Little Pei fell asleep, he did not hear his mother's question, but even if he did, he could not answer.

Ling Chaofeng stood on top of the Announcement Hall roof, and looked at Xiaowan's haggard appearance through the window of the inn. She used to say that he was foolish, and always said that she was too stupid.

With her intelligence, if she had an immortal finger guiding her cultivation, she would definitely be able to achieve Immortal Ascension.

But Ling Chaofeng did not want Xiaowan to become a deity. It was better to be a person than to be a deity.

He thought to himself. Not long after, he saw the auspicious clouds fill the sky. His eldest brother, the Captive Cow, came over on top of the clouds and asked, "Chaofeng, what's the matter?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "Big Brother, is there any way to find out what else Xiaowan will encounter in this lifetime, and if we can find out when her lifespan ends?"

Captive Cow sighed: "All of these are easy, but have you thought about one thing? For her, if you stir up chaos and cause chaos, aren't you afraid that all of the crimes will be blamed on her? Even if she managed to safely pass through this life, the reincarnation of her next life would definitely be repaid. Chaofeng was a mortal. Her fate was already set, so it would be better to just wait and see her finish her life. "After a few dozen years, it was over in the blink of an eye."

Ling Chaofeng asked his brother: "Do you have to spend the rest of your life losing me?"

Captive Cow said: "Chaofeng, it's not empty talk for mortals to say that people can defeat the Heavens. It's just that this kind of person is too rare."

Ling Chaofeng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

Night slowly descended, and another day passed. Wei Siyan, who stayed deep within the palace, did not know that so many things had happened in the world outside the palace walls. That night, she had a long conversation with the emperor, and Siyan also understood that 'not knowing' was one of her duties.

The little princess slept soundly. He thought that Siyan had also fallen asleep, so she turned around and laid soft on her back.

"You're messing around again. What if I'm nervous and treat you as an assassin? Why do you always love to scare me?" Xiang Run laughed and took the opportunity to embrace Siyan: "You must have had a hard time waiting."

The empress shook her head. "I live like a prince, how can it be hard for me? It's hard for the emperor."

Xiang Run sighed lightly: "There are many things that have happened today, I don't know which one of them I should start talking to you about."

Siyan laughed: "Let's talk about what I care about the most."

The emperor thought for a bit, then mentioned the Xiaowan, then mentioned her brother. He said that he felt that Wei Tengfei and the Xiaowan were extremely compatible, but unfortunately, Wei Tengfei was not willing, and there were countless officials wanting to propose marriage to the, so he didn't nod his head.

When Siyan heard this, he was very calm. She said to the emperor, "Is it because the emperor felt that she owed Ling Chaofeng and the Xiaowan that she wished to find a reliable person for the Xiaowan to take care of her for the rest of her life?"

Xiang Run remained silent.

Siyan leaned into his embrace and said, "Your Majesty, don't feel owed. You are the master of the world, and everything you do is for this country. You do not owe anyone, you only owe yourself a peace of mind. The Emperor's decision is cold, but your heart has not truly cooled down. "

"Siyan?"

"No matter what, even if the people of this world all owe you, I will still stand by your side." Siyan said solemnly, "Otherwise, why would I have come all the way to marry you?"

"Siyan, if We had not chosen you back then, what would we have done?" Xiang Run bent his head and kissed her.

"Then I'll probably fall in love with another man and be someone else's wife." Siyan laughed.

The emperor snorted lightly and pinched her waist. "Say it again?"

Deep in the night, the Xiaowan stood at the inn's window and looked towards the Imperial City. Although she couldn't see clearly due to the obstruction of the other houses, she felt that there must be something waiting for her inside. Otherwise, why would Little Pei fly to the Imperial City?

"Hubby, even if it's only one time, let me see you again!"

Xiaowan clenched her fist tightly, she had decided.

The next day, Ershan's body was much better. The whole family gathered in his room, discussing about what to do.

Under Lian Yi's persuasion, Ershan decided to stay in the capital to prepare for the examination. He would definitely become the top scholar for the examination, and then go and pay respects to his brother.

Xiaowan did not inquire about what happened between Ershan and the people from the Bi Family. After discussing with Uncle Biao, she requested Uncle Biao to return to the Baisha Town first so that Aunt and Susu could feel at ease. Meanwhile, she and Susu stayed in the capital to accompany Ershan until autumn before returning.

Two days later, Ershan returned to school. After apologizing to Mister, he was allowed to continue staying and studying until the day of the examination.

His relationship with Bi Zhenye, however, did not spread, and the others did not notice the awkwardness between Ling Yu and Bi Zhenye. They met every day, nodded, and greeted each other.

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi brought a pair of children with his. Originally, Mrs. Bi should have gone as well, but he had a tense expression and couldn't sleep at night. He was extremely haggard these days, not daring to lose his memories in front of the emperor.

Just as they were about to leave the house, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi warned their daughter to dress up well again and again. She sent several mama to clean up the room for her, making Hanxi look like a beautiful fairy.

