Prince Mu of Qingyao died young, a great regret for the people of Qingyao.
Ten years later, the Emperor of Qingyao united the land and became its ruler.
It is said that after Prince Yu's rebellion was suppressed, he died amid the chaos of battle. General Nian Qian had won many distinguished victories for Qingyao, but the emperor merely placed him under house arrest at a private residence outside the city.
Servants at that residence also say that General Qian has a peony that no one is allowed to touch. He tends to it personally and carefully every day. At last, in the second year after Mu was buried, a branch burst into bloom.
