Fragrant willow catkins

The Queen Mother stood on the dry well, hesitating.

"lady!"

Hearing the late emperor's call, the empress dowager turned around abruptly, lost her balance, and fell into the well. Fortunately, the late emperor reacted quickly and carried her down from the well.

But the green jade pendant in the Queen Mother's hand was not so lucky. It fell at the junction of the wellhead and the light, breaking into two pieces, and one half disappeared with the light.

The late emperor: "Madam! If you have anything that makes you unhappy, tell me. You can't commit suicide."

The Queen Mother: "Which eye of yours saw me committing suicide?"

Standing up, the empress dowager picked up the half-remaining jade pendant on the ground and held her forehead in despair. How could a sacred artifact break into pieces?

The late emperor came to the Queen Mother and looked at the jade pendant in her hand. He knew that he had done something wrong...

The late emperor: "Then why are you standing by the well..."

"Hey... I tell you the truth, I am not a goddess from heaven, I come from another world. Tonight, I was guided by the green jade pendant and came to the dry well. That dry well was my only way back. Now, half of the green jade pendant has gone back in my place!" The Queen Mother's tone was full of despair.

It doesn't matter if she didn't go back, but this jade pendant is the artifact that Yonghe Continent relies on for survival, and she can't get it back even if she has ten of them! How can she find it back...

The late emperor took the jade pendant from the empress dowager's hand, stood by the well again, and hung the jade pendant above the dry well, hoping that the light would reappear.

The Queen Mother: "What are you doing?"

The late emperor was like a child who had done something wrong, "I'll try to restore the passage for you..."

"??? You want me to leave?"

Compared to the disappearance of the jade pendant, this was even more unacceptable to the Queen Mother. She had come here with the jade pendant to watch the fun, and when she was standing by the well, she was still thinking about whether to go back. If she went back, would the late emperor be sad? This person was so good, so he wanted her to go back, right? !

The late emperor: “I didn’t…”

The late emperor looked aggrieved, hesitated and wanted to say something, opened his mouth and then retracted it.

The Queen Mother: "Don't act like a little wife! Just speak your mind."

In this way, the late emperor told the empress dowager about the curse of the emperor of the Tianle Dynasty. The empress dowager first thought that the late emperor was too feudal and superstitious, and laughed and said it was impossible. After all, the average age in ancient times was not that long, not to mention the emperor, who was in danger every day.

But after a moment, the Queen Mother looked at the late Emperor's serious face and confirmed that he was not joking.

The late emperor was already 28 or 29 years old, and his days were numbered. Since the queen mother wanted to go back, he would not keep her trapped here. Since he was dying and she had a brighter future ahead of her, he could not stop her.

The Queen Mother stood there with her head down, thinking for a long time...

The late emperor has also been standing on the well, hoping that the light can be gathered again.

Suddenly, a hand snatched the jade pendant from her hand, and the Queen Mother turned and walked towards the bedroom. Seeing this, the late Emperor hurriedly caught up with her and asked, "Madam, you are not leaving?"

The Queen Mother: "What will happen to my son if you die? Really, next time you tell me something like this earlier! You only have one year left to live, how can I accept this!"

The Queen Mother became more and more excited as she spoke, and tears began to fall down her face.

The late emperor leaned sideways to catch up with her steps and wiped her tears. "Okay, okay, don't cry. Ah, next time I will tell you about this kind of thing first. Don't cry, madam, don't be sad..."

Third Master: "So... Mother, did you really want to go back then?"

The Queen Mother said: "I thought about it, but after your father died, who would take care of you? So I never thought about it again."

For several years after the death of the late emperor, the young emperor Li Ze had difficulty in commanding the overall situation, so the Tianle Dynasty was managed by the Empress Dowager for half of the period. This place had long become her home in her heart.

Third Master: "Then mother, so the jade pendant you often show me is only half?"

The Queen Mother nodded.

Third Master: "You lied to me before and said it was designed like that..."

The Queen Mother glanced to the side again, "I have been looking for my other half for so many years and still haven't found it. How dare I admit that I lost the artifact of the Tianle Dynasty..."

The other half? ...

Ningxu was a little skeptical when she heard this...

Ningxu: "Queen Mother, can you show me the jade pendant?"

The Queen Mother suddenly realized, "Yes, Rumeng is a time traveler, maybe she is the next goddess! Maybe you can find the green jade pendant and cloud feather robe!" The Queen Mother stood up, walked into the room, took out a brocade box, and handed it to Ningxu.

Ningxu took the brocade box expectantly and slowly opened it.

The moment she saw the jade pendant, Ningxu breathed a sigh of relief. As she had wished, she had finally gotten a glimpse of the goddess.

Inside the brocade box is the other half of the jade pendant on Ningxu's neck.

Seeing this, the Third Master walked up to Ningxu and asked, "What's wrong, Meng'er?"

Ningxu handed the brocade box to the Third Master, and touched the rope around her neck. She pulled out the jade pendant that Li Jinze had given her, took it off her neck, and took out the other half from the brocade box with her other hand. She looked up at the Queen Mother and the Third Master.

The Queen Mother recognized the jade pendant at a glance and rushed to Ningxu, "This is the jade pendant! Rumeng, didn't you say you didn't have much stuff after traveling through time?"

Ningxu: "Not much, this jade pendant was given to me by Li Jinze in modern times."

When he heard the name, Master San felt as if a mouthful of vinegar was fed into his mouth, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Queen Mother: "Li Jinze?" Hearing this name that was similar to her son's, the Queen Mother looked at the Third Master with some concern. She sympathized with him for a moment, then turned to ask Ning Xu, "Did he tell me where this name came from?"

Ningxu: "Do you... want to listen? It's a bit long..."

Queen Mother: "Listen!"

The Queen Mother helped Ningxu sit down, and she returned to her seat, leaving the Third Master holding the empty brocade box standing next to Ningxu. The Third Master felt very uncomfortable now, and angrily picked up his chair and sat next to Ningxu.

Ningxu: "When Li Jinze gave it to me, he told me that this jade pendant had always been with him. When he was twelve years old, he was found unconscious on the street. When he woke up, he didn't remember anything except this jade pendant hanging on his palm. Later, because he knew that I liked things like jade, he engraved my name on it and gave it to me."

The Queen Mother took Ningxu's half of the jade pendant from her hand and said, "Ningxu... your real name is Ningxu?"

Hmm? The Third Master looked at Ningxu in a daze. How could he not remember that he was the one who gave her the name Rumeng! He only knew Meng'er's real name now!

Seeing his reaction, the Queen Mother knew that her foolish son didn't know her real name yet. She handed the jade in her hand to the Third Master and said, "Son, do you want to see it?"

The Third Master took Ningxu's jade pendant in a huff and looked at the two words engraved by Li Jinze with displeasure.

This moment seems familiar...

While the Third Master was observing the jade pendant, the Queen Mother continued to gossip to Ningxu, "Rumeng, what is your relationship with this Li Jinze?"

Ningxu: "Hmm..." Ningxu looked at the Third Master, and seeing that his attention was not on them, she quickly whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, "I used to like him." Then she sat back in her seat.

The Queen Mother: "Is he handsome? What does he look like?"

Ningxu looked at the empress dowager in embarrassment, glanced at the Third Master, and then looked back at the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother seemed to understand, and also looked at the Third Master.
