Bringing love across time and space

That’s right, Rou’er is Lin Qingya’s mother, Wang Yunxi!

Lin Qingya looked at her mother, Wang Yunxi, her bright eyes full of tenderness and tranquility.

It seems as if the years are peaceful and all the hardships have been gently smoothed out by time.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice soft and concerned:

"Mother, how did you get here all these years? Why did you appear in that cave again?"

Although the words were light, they were like a thin thread, gently plucking the strings of memory deep in Wang Yunxi's heart.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze seemed to penetrate the fog and return to the past that she could not bear to look back on.

Those memories, like a long-forgotten painting, slowly unfolded before her eyes.

Wang Yunxi fell into deep thought, her thoughts seemed to be pulled by an invisible wind and drifted to the distant past.

Those days were filled with bitterness and tears, as well as secrets that she didn't want to mention.

She looked at Lin Qingya's eyes that were full of curiosity, and felt mixed emotions.

She didn't know how to explain to her daughter why she abandoned her and faked her own death to get away.

"Qingya, there are some things I thought I would never have the chance to tell you."

Wang Yunxi's voice trembled a little.

She took a deep breath,

Try to calm yourself down.

"Back then, I left you because I was poisoned by a chronic poison. This poison was given to me by Lin Hai. I overheard the conversation between Lin Hai and Wang Lina in a restaurant by chance and learned this terrible fact. At that time, my heart was filled with fear and despair, but I couldn't let them find out that I was abnormal. So, I quietly left there, and when I got home, I wrote a letter to your uncle, telling him about my situation. After your uncle learned about this, he helped me plan a fake death to get out. It took me two years to detoxify. During that time, I lived in guilt and self-blame every day, but when I thought that you still needed me to save you, I had the strength to persevere."

When Wang Yunxi said this, her eyes turned slightly red.

She gently stroked Lin Qingya's face, as if to confirm whether all this was real.

She continued, "After I was detoxified, I met Ye Rongcheng. He was a very good man and treated me very well. But because I had been married before and had been hurt emotionally, I rejected him several times. However, fate did not seem to let me live a peaceful life. One time, I accidentally fell off a cliff, and when I woke up, I looked like what you see. I don't know how long I was unconscious, nor do I know what happened outside."

Wang Yunxi's voice was choked with sobs, and she hugged Lin Qingya tightly.

It was as if all the longing and guilt over the years were integrated into this hug.

Lin Qingya listened to her mother's words, and a strong emotion surged in her heart.

She never imagined that her mother had experienced so much hardship and pain over the years.

She patted her mother's back gently.

Comforting her, "Mother, it's all over. Now that you're back, we can be reunited."

However, Wang Yunxi's brows did not relax. She looked at Lin Qingya, her eyes full of worry and concern:

"Qingya, I have a secret that I haven't told you. Another reason why I faked my death and escaped was that I thought Lin Hai would not ignore you. After all, you are his biological daughter. I thought that when you grow up, I will come back and take you away. We can fly far away and leave that place full of deception and betrayal forever. However, I never expected that I would encounter danger and almost die. What I didn't expect was that Lin Hai would do such a thing to you!"

Wang Yunxi was already in tears when she said this. She couldn't imagine,

The man who had once been gentle and considerate to her would actually treat his own daughter so cruelly.

Lin Qingya listened to her mother's words, and her heart was filled with anger and sadness.

She held her mother's hand tightly and said firmly:

"Mother, don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you, including Lin Hai."

Wang Yunxi looked at her daughter's determined eyes and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She knew that her daughter had grown up and was no longer the little girl who needed her protection.

She gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

She smiled and said, "Qingya, you have grown up. Mother is very pleased. It is worth being happy that we can be reunited now! Let's not talk about those things that spoil the fun for now."

Lin Qingya nodded. She looked at her mother's tired and pale face, her heart filled with heartache.

Deep in the magnificent palace, the second prince, Prince Yao,

Today, Liu Yuhan was specially summoned to an empty palace.

The sunlight shines through the delicate window lattices, sprinkling on her body in patches, adding a touch of soft glow to her.

King Yao's eyes were filled with unquestionable majesty. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful:

"The reason I'm looking for you today is because I have something for you to do. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is coming up soon, and I hope you can try to get the right to host it. This is a very important matter, and you must go all out and make sure you get this opportunity."

After saying this, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to see through Liu Yuhan's heart and confirm her determination.

When Liu Yuhan heard this, she already understood King Yao's true intention.

