Commander Qu left feeling frustrated.
Chuzheng instructed Mu Mian to take the person to Jiangyue Pavilion.
Mu Mian: "..."
Send him to Yann Shijun?
Mu Mian dared not question Chuzheng's decision and delivered the person, along with the barrel, to Jiangyue Pavilion.

Commander Qu didn't know how Chuzheng dealt with Ning Yao, anyway, he never saw Ning Yao again thereafter – nor did he see the corpse.
Ning Yao just disappeared like that.
With Ning Yao gone, the faction supporting Ning Yao held out for a while, but eventually couldn't continue.
Whether sincerely or pressured by the circumstances, the date for Chuzheng's ascension was set.
"Xiao Zheng."
"Father." Chuzheng called.
Wen Wu entered: "You've been quite worn out recently, haven't you?"
Wen Wu looked noticeably older, with gray hair at his temples.
It's heard he's been at the Empress's side during this time.
"It's been alright."
Wen Wu brought some food and laid them out for Chuzheng one by one.
