Chapter 115 Going home

He couldn't help but start to wonder if she had inadvertently felt Xihe's pulse one of the times he was holding her in his arms and discovered something.

Ever since he knew Xihe's true identity, the eyes of the woman downstairs that seemed to see through everything had been imprinted in Xiao Mingxuan's heart, and he couldn't get rid of them. Now the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Really not necessary?" Xihe didn't mean to force it, but asked again.

Xiao Mingxuan looked at the clear eyes of the little girl and couldn't help but start to doubt whether he was overthinking. The two thoughts were madly pulling in his head, as if they were going to tear him apart. "Really, there's no need."

Seeing this, Xihe did not insist any longer, but waved his hand, as if he had just asked casually.

"Brother, let's go eat, I'm hungry~"

"it is good."

Since the last time, Xiao Mingxuan seemed to be trying to avoid Xihe. Every time Xihe went there, nine times out of ten he would end up empty-handed.

This situation continued until the end of the study tour and the departure for the National Academy.

The journey lasted more than three months, and it was still mid-to-late June when Xihe returned to the imperial city.

"Daddy! I'm back~"

As soon as the team entered the imperial city, the roads were lined with people who were rushing to watch the excitement. Xihe saw Emperor Jingyuan waiting on the city wall from afar and waved to him hurriedly.

The smile on Emperor Jingyuan's lips became more and more obvious, and he raised his leg to go downstairs to meet someone.

Sanping said at the side: "Oh, it seems that the little princess misses your majesty very much."

Emperor Jingyuan was very happy in his heart, but pretended not to care on the surface, "Of course my child misses me."

Sanping served by the side, but smiled and said nothing.

"Daddy~" Xihe jumped off the carriage and ran towards Emperor Jingyuan.

Emperor Jingyuan bent down to take the person, held him in his hands and weighed him twice, "It seems that he has really suffered a lot, and he has lost so much weight."

"Daddy, has he prepared what I like to eat?" The food in Jiangnan is different from that in the imperial city. Xihe could never get used to it and missed the delicacies made in the imperial kitchen in the imperial city very much.

"The imperial concubine is probably already prepared and is just waiting for you to come back." The spy sent by Emperor Jingyuan said that the team would arrive around noon. Emperor Jingyuan guessed that his little daughter's stomach must have been growling with hunger, so he had her favorite food prepared early so that she could enjoy it as soon as she returned.

"Great, Daddy is the best~" Xihe went up and kissed Emperor Jingyuan, which made Emperor Jingyuan very happy.

Zhao Chengning suddenly came over from the other end of the reception line. "Didn't someone say I was the best a month ago? Why did he change his mind now?"

Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan was in a good mood, Zhao Chengning became bolder and even dared to tease his father.

"Oh, can't it be all? One or two is not too many~" Xihe has the potential to be a scumbag woman, and she said this without even taking a breath.

Zhao Chengning immediately looked heartbroken, pretending to be very real, "After all, I can't compare to my father. It hurts."

Emperor Jingyuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Chengning and stressed, "I am your father. Who do you want to compete with?"

"Your Majesty is wise. I dare not do that." Zhao Chengning retreated bravely and slid to his knees quickly.

Xihe almost went crazy with joy in Emperor Jingyuan's arms.

"Okay, let the people from the Ministry of Rites handle it. If they're here, let's go to the imperial concubine's place for dinner." Emperor Jingyuan gave a few instructions to the Minister of Rites and prepared to take the two children to the Fuhua Palace.

At this moment, the sky, which had been gloomy for half a day, suddenly cleared up, and infinite light suddenly emerged from the horizon. The colorful light burst out and filled the entire sky. A ray of golden light shot out from the layers of clouds, covering the three people standing together. Xihe reached out and caught one of the rays, just like when he was a child, and presented it to Emperor Jingyuan like offering a treasure, "Daddy, look, there is light again."

The light shone on his body and made him feel warm. Emperor Jingyuan looked at where it came from, smiling without saying a word.

This time it was even more grand than when Xihe just came out of the cold palace, and...

Emperor Jingyuan turned his head and glanced at his eldest son who had just grown up, and the pent-up irritability in his heart eased a little.

This was the first time Zhao Chengning had seen such a sight. He happened to be away from the palace when the divine light appeared last time, so he missed this wonderful sight. "Is this the divine light?"

"Yes, big brother, daddy and I have seen this once. Is the light coming towards you this time?" Xihe's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people nearby to hear clearly on the noisy Central Avenue.

Zhao Chengning was stunned for a moment, and when he saw his sister blinking her eyes, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

During the month since he returned to the imperial city, he has been investigating the affairs of the Anyuan Palace. As long as the truth has not come to light, there are always people talking about him behind his back, suspecting that he is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Life has been really hard.

Emperor Jingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "You idiot, where has your usual smartness gone?"

"I know I was wrong." Zhao Chengning knew that Emperor Jingyuan had no intention of blaming him, so he continued speaking.

Emperor Jingyuan looked at the light and had a bold idea in his mind. He held Xihe in one hand and Zhao Chengning in the other, and the three of them walked towards the tower.

The light seemed to have eyes, and it followed the three people wherever they went.

Emperor Jingyuan looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground under the city tower, and slowly said: "God is kind and has blessed Tianshuo! We should work hard and live up to God's grace."

"God's light descends from the sky, bless Tianshuo, and may he live forever!"

I don't know who shouted first, but the people were infected and all bowed down and praised.

The mountains and rivers are safe and the world is at peace.

Concubine Chen waited and waited but her baby did not come. Instead, she received news of divine light falling from the sky.

Hearing this, he just smiled.

Mu Yuan asked: "My lady, do you need me to ask someone to spread the word?"

She knew that Concubine Chen was worried about the eldest prince's reputation, and she should make good use of such a good opportunity.

Who would dare to accuse a prince who is illuminated by divine light of collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country? Isn't this an insult to gods and Buddhas?

"Why would we be needed there?" Imperial Concubine Chen was in high spirits. Now that even the last worry had been solved, she was even more energetic. "So many people on Central Avenue saw it. If it spreads from one person to ten, then ten to a hundred. I guess the whole Imperial City will know about it by this time tomorrow."

"Your Majesty is right. I was overthinking it." Mu Yuan then stepped back.

"Oh, why haven't you come yet?" If Concubine Chen was not unable to leave the palace, she would probably have arrived at the foot of the imperial city by now.

As they were talking, the voice of their little daughter was heard from afar.

"Mom, I'm back~"

Concubine Chen took two quick steps and steadily caught Xihe who was running towards her.

"You're finally back. You've been gone for nearly half a year. I missed you so much." Concubine Chen hadn't seen her precious daughter for more than three months and was almost pining for her.

"Xihe misses her mother too, so she's back." Xihe smelled the familiar fragrance coming from Concubine Chen, closed her eyes with peace of mind, and spoke slowly while lying in Concubine Chen's arms.
