The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muqing hesitated, "But, does King Dingbei really not mind if Jin Tang and I go somewhere else?"

"Please relax, big sister. Firstly, Yu Wantai is not a narrow-minded person. Secondly, although my relationship with him is not as good as before, he will still give me some face." Yan Muxi comforted her with affirmative words.

Yan Muqing suddenly recalled a scene that happened in her previous life. "In fact, the so-called precognitive dream is my personal experience in my previous life. I have lived two lives, so of course, it can also be understood as a dream from my previous life. In the dream, when everyone in the East Palace was imprisoned, King Dingbei sneaked into the palace and wanted to rescue Jintang and me, but we refused. Perhaps it is true as my second sister said, King Dingbei is indeed a truly open-minded person."

Yan Muxi didn't expect such an episode. After thinking about it, she expressed her guess, "Yu Wantai and Yan Yongchen had already reached a consensus. It is very likely that it was Yan Yongchen, not Yu Wantai, who wanted to save my elder sister and brother-in-law. It was Yan Yongchen who wanted to spare your lives."

Yan Yongchen was able to spare Mingxin, Su and Yan Mucheng in this life. He must have tried to save their lives in his previous life, but failed.

Having carried a blood feud since childhood, Yan Yongchen seems to act ruthlessly and decisively, but in fact he always leaves a way out for everything. This shows that he is not a truly cold-hearted person.

After talking it out, Yan Muqing finally decided to accept Yan Muxi's help.

Considering Yu Jintang's illness, Yan Muxi did not bring the two back to Luodu. Instead, he found a quiet courtyard in a nearby town and arranged for them to stay temporarily. He also left Lichun to seek medical treatment and medicine for them.

After returning to the courtyard at dark, Yan Muxi asked Minghui to leave the city overnight. Yu Jintang's illness could not be delayed and must be treated as soon as possible.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Dongyu's injuries have almost recovered and he can walk on his own. Every day when he sees Yan Muxi, he asks when they will leave for Huadao.

Whenever Yan Muxi heard Dongyu say that she missed Dahuang and her son and wanted to go back to Huadao immediately, she would worry for Ruyi.

Dongyu's injuries are not very good, so it will be difficult for her to conceive in the future.

Ruyi knew about Dongyu's injury, but she seemed not to care at all. She ran to the courtyard three times a day and gave all the good things she got to Dongyu, which showed that she really cared about Dongyu.

But Dongyu seemed to not understand other people's feelings. She kept shouting that she wanted to go back to Huadao, and regarded Dahuang and his mother as more important than her sweetheart.

That day, hearing Dongyu talking about wanting to go back to Huadao again, Yan Muxi advised helplessly, "Silly Dongyu, it's hard to find a soulmate in this world. If you miss him/her, you may never find him/her again."

Unexpectedly, Dongyu asked back, "Why don't you want to face King Dingbei?"

Yan Muxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I'm different."

Dong Yu also narrowed her eyes and smiled, with bitterness in her smile, "What's the difference? Miss feels that her reputation is too bad and she is no longer worthy of being on par with King Dingbei. And my current shabby body is not suitable for being a wife anymore. Rather than becoming a couple of resentful couples in the future, it is better to live a free and relaxed life alone."

Yan Muxi advised with distressed eyes, "Dongyu, you just hurt your uterus, it's not absolutely impossible to have children. Besides, Ruyi knew your physical condition from the beginning, even if you don't have children in the future, he should be able to accept it."

Dongyu injured himself because he risked his life to save her. If she missed this good opportunity, she would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Miss, I'm not sure whether he can accept the torture of not having children in the end, so there's no need for me to take the risk. Miss, please don't persuade me anymore. Now I just want to go back to Hua Island. I dream of going back to Hua Island. It's worthwhile to sacrifice one person and live a happy life for the rest of my life." Dong Yu pretended to be relaxed, but the reluctance and torment in her eyes could not be deceived.

If Ruyi was just an ordinary slave with no children, it would be fine, but he followed Yu Wantai in his battles, and when Yu Wantai becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely be given an official position.

As an official without children, he will not only face an empty family in the future, but also be ridiculed by colleagues and even face temptations from all sides.

Dongyu thinks that he is not good-looking, nor does he have the brains or means to deal with trouble, and he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life fried in a frying pan.

Yan Muxi thought about it and didn't try to persuade him anymore.

If Ruyi really wanted to marry Dongyu, she would not give up easily. If she gave up easily, she would not have to push Dongyu away. Dongyu still had a long life ahead of her, and she had plenty of time to find someone close to her.

By mid-May, Dongyu's injuries had basically recovered, and Yu Jintang's condition had temporarily stabilized, so the group planned to return to Huadao.

The day before leaving, Yan Muxi met Yu Wantai.

The two were in the alley in front of the courtyard, chatting as they walked like old friends.

Yu Wantai had heard from others that Yan Muxi was leaving, but when he heard her say it herself, he still felt empty and uncomfortable.

"Can you not leave?" Yu Wantai asked cautiously.

Yan Muxi shook his head, "No."

Yu Wantai paused, turned his head and stared at her, his eyes hopeful, "Then after you leave, will you come back?"

Yan Muxi still shook his head, "I don't know."

The hope in Yu Wantai's eyes turned into confusion, "Why do you have to do this? Xixi, you cast a spell on me and raised money for my military supplies. You obviously still care about me, so why do you have to leave me? Whatever you want, whatever you want me to do, I can satisfy you. I can agree to any request you make... Don't leave me, okay?" At the end, there was a humble plea in his tone.

Yan Muxi took a deep breath and asked bluntly, "You keep asking me to stay, but I wonder in what capacity do you want me to stay?"

Yu Wantai answered without hesitation, "Of course the queen. If I sit on the throne, you will be my queen."

"Empress!" Bitterness rippled in Yan Muxi's eyes. "Not to mention whether I am willing to transform from the previous emperor's evil concubine to your evil queen, you haven't even ascended the throne yet. Can you bear the people's curses, the literati's criticisms, and the court officials' threats of death?"

"If I can't even protect you, Xixi, what's the point of me ascending the throne?"

"Am I that important to the prince?"

Yu Wantai nodded without hesitation, "Xixi, you are very important to me, much more important than you think. If you don't want to sit on the throne, I won't be the emperor and will accompany you wherever you want to go, as long as you are willing."

Facing the tearful peach blossom eyes, Yan Muxi couldn't help but shed tears, "Your Highness, you have the courage to take the throne after risking your life, and now you just give it up. But are you sure you won't regret your decision today in the future?"

"No regrets." Yu Wantai's expression and tone were extremely firm, for fear that Yan Muxi would have the slightest doubt about him.

Knowing his attitude, Yan Muxi felt relieved, but still said, "Okay, even if you don't regret it, I don't want to see you hand over the power that is within your grasp. Don't be stupid. Wasn't the lesson from your father tragic enough? In today's world, only those who hold power can fully control their own destiny. Listen to my advice. You should first sit firmly on the throne. It will not be too late to talk about other things when you really have power in your hands in the future."

"But I don't want to choose between imperial power and you. I won't separate from you." The pleading in Yu Wantai's eyes turned into begging.

Yan Muxi suppressed the reluctance in his heart, smiled with tears in his eyes and made a promise, "If you do a good job as an emperor, I might come back."
