He wanted to live a pastoral life with Li Mengyue in Xingxi Village, but his father's imperial edict shattered his plan. He knew that even if he really disobeyed the emperor's order, his father would not do anything to him.

But he couldn't do that, because he knew how much pressure his father had to withstand to issue such an imperial decree.

Furthermore, he learned about Li Mengyue's life experience and was constantly being assassinated, so he could only go all out to resettle the refugees.

Besides, even if there was no imperial edict, he would not stand idly by when he saw so many refugees struggling in Qingshan Prefecture.

As the third prince of the Zhou Dynasty, he enjoyed supreme power and should have fulfilled his obligations to the people.

What's more, Li Mengyue also asked him to save people. In such a situation, he had no reason to refuse.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees eventually fled to Qingshan Prefecture. With the joint efforts of everyone, life gradually got back on track.

But in real life, no one knows which will come first, a natural disaster or an accident. When he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to spend some time with Li Mengyue and give birth.

Unexpectedly, the northern garrison encountered an avalanche, forcing him to put aside all his affairs in Qingshan Prefecture and immediately set off for the northern border.

Fortunately, Li Mengyue knew his plan and stopped him from riding to the north, allowing him to stay for the time being.

Because of the arrival of the extremely cold winter, the people of the family encountered various difficulties in their lives. After that, he made arrangements with Li Mengyue and teleported to Beiling City.

During the few months he stayed in Beiling City, not only did he defeat the Beimo army, but Li Mengyue also gave birth to four adorable babies for him.

When he saw the four babies, his heart melted. He completely understood what blood ties were and selectively forgot the imperial edict given to him by his father.

He had no intention of returning to the capital, so he took Li Mengyue and the children to stay in Beiling City for a long time and live an ordinary life.

But someone from the palace told him that it was all wishful thinking. His status meant that he could not live a life like ordinary people, working from sunrise to sunset.

Even if he is unwilling, he must arrange to return to the capital as soon as possible.

What's more, he had already received news that his father was in poor health. Fortunately, Li Mengyue gave him spiritual spring water and soul-saving pills, which prevented his father's health from deteriorating further.

He didn't dare to think about it. If there was no Li Mengyue's medicine and he only relied on the people in the Imperial Hospital, he didn't know how long his father would have lasted.

It has been more than half a year since he last saw his father. When he met his father again, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"Father, how is your health?"

"Yuan'er, tell father that your place is really good."

When Xie Ruiyuan heard what his father said, he was instantly petrified. He didn't expect that after not seeing his father for such a long time, his father only cared about that issue.

"Father, what are you talking about? If I had you, you would have four grandchildren."

"Oh, yes, yes, it was Father who made a mistake. What about my grandchildren? Why didn't you bring them along?"

"Father, don't you know this best?"

Emperor Wu knew that what the third brother said was correct. He knew very well that the current situation in the capital was not suitable for four children to come.

"Father is just too impatient. I really want to see Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao."

“It’s not easy to see this.”

As he spoke, Xie Ruiyuan took out a small booklet from his arms.

"Yuan'er, what do you mean? Please explain it to me clearly."

Xie Ruiyuan ignored Emperor Wu and carefully opened the silk handkerchief, took out a booklet from it, opened it, read the contents on it, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his smile was unusually gentle.

"Yuan'er, give it to me quickly, let me see."
