Changle Palace.
"I heard that you have already cleared out the remnants of the eldest prince's followers in the palace this morning. You are quite capable at such a young age." Ning Xia Xia came to Changle Palace and said to Liu Chengyuan.
Liu Chengyuan didn't say anything, just sat in Changle Palace.
He suddenly realized that his Aunt Ning was so beautiful.
Like a fairy.
He suddenly realized how happy it was for him that she had accompanied him through so many difficulties.
When she was around, he was not afraid of anything.
Her optimism has always influenced him.
He thought of how hard she had worked to protect him along the way, and now that he had finally returned to the palace, he had to thank her very much.
So Liu Chengyuan came forward and said, "Aunt Ning, what reward do you want? Do you want an official position or money? I can give you whatever you want."
"Heh." Ning Xia Xia raised her eyes. It was rare that this kid knew how to repay a favor.
But she didn't want anything. When it came to being an official, Bai Qiege now had to obey her, which meant that her position was higher than Bai Qiege's. As for money, she was not short of it.
"If you want to reward me, you should quickly get rid of those who covet the throne and keep the throne firmly under your ass. Then I will be satisfied."
This was the reward she wanted most.
"Me?" Liu Chengyuan was stunned. "Auntie won't accompany me?"
Ning Xia Xia was the one who accompanied him in dealing with all the previous princes.
Why does she say that now?
"Oh, right." Ning Xia Xia didn't pay attention to his inner emotions and continued, "When we were outside the palace, we had dealt with several princes. How many are left now?"
"Three..." Liu Chengyuan replied.
"Well, Your Majesty, you now have the ability to solve problems independently. With the assistance of Master Bai, you will definitely be able to do better."
This made Liu Chengyuan even more nervous: "Aunt, you won't help me anymore?"
"You can do well on your own now." Ning Xia Xia said, "You have grown up."
"Then what are you going to do, aunt?" Liu Chengyuan asked.
"Me." Ning Xia Xia's eyes suddenly flickered, and a person's face appeared in her mind. When she thought of him, a crimson blush crept up her cheeks.
Liu Chengyuan was stunned for a moment when he saw her expression.
He has indeed grown up.
But his aunt's shy expression... He still needs some experience to understand...

Prime Minister's House.
The emperor returned to the palace safely, and the whole city was celebrating. However, Ye Bo sat in the room in a daze, and the yard was filled with gifts for his wedding.
There was some mud on the gifts.
Although Ye Junli did not come yesterday, he still went to Gaofeng Village with the betrothal gifts.
At that time, outsiders said that Ye Junli was going to rebel.
He didn't believe it.
He bet that Ye Junli would definitely marry Ning Xiaxia, so he took so many things up the mountain, ready to meet Ye Junli on the mountain. It rained so heavily yesterday, and he led a team of people to the foot of Gaofengzhai in the suburbs of Beijing, beating gongs and drums in the heavy rain.
It was dark and the road was muddy, and he almost fell several times. But he still gritted his teeth and carried the gift to the mountain.
As a result, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he met Ye Junli.
It was pitch dark at that time, and Ye Junli went down the mountain alone. The horse under him was too tired and injured to carry him.
Ye Junli had no choice but to pull his horse down the mountain with a lost look on his face.
Ye Bo had never seen Ye Junli look so miserable. Although there were many wounds on his body, the empty eyes made him stunned.
Ye Junli, who has always been so proud and arrogant, actually had such a depressed expression.
"Jun Li..." Ye Bo stopped the team. Although he had roughly guessed the result, he still asked, "Are we still going to welcome the bride?"
"Dad has brought all the betrothal gifts for you." He asked cautiously, "We will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to welcome the bride, and Dad will definitely give you enough face. As for Miss Ning..."
Ye Junli didn't say anything. When he heard the three words "Miss Ning", his eyes suddenly flashed, and then the light went out again.
"No more welcoming." Ye Junli uttered these three words lightly.
After these words were spoken, Ye Bo could no longer utter the next few words of Miss Ning.
The team he brought with him stood on the hillside carrying the wedding gifts, watching from afar as Ye Junli led the horse and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
No one said anything more.
Ye Bo was very sad.
It's more sad than when I was heartbroken.
Thinking of this, Ye Bo couldn't help but sigh again. Although the emperor returned to the palace this morning, he couldn't be happy at all.
There is no hope for his beloved daughter-in-law.
There is really no hope.
"Prime Minister." Seeing that he had been sitting here all night, the butler Chen Bo came forward and asked with concern: "The courtyard is full of these gifts. Do you want to put them away?"
Hey.
Ye Bo sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Why don't we wait a while?" After all, they had carefully made each box, and it would be a pity to accept them.
"Just take it." Ye Bo was in a pessimistic mood and muttered.
Uncle Chen nodded and was about to leave when he heard a bright voice outside: "Such a beautiful box needs to be taken out to welcome the bride. How can we welcome the bride if we keep it?"
Everyone was shocked. This was the voice of the Prime Minister's wife.
Everyone looked back and saw the Prime Minister's wife striding in from outside.
Li'er!
It’s Li’er!
