The soul-transmigrating princess was neglected, and the twins beat up their father

Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue turned around at the same time and looked towards the door.

A graceful and elegant woman slowly entered, her hair adorned with swaying pearls and jadeite. Her eyebrows, like crescent moons, were slightly raised, exuding majesty and wisdom. Her eyes were deep, calm yet undeniable. Her skin was white as snow, and she was clad in a gorgeous brocade robe, radiant and dazzling. Every movement was composed and graceful.

Seeing that Concubine Lan was still as stunning and captivating as before, the Emperor's heart was immediately filled with longing. He excitedly stepped forward from the dragon throne, took Concubine Lan's hand, and said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "My dear, you are finally back. In your heart, your daughter-in-law is still more important. No matter how many times I wrote to you over the years, you refused to come back. But when I said that the two children were going to be separated, you came back without stopping!"

Concubine Lan's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the emperor with a hint of dissatisfaction: "If I hadn't returned in time, would the emperor have allowed them to divorce?"

The emperor touched his forehead guiltily, then said calmly, "How is that possible? I will never agree to it!"

Concubine Lan smiled charmingly at the emperor: "I will first deal with the matter at hand, and then I will come to your Majesty to reminisce about the past."

The Emperor couldn't help but relax when he saw Concubine Lan walking towards Yun Muheng. It was a close call. Fortunately, he hadn't explicitly agreed to Ye Chuxue's request. Otherwise, he would have been too embarrassed to see Concubine Lan.

When Concubine Lan was about to reach Yun Muheng, Yun Muheng said excitedly, "Mother, you are finally willing to come back."

Concubine Lan glanced at him unhappily and said, "If I don't come back, my daughter-in-law will run away! You are so confused."

After saying that, she walked over to Ye Chuxue, took her hands affectionately, and with a loving smile on her face, she said sincerely, "Xue'er, did that brat bully you again? Mother is back this time. If you have any grievances, just tell me. Mother will take care of it for you."

Ye Chuxue felt a lump in her nose and tears instantly gathered in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice. For a moment, she couldn't help but lie on Lan Fei's shoulder and sob softly.

Lan Fei couldn't hide the heartache in her eyes. She patted Ye Chuxue's back and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. You've suffered so much these past few years. No wonder you want to divorce this brat. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it either." As soon as she finished speaking, she glared at Yun Muheng unhappily to express her dissatisfaction.

Ye Chuxue herself didn't know why she lost control when she heard Lan Fei's caring words. She had never been a sentimental person, but no one had ever treated her so sincerely or cared about her, whether before or after her soul traveled through time. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was crying or the original owner was crying out of grievance.

Ye Chuxue realized her own loss of composure and quickly withdrew from Concubine Lan's arms. Seeing Concubine Lan's gorgeous brocade clothes soaked by her tears, she said a little embarrassedly, "Mother, I'm sorry, your clothes are wet."

Concubine Lan smiled gently and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Silly child, what does it matter? It's just a piece of clothing. But can we not get a divorce? Mother can't bear to leave you."

Ye Chuxue knew that Concubine Lan was sent to a separate courtyard by Yun Muheng and did not allow anyone to visit or take care of her.

In a fit of anger, Concubine Lan went to Anguo Temple and told Yun Muheng that she would only come back if Ye Chuxue was brought back to the palace.

Concubine Lan was genuinely kind to Ye Chuxue, which touched her deeply. Ye Chuxue said awkwardly, "Mother, I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry. It's my fault, but the prince and I have no feelings for each other. Forcing us to be together like this will only make both of us more miserable."

Yun Muheng heard that Ye Chuxue seemed determined to divorce, so he glared at her and said sourly, "From what I see, you just want to divorce quickly so you can be with your lover. Why bother pretending to have no feelings?"

Ye Chuxue sneered, "Your Highness, it was you who ordered me and the child to be sent to another courtyard on the day I gave birth, disregarding our lives. It was you who never even looked at me and the child in the past four years! We've been self-sufficient for the past four years. Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband and father? When I asked for a divorce, you found a trumped-up charge against me. Sorry, I deny it!"

Concubine Lan was so angry that she hit Yun Muheng and said sternly, "Shut up! The fault is yours! You are not allowed to refute!"

Yun Muheng dodged while pouting in grievance, muttering softly: "Who is your biological child!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Lan became even more furious: "You are so bold! I really wish Xue'er was my biological child, but I'm not that lucky!"

Seeing Concubine Lan's exasperated look, Ye Chuxue quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Mother, please don't be angry. It's not worth it. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Ye Chuxue looked at the emperor with a determined look and said seriously, "Father, this is the reward I want. Please grant it to me."

The emperor lowered his head in thought, his brows furrowed, but he didn't know what he was thinking of. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his brows relaxed, and he said in a very embarrassed manner: "My words are golden and I will keep them. Since you are so, I agree."

Before the emperor could finish his words, he felt a pair of cold and angry eyes staring at him, as if they were going to devour him in the next second.

The Emperor gave Concubine Lan a reassuring look and continued, "However, I know that you and Heng'er have a child. This is royal blood, and you must not take him away."

Ye Chuxue blurted out anxiously, "Why? Father, I raised this child single-handedly. He has never left my side since birth. Yun Muheng has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for a single day. Naturally, I should take my child away. Besides, if the prince remarries in the future, where will my child go?"

The emperor was imposing without being angry, his eyes like torches, and he said sternly: "Princess Yunxin, don't be willful. Your child is naturally a descendant of the royal family and has the protection of the royal family. You don't have to worry about this."

Yun Muheng's face was livid, and he said firmly, "Father, I don't want those two children!"

Lan Fei, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Yun Muheng in shock, her eyes full of disbelief. She asked in a trembling voice, "Two children?"

Yun Muheng nodded and replied seriously, "Yes, Ye Chuxue gave birth to a son and a daughter, twins."

He suddenly remembered Xiao Yuanzi's lovely smiling face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he himself did not even notice this subtle change.
