Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

As she was daydreaming, Ting He's defensive movements gradually slowed down. She was accidentally hit in the chest by the whisk, and a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth. She dodged again and retreated, saying weakly:

"Stop, stop, stop. Let's stop fighting for now. I have something to ask Mu Ruiji. After I get the answer, can we make another appointment?"

The national teacher frowned and looked at the injured Tinghe. After thinking for a moment, he retracted his whisk, nodded, and stood aside without saying anything.

Ting He exhaled a few times fiercely, came to Mu Ruiji's side, grabbed her clothes on her chest, and asked viciously:

"Old witch, do you know my mother?"

Mu Ruiji was cheering for the two men, but when she saw the fight stop, her throat suddenly seemed to be stuck, and she was choking. She dared not speak anymore. Perhaps she knew she had said something wrong, so she refused to speak. Ting He had no choice but to slap her in the face a few times and continued to ask:

"Tell me quickly, do you know my mother? Otherwise, why do you call me a little bitch and say that I am as annoying as my bitch mother. What is your relationship with my mother? How did you know her?"

Mu Ruiji was so frightened by this question that she temporarily lost her voice. At a loss, she looked at the national teacher in panic. Stared at by his sharp eyes, she was so scared that she fell to the ground and took a few steps back, shaking her head and shouting:

"No, I don't know. I don't know anything."

Ting He always felt that this Mu Ruiji was suspicious, and that she must have known her mother. Could it be that her mother had had some grudge against Mu Ruiji? But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't connect the dots. The disparity between their identities made it impossible for them to connect at all.

Unless, unless her mother had been to the Western Regions, or came from the Western Regions, but later went to Chang'an City. By the way, the only person that Mu Ruiji could hate was her missing sister - Mu Ruilan.

Wait, no way, this is too much of a coincidence, could it be that her mother really has some special identity, or is she really the most favored princess in the Western Regions? If so, how did she end up in Chang'an City and marry her stepfather, General Yun? Is there another hidden story?

However, seeing Mu Ruiji's evasive eyes, Ting He decided to make up a story to trick her. After she thought about the wording, she shed a tear and said with a sob:

"I know this even if you don't tell me. My mother told me before she died that she was from the Western Regions and had a sister with whom she had a close relationship. The two of them were close since childhood, but who would have thought that the sister would cruelly plot against her and make her homeless, and even gave birth to me with great difficulty. So, this time I came to the Western Regions not only to find Yu Linyuan, but also to fulfill my mother's dream. My mother also has a name that is very similar to the princess, Princess Mu Ruiji. Tell me, am I right?"

Mu Ruiji's expression changed rapidly after hearing these words. A hint of resentment flashed across her eyes and then quickly disappeared. She looked up at Tinghe in confusion and said:

"No, I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to tell a story, please ask Queen Zhongyuan to tell it somewhere else and don't disturb my daughter's Saint House."

Tinghe stared at Mu Ruiji's expression and her rapidly changing micro-expressions. Tinghe felt that this was almost certain. She thought that the life story of Yun Tinghe that was briefly mentioned in the introduction of this world came from here.

Without any verification, it can be confirmed that Mu Ruiji knew Yun Tinghe, or knew her appearance, or even knew the appearance of Yun Tinghe's mother Mu Ruilan. According to the clues she connected, the story she just made up is probably 80% true. I just don't know if her mother is really a princess of the Western Regions, how did she end up in Chang'an City? And does her cheap father know her true identity? It's really puzzling.

Before Ting He could verify it, he saw that the Imperial Master, who had been standing calmly beside him, suddenly showed a rare look of anxiety and exasperation. He glanced at Ting He and asked without any context:

"What's your mother's name?"

Ting He really didn't know. She had no memory of this world and only had a few scattered introductions, so she shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

The Imperial Master probably thought that Ting He was unwilling to speak and refused to tell him his name, so he pinched Mu Ruiji's neck with bloodshot eyes and asked loudly:

"Is what she said true? Lan'er's disappearance has something to do with you?"

Having said this, he turned around and asked Ting He:

"Your mother died? When did she die?"

Without caring about Ting He's thought of words, he once again fixed his eyes on Mu Ruiji and roared:

"Tell me, is what she said true? Is Lan'er's disappearance related to you? Then how did you bring my and Lan'er's daughter back? Tell me quickly, or I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Ting He was so confused while eating melons, Lan'er, is it Mu Ruilan? I didn't expect that Mu Ruiji's husband, the imperial teacher, was actually having an affair with Mu Ruilan, and even had a daughter? This was really a fresh and shocking melon. She wouldn't be silenced soon, would she? Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense was she thinking.

According to her guess, Mu Ruilan is her biological mother, how could she have an affair with the national teacher? She is the daughter of General Yun, there is no way she would have anything to do with the national teacher of the Western Regions. She shook her head and threw away all her wild thoughts. It was too scary. She was just eating melons blindly. It must not be the case. She must have guessed wrong. Yes, she must have guessed wrong.

At this time, a clear and harsh voice came:

"Mother, mother, where are you? How are you? Someone, please find my mother."

Something opened with a creaking sound, followed by the sound of several footsteps running over quickly. Soon, a young woman in a goose yellow dress came in, shouting as she ran forward:

"Mother, mother, where are you?"

As soon as she entered the last room, she looked up and saw the people in the room. Her eyes darkened, and she regained her composure. She looked at the Imperial Master tenderly and said timidly:

"Father, father is here too. Ruirui was knocked unconscious in the mansion and called the guards as soon as she woke up. Ruirui was afraid that something might happen to mother and aunt, so she rushed here in a hurry. She never thought that father was here too..."

The Imperial Master did not greet her with a smile as he usually did when he saw her. Instead, he looked coldly into her eyes and asked, "What did you just call her?"

Mu Ruirui's heart skipped a beat. She was about to explain, but when she looked down, she saw the bloody wound on Mu Ruiji's face. She was so frightened that she ran over and blurted out:

"Mother, what happened to you? Your face?"
