A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, the moment of parting arrived. Su Fuliu looked at Bai Yulang with tears in her eyes and choked out, "Brother is leaving. Shilang, you must take good care of yourself. Listen to Doctor Lu. Don't be naughty or fool around."
When Bai Yulang saw Su Fuliu crying, he couldn't help but shed tears as well: "I know, brother. You too, you must take good care of yourself and stay with your Tinglang. Don't trust anyone else, there are a lot of bad people around these days, so don't get kidnapped."
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, with Tinglang around, no one dares to kidnap me."
“That’s true. Who would dare to kidnap you? They’d skin them alive and hang them on the city wall.” As he spoke, Bai Yulang looked at Feng Muting. “You stinking prince, you just kidnapped my brother like that. You’d better treat him well from now on. If you dare to make him suffer any injustice, I’ll never forgive you.”

"Rest assured, I would rather suffer myself than let A-Liu suffer even the slightest grievance," Feng Muting said with a serious expression.
Bai Yulang nodded in satisfaction, then said to Su Fuliu, "Brother, don't be afraid. Xiao Kingdom has your back. If that stinky prince dares to bully you again, pack your bags and go back to Xiao Kingdom. I'll make sure he never sees you again!"
Su Fuliu smiled and said, "Well, but Tinglang won't bully me, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Won't bully you? Are you sure? He clearly feels uneasy if he doesn't 'bully' you for a day." Bai Yulang snorted.
"Shilang!" Su Fuliu blushed, scolded Bai Yulang, and then turned to Lu Chimo to explain, "Dr. Lu, I'm entrusting Shilang to your care from now on. You've seen his condition, so I hope you can be more tolerant. If he makes any mistakes, please forgive him and don't be angry with him or hurt his feelings. However, I believe Shilang won't make you furious."
Lu Chimo looked at Su Fuliu, who had given a lot of instructions, and smiled: "Young Master Su, there's no need to worry. Yulang's current temper is actually something I've indulged. Since I've indulged him, why would I be angry? Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yulang. When we meet again, Yulang may become Guolang."
"Huh? Guolang?" Su Fuliu didn't understand.
Even Bai Yulang, who was usually quite clever, didn't understand: "What is Senior Brother talking about?"
Feng Muting snorted lightly: "I will take good care of A Liu. Next time we meet, A Liu can become A Mu Mao."
Su Fuliu and Bai Yulang were both dumbfounded.
Wen Hongye and Gu Xingchen, who were standing to the side, also looked bewildered.
Su Yan racked his brains trying to understand what Lu Chimo and Feng Muting were saying, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
Xie Chen chuckled lightly: "What Your Highness and Doctor Lu mean is that they will take good care of the Princess and Young Master Bai, and fatten them up, just like I fattened up my brother. Once the Princess is fat and plump, she will become Amu Mao, and if Young Master Bai gets a little fatter, he will become a 'country'."
After Xie Chen's explanation, everyone understood.
Wen Hongye and Gu Xingchen were amused and chuckled in unison.
After Su Fuliu understood the meaning of "Amu Mao", she was both amused and exasperated.
Bai Yulang burst into laughter, then took Lu Chimo's arm and said, "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be so humorous! How many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Feng Muting glanced at Bai Yulang with disdain, then put his arm around Su Fuliu and said, "Aliu must have many surprises that I don't know, but don't worry, when we get back I will have plenty of time and opportunities to get to know Aliu better."
Su Fuliu felt her ears burning because Feng Muting emphasized the word "deep," which made it hard not to misunderstand.
After saying goodbye, Feng Muting and Su Fuliu returned to Feng Kingdom.
Gu Xingchen and Wen Hongye did not return to Feng Kingdom with them, but instead returned to Lijiang.
Wen Hongye wanted to return to his master's former residence, the place where he grew up.
Gu Xingchen naturally followed him, no matter where they went, as long as they were together.
Su Fuliu returned to the long-lost Tingwang Mansion. Standing at the gate, he looked up at the three large characters "Tingwang Mansion" and felt as if several lifetimes had passed since he last left.
