Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Originally, people thought that this was the end of the book, and the Queen Mother didn't know why she traveled through the book. But when she was dying, she actually returned to the year when Mo Mingkong was three years old. She vaguely knew that Mo Mingkong was the grandson of the crown prince of the previous dynasty, and was a fake eunuch. He hid in the Dayong Palace just to wait for an opportunity to avenge the previous dynasty.

In order to make the book reach its ending sooner, the Queen Mother began to take care of Mo Mingkong in secret. Not only did she save him from danger, she also sent someone to look after him until he had power and no longer needed her help. Only then did she retire from the palace and go to Foshan Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. She thought that by saving the villain Mo Mingkong, she could make the book reach its ending quickly.

But the cycle of life after life made her physically and mentally exhausted. She repeated the same path in every life, but could never escape from the book and return to reality. She couldn't help but give up on herself. In several of her lives, she did not help Mo Mingkong, but found that the world had gone back to the year when he was three years old. Later, she tried to send people to assassinate Liu Nishang or Liu Tinghe, and each time ended with the world being reshaped, but the content of the book was constantly rewritten, and there were even countless versions.

Just when the Queen Mother thought that she would repeat the same mistakes in her life, a man in black appeared at her bedside and told her that the poison in her body could be cured, but she needed to persuade the real concubine of the Liu family to learn a thing or two before she could be completely detoxified.

The Queen Mother didn't know the details of the man in black, so she pretended to agree. She didn't tell anyone that she was poisoned by the Imperial Concubine on purpose, just to finish the plot of the book earlier. However, the man in black was the only change in her life in the book, so she became more concerned and began to pay more attention to the news of the concubine of the Liu family.

Until some time ago, she suddenly heard that the concubine of the Liu family bribed the eunuchs in front of the emperor and deliberately did not participate in the selection, and insisted on spending money to enter the Queen's palace as a slave. Her heart moved, and she suddenly felt that this concubine of the Liu family was completely different from her previous lives, and might even be the key to escaping from this book, so she had been waiting, waiting for the concubine of the Liu family to come and find her.

The Queen Mother even thought that the key to leaving this book lies in Liu Tinghe, the concubine of the Liu family. Based on what she had seen and heard in the book in her past few lifetimes, she was 100% sure that only if Liu Tinghe solved Liu Nishang and warmed the heart of the villain Mo Mingkong, would it be possible for the book to truly come to an end. At that time, she, the person who had traveled through the book, could completely break away from the world in the book and no longer be bound by it.

As the Queen Mother continued to tell Ting He about her experiences in these past lives, the poison in her body became more and more vicious and had begun to spread to her heart. Ting He immediately stepped forward to detoxify her, but was rejected by the Queen Mother. She spat out a mouthful of blood and said:

"I have waited for you for several lifetimes. I finally waited for you but now I have to part with you. However, I don't regret it. Perhaps after seeing you this time, I can completely escape from this world in the book and return to my original world. So I won't regret it. I hope you won't save me..."

As soon as the voice fell, the Queen Mother spat out a mouthful of black blood. Her eyes, which should have been cloudy, became clear and bright, and her eyes were filled with longing for leaving.

Ting He was horrified, she had not expected that the Queen Mother's poison had become so serious. She quickly used her dark spiritual power to try to save the Queen Mother's life.

However, the Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling Ting He to stop. "Child, it's useless... This is my fate." The Queen Mother's voice was weak but firm, "I am already satisfied to see you at the last moment..."

The Queen Mother looked at Ting He, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. "You are the variable of this world, and my only hope... You must break the rules of this book... and set us free." After saying this, the Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes.

Ting He felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and tears welled up in her eyes. She even secretly vowed to fulfill the Queen Mother's last wish, to end this endless cycle of reincarnation, and to free the entire world in the book.

After the Queen Mother closed her eyes, Ting He could no longer sense her breath. She wiped away her tears, quickly left the Queen Mother's palace and returned to her own residence.

On the second day, the sad news of the Queen Mother's death spread like wildfire throughout the palace, and everyone knew about it. Even though Emperor Yong had many important matters on his mind, he had to put them aside for the moment and focus on handling all matters related to the Queen Mother's funeral and the imperial mausoleum.

Emperor Dayong looked solemn, his eyes full of sorrow. He personally directed everyone in the palace and arranged the complicated funeral procedures. Inside and outside the palace, white banners fluttered, mournful music played, and the scene was solemn and sad.

Ministers in the court also became busy, and officials from the Ministry of Rites racked their brains to make the empress dowager's funeral in accordance with etiquette and to fully demonstrate the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

Other officials, while not handling government affairs, also wore plain clothes to show their mourning.

In the harem, the concubines were even more silent, carefully following various rules, for fear of making the slightest mistake during this sensitive period. Even the confined Liu Nishang came to the empress dowager's bedroom with her big belly to see her off.

However, beneath this seemingly well-organized appearance, there are hidden undercurrents of various forces. Some people with ulterior motives try to take advantage of this opportunity to seek personal gain and gain more benefits for their position in the court...

The nine thousand year old Mo Mingkong actually took advantage of this opportunity to seize the little power that was left in the hands of Emperor Dayong.

Not only that, he also sent people to frantically suppress the direct branch of the Liu family, where Liu Nishang was, from many aspects.

The Liu family suddenly fell into a precarious situation, the family business suffered a severe blow, and all the family members were in panic.

Liu Nishang was extremely anxious, but because she was pregnant and in the palace, she had no control over many things and could not lend a helping hand.

However, Mo Mingkong showed no intention of stopping, and his followers were rampant in the court, and the suppression of the Liu family became more and more severe. Seeing that the situation was not good, some of the Liu family's side branches chose to distance themselves from the main branch in order to protect themselves.

Just when the direct branch of the Liu family was about to collapse, Liu Nishang decided to take a risk. She asked her father to secretly unite some ministers who were dissatisfied with Mo Mingkong, and gave the elixir awarded to her before the system went into hibernation to her father's allies, preparing to use the elixir to control everyone and plan a desperate counterattack on the day of the Queen Mother's funeral...

When Liu Nishang learned that the baby in her belly was actually a little princess, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Not only was she resentful that the emperor was useless and couldn't let her conceive a little prince, but she was also particularly resentful of the queen, because she heard that the queen was pregnant with a real little prince...

With an idea in mind, Liu Nishang made all preparations on the day of the empress dowager's funeral. Not only did she use her father and other ministers' private soldiers and forces to fight against Mo Mingkong, she also walked around the empress repeatedly with her big belly, trying to find an opportunity to frame the empress and make her fall from the throne.
