Xi Lingxue returned to the camp and told Mo Yan, who was far away in the capital, the news of Prince Xin's death.

He also ordered Leng Chu and Leng Qing to return the soldiers to their original camp, and he took his two children back to the capital to recuperate.

Royal Palace

Mo Yan received news from Xi Lingxue and learned that Prince Xin was dead, and that Princess Xin, Prince Mo Heng, and Princess Mo Yun were imprisoned in the prison.

He ordered that the mother and her two children be demoted to commoners and exiled to the northern desert to farm, giving them a chance to survive.

For so many years, Prince Xin blamed Princess Xin for the fact that his legs were crippled. Whenever he got angry, he would beat and scold her, and never treated her as his legal wife.

For so many years, Princess Xin had lived a life worse than that of a slave, and her children were not around. Just when her children had grown up and returned home, before she had enjoyed the joy of family life for a few years, Prince Xin again plotted a rebellion.

Prince Mo Heng and Princess Mo Yun grew up in the palace and returned to Xinyang Prefecture after they became adults. They never participated in Prince Xin's rebellion. The brother and sister are kind by nature, and Mo Yan gave the three of them a chance to survive.

When they learned that the emperor had demoted them and their two daughters to commoners and exiled them to the northern desert to farm, they were so excited that they burst into tears. They thought they would surely die this time, but they did not expect the emperor to be merciful and spare their lives.

After they were sent out of the city, they knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, thanking the emperor for not killing them.

The ministers who were related to Prince Xin were demoted or killed! The fate of the ministers was decided at this moment. Some were exiled to the frontier, while others were beheaded.

The former left prime minister was demoted to a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel because of Ruan Yao's fault, and this time he could not escape the fate of being killed.

The emperor would rather kill an innocent person than let a traitor go. Although he is cruel, his determination to rectify the government will not change. Now the entire court belongs to him.

In this vortex of power, the emperor made a decisive choice, taking it as his responsibility to ensure the stability and tranquility of the country and making the right choice.

After the emperor had dealt with all matters, Xi Lingxue was about to arrive at the capital with her two children.

The youngest son Mo Yu kept asking the emperor every day when his mother would bring his brothers and sisters back to the palace.

Today, the Emperor ordered Eunuch Chen to bring Mo Yu here. He came to the main hall and asked, "Father, what is the purpose of calling me here?"

"Don't you talk about mother and brothers and sisters every day? They will soon arrive at the city gate."

Mo Yu said excitedly: "Have mother and brothers and sisters returned? I will go to the city gate to pick them up."

Mo Yan smiled and touched Mo Yu's head, saying lovingly: "Father also misses your mother, let's go together."

"Father, you only miss our mother and not our brother and sister? They will definitely be sad and upset after hearing this."

"Father misses them too."

"You only have our mother in your heart. The three of us were born as a byproduct to play with."

"What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Has your father been treating you badly during this period?"

"You were very nice to me when my mother was not around, but I became an eyesore when she came back."

"Of course. Your mother is the daughter-in-law that the emperor married in a formal ceremony. The emperor must be good to her. When the emperor grows old, she will accompany him throughout his life."

"When you brothers and sisters grow up, you will have to start your own families and raise your own children, but your father only has your mother to accompany him, so you should be nice to your mother when you are young, otherwise you will be lonely and helpless in your old age."

"How could the Queen Mother not care about you? Moreover, even if my brother and I get married and start our own family, we will not ignore you. We still have to honor you and the Queen Mother."

"Good boy, your father loves you well."

Mo Yu pulled Mo Yan's hand and couldn't wait to leave the palace, and rode in a carriage towards the city gate.

Mo Yan looked at his young son and couldn't help but feel that time flies. The scene of marrying Ling'er that year was still vivid in his mind. In a blink of an eye, they had been married for fifteen years.

During these fifteen years, their feelings not only did not fade, but became even stronger. In the more than three months since Ling'er left, he missed her coming back day and night.

