But even so, he didn't want to give up.

"Aren't you afraid that if this gets out, their reputations will suffer because of me?"

Shen Nianci looked at him with amusement and turned around to ask her two children.

"Are you afraid?"

The brother and sister smiled at each other.

"Mom, we have never relied on him for anything, why should we be afraid?"

"I heard?"

Shen Nianci raised her eyebrows and asked Mu Jinnian, her expression was as sarcastic as it could be.

Mu Jinnian seemed to understand something suddenly.

Just when he was thinking about whether to make a last-ditch effort, Mu Yunyao stabbed him in the heart again.

"You think the Shen family has found something that His Majesty can't find. He keeps you around just to make you a target for the Crown Prince when he ascends the throne next year."

Mu Jinnian stared with eyes wide open in disbelief.

What did this damn girl say? Your Majesty wants to pass the throne to the crown prince, and he wants to use him to establish the crown prince's authority.

Yes, he was the left prime minister, second only to the emperor. If the prince ascended the throne and directly executed himself, it could serve as a warning to others.

It seemed like he couldn't escape death anyway, so why should he let them go?

Mu Jinnian's eyes were filled with hatred, and just when his hand was about to reach for the divorce letter and the letter of severance of engagement, Mu Yunyao spoke again.

"However, this matter is not without room for maneuver. As long as my mother and I are willing to plead with His Majesty, it is not impossible to spare your life."

Mu Yunyao rolled her eyes to the sky.

"What are you thinking? Saving your life is already a good thing. Confiscation of your property and exile are inevitable."

"No, I don't agree."

Mu Jinnian still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Mu Yunyao looked embarrassed, and finally said, "Finally, I will ask the prince to exile you to the southwest. How about that?"

Mu Jinnian thought, Zhan Wuhui was the commander of an army of 300,000 in the southwest. If he was exiled to the southwest, could he still ignore him?

Zhan Wuhui looked embarrassed, but still nodded.

Mu Jinnian finally relaxed and signed his name on the divorce letter and the letter of severance of engagement, and also left his private seal.

However, he didn't know that as soon as he left the Shen family, the evidence against him and the divorce and severance of marriage agreement he signed appeared in the emperor's study along with the mother and her two children.

When the emperor saw what was in front of him, his eyes were filled with joy.

"Yunxi, are you sure I really don't have to tolerate him anymore?"

In fact, the emperor had wanted to get rid of Mu Jinnian for a long time, and he kept him around because of Mu Yunyao.

After all, this girl has helped him do so many things and can also help him fill the treasury. He has no reason to let this girl be implicated in Mu Jinnian's affairs, right?

"Yes, but I want Your Majesty to exile them to the southwest."

The emperor was a little puzzled, thinking that she was still concerned about the father-daughter relationship.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunyao said, "There is a shortage of miners in Youyun Mountain Range. Since he wants to go, we must help him."

"Hahaha……"

The emperor smiled. He knew that this girl was not so kind and was waiting for him here.

The imperial decree to confiscate Mu Jinnian's property came down very quickly, and he was taken to the southwest before even the New Year.

Fortunately, the temperature got warmer as he went south, so he managed to make it to the southwest.

He originally thought that he would have a good life once he arrived in the southwest. Zhan Wuhui would arrange for someone to take him to the general's mansion, and he could live the life of an old man.

However, he did not expect that as soon as he arrived, there would be a row of neatly lined up soldiers waiting for him.

But unlike what he had imagined, he was not sent to the general's mansion, but directly to the mountain.

However, Mu Yunyao was still nice to him. She was afraid that he would be bullied if he was alone in the mountains, so she kindly sent him to be with Mu Junsheng.

Of course, the half-dead Old Lady Mu also went with them.

At this point, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were reunited.

On New Year’s Eve, the palace banquet was still lively.

However, there was an extra seat below the emperor and the empress, which did not belong to any prince in the court. Sitting there was a woman with an extraordinary temperament but wearing a veil.

She is the regent of the Queendom, and she came on behalf of the King of the Queendom to congratulate Da Qi on the New Year and to conclude a 100-year friendly alliance between the two countries.

The person sitting at the same table with that woman was Princess Yunxi, the youngest and most honorable princess in Da Qi.

The princess's mansion has been built, and it's just waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne so that Princess Yunxi and her husband can get married on an auspicious day.

Originally, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory wanted to calculate a new auspicious day, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess and her husband declined. The fifth day of May is a good day.

Although it was delayed for a year, they still chose to get married on that day.

In the same year, the new emperor held an imperial examination to celebrate with the whole world.

Qiu Ziyu and Chen Qinghui were both on the list. With their relationship with Princess Yunxi, they quickly caught the attention of the new emperor.

Qiu Ziyu entered the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Qinghui entered the Ministry of Rites, and Rong Xuan and Zhou Keji skipped the Hanlin Academy and entered the six ministries for training. They all played a very important role in the handover of the old and new imperial power.

As for Mu Yunyao, her wedding with Xiao Qianmo was grand and solemn.

The new emperor even specially bestowed the queen's phoenix chariot for the two to use for their wedding.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor Retired personally arranged their wedding.

But in the end, the emperor wanted to sit in the hall to accept the two people's worship, but Xiao Qianmo glared at him and he obediently gave up his seat to the queen who was already the empress dowager.

The other position naturally belongs to Shen Nianci. As the regent of the Queendom, she is also qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Queen Dowager of Da Qi.

After getting married, Xiao Qianmo directly handed over the military power of the Black Armor Army to the new emperor, saying frankly that he had to accompany his wife and had no time to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment, and he resigned from the position of governor.

Took Mu Yunyao to travel around the mountains and rivers.

What made him somewhat dissatisfied was that, although there was nothing wrong with bringing his mother-in-law along, what did that old man who was following them not too close behind mean?

The retired emperor was also helpless. It was only after he abdicated that he learned that this boy was also his son. It was too late to make amends and to cultivate the father-son relationship, but the other boy ignored him.

He could only follow them from a distance. The most important thing was that he had never been far away and didn't know where to have fun. Following them would not only allow him to eat well and have fun, but also be safe. Naturally, he was reluctant to be separated from them.

Time flies and the journey is long. The story comes to an end here. Thank you readers for your company and support along the way.

I wish you all a happy new year, good luck, prosperity and good fortune in the new year!
