His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

Ling Xueyuan was taken aback by the question.

Although she didn't answer, her expression undoubtedly said, "Does this need a reason?"

Mo Sangyu couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

Now that she's a mother herself, she understands that feeling to some extent.

She was willing to risk her life for Zhaozhao...

"alright."

Mo Sangyu softened her voice: "You should stay here and rest well during this time."

After saying that, she got up and walked to the table, handing the pill to Rong Yanzhi: "Father, this medicine is for you. It can help you recover your lost supernatural abilities."

Rong Yanzhi looked at the bottle of pills, his Adam's apple bobbing, and after a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Yu'er..."

"No need to say anything." Mo Sangyu stood up and patted her robes. "I know everything."

"You...you knew all along?"

Rong Yanzhi was surprised and turned to look at Ling Xueyuan, who also had a blank expression.

"There's no doubt about it. When I was administering the medicine to Mother just now, I also checked her memories. I saw everything that happened back then."

Upon hearing this, both of their expressions darkened slightly.

Rong Yanzhi tightened his grip on the medicine bottle.

Ling Xueyuan grabbed Mo Sangyu's hand and held it tightly.

Looking at their expressions, Mo Sangyu, who wasn't very good at comforting people, finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long while: "The past is the past, there's no need to think about it anymore. As long as our family stays together well from now on, that's better than anything else."

After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, turned around, and walked towards the door.

After leaving the side hall, I slowly walked back along the corridor.

The sunlight was slanted, and I couldn't feel any warmth at all.

The memories she saw in Ling Xueyuan's sea of ​​consciousness are now surfacing in her mind one by one.

Just as Mo Sangyu saw in Shen Yuheng's memory, Ling Xueyuan was killed by Shen Yuheng, but her soul did not immediately dissipate. Instead, it drifted aimlessly in the world of Cangxuan Realm.

By sheer coincidence, her soul ended up attaching itself to an inconspicuous thousand-year-old spirit stone.

It was thanks to the nourishment of this spirit stone that she was able to stabilize her gradually disintegrating soul.

Because her soul was hidden within the spirit stone, she narrowly escaped Shen Yuheng's subsequent soul-summoning technique, which was designed to kill her.

Unable to find her soul, Shen Yuheng assumed that she had been completely destroyed and could not be resurrected.

However, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, the spirit stone containing Ling Xueyuan's last glimmer of life was swept away by a sudden spacetime storm and plunged into spatial turbulence.

In the pitch-black, icy turbulence, there are no sun, moon, or stars, nor any concept of the passage of time.

Ling Xueyuan's soul was trapped inside the spirit stone, drifting in the boundless darkness for countless years.

During that time, she was in a daze and felt like her mind was about to be swallowed up.

At that time, Rong Yanzhi was nearly driven mad after losing his beloved wife.

He refused to believe that Ling Xueyuan had truly vanished, abandoning the Rong Clan and his young son and frail "daughter" as he frantically searched for Ling Xueyuan's soul.

This search lasted for several years. Anyone else might have given up long ago, but he didn't.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and he finally discovered the spatial turbulence that had been left behind by someone.

At the edge of the turbulent current, he sensed a faint soul aura belonging to Ling Xueyuan. Overwhelmed with excitement, he rushed in without regard for anything else.

He didn't think about any danger or the consequences of breaking in; he only wanted to find his wife, even if it meant death, he wanted to die with her.

Perhaps it was this determination and courage, or perhaps it was simply luck, that allowed him, amidst such dangerous turbulence, to miraculously find the spirit stone that contained Ling Xueyuan's remnant soul, relying solely on that faint trace of soul energy.

Overjoyed, they discovered that the spatial turbulence was violently fluctuating, making it impossible for them to return to their homeland.

The couple were thus trapped and eventually swept into another world.

Ling Xueyuan's soul was extremely weak, with most of her memories missing. She would completely dissipate if she was not careful.

Rong Yanzhi wandered in another world with her remnant soul, searching everywhere for a way to stabilize her soul, but he could not find a suitable soul vessel to contain her.

Later, they encountered a reclusive soul healer in the far north. The healer used a secret technique to seal Ling Xueyuan's remnant soul into a warm jade, and then placed a nurturing array in the jade, which barely preserved her soul body and prevented it from weakening further.

But that was not her true physical body, and her soul could not be completely repaired.

Rong Yanzhi could only stay by Yu Zhong's side while continuing to search for a way to bring her back to life.

In the years that followed, he tried various methods but was unable to find a suitable body for Ling Xueyuan.

Finally, in an inconspicuous village, they found the body of a woman who had recently passed away. The body was congenitally weak, but her soul had been scattered, which was just enough to accommodate Ling Xueyuan's remnant soul.

