Zi Yuan already knew that the new ruler of the West Li Kingdom had succeeded him. Murong Xiu continued to be his Regent, enjoying the thrill of being the real boss behind the scenes. On the other hand, Tang Ao had been sent out of the capital by Murong Xiu to guard the border of Yongan city, which was not too far away from Furong City.

Thus, Zi Yuan went to the market to buy a good horse, and galloped all the way until he arrived at the Hibiscus City first.

Ye Indigo City had been under the protection of the Hibiscus City for more than a year, and was managed in a neat and orderly manner. From the moment Zi Yuan entered the city, he could feel that it was as lively as the capital. All the merchants from all over the world had gathered here.

Zi Ling had already been pregnant for seven months, and Zi Yuan had been sending her condolences. Thus, he naturally went to visit her when he arrived at the Hibiscus City. When the Violet Garden saw this face that was similar to her own, she revealed the joy of being a mother for the first time, and her heart was inexplicably happy for her. She didn't know what kind of relationship they should have, but she knew that this was a rare type of kinship. Therefore, she did her best to give some concern to Zi Ling. Zi Ling was extremely happy with her elder sister's care. She wished that Zi Yuan could stay and accompany her to the afterlife.

However, Zi Yuan still had a mission to complete, so he only stayed for two nights before leaving in a hurry.

She disguised herself as a horse dealer and entered Yongan City. Yongan City was obviously not as prosperous as the Hibiscus City, but it was still an important trading center.

How could the Violet Garden have the heart to sell her horses? She quickly sold the horses she bought in Furong City for a price that was easy for her to sell. After that, she arrogantly walked over to Tang Ao's residence.

She asked her hanger-on to inform Tang Ao that an old friend had come to visit. As expected, Tang Ao came out on his own. When he saw that it was her, he was shocked. Fortunately, he had also been in the government for a while, so he didn't reveal Violet Garden's identity on the spot. He used the etiquette of an honored guest to invite the Violet Garden into the manor and arranged a good residence for her, to the point that everyone in the Tang residence was guessing just who this unassuming woman was. This was all thanks to the Violet Garden's previous disguise.

Tang Ao was still extremely busy, and only at night did he have the time to go to the Violet Garden to have a good chat. Zi Yuan went straight to the point and asked about his father. At the same time, he was asked if he knew anything about his grandparents.

"Grandparents have always lived with us." Although Tang Ao wasn't clear why Zi Yuan wanted to know about his family matters, he honestly replied, "I don't know what aspect you're going to ask about. I only know that our family is native to Furong City."

"Are you sure your grandparents were your father's biological parents?" Zi Yuan continued to ask.

Tang Ao's brow wrinkled, but he quickly thought for a moment before replying: "I don't know what you mean by that, but it does seem my grandfather did mention it, as if my father was their adopted child."

"Is that so?" The Violet Garden's eyes immediately lit up, immediately asking Xue Mingrui's son if Tang Ao was his father's birthdate.

Tang Ao wrote down her words, then nodded his head and said, "This is indeed my father's birthdate. However, how do you know my father's birthdate?"

Afterwards, Zi Yuan asked about the location of the birthmark, which was also in line with Tang Ao's father's condition. This was really the case. It didn't take much effort for him to obtain the broken iron shoes everywhere. Zi Yuan's intuition was victorious once again. She had not expected things to turn out this way. She had never dreamed of such a thing.

Tang Ao really was the grandson of Xue Mingrui and Helian Fen Ren! Zi Yuan was both happy and worried about this discovery. He was happy that his answer was right. The worry was that with Tang Ao's personality and loyalty towards Murong Xiu, how could he be willing to admit that he actually had the bloodline of the North Vietnamese royal family?

Violet Garden temporarily couldn't think of a way to explain Tang Ao's background to him, so she decided to stay in his house.

News of an unknown woman from Tang Ao's family quickly reached Murong Xiu's ears. He immediately guessed that it was Zi Yuan. Thus, he left the capital and headed towards Yongan city.

