After Princess Yueyao comforted the Queen, she said goodbye to her and left the Queen's palace.

The emperor was waiting for her in the imperial study. She was going to say goodbye to the emperor and then return to Northern Qi to continue her mission.

"Youth pays respects to father!" Princess Yueyao bowed to the emperor.

"Get up," the emperor said majestically.

"Yes." Princess Yueyao stood up.

"When you go back this time, you must not act rashly again, especially towards Ouyang Yi. Report any problems to me immediately." The emperor warned.

"Yes..." Princess Yueyao looked a little thoughtful, and the emperor immediately noticed her abnormality.

"Do you have anything else to say?" asked the emperor.

"Father, I don't understand. Ouyang Yi is the biggest obstacle in our attack on Northern Qi. Why do you want to protect him and not let me take action against her?" Princess Yueyao couldn't help but ask.

"What I say is an imperial decree. If you can't control your behavior, then you don't have to go to Northern Qi. I will send someone else there, and you can just wait in the palace to get married, right?"

"No... Father, I will obey your orders and will not question them. Please allow me to complete the mission."

Dongfang looked at Princess Yueyao who was kneeling beside him with a bit of disgust, then bent down and helped her up.

"Yueyao, don't blame father. You are a girl, you don't have to fight so hard, but these are your own choices. Since you have chosen, you must go on."

"Yes... Father, please rest assured that I will never question your orders again. I will resolutely complete the task you assign to me."

"Well... okay, go ahead." The emperor patted her shoulder.

Yue Yao looked at her father with a complicated expression, then bowed and said goodbye, turned around and left the imperial study.

At the gate of the palace, a group of people were riding horses, waiting for Yueyao to come out of the palace.

When they saw Yueyao, they hurried to meet her.

"My Lord, you are out."

"Well, let's go"

Yue Yao had an indifferent expression, but her movements were clean and neat. She jumped on the horse, whipped it and galloped away.

The people behind him also hurriedly chased after him.

Medicine King Valley

Ouyang Yi stayed with Ouyang Miaoling for three whole days, and Nangong Mingxuan was extremely jealous.

He had no chance to get close to his wife. Why could that brat be with her but he couldn't?

That day he tried to talk to Ouyang Miaoling.

"Ling'er,"

"Please respect yourself, Regent, and call me a miracle doctor."

Nangong Mingxuan felt very uncomfortable after being confronted, but he still flattered himself and continued talking to Ouyang Miaoling.

He had a flattering smile on his face: "Divine Doctor, I want to ask, when can the poison in that brat be cured?"

Ouyang Miaoling replied coldly: "If the Regent can't wait, you can go back first. I will prepare the antidote and have someone send it to the Regent's Palace." Her tone was full of alienation and determination.

Nangong Mingxuan waved his hands quickly: "No... don't worry, we will wait in Yaowang Valley and not go back."

His eyes were firm and persistent, and he seemed determined to stay here.

Ouyang Miaoling frowned and said sternly, "Regent, why are you doing this? The guests who came to the ceremony have all gone back, and you should go back too."

She unceremoniously ordered Nangong Mingxuan to leave.

However, Nangong Mingxuan refused to give in. He said firmly: "I will not leave! I have finally found you and my daughter, so I don't want to leave you."

There was a firmness and determination in his eyes.

Ouyang Miaoling sighed and said helplessly: "Regent, please don't be willful. You and I have been through too much, it's impossible now. Now for the sake of the child, I won't bother with you. You'd better leave and don't push your luck here." There was a hint of fatigue and disappointment in her voice.

"Ling'er, can you please give me one more chance and forgive me just once?"

"No... Nangong Mingxuan, why don't you understand? It's not that you did anything wrong, it's that you and I missed too much. I have let go of the past between you and me. Life is short. I don't want to waste my time on useless people and things. I just want to do something I like."

"Ling'er, you can do whatever you want to do with me. I won't stop you. You are with me and you want to do what you like. There is no conflict. Why do you reject me like this? I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, don't think about it. I don't want to talk to a cow anymore. Hurry up and pack up and leave my Medicine King Valley, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Ling'er..."

Nangong Mingxuan wanted to say something else to fight for himself, but was interrupted by Ouyang Miaoling, who turned around and left.

Watching Ouyang Miaoling turn around and leave without hesitation, her figure gradually went farther and farther away, as if the distance between him and her was getting bigger and bigger. He felt a deep sense of loss welling up in his heart.

Ouyang Miaoling's departing back seemed firm and resolute, and she seemed to have made up her mind not to look back.

Nangong Mingxuan stood there, following her back with his eyes full of helplessness and pain.

He couldn't understand why Ouyang Miaoling rejected him so resolutely and was even unwilling to give him a chance to explain.

His heart was filled with confusion and self-blame, and he didn't know how to make amends.

Nangong Mingxuan slowly lowered his head and sighed deeply.

He realized that he might need to re-examine their relationship and find a way to fix it.

But at this moment, he could only accept this reality silently and wait for the right opportunity to try again to win Ouyang Miaoling's heart.

"Ling'er..." Nangong Mingxuan murmured softly, his voice filled with endless attachment and reluctance.

However, the only responses he got were the sound of the wind and the silence of the valley.

Nangong Mingxuan stared quietly in the direction where Ouyang Miaoling left until her figure completely disappeared from his sight.

Then, he slowly turned around, silently packed his luggage and prepared to leave.

"Father, I don't want to leave yet. I want to stay here and stay with my mother more." Ouyang Yi argued.

"No, let's go back now," Nangong Mingxuan said firmly.

"But..."

"But what? As long as you can convince your mother to go back with us, you will have plenty of opportunities to stay with her in the future."

Nangong Mingxuan is putting pressure on his son.

"I'd better go back with you, because it's too difficult to change my mother's mind."

"You...you are a loser. Then stop complaining and just follow me back."

After saying this, Nangong Mingxuan was about to take Ouyang Yi away.

"Father, are you really not going to say goodbye to mother and sister?"

"Your mother doesn't seem to want to see me, so let's not go and provoke her dislike."

Ouyang Yi could feel the brokenness between the lines of Nangong Mingxuan's words, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
