Unable to bear to see Su Yunxuan in that state, the Emperor of Heaven said goodbye and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps he finally stopped where he was.

Without turning around, he comforted her, “Everything in this world has its destiny.

Your parents' forced union is not tolerated by heaven and earth. You were implicated and suffered severe trauma while you were in your mother's womb, and you should have been mentally handicapped after birth.

But your father did not believe in fate and insisted on defying the will of heaven to help you regain your sanity. Your father would eventually suffer backlash for this action and die a miserable death. His death to protect his people was a great honor for him.

When you become an immortal, although you are no longer foolish, you are born incomprehensible about love, yet you value love very much. So the ending is not entirely your fault.

In your life, you have been foolish for many years, and with Qiongzhi's dedication to you, in this life, you finally understand the world.

But things in this world are unpredictable!

Knowing the world is the saddest thing in this world.

Yunxuan, regardless of whether Qiongzhi can successfully overcome the tribulation, after this, Uncle Sheng hopes that you can drink the Heartless Water, completely forget the past, and truly live according to your heart."

After the Emperor of Heaven finished speaking, he didn't hear Su Yunxuan's reply for a long while. He sighed and disappeared on the spot.

Ruoying, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw that only Su Yunxuan came out of the cave. She looked inside and asked, "Is the Emperor not going down the mountain with you, the Empress?"

Su Yunxuan walked straight past Ruoying without answering Ruoying's question.

Ruoying hesitated for a moment, withdrew her gaze from inside, turned around and followed Su Yunxuan.

When we came out of the cold cave, it was already dark outside.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, and a cold wind blew from the top of the mountain from time to time.

Su Yunxuan was so cold that she hugged her body, but still insisted on standing on the top of the mountain.

Ruoying was curious and followed Su Yunxuan's gaze. She saw the twinkling lights of thousands of houses in the capital of Yunsheng in the distance. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "If the prince were here, he would definitely be amazed..."

"The lights are on, shining like the stars." Su Yunxuan continued softly.

"Yes, yes..." Ruoying nodded repeatedly.

Su Yunxuan didn't say anything else, and her heart was filled with a sad pain again.

The rain that fell from the top of the mountain that night, after a long drought, made her mistakenly believe that her life would be free from winter and the stars would shine forever...

But it is said that life is just a dream within a dream, and the affairs of the world are like the wind within the wind......

In the darkness of the night, Ruoying did not urge her anymore and stayed quietly behind Su Yunxuan.

In the distance, the lights in Yunsheng capital became increasingly sparse until they were all extinguished, and then Su Yunxuan began to descend the mountain.

When I returned to the palace, the sky was already turning white.

Ruoying followed Su Yunxuan's instructions and returned to the Taifu Mansion.

Concubine Xu and Su Jibei were waiting in Yunxuan Palace early.

Seeing Su Yunxuan coming in, Concubine Xu stood up and hurried forward to ask something, but before she could open her mouth, Su Yunxuan stepped forward and hugged Concubine Xu tightly.

She held him for a long time before letting him go when Concubine Xu looked confused.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her father, the Emperor Su Jibei, who had been staring at Concubine Xu. Su Yunxuan briefly exchanged a few words with Concubine Xu, did not answer her many questions, and excused herself from seeing her off because she was tired.

After Concubine Xu and the other person left, Su Yunxuan slowly walked into the inner room, stood by the bed and stared at the person on the bed for a long time, then ordered someone to prepare hot water.

The palace maid took the order and left. Su Yunxuan went to the study and wrote two letters. One letter was sent to Ali, ordering Ali to stop the city-wide search for Feng Yuqi and deliver the letter to Prince Xu as soon as possible to replace Prince Xu and return to the capital.

Another urgent letter was sent to Su Muxiao at the border, ordering him to cease fighting.

After doing all this and withdrawing all the palace servants from the hall, Su Yunxuan soaked herself in hot water for nearly an hour, then got up and went to bed, lying beside Su Changfeng, hugging him and closing her eyes.

It was the first time in nearly three days that Su Yunxuan lay down properly and fell asleep as soon as she got to the bed.

This time, she slept very deeply, so deeply that she was no longer disturbed by the nightmare.

She slept for a very long time, so long that she was awakened by a knock on the door. When she opened her eyes and saw the sunlight coming in from the window, she realized that she had slept for a whole day and a night.

Fortunately, most of the officials were sent to various places to deliver food and cloth, and the court meeting was temporarily suspended.

After tidying up her clothes and leaning over to help Su Changfeng tidy up the corners of the quilt on the bed, Su Yunxuan opened the door and saw Bai Shu excitedly saying to her, "Empress, Prince... Master Su has been saved."

Su Yunxuan frowned, turned around, closed the door and didn't answer.

Bai Shu said behind her, "I have been thinking about this for a long time these past two days, and I think Yun Lianzi's life-extending technique can save Master Su's life."

Seeing that Su Yunxuan passed him and sat at the table without saying anything, Bai Shu continued, "As long as King Xu is willing..."

"Uncle Shu." Su Yunxuan finally interrupted, "Do you have a very thin and long silver needle?"

Bai Shu was slightly stunned and then nodded, "Yes, I wonder what the Empress needs this needle for?"

"You don't need to ask any more questions, just bring it. Brother Changfeng doesn't need you to stay here for the time being, you can go back to the Taifu Mansion first."

After saying this, Su Yunxuan drank a cup of tea and went out.

In the next few days, during the day, Su Yunxuan was busy dealing with the return of refugees in the capital.

At night, she would lie down beside Su Changfeng, holding him quietly and sleeping soundly all night.

After four days, all the refugees in Yunsheng City, except those who had settled down in the city, left one after another, and Pei Qianluo also returned to Yunsheng City.

As soon as he came back, Pei Qianluo went into the palace to ask to see Su Yunxuan regardless of anything.

After meeting Su Yunxuan, the first thing Pei Qianluo did was to beg Su Yunxuan to release Feng Yuqi and stop the war between the two countries.

Su Yunxuan raised her hand and asked Pei Qianluo to sit down before talking.

Pei Qianluo thought Su Yunxuan disagreed, and began to tell Su Yunxuan about what she saw at the border.

She talked a lot.

Yun Sheng launched a surprise attack, Feng Lan was caught off guard, Yougu Pass was lost, and General Qin Shiming had to retreat to Haiyue City.

Many Fenglan civilians along the way suffered and were forced to abandon their homes and retreat into the country; many merchants who had previously helped Pei Qianluo buy and transport grain in Fenglan had no choice but to move out of Haiyue City with their families.

There was no one in Yougu Pass except for the Yunzhong Canyon. Many vast and magnificent river and mountain scenery had been destroyed and soldiers were stationed there...

Su Yunxuan listened quietly the whole time. Thinking of the group of children in the clouds who were rescued by Su Changfeng and Xuan Huangzi, her thoughts became more determined.

After Pei Qianluo finished speaking, seeing that Su Yunxuan still hadn't expressed her opinion, he took out the letter that An Lan had written to Su Yunxuan.

In the letter, An Lan also asked Su Yunxuan to consider the overall situation and not forget the importance Su Changfeng attached to the peace talks between the two countries when An Lan helped them leave Fenglan.

At the end of the letter, An Lan asked Ye Zixi to write a paragraph. In the letter, Ye Zixi said hello to her sister and expressed her longing for her sister and brother Feng Yuqi.

The last words Ye Zixi said at the end of the letter were: I hope that one day, Zixi can travel freely between the two countries to visit her brother and sister, her two most important relatives.
