After the battle at the Nalan Clan, Li Chenfeng and Nalan Jie worried that tens of thousands of Imperial Family troops would enter the city, so they planned to seize the Imperial House and force them to surrender. Princess Yao Ye arrived alone and offered to surrender the empire in exchange for the Jia Ma Imperial House’s lives, and Li Chenfeng accepted with a condition that the Imperial Family leave the empire forever.
