Tuoba Xuan pulled his mother to Mo Xiao and said softly, "Mother, this is... His Majesty."

His mother was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly widened.

She was originally a Han Chinese, but when she was young, she accidentally drifted to the royal court. Due to various reasons, she met Tuoba Xuan, which resulted in her never being able to return to her homeland. After so many years, she really never dreamed that she would be able to see people from her hometown, as well as the emperor.

She subconsciously wanted to kneel down and pay homage. As soon as she bent down, Mo Xiao lifted her arm and helped her up, saying gently, "Old Madam, there is no need to be so polite."

The woman was uneasy and stammered, "I...I am not an old lady. Your Majesty, you are too kind to me."

After she said this, she didn't know what to say and could only look at her son blankly and helplessly.

Tuoba Xuan patted his mother's arm soothingly, and looked up at Mo Xiao who was standing in front of him.

Mo Xiao glanced at Tuoba Xuan, put away his cold look, and said to Tuoba Xuan's mother in a very gentle manner: "You are originally a citizen of my court. You don't need to be nervous in front of me."

He paused and glanced at Tuoba Xuan: "Besides, your son is my friend, so you are naturally someone I respect."

"Friend?" The old woman looked at her son blankly, with disbelief in her eyes.

Because of her, her son, although he was the king's son and had the title of the second prince, had a lower status than those slaves. Even the groom in the backyard could boss the mother and son around.

She knew that her son was just making up the numbers on this diplomatic mission, and that Xuan'er would never be the one to make the final decision. But she never expected that her son would become friends with the emperor?

Tuoba Xuan looked at Mo Xiao deeply, then raised his hands to hug his mother and said softly: "Yes, I...I am a friend of Your Majesty, mother, don't be nervous."

Mo Xiao beside him said softly, "Looking at the old lady's complexion, I'm afraid she is ill. The army has brought a royal doctor. Let's have someone take the lady down for treatment."

The old woman had always taken care of herself when she was sick before, so she subconsciously waved her hand and refused: "No, no, it's not a big deal, I'll be fine in a while."

Mo Xiao disagreed a little: "It's just a minor illness. If you keep delaying treatment, it will become a serious illness. It will be bad. The old lady doesn't think about herself, but also think about her son. If something happens to you, what will he do?"

The old woman's original words of refusal suddenly stopped coming out of her mouth and she looked at her son helplessly.

Tuoba Xuan held the woman's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty is right. My mother and I depend on each other for survival. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to live."

The old woman had lived for her son all her life, and when she heard this, she dared not refuse.

Mo Xiao waved his hand and called a secret guard beside him, and whispered: "Take the old lady down to see a doctor, and make sure she is safe."

His voice was not low, and Tuoba Xuan next to him could hear it clearly.

After the old woman was taken away, Tuoba Xuan bowed deeply to Mo Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mo Xiao had just given him enough face in front of his mother and treated his mother with enough courtesy, and Tuoba Xuan was sincerely grateful.

Mo Xiao said calmly: "She is originally a citizen of our dynasty. Everything I have done is what I should do. You don't have to thank me."
