Madam Qu said, “We met her in Youjia village. At that time, Young General had yet to recover his memories. Later, a gold mine was discovered at Youjia village, so we migrated to the southern frontier together.”

When Emperor Ling Hui heard the words “Youjia village”, he suddenly had an impression of it. Then, he got someone to bring over the dossier on Youjia village.

Of the memorials that Qu Yuanxian had once reported, eight out of ten mentioned Bai Wutong.

He explained Bai Wutong’s contribution to the entire Woqian Town and the entire Ling Kingdom.

Emperor Ling Hui suddenly asked Qu Yuanxian, “Your teacher is Yang Quanzi?”

Qu Yuanxian replied, “Yes, he’s my teacher.”

Emperor Ling Hui narrowed his eyes and examined Qu Yuanxian. “What’s so extraordinary about this woman who was also recognized by a great scholar?”

Qu Yuanxian thought that Emperor Ling Hui was going to harm Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong. He wanted Emperor Ling Hui to see Bai Wutong’s value and show mercy. “Madam Bai has the character and talent that the world admires.”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Ling Hui’s expression changed drastically.

“She has the character and talent that everyone in the world admires…”

For a moment, Emperor Ling Hui actually felt an unprecedented crisis.

The southern frontier was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now, not only was Chu Tianbao holding down the defense, but they also had shockingly powerful firearms. It was even more difficult to take down the southern frontier.

Emperor Ling Hui thought about it carefully for the entire night. Unless he developed a firearm with the same power and could take down the southern frontier, it was best to persuade Bai Wutong to surrender.

If she surrendered, he could spare her life for the sake of Chu Tianbao and Noble Consort Ling. However, she could only stay at home and take care of her husband and children for the rest of her life.

A few days later, Emperor Ling Hui received another letter from Nine Heavens. Bai Wutong had given birth to a pair of twins for Chu Tianbao. After knowing that he had biological grandchildren, Emperor Ling Hui was much happier.

His daughter-in-law was the empress, and in the future, his grandson would definitely succeed the throne. In fact, the southern frontier was still the territory of his Ling Kingdom.

Emperor Ling Hui was less dissatisfied with Bai Wutong, so he asked Commander Zhang to secretly summon Qu Yuanxian again.

Qu Yuanxian and Madam Qu had not been able to leave the palace since the last time they entered. After a while, they arrived in front of Emperor Ling Hui.

He knelt down and bowed. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Ling Hui waved his hand. “Get up. I want to confer you as the special envoy of the southern frontier and ask you to do something especially important.”

Qu Yuanxian was surprised that he could still be placed in an important position by Emperor Ling Hui. When Emperor Ling Hui finished telling him what to do, Qu Yuanxian was petrified.

Bai Wutong had become the Great Empress of the southern frontier?

Chu Tianbao was Emperor Ling Hui’s biological son!

Chu Tianbao even kidnapped Noble Consort Ling and brought her back to the southern frontier!

His mission was to convince Bai Wutong to surrender to the Ling Kingdom and bring her entire family back to the Ling Kingdom to confer a title!

Previously, Qu Yuanxian was only a county official. Now that he had actually heard such a shocking secret, his eyes widened like copper bells and he could not react for a long time. Finally, Emperor Ling Hui said again, “I know that you are capable and talented. I will hand over the stability of the Ling Kingdom to you.”

When Qu Yuanxian walked out of the imperial study, his mind was still in a daze.

Ever since he was taken away, Madam Qu had been terrified that something would happen to him.

Qu Yuanxian returned unscathed. She was extremely excited and hugged him. “Are you alright? The emperor didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Realizing that he seemed to have lost his soul, Madam Qu was extremely worried. “Say something. Don’t scare me.”

Qu Yuanxian sat down and held his chest for a long time before saying, “Let me calm down first.”

Madam Qu became even more anxious. What was it that could scare the usually calm Qu Yuanxian so much that he was sweating profusely?

After a long time, Qu Yuanxian finally said, “Yuling, the emperor has appointed me as the special envoy of the southern frontier. I’m going to the southern frontier. Stay at home and wait for me to return.”

Madam Qu was stunned. “A special envoy to the southern frontier?” Then she said excitedly, “Why did the emperor confer you the title of special envoy to the southern frontier? Is it because we’ve been to the southern frontier? What grade is the special envoy from the southern frontier? Is that higher ranked than our son? Then do I have an official title?”

Qu Yuanxian smiled. “That is because I’ve been to the southern frontier and there are some things that the emperor thinks it’s better for me to do. The special envoy to the southern frontier is a first-rank official, and you’re now a first-rank official’s wife. I’ll return as soon as possible when I go to the southern frontier this time. The journey is too tiring. You should stay by our sons’ side.”

Madam Qu’s smile froze. “Aren’t you bringing me along?”

Qu Yuanxian comforted her. “Don’t you also dislike the southern frontier? Just stay in the capital.”

Madam Qu did not like to go to the southern frontier because she was looked down on. Now that she was the wife of a first-rank official, everyone had to respect her, so why should she not go?

What if Qu Yuanxian had someone by his side and brought back a bastard son for her? She thought about it and said firmly, “I definitely have to go! When you didn’t have an official position, I accompanied you. Now that you have an official position, don’t tell me you despise me?”

Qu Yuanxian said helplessly, “The emperor’s mission is more important. 1 really can’t bring you along this time.”

Madam Qu pursed her lips. “Who can’t bring a wife with them when they’re in office? You just don’t want to bring me along.”

“Yuling…”

Madam Qu met his eyes and her heart softened. She leaned her head on his shoulder. “Then I’ll wait for you to come back. You’re not allowed to bring me a bastard son.”

Qu Yuanxian smiled. “Why are you letting your imagination run wild? We already have two sons.”

At the mention of her sons, Madam Qu became happy again. “Then we can leave the palace later, right? When we go back, we’ll call Liangyu and Lianghua over to celebrate.”

Emperor Ling Hui had sealed off the matter of Bai Wutong becoming the emperor in the southern frontier. If Madam Qu celebrated with great fanfare, it would attract others’ attention.

Qu Yuanxian said, “The emperor has an important mission in the southern frontier this time. We have to keep a low profile. Stay at home and don’t tell anyone for the time being that I’m the special envoy of the southern frontier.”

After becoming a first-rank official, he had to hide it. Madam Qu immediately felt that something was wrong and asked warily, “Can’t we tell our sons?”

Qu Yuanxian nodded. “Yes, wait for me to return from the southern frontier.”

Madam Qu suddenly cried. “How dangerous is it that no one can know about it? I want to go with you!”

Qu Yuanxian wiped her tears. If he could, he would have brought his wife and children along.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. Be good and don’t let the children worry.”

Just as Qu Yuanxian was preparing to pack his luggage and set off for the southern frontier, Chu Mingxuan found Quan Jiuzhou again and asked anxiously, “Uncle, why is there no news until now? Have you really sent someone?”

There were hundreds of suicide soldiers in the family. How could there be no news at all after a few months?

Quan Jiuzhou coughed lightly and took out a letter. “It’s a letter that just arrived. Take a look.”

Chu Mingxuan snatched it over. After looking at it carefully, he immediately revealed an incredulous expression. “The southern frontier was taken over by a woman?”

Quan Jiuzhou said, “This woman even gave birth to a pair of twins for Gu Junyan. Gu Junyan probably won’t return. He won’t be a threat to you.”

As long as Chu Tianbao was alive, he was a threat.

Chu Mingxuan questioned, “There are so many suicide soldiers in the entire family.. Can’t we go deep into the southern frontier and kill him?”
