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

"Yu'er, Jue'er, Xi'er." Emperor Nanqi opened his arms and caught the three children who ran towards him.

"Grandfather, Xi'er misses you so much." Nangong Xi kissed the Emperor of Nanqi on the cheek.

"Xi'er has the sweetest mouth, and your grandfather misses you all too." Emperor Nanqi kissed the three children's cheeks.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu bowed in greeting.

Upon hearing this, the three children immediately lined up and respectfully greeted the Emperor of Southern Qi.

"Grandson greets His Majesty the Emperor."

"No need for formalities." Emperor Nanqi helped the three children up. "So well-behaved."

Nangong Wu walked to a medical cart and picked up Emperor Nanqi's medical record to look at it.

"Master, so far His Majesty has not shown any signs of rejection or infection. The blood drug concentration has fluctuated somewhat, but it is within the normal range," Aiqi said from the side.

"The first three months after surgery are a high-risk period. It's been two months now, and all the indicators are within the ideal range. I'll have His Majesty undergo another check-up tomorrow morning." Nangong Wu put down the medical record.

Seeing that the Southern Qi Emperor was pleased with the three children and was distributing many treasures to them, she said to Bei Chenyan, "Why don't we go see the Empress first?"

Upon hearing her words, Eunuch Yu, who was standing nearby, reported to Bei Chen Yan: "Your Highness, the kitchen has already delivered dinner."

"Then let's have dinner first." Emperor Nanqi stood up. "Eunuch Yu, please set the table!"

"Yes." Eunuch Yu withdrew.

"Once your mother recovers, I will dine with her." Emperor Nanqi sighed softly, thinking of Empress Wan, who was suffering from numerous ailments.

"Father, Mother is much better now, and her illness will definitely be cured," Bei Chenyan reassured him.

"Hmm." Emperor Nanqi turned his gaze to Nangong Wu. "Princess Runing, I'm giving you my crown prince! I guarantee he's absolutely clean."

He used to refuse to marry no matter what, and he didn't even have a woman by his side. Shi Peiqiong gave him such a vicious drug, but he still refused to touch her. I thought he didn't like women, but now it seems that his time just hasn't come yet.

"For the sake of your three children, please accept him! Once Runan City is built and you ascend the throne, you can make him your imperial consort. I will give him the entire Southern Qi Kingdom as a betrothal gift."

In any case, the Beichen clan's empire is going to be given to the three children. As long as Nangong Wu is willing to take her son as her consort, what's wrong with using the Nanqi Kingdom as a betrothal gift?

"What? You want to use the Southern Qi Kingdom as a betrothal gift!" Nangong Wu was stunned, not expecting the Southern Qi Emperor to say such a thing.

"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a nation, you must not make such jokes."

"I'm not joking." Emperor Nanqi glared at Bei Chenyan, who was standing to the side, with a look of disappointment.

Bei Chenyan was startled and knelt down in front of Nangong Wu, lifting his robe.

"Nangong Wu, I truly want to marry you. Please give me a chance! It was wrong of me to hide my identity and stay with you and the children. I beg you for forgiveness!"

"..." Nangong Wu took a step back, "Don't do this."

Aiqi leaned close to Nangong Wu's ear and chuckled, "Master, this crown prince is a bit simple-minded."

"Your Highness, this is indeed your fault. You clearly knew that the three children were yours, but you did not confess to the princess. You have no sense of responsibility as a man. No wonder the princess does not want you." Emperor Nanqi pointed at Bei Chenyan's head and scolded.

"Father, I know I was wrong." Bei Chenyan admitted his mistake.

"Mother..."

The three children ran over and grabbed Nangong Wu's hands, looking at her expectantly.

"Princess Runing, my son is clumsy with words and doesn't know how to say nice things, but his character is absolutely impeccable. You've been together for several years, so you should know what kind of person he is."

"Today, I propose marriage to you on his behalf, so that the three children may have both parents and a complete family." The Emperor of Southern Qi bowed slightly to Nangong Wu.

"Your Majesty need not do this." Nangong Wu stepped aside to avoid his bow. "I am very busy right now and do not want to think about marriage."

Seeing that she did not refuse, Bei Chenyan was overjoyed. "I can wait."

"Of course." Emperor Nanqi smiled. "Once Runan City is completed, I will personally go to propose marriage."

Nangong Xi was delighted to hear this. "Mother, does that mean we'll have Father and Mother to keep us company from now on, just like Luo Yushao and Huo Chengzhi?"

Nangong Wu looked at the three pairs of expectant eyes of the children and remained silent.

Seeing Bei Chenyan kneeling there looking pitiful, Nangong Yu pulled him up, saying, "Father, get up."

At this moment, the kitchen staff brought the meal.

"Let's have a meal first." Emperor Nanqi was in a great mood.

Fortunately, fate was kind to the Beichen family, and by a twist of fate, their son had three children with Nangong Wu.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for his son to marry Nangong Wu.

After dinner, it was already very late, so Nangong Wu decided to visit Empress Wan again the next day and instructed Emperor Nanqi and Empress Wan to wait for the examination on an empty stomach the next morning.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu took the three children back to the East Palace.

Nangong Jue and Nangong Xi hadn't seen Bei Chen Yan for a long time, and they held his hand and talked non-stop along the way. Only Nangong Yu was relatively quiet, following quietly beside Nangong Wu.

Bei Chenyan took the mother and her three children to Yongming Palace. No matter which palace they went to, Nangong Wu always went into her spatial dimension to sleep.

Just as they entered the main hall, Huo Jing suddenly emerged from the spatial dimension.

Bei Chenyan was taken aback when he saw him, and quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Your Highness, so you've come too."

"Get up!" Huo Jing raised his hand and said to Nangong Wu, "Wuwu, it's getting late. You should take the three children inside first!"

"Okay." Knowing that her father had something to say to Bei Chenyan, Nangong Wu led the three children into the space first.

The next morning, Nangong Wu got up, washed up, and left the space.

They found Bei Chenyan already dressed and standing in the bedchamber. Today he was wearing a purple brocade robe, which was exquisitely crafted. He was tall and slender, handsome and noble.

"You didn't go to court?"

"Nothing serious, so I came back early from court." Bei Chenyan turned to look at her. "The prince didn't go back to his space last night; he rested in the side hall."

"Father hasn't returned to the space." Nangong Wu sensed the space and, sure enough, there was no trace of her father.

"Your Highness wanted to see my Eastern Palace, which is why you didn't return to your spatial dimension. Don't worry! My Eastern Palace is absolutely safe," Bei Chenyan said.

"Let's go then!" Nangong Wu stepped out.

"Where should we go first?" Bei Chenyan followed her.

"Let's go to Luanfeng Palace first."

We'll just draw some blood from Empress Wan first, it'll be quick, and then we can send it into the space for Eileen to help with the analysis.

Inside the Luanfeng Palace, Empress Wan had already received the news and got up to wait.

When Empress Wan saw Nangong Wu, she wanted to ask about the three children, but seeing that Nangong Wu was wearing a mask covering her mouth and nose, she knew that her illness was contagious, so she didn't speak.
