My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

After Xu Wuyan took control of the capital, he handed over all the affairs of the capital to Grand Secretary Han, while he rushed back to Mocheng to pick up his wife and children.

He wanted to share this joy with her alone.

After two months of traveling day and night, he finally returned to Mocheng.

I also happened to see the Seventh Prince, Li Shengting, who had a dark expression on his face.

"I regret signing that contract with you. You brought my son to your capital city, and now it will be so difficult for me to see him again!" Li Shengting said through gritted teeth.

"Twelve years old, I'll send you back." Xu Wuyan said disdainfully, "If you don't want to, you can take it away now."

Hmph, they all want to be with his wife, but he doesn't care.

"Twelve years old, I'll remember that." Li Shengting glanced at him and left leisurely.

Xu Wuyan rushed off to see the person he had been longing for.

After resting in Yuancheng for two days and settling things there, they set off for the capital together.

As they left the Xu family mansion, Xu Wuyan held Lin Mo's hand, a smile playing on his lips:

"Madam, do you still remember what I told you? I would definitely bring you back to the capital in glory, making all the women in the world envious of you. Now I have done it."

"Now I'll take you back to Beijing in style!"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Yes."

My mighty hero has returned to pick us up.

Xu Wuyan reached out and hugged her, his face full of affection, "Without you, there would be no me!"

"Madam, we won't have to be apart anymore; we can be together forever."

He's been running around all these years, and he's exhausted.

Lin Mo nodded, glanced back at Yuan Cheng behind her, and looked regretful.

Having lived in this place for so many years, it's really hard to leave her like this.

"Reluctant to part with it?" Xu Wuyan looked behind her together:

"When I have time in the future, I'll come back here with you to visit."

Lin Mo shook her head, "No."

It takes three months for this carriage to come here and another three months to return. How much time is wasted?

Moreover, this house has been converted into a study, so there's nowhere for us to stay when we come back.

Lin Mo felt regretful.

The house was left vacant, so she decided to convert it into an academy to provide literacy education for children in the neighborhood.

"Who said it would take another three months?" Xu Wuyan chuckled, pointing to the large river ahead.

"Once things stabilize, I plan to have someone build this waterway and open up the closest waterway to the capital. This way, it will save a lot of time when we come to Mo City in the future."

The land in Mocheng is fertile, and if used properly, it will benefit future development.

Lin Mo chuckled, "Okay!"

We'll come back together to visit again then.

……

Upon returning to the capital, surrounded by a crowd, Xu Wuyan proclaimed himself emperor and changed the country's name to Great Xu.

On the day he ascended the throne, he made Lin Mo his empress, and she received the kneeling worship of the crowd along with him, giving her a unique honor.

For the next two years, the couple devoted themselves to developing Daxu, cracking down on corrupt officials, and vigorously promoting agriculture.

Liu Dongyang was appointed as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and was tasked with promoting the planting of new crops on their behalf.

After two years of governance, the people of Daxu gradually returned to a peaceful and prosperous life, and the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the twins were seven years old, and Xu Ziyue was almost nine.

Xu Wuyan took it upon himself to send all three siblings to Grand Secretary Han's house so that Grand Secretary Han could teach them.

With no children and no extra concubines in the harem, the entire palace was unusually quiet.

Kunning Palace.

Lin Mo glanced casually at Physician Mu taking her pulse, without interrupting him.

When they left Yuancheng, they brought the Mu family back to the capital as well.

Doctor Mu's medical skills are widely recognized.

Moreover, Lin Mo trusted Physician Mu's medical skills, so after returning to the palace, Physician Han was in charge of monitoring her pulse.

After Physician Mu released his grip, Lin Mo finally spoke:

"Doctor Mu, please tell me honestly, is there something wrong with my body?"

Otherwise, how could I only have a son and a daughter after all these years?

This shouldn't be happening.

The fact that she can give birth means that there is nothing wrong with her body.

But in the past two years, no matter what I tried, I just couldn't get pregnant.

That's right.

After she had some free time and her three children stopped clinging to her, she thought about having another child to play with.

Now that she has money and free time, she can raise two more children without any problem.

But I can't get pregnant.

So she immediately had someone invite Physician Mu over to take her pulse and see if there was anything wrong with her body.

When Physician Mu heard her words, his body trembled involuntarily.

But he quickly calmed down, organized his thoughts, and then cautiously said, "Your Majesty, you are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you."