In an instant, the fog blurred my vision, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
Chapter 627 Liu Bao
“Ah Liu…” Feng Muting looked at Su Fuliu, who was crying, and laughed, “You little crybaby, you start crying as soon as you get back, right here at the gate. Anyone who doesn’t know better would think I did something to you. Alright, alright, stop crying. We’re back. Everything… has settled down. Nothing can stop us anymore.”
"Hmm." Su Fuliu actually had a lot to say, but at this moment he just wanted to cry. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and all he could make out was sobbing. He couldn't say anything at all.
Finally, he stopped talking and threw himself into Feng Muting's arms, crying his heart out, regardless of whether they were at the main gate of the Prince's mansion.
Although he had already cried his heart out in Xiao Kingdom because things had finally settled down, his state of mind was somewhat different now that he had returned to Feng Kingdom.
He met Feng Muting here, and now that they've returned, everything has settled down. He and Feng Muting can finally be together peacefully and happily from now on.
Feng Muting suddenly picked Su Fuliu up in his arms. The sudden action startled Su Fuliu so much that he forgot to cry. He instinctively wrapped his arms around Feng Muting's neck, his eyes still red and watery.
Feng Muting burst into laughter and said, "Liu Bao, we're going home. All the unhappiness has vanished with the wind. From now on, my Liu Bao will only have happiness, joy, peace, health, and her beloved Ting Lang by her side."
Hearing these words, Su Fuliu was deeply moved. He had originally wanted to smile happily, but instead he couldn't help but cry.
He still couldn't say a word; he just wanted to cry.
He leaned tightly against Feng Muting's chest, his clothes soaked with tears.
Feng Muting carried him into the palace, into the place that witnessed their meeting and falling in love.
Only after returning to her room could Su Fuliu speak, but she couldn't say anything else, only crying and calling out the two words etched in her heart: "Tinglang, Tinglang, Tinglang..."
After Su Fuliu calmed down, Feng Muting said, "Liu Bao, we should go to the palace to see Father Emperor and Aunt Xu."
"Mmm." That "Liu Bao" made Su Fuliu feel as sweet as if her heart was filled with honey.
Afterwards, the two went to the palace together again.
The Emperor and Xu Jiaolong, who was heavily pregnant, were overjoyed to learn of their return.
Feng Muting and Su Fuliu walked in together, cupping their hands in greeting and saying, "Father, Aunt Xu."
This time, Su Fuliu and Feng Muting shouted the same thing.
Xu Jiaolong looked at the two of them and said, "I really didn't expect that Shi'er is so capable, she actually managed to bring back the Crown Prince of Xiao Kingdom."
The Emperor snorted: "I knew this brat's sudden awakening and desire to ascend the throne was suspicious. But don't think that just because things are settled, you can back out of your plans. No way. I will pass the throne to you tomorrow, so you can go and stay with your Aunt Xu in peace. She's about to give birth, and I must stay by her side every step of the way."
Feng Muting really did have this plan, intending to let the emperor continue to work hard as emperor so that he and Su Fuliu could enjoy their life together.
Before he could even finish speaking, the emperor's words shut him down.
“Yes…” Feng Muting replied.
Seeing his displeased expression, the Emperor snorted again and asked, "Where is Grand Preceptor Lu?"
Chapter 628 Look at you, so pathetic.
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting couldn't help but smile: "The Grand Preceptor Lu has stayed in Xiao Kingdom to become the Empress."
The Emperor was taken aback: "This...is this a roundabout way of bringing it over and sending it over?"
Xu Jiaolong laughed and said, "We'll only make money. Little Su is the Crown Prince of Xiao Kingdom. From now on, it will be 'Lu Chimo in the South and Xiao Shijing in the North'."
"Alright then, now that Ting'er is back, I'll have time to spend with you properly," the Emperor said expectantly, holding Xu Jiaolong's hand.
Feng Muting pouted: "Father, there's no need to be in such a hurry..."
