After hearing this, Murong Hui was overjoyed.

He seemed to want to continue presiding over the matter, but the eldest prince interrupted him with a smile: "I think Second Brother should focus on preparing for the wedding. Fifth Brother is the perfect person to preside over this matter."

Murong Hui then remembered that he was about to marry the Princess of Xijiang, and that this matter couldn't be neglected at all. He nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Qing happily brought Baili Yuan back to the palace and ordered people to prepare many delicious treats.

Baili Yuan said with a serious expression, "Sister, there's no need to be so troublesome. I just want to have a good talk with you."

Shangguan Qing nodded. In fact, she was also eager to know about her mother's condition.

"Yuan'er, what's going on? How did mother become the monarch of Dongli Kingdom? And what's going on with you? Is father also in Dongli?"

Baili Yuan shook his head, "Don't worry, sister, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Shangguan Qing then realized that Yuhe was the lost princess of Dongli Kingdom. She was later found and inherited the throne. Due to various reasons, she only had time to look for Shangguan Qing now.

Shangguan Qing felt a little complicated. On the one hand, he was surprised by his mother's identity, and on the other hand, he was worried about whether his mother had lived well over the years.

"Then why hasn't my mother contacted me for so many years?" Shangguan Qing couldn't help but ask.

Baili Yuan sighed and explained, "Sister, back then, civil unrest broke out in Dongli State, and Mother had to return to the palace to handle affairs. Furthermore, Dongli was plagued by internal and external troubles, and she needed time to stabilize the situation, so she couldn't get away to visit you."

Shangguan Qing nodded to show his understanding, but there was still a sense of loss in his heart.

After all, the original owner had been missing his mother for so many years, but had never been able to see her.

"Then, Yuan'er, how did you get here?" Shangguan Qing continued to ask.

Baili Yuan smiled and said, "I came here to look for my sister at my mother's request. She has always been thinking about you and hopes that we can be reunited soon."

Shangguan Qing nodded, "Yuan'er, I'm afraid I can't leave with you now. Wait until I find my father and bring him with me to find you, okay?"

This time, it was Baili Yuan who was puzzled. "Sister, what happened to Daddy? We didn't know the details about General Murong before. We came here and made inquiries, only to find out that Daddy was missing. How did he end up in Xijiang's hands? And what happened to Sister's dementia earlier?"

Shangguan Qing smiled faintly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "Yuan'er, everything is fine now. I will definitely find Daddy. As long as Mommy is fine, I will be relieved. Go back and tell Mommy that we are all fine. After I find Daddy, I will naturally come to Dongli to find you."

Baili Yuan lowered his head silently, his hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, seeming a little hesitant and uneasy.

Shangguan Qing noticed his strangeness and asked curiously, "Yuan'er, what's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"

Baili Yuan bit his lip and finally decided to confess, "Sister, actually... it was those people in Dongli Country who forced Mother to either remarry the emperor and give birth to a princess to inherit the throne, or bring you back to Dongli and let you inherit the throne."

Shangguan Qing frowned, took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Yuan'er, I'm not interested in this throne. If you really want it, I have the ability to inherit it even if it's the throne of Murong Kingdom. So, I'll leave the management of Dongli Kingdom to you."

Baili Yuan suddenly raised his head, a look of astonishment on his face, and quickly shook his head: "No, sister, I can't do it."

Shangguan Qing gently stroked Baili Yuan's head. "Yuan'er, nothing is impossible. As long as you are strong enough, any difficulty can be overcome. Go back and tell mother that I will come find you after I have dealt with things here. I will help you then."

Baili Yuan nodded obediently and hugged Shangguan Qing tightly, unwilling to let go.

At this time, Murong Bai strode in and teased with a smile: "Hey, Baili Yuan, you are so old now, why are you still clinging to your sister like a child?"

Baili Yuan retorted unconvincedly: "I'm no older than I am, I can still hug my sister!"

Murong Bai frowned and said in a serious tone, "Don't you have the concept of no physical contact between men and women in Dongli Country?"

Baili Yuan raised his chin, acted like a grown-up, and said confidently, "I'm still a child. Don't bully me, or I'll tell the Queen Mother, and she'll definitely not let my sister marry you!"

Murong Bai's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained: "No, you should also be a little careful. After all, you are almost as tall as your sister."

Baili Yuan looked at himself, then at his sister, and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Qing quickly pulled out a number of weapons from her space and gently said to Baili Yuan, "Yuan'er, these are my secret weapons. I'll let Sister Lightning teach you how to use them later, just in case."

There was no boy who was not interested in weapons. Baili Yuan quickly forgot his previous disappointment and started to study excitedly.

Shangguan Qing also dug out many self-defense poisons, sleeping pills, hidden weapons, and universal detoxification pills from the space. He sorted them all out and handed them to Baili Yuan.

"Yuan'er, these things are for your self-defense. Don't worry, go ahead and do what you want to do. I will always support you."

Shangguan Qing said gently.

Baili Yuan nodded with emotion, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Shangguan Qing suddenly remembered something and said, "Yuan'er, tomorrow I'll take you to visit your grandparents' home. That's where your mother grew up. I believe you'll like it."

Baili Yuan was extremely excited upon hearing this, his face filled with smiles, and he quickly replied, "Yes, yes! Mother has told me about my grandparents' home many times, as well as the General's Mansion. I've always wanted to visit."

Shangguan Qing was immediately interested when he heard this and suggested, "Yuan'er, why don't you all stay at the General's Mansion? It's your home after all, and you can stay here for a few more days and feel the warmth of home."

Baili Yuan readily agreed, and gradually developed an inexplicable sense of belonging to Murong State.

Without waiting, they soon arrived at the General's Mansion. Standing at the door, looking at this magnificent mansion, their hearts were full of anticipation.

They slowly walked into the gate. Gui Hu recognized Shangguan Qing at a glance and hurried forward to greet her, bowing respectfully and saying, "Welcome home, young lady."

Shangguan Qing nodded and smiled as he introduced Baili Yuan beside him: "Uncle Gui, this is the eldest young master of the General's Mansion and the future owner of the General's Mansion."

Gui Hu looked at Baili Yuan in surprise, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Young Master."
