Before their second trip to the capital, when they found out that Xiaowan was determined to become the Palace Maid, the Aunt Zhang couldn't persuade her otherwise. Thus, she told her that if she wanted to maintain that sisterly relationship with the Queen, she needed to know who she was and who the Queen was at all times.

Xiaowan kept that in mind. At this moment, she said to Siyan, "I want to be the Empress's good sister for my entire life, but only by maintaining a sense of propriety will this wish of mine be realized. "The Empress's heart is real. I know, but you, Empress, are the empress. You can't change that."

Siyan thought for a while, then ordered the Palace Maid to help him up. She smiled and said: "I understand what you're thinking, but you have to promise me, this is the Imperial Palace, we can't do anything about it, but if I were to go to the Ling Xiao Inn in the future, you can't be like this, alright?"

Xiaowan nodded. "Empress, don't worry, I understand."

Siyan said: "Then we will listen to the emperor, we will go to a warm place to work, it is very cold outside, and snow will fall soon in the capital city."

Xiaowan looked up into the sky and thought back to last year's snowstorm and flood. It was a pity that she hadn't been able to be with her husband for more than half a year. Her life was so short, and she didn't want to waste even a single day.

She and the Queen ate green bean cake at the edge of the Supreme Pond and fed a golden carp. The two chatted for a long time, and in between them, the people of the various divisions of the palace came one after another to demand an order from the Queen. Xiaowan originally thought that the Empress was living a life of luxury in the palace, but now she found out that she also had endless things to do every day.

In comparison, when Xiaowan had once lived her life in the Ling Xiao Inn, he was truly free and unfettered.

When night fell, she would stand guard at the window, waiting for her husband to come see her. When Ling Chaofeng came to visit, he saw her lying on the window sill, full of anticipation. He flew over and scolded him, "Evening, Little Pei is not a human, and I am not a human either.

Xiaowan shook her head. "She's my son and my husband, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ling Chaofeng was still in disbelief, how could the Xiaowan accept everything that had happened so casually? When Little Pei was born in such a strange place, even he, who was a mortal at that time, could not accept it, but she had immediately begged him to not send him away just because of his son's curiosity.

had never seen it before, but now, he felt that she was even more mysterious than he was.

Xiaowan snuggled up against his chest and told him about what happened during the day. She said that from tomorrow onwards, she would not be able to clean outside the Announcement Hall, and maybe would not be able to see her during the next day. She told Ling Chaofeng to definitely come see her during the night.

"Even if it's just a single meeting." The Xiaowan said, "Otherwise, I would have been unable to hold back and come look for you."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "I'll leave it up to you, to be chased out of the palace by the Emperor, you deserve it."

The Xiaowan pouted and looked at him with a wronged expression. However, Ling Chaofeng actually went up to him and pecked him lightly: "You're already a mother, yet you're pouting?"

Although her heart was sweet from being kissed by her husband, Xiaowan was still worried.

She asked, "Won't we hurt you by being together like this? Yue Huaiyin's spirit told me that you have to stay here to guard for a thousand years, but because you ran out to save me last time, you have to go back to reincarnation right? "

Ling Chaofeng nodded his head: "It's no big deal, I think it's better to be a person than to be an immortal."

The Xiaowan was conflicted as to what she was thinking. Ling Chaofeng asked curiously, "What are you thinking about now?"

She then asked, "Master, is there really a Bridge of Helplessness or Grandma Meng's Elixir?"

"Yes, why?"

"What can we do? Can we not drink?" Xiaowan said, "This way, in my next life, I can again …"

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "Be obedient, late at night, and forget about me in your next life."

Xiaowan lowered her eyes and did not speak anymore.

The two of them stayed quiet for a while, before Ling Chaofeng coaxed her, "If I don't chase you away, unless there is a day when the Emperor wants to drive you away, and you are willing to stay with me like this, I will stay with you for the rest of my life. As for my next life, and thousands of years from now, as long as I can still find you, I'll definitely come looking for you, okay? "

Xiaowan nodded with tears in her eyes: "You have to come and find me. If I forget about you, wait for me to fall in love with you again, okay?"

Ling Chaofeng replied: "Right now, nothing has happened. In this life, if we can stay together for one day, we can enjoy it for one day."

The Xiaowan lay on her husband's chest, afraid that he would leave in the next moment. She clutched onto his clothes as she spoke, all the way until she unknowingly fell asleep.

Ling Chaofeng gently placed Xiaowan on the bed and covered her with a blanket, kissing her cheeks.

He wished so much that he could lie down beside Xiaowan and sleep in her embrace. However hugging and kissing was already a matter of course, and he risked everything, not caring about how he would be punished, and not wanting the Xiaowan to suffer any more. However, in order to stay together for a longer period of time, he still had to endure.

He flew back to his Announcement Hall, only to see purple energy roiling from the east, surrounded by immortal energy. Although they did not come towards him, he could vaguely feel that the Supreme Celestial had gathered to discuss something related to them.

Ling Chaofeng thought in his heart, and in a moment he saw a Golden Dragon flying over. Little Pei yawned and asked his father what he wanted, and Ling Chaofeng said: "Go to the east and take a look, what are they doing?"

Little Pei swam leisurely through the clouds, and the closer he got to the Immortal World, the smaller he became.

