Yun Qingluo glanced at the sleeping Yin Shaoxi, then carefully moved closer to Mo Beichen and asked in a low voice, "Achen, are you really sure? This is no joke."

Mo Beichen nodded slightly, indicating that it was not a big deal and he didn't understand why Luo Luo reacted so strongly; she should be happy.

After a moment of silence, Yun Qingluo turned her head and looked out the car window at the continuous heavy rain.

She knew what this decision meant; being an empress was no easy task.

Even in modern times, women do not have an equal status in the workplace, in government, in business, or even in the family, let alone in ancient times.

Prejudice is an insurmountable mountain; if you can't climb it, you'll exhaust yourself.

She never thought of making Qian Yue the empress; she only hoped that her little princess could live a peaceful and happy life, and that was enough.

Of course, so was Zeyan, but she had already brainwashed herself into believing that Zeyan was the crown prince and she couldn't interfere too much. He was destined to suffer a lot, and she had to prepare herself in advance.

Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore. The two children are still very young.

"Ah Chen, let's talk about this later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first," Yun Qingluo said softly, leaning on Mo Beichen's shoulder as she turned around.

Mo Beichen didn't understand why Yun Qingluo suddenly changed the subject, but he knew that Yun Qingluo had her own thoughts and considerations.

Since she didn't want to say more, he didn't press her further.

Anyway, he believed that Luo Luo would tell him everything sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

And they have plenty of time.

"Okay, no rush." ​​Mo Beichen wrapped his arms around Yun Qingluo's slender waist and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

Xuancang Continent, Imperial Palace.

Xuanming sat at his desk, carefully flipping through the book in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were pondering the contents of the book.

He has been reading the book for two days in a row.

Xuanming gently put down the book in his hand, rubbed his temples, and relieved his tired eyes.

He looked up at the window, the incessant rain making him feel somewhat irritable.

Xuan thought of his fiancée and felt a pang of guilt.

Since the disaster struck, he had been busy with official duties, and even the wedding banquet had to be postponed. He knew she must be very disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

Xuanming took a deep breath, picked up the book again, and continued reading.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps, looked up, and saw a black figure walking in.

"Your Highness, Yingzhu said you have something to ask me?" Yingzi walked up to Xuanming, bowed, and said respectfully.

Xuanming nodded. "It's just the two of us, so don't be so reserved. You don't need to be so polite."

He then asked, "What have Mo Beichen and the others been doing lately?"

He remembered being invited to his wedding banquet, but he declined because he had to rush back to see his children.

I just sent out invitations a few days ago, so I guess I won't be rushing back this time.

Shadow hesitated for a moment, then finally told the truth.

"They went to Minchuan?" Xuanming was somewhat surprised. He had been busy with government affairs and rarely had time to inquire, but he did not expect to receive this answer.

Shadow hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

Xuanming frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What are they doing there?"

Shadow lowered his head and said softly, "They are carrying several carts of medicine and heading towards the disaster area."

Xuanming was shocked; he hadn't expected them to go to the disaster area.

Xuanming was silent for a moment, then spoke up: "Are they going to do disaster relief?"

Shadow lowered his head, not daring to look Xuanming in the eye, and said softly, "Your Highness, I don't know."

Xuanming frowned; he knew that Shadow was definitely hiding something.

He stared at the shadow with a sharp, piercing gaze. After a while, the shadow felt a chill run through his body, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that the shadow's expression had relaxed somewhat, Xuanming slowly spoke: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Shadow gritted his teeth and finally mustered the courage to say, "Your Majesty, they did indeed go to help the disaster victims."

Xuanming regained his composure and continued, "Why did they do this?"

Shadow took a deep breath and explained, "Your Majesty, they are all kind people who cannot bear to see the disaster victims suffer."

Xuan Ming chuckled, "Only you could come up with such a lame excuse. Would Mo Beichen be so bored as to meddle in other people's business?"

"Perhaps they saw that His Highness was of great help, so they wanted to help us as well," Shadow replied matter-of-factly.

"We are all driven by self-interest, Shadow, don't make me angry," Xuan Ming said calmly, his smile fading.

Upon hearing this, Shadow immediately knelt down.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. Miss Mu used Xuanfeng to protect them. She said she would explain to you later, so I dared not tell you in advance." Shadow apologized to Mu Zhi in her heart, and then reported the situation to Xuan Ming in detail.

Xuanming knew about Xuanfeng's recognition of its master, but he thought it was just a coincidence. He never expected there to be this story behind it.

"I'll go check on her," Xuan Ming said, and then stood up.

Shadow looked bewildered; he couldn't quite keep up with his prince's train of thought.

Why did you suddenly decide to go and see it?

That's not what he meant. What if we run into each other and start arguing?

"Your Highness, it's raining heavily outside. It's not too late to go tomorrow." The shadow quickly flashed in front of Xuan Ming, blocking his way.

Xuanming looked displeased. "I finally have some free time. I'll be right back. Get out of my way. This girl has helped me so much, and the Grand Tutor has visited the palace many times, yet he hasn't mentioned it once."
