So Ni Yueshan asked for a carriage and went back to the Prince's Mansion.
Jing Yuchen had already received the news first and originally planned to go to the inn to pick someone up, but unexpectedly, Ni Yueshan was already at the gate.
He walked quickly forward and hugged Ni Yueshan in his arms. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and for a moment, neither of them was willing to let the other go.
"I thought you were captured by my father's men, but you managed to escape so cunningly. Now that I'm back in Xianchang, it's difficult for me to leave."
Even though he is now the prince again, there are spies everywhere, monitoring him and the entire prince's mansion.
"Let's go inside and talk first!" Ni Yueshan suggested. Jing Yuchen then let go of Ni Yueshan and followed Ni Yueshan into the mansion.
Qingdie was already dead. Ni Yueshan brought back only her ashes. She placed the ashes in Qingdie's room and looked at Jing Yuchen beside her: "We must avenge her."
"good."
Ni Yueshan lowered his eyes and said, "Qingfeng is currently recuperating in Canglie."
"Um."
Ni Yueshan raised her head, a trace of worry in her eyes: "Where's my father? Is the emperor treating him well?"
"Don't worry, the Prime Minister still has a certain influence in the court. The Emperor doesn't dare to do anything to the Prime Minister directly!"
Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go see my dad!"
Ni Yueshan had just prepared the carriage, but someone came from the palace and summoned Ni Yueshan into the palace!
Ni Yueshan turned to look at Jing Yuchen, but Jing Yuchen was looking at the palace maid, frowning and saying, "This prince will go with you!"
Inside the palace, Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen saluted politely. The emperor sat on a high seat. Because they were too far away, their expressions could not be seen clearly, but their awe-inspiring demeanor could be felt from afar.
An inexplicable sense of oppression descended, making the surrounding air somewhat stagnant and solemn.
"Crown Princess, where have you been all this time? I thought you had an accident. The Queen and I have already started choosing a new Crown Princess for the Crown Prince."
Although this wasn't an accusation, it didn't sound like a kind word at all...
"Father, now that I'm back, the Crown Princess doesn't need you and Mother to worry about her anymore. But who is Mother now?"
Ni Yueshan looked up at the emperor, her eyes truly confused.
The former queen has been deposed...
"Your aunt, the former Concubine Wan!" the emperor responded, his voice sounding very cold.
Ni Yueshan lowered his eyes. Before he could speak, Jing Yuchen spoke first, "Father, I wonder what you want to hear from Yueshan and me?"
The emperor chuckled softly, still sitting far away. "There was a war some time ago. Princess Gou Qiong and Le Cheng are still in Canglie, right? Crown Princess, you have the best relationship with them, so please speak up for me. I wonder what went wrong? Why are they unwilling to come back?"
"Also, the people of Canglie want to resume the war with me. Are they breaking the alliance? And what about that King Tufan? Why did he send an envoy to accuse me of stealing their gold mountain?"
The emperor is really pretending to be innocent...
Ni Yueshan's mouth twitched, feeling very embarrassed. "Father, if Cang Lie wanted to start a war, he wouldn't have signed the treaty in the first place. They must have a reason for going to war. Father, why don't you think about it yourself and find out why!"
He clearly knew it was his own doing, yet he was still pretending to be stupid.
Ni Yueshan's words did not spare the emperor any face. He did not get angry, but smiled: "Okay, since you know, there must be a reason. Then I hope you and the prince can share my worries and solve this problem for me!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. This difficult problem should be left to her and Jing Yuchen...
Jing Yuchen also frowned, then said, "Father, as the Crown Prince, even without your instructions, I will find a way to resolve this conflict for you. Please rest assured!"
Jing Yuchen's sincerity surprised both Ni Yueshan and the emperor. Although Ni Yueshan had doubts in her heart, she resisted the urge to ask and remained silent.
The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen with admiration: "Since the Crown Prince is so considerate of me, then I will place my hopes on you. Work hard and strive to resolve the stiff relationship as soon as possible! Then I will feel relieved!"
"Yes, I will do my best. I'll take my leave now!"
He glanced at Ni Yueshan, who stood up silently and walked out.
As soon as they left the palace, Ni Yueshan asked, "Why did you say that just now?"
"If the peace talks are left to me, I will have the opportunity to arrange for you to go to Canglie. After you leave, it will be convenient for me to leave Xianchang."
Ni Yueshan finally understood Jing Yuchen's motives.
Ni Yueshan took Jing Yuchen's hand and said with a smile: "Husband, if it is God's will for you and me to come back, then we should obey God's will!"
Ni Yueshan's words made Jing Yuchen feel that she had a hidden meaning.
"What do you want to do?" Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with a serious expression, wondering what Ni Yueshan wanted to do.
Ni Yueshan curled his lips into a smile, his eyes gleaming with coldness: "If it weren't for your father, how could Qingdie die? How could Qingfeng be injured?"
Jing Yuchen clearly felt the hatred coming out of Ni Yueshan.
He frowned, "Don't do anything stupid."
Ni Yueshan's eyes gradually became firm: "I will make him pay the price!"
Jing Yuchen knew that it was useless for him to persuade her. Ni Yueshan had made up her mind, so he had to obey Ni Yueshan.
The two were planning to go back to the Prince's Mansion together, but a palace maid came over and said, "Greetings to the Prince and Princess. The Queen has summoned the Princess!" Ni Yueshan turned her head and then looked at Jing Yuchen. This Queen was probably her aunt, Concubine Wan.
"lead the way!"
Jing Yuchen left the palace first, and Ni Yueshan was taken to the Queen's bedroom, Kunning Palace.
"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen!"
The moment Ni Yueshan saluted, Miao Qinghua immediately stepped forward and helped Ni Yueshan up, "No need to be so polite, Yueshan, get up quickly!"
Ni Yueshan chuckled softly, her expression filled with joy. "Auntie, I never thought you'd be the queen now. Auntie, you know, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you would become the mother of the country and a role model for women all over the world."
Ni Yueshan held Miao Qinghua's hand affectionately and looked very enthusiastic, which surprised Miao Qinghua. She did not struggle to break free from Ni Yueshan's hand, but just smiled slightly and let Ni Yueshan hold her hand.
"If it weren't for you, Yueshan, there wouldn't be my aunt today, so I'm very grateful to you. But you know I have no children!"
Ni Yueshan nodded: "Yes, I know, isn't there Empress Mei'e?"
