Mo Xiaoliu's operation was very successful. He only had a fever once in the middle of the night. After taking medicine and having a good sleep, he is now fine.

Feng Zhishang ran to Mu Qingcheng excitedly. He couldn't wait to perform tendon surgery on Mo Xue.

Yun Qing was having breakfast with Mu Qingcheng. When he heard what Feng Zhishang said, he strongly disagreed.

"No!" Yun Qing refused decisively.

"Why is this?" Feng Zhishang was puzzled.

Yun Qing said with a dark face, "How many rabbits and sheep have been killed by you? How many times have you succeeded? Mo Xue is not a rabbit or a sheep. She can't withstand your torture."

Feng Zhishang's face, originally radiant with excitement, instantly shrank like a frost-bitten eggplant. He hated hearing people criticize his medical skills, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to argue with Yun Qing.

"Who said that! When did I kill rabbits and sheep? You saw with your eyes that I killed them. It was you little rascals who did it. You wanted to eat the meat, but you blamed me."

Yun Qing did not refute and turned around to continue picking up food for Mu Qingcheng.

Feng Zhishang was like punching cotton, not even a sound was heard. "That's not what you said when Mo Xiaoliu was in surgery yesterday. You kept saying that suturing surgery is a matter of great benefit to the country and the people. You told me that yourself! Why are you going back on your word now? Could it be that Mo Xiaoliu is your personal secret guard and Mo Xue is your brother?"

This can be treated differently!

Mu Qingcheng held her cheek and watched the show. Unexpectedly, Yun Qing's expression froze, as if frozen there, with the dish still in his outstretched hand.

Was this, what he predicted? Mu Qingcheng and Feng Zhishang exchanged a glance, their hearts tightening.

"Yunqing, Yunqing...what's wrong with you?" Mu Qingcheng asked with concern.

Yun Qing's eyes were dazed, and he withdrew his hand and put the food into his mouth.

Mu Qingcheng: “…” Okay, now it’s confirmed.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just thought of something."

Yun Qing looked up again and saw that Mu Qingcheng and Feng Zhishang both had an expression that said, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Yun Qing struggled for a moment, and a worried look appeared on his face, as if there was a secret hidden deep in his heart.

Feng Zhishang was also confused: "What do you mean! Could he really be your brother?"

Yun Qing was silent for a moment and then nodded!

Mu Qingcheng: “…” Ahhhh!

Feng Zhishang: “…” What what what!

Feng Zhishang was different from the people around Yun Qing. He was the only one who knew the inside story. Since his father trusted him, he had no reason to be wary of Feng Zhishang.

Not to mention Mu Qingcheng, there was no need to hide it from his little girl.

Feng Zhishang asked cautiously: "He...he...who is he?"

Moxue was only fifteen after the Lunar New Year, so there was no way he could be the son of Crown Prince Shaojun. How could Yunqing have a brother?

Yun Qing said slowly: "He is Princess Shao Yue's son."

Feng Zhishang stood there in a daze, while Mu Qingcheng's face was full of life.

This is another royal secret! Mu Qingcheng threw down her chopsticks. Eating melons is not as delicious as eating rice. She stood at the forefront of the melon-eating crowd and couldn't wait for Yun Qing to reveal it.

Yun Qing looked at the little girl's eager and gossipy eyes and continued helplessly, "Princess Shaoyue is my grandfather's youngest daughter, and she is also Empress Shengyuan's direct descendant, a princess born of a royal family. She and my father are siblings from the same mother."

Mu Qingcheng was shocked: "Then she must be your aunt."

Yun Qing nodded and replied, "I didn't know it before. I only found out recently."

Mu Qingcheng understood that Yun Qing really didn't know that his biological father was Prince Shaojun before.

Feng Zhishang was in a trance, as if immersed in past memories, and murmured softly: "Princess Shao Yue, a daughter of heaven! The moon is bright, and the beautiful people are here. Shu Yao is troubled. My heart is troubled. The moon is bright, and the beautiful people are worried. Shu You is worried. My heart is troubled. The moon is shining...!"

