Ten years have passed, and Jinyu is now sixteen years old.

Although her appearance may have changed, Leng Yiyan's appearance has not changed. She doesn't recognize him. Is it because she didn't see him, or is it because she doesn't want to recognize him?

In fact, over the past ten years, sometimes when she thought about the fact that they had no news at all and didn't even send a letter home, she would feel resentful and hateful in her heart. She blamed them for being cruel and hated them for being heartless.

"Don't worry, my husband. I'll look for him nearby later. For now, you should take care of yourself first."

"My wife, my health is getting worse every year. Now I have suffered a stroke. Although you saved me in time, I don't know when I will have another stroke. So I want to discuss with you. Jinjie is grown up now. He can support the throne independently. Find an opportunity and pass the throne to him!"

His words surprised her.

Although he disdained the throne that others could not even dream of, it was too early for him to give up the throne when he was only in his thirties.

However, she decided to respect him.

"Husband, have you thought about it?"

He nodded,

"Well, after waking up this time, I suddenly became more indifferent and saw through a lot. Now that Pingyang is enjoying good weather and no wars are going on, it would be easier for Jinjie to be the emperor. Besides, while you and I are still young, we can help him run the government."

"Okay, as long as you decide, I support your choice."

He looked at her and suddenly grinned.

"Thank you for your understanding, my lady. I will issue the decree to pass on the throne to him after he has adapted to the various affairs of the court."

"Okay, then you stay here and recuperate first. I'll go find Jinyu and Jinyan. We can rest assured knowing that they are safe!"

"Go ahead. If you do find them, don't blame them. As you said, as long as they are safe, that's all."

"You, stop trying to comfort me. Just stay here for a few days and take the injections and medicine. I'll tell everyone that I'm taking you to a temple to recuperate. Otherwise, people will suspect that I'm putting you under house arrest."

It turned out that in the past few years, because she often took Leng Yiyan to Bao'an Hall for medical treatment, some people suspected that she had put the emperor under house arrest and said that she wanted to be a empress.

This really made her laugh and cry, but she was not willing to explain more. When someone had doubts about this, she would directly let Leng Yiyan appear to dispel their doubts.

After she left Bao'an Hall, she asked Su Yi to announce to the public that the emperor had been ill for the past few days and that all matters in the court would be temporarily handled by Crown Prince Leng Jinjie.

Jinjie was a little nervous about this.

"Mother, I am terrified."

"Jinjie, you are already sixteen years old. It is time for you to learn how to manage government affairs and to get married and have children. When I have time in the next few days, your mother will find a suitable marriage for you."

"Mother, this is not urgent."

When it comes to this, Jinjie is a little nervous, while Luo Nianxi looks at him in confusion.

"Jinjie, do you have a crush on someone?"

"No...no."

How could he dare tell his mother that his sweetheart was the little palace maid who accompanied him in reading and writing all day long?

"If not, mother will select a woman of similar age to you from the family of a minister in the court, who is well-educated and well-mannered, and of equal social status. After reading her birth date and horoscope, mother will allow her to move into the East Palace as a good match, and after you build a relationship with her, mother will make her your consort."

Jinjie knew that his mother was afraid of wronging him, so she did not ask him to marry another woman immediately, but let him build up a relationship with another woman before getting married.

However, he already has someone in his heart, and he will never like another woman again.

"Jinjie, your father has been unwell these past few days, and your mother is going to send him to the temple to recuperate. During this period, you will be responsible for handling all matters in the court. If you don't understand something, ask your third or fifth uncle. Your mother will accompany your father."

"How long will Father and Mother be gone?"

"It's hard to say, but my mother hopes that you can take care of the affairs of the court and be a qualified crown prince. Only in this way can my father and mother feel at ease."

Jinjie clasped his hands together and responded solemnly,

"Don't worry, mother. I will live up to your expectations."

She nodded with satisfaction, and the next day she took Leng Yiyan out of the palace, dressed casually, and headed straight for Gratitude Temple.

The abbot there had been replaced a long time ago, and even the nuns in the temple had been replaced one batch after another.

Thinking back to the past there, she felt indescribable emotions in her heart.

Sitting in the carriage, she looked at Leng Yiyan, whose eyes were slightly narrowed and whose mental state was very bad, and said distressedly:

"I will take you back to Bao'an Hall now. You can come out again when we reach Gratitude Temple."

"No need to toss and turn. I'm fine. I can hold on."

"But you look very tired."

"Let me lean on your shoulder for a while!"

She sat back down beside him, and he leaned closer to her, resting his head on her shoulder.

"My dear, that day on the road, my hands and feet suddenly became uncontrollable and I couldn't speak. I was so scared at the time. I was afraid that I would die suddenly and never see you again. I was also afraid that you would cry and be sad..."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a minor illness. As long as I'm here, I won't let you die."

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that you'll be sad. I promised you that I would protect you for the rest of my life. I really hope I don't want you to experience the feeling of having your loved one leave you first!"

"Okay, we are all young and still far from death, so let's not talk about this for now. By the way, my parents from my previous life are going to return to China next month. When they do, I will find a way for you to meet them!"

Hearing this, his expression suddenly became tense.

"Then...then what should I do? Should I prepare some gifts? How about night-shining pearls? Or jade ruyi? Gold and silver jewelry? Or silver bills? No, no, these things are too tacky. So what should I prepare?"

Seeing his panic-stricken look, she suddenly laughed.

"Okay, my parents are very kind and not that scary. What I'm most worried about now is that we can't leave Bao'an Hall and I have no way to explain it to them. I don't know how to break this situation."

Leng Yiyan was also troubled by this.

"Your ability to travel back and forth between your past life and this life is something that cannot be explained. Sometimes, I feel like I am dreaming. I actually have this ability to travel between the two worlds with you. How wonderful it would be if I could continue our love in both worlds."

"Although this skill is magical and interesting, how can I face my parents? If I tell them the truth, they will be scared. But if I don't tell them, how can I explain the fact that I can't leave Bao'an Hall? This is really a headache."

"Don't worry, my lady. Let's slowly figure it out."

He raised his hand and held her hand, comforting her softly.

"Everything has a solution. You always say that there is always a way out. Maybe when that day comes, everything will be solved."