Grandfather and Grandmother were present as well as Uncle. Dragon Queen took him into his embrace and leisurely accepted the praises and congratulations from the other immortals.

Their Dragon Clan had not had a dragon-shaped offspring for more than ten thousand years, so Little Pei, this little Golden Dragon, had already become famous in the nine heavens.

But today, they had gathered together not to admire Little Pei's appearance, but rather to discuss his birth in the mortal realm. As well as Ling Chaofeng, more and more mortals were being drawn in to reveal the secrets of heaven. This was not a good thing.

Logically speaking, even if Little Pei was born in the mortal world, Ling Chaofeng and Mu Xiaowan should not have been able to see it, let alone the other people at that time, in addition to the explanation Mu Xiaowan gave to her close friends, as well as the strange scene in the flood that the villagers of Baisha County saw, all of these violated the laws of heaven.

The result of their discussion was to erase the memories of the relevant mortals, make them forget everything that had happened, and no longer allow Little Pei to appear in the mortal world as a Golden Dragon.

Dragon Queen said faintly: "At that time, Chaofeng brought you and the others down, and hurt mortals by accident. You guys said that the taboo in Heaven Realm was to forcefully change the fate of mortals, so you forced Chaofeng to bear the guilt, and those commoners all died tragically. Why are they going to forcibly change their memories now? "

The deities were silent for a moment, then said: "The Dragon Queen bestowed a magical artifact on Mu Xiaowan, transferring the sins of the ninth life to her, aren't you also interfering with the matters of mortals?"

Dragon Queen laughed: "Didn't I receive my retribution?"

The various immortals were all embarrassed and did not have any retort. After discussing for a long time, in the end, they still hoped that Dragon Queen would warn them not to show themselves to Mu Xiaowan. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them too.

The Chaofeng was full of crimes. If this carried on, he would be demoted to a mortal.

However, someone's words had also aroused the curiosity of all the deities, "Where did Mu Xiaowan come from? How could she endure so many things? If it were any ordinary person, they would have already been annihilated. Everyone, is it possible to calculate that?"

Dragon Queen hugged the fat grandson in his arms and laughed: "She's just an ordinary mortal. If you don't believe me, why don't you go to Xi Tian and ask her?"

Not long after, Little Pei leisurely swam back and told his father about the discussions of the various immortals, then angrily said, "Why are they so free? There are so many monsters in the world that don't want to surrender, and there are demons that don't want to exterminate the devil way. They just want to break up their parents."

Ling Chaofeng warned his son not to get into conflict with those Supreme Immortals. Those who relied on their cultivation to soar into the skies were extremely jealous that their Dragon Clan was born to be like an immortal. Only the west sky was truly clear.

Little Pei was disdainful, so Ling Chaofeng ordered him to return.

Standing on top of the Announcement Hall, he suddenly felt the aura of an emperor. Turning around, he saw a group of palace servants carrying lanterns, hurriedly luring the Emperor from the Culture Hall to the Qingming Pavilion.

It must be some urgent matter that had spread to the palace. It was not easy to be an emperor.

After tormenting for two hours, the emperor finally returned to the Culture Hall. He walked out of the Qingming Pavilion's hall door, raised his eyes and looked at the roof of the Announcement Hall, just in time to meet Ling Chaofeng's gaze.

Xiang Run was actually unable to see anything, but in his heart, he had always felt that it was very strange.

He didn't think that he was the one being paranoid or that the Xiaowan would seek revenge on him, but something had already entrenched itself in his heart, making him unhappy.

He walked towards the Culture Hall, and the late autumn wind was somewhat bone-piercing. He asked when it was snowing early last year, listening to the chatter of the palace people, then thought about the disaster that happened at the Baisha County as well as the legends regarding it.

Siyan was waiting for the Emperor to return. After they laid back down, Xiang Run asked, "Yan'er, should we not kill Ling Chaofeng?"

"Why did the emperor think of this? Is it the Xiaowan?" The Queen asked worriedly, "Did the Xiaowan do anything?"

The Emperor shook his head, "It's not that my heart is not as strong as my fist, but it's just that I can't let go of the guilt. I always feel that I should do something. "

"For whom?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

Whether it was the emperor's hesitation, or the worries and warnings of the Eastern Gods, none of the Xiaowan knew.

The current her was content with being able to live the life before her. She had personally turned Ling Chaofeng's corpse into ashes, so she clearly understood that her husband had truly died. Thus, to be able to be together with her husband, regardless if he was a ghost or a god, or an ethereal soul, as long as they could be together, everything was fine.

It was as if she had returned to the tavern and would wake up early every day to work hard, occasionally telling jokes to the Palace Maid servants by her side, or go to the Culture Hall to help the Empress take care of the Little Princess. Every ten days, he would leave the palace and bring Little Pei to various restaurants in the capital to buy delicious food for his son, accompanying him for one day and one night.

What was left was her and Hubby's meeting every night before going to bed. Sleeping in the warmth of his body was the happiest thing that Xiaowan cherished the most.

In the blink of an eye, November arrived.

Xiaowan followed the others as they passed by the Announcement Hall. When she looked at the stone statue from afar, she saw that there was a thin layer of snow on the statue's head.
