Ye Zeyu named his two children Ye Nianyu and Ye Niansheng, representing his longing for Prince Yu and General Lin.

Su Muxi naturally had no objection to this.

Seeing that Ye Zeyu was taking good care of the two children, Su Muxi was happy to relax and let go.

After all, they were his own sons, so Ye Zeyu couldn't really do anything to the two children.

So she began to focus her energy on the people of the northern frontier.

The northern border region experienced a sudden outbreak of war. Military camps needed repair, city walls needed reinforcement, and the people needed to recuperate.

Su Muxi bought grain for the people and found people to rebuild their houses. Now, whenever the people mention Princess Yong'an, they are full of gratitude and praise.

It even seemed to be gaining momentum to overshadow Ye Zeyu, the war god of Qi.

But having too good a reputation is ultimately not a good thing, at least not if it gets back to the capital.

Three months later, the Emperor issued an edict summoning Prince Yong'an and Princess Yong'an back to the capital to receive their reward.

After the eunuch delivering the imperial decree left, Wen Siyun immediately knelt down in front of Ye Zeyu.

"Your Highness, you must not return to the capital!"

Seeing Wen Siyun like this, both the veterans and the newcomers in the army thought of one thing.

That was the incident twenty years ago when Prince Yu returned to the capital.

The same thing happened back then. The emperor issued an edict ordering Prince Yu and General Lin to return to the capital to receive their rewards, but unexpectedly, they were sent back to their deaths.

An emperor would not allow anyone to have a higher reputation than himself, not even his own brothers or father and son.

Back then, Wen Siyun couldn't stop Prince Yu, but now she's prepared to risk her life to stop Prince Yong'an!

Ye Zeyu remained silent, staring at the imperial edict in his hand. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Since it is an imperial edict, how can we not reply?"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, you mustn't!"

…

With Wen Siyun taking the lead in stopping them, a group of elderly soldiers also knelt down.

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Zeyu sighed helplessly, "If word gets out about your actions, you'll accuse me of treason."

Rise, all of you. My mind is made up; I am determined to return to the capital.

But don't worry, I will be fine.

Two days later, the Xuanwu Army and a huge crowd of people from the northern frontier stood at the city gate to see them off, a truly magnificent scene.

Su Muxi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Compared to the people of Fukang County, the people of the Northern Frontier were much more simple and honest.

"Judging from this situation, if anything happens to you, I'm afraid the Northern Frontier will immediately rebel."

Su Muxi's words were not an exaggeration at all.

But then Ye Ziyu laughed and said, "I'm afraid the rebellion isn't because of me, but because of the Princess Yong'an, who is like a Bodhisattva reincarnated!"

Su Muxi now holds a very high position in the hearts of the people. She has also found a way to make a living for many people in the northern border region. If something happens to Su Muxi, the soldiers may consider many things, but if the people want to rebel, the momentum should not be underestimated.

Su Muxi said irritably, "What kind of time is this to be joking around? Besides, do you really believe in the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu unfolded the imperial edict and pointed to the small needle prick mark in the lower left corner of the edict.

"This is a secret code that the Emperor and I agreed upon before. If he writes a letter to me, he will definitely prick a hole in the end of the letter with a needle. Only then will it be considered that it was written by him personally, otherwise it is a forgery by someone else."

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict certainly wouldn't dare to deliver a fake one, but the emperor even pricked a pinhole in the edict. This meant that the emperor wanted to tell me that he was still the same person he always was, and to put my mind at ease.

Su Muxi smiled slightly, "Since you believe in the Emperor, then I will believe in him too."

After a two-week journey, Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi finally returned to the capital.

The people lined both sides of the street to welcome them.

After all, Ye Ziyu had returned victorious this time.

This scene reminded Su Muxi of the first time she met Ye Zeyu.

That day, when Ye Zeyu returned to the capital, it was the same, except that the people who wanted to watch were all driven away by the Imperial Guards. At that time, she secretly made up her mind not to get involved with Ye Zeyu.

Unexpectedly, she not only got involved with Ye Zeyu, but also had two children with him.

"Xi'er, you take the child back to the manor first, I'll go to the palace by myself."

Ye Zeyu said in a deep voice.

Although he had said he believed in Ye Zemin all the way, it seemed that he still had some doubts in his heart.

But Su Muxi shook her head and said, "I'm not going back to the manor. I want to go to the palace with you."

She will not become her mother, Yun Ying. Even if something unforeseen happens, she will stay with Ye Zeyu.

"That child..."

Ye Zeyu hesitated.

Su Muxi smiled slightly, "Of course we'll be together. A family should be together, shouldn't they!"

Wen Siyun stood outside the palace gate, watching Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi carry the child into the palace, and clenched her fists.

Like His Highness Prince Yu, Prince Yong'an is stubborn and cannot be persuaded. However, he will not desert this time!

And so, he waited, not knowing how long, until the sky gradually darkened, and his heart sank little by little.

It's been almost three hours since we entered the palace, why hasn't a single message been sent out?!

Could it be that the prince and princess have met with misfortune?

Just then, the palace gates slowly opened, and Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi walked out.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Wen Siyun had just put on a smile when she immediately realized something was wrong.

The two young princes have disappeared!

Looking at the prince and princess's composed faces, he immediately became nervous again.
