Under the cover of night, Xuan Ling and Sheng Xiyan were followed by guards and secret guards. When they arrived at Taiye Lake, the guards happened to rescue Yu Mo to the shore first.

"Yu Mo, Yu Mo!" Xuan Ling laid him flat and pressed his abdomen.

Sheng Xiyan looked into the dark Taiye Lake and saw that the guards were still looking for Concubine Gao.

Concubine Lin cried, "After the banquet, I and Sister Gao went to Liuyun Palace to see His Highness Mo. He was very emotional and said he didn't want anyone else to be his mother. He ran away. We chased him all the way. He jumped into the Taiye Lake. Sister Gao followed him in, but she can't swim... Queen, will she die?"

Sheng Xiyan stretched her neck to look around, and suddenly saw the guards holding up a woman. "Found it! We found Sister Gao!"

Yu Mo spat out a mouthful of water and woke up, "Father, father," crying and throwing himself into Xuan Ling's arms.

Xuan Ling hugged him and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Yu Mo, your father is here." He wrapped him in a cloak.

The guards brought Concubine Gao ashore. Sheng Xiyan pressed her abdomen, but after a long time, there was no response. She quickly checked her breath and found it was weak.

"Sister Gao! Sister Gao!" Sheng Xiyan called out. Seeing this, Yu Mo's eyes turned red.

Xuan Ling asked, "Yu Mo, can you go see Concubine Gao?"

Yu Mo wiped his tears and said, "Madam Gao, wake up..."

Sheng Xiyan lay on Concubine Gao's chest and listened to her heartbeat. "Go get the acupuncture kit quickly. I'll give her acupuncture. Quick!"

She pressed a few acupuncture points on Concubine Gao, and Concubine Lin hurriedly helped.

"Sister Gao, Sister Gao, please wake up. You said we would take care of His Highness Mo together. You said we would take care of the three babies together with the Queen. Wuwuwu..."

Yu Mo recalled that a quarter of an hour ago, he angrily pushed Concubine Gao away in Liuyun Palace and roared, "Get out! I don't want you to be my mother, you are not worthy! I have a mother, and my mother is Rong Guiyi, not you!"

He jumped into the Taiye Lake out of anger, and Concubine Gao actually jumped in after him. Before drowning, she swam towards him, shouting, "Yumo, don't be afraid, Concubine Gao will save you..."

Yu Mo blamed himself and cried, "Father, will she die like mother?"

Xuan Ling hugged him and said, "There is still hope, don't give up."

After a while, Tie Niu came running like lightning with an acupuncture box in his arms. Sheng Xiyan began to give acupuncture to Concubine Gao's head, while Wu Yuanpan continued to press on Concubine Gao's abdomen. Everyone's heart was in their throat.

A bead of cold sweat fell on Sheng Xiyan's forehead. Xuan Ling took a handkerchief and gently wiped her sweat, not daring to disturb her at all.

After an unknown amount of time, someone shouted, "It's moving! Concubine Gao's finger is moving!"

Gao Fei's eyeballs moved under her eyelids and she slowly opened her eyes.

He shouted hoarsely: "Yumo, Yumo! Save Yumo!..."

Yu Mo cried, "Empress Gao, I'm here."

The two mothers and sons hugged each other without any help.

Xuan Ling helped Sheng Xiyan up, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen."

"Lin Jieyu, please accompany Concubine Gao back and get some rest. Yumo, are you willing to follow Father and Mother back to the Yangxin Palace to sleep tonight?"

Joy flashed in Yu Mo's eyes and he nodded.

She asked timidly, "Empress, can I go?"

Sheng Xiyan bent down and wiped the water off his hair, "Yumo, can you call me mother from now on?"

"Mother."

"So good."

Xuan Ling picked up Yu Mo, with Sheng Xiyan beside him, and the three of them went to the Yangxin Palace.

That night, Xuan Ling gave Mo a bath for the first time and changed him into dry clothes.

Yu Mo slept in the middle of the dragon couch with his eyes wide open. He was reluctant to sleep. This was his first time to sleep in the Yangxin Palace, and also his first time to sleep with Xuan Ling.

Sheng Xiyan asked: "Yu Mo, do you want your father to tell you a story?" Yu Mo nodded.

Xuan Ling took out a book on the Warring States Policy from the left drawer and began to talk about it.

Yu Mo listened attentively and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

Sheng Xiyan stroked his hair and covered him with the quilt.

"Your Majesty, I want to show more care and love to Yumo. I hope he can grow up happily."

Xuan Ling reached out and rubbed her head, knowing that she felt a little guilty about Rong Guiyi's death.

"Yanyan, everything is my will. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to think too much."

Sheng Xiyan raised her eyes and listened to Xuan Ling say, "And I won't blame myself, because I am the emperor."

The next day.

Concubine Gao arrived early, "Yumo, I'm here to take you to school."

Yu Mo curled his lips in displeasure and walked ahead.

Lin Jieyu came running over and said, "I'm sorry I'm late."

Concubine Gao suggested: "Why don't we go out and have some fun? We can take a day off today."

Yu Mo was extremely surprised: "Go play?"

In the past, Rong Guiyi was extremely strict. If he dared to skip school, he would be beaten with sticks and fried meat.

"Really? Do you think we should go fishing, or catch butterflies, or rob bird nests?"

Yu Mo muttered, "Aren't you afraid of ruining me?"

Concubine Gao and Concubine Lin each took his hand and said, "No, you can learn after you have fun. It will be more efficient, and the most important thing is happiness."

Jiang Jiang and Le Wen were passing by not far away, and Concubine Gao called out, "Young Master, Princess, please ask the Grand Tutor for leave for today on behalf of Yu Mo!"

The general waved his hand and said, "I understand."

Yu Mo cheered, "Then let's go rob the bird's nest. I know a place!"

Concubine Gao and Concubine Lin chased after him, and the laughter of the three could be heard.

Le Wen sighed and said, "Alas, Yu Mo has given up on himself."

Jiang Jiang said, "He's in a bad mood, so it's good to have some fun."

Ever since Sheng Xiyan succeeded to the throne of empress, there has not been a formal palace-wide greeting. She wanted to wait until after the enthronement ceremony. The most important thing is that she slept in and couldn't get up, so someone was watching her.
