Fortunately, Yun Nian and Wei Qingjue reacted promptly, and Yun Shuo's arrangements were rigorous and ingenious. After the black fog spread and enveloped the small town where Zhang's mansion was located, it lingered outside Luochuan City for a long time, but ultimately failed to invade the capital.

But many people saw the ominous black fog, and people were panicked and rumors were spreading.

Especially when the news of Ke Luo's defeat came, some people even thought it was Da'an's fault for counterattacking.

He even said that those border towns could be lost, but as long as Luochuan City was still there, it would be fine.

For such fools, there was no need for Wei Qingjue to take action. Zuo Mingyuan had already sent these guys to the Dali Temple under Yun Shuo's control with a dark face.

Apart from the not-so-innocent Zhang family being badly injured, most people were relieved that no more casualties were caused.

After He Yanchang examined the rescued women, he found that they were not only tortured physically, but also mentally destroyed. They might not be able to return to their normal lives for a long time.

Besides, I'm afraid they don't want to go back. A young woman has been missing for so long, I'm afraid there will be a lot of speculation.

"Let's stabilize them first. When the time is right, I will ask His Majesty for mercy and let them become palace maids or something else. When they want to go back, I will come up with a suitable excuse."

Otherwise, if they were left to fend for themselves, I'm afraid few would survive.

As for those dishonest ministers, Yun Shuo sneered. He thought he had no ability to suppress the overall situation, but those stupid guys wanted to rise up.

It seems that they have forgotten how terrifying the person sitting on the throne was.

During his absence, Yun Fang was in charge of the overall situation. He was the prime minister, and he knew exactly what those ministers were thinking.

When his son came back, he patted him on the shoulder.

"You are finally back, the black fog..."

"Let's wait until His Highness comes back. It all depends on how His Highness handles it."

Yun Shuo shook his head, feeling a little tired. He looked at his father's face and suddenly felt a little sad.

He didn't know why he had such feelings, but he felt despair and hope growing together.

At that moment, he suddenly wanted to ask, wanted to ask his father, whether he knew that he liked his sister,

But seeing Yun Fang's wrinkled face, he swallowed it.

"By the way, where's Sisi? Your mother keeps complaining about not seeing Sisi for a long time, and you don't let us go to the hot spring villa. Is she in a better mood recently?"

The middle-aged man was talking in a rather rambling way.

"If she doesn't want to get married, then don't get married. If she doesn't want to study literature, then don't study. After all, we can support her, and you will take care of her when she gets old. As long as Sisi is happy, that's all."

As he spoke, he sighed, and his shoulders seemed to slump.

"Now I don't understand why I wanted to use another woman to force her. My Sisi was originally a person created by heaven and earth. I spoiled her, so how can I blame her? It's normal for Sisi to be angry."

"But you have to explain to your sister that it was Daddy and Mommy who were wrong. Don't be sulky anymore. She has that little mouth that can hold an oil bottle when it pouts. What can she do if she gets angry?"

Yun Fang kept talking, not even noticing the warmth and nostalgia on his face.

Yun Shuo suddenly could no longer control his emotions, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and he looked as miserable as a child who had lost his family.

Yun Fang, who was the prime minister and considered himself a good father, had never seen his eldest son look like this before. He felt so heartbroken as if he had lost his treasure.

"Father! Mother!"

Liu Shulan came over from behind and gently hugged her child, a tall child who had already reached adulthood. But she clearly felt that the scene of the little dumpling was just yesterday.

"Don't cry."

She soothed him softly.

"I just like it. It's not something that harms the world."

Yun Shuo looked up in astonishment, and saw the tenderness in his mother's eyes, as if he realized something.

"The children of our Yun family are all brave enough to love and hate. I have brought you up like this. If there are any mistakes, it is my own fault. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay?"

She wiped the tears from Yun Shuo's face, her own eyes were red but she didn't notice it.

"Similarly, you have to remember that Sisi belongs to herself. Who she likes and who she doesn't like is her own decision. We just have to accept it."

Liu Shulan blinked her eyes and raised her head to stop the tears from falling.

"Mother has done a lot of wrong things, and she is also very self-righteous. I used myself to hurt my daughter and made her so sad, so we should apologize together."

"Mother..."

……

Deep in the palace, Yun Nian stayed in Wei Qingjue's bedroom and watched him swiftly and decisively bring He Yanchang from the Imperial Hospital. Even though he pulled his beard and scolded him, Wei Qingjue ignored him.

"Nian Nian said she's in pain, check her out quickly."

He said this bluntly. Although he had reasons to be willful as the regent, He Yanchang still couldn't control his rage.

"Inspection? Did you know that I just cultivated my herbs? I finally caught a wisp of black mist and locked it up. Just as I was about to put my herbs in, you barged in?"

He suppressed his anger, but couldn't help but be gentle when he saw Yun Nian's cute little face.

"Where does it hurt?"

Yun Nian shook his head, covered his mouth and stammered without saying anything. After a long while, a very low voice came out.

"It's just that my head still hurts a bit, nothing else is wrong. Grandpa Doctor, you should go check your herbs."

He Yanchang glanced at the two of them in a daze, and then saw Yun Nian's embarrassed expression and movements. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he realized something.

"Okay, then if you feel uncomfortable, just let the maid come to me."

He glared at Wei Qingjue and left angrily, but the other party looked innocent, as if he didn't know why he looked at him like that.

Only Yun Nian and Wei Qingjue were left in the entire bedroom. When he sat beside Yun Nian and asked in a low voice, he received the "honor" of a fist bump from the girl.

"Look at the good things you've done!"

Yun Nian finally put her hand down and pointed at her lips. Her originally rosy lips seemed to have become darker in color, and there were small wounds at the corners of her mouth.

"You're using so much force, how can I face people like this! If others saw it, they would know what I just did!"

She looked very pretty when she was angry, a lively, vivid girl, leaning against him like this. This was the scene Wei Qingjue had always dreamed of.

He grabbed Yun Nian's finger, pressed it to the corner of his lips, and raised his eyebrows.

"But didn't you bite me too? I was just returning the favor."

Oh, Yun Nian was even angrier. How come this man showed his true colors after they confessed their love to each other? How could someone be so shameless? He was not like the cold and abstinent regent at all.

When they were sitting in the carriage, he coaxed her to come closer, asking her to continue several times, kissing her until she could only retreat while saying it hurt.

As a result, he even called the imperial physician He 5 over!

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Although Yun Nian's watery eyes made people want to tease her, Wei Qingjue obviously knew when to stop and gently stroked her hair.

"There is one thing I'm not sure if you want to know. The Prime Minister and his wife want to see you."

"Okay."

The girl nodded decisively, which made the hesitant man stunned for a moment.

"Do you really want to meet them? They..."

"They didn't do it on purpose. Besides, they have no memory of what happened before. I can't even find a suitable reason to be angry. Anyway, let's meet first."

After passing through layers of guards, Liu Shulan finally saw her daughter. Although she knew that Wei Qingjue loved her, she couldn't help but worry when she saw such tight guards.

She knew best how sensitive and soft-hearted Yun Nian was, and Wei Qingjue was the regent. If he got tired of her one day, what would Yun Nian do?

But when she approached the bedroom, she knew she didn't have to worry about this problem at all.

Wei Qingjue half-knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and gently put on Yun Nian's shoes, so pious and so cherishing.