"I'm anxious, I'm very anxious. You'd better calm down. Tomorrow I will abdicate and hand over the entire Feng Kingdom to you. But judging from how you're only interested in romance now, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on Xiao Su for help in the future." The Emperor said, looking at him with disdain.
Su Fuliu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Father, rest assured, your son will take good care of him."
The emperor raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Feng Muting explained, "Your subject and Liu Bao have already married in the Xiao Kingdom."
"You're quick to act, aren't you? Are you afraid they won't come back with you?" the Emperor sneered.
Feng Muting replied, "If Liu Bao doesn't come back with me, then I will stay there to accompany him and become his empress. It will be hard on Father Emperor then."
"Look at your pathetic self." The Emperor looked at Feng Muting with disdain, then turned to Su Fuliu and said, "It seems that Su will have to keep a close eye on him from now on, otherwise, with him like this, won't the affairs of the court be in chaos?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep a close eye on him," Su Fuliu replied, bowing respectfully.
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction: "Little Su is so well-behaved and sensible. How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing son?"
Xu Jiaolong smiled and said, "Shi'er is doing quite well. Didn't you bring back the well-behaved and sensible Xiao Su? With Xiao Su around, Ting'er will naturally behave."
And so, Feng Muting became the emperor of Feng Kingdom as a matter of course, and Su Fuliu became the empress of Feng Kingdom. This was the first time in history. The officials were in an uproar, but no one dared to say a word, because Feng Muting had already made a harsh statement. If he heard anyone say a bad word about Su Fuliu, he would skin that person alive, tear out their tendons, and hang them on the city wall to dry in the wind.
Time flew by, and it was time for Xu Jiaolong to give birth.
The retired emperor paced anxiously back and forth outside the palace, extremely worried.
Feng Muting and Su Fuliu stayed by his side.
Su Fuliu comforted him, "Father, don't worry too much. Aunt Xu and the child will be fine."
The Emperor Emeritus nodded: "I am nervous, very nervous."
As he spoke, he glared at Feng Muting and said, "If you weren't counting on me, would I be so nervous right now? Look how much pain your Aunt Xu is in."
Feng Muting pouted: "Father, what are you saying? Isn't it you whom Aunt Xu dotes on? He gave birth to your son."
The Emperor Emeritus choked, then raised his hand and slapped Feng Muting on the back of the head: "Isn't it because you insisted on having a younger brother!"
Feng Muting coughed lightly and said, "Father, please don't lecture me like that in front of Liu Bao. Give me some face."
"It's precisely because of him that I don't need to consider your feelings." As he spoke, the Emperor Emeritus looked at Su Fuliu again, "When you have nothing to do, beat him up for me and help me vent my anger. That brat is just too deserving of a beating."
Su Fuliu chuckled lightly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
The Emperor Emeritus nodded: "Go ahead and beat him without worry. He won't dare to fight back."
"Are you my biological father, the Emperor?" Feng Muting asked speechlessly.
"Liu Baocai is my good son, get out of my way!" The Emperor Emeritus gave Feng Muting a disdainful look, then continued to wait anxiously.
"..." Feng Muting was speechless again.
Su Fuliu couldn't help but chuckle at his embarrassed expression.
Seeing that he was laughing at him, Feng Muting leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Liu Bao dares to laugh at me? Does he not want to get out of bed tomorrow?"
Su Fuliu paused, then immediately stopped smiling.
Chapter 629 The Sun Shines Just Right, Happiness Is Just Right (End of Main Text)
Just then, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the hall. The Emperor Emeritus breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed in, crying out, "My darling, my darling!"
Feng Muting and Su Fuliu followed them inside and saw the Emperor Emeritus sitting by the bed, completely devoted to Xu Jiaolong.
The midwife stood to the side holding the baby, wanting him to see the child, but seeing him talking to Xu Jiaolong, she didn't dare to interrupt.
Su Fuliu, however, said, "Bring the child here so I can see him."
