Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

"Le Ge'er, slow down!" Yunzhi chased after him. After staying at the villa for a while, Le Ge'er had regained his former liveliness. She reached out and caught the smiling Le Ge'er, picking up the child. "Madam is calling you."

Le Ge'er was still laughing when he asked, "What does Mother want with me?"

"Do you still remember what Madam taught you?" Yunzhi and the others lived in the small courtyard of the villa. To avoid Le Ge'er mentioning Princess Longyu, they hadn't taken him there for the past few days.

“We’re staying with a kind family. My mother was poisoned, so we can’t go back to the capital right away. I remember all that!” Le’er said, winking at Yunzhi. “Aunt Yunzhi, am I smart?”

"You're so smart, the smartest one." Yunzhi carried Le Ge'er into the house.

Their courtyard is secluded and inaccessible to most people. Every day, a specific person delivers their meals to them, as they are afraid of being seen by more people and causing unnecessary trouble.

Inside the house, Ye Wanning helped Chunxi pack her bags. "That's about it. Don't bring any new clothes. Just bring what we wore at the beginning, so as not to arouse suspicion."

As she spoke, she glanced outside. "His Highness has already arranged for your brother to join the army. Rather than having him come with us into the inner quarters, it would be better to let him gain some experience. But are you really sure you want him to join the army?"

This is a chaotic time, and war could break out at any moment. If war does break out, it's easy to gain merit, but you could also lose your life.

Ye Wanning originally wanted Chunxi's younger brother to go to school, but Chunxi's younger brother wanted to go to the army camp himself.

“I tried to persuade him, but he insisted on going to the army, saying that in chaotic times, one can only achieve success by relying on one’s fists.” What Chunxi didn’t say was that her younger brother chose the army because he harbored hatred in his heart.

"It's not too late to regret now."

“No need. Since he’s made up his mind, let him stay in the army,” Chunxi said. “From now on, let me follow you. If he becomes successful, he can repay your kindness.”

Ye Wanning had no intention of repaying the debt. As she spoke, seeing Yunzhi carrying Le Ge'er back, she gently asked her son to repeat what he had taught her these past few days.

"Aunt Yunzhi just told me to say it." Although Le Ge'er is young, too many things have happened recently, making him sensitive. "Mother, are we moving again?"

"Yes, Mother is going to take you to meet my family. They are all very nice people." Ye Wanning touched her son's little face.

"Will they all be good to us?" Le Ge'er looked at his mother curiously.

"That's for sure. Go and change your clothes with Yunzhi. We're leaving soon." After watching her son leave, Ye Wanning took Chunxi to say goodbye to her godmother.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw her adoptive mother arrive with Granny Jiang.

Princess Longyu brought no one else with her, only Granny Jiang. She took Ye Wanning's hand and said, "There will likely be many things to happen on this trip to the capital. You must be extremely careful. Once you've settled down at the Ye family's residence, send someone to inform me, understand?"

She truly couldn't bear to part with Ye Wanning, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't protect Ye Wanning forever; Ye Wanning needed to regain her rightful identity.

Ye Wanning was also reluctant to part with him, saying, "You too, please take good care of yourself. I still need to rely on you."

Princess Longyu, with tears in her eyes, hugged Ye Wanning. "Good girl, remember to come to me if you need anything. It's almost time, let's go. The roads are slippery in winter, and we won't get there before dark if we don't leave now."

Ye Wanning nodded. "Yes, we should set off."

After bidding farewell to Princess Longyu, Ye Wanning set off with Yunzhi and the others. To avoid arousing suspicion, they were taken to another location by carriage and then walked into the capital.

As evening approached, Ye Wanning arrived at the city gate. Looking at the capital city she hadn't returned to for so long, she was filled with mixed emotions.

"Madam, it's almost our turn," Yunzhi whispered a reminder.

Soon it was Ye Wanning's turn. The soldiers guarding the city asked Ye Wanning to take off her cloak. As soon as Ye Wanning raised her hand, she saw Xie Bohuai riding past on horseback through the city gate.
