News that a delegation from the Nanhu was on its way spread quickly through the imperial court.
Those not in the know assumed they were coming to negotiate terms regarding the battle of Long City. Only a select few knew the true purpose of their visit: to rescue the captured Tuoba Yu.
But it was a rare event, regardless.
Rumors ran rampant throughout the Capital City.
Yet one of the key figures in this affair, King Yan Nan, wasn't much involved in the discussions. He spent most of his time accompanying Princess Qingyang.
The father and daughter hadn't seen each other in years, but there was no trace of distance between them.
Princess Qingyang wished she could tell him every interesting thing that had happened in the Capital City over the past few years. Although she had written to him often, it was never as satisfying as telling him in person.
