Mo Xiao finished the porridge and side dishes in a few bites, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, then stood up and walked out.

Qiuyue followed behind him, opened her mouth, but swallowed her words.

Your Majesty looks not much different from the soldiers outside.

Mo Xiao was walking and eating a steamed bun in his hand, and asked Lu An beside him: "Have you eaten yet?"

Lu An nodded: "I have eaten, thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao hummed and said nothing more.

Lu An glanced at him, and for a moment he was in a trance, as if the person standing in front of him was not the emperor who killed his entire family, but his brother-in-law. Such an ordinary greeting was natural, just like a family.

But Lu An quickly came to his senses.

He and Mo Xiao had the most interactions during this period. He would stay at the border forever for the rest of his life and would never return to the capital.

He had to live up to his parents and relatives and could not be close to the murderer who killed them. But he also had to live up to his conscience and could not kill the murderer to avenge his family. So, he could only exile himself and live in a distant border with another identity.

Mo Xiao took a few steps and asked, "Where's General Chen?"

Lu An was silent for a moment, then said, "He went to the east early in the morning, saying that he wanted to see the maids that His Majesty brought with him."

Mo Xiao: "..."

He turned around and followed to the east. When he arrived, he saw the female soldiers moving a chair and placing it there for Chen Yuan to sit on.

Opposite Chen Yuan, there were prisoner cars lined up in a row, which contained the envoys that Mo Xiao brought from the capital. At first, these envoys were still shouting with their necks stiff, as arrogant as they could be, but when they arrived at the border, they finally became afraid, and they all huddled in the corners of the prison cars, with a depressed spirit.

One of the prisoner cars was different from the others because it was bigger and had a layer of soft bedding inside. At the same time, it was wrapped with a thick layer of iron chains to prevent the people inside from escaping and to prevent people outside from hijacking the car. Inside the prisoner car was not an envoy, but a woman dressed in palace maid's clothes. This woman was different from ordinary women. She was exceptionally tall.

At this time, the person had her hair disheveled and was leaning casually on the prison van with her legs wide apart, without any sign of a woman at all.

Chen Yuan also held a steamed bun in her hand. She took a bite and swallowed it. Then she said to the female soldiers beside her, "She is so ugly, but she can enter the palace and become a maid?"

The female soldier's mouth twitched but she said nothing.

She saw at first glance that the person in the prison van was not a woman at all, but a man dressed as a woman, a real man.

However, since Your Majesty has said that she was a palace maid, then this person can only be a palace maid.

Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with disdain: "Those good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Internal Affairs send everything to the palace. They are such good-for-nothings."

Mo Xiao happened to hear this, coughed lightly, and said to Chen Yuan: "You have a lot of complaints about my Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Chen Yuan turned around and glanced at him. In front of everyone, he still gave Mo Xiao enough face and stood up to salute: "Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Get up."

He walked over and stood in front of the prison van, glanced at Tuoba Xuan in the van, and then looked at Chen Yuan: "Is it ugly?"

Chen Yuan sneered: "Why, Your Majesty thinks it looks good?"

Mo Xiao: "Isn't this good?"

"Since you think he's a good person, why don't you keep him and make him your consort?"

"..."

Mo Xiao's mouth twitched: "Don't joke."