The matter of children is a matter of fate.

"Well, maybe it's just not meant to be. Why don't you wait a little longer?"

Oh dear, after he goes back this time, he should be able to retire and return to his hometown.

He has to take the blame for the emperor's mistakes, but the blame is too big for him to bear.

"Maybe." Lin Mo frowned.

"I just want to give the Emperor another son. Now everyone in the court is saying that the Emperor doesn't have many children and that the Emperor should take a concubine."

But the emperor refused and punished the minister who had been the loudest in protest.

I didn't want to put him in a difficult position, so I thought maybe I should have two more children; perhaps then they wouldn't cause trouble.

With that, Lin Mo sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked directly outside.

If possible, she naturally wouldn't want any other woman to get involved between them.

But Xu is now, after all, an emperor. Having three palaces and six courtyards, yet he only has himself, is indeed easily criticized. And he only has one biological son…

A hint of melancholy crept into Lin Mo's eyes.

Physician Mu hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head:

"Your Majesty, His Majesty will handle this matter well. His Majesty will never betray Your Majesty's sincere heart. Your Majesty should relax and avoid worrying too much."

The Empress deserves much credit for the Xu dynasty's current success.

If the emperor were to do something to betray the empress, it would be truly heartbreaking.

Lin Mo waved for him to leave first.

But Lin Mo only realized what was happening when Doctor Mu had just reached the door.

She squinted at Doctor Mu, "Doctor Mu, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, Your Majesty, I dare not!" Physician Mu was startled and quickly lowered his head. The Empress was as perceptive as ever.

“No, you do. Dr. Mu, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely.” Lin Mo said with a serious expression.

If he didn't, would he be so nervous and anxious?

Doctor Mu was caught in a dilemma.

But knowing the Empress's personality well, he gritted his teeth in the end and said, "It's not that Your Majesty can't have children, it's that the Emperor can't have children."

The Emperor drank a contraceptive potion on the third day after you gave birth.

So how could the Empress possibly conceive?

If she is really pregnant, then this is a really big problem.

Lin Mo's eyes widened. She remembered what he had said the night she gave birth. He said he wouldn't have any more children, and he really meant it.

He even drank the contraceptive soup without saying a word.

Lin Mo silently waved for Doctor Mu to leave.

As soon as Physician Mu left, Xu Wuyan rushed over in a flurry.

Upon entering Kunning Palace, he immediately stepped forward nervously:

"Madam, where do you feel unwell?"

Physician Mu took your pulse, what did he say?

She couldn't help but complain that Physician Mu hadn't told her about taking her pulse, and then she left.

Lin Mo looked up at him, her face stern. "Old Xu, are you hiding something from me?"

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"

Xu Wuyan looked blank. "No?"

I haven't hidden anything from you.

"Madam, who has been gossiping about you?"

Xu Wuyan cautiously inquired, "I haven't been doing anything lately, so why does Madam look so serious?"

Even after he became emperor and she became empress, he still preferred to call her "Madam" because it was a more affectionate way to address her.

Lin Mo shook her head. "Are you sure you're really hiding something from me?"

"I swear, no." Xu Wuyan said seriously, "Don't you trust my character, Madam?"

"Contraceptive soup," Lin Mo said, staring into his eyes.

Xu Wuyan was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "Did Physician Mu tell you this?"

I was so scared! I thought something terrible had happened.

"It's nothing serious, it's not like we don't have children, right?"

Lin Mo's lips twitched. A trivial matter?

Is it a minor matter that he drank contraceptive soup?

Seeing that she still had a stern face, Xu Wuyan felt sorry for her and reached out to hug her. "Alright, it's really nothing, don't worry about it."

I can't bear to see you go through the pain of childbirth again, and I can't bear to see you drink contraceptive soup every time. Drinking too much contraceptive soup will harm your health, so I chose to drink contraceptive soup myself.

"You see, it's so much easier and simpler for men to drink contraceptive soup than for women. It completely solves all their problems at once, isn't that great?"

"So you didn't even consult me ​​before making your own decision?" Lin Mo gritted her teeth, reached out and pinched the tender flesh on his waist, roaring:

"Old Xu, I'll strangle you!"

"Ah!" Xu Wuyan screamed in agony.

"Madam, please spare me! I was wrong!"

Doctor Mu promised to keep his mouth shut, but you betrayed me!