The food was not tasty when she was not around, and I tossed and turned on the dragon couch, unable to fall asleep. In my free time, my mind was always filled with her figure, which could not be shaken off.

Thinking that he would soon see his wife whom he hadn't seen for several months, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

When they arrived at the city gate, Xi Lingxue's team had not arrived yet, and the little guy kept sticking his head out to check from time to time.

"Father, when will the Queen Mother arrive? Maybe we have gone astray and they have already returned to the palace."

"We didn't see them along the way, so we must have missed them. They should be here soon, so don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came slowly. Leng Sha hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen's team is here."

Mo Yu hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Leng Ao and the others riding horses in the distance. He excitedly jumped off the carriage and ran over.

Leng Ao saw Mo Yu coming over and said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is here."

Xi Lingxue and Wan'er were riding in the same carriage. She lay in the carriage to recuperate. After Xi Lingxue's careful care, her injuries had improved a lot, but were not fully healed yet.

Xi Lingxue lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Is Yu'er here?"

Mo Yu rushed over like a small cannonball, "Mother..."

When the guards saw Mo Yu running over, they quickly stopped the car. The little guy jumped onto the carriage before it even stopped.

Xi Lingxue said quickly: "Slow down, slow down or you might fall."

"I miss my mother and my sister, and I want to see you as soon as possible. Where is my brother?"

"In the carriage at the back."

"Royal sister, you miss us Yu'er too. How are you doing when we are not in the palace?"

"I almost died of poisoning. You won't be able to see me when you and my brother come back."

"Don't talk nonsense, aren't you fine?"

"If it weren't for the timely rescue by our mother, all you would be looking at now would be a pile of bones."

"Pah, pah, pah, stop talking nonsense."

"Mother, why didn't you tell me that Yu'er was poisoned?"

"When I got there, I saw that you and your sister were all seriously injured. I didn't have time to tell you about this. On the way back, I felt that there was no need to talk about it, so I kept silent about it to prevent you from worrying."

"Royal sister, my brother is well now. He is the lively and energetic me again."

"That's good."

"Royal sister, are you and brother injured? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt to see our little darling."

“Do I still have this effect?”

"must have."

Mo Yan walked in, "Son, I greet the Emperor."

Mo Yan came in and sat next to Xi Lingxue, holding her hand and smiling lovingly, "Father, it's great to see you three back."

"I promised to bring the two children back safely, and I will never break my promise."

"I know there's nothing you can't do."

Mo Yan looked at Xi Lingxue affectionately and whispered: "Wife, you have lost weight..."

Mo Yu rolled his eyes and said in dissatisfaction: "Father, my sister and I are still watching here. You are the king of a country, how can you do something inappropriate in front of a child? Don't you want your image as an emperor?"

"Can't you just pretend you don't see? If you have good eyesight you should go down instead of interrupting our chat."

"Although the father is the ruler of a country, he is also the husband of your mother. Isn't it a good thing that the father and mother love each other? Are you happy if they have to quarrel?"

"Royal sister, you see, when the emperor sees the queen mother talking nonsense, we siblings are an eyesore. Now you know how I have been through all these years!"

Wan'er laughed, "How did you get here?"

"I always thought they were a real couple, and we three siblings were just a by-product."

Mo Yan hummed softly, "Indeed."

"Mother, you don't care about father either."

Xi Lingxue deliberately teased Mo Yu and said, "You already said that we are a real couple, why should I care about him? He did the right thing."

Mo Yu pretended to be pitiful and said: "Royal sister, look at how well they work together. I am so generous that I didn't run away from home for so many years."

Wan'er smiled and comforted her brother: "Yu'er, you are a man, don't worry about these things. My brother and I have rarely seen our father and mother since we were young. Aren't we more pitiful?"

Mo Yu rolled his eyes and laughed, "So, I am the happiest."

