At the same time, she had a firm enough grip on Qingluo Territory, with Wang Jujun there to advise her.
When the first waves of turmoil hit, she had quickly retreated to Qingluo Territory and pulled in all her forces, staying out of trouble and protecting herself.
That stance had also made her somewhat safer.
As for Zhao Wan, she wasn't on the list of royal successors, and her status was above the fray. She was far safer than Princess Qingluo and her husband.
That let Wang Dong relax a little.
But the situation in the New Song Kingdom grew more perilous by the day. Princess Qingluo and her husband had no major financial conglomerate backing them. While that meant they wouldn't be thrust onto the front lines to face fierce competition right away,
it also meant their own strength was far inferior to that of the heirs backed by major financial conglomerates!
If certain rivals set their sights on them, they could be in danger.
Through his link to Black Stone Kingdom's internal network,
Wang Dong learned that the King had sent two Star Destroyers to the New Song Kingdom half a month earlier, under the command of the veteran general Chen Detong. They had passed through a stargate in the former territory of the Freedom Light Federation in an attempt to reinforce Princess Qingluo and her husband.
But they had been stopped at the New Song Kingdom's customs checkpoint and were now stuck there.
Moreover,
a week earlier,
the New Song Kingdom had begun unilaterally shutting down all its external stargates!
Given the situation, Wang Dong naturally didn't hide the news that the Sky Peng Horizontal was returning to Black Stone Kingdom.
A short while later, a call from the King came through to the Sky Peng Horizontal.