Prime Minister Ye was overjoyed and immediately stood up to greet her: "Li'er, Li'er, you're back." When he came close to her, he stood there excited and nervous, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Mrs. Li looked at his two eyes with dark circles under them and frowned in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep last night?"
Prime Minister Ye realized that his image was not good and seemed a little embarrassed in front of her.
Uncle Chen hurried forward to explain: "Madam, last night the young master's marriage was cancelled...so the old master was worried..."
"Uncle Chen." Hearing what he said, Uncle Ye frowned and interrupted him, "Madam just came back today, so don't talk about these unhappy things."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately chuckled and said, "Do you know why the marriage failed?"
"Why?" Both of them looked confused.
"Because I didn't go." She laughed so carelessly that others couldn't tell whether her smile was real or fake. "How could it be possible without me? I'm here today, so it will definitely be possible!"
The two were just wondering, but then they heard Li Er say, "Stop talking, bring the betrothal gifts, and let's go and get our son married together!"
"Ah? Where should we go to pick up the bride?" Ye Bo was confused.
"Where else can we go? Into the palace." Li'er said with a smile.

royal palace.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Chengyuan was talking to Ning Xia Xia when a eunuch ran in quickly and said nervously, "Ye Junli is coming to the palace with his men."
"What?!" Liu Chengyuan stood up suddenly. He felt a little guilty because he had taken advantage of Ye Junli's handling of the eldest prince last night and sneaked into the palace.
He kind of wanted to believe Ye Junli.
But he also wondered why Ye Junli suddenly entered the palace that day.
This regent.
No one can ever figure out what he is thinking.
"Aunt Ning, what should we do now?" Liu Chengyuan asked.
What can I do?
Ning Xia Xia's expression was very calm. She replied, "If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. We will know after we go and meet him." She turned around and ordered, "Tell Bai Qiege to gather the troops and meet the Regent at the palace gate!"
"Yes."
The atmosphere in the palace, which had been calm, suddenly became tense again. The servants in the palace had experienced several princes, and now they finally welcomed the emperor back, and they were all terrified.
"Isn't it possible that the Regent is going to occupy the palace again?" Chun Tao's hands were shaking with nervousness. The group of people that the Emperor dealt with this morning were the ones who served the eldest prince when he was in the palace. If the Regent occupies the palace again, and if he asks them to serve him again, then when the Emperor comes back, won't they be dead too?
"Who knows?" Dong Xing was also trembling with nervousness. The palace was in a state of panic. Seeing Ning Xia Xia leisurely coming out of the door, two people hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Xia Xia, can we protect the palace?"
"I won't change again..."
"Shut up!" Ning Xia Xia shouted at them. Without moving her brows, she said seriously, "The palace belongs only to the emperor. No one else can even think about it." After she finished speaking, she rode a horse and followed the team assembled by Bai Qige to the palace gate.
At this time, many people had gathered at the palace gate.
Ye Junli's men were outside the palace gate, while Liu Chengyuan and Bai Qige were inside the palace gate.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Junli rode on a tall horse and said to the tightly closed palace gate: "Regent King Ye Junli greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please open the door."
Open the door?
Liu Chengyuan rode his horse and stood in the center, his eyes fixed on the gate. Bai Qiege on his side said, "Your Majesty, this door cannot be opened. Ye Junli brought so many people with him. He came here to take back the palace today. If the door is opened, with Ye Junli's ability, the palace will be in danger!"
Liu Chengyuan turned his gaze to Ning Xia Xia. She looked straight ahead but said nothing.
Liu Chengyuan's mind was working rapidly.
He recalled every moment he had spent with Ye Junli.
"Your Majesty, please open the door!" Ye Junli's voice came again.
Liu Chengyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door!"
"What?!" Bai Qiege said excitedly, "No, Your Majesty, the one outside is Ye Junli."
"Open the door." Liu Chengyuan repeated.
Bai Qiege remained motionless. The soldiers gathered at the gate also obeyed Bai Qiege's words and did not move.
After Ning Xia Xia confirmed Liu Chengyuan's thoughts, she said to Qie Ge calmly, "Open the door."
Bai Qiege froze for a moment, then had to obey and said, "Open the door."
The door burst open.
What came into view was Ye Junli, dressed in black, riding against the wind, and a large group of soldiers behind him.
The scene suddenly came into view and was truly horrifying.
Liu Chengyuan's hands clenched subconsciously, but soon loosened. As a king.
Distinguishing between loyalty and treachery is the first step.
Based on his understanding of Ye Junli over the past few months, even Ye Junli's people had gone through a big battle last night.
There was no way they would just give up the palace.
Ye Junli's men swore to obey military orders until their death, and they would have fought to the death last night.
And there was only one reason why they took over the palace so easily last night.
That means Ye Junli originally wanted to offer his loyalty.
No matter what others say, he must stick to his own judgment.
Bai Qiege saw Ye Junli standing opposite him and immediately ordered his men: "Arrow your arrows and protect His Majesty!"
The people in the first row immediately pulled arrows onto their bows and protected Liu Chengyuan.
In an instant, arrows were drawn from the crossbows.
Ye Junli didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on Ning Xia Xia beside Liu Chengyuan. He didn't say anything and rode his horse forward alone.
