They were Li Baiqing's grandmother, mother, and beloved, Yang Yuyan.
Li Baiqing had now led Huo Yan's army to attack Great Qin. Such a huge matter had long since spread throughout Great Qin. When the three women learned the news, they were overjoyed—because their grandson, son, and husband had come to save them.
The men of their family imprisoned in the dungeons might also be saved this time. They had suffered untold hardships in those cells, and now they might finally be able to come out.
However, they still understood the situation clearly. They were still in Great Qin's hands; Zhao Fu could kill them whenever he wished.
Especially now that Li Baiqing had inflicted tremendous losses upon Great Qin, Zhao Fu might take out his anger on them, or even use them to threaten Li Baiqing, leaving him caught between advancing and retreating.
That was why they had come to see Zhao Fu at this moment.
Zhao Fu sat upon the throne, his face cold as he looked at the three women before him. "What is it? If you have nothing to say, leave at once."
Li Baiqing's grandmother, Liu Yuexian, had taken pills that extended her lifespan and preserved her youth. She looked to be only in her thirties, beautiful and possessed of a mature charm along with a faint, alluring coquettishness.
"Your Majesty! We came because we hope you can reconcile with Baiqing. After all, we are family. So much time has passed, and you have already punished Baiqing's father and grandfather. They have been suffering in the dungeon all this time, and they know they were wrong."
Liu Yuexian spoke with a faint smile, doing her utmost to keep her tone gentle, afraid that one careless word might anger Zhao Fu.
Zhang Shuyun also spoke gently.
