Ever since Xue Lian's death, she had been in a trance, day after day. She had been bedridden all year round, and now that she heard that Xue Shaoli was going to leave, her mind was in a mess.

It was a good thing that Xue Shaoli had married the third prince. The third prince had status, status, and was adept at strategy. He might even become the next emperor.

When she thought of this, Mrs Zhao's mood relaxed a little.

"My daughter can't bear to leave my father and mother. But, I can't disobey the imperial decree. My daughter has no other choice …" Xue Shaoli covered his face and cried.

"You should go over there and be fine. Don't worry about us. You must surpass that Xue Luoyun and let others know that my daughter won't be as bad as that damned Han Family!" At this time, Mrs Zhao still couldn't forget about comparing herself to Han Xiaodie.

Xue Duan Sheng was extremely dissatisfied when he heard what she said. He was just about to shout out to stop her, but when he saw her sickly appearance, he still couldn't bear it. Forget it.

"Don't listen to your mother. This palace is filled with wars, both overt and covert. If you are not careful, you will end up in the wrong place, losing everything." You'd better be careful what you say. "We must not get involved in this dispute."

Xue Duan Sheng exhorted her repeatedly in her heart. She told her of the experiences she'd gained in her life, hoping that she would take fewer detours so as to avoid repeating the same mistake as herself.

Xue Shaoli nodded her head repeatedly, "Your daughter will definitely remember father's teachings." In reality, her heart was filled with disdain. Fate was in her hands. If she did not fight for it, she would be at ease in her current situation. There was no difference between her and a salted fish.

The reason why Xue Duan Sheng had come to this step today was because his ability was lacking and his ambition was insufficient. That was why he had made such a mistake. However, Xue Shaoli believed in herself. She wouldn't be like him, she would definitely succeed.

"That's good, that's good." Xue Duan Sheng nodded in gratification. But he knew Xue Shaoli wouldn't listen. He knew his daughter too well, but he had already said what he needed to say. He would let her decide for herself what to do next.

Xue Shaoli said a lot of things in the lobby that went against her will. She couldn't wait to leave this damned place and throw herself into Mu Lingfeng's arms.

However, before he left, Xue Shaoli wanted to get the Nine-Eyed Heaven Bead from Xue Duan Sheng. Thus, she pretended to be reluctant to part with him and went with her parents.

Right now, Xue Luoyun was already married to the prince, so it was impossible for the prince to become the emperor. And the Third Prince still had some hope of becoming the Supreme Emperor. Therefore, Xue Shaoli believed that tonight, if Xue Duan Sheng still wanted to rise up again, and enjoy the taste of being a country leader, he would definitely pass the Nine-Eyed Sky Pearl to her.

However, in the end, Xue Shaori was still disappointed and acted for a long time. Besides giving the remaining silver to her as a form of transportation, Xue Duan Sheng also gave her all of it. There was nothing of value left.

"Father, you have to take good care of yourselves when I'm not by your side. This silver is for you and your mother. Your daughter doesn't need this thing. It would be fine if you could give your daughter one of these items you brought with you. "I don't have any other intentions, it's just that I want to see it from a distance, just like how you two elders are by my side."

Xue Shaoli had hinted clearly.

"Oh, yes, yes." Xue Duan Sheng came to a sudden understanding and took out a piece of jade.

Xue Shaori thought that it was the Nine-Eyed Sky Jewel, but he was disappointed when he saw it was a jade pendant.

"This was given to me by your grandmother when I was taking the Shang Jing exam back then. It wasn't some valuable jade, it was just an ordinary small accessory. I've been carrying it with me all these years. I'll give it to you now. "

This was a relic of Xue Duan Sheng's nostalgia for his mother, but since Xue Shaoli wanted it, he might as well give it to her.

"Oh, thank you, Father." Although Xue Shaoli was disappointed, she still forced a smile as she received the jade pendant, showing her feelings.

Seeing that it was impossible for Xue Duan Sheng to hand over the Heavenly Jewels, Xue Shaoli was too lazy to continue acting, so she quickly returned to her room.

Xue Shaoli spat in disgust when she saw Xue Duan Sheng's jade pendant. "What lousy trash is this, you can even take it out!" As she spoke, she was about to open the window and throw it away.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Xue Shaoli asked as she quickly put the jade back in her pocket.

"It's me, daughter."

Xue Shaoli hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

"I know what you meant by that." Mrs Zhao bluntly said the moment she entered.

"Oh, then mother, do you know where this thing is now?" Xue Shaoli asked.

Mrs Zhao shook her head: "Your father never told me either."

Hearing Mrs Zhao's words, Xue Shaoli ignored her and started to pack her things in disappointment.

"However, I didn't see her hand it over to Xue Ruyun, which means that this thing is still on him. Rest assured, after you leave, I will keep a close eye on your father. As long as you know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Jewels, I will let you know immediately. " Mrs Zhao said.

Hearing Mrs Zhao's words, Xue Shaoli's hand stopped. She turned around and knelt down on Mrs Zhao's lap. "Then thank you mother."

