At the same time, Mu Yunyao felt that she was very lucky. She was afraid that if it were anyone else other than him, no one would act as he pleased, right?

Mu Yunyao sat for a while, then lay down to rest.

Now is not the time to think so much. Although she feels a little regretful that they cannot get married now, but, they still have a long time to live together, right?

After calming down, I soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Mu Yunyao was still having breakfast with the princess when Xiao Qianmo came over to say goodbye.

"Yun Yao, I have to go first. I have left enough manpower for you. Please be careful on the road."

Mu Yunyao originally wanted to say no, as she had brought enough people with her.

Although the 30,000 female soldiers are here to help the prince stabilize the political situation in the southwest, she can also mobilize the 5,000 soldiers under the eldest princess.

There won't be any problem in escorting the princess back to Beijing.

After what happened that day, she originally wanted to return the token for mobilizing troops to the princess, but she refused.

He only said, "Since I've given it to you, please take care of them for me."

The eldest princess then handed over her five thousand private soldiers to Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao also made arrangements for them according to the princess's wishes.

For those who had married and had children here and wanted to stay, she gave them severance pay and allowed them to stay here.

If you still want to follow the princess back to the capital, then just go back to the capital first.

At that time, we will decide whether to incorporate them into other armies or let them return home.

But even so, many who had already married locally were still willing to send the princess back to Beijing first and then return here.

There are also some cases where the father was originally in the army, but after so many years, he has become too old and is replaced by his son.

It wasn't as Mu Yunyao had initially thought that all of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled.

After gathering these, he let the people brought by Zhan Wuhui train for a period of time.

Even her eldest brother couldn't help but sigh, saying that they were indeed the elite selected back then, even though they were old, their kung fu had not deteriorated at all, and they were not inferior to the men under the King of the Southwest.

With Zhan Wuhui's affirmation, Mu Yunyao felt relieved.

In a corner where no one could see, she gently put her arms around Xiao Qianmo's waist and buried her little face in his chest.

He said in a somewhat muffled tone.

"Don't worry, most of the people around me will be fine, but you have to be more careful."

Xiao Qianmo took the opportunity to hug her even tighter, resting his chin on the top of her head, his tone full of reluctance.

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. It's okay to take it slow on the way. I'll wait for you in the capital."

"Well, you had a safe journey too."

Having said that, Mu Yunyao pushed Xiao Qianmo away, knowing that it was time to leave.

Xiao Qianmo was also afraid that if this continued, he would be reluctant to let it go.

But His Majesty's decree had already arrived, ordering him to quickly escort the traitors back to the capital for trial, so he had to go first.

After sending the man out of the palace and watching him leave on horseback, Mu Yunyao turned around and walked back.

The eldest princess looked at her like this, smiled and held her hand.

"Seeing how reluctant you are, I thought you would be apart for a long time. Let's hurry up on the road and you will meet in the capital soon."

Mu Yunyao smiled and said nothing. This was not a matter of time.

They should have been husband and wife, but now she couldn't even give him a definite date for getting married.

Soon, they will leave too.

The prince and Zhan Wuhui both came to see him off.

Mu Yunyao and her companions had a relatively smooth trip. The eldest princess's health improved a lot under her careful care. When she arrived in the capital, her original skinny appearance was no longer visible.

In the eldest princess's own words, she finally looks a bit more human.

The emperor personally came to the outside of the city to receive her. The moment the princess saw him, she couldn't stop her tears like a flood.

After Mu Yunyao got off the carriage and greeted them, she gave the carriage to the brother and sister and got on a carriage at the back.

However, before she could get into the car, Wu Banban, who was beside the emperor, came trotting over.

"Princess, His Majesty has an order."

Mu Yunyao was about to kneel down, but he pulled her back.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the princess is exempt from kneeling."

Mu Yunyao then remembered that she seemed to have had such an honor before leaving the capital.

So he bowed and said, "Yunxi accepts the order."

"His Majesty said that the princess has worked hard, so she can go back to her house to rest first and report to the palace tomorrow."

Mu Yunyao was quite happy with this arrangement.

After all, if I really follow him into the palace, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back for a while.

After such a long journey for so many days, it is best to take a break.

But she had no idea that the eldest princess had not returned for so many years, and she was afraid that the emperor and the empress dowager must have a lot to say to her.

She could understand them very well, so she took the prescription that the eldest princess had been using to regulate her body from Qingyun and gave it to Wu Banban.

"Wu Banban, this is the prescription that the princess has been using to take care of her body these days. Wu Banban can take it to the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital to see if it is still necessary."

The eldest princess cannot stop taking tonic medicine for a day, so Mu Yunyao can only give out the prescription in this way.

Wu Banban quickly took it with both hands and said with a smile on his face.

"You are joking, Princess. What you give is of course the best."

Mu Yunyao didn't respond to her words and nodded at him.

"Then I will not delay Wu Banban from serving Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

After saying this, he bowed to the front and turned to leave.

Wu Banban also bowed quickly and said, "See you, Princess."

If Mu Yunyao was just a little girl loved by all the elders in the eyes of these people before, now she is a real person who cannot be underestimated.

Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, no one dared to stand up and say that they could capture Yesinan and bring back the eldest princess in such a short time.

But she did it anyway, without losing a single soldier.

I am afraid that after being rewarded for her merits, she will no longer be a county lady, but a princess.

Even the eldest princess is possible.

In this dynasty, the title of Princess Eldest is not limited to the emperor's sisters. Princesses who have made great contributions can also be given the title of Princess Eldest.

Or the favored eldest daughter of the emperor may be demoted to the eldest princess.

Mu Yunyao still did not return to the Mu family, but went to the Shen Mansion.

She was really tired this time. If she returned to the Mu family, there would inevitably be chaos again.

But now she just wanted to have a good rest and was not in the mood to deal with them.

As for the matter with her mother, she had discussed with her brother and decided not to tell her grandfather and the others for the time being. After all, they were already old.

If we give them hope and the result is good, it would be fine. But if they don't find their mother in the end, or if their mother is no longer around, they won't be able to bear it, right?

The result of the discussion between the brother and sister was to follow Xiao Qianmo's advice and go to the Queen's Kingdom to find someone in the name of an diplomatic mission.
