Mo Mingzhe was returning to the capital with his son. Before they even arrived, countless generals from neighboring states who had tried to besiege Great Xia were slain. After eight years apart, the emperor was so ill he was near death. The regent’s hair had turned snow-white, while the young heir stood between them, looking from one to the other. Di Xiuyuan believed it was his own mistake years ago that had allowed his imperial sister to scheme against Mingzhe, resulting in this child. Mo Mingzhe was vague about his son’s parentage and let the misunderstanding stand. Mo Luo began to wonder: Why were his father and His Majesty acting so strangely? When the old ministers saw the young heir’s face, they were shocked. So the reason the regent had been gone for eight years was that he’d been raising the emperor’s child! The new ministers thought: It doesn’t matter whose child he is. What matters is that Great Xia has an heir to the throne! When the truth finally came out, Mo Luo made his position clear to Di Xiuyuan first. “Now that you know, I’ll be frank with you.” “I understand how you feel, getting back what you thought you’d lost. But please understand that I’ve depended on Father ever since I was little.” “So until I get used to sleeping alone, Father will still have to sleep with me at night. You’re an adult, and you managed to sleep by yourself for eight years, so you can hold out a little longer.” “If you really can’t manage, have some calming tea. Who sleeps by running back and forth between two beds?” Di Xiuyuan was mortified. Mo Mingzhe turned his head.