After entering the palace, his father walked in front, while Bi Zhenye followed behind him with his sister. He softly said to Hanxi: "Later, you will say that you feel uncomfortable, so leave the palace as soon as possible."

Hanxi shook her head: "Big Brother, I know why Father brought me here today, I'm willing."

"Hanxi?"

"I also want to do something for this family." Hanxi smiled slightly, "In any case, I have to marry anyone I marry. Could it be that I will be a lady for life at home? Wei Tengfei should not be a bad person, I heard that there are so many delicious things at Chuanyu, I love to eat them. "

"No, the Chuanyu is so far away, he's fifteen years older than you, in the future …" Bi Zhenye was excited, his voice turned loud.

The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi in front turned around and said angrily: "How can we allow you to be so presumptuous within the imperial city? Don't whisper anymore."

Just as Bi Zhenye was about to rush towards her father to reason, he was stopped by Hanxi and said with a smile: "Big Brother, I'm really willing. Our family is already in a mess, no matter what, we must give father face today."

Outside the imperial city, the carriages and horses of the noble officials were coming and going. The noble ladies who were being surrounded were all covered in shining jewels, and in comparison, the Xiaowan who was dressed in plain clothes looked very frail. Some of them had their gazes on her, looking a little surprised.

The Xiaowan already dressed up carefully. She could not wear red or green, and could not be too slovenly, trying her best to look dignified. However, under these kinds of festivals, plain clothes were still inappropriate.

When the adults and nobles saw the steward of the inner palace rushing over, they were curious which noble family was going to welcome them, but then they saw them run towards the plain-clothed woman and her children.

"Madam Ling, you have waited for a long time. Please follow me." The steward kindly invited the Xiaowan, and even stopped a sedan chair inside to let the mother and son ride on it.

The Xiaowan had never thought that she would one day step into the Royal Capital. She once told her husband that if someone like her were to go to the Imperial City, it was likely that her lifespan would be shortened.

But now, even if her lifespan was shortened, she still wanted to take a look, so she agreed without hesitation after the empress invited her.

The noble madams only entered the palace after the Xiaowan had left. They could not help but whisper amongst themselves, curious about the background of this young lady.

The doors to the deep palace were opened one after another. Xiaowan sat in the sedan with Little Pei for a long time before she slowly came to a stop. The curtains were lifted and a beautiful and dignified Palace Maid came to welcome her, calling her Madam Ling.

The Xiaowan brought Little Pei and carefully followed behind the people of the palace. They raised their heads to look at the tablet on the palace.

Unfortunately, she could not recognize the word "han". Perhaps she had seen it somewhere before, or perhaps her husband had taught it to her, but she was unable to recall where.

"Xiaowan." The Queen, dressed in a phoenix robe, welcomed him happily from the hall. Xiaowan was stupefied.

She had imagined countless times to the Aunt Zhang what the Empress would look like when she wore her phoenix robe. Only when it was really in front of her did she understand what it meant by "heavenly weather".

"Quickly get up, Xiaowan. Although it is the Imperial Palace, you should treat this as if you are a guest at my place. Who would be a guest kneeling to Master?" Siyan smiled and said to Little Pei who was at the side, "Little Pei, do you want to go see the Little Princess?"

Little Pei nodded, and the mama came to fetch her.

The Xiaowan followed the Queen nervously into the pavilion. The room was filled with fragrance, which was different from the rouge of the Siyun Pavilion.

From behind the screen, a young noble woman appeared. Xiaowan took a glance and lowered her head, but she could not help but look again.

Siyan introduced him to the Xiaowan: "This is First Princess, the emperor's older sister. She once passed an inn with her consort, and asked you for a bowl of water to drink. It was only after I chatted with my royal sister later on that I realized that we had all been to Baisha Town before.

Not long after she had entered the room, a young couple had passed by one day to drink a bowl of water. She remembered clearly that the man's words and actions were filled with the love of his wife.

Unexpectedly, really never would have thought that in her lifetime, she, Mu Xiaowan, had seen through everything about people she should not have met.

At this moment, the citizens of Qingling Village dared not to believe that the poor little girl who was beaten half to death every single day was standing in the palace of Daqi, about to participate in the national banquet.

However, Xiaowan was very nervous throughout the entire day, and the Queen couldn't only speak to her at all times. Countless noble wives walked past, and Xiaowan was dazzled by what she saw.

In his eyes, fireworks were set off in the palace to celebrate this holiday.

Xiaowan stood in the crowd and held Little Pei's hand, staring at the colorful and colorful night sky, thinking of how her husband had said that he would bring her to the capital city on New Year's Eve.

She had finally seen this flower fire, but next to her …

At this moment, Ling Chaofeng was right beside her, and perhaps becaushee was close to the Announcement Hall, the existence of his immortal soul was extremely strong. Xiaowan felt that he, himself, could see the figure of someone, but when she stretched out her hand, she saw nothing.

Everyone was staring at fireworks, but Xiaowan was staring at her own side.

However, Wei Tengfei, who was standing opposite of him, thought that the Xiaowan was staring at the emperor who was just following him. His heart tightened, could it be that the Xiaowan wanted to kill the emperor for revenge?
