After more than a year, Su Yunling's journey to Yanbei finally ended.

When the carriage drove away from Yanbei City, she leaned against the window and looked back. Although this place was far from being as prosperous as Shangjing, she was very happy because she was with her loving family.

Because of her arrival, Yanbei is no longer a desolate place where no grass can grow.

She felt very pleased when she saw the rows of lush green trees not far away taking deep roots in the land.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, have a safe journey..." Outside the carriage, people who came spontaneously to see them off shouted excitedly at the convoy.

Su Yunling retracted her head and her eyes just happened to meet Xiao Jichen who was leisurely riding on horseback. The moment their eyes met, the scene of the man working on her last night suddenly popped up in her mind. She blushed and immediately avoided his half-smiling gaze and decisively pulled down the curtains.

"Haha...Prince, the princess seems to be shy." Fei Peng teased.

"Shut up! Go to the pass ahead and take a look..."

Yin Daiqiong in the carriage saw Su Yunling's blushing face, and it was obvious that the rift between the couple no longer existed.

Thinking about what Mrs. Qian said in the morning about the servants in Chuixingyuan washing the bloody sheets, as someone who had experienced it, what was there for her not to understand?

Yin Daiqiong was delighted and couldn't help pretending to be silly and joking: "It's been more than a year since we got married, but she still acts like a shy little wife. It seems that Junyang still has some tricks to coax his wife."

Su Yunling's face flushed upon hearing this...

Inside the carriage, the women were chatting and laughing, with laughter audible from time to time.

On the mountainside hundreds of feet high, a lonely figure quietly watched the convoy passing by.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the face that had appeared in his dreams countless times.

Tuoba Ye didn't turn around and leave until the convoy completely disappeared into the canyon.

He promised Su Yunling that he would be a good emperor, and he would definitely keep his promise.

After returning to the palace, he summoned Ashina Shi first. Ashina Shi could not hide her excitement. Su Yunling was gone, and her king finally belonged to her alone.

Originally, she had arranged for someone to take Su Yunling's life directly, but she didn't expect that Su Yunling was so lucky to be rescued.

It's infuriating just thinking about it.

Fortunately, Su Yunling had already set out back to the capital of Dayin, which was thousands of miles away from the Western Rong and could no longer threaten her.

She changed her mind and became happy again, and when she saw Tuoba Ye, she pounced on him and tried to act coquettishly like she used to.

But he was stopped by the guards around Tuoba Ye.

Without waiting for her to get angry, Tuoba Ye personally issued an edict: Ashina Shi has become spoiled and domineering due to her favor. Therefore, she is deprived of her position as a concubine and sent back to her native tribe, where she can marry anyone she wants.

After hearing this, Ashina Shi's face turned pale instantly. How could she accept that the human heart, which had been nurtured by power, was being thrown back into the quagmire of lowliness?

But Tuoba Ye was determined and Ashina Shi had to leave.

He no longer wanted to keep a substitute by his side to deceive himself. Fake is fake, and it will not become real just because it looks like someone.

Even if his Qiqi chooses someone else, he will always wait for her, even if she will never come...

When Ashina Shi was dragged away, he screamed at the top of his lungs and struggled, refusing to leave at all costs.

Tuoba Ye was no longer soft-hearted, because he knew that Ashina Shi was never reluctant to leave him, but was reluctant to leave the power and wealth he gave her.

She refused to return to the tribe because after entering the palace, she had used her status to do many things that took advantage of people's misfortunes and killed people.

Now that she has been sent back to her hometown, one can imagine what kind of life awaits her.

After sending Ashina Shi away, Tuoba Ye began to work diligently in government affairs and strive to govern the country. He carried out major reforms to the slavery system, allowing slaves to have human rights.

But this is a long and arduous task, and it will take a lot of time to slowly realize it. But as long as there is a good start, as long as the ship goes in the right direction, it will eventually reach the shore...

A month later, Su Yunling and others finally returned to Shangjing.

Emperor Qing Yan, along with all the civil and military officials, personally welcomed Yin Daiqiong, the Queen of the Great Yin, and the Prince of Jin, who had made many military achievements, at the city gate.

Su Yunling spotted Fu Wanshu and the Xu family behind the crowd.

She curled her lips happily and greeted them.

Fu Wanshu was afraid of the difference in status, so in front of so many people, he just returned a salute from a distance.

Su Yunling couldn't wait to see her Baicao Tang, but she still had to go to the palace for a banquet first, and then was dragged back to the palace by Xiao Jichen.

I thought I could finally have a good night's rest after a long journey, but Xiao Jichen, who had eaten meat, started to behave himself.

He tortured her in all kinds of ways at night until her legs were shaking and her voice was hoarse, and then he called it a day...

The next morning, Su Yunling, whose legs were weak, finally saw the opportunity and prepared to go to Baicaotang to meet Fu Wanshu while Xiao Jichen was away.

However, as soon as he went out, he was blocked by a woman.

Su Yunling looked down and found that the person coming was Xiao Jichen's concubine Li Rongrong.

At this moment, Li Rongrong knelt in front of her and cried: "Sister Princess, please ask the prince not to drive me away, I don't want to leave the palace..."

Su Yunling frowned. What was going on?

"This matter is not up to you. It's useless to ask anyone for help!" Xiao Ji Chen's cold voice did not allow for any argument.

Only then did Su Yunling know that after returning to Beijing, Xiao Jichen dismissed his backyard and did not keep any of the five women that Emperor Jing Zhao had forced upon him, including Li Rongrong.

After receiving a large sum of compensation, the other four people happily left the house to live a new life. Only Li Rongrong refused to leave.

She said that even if she would never be favored by Xiao Jichen, she didn't care.

"I really admire Your Majesty, I..."

"Do you really think that I don't know your little tricks? If you insist on staying, I will demote you to a lowly concubine."

Xiao Jichen's words finally made Li Rongrong look helpless.

She wanted to stay because she was prepared to become a concubine without any effort and compete for the position of queen in the future.

As for whether Xiao Ji Chen favors her now or not, it doesn’t matter. She is still young and has plenty of opportunities to be favored.

Since God has given her the chance to become the Crown Prince's concubine, she naturally cannot let this opportunity slip by.

But Xiao Ji Chen did not intend to give her this opportunity. No matter how she cried, he remained indifferent.

Li Rongrong's crying stopped only when two men were brought in from outside the mansion gate.

Su Yunling saw the panic on her face and then seemed to understand, no way? No way?

How dare she cheat on Xiao Jichen?

Sure enough, the two men confessed everything after being beaten with only thirty sticks.

On the surface, the two men were Li Rongrong's close bodyguards, but in reality they were her adulterers. The three of them had secretly committed adultery more than a hundred times.

It turns out that Li Rongrong is not the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi at all, but a prostitute in a brothel.

Emperor Jing Zhao deliberately concealed her identity and sent her into the palace specifically so that he could use various means to make Xiao Ji Chen indulge in beauty and ruin his future.

Not long after Li Rongrong went to Yanbei, she could not bear the loneliness, and the three of them started having an affair.

Originally, Xiao Ji Chen had no intention of exposing the matter. After all, he had never touched this woman, and she did not act arrogantly in the mansion. But since she was so ambitious and did not know when to stop, he naturally would not give her any more face.

"Come here, take these three people away and beat them to death with sticks..."
