Dream Picking Records

"Back then, the war between humans and demons had not stopped, and both sides were in a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, the angels led a sneak attack, and the former prince was seriously injured by the enemy's masters while covering the army's evacuation. According to the diagnosis of the imperial physician, only one thing could save him, the God Fruit."

Yu Changzhou continued, "The God Fruit is produced by the God Flower, which is unique to the Angel Clan. It is the only sacred flower in the world. The Angel Clan was the instigator of the war between the two sides, so how could they give it away?"

"What happened next? What conditions did the other party put forward?" Wang Xiao asked.

"It was Wei Zhongxian who came forward to negotiate with them. The other party said that the Emperor must come in person to apologize and give up the ownership of Biyun Mountain to share with the demon clan. Not only can the two sides stop fighting, but they can also send the God Fruit."

"This is too much. I can't agree to this condition at all!"

Even Feng Tingyun was so angry that his chest swelled and his wings clenched into fists. But they knew that the two sides had ceased fighting, and Biyun Mountain was also shared with the demon clan.

"Your Majesty agrees..." Wang Xiao uttered these words softly. As an outsider, he could hardly imagine how difficult the process was and how much pressure the Emperor Ming had to bear.

"Yes, His Majesty agreed." Yu Changzhou said slowly. He had no intention of blaming anyone, and even felt sympathy.

"It is such a great humiliation for a king to compromise with the enemy and apologize in person! The enemy's promise is also very cunning, offering the God Fruit and the truce together. Even if he endures the humiliation for a lifetime, the people will still doubt whether he is doing it for his son or for the people of the world."

Wang Xiao took a deep breath. The enemy should never be underestimated. There might be a few idiots occasionally, but they were treacherous and cunning.

Combined with Ming Huang's words in the mausoleum, he understood why Ming Huang blocked the exit in the secret realm that day and gave him the feeling that he didn't want to let the angels go, but he finally let them go.

"Your Majesty was young and hot-tempered at the time, so how could he compromise? How could his son's life be compared to the dignity of his country? Although the Queen was reluctant, she supported it. However, some people in the court advocated a ceasefire. Your Majesty, who went to the front line, saw his people's corpses everywhere in the war, and saw the Queen secretly crying, so he finally gave in. But..."

"The angels gave us fake God Fruit?"

"No, it's true, there's no poison. It's just that it came too late... Later, the queen was heartbroken and dissatisfied with his actions, so she went to Baihua Valley to live in seclusion alone. To this day, the two have never met again. Wei Zhongxian became the hero who facilitated the armistice agreement."

Since then, Emperor Ming was under pressure and in a daze for many years. After having Zhu Xiaokun, he did not get too close to him, and Zhu Xiaokun was inevitably compared with the former crown prince. Although he had good talent, it was a pity that the person he was compared with was too perfect. It was not that he was not good, but that the other person was too good.

Wang Xiao suddenly realized that he might have known one of the reasons why Zhu Xiaokun surrendered to the enemy.

Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived at Yu's residence. Yu Ling moved quickly and had assembled a team before they arrived. The team members were carefully selected by him, with resolute faces and strong character. Without any delay, they headed directly to Baihua Valley through the teleportation array.

Baihua Valley is located in a remote area, and the spring-like environment in the valley allows all kinds of exotic flowers and plants to bloom all year round.

"It's so beautiful!" Feng Tingjun took a deep sniff and felt refreshed.

Soon, a man who looked like an officer flew over to greet them.

"Commander Yu, our men are guarding all four directions, and we didn't find anyone leaving."

"Good job. You are in charge of this team. Continue to strengthen the patrol."

"I humble my position and take orders."

After the man left, Yu Ling waved to Wang Xiao and the other two, "Let's go down and visit the Queen first."

They stopped in front of a small wooden house. Several pots of flowers and plants swayed in the wind, emitting a fresh fragrance. The sun shone down, giving off a warm and soft glow. There was a grave next to it, which looked very clean, but strangely, it had no tombstone.

"Your Majesty, I, Yu Ling, have something to ask you."

After a long time, there was a response from the room.

"There is no Queen Wang in Baihua Valley, only an old widow."

Just when Yu Ling was at a loss, someone in the room spoke with a sad voice, "Xiao Ling, are you here to see your aunt?"

"Aunt, I'm sorry. Forgive me for not coming to see you for so long." Yu Ling's heart skipped a beat. Given his age and status, no one had called him like this for a long time. He seemed to have returned to the age when he was picked up by the person in the room.

"Silly child, why are you saying sorry? It's not your fault. Bring the kid next to you in with you."

"Squeak!"

Pushing open the door, the woman was wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, sitting alone in front of the window, looking into the distance. Except for her long snow-white hair, the years had left almost no trace on her elegant face.

"Auntie..."

Except for Yu Ling, Wang Xiao and Yu Changzhou simply saluted without using any honorific titles.

"Time flies, and you have grown so big." The Queen's voice was a little lonely. "Tell me, why did you come here?"

"This trip is to capture a dangerous person. Someone saw her escape into the Hundred Flower Valley. I rushed here immediately after receiving the notification."

"Maybe your information is wrong. Except for me, no one has visited this valley for decades. Even His Majesty has never been here, so who would dare to come in?" The queen's expression changed slightly, but she quickly concealed it.

"Didn't my aunt notice someone breaking in?"

"No."

"But……"

"Okay, you don't need to say anything more. Do you still suspect that I'm lying?"

"Don't dare."

The Queen passed by Yu Ling and asked, "Won't you introduce me to her?"

"He is my brother's son, named Yu Changzhou. The other one is the honorary marquis, Wang Xiao, and the one on his shoulder is his friend, Feng Tingjun." Yu Ling introduced them one by one.

"Honorary Marquis, this is the first time I've heard of you. Were you specially sent by my father and His Majesty?"

"You misunderstood. I am not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, so I only have an honorary title, and I asked to come here on my own initiative." Wang Xiao explained with a smile.

"Um... I'm sorry, it just happened that we had the same surname and I misunderstood. You have been granted a title at such a young age, and your future is promising!" The queen was obviously stunned when she saw him, and her eyes could not help but linger on him for a while.

Wang Xiao couldn't help but touch his face, thinking that something was stuck on it.

"You have a similar temperament to him." Her eyes were gentle yet mixed with worry. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well after being busy these days." Wang Xiao had never seen his mother since he was a child, and he felt a little awkward because of the sudden concern, but he couldn't pretend to be like this to deceive others.

"Haha, why are you so nervous?" The queen touched his forehead.

"I grew up with my father, and apart from my sister being so kind to me, I have never felt such warmth."

"Good boy..."

Queen Wang fell silent. When she opened her eyes again, she seemed to have made a very difficult decision. She turned to Ling and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. You can search the valley as much as you want. Once you are sure that there is no one you want to capture, quickly evacuate those people outside. I don't want anyone to disturb my peace."
