My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

As he was speaking, the small door of the side hall behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation opened, and two familiar figures walked out.

The Fourteenth Prince immediately turned around and looked. He was so frightened that he jumped up instantly, staring with his eyes wide open without uttering a word for a long time.

The two people who walked out of the small door of the side hall were none other than Wen Qiqi and Die Jiu.

"You... When will you return to the capital? My royal brother... You, you actually hid it from me and made me say so many of my true feelings!"

The Fourteenth Prince was both surprised and embarrassed at this time, and even the Emperor began to complain.

The Emperor pointed at the Fourteenth Prince and laughed heartily again: "Look at you, Fourteenth Brother! I brought your sweetheart and your sister to you. It's been more than a year since we last met, you must have missed them very much! It would be fine if you didn't thank me, but you actually blamed me!"

"In this world, the only one who dares to blame me is your fourteenth brother."

The Fourteenth Prince was also amused: "I dare not, but... Qiqi, Diejiu, when did you two return to Kyoto? Have you ever been back to the Wen Mansion?"

"I haven't returned to the Wen Mansion yet."

Qiqi raised her lips slightly and smiled calmly: "I returned to Kyoto three days ago and have been living secretly in the palace ever since."

The Fourteenth Prince nodded and subconsciously looked at Die Jiu's belly.

Die Jiu's face turned red. She heard everything that the Fourteenth Prince and the Emperor had just said.

I was a maid, but I was so touched that the Fourteenth Prince valued me so much.

Although she and the Fourteenth Prince had already seen each other's feelings a year ago, Die Jiu always thought that the Fourteenth Prince would forget about her when he returned to Kyoto...

After hearing what the prince said today, and hearing that he only wishes to win the heart of one person, I was so moved that I shed tears.

"Diejiu, was your child...born safely?"

"No."

Diejiu pretended to feel regretful.

The Fourteenth Prince frowned and said, "Could it be... Hey, it's all my fault for not protecting you and Qiqi. But don't worry, the child has a short life, and we will have our own children in the future!"

The advantage of being a straight man is that he can express everything that is on his mind.

The Fourteenth Prince had decided on Die Jiu and had thought through all the matters concerning the child in the future.

Die Jiu's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly whispered, "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. What child or no child..."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you who the father of your child is."

The Fourteenth Prince said generously: "In the future, when you enter the palace, I will treat you well, no matter what happened before."

"Ha ha!"

The emperor laughed again: "Fourteenth brother, you keep talking about children, but don't you think about it, if Die Jiu was really pregnant, would she let her master accompany her on the adventure?"

"This……"

The Fourteenth Prince had never thought about this, and subconsciously looked at Wen Qiqi: "Could it be that you and Die Jiu are both lying? You even said you were pregnant, which made me so nervous!"

"I didn't deceive the Fourteenth Prince. It's just that it wasn't Die Jiu who was pregnant."

"Is it a thought?"

The Fourteenth Prince suddenly realized: "No wonder you let her return to the capital alone!"

"It's not my feelings...it's me!"

Wen Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled: "Thanks to the Fourteenth Prince, Qiqi's child was born safely and is now in the palace. It's just that the child is noisy, so I didn't bring him to see the Fourteenth Prince."

"I have seen Qiqi's child."

The emperor smiled proudly: "It's very cute, I like it very much!"

"what?"

The Fourteenth Prince swallowed his saliva and looked at the Emperor in disbelief: "Royal brother, you have gone into such a big circle... I really confused you tonight! What is going on? The one who is pregnant is Qiqi... Then... Then this year, you and Diejiu were abducted by Niansheng, and you are pregnant. Didn't you suffer a lot?"

"Yes, it is indeed very hard! After all, I have to help the young lady calculate a lot of accounts every day, and thousands of taels of silver are coming in. My stupid brain is not enough to cope with it."

Die Jiu complained to the Fourteenth Prince seriously, and then smiled after she finished speaking.

The Fourteenth Prince was confused: "Thousands of taels of silver were deposited into the account? You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's not nonsense, it's the truth!"

The emperor stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked to the Fourteenth Prince. He looked at the Fourteenth Prince with a questioning look on his face and said, "Qiqi knows that the people are suffering from the natural disasters of floods this year, and Thirteenth Prince has joined forces with the rebels in East City... I am about to be attacked from all sides, but the treasury is empty and the military pay is insufficient! So..."

The emperor looked at Wen Qiqi, his eyes full of gratitude: "So, she made a special trip to send me back 800,000 taels of silver and more than 5,000 elite soldiers!"

The Fourteenth Prince almost choked himself to death.

"Eight hundred thousand taels of silver? More than five thousand elite soldiers?"

"kindness."

Die Jiu nodded: "After all, the village still needs to operate, so I can only bring back this much."

"Tunzi...you are in the countryside?"

"In the mountains of Dongcheng."

Die Jiu smiled slightly and looked at Wen Qiqi: "Miss, you should quickly explain it to the Fourteenth Prince. I think he is going to get sick from worrying about it."

Wen Qiqi did not try to hide anything and directly told the Fourteenth Prince that he was the chief of Dongchengshan Village!

The Fourteenth Prince was so surprised that he kept saying, "When you've been away for three days, you should look at you with new eyes! Wen Qiqi... after not seeing you for a year, you've become the head of the East City Mountain Village?"

The emperor asked the thirteenth brother to conquer Dongcheng Shantun...

"Brother, have you already known that Qiqi is the head of the Dongcheng Mountain Village?"

"It was only a month ago that I found out."

The emperor smiled proudly: "I was as shocked as my fourteenth brother at that time! However, when I knew who was assisting Qiqi and helping him train elite soldiers, I was not so shocked anymore."

The Fourteenth Prince asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

"It's my beloved general—"

The emperor looked at Wen Qiqi and smiled at each other: "Fourteenth brother, think about it, who else can train 5,000 elite soldiers in just one year? Such training ability?" The fourteenth prince frowned: "Now, there is no such general in the court! But if it was once... General Ye might be able to do it."

"it's him!"

The emperor said this excitedly, which frightened the Fourteenth Prince so much that his face turned pale.

Is my brother okay?

General Ye has been dead for so many years, I'm afraid his bones have been mixed with the spring mud...

"Ahem...Brother Emperor, how is this possible? Stop deceiving me!"

The Emperor has obviously prepared a basket of big melons for the Fourteenth Prince tonight!

"How could I lie to you? Old Fourteen, General Ye is not only alive, you... have already seen him!"

The emperor raised his lips and smiled slightly: "Tonight, he will guard my Forbidden City Tower for me! The five thousand elite soldiers he brought back and my imperial guards are fully prepared... Old Thirteen thought that he could force me to lose the battle by taking away two-thirds of the elite soldiers of the Ministry of War. But what he didn't know was that his years of dormancy would end tonight!"
