Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

"You all pay your respects to the Crown Prince! May Your Highness be well!!!"

The imperial palace guards who rushed over all knelt and kowtowed to Qing Tingyu with great respect.

"Hmm!" Qing Tingyu picked up Qianqianluo, who was covered in blood, and, disregarding everyone else, dragged her into the carriage that Mei Zifeng had brought.

"Order the Imperial Medical Academy to take good care of this honored guest, and order the Court of Judicial Review to thoroughly investigate today's assassination attempt. Make sure to find the traitors behind it and exterminate their entire families!" The young tyrant coldly spoke from inside the extravagant carriage.

"Yes! We will do our utmost to kill the treacherous officials behind the scenes and respectfully escort the Crown Prince back!!" Zhang Xiao trembled with fear and hurriedly expressed his determination and loyalty to the Crown Prince!

"Um!"

The prince's carriage slowly drove away from the road, the distant sound of the carriage wheels crushing the hearts of the guards present time and time again.

"General Zhang, you've arrived at just the right time, humph!" Mei Ziye, who had left to clean up the mess, settled the remaining members of the Mo family in another carriage. As the carriage passed by Zhang Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, Mei Ziye was full of mockery and suspicion.

"Respectfully seeing off Guard Mei!!" Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth, stood up, and bowed to the second carriage that had departed from the Eastern Palace.

The assassination of a distinguished guest right under the emperor's nose was a major incident that humiliated the royal family and quickly reached the court.

In the Imperial Court, General Lin and General Yang led a group of court officials to discuss matters.

The Grand Eunuch Kang, in a high-pitched voice, shouted: "Our Emperor, having heard of the attack on the Mo family at the gates of the capital, has urgently summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter!"

"Our Emperor is wise and benevolent!!"

"Our Emperor is wise and benevolent!!"

The court officials all bowed and knelt down to express their gratitude for the emperor's grace.

"Well, what are your thoughts, my esteemed ministers?!" Qing Tingmo asked, half his face hidden in his glazed crown, his voice carrying an air of authority.

"Your Majesty, right here under the emperor's nose, right at the foot of the imperial city, these treacherous officials dare to attempt assassination! This is utterly outrageous!"

"Moreover, Mo Fanfan, the youngest daughter of the Mo family, is also on the list for this imperial concubine selection ceremony. Your Majesty, I am filled with dread, fearing that this treacherous minister is after my Emperor!!"

General Lin spoke first, his tone filled with fear.

"Your Majesty, I have heard from someone that the Crown Prince saved the entire Mo family's lives this time!" General Yang stepped forward and added with a bow.

"Your Majesty, General Yang, I have received a report that the Crown Prince's tutor, Qianqian, is a young and handsome man with excellent martial arts skills, and he has also participated in this battle!" Grand Chancellor Gui, with his wrinkled eyelids drooping, also stepped forward and kowtowed to report the situation.

"Hahaha, I think you ministers know more about this assassination attempt than I do!"

"It is a blessing for the Qingting Dynasty and the people of Qingting to have such diligent and capable ministers in the capital!" Qingting Yu clapped his hands and cheered, his hearty laughter echoing through the air.

"Wei Chen is terrified!"

"Your humble servant is overwhelmed with gratitude!!!" Upon hearing the emperor's praise, the court officials all knelt down to express their thanks.

"Alright, no need for such formalities!"

"Now that Yu'er has safely moved the Mo clan into the official residence, let's entrust the task of apprehending the traitors to the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!"

"Your humble servant obeys the decree; Your Majesty is wise!"

"Our Emperor is wise and benevolent!!!"

"Our Emperor is wise and benevolent!!!!!"

"Alright, once the truth is uncovered, we will reward the Crown Prince and his tutor handsomely!"

"I am tired, let's adjourn the court!" Qing Tingyu rose and, with the help of Grand Eunuch Kang, slowly left the dragon throne.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our Emperor!!!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our Emperor!!!!!"

The court officials knelt on the ground in a dense mass, their voices of farewell echoing throughout the imperial court.

