Another month passed, and Jun Yihuan finally returned to the capital amid everyone's anticipation.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn and dignified.

Those old ministers who once judged Jun Yihuan's ability based on his age and were full of doubts and contempt for him, now all had complicated expressions, whispering to each other, and couldn't stop sighing that the young are so formidable.

Some old officials were filled with disbelief, muttering to themselves, "It's really unexpected that the eldest prince is so capable!"

Some old ministers stroked their beards, nodded slightly, and showed admiration in their eyes.

General Wei was even more pleased, as he had watched the eldest prince grow up.

Jun Yihuan walked to the center of the court, his eyes calm and confident.

With both hands, he respectfully presented a series of solid evidence that the Yan family and Jinzhou officials formed cliques for personal gain and obstructed drought relief efforts.

"Father, I have fulfilled your mission. I have secured a chance for the people of Jinzhou and uncovered the treacherous officials for the court!" Jun Yihuan's voice was firm, echoing throughout the court.

"good!"

Jun Zechen sat upright on the dragon throne, looking at Jun Yihuan with pride, his eyes full of satisfaction and approval.

Jun Yihuan never lets him and Yaoyao down.

After coming down from the court, Jun Yihuan headed towards Kunning Palace without even having time to change out of his court robes.

Along the way, he walked hurriedly, looked anxious, and his heart was full of concern for his mother.

When he came back, Jun Yihuan heard that his mother was pregnant. He was stunned at first, then he was surprised and happy. But then he heard that his mother had a miscarriage when she was more than a month pregnant because she was worried about his situation in Jinzhou.

Jun Yihuan was full of worry and self-blame.

At this moment, he was only thinking about seeing his mother as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to tell her that he had done it and asked her not to worry about him anymore.

When Jun Yihuan arrived at Kunning Palace, Su Jingyao was sitting upright on the couch with gentle and focused eyes, waiting for his arrival.

She is now almost five months pregnant, and her belly is very bulging and noticeable.

"Your son pays respects to your mother."

Jun Yihuan bowed respectfully, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Su Jingyao looked carefully at her son whom she hadn't seen for several months. He looked much darker and thinner, but had grown a lot taller.

"Star come here."

Su Jingyao was pregnant and in poor health, so she could only stretch out her hand and call him softly.

Jun Yihuan hurried forward, and Su Jingyao held his hand tightly, her eyes full of concern: "Are you afraid of going to Jinzhou this time?"

Su Jingyao is indeed selfish. She wants to be the queen mother, so both Jun Zechen and Jun Yihuan are stepping stones for her to move up. She loves them, but she loves herself more.

The last time I had an argument with Jun Zechen, the conflict between the two of them was about Xingxing, but it wasn't about him either.

Jun Zechen hopes that Xingxing will become an even better emperor than him. Even if the journey is dangerous and Xingxing's life may be on the line, it is what he should experience.

But Su Jingyao’s idea is that Xingxing can go through the test of being an emperor, but it cannot be at the cost of his life. Not all wise rulers in history need to experience life and death.

Fortunately, Jun Zechen understood her, and Su Jingyao also understood Jun Zechen's persistence as an emperor, but understanding did not mean she accepted it.

If Xingxing were infected with the epidemic in Jinzhou, and Jinzhou did not have as good imperial doctors and environment as the imperial palace, one accident would mean the loss of her life. How could Su Jingyao accept this?

"Mother, this time it is your son who has made you worried."

Jun Yihuan lowered his head, his voice full of guilt.

"It doesn't matter. As long as Xingxing comes back safely, Mother will be very happy and relieved."

Her son is growing up step by step as she expected, and one day the star will become a shining purple star.

"Queen Mother, please do not be angry with Father. I have no complaints about your arrangements. I am even very motivated. My ambition is no less than yours. I will grow up to be more powerful than you."

Jun Yihuan raised his head and looked at Su Jingyao firmly, his tone full of confidence and determination.

Su Jingyao looked at the spirited young boy in front of her, the smile on her face grew brighter, her eyes filled with pride.

He is worthy of being her son.

Jun Yihuan has always known the expectations of his father and mother. He never felt that it was oppressive or heavy. Instead, he felt that it was the motivation to move forward.

I can only do better than they expect.

The dynasty has become prosperous under the governance of his father. Jun Yihuan firmly believes that things will be even better in his own hands!
