The palace servants dared not approach the Fire Phoenix, for in their hearts it was sacred and inviolable; they could only watch from a distance.
Seeing so many people on the back of the fire phoenix, the palace servants were all filled with curiosity.
"Why are there so many people? Judging from their clothes, they don't seem to be from Xiliang!"
"Who are they? How dare they ride the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast? Isn't the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast only for the Empress?"
"Didn't you see the Queen's close attendant, Miss Jinzhu, up there? She must have been sent by the Queen's Vermilion Bird divine beast to pick her up."
“Did you see that young girl? She looks…” A palace attendant stared at Su Xuening’s face, speechless with astonishment.
“Exactly the same as the Empress!” Another palace attendant chimed in, equally shocked.
Suddenly, all the palace servants turned to look at Su Xuening.
She really looks exactly like the Empress. If it weren't for the fact that she's younger and her clothes don't look like those of Xiliang, they would definitely think she is the Empress!
She looks even more like an empress than the King of Hui!
As the palace servants watched, they noticed the little boy next to Su Xuening, and everyone showed expressions of shock once again.
"That child..."
"And she looks exactly like the Empress!"
"My God, where did all these people come from? Why do they all look so much like the Empress?"
"The Empress has arrived!" Just as the palace attendants were watching Su Xuening and her companions from afar, they heard a palace attendant announce.
The palace servants immediately knelt down to greet the Empress.
Su Xuening and the others also looked at the palace.
Soon, Mu Junyu walked out of the palace in a bright yellow phoenix robe, followed by a group of palace servants.
It was only when Su Xuening saw Mu Junyu wearing that bright yellow phoenix robe that she truly realized that her mother was indeed the Empress of Western Liang!
"Mother!" Before Mu Junyu could even see Su Xuening and the others clearly, Su Yun'an excitedly jumped off the back of the fire phoenix and rushed into Mu Junyu's arms like a little cannonball.
"How dare you!" The palace servants behind Mu Junyu shouted angrily when they saw Su Yun'an being so rude.
Everyone ignored the word "mother" that Su Yun'an uttered.
Su Yun'an didn't care how the palace servants scolded him. He held Mu Junyu tightly, nuzzling her gently in his arms, refusing to let go.
Mu Junyu lowered her eyes and looked at Su Yun'an's face, which was exactly the same as hers. Her sharp eyebrows and eyes softened instantly.
"How dare you!" The palace attendant next to him saw that Su Yun'an dared to hug Mu Junyu like this, so he tried to step forward and pull Su Yun'an away.
Mu Junyu raised her hand to stop them from pulling the person forward: "Step back."
"Yes." Mu Junyu spoke, and the palace servants dared not step forward to pull her anymore, and could only retreat behind Mu Junyu.
However, they all looked curiously at Su Yun'an, who was nestled in Mu Junyu's arms.
Who exactly is this child?
They dared to hug their empress like that, and most importantly, the empress let him hug her and wouldn't allow them to do anything.
"Mother, Yun'an knew you wouldn't abandon Yun'an and her sister. We've finally seen you! Yun'an missed you so much!" Su Yun'an didn't care about anything else. She hugged Mu Junyu and raised her head to express her longing.
This time, everyone heard Su Yun'an call out "Mother".
Whether they were standing behind Mu Junyu or kneeling on the ground, all the palace servants looked at each other in utter shock.
What did they hear?
This child is calling the Queen Mother?
Is he the Queen's child? Is he a prince?
How could this be? The Queen has had no other children besides the eldest princess all these years. Where did this child come from?
But if he wasn't the Queen's child, how could he look so much like her?
And who is the woman on the back of the Vermilion Bird that looks exactly like the Empress?
Mu Junyu naturally wouldn't explain anything to these palace servants. Looking at Su Yun'an's eyes full of longing and affection, her heart couldn't help but soften, and she couldn't help but reach out and rub Su Yun'an's head: "Was the journey smooth?"
Su Yun'an nodded subconsciously: "The Fire Phoenix is very powerful. It saved us, but things didn't go smoothly for us either. My sister went into labor on the way here and gave birth prematurely."
Upon hearing this, Mu Junyu looked up at the back of the Fire Phoenix and saw Su Xuening sitting weakly on it, holding a child in her arms.
Mu Junyu frowned, looking surprised.
She looks like she just gave birth; did she actually go into premature labor on the way here?
Thinking about how dangerous it was, Mu Junyu felt a wave of fear and regret.
If she had known she was about to give birth, she should have waited longer to have Huo'er pick her up. But given the current situation in Xiliang, she really couldn't wait any longer.
Fortunately, they were willing to come to Xiliang.
Seeing Mu Junyu looking at her, Su Xuening had Jinzhu and Bai Shi help her down from the Fire Phoenix.
"Mother." Su Xuening dismounted from the Fire Phoenix and was about to bow to Mu Junyu while holding her child when Mu Junyu quickly stopped her, saying, "Since you have just given birth, there is no need for such formalities."
"Let's go into the main hall first." Before Su Xuening could introduce Bai Shi and Pei Luo to her, Mu Junyu picked Su Xuening up in her arms.
Su Xuening stared at Mu Junyu in astonishment, seemingly not expecting her to be so strong.
Back when we were in the General's Mansion, my mother was always very gentle and weak in front of my father. It should be said that my father portrayed my mother as very gentle and weak. He couldn't bear to let my mother do anything, let alone physical labor like this.
However, considering that her mother was the Empress of Western Liang, and perhaps her martial arts skills were also very powerful, carrying her should be no problem.
Su Xuening's thinking was correct. Mu Junyu did indeed know martial arts, and her skills were quite good, so carrying Su Xuening was no problem at all, even though Su Xuening had a little one in her arms.
Mu Junyu picked up Su Xuening and looked at Huo Feng: "Huo'er, you did a good job, you can go and rest now."
"Chirp!" The fire phoenix seemed to understand Mu Junyu's praise and happily raised its head to let out a long chirp.
As Mu Junyu spoke, she looked at Bai Shi and Pei Luo and said, "Let's go into the hall first and then talk."
As Mu Junyu spoke, she first carried Su Xuening back to her palace.
Needless to say, Su Yun'an also happily followed along.
He had finally managed to see his mother, so he had to stay by her side every step of the way!
Pei Luo and the others really didn't expect Mu Junyu to be in this state. It can be said that Mu Junyu, who is now wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, is completely different from the woman who looked like a rag doll that they rescued in the bamboo forest.
She still looks the same, but her temperament has changed!
Mu Junyu now looks exactly like an empress!
Jinzhu bowed to Bai Shi and the others, saying, "Your Highness, Master, please enter the palace first."
Bai Shi and Pei Luo nodded, disembarked from the Fire Phoenix, and followed them into the hall.
Although they didn't know what awaited them in the Western Liang Imperial Palace, they decided to make the best of it since they were already there.
