Chapter 493 Finale

The room suddenly became extremely quiet because of Mo Jingxi's question.

"Knowing that Yue'er is pregnant, you have changed your temper. This is the right thing to do. You should pay attention to me from now on and don't hit Yue'er, otherwise I will not forgive you.

Also, this princess wants to have some private conversation with Yue'er now. Can you, as a grown man, please step away? ”

Mo Jingxi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, which made Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing both stunned. Then they looked at each other, and Su Yue nodded to Shangguan Nanxing.

"Don't worry, this princess will definitely be more careful now that she knows Yue'er is pregnant."

Mo Jingxi met Shangguan Nanxing's gaze and added another sentence.

Shangguan Nanxing heard this, looked at Su Yue, and saw Su Yue nodded slightly again, then he went out.

"Xi'er, what do you want from me?" Su Yue saw Shangguan Nanxing leave, and then she softly asked Mo Jingxi who was sitting opposite her.

"Don't lie to me. The prince just now was his true nature. You were acting like that before because you were afraid that I would like him, so you deliberately put on a show for me?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Jingxi restrained his expression and suddenly spoke.

"Princess Xi, you figured it out. Although we deceived you on purpose, we had no choice. And after getting along with Princess Xi, I feel even more guilty about deceiving you. Now that Princess Xi figured it out, I can breathe a sigh of relief."

When Su Yue heard Mo Jingxi say this, the smile on her face froze and was replaced by an apologetic look.

"Humph, I'm not a fool. Let me ask you, do you really feel guilty towards me?"

When Mo Jingxi heard Su Yue say this and looked at Su Yue's guilty expression, he asked this question again.

"I really feel guilty." Su Yue didn't expect Mo Jingxi to ask such a question, so she replied solemnly.

"You also know that I, Mo Jingxi, have a bad temper. You have deceived me like this. Logically, I should go to my father to have a talk. However, I decided to give you a chance to make amends."

When Mo Jingxi said this, he could no longer hold back the angry expression he had been pretending to have, so he started laughing again.

"What do you want me to do?" Su Yue saw that Mo Jingxi, who always had a bad temper, was not angry after knowing the truth, so she asked curiously.

"I want you to take me to Medicine King Valley. If you take me there, we will still be good sisters."

Mo Jingxi looked at Su Yue and stated his request.

He was in Mo Country, but he had to persuade, coax, deceive, cry and make a fuss, before he could get the Crown Prince to reveal that Huai Sheng was from Medicine King Valley, and he also found out that Su Yue was also from Medicine King Valley.

She asked around about Yaowang Valley and found out that the place could only be found with guidance from people in the valley.

Qi Zheng had been killed by the Crown Prince, so she thought of looking for Su Yue and asking her to help lead the way.

During this month, when Huai Sheng first left, she just felt empty, but later she frequently dreamed of Huai Sheng's gentle movements and smile.

Who is she, Mo Jingxi? If she realizes her feelings, she will definitely pursue her husband.

"What are you doing going to Medicine King Valley, and the Crown Prince..." Su Yue asked subconsciously after hearing Mo Jingxi's words.

"My eldest brother was planning a rebellion, and was caught red-handed by the Crown Prince a while ago. Moreover, my eldest brother also forged weapons and trained an army privately. Father was very angry and put my eldest brother under house arrest, and he is not allowed to leave the Crown Prince's Palace for the rest of his life."

When Mo Jingxi heard Su Yue ask this, he told her everything he knew.

After hearing this, Su Yue finally felt relieved. The secret of killing the eldest prince was naturally to secretly train an army and forge weapons. Mo Jingchen really lived up to her expectations.

"What are you going to do in Yaowang Valley?" Su Yue saw that Mo Jingxi did not mention this, so she asked again.

"I...I want to ask Huai Sheng in person why he left without saying goodbye!"

After Mo Jingxi finished speaking, her cheeks flushed.

"Oh~Is that so? Then I will definitely help my sister. Shall we set off immediately?"

When Su Yue saw Mo Jingxi's expression, she suddenly understood why Mo Jingxi was not angry when she knew she had been deceived. It turned out that her heart had fallen on her senior brother!

Thinking of this, Su Yue looked at Mo Jingxi again, and sighed in her heart that she had to deliver such a good peach blossom to him personally.

"Really? Then let's set off now." Mo Jingxi smiled when he heard Su Yue say this. After saying it subconsciously, he felt embarrassed when he saw Su Yue's knowing smile.

"Of course, let's go." Su Yue felt more determined upon seeing this.

Afterwards, Su Yue set off for Yaowang Valley again as Shangguan Nanxing was reluctant to let her go.

It was not until seven days later that one of them came back. As for Mo Jingxi, he naturally stayed in Yaowang Valley.

