Tuoba Xuan was originally filled with anger, but after hearing Mo Xiao's words, this anger was instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water.

He stood there in a daze, and for the first time, an emotion called helplessness appeared on his face.

Mo Xiao was right, his mother didn't belong here, she was trafficked here. Even her birth was not her own choice.

Tuoba Xuan suddenly felt scared, he didn't even dare to look up at his mother's expression.

After a while, his cold hand was suddenly held by a warm hand. The other person's hand was not big, but the temperature was so hot that tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.

His mother stepped forward at this time.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I... will not go back." The woman with a somewhat vicissitudes of life face tightly held her son's hand and said softly, "I have already lost my parents, I can't lose my child again. It is my regret that I can't serve my parents at their knees, and I can't let my son be without a mother again."

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned to look at her son and said, "I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere."

Tuoba Xuan's world became bright again. The words from the man in front of him instantly dispelled all his fears. He was speechless and could only hold his mother's hand tightly.

Mo Xiao looked at the mother and son, and was silent for a moment before he sighed and said softly, "Since this is the old lady's decision, I have nothing to say. I hope you can live happily here."

After a pause, he added: "However, my words are always valid. As long as you are willing, I will send someone to take you home."

The old woman was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Tuoba Xuan comforted his mother and had her sent back to rest. Then he and Mo Xiao were the only ones left in the yard.

Mo Xiao sat on a chair, drinking tea slowly, waiting for Tuoba Xuan beside him.

Tuoba Xuan was silent for a long time. He had a lot to say, but at this moment he couldn't say it. It seemed that something was wrong.

Mo Xiao waited for a while, and seeing that Tuoba Xuan still didn't speak, he curled his lips and asked, "Did you come here to ask me something?"

Tuoba Xuan: "..."

"You are here for Princess Yunyang, right?"

Princess Yunyang is Tuoba Yu, who had just been competing with Tuoba Xuan.

Tuoba Xuan finally found his voice. He looked at Mo Xiao and asked softly, "Why? Because I killed my father and committed treason, so I am not trustworthy?"

However, Mo Xiao also contributed a lot to his current situation. It was Mo Xiao who pushed him to this point step by step.

Tuoba Xuan had a rage in his heart that he couldn't put out.

Mo Xiao looked at him for a while, then slowly shook his head: "On the contrary, I trust you very much."

Tuoba Xuan didn't believe it: "Then why..."

"But people's hearts are fickle, I can't take the gamble." Mo Xiao interrupted Tuoba Xuan and said slowly.

Tuoba Xuan is very trustworthy now, but as time goes by, Tuoba Xuan's control over the royal court deepens, and under the erosion of wealth and power, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be many changes.

Tuoba Xuan opened his mouth, and then found that he could not refute.

Mo Xiao smiled and said to Tuoba Xuan: "So, it's not that I don't trust you. I hope you understand this."

"As for Princess Yunyang..." Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, "When nothing happens, you can just treat her as a toy and don't care about her. When something happens, if you use her well, she will be your life-saving talisman. If you don't use her well... she will be your death warrant."
