Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

When Leng Yushang said that he might not wake up, Ting He's heart suddenly tightened.

She pursed her lips, shook her head firmly and refused, "No, please don't bother me, Master Imperial Master, to worry about this matter. Since I am the Queen, I cannot abandon everything in the Central Plains and rush to the Western Regions. Let my daughter do it. I see that the old man and my daughter get along very well, and I believe he agrees. As for Yu Linyuan, since Master Imperial Master can't see any reason, then forget it. No matter how long he can live, I will do my best to protect his body."

Leng Yushang hesitated for a long time before finally nodding slowly and saying:

"You still won't call me father?"

Ting He smiled and said:

"I've already asked Tian'er and Lin Jue to call you grandpa, haven't I? Doesn't that count as recognition of you?"

Leng Yushang then nodded gloomily and said, "Okay, since He'er has made up her mind, I won't interfere too much. Tomorrow I will say goodbye to the king and return to the Western Regions."

Ting He nodded, and then sent people to prepare many specialties from the Central Plains for them to bring over tomorrow.

When Tinghe sent the King of the Western Regions and the Imperial Preceptor away from Chang'an City in the name of the mother of a country, Si Tian had already become familiar with the Imperial Preceptor and the old king. Her repeated calls of "grandfather" and "great-grandfather" confused people. She was all smiles and kept praising Tinghe for giving birth to a good daughter.

When Yu Sitian said goodbye to his brother Yu Linjue, they whispered a few words to each other secretly, then said goodbye to Tinghe and his subjects, left Chang'an City, and happily boarded the carriage to the Western Regions.

Ting He watched her six-year-old daughter travel thousands of miles to another country for her responsibility with tears streaming down her face. Yu Linjue held her sleeve, secretly pulled it and whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry, mother. My sister told me before she left that we should wait for her good news. Her purpose of going here is to legitimately obtain the right to inherit the throne of the Saint, and then after the old monarch passes away, she will naturally become the next Queen of the Western Regions. By then, we can conquer the Western Regions and make it belong to the Central Plains without any soldiers."

Ting He blinked in surprise and couldn't help but think that her two children were really amazing. They were so smart at such a young age, which was really beyond the reach of others.

However, her worries did not diminish, and she said softly:

"That's what I'm worried about. She's only six years old and she's unfamiliar with the place. What if something happens to her? She's isolated and helpless, will she be bullied?"

Yu Linjue said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. My grandfather and great-grandfather will be my sister's backers. Besides, the eldest prince has been executed, and Mu Ruiji and her daughter were imprisoned and tortured to death by my grandfather. All threats to the royal family of the Western Regions no longer exist. Now is the best time."

Ting He seemed to realize something and said with emotion, "It's your father and your mother who are useless. They put the burden on you at such a young age and made you prepare for national affairs at such a young age. It's your mother's fault. Not only did she fail to take good care of your father, but she also made things so bad. I really can't calm down."

Yu Linjue comforted her, "Don't worry too much, mother. Father will definitely wake up, and my sister will definitely realize her wish in the Western Regions. When I grow up, I will definitely be a good ruler of the Central Plains and protect mother and sister for the rest of their lives."

Ting He wiped her tears and took Yu Linjue's hand, "Good boy, you have grown up now. You must take good care of your sister no matter what in the future, understand?"

"Your son understands." Yu Linjue said with a firm look in his eyes.

At this time, the carriage in the distance slowly started and drove towards the west. Looking at the carriage gradually going away, Ting He felt both reluctant and expectant.

She hopes that her daughter can achieve her goal safely and smoothly, and also looks forward to friendly coexistence between the Central Plains and the Western Regions in the future.

Time passed slowly, day after day, year after year, but Yu Linyuan showed no sign of recovery.

The little fairy was tired of extending her life and didn't want to waste any more energy. Ting He had no choice. After all, Yu Linyuan's soul didn't move at all. It seemed that they really had no chance to meet in this life. Never mind. She would not extend his life anymore.

He stayed in the palace for eight whole years, and searched for Yu Linyuan outside for two whole years. Although System Laoliu gave Tinghe half of her energy body, although her body could not be seen, her soul body had patched up and survived for another ten years, but it could no longer hold on.

Tinghe had been bedridden for a long time. At this time, Yu Linjue, who had already ascended the throne as the Emperor of Central Plains, and Yu Sihan, the Empress of the Western Regions who had rushed over from the Western Regions, both knelt beside the bed and cried heart-wrenchingly.

Ting He used up her last bit of strength to caress the two's faces and said weakly: "Don't cry, my children. You must take good care of each other..."

She turned her head slightly and looked at the sky outside the window, "I have seen your father coming to pick me up."

After saying that, Ting He's hands dropped and she closed her eyes. Yu Linjue and Yu Sihan were heartbroken, and the whole palace was filled with a sad atmosphere.

However, at this moment, a mysterious light descended from the sky and enveloped Tinghe's body.

After being enveloped by the light, the voice of System Lao Liu could be heard faintly, "Host, am I not late to come back? I just caught up with you. Let's leave here quickly."

Then the ball of light that fell from the sky circled over Tinghe's body and slowly dissipated.

Before closing her eyes and losing consciousness, Ting He fell into a real dream. In this dream, everything seemed so clear and real. She saw Yu Linyuan, and he was still as handsome and majestic as ever.

"Yu Linyuan, I'm leaving. I can't wait for you anymore. Thank you for giving me two lovely children." Ting He said softly, with endless attachment and reluctance in her voice.

Yu Linyuan was horrified. He grabbed Tinghe's hand tightly and said, "Where are you going? I won't let you go!"

His eyes were filled with pain and despair, as if he had lost the most precious thing in his life.

Ting He sighed, "Yu Linyuan, I have waited for you for too long, so long that my body can no longer bear it, but I don't regret meeting you, I will always remember you and the children."

After saying that, she left a lingering kiss on Yu Linyuan's forehead and disappeared into the air.

In the dream, Yu Linyuan looked at the shadow in his arms that was gradually disappearing. He closed his eyes in pain, and tears quietly fell, accompanied by his cries and struggles.

At this moment, he seemed to have lost the whole world, and his heart was filled with endless grief and regret.

But in reality, Ting He's body gradually became transparent, as if it was gradually merging into the mysterious light.

Yu Linjue and Yu Sihan watched all this in a daze, their hearts filled with helplessness and sadness. They didn't know how to deal with this sudden change and could only watch their mother leave them.

As the light gradually faded, Tinghe's soul completely disappeared from this world, leaving behind only a body that was cold and lifeless.

Yu Linjue and Yu Sihan hugged each other and cried bitterly. Their cries echoed in the palace and could not be calmed down for a long time. What they didn't know was that Yu Linyuan, who was relying on the energy of the little fairy to survive, no longer had any life when Tinghe left.

In the days to come, Yu Linjue took on the heavy responsibility of the emperor of the Central Plains. He worked hard to govern the country, hoping to fulfill his mother's last wish. Yu Sihan also worked hard to run her own empire in the Western Regions, and she always remembered her mother's teachings and expectations in her heart.

Although time has passed, Tinghe's place in their hearts will never be replaced. They will always miss that gentle and strong mother, and the love and care she gave them. And the story about Tinghe will be passed down forever, becoming an eternal legend.