He used most of his own essence and supernatural abilities to draw Ling Xueyuan's soul from the warm jade and send it into that physical body.

When Ling Xueyuan woke up, her memory was fragmented. The only thing she remembered was the man with graying hair at his temples standing before her.

However, this physical body was congenitally damaged, with a weak foundation, and was chronically weak and sickly.

In addition, her own soul was also damaged. After being reborn, her body became even weaker, and she suffered from chronic blood and qi deficiency, making it difficult for her to cultivate.

Under Rong Yanzhi's meticulous care, although he was unable to cultivate, his body gradually recovered and his memories gradually returned.

The moment Ling Xueyuan regained her memory, she told Rong Yanzhi about what Shen Yuheng had done. Only then did Rong Yanzhi realize that the soul inside the child who remained in the Rong clan had been replaced by someone else.

After Ling Xueyuan regained her memory, she was still heartbroken, but Rong Yanzhi told her that their daughter might not be dead yet.

When his daughter was born, he used his special ability to create a jade pendant as a gift for her. Later, after his daughter fell seriously ill, the jade pendant disappeared.

At the time, he also found it strange and suspected that it might have been stolen by someone, but then Ling Xueyuan had an accident, so he stopped paying attention to the jade pendant.

Looking back now, it's very likely that my daughter's soul disappeared along with the jade pendant at that time.

It was this glimmer of hope that sustained Ling Xueyuan and made her stronger.

With the information from the jade pendant, and after several twists and turns, they accidentally stumbled into the modern world.

In modern times, guided by the jade pendant, they quickly found the Hidden Alien Clan and learned that Mo Sangyu had been adopted by a couple surnamed Mo after being stranded in the modern world.

However, just when they thought they would be reunited with their daughter, they learned that she had left the Hidden Clan at a very young age, and even her adoptive parents did not know where she was. So they did not reveal their identities and searched for her in secret.

Time passed year after year. After making inquiries from various sources, they finally got a clue, but when they went to look for her, Mo Sangyu had disappeared again.

This time, she disappeared without a trace, and no one knows where she went afterward.

What's even more frustrating is that the jade pendant wasn't with her either. Without the pendant's aura, finding her was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The jade pendant remained in the hands of her adoptive parents. To repay their kindness in raising their daughter, they did not take it upon themselves to retrieve it.

And so, for the next few years, there was no further news about their daughter. They originally planned to leave and go elsewhere, or perhaps return to Cangxuan Realm to take a look.

Unfortunately, the spatial turbulence that was forcibly opened by someone back then has become extremely unstable in recent years, and its danger level is ten thousand times higher than before. If you enter rashly, you will not only get lost, but you may also be torn apart inside.

With Ling Xueyuan, who had no ability to protect herself, Rong Yanzhi dared not take any risks.

And so they were forced to stay there, continuing their search for their daughter while keeping an eye on the changes in the spatial turbulence.

Until six months ago, it was finally discovered that the spatial turbulence had subsided.

Only then were they able to leave, which was the time when Mo Sangyu obtained the jade pendant and sensed Rong Yanzhi's aura. Unfortunately, when she rushed over, she was once again a step too late.

Fortunately, they returned to Cangxuan Realm smoothly and naturally learned about the events of the past two years, including Mo Sangyu's return and the killing of Shen Yuheng and the imposter who had usurped the position.

Not only that, but together with all the inheritors of the Yun Clan's supernatural abilities, they established a dynasty on the Nine Provinces Continent and gained their own power.

Unfortunately……

We still couldn't meet.

Knowing that they would be back soon after leaving, Ling Xueyuan's heart calmed down a little, and she waited for them to return in Cangxuan Realm with a peaceful mind.

When Mo Sangyu saw these memories, it was like a fleeting glance. However, only those who experienced all of this know how painful and unbearable the situation and feelings were at that time.

Mo Sangyu sat alone under the eaves.

Those memories surged up and receded like the tide, leaving behind a damp sense of melancholy.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart; there was heartache, guilt, and a hint of unspeakable relief.

I'm so glad they're still alive, and I'm so glad I still have a chance to make up for all of this.

When Feng Xingyu came out of the Imperial Study, he saw her sitting there alone from afar.

He walked over and sat down beside her, without asking any questions, simply sitting quietly with her.

Mo Sangyu turned her head to look at him, then moved closer to him, gently leaning on his shoulder, closing her eyes, and letting out a long breath.

A month later, the wedding date was finally set.

The ceremony was held on the sixth day of the eleventh month in Cangxuan Realm.

