Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 664

Shen Lingjun choked for a long time before weakly saying, "I can't answer that for you. You should ask Yao'er yourself if he's willing."

Although Qin Chuyao is only eight years old, that's not a problem. Shen Lingjun has never thought that her two children are ordinary kids; they can do anything.

Shen Lingjun herself didn't really want her child to become an emperor. This position, while offering the highest power and honor in the world, also meant facing unimaginable pressure and hardship.

Her greatest wish was that Yao'er and Xi'er could be safe, healthy, and have a smooth life.

However, Mo Chonggui was also considering the bigger picture. If Western Qi and Northern Yi could maintain peace and tranquility for decades, tens of thousands of children in both countries would be able to live stable and peaceful lives.

In short, Shen Lingjun respected Qin Chuyao's own wishes.

It all depends on whether Qin Chuyao is willing to accept this huge hot potato that his father has handed him.

Mo Zhonggui said, "Alright, I'll send a letter to Yao'er right away. If he agrees, I'll bring him and Xi'er over. Then we'll tell everyone that they are my blood relatives who were separated from me many years ago, and that I'm bringing them back to the Crown Prince's residence."

Shen Lingjun laughed: "What if people outside ask who his mother is?"

Mo Zhonggui thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Let me tell you that many years ago I accidentally wandered into the snowy plains and met a fairy of otherworldly beauty who descended to the mortal realm. She took a liking to me, and we had a brief affair. We had a son and a daughter who remained in the mortal world before she gracefully returned to heaven..."

Shen Lingjun was already laughing uncontrollably: "Since the fairy has left, how can you prove they are your children?"

Mo Chonggui smiled and said, "Do you still remember the pair of little red dragon snakes I gave to Yao'er and Xi'er back then? The red dragon snake is a kind of strange snake, which was first discovered in the Western Qi imperial tomb hundreds of years ago. It has a special nature and can recognize the bloodline of the Western Qi royal family. Not only will it not attack, but it will also be exceptionally close to them. As long as you can gain the red dragon snake's recognition, then there will be no fakes."

Shen Lingjun suddenly realized: "No wonder you dared to send them snakes, and weren't afraid of them being bitten. I thought you were deliberately trying to kill them."

Mo Chonggui changed the subject, saying, "If I could get rid of this throne, wouldn't you be able to leave me behind?"

Shen Lingjun: "Well... that's true."

Mo Zhonggui took her hand and intertwined their fingers.

"When the time comes, whether you want to go back to Western Qi or travel the world, I can go with you. I mentioned this to you before on the Anlin Grand Canal."

Shen Lingjun also remembered.

At that time, Mo Zhonggui also mentioned that she and her master had traveled to some famous scenic spots before, and she could take him there as well.

She simply didn't have any hope for their future at the time, so she didn't respond to his words. He probably also felt that the road ahead was uncertain, unsure if they could continue or where they would ultimately end up, so he didn't give her any further promises.

But now, the fog has finally lifted from their path, and it has become clearer than ever before.

Moreover, it boasts stunning scenery.

Shen Lingjun's heart, which had been hanging there for more than a year, has finally settled down.

It's like falling into a pot of boiling sugar, swelling up from being soaked in sweet water. I've never felt this way before, my heart filled with anticipation for the future.

She had already made up her mind that if Yao'er didn't want to be the emperor of Xi Qi, she would coax Xi'er to become the emperor. If Xi Qi didn't accept the empress, then she would disguise herself as a man!

Anyway, whichever of them it is, they have to take the throne and release their father!
