Yue Huaiyin had died a long time ago, and the current her was only a ghost that was about to be reincarnated. Unfortunately, her resentment was too deep, and did not hesitate to escape halfway to obtain Ling Xiao Inn.

She had already wandered around for a few days, only then would she be able to get in if Little Pei was not by his side tonight.

"Where do you think Ling Chaofeng is now?" Yue Huaiyin laughed sinisterly, she wanted to tell Mu Xiaowan so that he would be tortured for a lifetime.

Xiaowan was not afraid, what else did she have to fear?

"Because of you, he's going to squat on the palace's Announcement Hall and become a thousand-year stone beast." "Because of you, he received a heavy punishment. After a thousand years, he will be reincarnated and experience countless calamities, and extreme torture."

Xiaowan stared at her: "How did you know?"

"All the demons and demons in the world know about it. Even if you have transformed into a soul after death, you will also know about it." Yue Huaiyin scoffed, and wanted to stroke her cheeks, "It must be painful, living is better than dying, you have this day?"

Xiaowan reached out her hand to block it, and just as Yue Huaiyin touched the Jade Ring on her finger, her soul was actually bounced off, and smashed into the wall.

"What is this?" Yue Huaiyin's soul became thinner, she was in pain, "What are you wearing on your hands?"

But at that moment, Little Pei flew back and rushed into the bedroom, bit Yue Huaiyin and dragged him out.

Xiaowan rushed to the window, only to see Little Pei berating her in the air: "Demoness, you want to harm my mother?"

In almost an instant, the already thin soul was torn to shreds by Little Pei and turned into dust.

Little Pei returned to his mother's side and asked her, "Mother, are you alright?"

Xiaowan shook her head: "How is she?"

Little Pei said: "It has been turned into dust, and I can't reincarnate anymore. Mother, what did that monster say to you? "

Xiaowan shook her head. "I didn't say anything, the moment she touched me, she was knocked away by this ring. This ring was given to me by your grandmother."

Little Pei looked at his mother suspiciously. "Really?"

Xiaowan pinched his face lightly: "Why would Mother lie to you? Hurry up and go back, or else Aunt Susu will not be able to see you.

Little Pei flew out of the tavern and drew a circle around the tavern, so that the demons and ghosts would not be able to come in.

Xiaowan hurriedly closed the window and sat back on the bed. She touched the Jade Ring s on her fingers and recalled every word that Yue Huaiyin said.

No wonder she felt her husband's presence so strongly when she arrived at the capital. He was in the Imperial Palace.

Yue Huaiyin's words combined with Grandma's words, Xiaowan understood.

Hubby was a god like Little Pei, who had violated the rules because of her. He was punished to become a stone statue and had to stay there to guard her for a thousand years.

She couldn't care less about matters that would happen a hundred or thousand years later, but in her life, she had yet to drink Grandma Meng's Elixir. She would never forget her husband's life. She wanted to be together with him.

Even if he had turned into a statue.

Xiaowan sat there in a daze for the entire night, thinking about what she should do in order to not only avoid the wind, but also "stay together" with him. It was only when she heard the sound of the horse hooves downstairs and opened the window did she realize that dawn had arrived.

"General Wei?" Xiaowan looked at the people on the horses in shock. He was travel worn, and did not know how long he had traveled.

As she led the way in, Xiaowan saw his bloodshot eyes. She must be hurrying through the night, why did he have to come to the inn so urgently?

Although the people at the inn had lost her, when she left early in the morning with her son, Wei Tengfei's men followed.

They watched as young lady jumped off the cliff, regretting that they could not save him in time. They hid in the bushes. Although they did not know what had happened, when things calmed down and they stood up again, they saw that young lady and her son had once again sat down on the cliff.

There were three of them, and all three of them personally saw Xiaowan jumping off the cliff to kill herself. No matter what, they wouldn't be able to come back alive, so one of them rushed back to the Chuanyu to report this strange matter to Wei Tengfei. Wei Tengfei remembered that back at the capital, the servants at the door said that the Xiaowan was extremely mysterious.

Avoiding Uncle Biao, Wei Tengfei spoke to Xiaowan alone. He got straight to the point: "Xiaowan, your inn, or even, is there anything strange about it?"

Xiaowan shook her head. "It's nothing.

Wei Tengfei frowned, "Xiaowan, are you really alright? My subordinates watched as you jumped off the cliff. In the blink of an eye, you have returned to the cliff.

Xiaowan asked: "Are they seeing things? General, you … Send someone to follow me? "

No matter how Wei Tengfei asked, even if Xiaowan did not admit it, Wei Tengfei could not bear to force her. As for Wei Tengfei sending people to protect her, Xiaowan did not object.

"Whatever. You're fine, so I'm relieved." Wei Tengfei gave up.

"Since General is here, can you do me a favor?" Xiaowan laughed.

"How can I help you?" Wei Tengfei felt even weirder.

"I want to go to the capital, I want to become the empress's Palace Maid." The Xiaowan said, "This way, I can accompany the Empress forever."

Wei Tengfei was startled: "Become a Palace Maid?"

The Xiaowan nodded his head: "You need to be a Palace Maid to be able to stay in the palace, right?"

It was not easy for Wei Tengfei to agree to it himself, but he was afraid that if he rejected Xiaowan, she would be hurt, so he made an excuse that he should discuss with his family to get them to stop her.