It makes sense. With a brother as handsome and elegant as Prince Shaojun, his sister Princess Shaoyue must be as bright as the moon in the sky. With the love of her parents and brother, she will be a dazzling and shining princess.

Mu Qingcheng didn't care about Feng Zhishang's mumbling: "Then where is she now?"

Yun Qing said with a dejected look, "She is not in Da Qi anymore. She was sent to Nan Yan by the current Emperor Shengwu to marry a foreign prince."

Mu Qingcheng's heart clenched. It sounded nice to say it was a marriage alliance, but to put it bluntly, it was just exchanging the princess for food! Although she had only been here a short time, she had read some historical records of this era. Southern Yan and Northern Qi were incompatible. Within a hundred years of Qi's founding, the two countries had fought for ninety-nine years.

Princess Shaoyue must have had a miserable end! If her brother, Crown Prince Shaojun, had succeeded to the throne and become emperor, this princess would have been the envy of everyone. What a pity!

Yun Qing slowly stood up and walked to the door, feeling very heavy-hearted. Mu Qingcheng followed closely behind.

"I've been locked up in Chonghua Palace since I was born, and I've never known what the outside world is like. They all say I'm the master of Chonghua Palace, but I feel like a prisoner of Chonghua Palace."

"If I had to say the only warmth I felt in that cold place was from her, she would often come to keep me company, play with me, tell me stories, and bring me delicious food. I always thought of her as my mother. In my dreams, I often called her mother."

Mu Qingcheng reached out and held Yun Qing's hand. Yun Qing responded by holding her hand tightly.

"When Emperor Yong'an passed away, I was about two years old. Eight months later, Empress Shengyuan also followed the late emperor.

That day, many guards suddenly broke into Chonghua Palace. They killed everyone they saw. The whole palace looked like an Asura hell, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

Mo Dong, covered in blood, fled from Chonghua Palace with me on his back, and we were hunted all the way. At the critical moment, she led her men to stop the guards and rescued us. Afterwards, she took me to her Qiluo Palace.

After that, she negotiated with Emperor Shengwu several times. A month later, I was sent back to Chonghua Palace.

Many years later, I learned the truth. Before his death, my father, Crown Prince Shaojun, handed over all his power to her. He must have expected that after his death, no one would be able to protect his sister.

The condition she exchanged with Emperor Shengwu was to hand over all of Crown Prince Shaojun's power."

Mu Qingcheng felt a pang of grief in her heart. Yun Qing spoke calmly, but she was terrified as she listened. A child born in a peaceful era could never imagine the thrill of that life-or-death moment.

"Now that I think about it, without the protection of those forces, her situation was extremely difficult. She should have distanced herself from me and protected herself, but unfortunately, she still wanted to protect me. Ultimately, she angered those two."

Those two people must be the emperor and the empress.

"I heard that she and Pei Jingyuan, the youngest son of Marquis Boyang, have been childhood sweethearts, and Emperor Yong'an also intends to marry his children to the Pei family, so their marriage is well known to everyone.

Unexpectedly, misfortunes arose, Emperor Yong'an and Empress Shengyuan passed away one after another, and her marriage to Pei Jingyuan was put on hold."

"In the third year of Emperor Shengwu's reign, Northern Qi suffered a severe drought. The Emperor proposed that Princess Shaoyue go to Southern Yan for marriage, and not a single court official objected."

Mu Qingcheng's blood boiled in anger. She knew that they were just exchanging an annoying princess for food.

"I was six years old that year, and she said she could no longer protect me, so she sent me to Xuantian Palace.

That year, when I heard she was going to marry a foreign prince, I knelt before my master and begged him to let me go and see her off."

When he said this, tears welled up in Yun Qing's eyes.

"That night, the wind and snow were so fierce that it was impossible to open my eyes. My master brought me to the wedding camp. I sneaked into her tent alone, intending to talk to her. I saw her lying in a pool of blood, with two maids carrying a baby away from her."

Yun Qing held Mu Qingcheng's hand tighter and tighter. Mu Qingcheng was heartbroken, but she didn't feel the pain at all.