According to custom, the Rong tribe must receive the person and bring them to the Yun tribe to complete the marriage.

Feng Xingyu began arranging his itinerary in advance. This time, Gu Jinzhi and others would also be attending the wedding. Although the emperor and empress's wedding would not be held on the Nine Provinces Continent, they would still have to take a wedding leave.

The court officials will have a seven-day holiday, while other officials will continue to work as usual.

Upon receiving the wedding invitation, Yueying and Feng Tingye immediately set off from the capital, traveling day and night to Wudu to join everyone.

Chu Canglan and Yin Yue had just left not long ago, but upon receiving the news of their marriage, they turned back without saying a word.

This wedding was destined to be a grand and lively affair.

Luo Ming finally decided to return from Cangwu Kingdom.

He was researching a rare epidemic there, but Yan Qing and the others wrote him three letters urging him to leave. Only then did he reluctantly pack his bags and set off, traveling a long and dusty journey back to Wudu.

Jiang Shiyu followed him all the way back, never leaving his side, like a little tail that she couldn't shake off.

The first thing Luo Ming did upon entering the palace was to head straight to Zhaohua Palace to see Mo Sangyu.

He stood at the palace gate, his robes still dusty from his journey, and his first words were: "Your Majesty, I heard you brought me a new medical book. Where is it?"

Mo Sangyu leaned back in her chair, giving him a lazy glance: "Weren't you doing quite well in Cangwu Kingdom? Why did you come back?"

"Look at what Your Majesty is saying. I'm just here to learn their medical skills. Once I've learned them, I'll naturally go home."

Luo Ming sensed the danger and reacted incredibly quickly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I was born a subject of the Great Chen Dynasty, and I will die a subject of the Great Chen Dynasty's spirit..."

Before he could finish speaking, an angry voice came from behind him: "Luo Ming, what did you say? Whose man are you?"

Jiang Shi rushed in, but when she saw Mo Sangyu sitting at the head of the table, she paused and first gave a proper bow.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

After the ceremony, she straightened up, immediately changed her expression, and said in a voice that was both angry and aggrieved, "Your Majesty, you must stand up for me."

Mo Sangyu had just picked up her teacup and taken a sip, and hadn't even had a chance to put it down yet.

Jiang Shiyu sniffed: "Luo Ming... he slept with me and doesn't want to take responsibility!"

"puff……"

Mo Sangyu spat out a mouthful of tea, put down the teacup, coughed twice, and widened his eyes: "What did you say? When did this happen?"

"Just last night... at the Luo residence, we rushed back late, and he said he was tired from the journey and wanted to have some drinks to relax... and then... and then this morning I woke up in his bed, and he was nowhere to be seen!"

As Jiang Shiyu spoke, her eyes reddened, and she glared fiercely at Luo Ming: "What do you mean? You don't want to take responsibility after sleeping with me?"

Luo Ming stood to the side, his face from ear to neck root, his lips moved several times, but he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence.

He wanted to explain that nothing had happened, but since a man and a woman had shared a bed all night, even if nothing had really happened, it would be the same for the girl.

"You...you stop talking."

His face flushed red, he lowered his head, and his voice sounded like it was being squeezed out of his throat: "...I will take responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyu's eyes welled up with tears, but she managed to hold them back. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, but she quickly suppressed them.

Mo Sangyu leaned back in her chair, watching the scene before her. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice and gave Luo Ming a half-smile.

"Dr. Luo, this is where you're wrong. So much time has passed, Yuan Zhao and Han Xiao are already married. You've delayed the princess for so long, you should have taken responsibility long ago."

"I……"

Luo Ming stepped forward, gently tugged at Jiang Shiyu's sleeve, and whispered, "Princess, I didn't mean to shirk responsibility, please don't be angry."

Having spent so much time together, he had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to tell her about the marriage between the two countries after returning to China, given her special status. But before he could say anything, something like what happened last night occurred.

This morning, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to wake her...

"real?"

Seeing this, Jiang Shiyu's expression softened slightly: "You're willing to marry me?"

"Princess."

Luo Ming didn't care about anything else and pulled her a few steps to the side. After making sure Mo Sangyu couldn't hear him, he whispered, "These kinds of words should be spoken by a man. It's my fault for making you wait so long. After His Majesty and the Empress's wedding is over, I will ask the Empress to formally propose marriage to your father."

For the Empress of Da Chen to step forward, it was already the greatest show of respect and sincerity that the Cangwu Kingdom had shown.

Jiang Shiyu's face turned from white to red, and when she lowered her head, a hint of apology flashed in her bright eyes.

She thought he didn't want to, so she...

"Have you appeased them?"
