Although she was very satisfied hearing Jiang Xinxue's address, she also knew Nangong Mo's taboo. In his heart, Jiang Lan was an existence that no one could touch. As long as it was related to Jiang Lan, no one else would be allowed to encroach on it, let alone letting her daughter call someone else mother. She didn't even dare to think about it!

Now that the woman in front of her had put such a big accusation on her as soon as she opened her mouth, she really didn't know whether she did it unintentionally or on purpose. If it was unintentional, it would be fine, as it meant that this person didn't have any intentions, and it would be easier to control her in the future. But if it was intentional?

Thinking of this, Qi Min'er looked at Jiang Xinxue with a murderous intent in her eyes. If she was intentional, it would mean that this woman was very scheming. Even if she teamed up with her, she would probably fight back. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort if she failed to gain more than she gained?

Jiang Xinxue looked at the reserved expressions of the crowd, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she secretly looked up, only to find that Nangong Mo had a gloomy face. Jiang Xinxue's heart suddenly tightened, and her face was full of fear. She didn't know what she did wrong. She remembered that when she was in Dongli Kingdom, Princess Wanqing always saluted like this!

At that time, she was envious of this. Now she has become the princess of Nanmo Kingdom, and the only princess. How could she displease her father just by simply paying her respects?

Seeing Jiang Xinxue's puzzled expression, Qi Min'er's eyes flashed with a smile. It seemed that she was overthinking it. She was just a princess who had been living away from home since she was a child. How could she possibly know the twists and turns in the palace? Even now, she still didn't know where she had gone wrong. It was really not worth her vigilance.

Qi Min'er walked down with a smile on her face, and then helped Jiang Xinxue up with her own hands. She looked at Jiang Xinxue with pity and comforted her, "Your Highness is of noble status, and I am not worthy of being your mother. Your Highness has been living away from home since she was a child, so it is understandable that she doesn't know the etiquette of the palace. You can ask the governess to teach you a thing or two in the future. If Your Highness had grown up in the palace, she would definitely not be so overwhelmed!"

Qi Min'er knew Nangong Mo's weakness. A few words instantly dispelled Nangong Mo's anger. Instead, he felt guilty about Jiang Xinxue's experience. The sharpness in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Xinxue was gone. He also had a new recognition of what Qi Min'er said. Qi Min'er was right. If she had been raised in the palace, she would naturally not be so rude. She looked at Jiang Xinxue and said:

"Your mother has passed away many years ago. This is Concubine Qi, who is now in charge of the Phoenix Seal. If you have any questions, just go to her directly. She will make arrangements for you!"

As soon as Nangong Mo finished speaking, the smile on Qi Min'er's face froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Nangong Mo to be so heartless to her. He didn't care about her face in public. Even though they seemed to respect each other like guests in the eyes of outsiders, she was just an outsider to him, and there was no affection at all.

Seeing Nangong Mo being so cold and ruthless towards her, Qi Min'er's heart suddenly became firm, and the smile on Jiang Xinxue's face also faded a lot:

"Your father is right. I don't have any children. Now that you have returned safely, I will definitely treat you as my own daughter."

Nangong Cheng looked at Qi Min'er's unwilling expression, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Qi Min'er accidentally saw the teasing in Nangong Cheng's eyes, and quickly lowered her eyes to hide her guilty conscience.

Jiang Xinxue didn't expect that the person in front of her now was not the Queen of Nanmo Kingdom. Although she knew that Jiang Lan had passed away for many years, she didn't know that the throne had been vacant for so many years. She didn't expect that the smoker Nangong Mo would be so infatuated, but the more he valued Jiang Lan, the more stable his position would be. This was really thanks to the foundation laid for her by her good aunt!

Seeing Qi Min'er trying so hard to please her, Jiang Xinxue suddenly had an idea in her mind. Her eyes turned red, and she immediately looked at Qi Min'er and said with a sob:

"Xue'er has been outwardly exposed since she was little, with no one caring about her. Now, she has finally returned to her family. Looking at Concubine Qi, she feels a sense of familiarity, as if she has returned to her mother's side. That's why I spoke without restraint and made the wrong move. I hope that Father will forgive me!"

Nangong Mo already felt extremely guilty towards his daughter, and now, hearing about the mistreatment she had received outside, he felt even more distressed. Now, seeing Jiang Xinxue standing in front of him, Nangong Mo could no longer bear to investigate her background.

If she was his daughter, wouldn't his suspicion of her today make her even more sad and upset? She had already experienced so much hardship, and God had just sent her back. How could he bear to let her experience the dislike of her husband and father again?

Nangong Mo immediately looked at Jiang Xinxue and comforted her, "Child, you have suffered a lot these years. In the future, you will be the eldest princess of Nanmo Kingdom. Your father will definitely make it up to you!"

Hearing Nangong Mo's words, Jiang Xinxue was delighted, but her face was full of tears. Seeing Nangong Mo in pain,

Qi Miner gently comforted Jiang Xinxue. She didn't expect that Jiang Xinxue had won her favor by just coming here. If she could be so sensible in the future, she would be more patient with her.

The reunion of father and daughter was so touching that it moved everyone. Seeing Nangong Mo's excitement, all the ministers knelt on the ground and looked at Nangong Mo and his wife with their heartfelt blessings:

"Congratulations to the Emperor for finding the Princess. May God bless Nanmo and His Majesty!"

Jiang Xinxue looked at everyone kneeling in front of her, and she couldn't help but droop her head. In a place where no one could see, she raised a smug smile on her face.

Nangong Mo waved his hand, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, please stand. The princess's return today is a cause for celebration. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured and his life is hanging by a thread. I am also filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. Today, I am posting an imperial decree to find a miracle doctor for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Anyone who can save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand acres of fertile land, and a promotion! After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovers, we will hold a grand ceremony to confer the title on the princess. I will leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites to prepare!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Emperor!"

Even though Jiang Xinxue was unwilling at this time, Nangong Junze's life was hanging by a thread, and she could not insist on holding a feast for herself. After all, she was a half-way princess.

It cannot be compared with the future crown prince, but now that Nangong Mo has acknowledged his identity, it is only a matter of time before he is canonized.