Inside Tang Ao's house, he indeed saw the Violet Garden disguised as a normal person. He stared fixedly at the Violet Garden. The Violet Garden knew that this fellow was most likely here for her sake, so she fearlessly and openly allowed him to look at her.

"Zi Yuan, it's really you …" Mu Rong Xiu muttered to himself as he reached out his hand towards Zi Yuan, trying to caress her face.

Zi Yuan nimbly evaded the attack. The learning in the mountains was still a great benefit to her.

Mu Rong Xiu was shocked by her dexterity. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, followed by a burning excitement.

Why did you come to Xi Li to look for Tang Ao?" "You're not looking for me either. It's fine if you play Go." "Murong Xiu said in a coquettish tone.

"I've discovered that General Tang Ao is actually one of us from the Northern Yue, so I've come to confirm with him."

"Then, did you confirm it?" Mu Rong Xiu sounded unperturbed.

"Yes." Zi Yuan nodded. "I'm already very sure that Tang Ao is one of the bloodlines of our Northern Kingdom's royal family."

Tang Ao, who was accompanying Murong Xiu, hadn't heard the Violet Garden mention it in the past few days, so when he heard it, his mouth opened so wide that he could swallow a goose egg.

"Impossible, wangfei, are you playing with Tang Ao?" Tang Ao didn't believe it at all.

"Did I ask about your father?" The Violet Garden smiled as she asked Tang Ao.

Tang Ao nodded honestly, not denying.

"Including the birthmark and the date of birth, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Zi Yuan asked with a smile.

Tang Ao nodded honestly: "That's right. I also wonder why you have such detailed and accurate information about my father."

"Your grandparents were actually your father's adoptive parents. Have you confirmed this with me?" Zi Yuan continued calmly.

"That's right." At this moment, Tang Ao was being led away by the Violet Garden.

"The reason I came to find you was to confirm that you are not a member of our royal family that is living in Xizi," Zi Yuan said half-truthfully. "All of this information about your father was told to me by his biological parents. I was also asked to come here by them. They really want to recognize you as their grandson!"

"..." Princess, are you playing with me? " Tang Ao was still in disbelief. "You only came to me to ask me these questions, but you never told me the results. Why did you say it when the prince came?"

"I dare not lie in front of your prince!" Violet Garden winked mischievously at Murong Xiu. This mischievous action immediately made Murong Xiu's heart itch.

"You are purposefully telling This King so This King can be suspicious of General Tang, right?" Murong Xiu immediately suppressed Zi Yuan's hands as he whispered in his ear, "You little demon. I'll take care of you tonight!"

After speaking, Murong Xiu was like a bolt of lightning as he hit Violet Garden's acupuncture points, preventing her from moving. The Purple Garden was momentarily caught off guard. She could only blame herself for not being highly vigilant. Next up, she could only take one step at a time and see how she dealt with the moves.

Zi Yuan, who had been hit by the acupuncture points, couldn't move at all. He could only allow Murong to call for help to wash off the makeup powder on her face, revealing her previously flawless skin and her cold and exquisite face.

Even though Zi Yuan was a modern man and he had enjoyed a one-night stand, he still felt humiliated when he was forced!

The main idea was that if he didn't appear in the imperial court, he wouldn't be able to stand up to those old fellows anymore, and the young marquis of Dongping had come to Beiyue City. This behavior made the high officials and dukes of the Northern Yue State a bit nervous, after all, they felt that the missing monarch hadn't been found, and if the only consort were to be with the men of another kingdom, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous for the Northern Yue?

When Zi Yuan saw Qiao Yu's letter, she was overjoyed. The moment that Helian had been waiting for was about to arrive. It had been a long time since she saw Helian Ying Qi and Helian Yinglin, the lovable twins. Now that she thought about it, she really missed these two adorable children.