Time flies, it’s winter, the day of first snow.

The news that the Crown Princess gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, spread throughout the streets and alleys of Dongyou.

In the palace, the emperor held a baby in each hand, with a satisfied smile that had not been seen for a long time. This smile did not look like the expression of a dying person.

"Eunuch Zhu, how long will it take for the peach blossoms to bloom?" The emperor looked at Eunuch Zhu and asked softly, his voice weak.

"To answer your Majesty, it will probably take about three months." Eunuch Zhu lowered his head and answered respectfully, but he never heard the emperor's answer.

Eunuch Zhu raised his head and looked at the emperor lying on the bed, still holding the child in his hands, looking out the half-open window.

The emperor's eyes had closed without anyone noticing.

Emperor Dongyou died.

The whole country was in mourning.

Later, Crown Prince Shangguan Nanxing ascended the throne as emperor, and Su Yue became empress.

The first thing the ministers did after he ascended the throne was to expand his harem.

However, the new emperor refused on the grounds that he had to observe three years of mourning.

Three years later, the ministers brought up the old matter again. From that moment on, more and more children of similar age were around the three-year-old prince to study and practice calligraphy together.

These children were all born to officials in the court. Shangguan Nanxing felt that it would be boring for the little prince to study alone, so he asked them to accompany him.

But what's interesting is that the fathers or grandfathers of these children had asked the emperor to expand his harem, and they would spend every day thinking of ways to write memorials to persuade Shangguan Nanxing to take more concubines and expand his family.

Now their sons and grandsons were sent to the palace, under the pretext of accompanying the prince in his studies, and they often returned home only once every ten days or half a month. From then on, no one in the court dared to mention taking a concubine.

After all, as soon as it was mentioned, the emperor used the excuse that the little prince was learning loneliness and sent his sons and grandsons to the palace if they had sons or grandsons.

The emperor said that the man had no grandchildren or sons, and that his own family had not yet expanded, so why should he care about the affairs of the harem? So after the court session, he rewarded the man with several beautiful concubines.

Those who sent their children away could not bear not seeing their children for ten days or half a month. So they cried and made a fuss every day, blaming their parents every day for why they had to introduce a concubine when the emperor and empress were obviously in love.

The officials dared not refuse the beautiful wives the emperor bestowed upon them, and when they took them home, they would fight over their wives in the backyard, which gave them a headache.

For a while, the official who proposed taking a concubine had his backyard on fire and was in chaos. From then on, all officials in the court remained silent on the issue of taking a concubine.

"Why, are you bothered by the issue of expanding the harem proposed by those officials in the court again?" In Yinfeng Palace, Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing in bright yellow in the mirror and walked in, and asked with a chuckle.

"You are not jealous." Shangguan Nanxing stepped forward, leaned over and hugged Su Yue from behind.

"It's not that I'm not jealous, it's just that I trust you." Su Yue said softly with a faint smile.

"Yuer..." Shangguan Nanxing suddenly lowered his voice when he heard Su Yue say this.

"Hmm?" Su Yue responded softly, with some doubt.

"Thank you for your trust in me." Shangguan Nanxing spoke with a gentle and tender tone that made Su Yue's ears blush.

"No, I should thank you. Your trust and honesty are much greater than mine." Su Yue stretched out her hand, gently placed it on Shangguan Nanxing's hand, and spoke tenderly.

"I love you, Yue'er..." Shangguan Nanxing's heart moved when he heard Su Yue say this.

"I love you too..." Su Yue responded softly as if she was bewitched.

When Shangguan Nanxing heard Su Yue's words, he turned Su Yue around so that they were facing each other.

Just when their lips were about to touch.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, the Crown Princess Chen Wanwan requests an audience." The familiar Ruofeng's voice spoke again at an inopportune time.

"Ruofeng, you can't marry Xiaohe when she reaches the age of 15. Wait until she's sixteen, then you can marry her."

After a long time, Shangguan Nanxing walked out of the Yinfeng Palace and looked at Ruofeng with a cold expression.

Ruofeng was stunned. He didn't know why the emperor said that. He looked at Xiaohe painfully. Xiaohe met Ruofeng's puzzled gaze and couldn't help laughing.

"Why don't you come with me!" Seeing that Ruofeng didn't catch up, Shangguan Nanxing turned around and saw Ruofeng exchanging glances with Xiaohe, and shouted again.

Ruofeng heard this and hurriedly followed.

Su Yue, who watched the whole process, smiled lightly. Then she looked up and saw a familiar figure walking towards her. Wanwan's belly was slightly bulging.

Chen Wanwan, who still had a bit of girlish naivety, saw Su Yue looking at her, so she smiled and waved at Su Yue.

"Yuer..."
