GB: Bai Yueguang is a villain again.

It was a month later when Su Mo returned to Kyoto. Along the way, Xiao Zeqing kept a distance from Su Mo, as if she had some virus.

Although Su Mo felt quite regretful that he could not be close to the spoiled little military advisor, as long as he returned safely, the plan would be half successful for Su Mo.

She first settled Xiao Zeqing in a specially prepared villa, and then went to the palace to pay a visit to the empress.

But the empress's condition could not be said to be normal. In the eight years that were neither long nor short, the empress aged so quickly and no longer had the majesty and grace that Su Mo had when he first saw her.

Her pale face made her look like she was about to die, and it was obvious that she was forcing herself to summon Su Mo.

The empress dismissed everyone except Su Mo. She tried to stand up and approach Su Mo but almost fell to the ground. Su Mo was so scared that he rushed forward to support her.

The empress stared at Su Mo with her deeply sunken eyes, and Su Mo looked back at her calmly. The two confronted each other for a long time, and suddenly the empress sighed.

"My dear Su Aiqing, I cannot say much to you.

Now that I have little time left and the Crown Princess has not yet been appointed, I know your sincerity and believe in your ability, so I only want to ask you for one thing…” She was halfway through her words when she started coughing violently. Su Mo let her lean on him. She took short breaths and it took her a long time to recover.

"...No matter who the future monarch is, you must protect the Sixth Princess for me." She held Su Mo's hand tightly. Although her tone was commanding, it contained a hidden plea.

This is actually a very simple, clichéd and melodramatic story. Two lovers missed each other countless times because of their identities. One died because of this, and the other regretted it for the rest of his life. It is a tragic plot.

The Sixth Princess is the fruit of their half-life entanglement.

The empress had no merits or faults as an emperor, and was even worse as a lover.

But it must be said that at this time she is a mother who loves her daughter.

Su Mo agreed.

The empress breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body suddenly relaxed, and she smiled at Su Mo.

"I hope you can be the Sixth Princess's martial arts master, and half of the tiger talisman will always be in your hands. I trust you, and it is also my sincerity..." The empress slowly explained everything and then dismissed Su Mo.

When Su Mo walked to the door, he couldn't help but look back at the empress behind the desk. Her face was hidden in the shadows, and she smiled at Su Mo, but the corners of her mouth revealed an unspeakable meaning.

Su Mo bowed and left.

This was the last time she saw the empress.

In the original plot, it should not be long before the city of Fenglinjing is broken and the empress martyrs for her country.

Although Su Mo changed Feng Lin's current fate, he was still unable to resist the death of the empress.

And the system did not judge that she violated the rules.

This means that no matter how hard she tries to turn the tide, she cannot change the fact that Fenglin is in decline.

She didn't know who the culprit was. She had been fighting on the border for the past eight years, so she was not aware of all the undercurrents in the capital.

Empress Fenglin had seven children, four princesses and two princes. One of them was living among the people and his gender was unknown.

The eldest princess was born to Queen Feng. Due to her noble status, she was arrogant and domineering. However, at the age of ten, she was drowned in a pond by the eunuch she had bullied. She died young, and Queen Feng also died of depression.

The second princess was born to the emperor, and because she was born in the same year as the eldest princess, her talents were suppressed since childhood, which led to her developing a cowardly character. Now she is in her twenties and has achieved nothing.

The third prince and the fourth prince are twins, both born to nobles. Because they are about to reach adulthood, they are presented to Empress Tianqi as concubines by Xiao Zeqing in the original plot, and are finally poisoned to death by the male protagonist.

The fifth princess was born by chance when the empress was drunk. Her biological father was an actor in a brothel and was secretly executed by the empress. Because she was not favored, she developed a twisted personality and often took pleasure in torturing the palace ladies.

The Seventh Prince's biological father was unknown and he lived among the common people. The Empress had no intention of letting the child return to his ancestral home.

The competition for the throne is not fierce at the moment. The Second Princess and the Fifth Princess seem unable to handle the heavy responsibility, and the Sixth Princess has no intention of fighting for it.

But this was just on the surface. The barking dog that bites doesn't bite. She poisoned the empress before anyone could react.

Su Mo looked at the gloomy sky and sighed softly.

"The situation in Fenglin is about to change."

As soon as she returned to the Su Mansion, the imperial edict of reward from the empress arrived.

"By the providence of Heaven... I grant you ten thousand taels of gold, the title of First-Rank General Protecting the Nation, and special permission to teach the Imperial Princess. You may enter and leave the Imperial Palace without summons."

"Thank you for your grace, Lord. I will accept your order."

Only after sending off the eunuch who announced the imperial decree did Su Mo have time to accept the concern of Su Guijun and the others.

When Jiang Zhushu saw Su Mo, who was no longer young and naive, her eyes first turned red. She held her hand and kept saying that she had lost weight.

Su Guijun hated to see him cry, so she quickly comforted him, "How can anyone in the army not be thin? It's good enough that you didn't come back with any missing limbs. Going to war is not like playing house, there's no need to be so delicate."

Jiang Zhushu glared at her and ignored her. He pulled Su Mo towards her room and told her to have a good rest first while he prepared a big meal to welcome her.

Su Mo looked at the ignored Su Guijun, suppressed his laughter and obediently returned to the room, mentally planning to climb into someone's bed again in the middle of the night.

I have to say that Jiang Zhushu is really a virtuous father. He cooked a large table of dishes that Su Mo liked, which made Su Mo feast on his appetite.

Because the Su family had no old-fashioned rules, Su Mo's bowl was never empty at the dinner table. Jiang Zhushu kept picking food for her, muttering that she wanted to make up for the weight Su Mo had lost over the years.

It's no wonder that Jiang Zhushu misses her so much. Because the war is at a stalemate and Su Mo is worried about the plot, he has never come back for the New Year in the past eight years. It's hard for Jiang Zhushu who dotes on her children.

After eating and drinking, when the night is quiet.

Su Mo put on his nightgown again and quietly went to Xiao Zeqing's small villa.

There was a reason why Su Mo was so confident in him staying in the small courtyard.

After entering Kyoto, she secretly gave Xiao Zeqing some sleeping pills.

This time she was very cautious and used a dosage that would not harm her body, and she also confirmed its authenticity again and again.

Judging from the time, he should be waking up soon.

I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Su Mo scored twice and opened the window of his room. As soon as one foot stepped on the windowsill, his eyes met Xiao Zeqing, who had just woken up in a daze.

Su Mo blinked guiltily, then pretended nothing had happened and walked into the room.

Xiao Zeqing, who was still not fully awake, looked particularly soft and cute. His usually dark and lifeless eyes were now slightly narrowed with a watery gleam, and the crimson corners of his eyes were extremely charming.

The moonlight shone on him, and his delicate collarbone was half exposed through the open collar of his clothes. Because of his weak body, his skin was exceptionally white, with a warm color like jade.

The little villain is so mean. Who allowed you to be so handsome and dress like that? You have no male ethics!

The little carrot in the space saw her useless appearance and shook his head speechlessly.

Su Mo swallowed secretly, then suddenly turned his head away from him.

No! If I keep watching this, I'll really lose control and bully him. I can't be a beast.

While Su Mo was struggling in his heart, Xiao Zeqing had already woken up. Seeing Su Mo climbing in through the window and himself in disheveled clothes, his face turned completely red.

But when he saw Su Mo suddenly turn his head away, as if trying to avoid him, the blush on his face instantly faded, leaving only a fragile paleness.

"General Su is a great general, but how could he act so vilely? He repeatedly climbed through my window and even drugged me. Is this the Fenglin national style?"
