The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu called Tao Tao over and coaxed him with toys and snacks.

At the same time, Tao Tao and Shen Aozhen were also tested on the spot.

"Tao Tao, your older sister has something to tell you. Are you mentally prepared?"

"Princess, have you helped me find my mother?" Tao Tao's big eyes darted around. The moment she saw this older sister at the door, she felt a strange sense of security.

"Yes. This is your mother. She came for you. She misses you very much," Yun Mujiu replied softly.

The Pavilion Master Qian laughed loudly, pointing at the faces of the mother and daughter: "They look so alike, they must be related by blood!"

She then laughed and said, "Both of them have a small red mole below their earlobes; they're even similar in such a subtle detail!"

Shen Aozhen knelt down to talk to Tao Tao, her eyes red and swollen. She cried, and unexpectedly, Tao Tao started crying too. Suixi stood to the side, silently wiping her own eyes.

Yun Mujiu was also very reluctant, but Tao Tao had to go back to her real family, didn't she?

She and Ye Xiaohan had investigated some prominent families in the Eastern Empire beforehand, so she now knows some things about the Shen family.

With Shen Aozhen's confession, the truth of the past was pieced together.

Shen Aozhen married her beloved and gave birth to a child, but due to serious illness, she had to be sent to a secluded mountain village to recuperate. Many times, she was on the verge of death. Even though she wanted to go home to take care of her child, she was powerless to do so and was afraid that the germs on her body would affect her weak child.

She didn't know that her illness was caused by someone, making her unborn child weak as well. She didn't know that she had given birth to a boy, but also a girl; her husband's family simply didn't want her to know because they favored boys over girls.

It is unknown whether, when she was almost fully recovered and returned home, her husband's family, in order to control her, put some poison into the child's body again, and then had the child kidnapped by villains.

These people didn't expect her to be so resolute; she completely woke up when she learned of her child's accident. She wanted nothing but to find her child. So she abandoned everything and single-mindedly wanted to find her biological child.

As everyone knows, the young master was abandoned in Zhongyue Capital during his abduction, and died of illness at the hands of an elderly couple who tried to adopt him.

The young master's younger sister was abandoned on a street in a slum on the outskirts of the capital and was found by Suixi.

To Yun Mujiu's surprise, Tao Tao and the young master's biological father was not from a powerful family, but a prince from the Eastern Empire! However, after the child disappeared, Shen Aozhen resolutely divorced her husband and no longer had any contact with her husband's family.

The truth has now come to light. Shen Aozhen asked Suixi to take Tao Tao out to play, and then turned around and asked the Pavilion Master Qian to fulfill the three rewards she had promised on the spot. That is, without violating the rules of Soul-Stealing Iris and Star Moon Continent, Soul-Stealing Iris could promise to grant three wishes to the person who finds the child.

In addition, she personally handed Yun Mujiu a gold note containing thirty million taels of gold.

Shen Aozhen could see that her child had encountered many kind people, and these people genuinely cared for her child. If it weren't for Ye Wang and Yun Mujiu, she might have missed out on many things in her life.

Before leaving, Shen Aozhen thanked Yun Mujiu and Suixi, and then asked Suixi if she wanted to go with them.

Suixi smiled faintly: "Tao Tao can go back with her family. As for me, I have my own mission and tasks, so I'll just stay in the Prince's Mansion."

Tao Tao was heartbroken and cried loudly while hugging Yun Mujiu, Suixi, Fusang, and Wei Bai.

Shen Aozhen said, "I will bring her back to visit when I have the chance." Looking at Yun Mujiu, she added earnestly, "Of course, Princess Ye, if you come to the Empire, I will definitely treat you well."

Yun Mujiu raised an eyebrow and nodded. Judging from Shen Aozhen's words, the other party must know something about her and Ye Xiaohan's situation, and also know that she and Ye Xiaohan are very likely to go to the Eastern Empire in the future.

Since the other party meant no harm and was genuinely inviting her, Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "Alright, we must visit Miss Shen and Tao Tao when we have the chance."

Tao Tao left, laughing and crying at the same time, and Yun Mujiu was also reluctant to part with her, tears welling up in her eyes.

Steward Zeng sniffled and comforted her, "It's alright, Your Highness. There will be other opportunities to meet. If you and the Prince have more children, the manor will be even more lively."

Yun Mujiu smiled but didn't say anything. When she turned around, she saw the smiling Pavilion Master Qian.

She asked, "What is your relationship with Miss Shen?"

The Pavilion Master said, "An old friend."

"Oh." Yun Mujiu shrugged and gestured for him to leave. "It's not because you can't have the one you love, is it?"

The Pavilion Master's expression changed slightly: "How is this possible!" However, his hurried steps as he left betrayed his chaotic state of mind.

Yun Mujiu smiled thoughtfully and sighed softly.

Turning around, she casually remarked to Wei Bai, "I'm afraid that once Miss Shen returns to the Eastern Empire, she will definitely cause quite a stir. She won't let those who harmed her and her son get away with it, and the person in question happens to be a prince of the Eastern Empire. That's interesting."

Another letter from Yun Mujiu arrived at Ye Xiaohan's main tent, reporting on her recent situation, especially her formal meeting with the Shen family of Dongyang.

Ye Xiaohan then opened Wei Bai's letter, in which Wei Bai exaggeratedly described Yun Mujiu's heartbreaking tears and reluctance to part with Tao Tao.

Ye Xiaohan thought of Yun Mujiu's letter, in which she also mocked Wei Baisui and the others for crying like fools, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Are you reluctant to part with your child? That's okay. If you like, we can have many more children of our own in the future!"

...

Three days later, a group of people led by Yun Mujiu arrived with the military resources they had been preparing in the capital.

A group of people suddenly arrived at the northern border.

Prior to this, the people of the Northern Frontier never appeared in Zhongyue's military camps or battlefields, because the Northern Frontier was essentially a small independent country of Zhongyue, and they would not always stand on the same front as Zhongyue to fight together.

But this time, the Northern Frontier has made a move.

Ye Xiaohan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the young man standing under the tent, and then at the group of Jingwei and the large caravan behind the man.

He said coldly, "The Ling family of the Northern Boundary also wants to join the battle?"
