About half an hour after Mu Beichen left, Xiao Mohan and Xiang Xing rode into the city together on horseback. The wind was strong and snowflakes were falling intermittently, making them feel chilly. Xiang Xing couldn't bear it as soon as she put her feet down and hugged herself, shivering. "Beicheng is so big, where should we go to find the Empress? Maybe... we should go to the Empress's house first."
"Such a harsh and cold place, could this be Her Majesty's hometown? My master mentioned it before, but I just took it as a joke..." Xiao Mohan put his hands on his hips, looked around the street, and when he saw the North City, which was so different from the pleasant capital city, he couldn't help but show a disappointed look. "Alas! It's really unbelievable!"
"Xiao Mohan, you really are an ignorant country bumpkin!" Xiang Xing glanced at him from the side and snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, there's nothing to be surprised about. The Empress was born into a military family and is naturally not someone that just anyone can compare to. Otherwise, would your master be so devoted to her?"
"Let's not talk about that now. Finding our master is the most important thing." Xiao Mohan felt somewhat guilty and quickly changed the subject. The two walked one after the other on the street without saying anything more.
Just as Xiao Mohan was about to ask someone for directions, he saw a large crowd gathered not far away. From a distance, he could hear the commotion, with women screaming in a frenzy and children crying and shouting pitifully.
He turned his head and met Xiangxing's eyes. They understood each other perfectly in a glance. They hadn't noticed that Yu Qianqian was there, and they certainly didn't expect that the person being watched by everyone was so unexpected.
Upon hearing a familiar voice, Xiao Mohan didn't hesitate for a moment. He used brute force to push through the dense crowd and rushed to the front, where he was surprised to see a touching scene of a loving mother and filial son. It looked perfectly natural, except that the child's appearance and mannerisms looked like a miniature version of Yu Qianqian.
Xiao Mohan stood there stunned for a moment before slowly recovering. He took a few steps forward cautiously and leaned close to Yu Qianqian's ear: "Madam, may I ask... what exactly is going on?"
"Does this even need asking? Can't you see for yourself?!" Yu Qianqian had been waiting for ages and hadn't seen him do anything, and she was about to go crazy with anger. "Xiao Mohan, hurry up and throw this little devil away for me, I... I really can't take it anymore!"
He was so focused on staring at Yu Linlang that he didn't notice the tearful expression on Yu Qianqian's face. It wasn't until she couldn't help but scream and yell that he suddenly realized what was going on. His expression changed abruptly, and he grabbed Yu Linlang and threw her aside.
Xiangxing was stopped outside the crowd. When she heard Yu Qianqian's voice coming from inside, she panicked and shouted in the same voice, "Madam, this servant will go back to the manor and ask the master to come over!"
Yu Qianqian was too busy to listen carefully to Xiang Xing's voice. She had Xiao Mohan clear the way for her. After finally emerging from the throng, she hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when someone behind her suddenly shouted, "These two are shameless! They actually ganged up to bully a poor, helpless child! This kind of shameless behavior is simply outrageous! We have the numbers, and we'll definitely teach these two scoundrels a lesson today!"
