After drinking the decoction that Mo Haoning used to grind the mermaid scales and recuperate for five or six days, Mo Haoning agreed to Qiao Xiya to pack up her things and prepare to go to the southwest border with him.

"Is the cotton belt belted? Don't leave the stove behind......" Jommy commanded as he looked at the busy servant.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter will come back safely." Qiao Xiya took Qiao Mi's hand and comforted softly. Qiao Xiya knew that Qiao Mi's thousands of words of advice were just uneasy.

"Alas, seeing that it is about to enter the wax moon in a few days, I am afraid that this year will not be able to be reunited." Qiao Mi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she didn't want Qiao Xiya to go, but the monarch and the minister, father and son, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, she still knew.

Qiao Xiya hugged Qiao Mishi, the familiar and reassuring embrace made Qiao Xiya's heart tingle a little, she held back her tears, and reluctantly smiled, "My daughter must come back as soon as possible." You and Daddy must take care of your health."

"Don't worry." Qiao Qinglin comforted with red eyes, "There are people sent by General Gu and the prince before at home, so you can rest assured." After that, he looked at the three or four carriages parked at the gate of the courtyard, and the servants who were busy loading the carts with daily necessities, and continued, "This is a long way to go to the mountains, so please pay attention to safety. Don't risk it alone, your mother and I will wait for you to come back."

"Yes. My daughter remembers her father's teachings." Qiao Xiya bowed, and when she got up, tears fell all over her body.

"You're hurt...... Soon after he recovered, he ...... on the way Certain...... Be careful and take care of ...... Take care of yourself......" Qiao Mi leaned into Qiao Qinglin's arms, choked and almost speechless.

"Mother rest assured, daughter must pay attention to her body and not let her mother worry." Qiao Xiya reached out and wiped away the tears on Qiao Mi's cheeks, and smiled reluctantly.

"Go ahead. The prince is here." Qiao Qinglin said, glancing at the two tall horses that were walking in his direction.

Mo Haoning took Chu Yun, and the two of them each rode a tall horse towards the gate of Qiao's Mansion. Chu Yun carried a burden on his shoulders, holding two food boxes in one hand, and there was nothing else.

The two horses approached, Mo Haoning turned over and dismounted, took the food box in Chu Yun's hand, and walked towards Qiao Qinglin and the others.

"Mistress Joe." Mo Haoning arched his hand, "Lord Qiao, Mrs. Qiao, don't worry, with Xiao Wang here, I will do my best to protect Miss Qiao."

"Rest assured, rest assured." Qiao Qinglin hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled politely, and then looked back, "The prince brought Chu Yun alone?"

"General Su and his men are already waiting outside the city." Mo Haoning smiled, and then handed the food box in his hand to Qiao Mi's face, "These are a few newly made cakes in the palace, Madame should try them as a new thing."

"Eat it on the road." Jommy excused himself.

"Miss Joe has a copy too." Mo Haoning glanced at the food box in Chu Yun's hand and smiled at Qiao Mi's, "Don't worry."

"Good, good." Seeing Mo Haoning's thoughtfulness, Qiao Mi calmed down slightly.

"Alright, the hour is getting shorter. Let's go." Qiao Qinglin urged.

"Take care, daddy." Qiao Xiya was deeply blessed, turned around and got into the carriage.

～～

"Miss Qiao," after meeting Su Huaizuo's men and horses outside the city, Mo Haoning slowed down, walked around, and followed Qiao Xiya's carriage, "That letter that day......

"Sent by Yumeng." Qiao Xiya's soft voice came from the carriage, "She got on the body of Yun Zhishui and wrote a letter. One was grateful for my help to her, and the other was to tell me that she and her children were now in that painting. This time, she asked Yun Zhishui to seal their mother and son."

"What's wrong with her?" Mo Haoning trembled slightly in his heart.

"She said that her child still has grievances, and she is afraid that if she is negligent, she will let the child slip out and cause a big disaster."

Mo Haoning was stunned for a moment, and said quietly: "It is said that the love of parents is far-reaching. Although it is true that the champion is not even as good as a beast, this child has such an extremely qualified mother as Yu Meng. What about the clouds stopping the water? Where have you been?"

"The second half of the letter was written by Yun Zhishui." Qiao Xiya paused, "Yun Zhishui said that let Yu dream of his body and write this letter,

It can be regarded as her last wish, and then he will seal Yumeng, and in the future, he can only understand the situation of the mother and son through the picture. He said that he traveled with the painting to see the splendid mountains and rivers of Daning, and also hoped to use the great rivers and mountains to soothe the resentment of Yumeng's mother and son. At the end of the letter, he also explained in detail the reason between the thirty-six lotus lamps in the left ear room of Biluozhai and his resurrection. As for those who are believed to have been buried for him by his family, he paid for them."

"Well, none of that matters." Mo Haoning sighed softly, "In the end, he didn't hurt anyone. The man who climbed over the wall to steal calligraphy and paintings lost his life, and he is also to blame."

Qiao Xiya in the carriage didn't speak, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "By the way, did Your Majesty say anything about going to the southwest border this time?"

"I don't know very well, I only have a report from my father to me, which only says that there are strange insects in Yuequan Town, a small town in the southwest, which is haunting, highly poisonous, and kills countless people, and the people on the border are panicked and the hearts of the army are shaken." Mo Haoning sighed and continued, "Yuequan Town is the gateway to the southwest of Daning, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Yuequan Town is breached, then the foreign enemy can drive straight into Jin'an without much effort."

"Which general is guarding the border?" Qiao Xiya's heart tightened, and she faintly felt that this matter was not trivial.

"A few months ago, it was Lin Guoshi's son, Lin Shichong, and now it's my second brother, Mo Changhong."

～～

The crowd stopped and walked until the 24th day of the lunar month before arriving at the southwest border.

What Mo Haoning didn't expect was that Mo Changhong actually took his little servant Youping, and the master and servant waited under the city gate of Yuequan Town on two war horses.

Mo Haoning urged the horse to walk a few steps quickly, came to the city gate, turned over and dismounted, and clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Second brother!"

"Seventh!" Mo Changhong opened his arms and gave Mo Haoning a big bear hug, "I didn't expect it to be you!" Father said that there will be a master, why don't I know when your kid will become a master?!"

"The second brother's eyes are like torches, and the foolish brother is indeed not a master." Mo Haoning smiled and pointed to the carriage lane not far behind him, which was coming towards the city gate, "The master is in the carriage!"

"In the carriage?" Mo Changhong was stunned for a moment, pulled Mo Haoning's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Old Seven, I'm afraid this master is not an old immortal?"

"Hahahaha......" Mo Haoning was amused by Mo Changhong's appearance, "Second brother said he was laughing." After that, Mo Haoning stepped forward, took the reins from Qiao San's hand, and stopped the carriage, "Miss Qiao, it's here."
