Yaoyao and Yueman set out on their journey back to the Shiwan Mountains and Valleys.

Although my steps are light, my heart is extremely heavy.

The Shiwanda Mountains, the place that carried Yueya’s countless laughter and dreams, has now become her eternal home.

Liu Yaoyao personally selected a Feng Shui treasure land for Yueya. Looking at her lying there quietly, surrounded by the tranquility and beauty, she felt mixed emotions.

After burying Yueya, Yaoyao did not choose to leave immediately.

Instead, they decided to build a small thatched hut nearby as a temporary shelter.

She ordered Yueman to cut branches and collect dead grass.

The two worked together, and soon a simple but warm hut stood next to the crescent tomb.

Liu Yaoyao moved in without hesitation, as if this would bring her closer to the crescent moon.

Yueman looked at Liu Yaoyao's actions, feeling confused.

“Miss, aren’t we going to look for General Gan?

Or at least we should inform Prince Chen?"

When Liu Yaoyao heard this, her eyes instantly became deep, and the scene of Ling Chenyu and his concubine Lin Nuoer's affectionate relationship involuntarily emerged in her mind.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

If we can't be together for the rest of our lives, why force it to last forever?

Since he already has someone else, why should she trouble herself?

As for her father, he had been living well without her for more than ten years. Going to find him now would only cause him trouble.

After hearing this, Yueman was unwilling, but she also understood that Liu Yaoyao had her reasons for her decision, so she said no more.

Pang Fei, the former "traitor", has now become a subtle bond between Liu Yaoyao and Liu Jingshu.

He worked silently to build the wooden house for Liu Yaoyao every day, but he never got a good look from Liu Yaoyao.

Although Liu Yaoyao gave him the magic water on time every day, her indifference and alienation made Pang Fei feel unprecedented loss.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Pang Fei often sat alone outside the wooden house, gazing at the starry sky with mixed feelings.

He missed the time he spent with Liu Yaoyao. At that time, they were carefree and trusted each other.

But now, everything has changed.

He understood that he was a tool used by Liu Jingshu, but the safety of his family forced him to submit.

This contradiction and struggle made him feel extremely painful.

On the other side, Liu Jingshu accepted the magic water sent by Liu Yaoyao as if it were a treasure, and then hurriedly handed it to Ling Jinhan.

Ling Jinhan turned around and took the magic water into the palace and handed it to the old emperor.

The old emperor's health was already failing, but after he tasted the sweetness of the magic water, he became uncontrollable.

He looked forward to the arrival of new magic water every day, as if it was his only source of life.

However, as time went on, the emperor's health deteriorated.

It turned out that the magic water that the emperor took had long been replaced by ordinary water by Liu Yaoyao, and then tampered with by Liu Jingshu, mixing it with chronic poison.

All of this was a conspiracy carefully planned by Liu Jingshu in order to consolidate her position.

Liu Yaoyao lives a simple but comfortable life in this isolated cabin.

She would often come to Yueya's grave and tell her her thoughts, as if he had never left.

In this land full of memories, Liu Yaoyao gradually found inner peace and strength, and began to think about her future...

On the other side, after taking the magic water, the old emperor suddenly felt more tired and coughed uncontrollably.

This is a serious matter. Once something happens to the emperor, the entire palace trembles.

But the old emperor couldn't stop coughing.

But his eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, now sparkled with desire for life and obsession with power, as if they could see through all the hypocrisy and truth in the world.

In between coughing, he did not forget to give orders in his slightly hoarse voice.

"Li Bao, go check it out for me. Check it out carefully. What is Ling Jinhan doing recently? Also, is the immortality theory in the Taoist temple next to the Huguo Temple true or false?"

Eunuch Li Bao took the order and left, but he felt mixed emotions.

The older emperor became more suspicious the worse he got, fearing that one day when he woke up, this vast empire would no longer be his.

He sighed softly, but did not dare to slow down his steps even a little.

Not long after, Li Bao came back with a solemn face and a seemingly insignificant piece of paper in his hand.

Seeing this, the old emperor's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked impatiently.

"How is it? Any results?"

The old man lowered his voice and spoke carefully.

"Reporting to the emperor, there is indeed a master in the Taoist temple next to the Huguo Temple. It is said that he can make the elixir of immortality. But..."

He paused deliberately, observing the old emperor's reaction.

The old emperor couldn't stand being kept in suspense, so he asked anxiously, "But what? Tell me now!"

"But the Taoist priest has a strange temper and will not see anyone unless they are destined to be together. I, the servant, would like to ask the emperor to give me a corner of his dragon robe as a token of my sincerity."

When the old man finished speaking, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The old emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he saw hope for growth.

He immediately ordered someone to bring the dragon robe, cut off a corner of it himself, handed it to the old man, and said solemnly.

"If this is accomplished, there will be a huge reward! If not..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but the murderous intent in his eyes had already made the father-in-law shudder.

On the other hand, Concubine Ning received a secret letter from Zhang in the harem and felt mixed emotions.

It seems that the old emperor finally suspected Ling Jinhan.

Concubine Ning fumbled for the secret letter in her hand. She originally thought that with her beauty and wisdom, she could have a place in the old emperor's heart.

However, I didn’t expect that in the old emperor’s heart, the most important thing was always the dragon throne.

As for her, she was just one of many chess pieces.

She hated Ling Jinhan even more.

She originally thought that Ling Jinhan had some love for her.

Unexpectedly, after Ling Jinhan married the country girl, he treated her coldly.

Now, she has become a laughing stock in the harem.

How could she not hate this?

After thinking for a long time, she decided to use this secret letter to teach Ling Jinhan a lesson.

She secretly sent someone to invite Liu Jingshu, who was also eager for power.

She wanted to let Liu Jingshu know that Ling Jinhan's actions had caused the emperor's dissatisfaction.

And she is the one who can help him overthrow the old emperor and support him to ascend to the throne.

When Liu Jingshu received the news, she had some doubts in her heart, but she was more eager for power.

He entered the palace without hesitation, ready to conspire with Concubine Ling.