She knew very well that the Second Prince had always been ambitious and coveted the throne. This birthday banquet was undoubtedly his...

And she, of course, had no choice but to do it. So, she smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning and determination in her smile:

"Don't worry, Your Highness King Yao. I will do my best and will never let Your Highness down. I will devote all my energy to such an important task." King Yao left very satisfied!

Liu Yuhan already had a plan in mind.

She knew very well that in order to successfully win the right to host the birthday banquet, she would need the approval of Emperor Yuan Jin.

After all, in this palace, the emperor's opinion is the final decision.

Therefore, she decided to act immediately and show goodwill to Emperor Yuan Jin first to pave the way for the subsequent request.

She called a maid and whispered:

"Go tell the emperor that I have specially prepared several delicious dishes today, and I hope the emperor will do me the honor of having dinner with me."

She turned to another maid and said, "Go and prepare the meal quickly. Remember to make it light and appetizing. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently because of the incident caused by His Royal Highness Prince Yao. He has a poor appetite. I'm afraid that big fish and meat are not to his liking."

The palace maids took the order and left, while Liu Yuhan began to dress herself up carefully.

She knew very well that this meal tonight not only concerned her future, but also whether Lin Qingya's plan could proceed smoothly.

So, she chose the most exquisite clothes and paired them with simple yet luxurious jewelry.

Dress yourself up like a flower blooming in spring, delicate and fresh.

Not long after, Emperor Yuan Jin arrived as promised.

He was dressed in a dragon robe, majestic yet tender, and walked into the house.

Then he saw Liu Yuhan, who was already dressed up gracefully. He sat at the table, smiling at her.

Just as Liu Yuhan was about to pay her respects to Emperor Yuan Jin, Emperor Yuan Jin grabbed her hand and motioned for her to sit down!

There was a flash of surprise in Emperor Yuan Jin's eyes, and then a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Liu Yuhan deliberately sat in Yuan Jindi's arms, put her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly:

"Your Majesty, have you thought of me these days?" Her voice was soft and lingering, as if water could drip out of it.

Emperor Yuan Jin smiled slyly and said softly, "Guess."

Liu Yuhan pretended to be coquettish and said, "Your Majesty is good or bad, how dare I guess your intentions? This is a big taboo!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jin couldn't help but laugh: "Just say it, I won't punish you today."

Liu Yuhan lowered her head shyly, with a blush on her face:

"No, no, no. Your Majesty says you won't punish me now, but when he gets tired of me in the future, he won't say that anymore. I'm afraid that I'll be spoiled by your Majesty and will say anything I don't care about, angering your Majesty without even realizing it."

Emperor Yuan Jin looked at her delicate appearance and felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.

He couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to kiss her.

Liu Yuhan did not dodge, but just closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this rare warm moment.

After the kiss, Liu Yuhan finally got to the point: "Your Majesty, I came to you today because I have a favor to ask."

Emperor Yuan Jin looked at her and asked with some curiosity in his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Liu Yuhan took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say, "I would like to ask the Emperor for permission to host the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Emperor Yuan Jin frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew very well that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was a very important event and was always hosted by the Queen herself.

Now that the Queen is unwell due to miscarriage, this provides an opportunity for others to intervene.

But Liu Yuhan was a newcomer after all, and he was worried that she lacked experience and might not be able to handle the matter well, which would bring shame to him.

Just as he was about to refuse, a eunuch suddenly came from outside the door and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has summoned you to accompany her for dinner."

When Emperor Yuan Jin heard this, he immediately understood. He looked at Liu Yuhan.

Her expression changed slightly, and she obviously realized something.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, knowing that there must be someone behind this.

But at this moment, he was even more reluctant to disappoint Liu Yuhan. So, he nodded.

He said, "Okay, I agree to this. But you have to remember, you can do it, but don't mess it up. If you don't understand anything, go ask the Queen."

When Liu Yuhan heard this, she was overjoyed.

She quickly stood up and knelt to thank Emperor Yuan Jin for his grace: "I thank the emperor for his grace. I will do my best to live up to the emperor's trust."

Emperor Yuan Jin looked at her with some encouragement and expectation in his eyes: "Go, I believe you can handle this matter well."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. When he reached the threshold, he stopped again.

He looked back at Liu Yuhan and said, "Remember, you are mine, and I will not let you suffer any injustice."

When Liu Yuhan heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She watched Emperor Yuan Jin go away until his figure disappeared from her sight, then she turned around and went back into the house.
