Mo Chengning hung his head, feeling somewhat dejected. He pinched Lin Jiuqing's fingers and muttered, "When the emperor returns to the capital, mother, you must protect me more. Don't let the emperor really skin me alive."

He raised his head again and looked at Lin Jiuqing pitifully: "Mother, you are protecting me now, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

Lin Jiuqing tapped his head and said with amusement, "What are you talking about?"

After a pause, he continued, "Your father loves you, so he is not as cruel as you say."

Mo Chengning was raised by Mo Xiao himself. His devotion to Mo Chengning is beyond that of a mother, which is why Lin Jiuqing decided to take another gamble and return to the capital with Mo Xiao.

I'm afraid there is no man in this world who can do what Mo Xiao did, raising their children alone and teaching them so well.

Mo Chengning blinked and said softly, "I won't really skin me alive, but I will definitely not be able to escape if I lose a layer of skin."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and shook his head: "You, okay, okay, mother will protect you and won't let your father be too cruel to you."

Mo Chengning raised his head and smiled: "I know that mother loves me."

He helped Lin Jiuqing to sit aside, and then asked: "Is the letter that mother gave me really written by the emperor?"

The letter that Mo Chengning was talking about was the one that Mo Chengning took out in Yinghua Hall for the ministers to read.

This letter was not sent back to the palace through the court route, but was taken from Lin Jiuqing.

Mo Chengning took a quick glance and confirmed that the letter was written by his father. In addition, he trusted Lin Jiuqing, so he didn't think much about it and took out the letter to calm the chaos.

Now that he finally had some free time, Mo Chengning thought of asking about this matter.

Lin Jiuqing drank a sip of hot tea slowly, and then said: "That letter is of course true."

Mo Chengning raised his eyebrows: "The secret guards didn't find my father, how did you find him, mother?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly: "Everyone in the world is busy pursuing profits, and it just so happens that your mother is a businessman."

As long as a businessman has money, there is nothing he cannot do.

This letter was sent by caravan, then through government roads, and was delivered to the capital at full speed.

When Mo Chengning heard this, he immediately asked, "How is it going with Father?"

Lin Jiuqing said softly: "The war is over, and our family of three will be reunited before the New Year."

Royal Court.

Mo Xiao's white robe was stained with blood, and he held a knife that was still dripping with blood in his hand. He strode up the stairs and reached the top a moment later. He glanced around, and his eyes were so cold that they seemed like those of a living person. The people around him subconsciously lowered their heads and knelt on the ground.

Mo Xiao had a cold face and asked sternly, "Where's Chen Yuan?"

Someone nearby immediately said, "General Chen is waiting for Your Majesty in the hall now!"

Mo Xiao took a deep breath and pointed at the two soldiers who were originally following Chen Yuan: "If you continue to let her go like this, and something really happens, I want to see how you will explain it!"

After saying that, he strode towards the main hall.

Along the way, corpses piled up like mountains wherever they passed, and the entire ground was stained red with blood. With every step they took, they could feel an uncomfortable sticky feeling coming from the soles of their feet.

Tuoba Xuan followed Mo Xiao three steps behind. He was dressed in a brocade robe and his hair was neatly tied. He formed a sharp contrast with Mo Xiao in front of him, and was even more out of place in this royal court that was like hell on earth.

However, this royal court is clearly the place where he was born and raised.
