The Emperor of Nanyue passed away, and Beiyan, as an allied nation, and given the recent royal marriage, must select suitable representatives for condolences, after discussions with ministers, Ah Jiu dispatched a Commandery Prince and a Marquis from the Imperial Family, accompanied by several people from the Ministry of Rites.
At the same time, channels of information to Nanyue must remain open, and even more people are sent to the Northwest, keeping a close eye on the actions there.
Messages flow continuously like snowflakes from the Nanyue Imperial City and the Northwest back to Beiyan.
Although the Emperor of Nanyue's cause of death wasn't released publicly, it wasn't entirely hidden from the circle of nobles and powerful people. It was widely known that the Emperor of Nanyue liked practicing Taoism and consuming elixirs; his death was caused by excessive intake, leading to accumulated poison that erupted when his illness was beyond cure, with medicines proving ineffective.
