When she arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, Yun Qingluo saw Yun Zixie waiting by the carriage from afar. He waved excitedly when he saw her.
"It's freezing cold, why are you waiting here? I was wondering why I haven't seen you for so long," Yun Qingluo said with a smile as she walked up to Yun Zixie.
Yun Zixie smiled and said, "Father made me a bow and arrow. I've been at the training ground these past few days and just got back when I heard from Father that you were leaving. So, Father sent someone to the kitchen to pack some of your favorite dishes and asked me to bring them over."
Then, Yun Zixie put both food boxes into the carriage.
Yun Qingluo asked, "Do you want to come to the palace with me for a couple of days?"
Yun Zixie's eyes lit up, but he still refused. "I told my father before, and he said that I am an outsider and it is inconvenient for me to enter the palace. Once Mother is better, I will be able to accompany her to the palace to see you."
He really misses his two nephews and nieces. He's spent most of his time these past few days at the martial arts training ground and preparing gifts for them.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "It's up to you. Don't be too hateful. Be nice to your second brother. He's been in a bad mood lately, so don't make things worse."
Yun Zi nodded in agreement, "I will help him, don't worry, just wait for good news."
Yun Qingluo quickly grabbed his sleeve, "Don't cause trouble. Don't use your storybook plots in real life. As long as you don't make your second brother more unhappy, you'll already be doing a great favor."
Yun Zixie frowned slightly. Yun Qingluo tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that he was still eager to do so, she could only say helplessly, "How about this, you go find your eldest brother first and ask about the situation. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law definitely want to help your second brother. Discuss it with them and don't make decisions on your own."
After finishing her speech, Yun Qingluo gave Yun Zixie some more instructions before getting into her carriage and leaving.
When Yun Qingluo returned to the palace, Mo Junye took the initiative to ask about Yin Yi.
"Mother, when is Grandpa Yin coming back?" Mo Junye asked.
Yun Qingluo patted his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Mo Junye lowered his head and said, "The Grand Tutor's health is getting worse and worse. The imperial physician said that he should rest and recuperate, but the Grand Tutor insists on teaching me and will not go home until his replacement arrives."
"So you want Yin Yi to return to Beijing as soon as possible, right?" Yun Qingluo asked affectionately.
Mo Junye nodded.
“Good boy, but don’t rush. Traveling such a long distance and rushing too much can easily make you sick. We all want to see him healthy, right?” Yun Qingluo squatted down to explain to Mo Junye.
Mo Junye nodded again, and Yun Qingluo, seeing that he was still unhappy, asked, "What's wrong? Who upset my son?"
Mo Junye snorted, "I want to go to court with Father, but Father won't take me. Humph."
Just then, Mo Beichen returned from his bath and smiled slowly upon hearing this.
“Your father hopes you can be happy every day. Going to court and reading and writing are very boring. Your father hopes you will not have to deal with these things for a while,” Yun Qingluo explained.
Mo Junye asked, puzzled, "Is it boring? I think going to court is a very happy thing."
Yun Qingluo looked at Mo Beichen, surprised that her son loved studying so much.
Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow. "If you really like it, then I will take you to court tomorrow."
Mo Junye cheered, and seeing that Mo Junye was happy, Mo Zhiyuan also smiled foolishly.
Yun Qingluo carried the two little ones to the bed. "Alright, you two play with your father. Your mother is going to wash up."
Holy Sky Continent.
After the battle ended, Sheng Chuyi did not see Mo Beichen and the others, so he asked General Long.
"King Sumeru and the others have already returned to the capital. They said they missed their children at home too much, and since the war here is over, they wanted to go back ahead of schedule."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuyi felt somewhat annoyed, "I haven't properly thanked you yet; we have truly failed to provide adequate hospitality."
General Long comforted them, saying, "King Sumeru and Queen Sumeru are straightforward people. Their willingness to help is, in my opinion, to reduce the number of enemies in the future. We don't need to take it too seriously."
Sheng Chuyi disagreed with Long Tianque's statement.
"No matter what, they did help us in the end. If it weren't for their scheme, we wouldn't have been able to end the war so quickly. Our Holy Sky Continent will always remember this kindness. If they ever need our help in the future, we will definitely do our duty without hesitation."
Long Tianque laughed heartily, "Well said."
Sheng Chuyi was taken aback, and then realized what was happening. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. "General Long was just testing me, the Crown Prince."
Sheng Chuyi used a declarative sentence.
Long Tianque quickly explained, "This is our Emperor's will. As you know, our Emperor and the King of Sumeru are very close friends. Friends of the Sumeru Continent are naturally also friends of our Xuancang Continent."
This means that the Sumeru Continent has the Xuancang Continent backing it up, and anyone who still wants to die will face the fate of the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent.
Although Sheng Chuyi was shocked, he did not show it on his face. "General Long, please rest assured, the Sumeru Continent will also be a friend of our Holy Sky Continent in the future."
Long Tianque smiled kindly, "Alright, I will definitely report to the Emperor truthfully when I get back. The matter here is over, and I will lead the army back to the capital to report back."
Sheng Chuyi tried to persuade him to stay a few more times, but seeing that Long Tianque was in a hurry to return to the capital, he was curious about the reason but did not ask any further questions.
“In that case, I hope General Long has had a safe journey. Please inform King Xuancang that once we have quelled the internal strife here, we will definitely visit Xuancang to express our gratitude in person,” said Sheng Chuyi, clasping his hands in thanks to Long Tianque.
After a brief struggle, Long Tianque left.
"Give the order: immediately reorganize the troops. Tomorrow morning, the entire army will set off at top speed to return to the capital to report back." Long Tianque returned to his tent and hurriedly issued the order.
"What should be done with He Ming?" someone asked.
Long Tianque said coldly, "Send them back to the capital and let the Emperor decide their fate."
"He deserves to be torn to pieces. How dare he act as an enemy's inside man and do such a disgusting thing in order to take revenge on the army of the Sumeru Monarch. The Emperor will certainly not let him off easily."
"That's right. This person has disliked King Sumeru all along the way, and now he's even going so far as to try to harm him. He's simply overestimating himself."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and keep an eye on the army getting ready," Long Tianque said, looking annoyed.
Everyone noticed that Long Tianque was in a bad mood, and disappeared completely as soon as he finished speaking.
Long Tianque was very frustrated. The Emperor had privately instructed him to make sure the person was brought back to the capital safely. Now that the person was gone, although he had returned to the capital, he certainly wouldn't see the Emperor. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have left him a letter to pass on to the Emperor.
What if the Emperor gets angry when he finds out they didn't come back?
Oh well, at worst I'll just get a beating.
However, he wouldn't blame Mo Beichen and the others. They had been a great help this time, and their willingness to forgive and forget was truly admirable.