Naturally, the entire family was shocked by her. Only Little Pei understood why his mother would go there. The monster must have told his mother something last night, but the Xiaowan refused to admit it, so Little Pei could not point it out. Even if his grandmother said those words in anger that day, he could not say it.

No one could oppose Xiaowan's insistence. However, for Aunt Zhang and the others, it was not easy for him to be willing to live a good life, so she had to agree even if she did not agree.

In the morning of the second day, the Xiaowan left. Wei Tengfei personally drove a carriage to bring her to the capital.

The Xiaowan asked guiltily: "General, leaving the warriors behind for me, I am truly guilty."

Wei Tengfei said: "The world is at peace, you don't have to worry. Even if I am not here, they will train their troops as usual. All these years, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to the army.

Xiaowan was blunt: "General, I will definitely repay you."

However, Wei Tengfei laughed: "Don't jump off the cliff anymore, you're just trying to repay me."

Of course the Xiaowan wouldn't admit it, but she smiled.

Wei Tengfei looked at her smile in surprise. Why was she so happy when he went to become the Palace Maid?

Only Little Pei knew why his mother was so happy, but the mother and son couldn't explain it to each other. He kept staring at his mother angrily, and every time he got angry, he would act exactly like his father.

As the carriage sped towards the capital, Dragon Queen stood in front of his Heaven's Mirror and saw everything clearly.

"Imperial Mother, did you intentionally get angry that day and tell Xiaowan about it?" The eldest son, Captive Cow, stood at the side and asked gently, "Who released Yue Huaiyin's spirit?"

Dragon Queen smiled at his son: "What are you saying, I don't understand."

Inside the capital, the emperor had received the news very early on that Wei Tengfei was coming to the capital alone with Mu Xiaowan. He thought that he couldn't hide this from the empress. After the husband and wife discussed things, they thought that Wei Tengfei had moved the Xiaowan and that they were here to ask the Emperor for a marriage.

On this day, the imperial government issued a decree that, with the exception of the top three in this year's imperial examinations, all those who had made it to the top three would become officials of the imperial court.

Strangely enough, the new top scholar had only one scholar's errand, high grade but no real power. As for Bi Zhenye and Ling Yu who had not entered the top three, one had gone to the work department, the other had gone to the Ministry Of Justice, and both had a bright future ahead of them.

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, for example, had started from when he was a teacher in the Ministry of Industry. Step by step, Bi Zhenye had come to this day, and could be considered to have inherited his legacy.

The decree of the title of official, together with the decree of the Emperor summoning the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, made him tremble with fear as he followed the palace maid into the palace. At home, Old Madem and Hanxi were overjoyed. Even the depressed Mrs. Bi had finally revealed a smile.

However, Old Madem did not forget about his grandson. When he brought his daughter-in-law and grandchildren to the Ancestral Hall to burn incense, he even said that he would keep the trade on his lips, while Mrs. Bi knelt behind her with a cold look in his eyes.

Deep in the palace, the emperor had seen the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi. Looking at his lonely back, he saw that someone from the palace had come to report, saying that the General Wei had already arrived outside the palace.

"Ask the empress to come." Xiang Run instructed, but then said, "Forget it, I'll just take care of the family matters, let's go to the Culture Hall."

The two emperors thought that since Wei Tengfei had brought the Xiaowan along, it would be impossible for it to be a national affair no matter what. However, their anticipated marriage request had not been accomplished, and the Xiaowan had actually said that she wanted to be the Palace Maid, to accompany the Empress.

Xiang Run slightly frowned. Siyan was also very surprised, and smiled: "Even if you don't become the Palace Maid, you can still accompany me at my side.

The Xiaowan trembled as she said, "But a first-class lady, no, no, you can't accompany the Empress every day."

If that was the case, it would be very far-fetched. This matter was already very strange, and the Emperor ordered them to withdraw to discuss it with the Empress alone.

Obviously, the Xiaowan had her own reasons for suddenly coming to the Palace Maid. For the peace of the imperial palace, the Emperor couldn't agree to such a strange matter.

Siyan also knew that she could not force him, but when Xiaowan asked for her help, she could not bear to refuse.

Seeing through the empress's thoughts, the emperor sighed lightly and said, "I can't leave it by your side. I can't be at ease even if other people who serve you feel uncomfortable. Your people will think that if they do their best and you don't trust them, you'll have to let one of your own go. "What do you think?"

Siyan nodded repeatedly. Xiang Run thought for a bit, then said: "Let her go to the Announcement Hall to do the cleaning, and come see you everyday. He spends the rest of his time there, where there are a lot of guards, so she won't do anything strange.

"That's it for now. Maybe she fulfilled her wish and left." Siyan said, "Your majesty, Xiaowan will not cause trouble. She is so kind, and seeing her today, her mental state is much higher than before, how nice is that."

He had wanted to go to the last trial, at least the suspicious Emperor would not nod his head, yet everything had gone as planned by the Xiaowan. The place she wanted to go the most was the Announcement Hall.

Ling Chaofeng stood at the top of the Announcement Hall, watched as Xiaowan stood below, and helplessly smiled.

This young lady, how long was she going to pester him for? In this lifetime, even if she had to accompany a stone statue, was she going to stay with him?

Xiaowan looked up at the stone beast on the eaves and said smilingly, "Master, I'm here. Can you see me?"
