After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Although he thought so, he still felt a bitterness in his heart when he saw Queen Hyomin crying. He naturally interpreted it as a reflection of his miserable life in the past.

Shao Yihui's indifference quietly cracked when Queen Xiaomin said, "Son, I am your mother, you have suffered..."

That sound seemed to be far away in the sky, like a compassionate Buddhist sound, shocking his soul, and like a thunderbolt, it struck his heart that was sealed in the iceberg and fell into the warm flow. He waited and searched for it for more than 30 years...

He coldly replayed the scene several times. He knew every expression that would move Queen Hyomin, and every word that would break her heart. But at this moment, he couldn't make any expression, and he couldn't say a word.

He just kept a blank expression, feeling the warmth of her palm.

In a daze, Queen Xiaomin said something to him, nothing more than his life experience, her regret and heartache, she was really about to break...

Very different from the eccentric woman just now.

Shao Yihui's Adam's apple rolled slightly and he swallowed something.

……

Qianlong Valley.

Shangguan Shu ordered his men to collect all the rabbits and mice nearby and then release them. He then ordered his men to follow, and half an hour later, they found several caves on the mountain wall.

Shangguan Shu was about to lead his men to sneak in, and Emperor Jianxi and Zhao Cong would certainly follow. So the group went up the mountain before dark. The mountain was deliberately set up with false formations, and when they saw people coming up, the remaining group of Shao Yihui's men all followed the men in black and fled.

Shao Yihui wanted to "accidentally" jump off the cliff, but was grabbed by Shangguan Shu!

Shao Yihui looked back and saw that Emperor Jianxi was holding Empress Xiaomin tightly. Empress Xiaomin had tears on her face and didn't notice him jumping off the cliff at all...

Emperor Jianxi had no one else in his eyes. He immediately hugged Empress Xiaomin and shouted in ecstasy, "Minmin... I finally see you!"

Queen Hyomin silently swallowed the words, "Bold fat old man..."

So this is Zhao Rui...

How did you get so fat?

Why don’t you pay attention to your body management?

How could she know that this was already managed...

A group of people knelt down around him, and said in thunderous voices, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, the Queen..."

Zhao Cong cried, "Mother, thank goodness you're okay, I was scared to death..."

Empress Xiaomin nodded to Zhao Cong and said to Emperor Jianxi, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you when we return to the palace."

After saying that, she looked at Shao Yihui who was next to Shangguan Shu, her eyes softened, and she thought to herself that these two people were really pleasing to the eyes. Hehe, she had always been dissatisfied as to why the child born to the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife was more handsome than her own. Now, humph!

In front of so many people, she still kept her composure and just asked someone to take Pei and Shao Yihui back.

Emperor Jianxi readily agreed. He smiled, but there was a hint of secrecy in his smile. In fact, he also had something to say to her.

The group set out on their journey. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but in reality, there were undercurrents.

Empress Xiaomin and Emperor Jianxi rode in the same carriage, while the Crown Prince rode in another. Interestingly, Empress Xiaomin and Xu Shao Yihui also rode in one.

Now, some things are self-evident.

Emperor Jianxi looked at Shao Yihui's face, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and turned to ask about the sufferings that Empress Xiaomin had endured over the years. He also complained about the two children. As he spoke, Emperor Jianxi once again held Empress Xiaomin in his arms. Empress Xiaomin struggled, but was held even tighter.

Queen Hyomin secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, it's so hot to be close to you with all your fat..."

Emperor Jianxi said, "Minmin, do you know how much I regret not agreeing to your request since you left? I only want you."

Queen Hyomin pursed her lips and said, hehe, it was just an excuse that she didn't want to sleep with the emperor, but you took it seriously.

Emperor Jianxi let go of Empress Xiaomin, held her face in his hands, and said affectionately, "In the ten years since you left, I have never touched anyone in the harem again."

Queen Hyomin: At your age, you should be feeling a little exhausted.

Emperor Jianxi: "Minmin, I have already told Ying'er that after you come back, I will completely leave the harem empty. I only want you to accompany me, and I will also accompany you..."

Queen Hyomin: Who wants an old man like you to accompany me? At my age, if things go smoothly, I should be promoted to Queen Mother.

Emperor Jianxi was tender and affectionate, and he tucked Empress Xiaomin's hair behind her ears with a silly smile, "Minmin, why don't you say anything?"

Empress Xiaomin took a deep breath and looked at Emperor Jianxi teasingly, thinking that they were an old couple, yet he still had to do so many fancy things with her.

But she said, "I appreciate your majesty's kindness and I have no way to repay you, no words to express it."

Emperor Jianxi listened to Empress Xiaomin's familiar tone, voice, and sarcastic tone, and his long-silent heart seemed to come alive in an instant. He was excited and turned his head to kiss Empress Xiaomin's face.

"Minmin, I miss you so much."

Queen Hyomin could no longer maintain her fake smile.

Damn it Zhao Rui, a middle-aged couple kissed, and I had nightmares all night long!

The emperor and the empress expressed their deepest feelings to each other. Zhao Cong was very nervous. He sat in the carriage with a pale face, not moving at all.

He recognized Pei of course. He wanted to say something to her and ask her why she was here, but he didn't have the chance.

And why did the Emperor and the Empress allow Shao Yihui to ride in the carriage?

Even Runzhi and the old Duke were riding horses.

Zhao Cong suspected that Pei had told everyone what happened back then. If that was the case... then he would be finished.

The crime of deceiving the emperor!

Not only will he be deposed, but he will also be executed!

Zhao Cong was filled with worry and wanted to call Shangguan Shu in for some advice. But then he thought again, maybe Runzhi had always been loyal to the real prince. Once he knew that he was a fake, would he still be loyal to him and give him advice to deceive the emperor?

Zhao Cong sighed, feeling depressed, as if there was a bottomless abyss ahead and he had nowhere to retreat.

As the group of horses were marching, suddenly, a messenger came up on horseback, stopped in front of Shangguan Shu, and reported in a low voice, "Grandmaster, there is no unusual movement in the capital, but..."

"Just what?"

"The Wei Mansion is holding a funeral. Wei Yuan is gone."

Shangguan Shu was startled, then guessed something. He pursed his lips slightly, smiled in a secretive way, and said after a while, "Okay, I understand."

After the messenger left, Shangguan Shu pulled the reins tight, walked to the front of Emperor Jianxi's carriage, and said, "Your Majesty, when you left the capital, Your Majesty ordered me to stay in the capital to guard against any accidents. The messenger just came to report that everything is fine in the capital."

A deep "hmm" came from the carriage.

Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly. Naturally, he didn't need to guard against Wei Fu. After learning about Wei Ju's disaster, how could Emperor Jianxi rashly send out all the garrison troops in the capital? Emperor Jianxi had already ordered him to make arrangements. If anyone made any unusual movements, it would be a good opportunity to catch them in the trap.

It seems that Wei Fu is not as cowardly as he thought.

He really wanted to give it a try, but was stopped by Wei Yuan.

But this is a dead end, it's just the difference between dying early or late.

Shao Yihui has already finished the task, except for the last step.

Shangguan Shu's eyes darkened. The Wei family was finished.