There was a burst of laughter from the carriage.

At this time, the convoy had arrived at the palace gate, and Xi Lingxue quickly let go of Mo Yan's hand.

"Wan'er, mother will come to help you."

"No need, mother. I am almost healed from my injuries and can walk without any problem."

"Royal sister, let me help you. Don't disturb the affection between father and mother."

"Little brat, what do you know about love and affection?"

“That’s what’s written in the picture book.”

Mo Yan led Xi Lingxue out of the carriage and asked, "Where did you see the picture book?"

"That's what was written in the sketchbook that the Seventh Uncle took last time. The two little guys were so affectionate and there was no shyness at all."

"There are so many books that Old Seven can read, but he chose to read these filthy books. This brat saw him. I will forbid him to read these books when he returns."

Chen Wangfu

Prince Chen was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, reading a pornographic book. He muttered to himself as he read, and kept praising this book as better than the previous one.

Suddenly, he sneezed one after another. The attendant beside him hurriedly asked with concern: "Master, are you sick? I will call the imperial physician."

"No, I'm fine. Don't disturb me while I'm reading."

The servant glanced at him and cautiously reminded him, "Master, if the Concubine sees you reading this book again, you will definitely be scolded."

"She can scold as she pleases, and I will watch both of them. How good."

Concubine Yi walked in. Prince Chen heard the noise and hurriedly stuffed the pornographic book under the quilt, then jumped up.

He smiled and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

"I came to see what you are doing?"

"What else can I do? Study and practice!"

"Chen'er, you have reached the age of marriage. I plan to choose a wife for you. You must choose a wife who is of equal status to you, no matter what kind of girl you like."

"Mother, the title of my son's wife does not require a match of equal status, as long as the character is dignified. Don't choose a noble family, as long as you like it."

"Why?"

"I just want to be a free and easy king. I don't want to attend court every day, and I don't want to get involved in state affairs. I just want to live a carefree life. This is good."

"Why do you have to fight for the imperial power to the death? Doesn't the emperor's surname belong to Mo? We are all family, why do we have to fight over it? It's so boring."

"Are you afraid of becoming the second prince that the emperor is afraid of?"

"I have no interest in state affairs, nor do I want to become the object of my brother's jealousy. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life with my mother."

"In the past, mother wanted to fight for the imperial power. Ever since Prince Xin confiscated his property, mother was afraid that you would follow in his footsteps. Since you don't want the imperial power, mother doesn't want it either. Now mother will worry about your marriage. After you get married, give me a grandson. I have nothing else to ask for."

"One grandson is not enough. I must give you two grandsons. I have mastered the key points. I just need to prove it in practice."

"Chen'er, are you reading some messy and filthy book again?"

"No, ever since my mother reminded me of the books that were not suitable for a prince's status, I have already ordered people to deal with them."

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, ask Quyi."

Concubine Yi looked at the attendant standing beside her and asked, "Qu Yi, have you helped Chen'er deal with those filthy books?"

"Replying to the Toffee, I have indeed dealt with it."

"That's good, so as not to be seen by others and lose face."

As soon as Concubine Yi left, Prince Chen took out the pornographic book from under the quilt and read it with great interest.

Qu Yi stood aside, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally walked to the door to keep watch for King Chen.

Mo Yan and Xi Lingxue returned to the palace, and the family reunited, sharing their experiences and feelings with each other. After dinner, Mo Yan couldn't wait to take Xi Lingxue back to Fengyi Palace.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Mo Yan closed the door, leaned over and kissed her sweet lips. The two kissed passionately, their eyes full of tenderness and desire.

A man's deep and magnetic voice uttered, "Ling'er, I miss you so much..."

"Me too."

Hugging each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat, Mo Yan looked at Xi Lingxue with desire in his eyes.

Afterwards, Princess Mo Yan carried Xi Lingxue to the bed in the bedroom.
