Xue Chongzi knocked Gong Shangjiao unconscious and took him back. Before leaving, Gong Yuanzheng ran to bring back the head of Han Dao Ke, as it would be useful later.

Gong Shangjiao woke up not long after being unconscious. After all, the symbiotic Gu in his body was no joke.

When Xue Chongzi saw that he had woken up, he apologized solemnly. Although he had good intentions, he was the one who knocked the man unconscious after all, so he still had to say what he had to say.

Gong Shangjiao did not blame him, but said to him very seriously: "Thank you~"

If Xue Zhongzi hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unpredictable. He was so caught up in the bloodthirsty mood that he didn't dare to think about what would have happened if his brother Yuanzheng had stepped forward.

Therefore, when he expressed his gratitude to Xue Chongzi, there was no resentment in his heart. He was like a steady mountain, standing firm and unmoved.

When they returned to the palace gate, it was almost dawn. Gong Shangjiao went to Zheng Palace to wash himself before returning to Jiao Palace. As soon as he returned to the backyard, he found it dark. He stood at the gate of the yard and took a look, then walked towards the study. Sure enough, he saw a small bulge on the bed in the rest room behind the study.

Gong Shangjiao showed a doting smile on his face, and slowly walked to the bedside and sat down. He did nothing but looked at Chu Chu who was sleeping soundly.

Perhaps she felt his gaze, she opened her eyes hazily and looked towards Gong Shangjiao, then moved towards Gong Shangjiao very naturally.

When Gong Shangjiao saw her actions, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he even moved towards her cooperatively.

After she rubbed herself into Gong Shangjiao's arms, Chuchu closed her eyes and said, "I'm back~"

Gong Shangjiao hugged the man and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt towards him, then he replied softly, "I'm back."

Just when Gong Shangjiao thought Chuchu had fallen asleep again, he heard the little girl's cute voice again: "I want to cuddle and sleep~"

Gong Shangjiao chuckled, climbed onto the bed carefully, and carefully held the person in his arms: "Why did you sleep here? How do you feel these days? Are you still not feeling well?!"

Chuchu shook his head: "Recently I always feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep and I'm a little lazy."

In the past, it was the same when she was with Gong Shangjiao. When she felt tired, she would go to sleep by herself, and then when Gong Shangjiao finished his work and she was not awake, Gong Shangjiao would take him back.

Gong Shangjiao was away these days, so Chu Chu almost slept in the study.

Gong Shangjiao kissed Chuchu on the head lovingly, "Go to sleep~ I'm here!!!"

Chuchu fell asleep quickly. Gong Shangjiao watched Chuchu for a long time, thinking that when she woke up, he asked his younger brother Yuanzheng to come over and help.

As he thought about it, Gong Shangjiao's originally restless heart slowly calmed down, and he fell asleep.

This time, the dream no longer contained the bloody and disturbing scenes like purgatory, nor the wailing sounds like the howling of evil spirits. Instead, it was replaced by a peaceful and tranquil scene, as if entering a paradise isolated from the world.

In this dream, the sky is as blue as a gem, white clouds are floating, the warm sunshine shines on the earth, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming, and they emit charming fragrance. The breeze gently blows across the cheek, bringing a fresh breath and a comfortable feeling.

The mountains in the distance are undulating and continuous, like a beautiful painting. A clear stream flows through the mountains, the stream gurgles and jumps with silver light. The trees beside the stream are lush and green, and the birds sing happily, as if welcoming people's arrival.

There is no war, killing or pain here, only harmony, peace and happiness.

People's faces were filled with satisfied smiles, and they were full of love and kindness to each other. Children were playing on the grass, their laughter echoing in the air; the elderly were sitting under the trees, chatting and enjoying the family happiness.

Gong Shangjiao was confused for a moment when he looked at this beautiful picture. He looked at his hand and saw no familiar person around him. He was clearly holding his baby's hand.

When Gong Shangjiao realized that Chuchu was not around, he wanted to turn around and leave. The moment he turned around, Gong Shangjiao saw two familiar figures: "Mom~"

Gong Shangjiao took two steps forward and stopped when he was about to approach the two people. He had encountered such scenes too many times, but every time when he wanted to hug them, their figures would disappear. After so many times, they were no longer willing to appear in his dreams.

But this dream made Gong Shangjiao feel particularly real.

Perhaps they understood what Gong Shangjiao was panicking about, so the two figures on the opposite side came over and hugged him. Gong Shangjiao even heard his younger brother's coquettish voice as he did in the past: "Brother, I miss you so much!~"

Gong Shangjiao's expression was a little bewildered, but more of it was nostalgia. He looked at his younger brother Lang who was hugging his thigh, and replied with red eyes: "Brother misses you too~"

Gong Langjiao gave his brother a big smile and then hugged Gong Shangjiao tightly.

The woman next to her watched the scene silently with a smile on her face.

Gong Shangjiao raised his head and saw his mother looking at him tenderly. Her eyes were full of love and concern, which made his already red eyes even more moist. He called softly, "Mother..." His voice was a little hoarse, but Mrs. Ling across from him could still hear it clearly. She smiled slightly and replied softly, "Hey!"

Madam Ling slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Gong Shangjiao's face, as if she wanted to convey all her thoughts and love to him through this action. "Shangjiao must have had a hard time all these years?" Her tone was filled with a hint of heartache and pity. Gong Shangjiao shook his head slightly, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to start.

Madam Ling seemed to see through his thoughts and continued, "But fortunately, there is someone who can be with you now. Mother is really happy." As she spoke, a look of satisfaction and relief revealed in her eyes.

Gong Shangjiao shook his head slowly, and then nodded. Was it hard? It was indeed hard. In order to avenge his hatred and for the sake of the entire palace, he had been calculating and holding on all these years. But no matter what, now all these efforts have not been in vain, and the result is still good.

He also thought that he would be alone in this life, with no one to accompany him. Now that he knows that he has found the person who can accompany him for the rest of his life, I think his mother will be relieved.

That night, Gong Shangjiao always had a smile on his face. When he woke up, his eyes were no longer as solemn as before, and he looked relaxed and at ease.

When Chuchu saw Gong Shangjiao like this, she didn't say much, but just handed over all the things in her hands to Gong Shangjiao. She originally wanted to go find Xue Zhongzi and the others to play, but was hugged by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Gong Shangjiao.

It was a rare moment for him to act coquettishly and show weakness, asking Chuchu to accompany him.

What can Chuchu do? Her man should be spoiled by herself.

Gong Shangjiao looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside, with a smile on his face. Such a life is really good~
