calmly order that child’s death.

It sounds like Helian Yi is allowing Jing Qi to leave with Wu Xi 🤔 But the Crown Prince is a shemer and he still has Zhou Zishu on his party…. will JQ and WX really be allowed to leave?
Thank you for translating this chapter!

I still do not trust the crown prince. I think he will return Wuxi because he is afraid of a division rising against him or he wants to ask for their support.😕
