With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the sleeping quarters, Bei Chenyan stopped in his tracks.

"I have cleared everyone out of Father's bedchamber. Now release the children! Let Father see them."

Nangong Wu glanced into the space and saw four children practicing writing.

"Yu'er, Jue'er, Xi'er, come out here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, the four children immediately put down their pens and stood up.

With a thought, Nangong Wu sent all four children out of the space.

Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere, the three children immediately took Nangong Wu's hand.

"Mother, where is this?" Nangong Yu asked.

Bei Chenyan saw the wary look on the children's faces, their guarded eyes just like their mother's.

Their instinctive reaction was to reach for Nangong Wu's hand, but none of them reached for their father, showing that the person the children trusted most was still their mother.

"Don't be afraid, we've come to see a patient," Nangong Wu reassured the children.

Nangong Xi then remembered Bei Chenyan, walked over and took his hand, "Father."

Bei Chenyan was deeply moved; his daughter was indeed a sweet and considerate daughter.

"We've come to see your royal grandfather. He's in this bedchamber. Shall we go in and see him?"

Upon hearing this, all three children looked at Nangong Wu.

"Let's go in!" Nangong Wu said.

Bei Chenyan took Xi'er's hand and walked up the steps, then pushed open the door to the bedroom.

The Emperor of Southern Qi was awake in his bedchamber and could hear the voices of several children.

"Your Highness, did you bring the children?"

"Yes, Father." Bei Chenyan walked to the bedside, bowed, and greeted the emperor. "Your subject greets Father!"

"No need for formalities!" Emperor Nanqi nodded, his gaze falling on the faces of the three children behind him. He was immediately shocked and pulled back the covers to get out of bed.

"This is my youngest grandson..."

"Father, be careful!" Bei Chenyan exclaimed in surprise and quickly helped the Southern Qi Emperor up.

"My own grandsons." Emperor Nanqi looked at the three children with great excitement.

Even when he knew his days were numbered, he still regretted not being able to see the Crown Prince marry and have children.

After Bei Chenyan returned to the capital, the emperor was to issue an imperial decree to arrange a marriage for him, hoping to see the crown prince marry before he passed away so that he could pass the throne to him.

Little did anyone expect that the Crown Prince, who had been away for so many years, had secretly fathered three children.

"Yu'er, Jue'er, Xi'er! Come here quickly, let your royal grandfather take a look." Bei Chenyan beckoned to the three children.

However, the three children stood still, only looking up at Nangong Wu.

They had already discussed it and agreed that the grandfather could not be recognized arbitrarily; it had to be approved by the mother.

"Mother!"

Seeing how sensible the three children were and how close they were to her, Nangong Wu felt a warmth in her heart. She felt that all the hardship of giving birth to them and raising them over the years had been worthwhile.

"Mother?" Emperor Nanqi looked at his son with a puzzled expression when he saw the children calling Nangong Wu "Mother." "Isn't this the divine physician?"

Could it be a woman disguised as a man?

"Father, this is the former Princess of Runing of the Western Yan Kingdom, Nangong Wu, the mother of the three children," Bei Chenyan introduced to his father.

"What?!" The Emperor of Southern Qi was shocked again, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "Crown Prince, say it again, who is the child's birth mother?"

"She is Nangong Wu, the former Princess of Runing of the Western Yan Kingdom, and the mother of the three children," Bei Chenyan repeated.

"Really?" Emperor Nanqi, fearing he was hallucinating, pinched his thigh hard.

"It hurts, it really hurts, I'm not hallucinating." The Southern Qi Emperor held his son's hand, his hand trembling with emotion. "Crown Prince, why didn't you tell me that the child's mother is Princess Runing?"

Several years ago, Princess Nangong Wu of Runing County in the Western Yan Kingdom traveled alone to the Eastern Jin Kingdom and destroyed the Eastern Jin imperial palace and wiped out the entire Wu King's family overnight, thus becoming famous throughout the world.

After receiving the news, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep well for several months, fearing that one day she would suddenly come to their Nanqi Kingdom and a few bombs would fall, blowing him up as well.

But now, that legendary woman who struck fear into people's hearts is her son's confidante and the biological mother of her own grandson.

Upon realizing this, the Emperor of Southern Qi was overjoyed and burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."

The person who had haunted his dreams was now his son's crown princess, making all his previous worries seem unnecessary.

"Your Highness, you are so insensible! If you had written to me earlier about the child's mother, I would have personally gone to the Western Yan Kingdom to propose marriage and ask for a Crown Princess for you!"

His son was indeed the most outstanding; he actually married Nangong Wu and they even had three children.

The three children born to Nangong Wu are her grandchildren, and in the future, the entire Nanqi Kingdom will belong to her children.

So those mysterious weapons that Nangong Wu possesses will eventually end up in their Nanqi Kingdom.

In the future, his grandson will surely lead the Southern Qi Kingdom to glory and dominate the world!

Emperor Nanqi was overjoyed at this thought, and all the worries in his heart vanished in an instant.

"Father, just over two months ago, you still wanted me to marry that woman surnamed Shi." Bei Chenyan deliberately put on a wronged expression.

"Marry what? That woman isn't even worthy to carry Princess Runing's shoes." Emperor Nanqi slapped him on the head. "It's all your fault. The three children are all grown up and still haven't been registered in the imperial genealogy, leaving Princess Runing to follow you without any status or identity."

"...?" Bei Chenyan felt truly wronged.

"Father, I would like to marry her! But the princess doesn't even look at your son."

"Your Majesty, I didn't..." Nangong Wu was about to explain when Emperor Nanqi waved his hand, interrupting her:

"Princess, you don't need to speak up for him. It's all my fault for not raising this son well, causing you to suffer. Wait, I will issue an imperial decree for you today..."

Bei Chenyan hurriedly said, "Father, let's talk about this later. Aren't you going to look after the three children?"

"Yes, yes, let me see the children first." The Southern Qi Emperor beckoned to the three children, "Come quickly and let your imperial grandfather take a look."

The three children then looked at Nangong Wu.

Nangong Wu nodded, "Go!"

The three children are of royal blood from the Southern Qi Kingdom, that is an indisputable fact. It is acceptable for the children to be recognized by the Southern Qi Emperor, but she absolutely cannot leave the children here, not a single one.

When the children grow up, it is up to them to decide whether or not to acknowledge their ancestral roots.

The three children walked up to Emperor Nanqi after she nodded.

"So alike, so very alike!" Emperor Nanqi pulled Nangong Yu's hand. "Especially this one, he looks exactly like your Crown Prince."

"Father, this is Yu'er." Bei Chenyan introduced the three children to him one by one: "This is Jue'er, and Xi'er."
