“You’re not wrong. If it were me, I would never mistake an old woman for Aze’s wife.” Xu Yuehuai smiled and waved his hand, signaling the guards to return to their positions.

Seeing that Xu Yuehuai didn't hold it against them, the guards respected and admired her even more.

Xu Yuehuai saw that Qi Guze had been extremely busy these days, catching up on all the previously accumulated official duties.

She has now recovered and is no longer the patient who needed his protection. She can now become Qi Guze's right-hand woman and help him handle affairs.

"Now, the Mingyue Kingdom appears to be as it was before, but inside, countless parasites are destroying its foundation."

"To find the worms, we must first understand that flies don't land on eggs without cracks."

“We made a cracked egg to lure them over and bite it.”

"Once we catch a few of them, we can uproot them all."

Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze discussed how to punish the corrupt officials of the Mingyue Kingdom.

"What's your idea?" he asked curiously.

"Let's do this first... and then..." Xu Yuehuai whispered her thoughts in his ear.

"Excellent! If this succeeds, perhaps the Wuling Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom can achieve the same." Qi Guze immediately wrote a letter and sent his secret guards to instruct his subordinates on the operation.

Xu Yuehuai stroked his chin, continuing to ponder how to dig out the alien race as well.

After all, these aliens can infiltrate normal human bodies, and they can also control the minds of ordinary people. Finding their true forms is like finding a needle in a haystack...

On this day, Bei Xuan and Xia Sen sent word that Qi Guze should bring Xu Yuehuai into the palace.

"Great! I haven't seen Ah Xuan and Ah Sen in a long time either. Let's hurry to the palace." Xu Yuehuai immediately prepared some pills and specially made weapons, packed them all together, and put them on the carriage.

Seeing Xu Yuehuai so excited and in good spirits, Qi Guze relaxed a bit.

An hour later, the two of them arrived at the inner palace carrying large and small bags of things.

Bei Xuan's bedroom was quiet and peaceful, surrounded only by withered flowers and plants, with no one walking around.

Xu Yuehuai looked somber, remembering that the little princess had only been gone a short while ago, and it seemed that Bei Xuan and Xia Sen had not yet recovered from their grief.

Once inside, Bei Xuan leaned back in her chair, while Xia Sen wiped her sweat.

"Sister!" Bei Xuan and Xia Sen exclaimed in unison when they saw Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai quickly went to meet Bei Xuan and took her hand, saying, "Don't be too sad, your health is not good."

When she held Bei Xuan's hand, she had already taken Bei Xuan's pulse.

"Sister, I know. But every time I go to sleep at night, I always dream about her... My poor child!"

"Why was she the one who died?"

"He's just a child, what harm could he possibly cause them?"

"If they want to destroy the Dark Moon Kingdom, they might as well just come and kill me!"

Bei Xuan spoke haltingly, her face already streaked with tears.

Xu Yuehuai felt a chill run down his spine, so he could only quietly hug her, pat her back, and comfort her.

"What's done is done. You need to take good care of yourself so you can help her get revenge!"

“If the little one saw you so weak, she definitely wouldn’t be happy.”

"Even if it's just for the little one's sake, you have to hang in there."

Bei Xuan choked back tears as she wiped them away, nodding repeatedly.

Xia Sen said from the side, "It's a pity that we searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the murderer."

“The child’s grave was dug up, and the body is gone.”

"What?" Xu Yuehuai hadn't expected those people to be so vicious, not even sparing the child's corpse.

Could it be the work of foreigners again?

Could it be that they want the child's body to be resurrected?

Is it really possible to do this with such a small corpse?

Xu Yuehuai was filled with dread, increasingly feeling that this matter was not simple. They were definitely not after the child's life, but rather something else that they wanted.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you search."

"I will definitely find the child's body."

"You two should support each other and work together to protect the Kingdom of Dark Moon."

"After you've avenged the child, you can recuperate and have another child."

"Maybe the child will continue to live with your family."

Bei Xuan was somewhat bewildered, yet also filled with anticipation.

"Really?"

"Hmm." If those people can be resurrected through possession, why can't they?

Xu Yuehuai did not say the second half of her sentence, so as not to give them the greatest hope only to disappoint them later.

We'll talk to them when everything has settled down.

Then, Xu Yuehuai and the others discussed the recent situation on all sides and devised countermeasures.

Before leaving, Xu Yuehuai prescribed medicine for both of them, hoping they could get over the loss of their child as soon as possible.

In the carriage, Xu Yuehuai leaned against Qi Guze's chest.

"I really can't imagine if I went through the same thing they went through, would I still be as calm as they were?"

"I won't let you encounter such a thing," Qi Guze said decisively.

However, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Xu Yuehuai became increasingly worried that her children might also encounter danger, so she asked Qi Guze to arrange for the people who had been sent to take care of her to be with the children.

Meanwhile, Qi Ziang and Qi Zixin lived in a secluded place.

"Brother! When can we reunite with Mother and the others?" Qi Zixin asked, plucking flowers from her hands.

Qi Zi'ang gently rubbed her little head. "Mother and the others are fighting against the evil people right now. We can wait here in peace. No matter how long it takes, we will be reunited one day."

"Come and see! It looks like Grandma has arrived!" Tie Chunsheng waved them over.

"How could that be? Mother and the others are still busy, they couldn't have found us here so quickly." Upon hearing this news, Qi Zixin's intuition was that Tie Chunsheng was lying to her.

However, suddenly the woman opposite slowly approached his figure, and her face looked exactly like Xu Yuehuai's.

"Mother?" Qi Zixin said as she walked up to the woman.

"My dear child, it's been a long time!" The woman squatted down, wanting to hug Qi Zixin, but she dodged away.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize your mother after just a short time apart?"

"You are not my mother. My mother has a lovely fragrance, but you smell terrible!"

Qi Zixin quickly retreated, with Qi Ziang protecting him behind him. Tie Chunsheng rushed in front of them with his sword, assuming a protective stance.

"That woman's child is really boring." Song Luo removed the disguise from her face, revealing a face that was slightly less attractive than Xu Yuehuai's.

"You wicked woman, you're not allowed to insult my mother!" Qi Zixin glared angrily at Song Luo.

Song Luo sneered, "Your mother is no good either, and so are you. Like begets like, and a beast begets a little beast. How dare you speak to your elders at such a young age?"
