Mo Beichen snorted coldly, "Anyone who isn't an idiot would do that."

Now that the Tianlang Kingdom and the Tianmo Kingdom are united, given enough time for the Tianmo Kingdom to catch its breath, it will one day annex the other two kingdoms one by one.

However, if these two countries join forces and confront the Tianmo Kingdom, they might still have a glimmer of hope.

"Notify Mo Jiu and Mo Shi to expedite the integration of the Tianlang Kingdom's soldiers into our army as soon as possible. Also, strengthen border defenses and report any unusual activity immediately," Mo Beichen instructed methodically.

Mo Feng stood aside, taking notes one by one.

"In the capital, any disturbances in the residences of the ministers must be reported immediately. We must keep a close eye on things."

"Furthermore, the order in the capital cannot be disrupted. These ministers will be replaced by fresh blood sooner or later. This is a good opportunity to have Mo Shu find suitable candidates in advance."

"Also, find the black-robed man who escaped from the palace. If necessary, contact the... The message from the tower says he's been out for a while, with the princess?"

As Mo Beichen was speaking, he suddenly remembered the news that had come from inside the building earlier.

Mo Feng cautiously glanced at Mo Beichen's expression, and seeing that he showed no displeasure, he then replied.

"Your Highness, yes, it was on the way to the Wildlands that the Princess Consort was escorted by the Underworld Lord. Later, the Princess Consort fell off a cliff, and the Underworld Lord left as well."

While reporting, Mo Feng carefully observed Mo Beichen's every move.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief only after she finished speaking and saw that Mo Beichen showed no displeasure.

Back then, when the prince wanted to marry the princess, all the elders and several venerable masters in the building disagreed.

Among them, the voice of opposition from the Underworld Lord was the loudest.

However, his reasons for opposing it were rather bizarre.

He wasn't against the prince marrying the princess; he was simply against the prince taking a wife.

In his own words at the time, he hadn't even married, so why should the prince get married?

Of course, the Underworld Lord was just enjoying the spectacle, thinking things weren't getting any worse.

"Is there any other movement inside?" Mo Beichen picked up another memorial and continued browsing.

"Your Highness, the elders are very dissatisfied with you for destroying the Tianlang Kingdom for the sake of the Princess. They said that you, you..." Mo Feng suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Mo Beichen glanced at him. "Mo Feng? When did I teach you to be mute?"

Mo Feng hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Your subordinate dares not. The elders said that you are too preoccupied with romantic love. There are still many matters in the building that await your attention, yet you disregarded everything and jumped off a cliff for the sake of the princess. Such recklessness is truly unbecoming of your status."

"Identity? If she dies, the whole world will be buried with her." Mo Beichen snorted coldly and said indifferently.

He then added, "Tell the elders in the building what I said. If they are still not content, tell them to choose another wise leader."

Mo Feng hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Highness, I will take care of it immediately. As for the Underworld Lord..."

"Tell him that I owe him a favor. I have already granted his request, so we are now even," Mo Beichen said calmly, picking up his teacup.

Mo Feng was suddenly startled. "Your Highness, wasn't that thing you were going to keep for your own use?"

Mo Beichen stopped him, "If the item is gone, we can look for it again. Besides, it hasn't flared up for many days, so maybe it's already healed. Give it to him."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Feng responded and withdrew.

Mo Beichen lowered his head and continued reading the memorial in his hand.

When Yun Qingluo woke up again, it was already evening.

Xiao Yi immediately started chattering, "Oh, you're finally awake! You were sleeping so soundly, I called you several times but you didn't wake up."

Yun Qingluo frowned. "Was I sleeping very soundly?"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "Yeah, yeah, anyone who didn't know better would think you were fast asleep."

Yun Qingluo was startled. "Achen, has he come back?"

Xiao Yi muttered, "I came to see you, probably to invite you to dinner, but when I saw you weren't awake, I left."

Yun Qingluo's heart tightened. "Achen, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Xiao Yi said with dissatisfaction, "You only have five months to live yourself, so you should take it easy. You still have time to care about others."

Yes, five months.

Five months...

There are still many things it can do.

Yun Qinglu forced herself to cheer up, "Alright, Xiao Yi, don't be pessimistic. Once the Tianmo Kingdom's court is stable, we'll head to the Southern Frontier. There should be a solution there."

Xiao Yi said angrily, "Then we need to hurry up, you should urge Mo Beichen!"

"No, Ah Chen can't know. I'll just say I want to travel to Southern Xinjiang."

"Why do you have to wrong yourself? Wouldn't it be better to have someone to share the burden with?" Xiao Yi said, dissatisfied.

Yun Qingluo sighed, said nothing, sat up, leaned against the headboard, and stared blankly at the top of the bed curtains.

Yes, if one person suffers, it won't feel so bitter if two people share the burden.

But Ah Chen has already suffered so much.

Even on their wedding night, he almost painfully sent her away...

Over the past year, they have spent little time together, and Ah Chen has only tasted a little bit of sweetness.

She couldn't bear to see him suffer any longer.

Yun Qinglu was lost in thought when the door was suddenly pushed open, and she smelled the aroma of food.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Yun Tao walked in carrying a tray and saw Yun Qingluo leaning against the headboard. She asked excitedly.

Yun Tao placed the tray on the table, took out the food from the plate, and put it on the table.

She walked to the bedside again. "Your Highness, is there anything else that feels uncomfortable? You have no idea how scared we were. After you woke up, Yun Tao and I wanted to come and see you, but the Prince wouldn't allow it, saying it would disturb your rest. Humph, the Prince just wants to stay with you by himself."

Yun Qingluo smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, I feel much better after a good night's sleep. By the way, how are Zeyan and Qianyue?"

Xiao Yi said, "Your man has hired more than a dozen wet nurses and more than twenty maids and servants. The two of them are probably having a great time."

While helping Yun Qingluo get dressed, Yun Tao said, "Your Highness, the young master and young lady have wet nurses, and the prince has also specially found many milk goats. The young master and young lady have grown a bit more in the past few days."

Yun Qingluo finished dressing and sat down at the dressing table. While fixing her hair, she said, "Go and bring them over here. I want to take a look at them."

Yun Tao accepted the order and left.

Yun Qinglu felt a little annoyed; she really was an incompetent mother.

She thought that after arriving in the capital, she might not have time to take care of her two children, but she never imagined that she would not see them for several days in a row.

Moreover, if I were to go to the Southern Frontier, it would be inappropriate to bring Zeyan and Qianyue along, as we would likely be separated for a long time.

Xiao Yi was a little puzzled, "Hey, why haven't we heard anything from Yun Ju yet?"

Yun Qingluo was also a little puzzled. "I asked Yun Li to check. I guess something happened on the way and it caused the delay."