She went to have a meeting with Blue Night. Although she felt a little sorry for her big belly, which was only one or two months away from birth, but at this moment, she had no choice but to bring her husband to do something even bigger.

Zi Ling was not very knowledgeable about the country's affairs, nor was she very clear about it. However, she knew that what Zi Yuan had done was definitely the right thing to do. It would make her husband, Ye Cang, and Zi Yuan's own husband, Xuan Yi support her and resolutely execute her plan. Therefore, she could only withdraw her emotions and listen to her elder sister's advice.

The news of the North Vietnamese border sending Night Blue's troops into the mountains quickly passed through the ears of the dutiful West Li spy to Murong Xiu.

An indescribable smile could be seen on Mu Rong Xiu's face. He had not yet fully awakened from the beauty of that night. Murong Xiu was lost in his own thoughts and emotions.

Right now, he didn't feel that there was anything to be suspicious about. He was currently using Tang Ao as the most important person.

He had never relaxed in the face of Tang Ao's surveillance. However, the latest news today was that Tang Ao hadn't left Westward yet. He was still in the same place as before.

Murong Xiu wasn't in a hurry at all. His relationship with Zi Yuan had already broken through. The sudden disappearance of the Violet Garden was a very common occurrence for Murong Xiu. Mu Rong Xiu had lost his mind due to his one-sided love, and had lost his rational judgement.

At this moment, the Violet Garden that had disappeared from sight after Murong Xiu's pursuit was naturally mixed within Night Blue's troops. On the surface, the highest commander of this troop was Night Blue Azure. In reality, she was the one directing the troops in the direction they were headed.

A cavalry and infantry unit of fifty thousand men, even if they kept marching day and night, would take at least five days to reach the mountain range where Helian was located. Thus, Zi Yuan and Night Blue Blue Blue led the vanguard cavalry team to their destination in just six days.

Seeing Helian, who was still unharmed and in high spirits, he rushed forward and knelt on the ground.

"Get up." Helian Lie was also extremely excited when he saw his brother, Ye Blueblue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Helian Fen pulled Violet Garden to the side and asked her about her son's investigation. Zi Yuan mysteriously smiled and said, "Master, if you, an old man, can help us out, I think you should be able to meet your grandson."

"Grandson?" As expected, Fu Ren was immediately agitated. "Old man, we still have grandchildren!"

"Then, what about our son?" Fu Ren was not completely tricked away by Zi Yuan.

Thus, Violet Garden lowered her eyes. After a long time, she said, "If you guys meet your grandson, wouldn't it be better if you asked him about your son's matter?"

"Our son... Is he dead? " Fu Ren said unwillingly.

"Your grandson is the same age as us." Zi Yuan reminded him.

A wry smile appeared on Fu Ren's face. "That's true. How many people can live as long as we do? Haha …"

"You guys really do have a grandson. Moreover, this grandson is very smart." Zi Yuan simply described Tang Ao's image to Fu Ren in detail. The more she heard, the more she liked him, and the more she liked this grandson of hers. When she heard that this grandson had a beautiful Dongping girlfriend, the wrinkles on her face almost disappeared.

Thus, just like that, Zi Yuan had coaxed Helian Fen and Xue Mingrui, the old couple with powerful combat abilities, into joining his team.

The thousand elite squads that had already been trained to a great level had been given the name 'Shadow' by Zi Yuan. The main responsibility of these people was not to clash head-on with the enemy, but to assassinate.

When they returned to the palace, the Violet Garden only called for Qiao Yu and the other noblemen and princes. When they saw Helian Profound Wings, who was even more burly and energetic than before, the reaction of these subjects and princes were even more agitated than Night Blue.

Two of the old officials couldn't help but want to touch Helian's face to see if it was true.

Helian did not put on airs. Instead, he walked to the middle of the group in a very easy-going manner and said with a deep bow, "Helian is too selfish. He wholeheartedly wants to improve himself so everyone is worried."
