“This can’t go on,” I frowned. “In this state, Consort Yin must have noticed something. If you truly can’t let go, why not go find him? Meet him once, and consider it a final closure.”
She lowered her head and whispered, “…impossible.”
“Why impossible?”
She suddenly looked up, her gaze burning, and grabbed my hand. “A Yao, is it right to do anything, without limits, for the person you love?”
“This—” I was at a loss. How could I answer such a question?
“You’ll understand, right?” she looked at me eagerly. “Because An Jin is such a person, so you must understand.”
“I can indeed understand. However—”
She seemed to have suddenly solved a long-standing problem and relaxed. “A Yao, I’ve decided.”
“Decided what?” I was stunned.
“I’ve decided to compete with you for the position of heir. Sorry, I went back on my word, but I must do this. A Yao, from today, we’ll each use our own means.”

“She really said that?”
An Jin furrowed his brow, turning to pace in the room.
“I nodded. It’s not a problem that she wants this heir position; I just don’t understand why she suddenly changed her mind. There must be something wrong. And her previous words were strange, ‘doing anything for the person you love’? Was she talking about herself?”
“It seems something must have happened during Jiang Yunqiao’s trip,” An Jin concluded decisively. “When I chatted with Consort Yin earlier, I could tell he was in low spirits and distracted. Based on your conversation, Jiang Yunqiao’s change of heart must be because of the person she loves, the so-called ‘snow youth’. But why would she compete for the heir position for him?”
“I sighed. It seems the key to everything lies with this snow youth. But Jiang Yunqiao only said he’s from Qi State. How can we investigate?”
“Actually, it’s not difficult. We just need to start with the people around Jiang Yunqiao, and we’ll definitely find something,” An Jin smiled slightly. “Leave it to me to investigate.”
“Are you going to investigate?” I hesitated, thinking that this was not Qi Kingdom and not An Jin’s territory, so how could he investigate?
