After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Yesterday, the Emperor did not attend the joyous occasion at the Regent's Palace; instead, the Eldest Princess handled the arrangements on his behalf.

The main reason was that the emperor was worried that Murong Xiao would go directly to the palace after the wedding ceremony.

Later, after hearing the report from the princess's men, Murong Xiao felt better after the wedding ceremony, and the Gu poison in his body was also expelled; however, his body was severely damaged and he needed to rest and recuperate, otherwise his life might be in danger.

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief; at least the person was still alive!

After thinking about it all night, the title was finally decided.

So he sent someone to the Regent's Palace early in the morning to announce the imperial decree.

Qin Wanyou had just finished breakfast when she heard someone come to announce that she should go to the front hall to receive the imperial decree.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, they saw that the door to the next room was also opening, and Mo Nan was helping Murong Xiao out.

Qin Wanyou and the others immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

Mo Nan also bowed to Qin Wanyou, saying, "Greetings, Princess Consort."

Murong Xiao glanced at Qin Wanyou and coughed lightly. "Rise, all of you. There's no need for such formalities, Princess Consort."

Qin Wanyou and the others stood up and remained still, waiting for Murong Xiao to leave first.

Seeing that Qin Wanyou didn't move, Murong Xiao said, "Let's go together!"

After saying that, he raised his hand, waiting for Qin Wanyou to come up and help him.

However, Qin Wanyou had no intention of helping Murong Xiao and walked straight past him.

Murong Xiao saw Qin Wanyou walk in front of him, glanced at his raised hand, and chuckled.

Suddenly, Qin Wanyou turned around and asked, "Young Master, can't you walk anymore?"

Murong Xiao was surprised when Qin Wanyou turned around. He immediately clenched his fist and brought it to his mouth to pretend to cough and cover up his embarrassment. "I can leave, Princess Consort, please!"

Qin Wanyou slowed down, and Murong Xiao quickened his pace and walked alongside her.

The servants of the Prince's mansion saw the two approaching and sighed inwardly: What a beautiful couple! If only the young master were healthy, what a lovely scene it would be!

Murong Xiao and Qin Wanyou arrived at the front hall, where the guards and eunuchs who had delivered the imperial decree were already waiting.

Upon seeing the two arrive, he immediately bowed to them, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort."

Murong Xiao said, "Eunuch Mu, you may dispense with the formalities. May I ask what His Majesty's intentions?"

Eunuch Mu immediately produced the imperial edict, "Murong Xiao, Qin Wanyou, receive the edict!"

Mo Nan immediately helped Murong Xiao kneel down, and Qin Wanyou and the others followed suit.

The eunuch Mu opened the imperial edict, "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Murong Xiao, son of the Regent, is exceptionally talented, prudent, and accomplished in both inner and outer conduct, dedicated to his family and career; he stands out among the noble and virtuous, possessing the finest qualities. He is deserving of a fiefdom to govern his homeland. Therefore, he is hereby granted the title of Prince An. The investiture ceremony will be held next month. This is the imperial decree!"

Murong Xiao received the imperial decree and kowtowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Grandpa Mu said, "No rush, there's more."

Then another imperial edict was opened, "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Qin Wanyou, daughter of the Right Chancellor, is dignified, virtuous, gentle, and a good wife. She is chaste, kind, and pure. Therefore, she is hereby conferred the title of Princess Consort of An. This is the imperial decree!"

Qin Wanyou received the imperial decree and kowtowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Eunuch Mu presented the imperial edict, saying, "Congratulations, Prince An! Congratulations, Princess An!"

Murong Xiao accepted the imperial edict. "Thank you, Your Excellency! The steward invites you to the dining hall for breakfast."

Eunuch Mu hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Your Highness. I must hurry back to report, so I won't stay any longer."

The steward, with keen insight, showed the rewards to the eunuch and the guards.

The eunuch, carrying the reward, happily left the palace with his men.

Qin Wanyou returned to her room with the imperial edict. Looking at the information on the edict, it seemed that none of the sentences matched her own.

Just as I was about to go out with Shuangling, I saw the butler and his men come in carrying a bunch of things.

Murong Xiao next door was asking Granny Wang about Chu Yue's situation, but he was actually asking about his own mother.

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang looked distressed. "Young Master, the Princess Consort... the Princess Consort did indeed die for her country eleven years ago."

Murong Xiao looked at the jade pendant his mother had given him before her departure, and he hesitated to accept the emperor's decree regarding the throne. He thought that since he hadn't seen his mother's body, perhaps she was still alive, but injured and unable to come to him.

Granny Wang continued, "When I returned to Chu Yue, I found Chu Lan, who had gone to war with the Princess back then. When I found Chu Lan, she was already on her deathbed. She was seriously injured and was holding on to her last breath while waiting for us to come to her. She hid the natal Gu that the Princess left behind before she died in her own body. After taking out the golden Gu and giving it to me, she went to find the Princess."

Murong Xiao stared at Granny Wang in shock. "You mean the golden Gu that saved me and drew out the Gu worms is my mother's natal Gu?"

Granny Wang nodded, weeping, and said, "Yes. Chu Lan said that on the battlefield, the Princess was attacked by Chu Yue's rivals and was surrounded. When she escaped, she was already seriously injured, and Chu Hong and the others had all died. Knowing that she was dying, the Princess took out her life-bound Gu at her last moment and gave it to Chu Lan to take back to Dayan to cure you."

However, Chu Lan was also seriously injured. At that time, reinforcements from Great Yan were slow to arrive. After cremating the Queen, she and Chu Qing blended into Chu Yue and returned there to recuperate. Because of the severity of their injuries, they never fully recovered and were unable to find an opportunity to return to Great Yan. Chu Qing endured for several years before passing away five years ago.

The people from all directions were deeply saddened upon hearing this and couldn't help but shed tears.

Master Liaoyun turned his meditation beads and said, "Amitabha."

Doctor Luo sighed and continued to work with his medicinal herbs.

Murong Xiao clutched the jade pendant tightly, heartbroken. "What about Mother's natal Gu?"

Granny Wang sighed, "Although Chu Lan has been nourishing the Golden Gu all these years, your Gu poison is too insidious and powerful. The Golden Gu defeated the Gu worms on your body and lured them out, but they were gone this morning. However, I have cultivated a small Golden Gu and am raising it in the Gu room."

Murong Xiao could no longer hold back his tears; his mother's last breath had been taken away.

Granny Wang comforted Murong Xiao, "Young master, the Princess Consort has loved you with all her heart. You must take good care of your health and live well."

Murong Xiao choked up for a moment, "I know, I want to be alone. You all can leave now!"

As soon as Granny Wang left the room, she saw the steward running away as if someone was chasing him, and she couldn't stop him.

Shuangling called from behind, "Butler, don't run away!"

Granny Wang asked Shuangling what had happened, and Shuangling told her what had happened.

It turned out that the steward, on the orders of the prince, handed over the management of the manor to Qin Wanyou and told her about the manor's businesses, how much the monthly expenses were, and how much the income was.

Looking at these ledgers, Qin Wanyou realized she had to earn money to support such a large group of people, and she decided she was quitting.

Therefore, the housekeeper was allowed to continue managing the household.

However, the steward didn't want to deal with it anymore, so he left the account books and the keys to the accounting office as tokens and ran away.

Not long after the housekeeper left, Gu Siyuan skipped in.

"Auntie, do you know what's going on outside about your Right Prime Minister's residence?"