"You are my daughter, so naturally, I will take care of everything for you. Now that your mother is old, she can't help much. When you go to the capital, you must properly deal with that Xue Luoyun. For your sister, you must help us vent our anger. Mrs Zhao stroked Xue Shaoli's head and said in a intimate tone. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cough a few times.

Xue Luoyun was sleeping in the middle of the night, when he was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. He sat up, his entire body covered in sweat, and he was breathing heavily.

Xue Ruyun reached out a hand to touch the side, but there was no sign of Mu Ying. She instantly panicked, "Yun Zhi, Yun Zhi."

"Madam, what's the matter?" She put on her coat, yawned and walked in, then turned on the lights in the room.

"Where is the prince?" It was already the middle of the night, where was Mu Ying?

"Prince went to the study room to read because he didn't want to disturb your sleep."

"Oh …" Only then did Xue Ruyun relax. He took the cup of water that Yun Zhi had given him and drank a mouthful, calming his mood down.

"Just now, I sat in a terrifying dream. I dreamt that Xue Shaoli would come to the capital and she would draw a giant python to tightly bind me. In my dream, I lost all of my strength. No matter how I struggled, I couldn't break free. In the end, the python got tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter. In the end, I almost suffocated before I woke up. "

When Xue Ruyun recalled her dream just now, it had been too real, so much so that she still had some lingering fear in her heart.

"Madam, don't worry. This is just a dream. "You must be used to being framed by this young miss when you heard that she was coming to the capital. That's why you keep thinking and dreaming." Yun Zhi gently caressed Xue Ruyun's back, constantly trying to keep her safe.

"Perhaps, but what does this python mean?" Xue Muyun didn't understand.

"This …" Yun Zhi thought back for a moment and suddenly smiled.

"Madam, this might be a good omen." Yun Zhi said with a joyous expression.

"What good omen?" Xue Luoyun asked.

"This servant has heard people say before that this snake is the symbol of many sons and many grandchildren. The woman dreamt that the giant python was a sign that both her child and child were together. Who knows, you might have a little gongzi now! " Yun Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, no, you're talking nonsense." Xue Luoyun somewhat bashfully lowered her head. She wasn't ready for the baby yet. Besides, this feudal superstition could not be trusted.

As a modern person, Xue Luoyun found it even more unbelievable. She knew all the symptoms of pregnancy, such as vomiting, loss of appetite, and lethargy. She didn't have any of these symptoms, so it was impossible. Xue Luoyun shook her head.

"You have been married to the prince for so long, and you are also favored by a private room. It is possible for you to be pregnant. Why don't you call the family's doctor for a look tomorrow?" Yun Zhi probed. Deep down in her heart, she really wished that Xue Ruoyun would become pregnant.

"There's no need. I'm very clear of my physical condition. I called the doctor here and thought the king was sick, but I'm also worried. During this period of time, the matters of the imperial government have annoyed him enough." Xue Luoyun waved his hand, rejecting Yun Zhi's suggestion.

"Fine." Yun Zhi saw that Xue Ruyun also didn't have any bad symptoms, so she didn't insist.

Mu Ying was indeed very busy during this period of time. Every day after the assembly was over, the Emperor would stay behind alone, and the two of them discussed many matters. This time, the comfort zone was getting more and more arrogant, bullying others too much. Moreover, they had also sent people here to propose marriage. It seemed that they would soon arrive at the capital city.

This time, the messengers did not come with good intentions, so Mu Zheng had to make proper arrangements and deal with them properly. He trusted Mu Sheng the most, so he left him to negotiate with the ministers every day. Every time Mu Ying returned, he would be extremely worried.

Although he forcefully put on a calm expression after seeing Xue Luoyun, he was still able to detect his annoyance.

Every day when Mu Ying returned, he would read many books and look for solutions. Every time he had a good idea, he would quickly discuss it with Mu Zheng. The two brothers were very close.

The capital had always been a place filled with trouble. As time passed, rumors began to spread. It was said that the Emperor had a close relationship with Mu Ying, and it was Mu Ying who helped him ascend to the throne with all his might. Therefore, it was possible that he would inherit the throne in the future.

This was just some gossip, but it greatly alarmed Mu Lingfeng. He had heard from Zheng Ziyi that the Emperor had once joked with her after drinking that Mu Ying would be in charge of the world. Now it seemed like the rumors were true.

Previously, Mu Lingfeng's target was only Mu Zhuo. Once Mu Zhuo was defeated, he would be able to become Crown Prince and then Emperor.

However, looking at it now, Mu Sheng had accidentally killed his wings time and time again, so it was also possible that he could compete for the throne. It was likely that this Mu Sheng would be his other powerful opponent.

Mu Lingfeng felt more and more uneasy. While cultivating his wings and vying for the Emperor's trust, he quickly transferred Xue Shaoli and other useful people to the capital and secretly began to lay out a plan.

Although Xue Ruyun was married and had become an imperial concubine, he still didn't change his habit of playing around. She would still dress up and take Yun Zhi out to play in the street.

She also heard some vague rumors. She was just worried that it would affect Mu's week of victory, so she didn't say it out loud.
