Ruo Fu stopped and turned to look at the two of them who were on good terms with each other. She smiled and looked at Prince Rui.

"Little Fu, I've already made up my mind. This time, I will definitely abide by our agreement. Whether it's bringing you to the ends of the world, to live in seclusion in the mountains, as long as we can rely on each other, everything is fine."

Ruo Fu's eyes immediately swelled up from being filled with hot and wet liquid. She tightly held onto Prince Rui's hand, "Okay."

The group of people quickly headed towards the Imperial Palace. When the carriage stopped at the entrance, Ruo Fu, who was not afraid of anything, felt fear.

Prince Rui turned his head and looked at her, "Fu Er, I'm here!"

This time, he would not allow anyone to separate them!

Eunuch Gui had already been guarding the palace gate for a long time, when he saw them return, he hurriedly greeted and led everyone to Tzu Ning Palace.

The space between Prince Rui's eyebrows tightened, and his footsteps stopped, "Why did you bring this king here?"

"Prince Rui, don't tell me you don't miss Royal Grandmother?" Wei Qing asked.

Prince Rui did not say anything.

Back then, it was the Empress Dowager who had insisted against it. He no longer had any feelings for her, including mother and son.

"Prince Rui, the knot that has been plaguing your heart for so many years, it might as well be completely resolved today." Wei Qing continued to advise.

Prince Rui looked at Ruo Fu in anticipation, only to see her nodding her head, she also took a deep breath and walked in together with Eunuch Gui.

The empress dowager didn't even have the energy for the past few days. When she saw Prince Rui slowly walk towards her, her eyes stung as tears quickly welled up in her eyes and her vision blurred.

Old Emperor stood beside her and held her hand tightly, advising her, "Imperial Mother, don't be sad. This is a happy thing."

The empress dowager used the kernels to wipe the tears at the corners of her eyes and looked at Prince Rui without blinking.

Whoever it was that looked the most like the late emperor, naturally belonged to the Prince Rui.

At this moment, looking at him was like looking at the late emperor, causing the empress dowager's heart to feel even more uncomfortable.

"Your son greets mother." When they got close, Prince Rui lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down.

Ruo Fu looked at him and knelt down as well.

With the support of the Old Emperor, the empress dowager got up and quickly walked towards him.

"My son!" The empress dowager helped Prince Rui up and hugged him tightly in her arms. "You've suffered."

Prince Rui's throat was choked with sobs. He took a deep breath and said, "Mother, your son is unfilial."

"It's not your problem."

If she hadn't been so selfish, then he wouldn't have been locked up in the forbidden area for so many years.

"Muhou, this is Fu'er!" After the mother and son pair asked and warmed each other up for a while, the Prince Rui brought Ruo Fu closer.

Although Ruo Fu was a little nervous, she followed the etiquette of the Northern Kingdom and greeted the empress dowager happily.

The empress dowager's eyebrows rose slightly. "Someone come!"

Hearing this, everyone's breathing became sluggish and a cautious look appeared in their eyes.

Prince Rui stood in front of Ruo Fu, "Mother, if you are going to deal with Fu'er today, I will not live on!"

Ruo Fu stood behind him and felt that this moment was truly very blissful.

She took his arm. "I'm fine, don't be upset with your family because of me."

"My son, more than ten years ago, the late emperor announced your death to the world. Now, my regret has reached the point where it is impossible for me to interfere in your matters with Ruo Fu!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Old Emperor continued: "Royal brother, we will give you a generous sum of silver. Whether you and Ruo Fu will live in a certain place or roam the world, we will not interfere."

Prince Rui looked at him in disbelief. Soon after, tears quickly welled up as he hugged Old Emperor tightly. "From now on, your majesty will take good care of Queen Mother!"

Old Emperor looked at Ruo Fu once more, "Ruo Fu, I know that you are a person that deeply loves and values justice. In the future, I will leave this royal brother in your care!"

Ruo Fu was extremely excited, she felt as if she had fallen into a dream.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Old Emperor continued, "Royal brother, but I have words to say first. No matter where we go, you have to write a letter to tell me and my mother that you are safe!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Your subject will definitely remember to report you to him." The Prince Rui replied hurriedly.

Ruo Fu also expressed her determination to return all the silver she got from the treasury.

Wei Qing hurriedly said, "Royal Grandmother, royal father, I have a favor to ask of you!"

"What?" Everyone looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing looked at Ruo Fu, "I would like to ask Imperial Aunt if you know how to remove Gu?"

Ruo Fu frowned, she stared at Wei Qing for a good long while, before grabbing onto Wei Qing's wrist, carefully listening to her pulse, the look in her eyes became complicated.

Her gaze shifted once again to Xiao Qingqian's face, and her other hand pressed onto Xiao Qingqian's wrist.

"How are you two of the Gu worms?"

Wei Qing explained in detail everything that happened to him when she was injured in Qing He, what Long Xiaotian had said after that, and Xiao Qingqian's abnormality.

For a time, the atmosphere in the entire Tzu Ning Palace was extremely heavy.

"You said that you've met my Junior Sister before?" Ruo Fu asked again.

"Yes."

"Is she all right?"

"Not good, more than ten years ago, after you went into seclusion to bury your name, someone went to the seedling border's stronghold and killed everyone in the entire stronghold. Only your Junior Apprentice Sister was lucky enough to leave …"

When Ruo Fu heard this, her heart shivered, and the anger and hatred in her eyes became even stronger.

"Long Xiaotian!"

This name seemed to be squeezed out from between the gaps of his teeth.

"Aunt Huang, Long Xiaotian is a very strange person, I have already thought of a good idea, it's just that, I'm troubled because there isn't anyone by my side to give me some pointers."

Ruo Fu looked at her for a good while before chuckling, "Girl, you really are a monkey spirit."

Wei Qing laughed, "Does Aunt Huang agree already?"

Without waiting for Ruo Fu to speak, Wei Qing immediately knelt down, "Your majesty the Emperor, I am Deep Earth, Royal Grandmother, royal father, Prince Rui is my witness, my daughter Wei Qing is here to pay respects to Master Ruo Fu."

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden admittance.

Ruo Fu said: "Forget it, if I insist on not accepting you as my disciple, you will definitely try to force me."

"That's true."

Everyone discussed for a while, and decided to let Prince Rui and Ruo Fu temporarily stay in Prince Chu’s Mansion for a few days. This way, it would be convenient for Wei Qing to learn the Wu Gu arts from Ruo Fu.

When the carriage was about to stop at Prince Chu’s Mansion, Wei Qing looked at Xiao Qingqian and said, "Think of a way to get rid of those two troublesome women."

If she gave Xiao Hanqi or Long Xiaotian a message, she wouldn't be able to catch him off guard.

Xiao Qingqian responded with a light "En", then ordered the hidden guards to temporarily go to the Prince Chu’s Mansion to make arrangements. After everyone had left, Ruo Fu and the Prince Rui were arranged to stay in her previous chamber.

Seeing Wei Qing's medicine hut, as well as the preparation she had done for raising the parasite, Ruo Fu felt that the heavens were not unkind to him. Not only had she reunited with her lover, she even gained such a clever disciple.
