After regaining the military power of the Ye family, Jun Zechen began to train troops in various cities of the Jun Kingdom, and even went to the military camp to train in person. He was ready to go to the battlefield himself, and he wanted to be an emperor on horseback in this life.

Because deep down in Jun Zechen's heart, he doesn't want to face the current palace.

The second year of Chongwu.

Jun Zechen led his army to attack Canglang fiercely. Relying on his memories from his previous life, he was unstoppable all the way. After half a year, he finally reached the Canglang Imperial City.

Just like in the previous life, he saved his cousin Qi Wanyin.

Jun Zechen was not very impressed with his cousin. He casually sent someone to escort her back to the capital, then continued to lead his army south to attack Yuehui and Lingyu, and then headed west all the way to Yuelin Kingdom.

Jun Zechen's personal expedition took longer this time than in his previous life. In his previous life, he only personally attacked the most difficult Canglang, and he arranged trusted soldiers to lead the troops for other small countries.

However, in this life, he spent three years personally recovering all the countries adjacent to the monarchy and changing the monarchy into the Great Monarch Dynasty.

During these three years, the Queen Mother and the ministers in the court had pleaded with him to return to the court more than once, but Jun Zechen seemed to be addicted to killing on the battlefield.

The pervasive blood and cruel killings allowed him to temporarily forget the pain in his heart.

However, the war will eventually end.

In the third year of Chongwu, Jun Zechen led his troops back in triumph.

The people were waiting at the city gate early in the morning. Jun Zechen was wearing armor, which was shining coldly under the sunlight.

His face was stern, like an iceberg, making people dare not approach him easily. The murderous aura emanating from his body was even more frightening. Sitting high on his warhorse, his posture was upright, like the god of war descending, majestic and awe-inspiring.

After returning to the palace, the Queen Mother and the concubines were waiting there early to welcome His Majesty.

At the main entrance of the palace, a red carpet was laid out, flags were flying, the palace guard of honor was arranged in an orderly manner, drums and music were playing, and the scene was extremely grand and magnificent.

The palace maids and eunuchs stood with their heads bowed, respectful and solemn.

During these three years, Tang Suxi gave birth to the second prince and was promoted to noble concubine by the empress dowager. Lin Miaoyin gave birth to the third prince and was promoted to noble concubine by the empress dowager, with the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Lin Miaoyin looked at His Majesty whom she hadn't seen for three years, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she felt deeply moved.

Your Majesty has never met her third prince in three years. Shouldn’t Your Majesty have forgotten about the queen?

Lin Miaoyin's eyes were full of tenderness and her gaze was like water. She looked at Jun Zechen with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, trying to show her most beautiful side.

The moment Jun Zechen dismounted from his horse, all the court officials and guards knelt down and shouted in unison, as if they had been trained long ago.

"Your Majesty is a mighty and powerful man. You have personally led an expedition and returned victoriously, defeating the enemy thousands of miles away and bringing glory to our country. You are unrivaled in history and modern times. Long live Your Majesty!"

The sound was like a huge bell, resounding through the sky and deafening.

As the court officials were paying their respects, Jun Zechen walked towards the Queen Mother.

The armor added to his majesty.

The six concubines were nervous and expectant. After not seeing His Majesty for three years, he looked even more majestic and handsome.

He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a resolute face, but the strong murderous and ruthless aura he exuded made people feel awe.

They also greeted him one after another, their voices soft but in unison: "Long live His Majesty."

Jun Zechen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Stand up."

Walking up to the Queen Mother, Jun Zechen bowed respectfully to her and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Mother."

Although the empress dowager was unhappy that the emperor had been away at war for three years without regard for his own safety, she was still relieved to see her son, whom she had not seen for a long time, return safely.

"It's good to be back."

The three-year-old eldest prince Jun Yihuan stood quietly beside the empress dowager. His little face was tense and his expression was cold beyond his age. His dark eyes looked straight at his father.

Something doesn't feel right.

On the day Jun Yihuan was born, he was secretly thankful that he was lucky enough to be the queen mother's son again in this life.

However, he was just born and still unable to speak, but he learned the sad news of his mother's death from his Aunt Miaoyun who took care of him.

At that moment, he was filled with shock and disbelief.

My father loved my mother so much, and she was so smart, how could she die like this!

But before he grew up to find out the truth, his father resolutely went to war.

This world seems to have many similarities with his previous life, but there are also too many completely different differences.

Today, Jun Yihuan looked at his tall and cold father, who looked both like and unlike his father in his previous life.

In his previous life, the emperor was only cold on the surface, but now he is so cold that he looks like he wants to kill someone.

Jun Zechen felt Jun Yihuan's focused gaze, and his indifferent eyes slowly moved downwards. As soon as he saw Jun Yihuan's face, he was instantly as if he was cast under a spell, staring at him intently, unable to move away.

These eyebrows, this expression, how could they be so similar to hers.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

Jun Yihuan stared at his father with his big eyes without blinking, his little face still tense. Although he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he still walked towards his father and raised his little hand to place it on Jun Zechen's big hand.

My father failed to protect my mother in this life. He is so useless.

The Queen Mother and her son showed different emotions, and a loving smile appeared on their faces.

"Emperor, this is the eldest prince. He has been smart since he was young and has your demeanor. Yihuan, call him father."

The Queen Mother's voice was gentle and kind.

In addition to spending a lot of time in Kunning Palace, another place Jun Yihuan often went to was Cining Palace. After his mother died in this life, the Empress Dowager loved him very much and would call him to Cining Palace every few days to play with him and tell him stories.

Therefore, Jun Yihuan couldn't refuse the Empress Dowager's face, so he pursed his lips and said crisply, "Father."