Qing Tingmo, dressed in a black and gold dragon robe, sat expressionlessly on the dragon palanquin, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Your Majesty, shall we still go to the Palace of Badges?!" Grand Eunuch Kang cautiously tried to fathom the emperor's thoughts, asking a question whose answer he already knew.

"No, go to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace!!"

"I heard from the court officials that Yu'er also participated in this battle. Go and check on Yu'er to see if she is well!"

"Yes, someone come here~ Prepare the carriage for the Eastern Palace!!!" Grand Eunuch Kang flicked his whisk and followed the emperor's palanquin with his fingers in a delicate gesture.

The inner palace of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace was filled with people from the Imperial Medical Academy.

Qing Tingmo sat beside the Crown Prince's bed, looking at the unconscious Qianqianluo, and hurriedly inquired about her condition: "Is the Crown Prince unwell?!"

As soon as the emperor posed the question, which was gentle yet imposing, all the imperial physicians in the room knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, we have carefully examined the Crown Prince, and by Your Majesty's grace, the Crown Prince is unharmed and in good health!"

"Hmm, where has Yu'er gone now?! Why didn't I see Yu'er in the East Palace?!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Zifeng, the personal guard left behind in the Eastern Palace, immediately stepped forward and knelt down to reply, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has gone to the capital to prepare an outer residence to appease the Mo clan!"

"Oh?! Is the Mo family currently living in the Crown Prince's outer residence?!" Qing Tingmo asked thoughtfully, feeling that his Crown Prince might have developed feelings for this young lady from the Mo family.

"By order of the Emperor, yes!!"

"Good! Yu'er has grown up now and can make her own decisions."

"You all, please rise quickly and do not stand on ceremony!" Qing Tingmo looked at Qianqianluo, who was still unconscious on the Crown Prince's bed, and slowly gave the order.

"We kowtow in gratitude for the Emperor's grace!!"

"Alright, I'm tired too! You all take good care of Young Master Luo, and report any problems you may have!"

Qing Tingmo stood up listlessly and strode out of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

"Respectfully seeing off our Emperor!!!" All the guards and maids of the Eastern Palace bowed and expressed their gratitude to the departing imperial carriage.

Mei Zifeng then dispatched a group of personal guards to stand guard outside the Crown Prince's inner palace, prohibiting anyone except the imperial physicians from entering.

Qianqianluo lay on the Crown Prince's bed, still unconscious.

Her tightly furrowed brows and anxious, muttering words revealed that she was currently experiencing a nightmare and was in great pain.

Compared to Qianqianluo's body, which was still recovering from old injuries and suffering from new illnesses, Mo Fanfan, who lived in the Crown Prince's outer residence, had already awakened to the young tyrant's devoted watchful gaze.

The inner hall of the prince's outer residence.

"Ah, Yu! Waaaaah~"

"Father and brother, how are you?! Waaaaaah!!" Upon waking up, Mo Fanfan rushed towards Qing Tingyu, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Fanfan, don't cry yourself sick!!"

"Father and elder brother are in good health, and the imperial physicians have been ordered to take good care of them!"

"Don't cry, what if you hurt yourself by crying?!" The little tyrant took the opportunity to pull Mo Fanfan into his arms, patting her head affectionately, full of comfort.

"Yes!! Miss Fanfan, please don't be too sad. General Mo and General Mo have been properly settled by the Crown Prince in the side hall of the outer residence!!"

"It's not too late to go see her after you've recovered!" Mei Ziye said, trying to comfort Mo Fanfan, who was crying her eyes out, her words full of tenderness.

"Hahaha! Great! Thank you, General Ziye!"

Mo Fanfan shyly stepped out of the little tyrant's arms, looked at Mei Ziye, who had played with her at the high tower in the northern desert when they were young, puffed out her cheeks playfully, and smiled charmingly.

"It's alright, Miss Fanfan!!"

"Hahaha!!"

"We've finally been waiting for you! You've finally arrived in the capital!"

"The Crown Prince thinks of you every day in the Eastern Palace, he misses you terribly!!!"
