After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Soon the day of departure came, and Li Youwei and Nalan Ling said goodbye to the soldiers in Beiguan City and embarked on their return journey.

The further south we go, the warmer it becomes, and the speed of our journey becomes faster.

By the time Li You returned to the capital, it was already March.

In March, the grass grows and orioles fly, and the breath of life is everywhere.

Li Youwei and Nalan Ling took the Queen Mother directly into the palace. The eldest princess had already received the flying pigeon letter from Li Youwei and was already waiting at the palace gate.

When she saw the woman being helped out of the carriage by Li Youwei, her eyes heated up and she trotted up to meet her.

"Mother."

This initial consonant contains too much longing, pain and sadness.

Queen Mother Miaoyin also felt very uncomfortable. She raised her hand and touched the eldest princess's face.

"Shanshan, you have lost weight."

"Mother, Shanshan has not lost weight, I just miss you so much."

"Okay, we will never be separated again. Let's go to the palace."

Along the way, Li Youwei had already told Queen Mother Miaoyin about the current situation of Nanchen Kingdom, and she had a rough idea.

The eldest son is a weak king who cannot be supported, and the younger son is ambitious and does not hesitate to sacrifice others in order to achieve his own goals.

She was very disappointed with both of them, and only hoped that when she came back, she could give Nanchen Kingdom a clear sky.

"Well, Queen Mother, I will support you."

As soon as Li Youwei and others entered the palace, Prince Rui hurried over.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Nanchen was correcting the memorial while waiting for Li Youwei to return.

"Dong dong dong, Your Majesty, Vice General Li and others are here." The eunuch's respectful and surprised voice sounded outside the door.

"come in."

Emperor Nanchen did not listen carefully, his eyes still fell on an unfolded memorial.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Emperor Nan Chen looked up at the door this time.

When he saw the people gathered in the middle, he was stunned, "Mother? Mother."

Emperor Nanchen hurriedly stood up and walked around from behind the table. He took a few steps to the Queen Mother Miaoyin, knelt down with a plop, and began to kowtow without any explanation.

Nanchen Emperor Huangfu Weicheng was not good at anything, but his filial piety to the Queen Mother Miaoyin was not fake.

Empress Dowager Miaoyin looked down at Emperor Nanchen, and after he kowtowed for more than a dozen times, she asked him to get up.

"Mother, where have you been all these years? It's so hard for me to find you."

Emperor Nan Chen had blood on his forehead, but he didn't care at all.

"The Ai family was jointly captured and taken to Beiliang. If it hadn't been for Vice General Li and Princess An Ning, they would have died there."

Only then did Emperor Nan Chen notice that Nalan Ling had also returned.

"Mother, don't worry, my sons and ministers will definitely reward them generously."

"Your Majesty, Vice General Li and the others not only rescued the Ai family, but also signed a ten-year truce with Beiliang. How should we reward them for such a great contribution?"

Queen Mother Miaoyin has recognized Li Youwei, and she will vigorously support her growth.

"The Queen Mother is right. How about I make her the third-grade General Anbei?"

"It's up to the Emperor to decide. Princess An Ning also deserves a lot of credit for being able to sign a ten-year truce this time."

"How about I reward her with a manor in the suburbs?"

"The Emperor is interested."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was satisfied, Emperor Nanchen asked about the doubts in his heart.

"General Li, how was the ten-year truce signed?"

Li Youwei once again told the story about the changes in Beiliang Kingdom, and Emperor Nanchen frowned upon hearing this.

He had dealt with the former Northern Liang Emperor, and he could not help but worry about his own throne when someone so shrewd could be deprived of the throne so easily.

Prince Rui is the biggest threat. If he wants to take it away, he won't be able to keep it.

"Dong dong dong, Your Majesty, can I, my concubine, come in?" The queen couldn't hide her excitement in her voice.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the queen excitedly crossed the threshold and saw the people surrounded in the middle. She walked a few steps quickly and knelt down in front of Queen Mother Miaoyin, "Auntie, my niece misses you so much."

Queen Mother Miaoyin bent down and helped the queen up, "It's a good thing that the Ai family is back. You have to laugh."

"Uh-huh."

Li Youwei and Nalan Ling looked at each other and then excused themselves very wisely.

As soon as he left the royal study, he met Prince Rui.

Different from the gentle and polite person in the past, Prince Rui exuded a cold and cold atmosphere.

The two of them saluted respectfully. Prince Rui just nodded slightly and entered the imperial study without looking back.

"You Wei, judging from Prince Rui's appearance, he must hate us."

For people like Prince Rui, if they fail to win over him, they may have no choice but to kill him.

"The Queen Mother is back. He doesn't dare to make any big moves at the moment. Let's go."

"Ah."

Li Youwei first sent Nalan Ling back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report that her parents were safe.

The prime minister and his wife thought they would never see their daughter again, but now not only has her daughter come back, but she has also received a reward. They all thought they were dreaming.

While they were happy, they were also more grateful to Li Youwei. They knew in their hearts that if she hadn't protected them all the way, their Ling'er would have died long ago.

Li Youwei did not go back to Li Mansion, but went to the library of Hongru Academy.

Liu Xi was still lying on the steps basking in the sun, lazily holding a piece of grass hair in the corner of his mouth, "I'm back."

"Master, this is my tribute to you."

Li Youwei handed over the roast chicken and fine wine he had brought.

Liu Xi accepted it with a smile, "My disciple must be filial."

Liu Xi directly opened the mud seal and took a big sip. He was very satisfied with the wine and the meat.

"Tell me what happened in Beiliang Kingdom."

"Yes, Master."

Li Youwei told how he helped Hu Erdan win the throne and how to find the Queen Mother Miaoyin.

After hearing this, Liu Xi clapped his thigh excitedly.

"Did you really find the Queen Mother Miaoyin?"

"Yes, Master, Queen Mother Miaoyin was really captured by the then-Prince of Beiliang Kingdom."

"Then did the Queen Mother tell you who the spy in Nanchen Kingdom is?"

It is easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows, and the evildoers in Nanchen Kingdom are the most hateful.

"The Queen Mother said she didn't know."

In fact, the Queen Mother also had speculations in her mind, but naming that person without evidence would easily alert the enemy.

"That's it."

"Master, did anything happen in the academy while I was gone?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the dean has eliminated all the moths in Hongru Academy."

"This is a great thing. Hongru Academy will get better and better."

"That's true. By the way, when will you move out of the Li family?"

Li Youwei has now been awarded the title of Third-Rank Anbei General and can have his own mansion.

"I plan to live in the Princess's Mansion first and then move there when the mansion is built."

"Well, the Li family is getting more and more turbulent, so it's better to go back less often."

"Master said that I need to go back to pick up something today."

Liu Xi waved his hand, "Go."

Li Youwei said goodbye to Liu Xi. She went to visit the dean, Master Zhang and others, and then rode back to Li's house.

As soon as I stepped through the door of Li's house, I heard the noise inside.

"You vixen, I asked you to seduce the master, and I will fight you."
