"Mom, let's go back to Gan Country together." Ruanruan grabbed Xiao Qingmu's hand and said.
"good."
Zhao Chengqian brought the vase over and placed it in front of Xiao Qingmu. The two children held hands and murmured a few words, "Pingping, take us and Ruanruan's parents to the country."
As soon as these words were spoken, bright light came out of the vase, and the two adults and two children disappeared.
At this time, Xiao Dinghan and the emperor were discussing matters in the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony after leaving the court.
"In the Qingmu matter, it is indeed my Xiao family that wronged Prince Jin. Our Xiao family will do our best to make it up to Prince Jin." Xiao Dinghan raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he spoke in a softer voice than usual and his attitude towards the emperor was also softer.
“However, now that Su Qiaoer has been brought to justice and the palace is now peaceful, shouldn’t Your Majesty soften up and return to my Xiao Palace?
”
The emperor looked up at him, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "My words don't count. Only when you say it softly will it count."
"I can't make this decision for Ruanruan."
Xiao Dinghan curled his lips, "Ruanruan is my granddaughter, and Prince Xiao's Mansion is her home. Why should she disagree?"
"I don't know about that. I am still Ruanruan's godfather, and my son Zhao Qian is still her godfather. Why can't she live in the palace?" The emperor felt a little dissatisfied when he heard him say this arrogantly, and retorted.
His son had been wronged by the Xiao family for so long, and had even been demoted to Qingzhou in order to appease the Xiao family's anger. Could this be solved with just a few words of compensation?
There is also Xiao Dinghan's granddaughter, who adopted Qian'er as her goddaughter.
Xiao Dinghan couldn't even protect his own daughter, and yet he wanted to snatch his granddaughter from him.
"Ruanruan is not only your granddaughter, nor is she just my goddaughter. She is also the savior of the entire Gan Kingdom. Her safety is related to the survival of the entire Gan Kingdom. Can your Xiao Palace protect Ruanruan?"
"Why is it not possible? I have so many guards, soldiers and even secret guards in Prince Xiao's Mansion." Xiao Dinghan said when he heard this.
"If you could really protect her, why didn't you find out that your daughter was poisoned by Su Qiaoer? There must not be any accidents in Ruanruan's matter!" said the emperor.
Xiao Dinghan was a little annoyed by his relentless attitude, and his anger was rising. "Okay, since the emperor has handed the person over, then I will go find Ruanruan myself."
"You are rebelling! Xiao Dinghan, who is the emperor, me or you?" The emperor angrily grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it to the ground.
Just as the two were arguing, the vase lit up.
Ruanruan, Zhao Chengqian and others appeared beside the two of them.
"What are you doing?" Ruanruan looked at them eagerly and asked.
Xiao Dinghan and the emperor glanced sideways at Ruanruan, and glanced at the man and woman beside Ruanruan. The man looked handsome like a pretty boy. He was pushing a chair with a woman sitting on it. The woman looked very familiar and was smiling at them.
The two of them were a little unresponsive for a moment.
"Mu'er?" Xiao Dinghan was stunned as he looked at his daughter who had just woken up.
"Dad." Xiao Qingmu's eyes turned red for a moment as he looked at Xiao Dinghan, and his lips slightly opened.
Xiao Dinghan walked over quickly, hugged his daughter, and touched her head. With red eyes, he said, "Are you really awake? Dad is not dreaming, is he?"
"No, no, my mother really woke up." Ruanruan explained from the side.
Xiao Qingmu glanced at her and burst into laughter while crying, "Yes, thanks to our Ruanruan's superb medical skills, she saved mom."
"What is this?" Xiao Dinghan glanced at Ruan Qichuan and already had some guesses in his mind.
"This is Ruan Qichuan. He is my daughter's husband over there. When my daughter showed up there alone, he saved her and helped her."
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to come back. I'm willing to marry him, and I hope you can fulfill my wish." Xiao Qingmu said.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will take good care of Mu'er over there." Ruan Qichuan promised loudly.
Xiao Ding sneered coldly, "You and my daughter have never been married in front of me, let alone here, so how can we be considered married? I can't bear to be called father-in-law."
"Dad..." Xiao Qingmu tugged at Xiao Dinghan's sleeve.
Xiao Dinghan angrily said, "My good daughter, the darling I cherished from childhood, went to a strange place, hasn't been home for several years, and suddenly got married and had children. How can I bear it?"
"How do you expect your father to treat him well?"
"But it's not Qi Chuan's fault. My daughter married him voluntarily..." Xiao Qingmu wanted to continue.
Ruan Qichuan held her hand and said, "It's okay, I can wait."
The emperor glanced at Xiao Dinghan and said, "Alright, you're already so old, and they're a happy young couple. It's useless for you to disagree."
The old man Xiao Dinghan was not targeting Ruan Qichuan on purpose. He was probably just upset. His daughter had disappeared for so many years and suddenly got married and had children. No one would feel good about it.
Ruan Qichuan is Ruanruan's biological father and a well-known figure in that world. Now the whole country looks up to him and Ruanruan.
What else does Xiao Dinghan disagree with?
"Father-in-law, we came here today not only to bring Mu'er to see you, but also to tell you and His Majesty some important things." Ruan Qichuan said.
Xiao Dinghan asked, "What do you want to say?"
Ruan Qichuan said, "Back then, Mu'er accidentally returned to the Kingdom of Gan because of the vase, and overheard that Prince Qing was colluding with the Northern Rong to slander the country, and that the Duke of Zhenguo was colluding with the enemy and committing treason..."
He told the whole story of Xiao Qingmu accidentally falling into the water and being poisoned by Prince Qing.
After hearing this, Xiao Dinghan frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Prince Qing is behind all this?"
Ruan Qichuan said, "Yes, according to what Mu'er said, it must be related to Prince Qing."
The emperor's face was gloomy. He looked up at Xiao Qingmu and said, "Xiao Qingmu, do you remember where you fell into the water?"
"I only remember that day, I appeared next to the rockery. There was a pavilion next to the rockery. Prince Qing and the others were talking in the grass next to the pavilion."
"Could it be in Prince Qing's Mansion?" asked the emperor.
Xiao Qingmu said, "That shouldn't be possible. I've been to Prince Qing's Mansion before, and the rockery there is very small."
The emperor asked again, "Could it be the Prince of Jin's Mansion? Isn't there another vase like this in the Prince of Jin's Mansion?"
"Perhaps it was Xiao Qingmu who was teleported to Prince Jin's Mansion by the vase at that time."
"It is indeed possible. Did Prince Jin's Mansion hold any banquet four years ago?" Xiao Dinghan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, when Yong'er was over a hundred days old, my father was sent by the emperor to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief. Only my mother was in the palace to hold a hundred-day banquet for Yong'er and invited many dignitaries in the capital. Uncle Prince Qing should have come as well." Zhao Chengqian said as he thought of something.
