As night fell, the bright moon hung high in the sky, its silvery light bathing the earth and enveloping the palace in tranquility.

Zhao Haoxuan, Wang Xinyao, Chen Qingfeng, Wang Muyun, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi gathered on the highest star-gazing platform in the palace.

A gentle evening breeze blew, carrying a hint of coolness.

Zhao Haoxuan held Wang Xinyao's hand tightly, feeling a warm touch on his fingertips.

He said softly, "Xinyao, everything is arranged. With Zhou Yunxi and Fang Zhiyuan assisting Luo Qing, and with the Empress Dowager and Grand Uncle secretly looking after him, Great Xia will be fine."

Wang Xinyao nodded, her eyes showing reluctance but also a strong determination for the future.

"Yes, I'm not worried. It's just that I feel bad for Mother, as she has to take care of the children and also look after the Miao Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom."

She stepped forward and hugged Wang Muyun, her voice choked with sobs: "Mother, you have never been separated from Father, yet this time you must stay behind alone. It's all Yao'er's fault..."

"Silly child, you've done very well." Wang Muyun gently patted her back, her voice gentle yet firm.

"You can go about your business with peace of mind. Leave the two children to me. I will return to Miao tomorrow, and no matter how long it takes, I will raise them into responsible people."

"Thank you, Mother. Take care, Mother." Wang Xinyao hugged her tightly before slowly letting go.

Wang Muyun turned her face away, tilted her head back, and forced back the tears welling up in her eyes.

Actually, she wanted to go with them too, not wanting to be separated from her husband and daughter, but she couldn't!

Yuan'er needs her, his two grandchildren need her, and the Great Xia and Miao Kingdoms also need her to oversee things.

She was the only one who couldn't let go and leave.

Seeing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Zhao Shun quickly broke the silence with a hearty laugh.

"I've lived to this age, and I've never been to another world!"

It's a good opportunity to see the beauty of the earth; maybe it can even be of some help.

"Let's meet that Scorpion who dares to impersonate the 'Heavenly Dao,' and show him the might of our Great Xia!"

Lady Yu stood beside him, nodding with a smile.

Holding his hand tightly, her eyes were full of trust and support: "Wherever we go, I'll follow you."

Wang Xinyao took a deep breath, suppressed her reluctance, and used her mind to make the invisible ring on her finger appear.

The ring was pure white, with intricate patterns engraved on it, and emitted a faint halo.

She looked at everyone: "Are you all ready? Once you step into the passage, there's no turning back."

"Ready!" Zhao Haoxuan, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi replied in unison.

Chen Qingfeng gave Wang Muyun a deep look: "Muyun, take care, wait for me to come back."

"Yes, take care, I... I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you all!" Wang Muyun's voice was a little choked up.

"Mother, then I'll have to trouble you."

Wang Xinyao bowed deeply to Wang Muyun, then turned around with everyone, and their figures instantly disappeared from the stargazing platform.

Wang Muyun looked in the direction they disappeared, clasped her hands together, and muttered something under her breath.

Streams of spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips, merging into the air and guarding the passage that was about to open.

On the other side, Wang Xinyao led everyone into the ring space.

The space was still the same familiar scene. She first walked to the corner and picked up the phone that was already fully charged.

This is her only connection to the Earth at present.

Next, she led everyone to the containers on the third level of the pyramid.

As Wang Muyun instructed, she stretched out her finger and pressed a tiny button on the side of the container.

At the same time, Wang Muyun's spiritual energy surged through the spatial passage and flowed into the button.

In an instant, the entire space began to distort, and beams of light converged in front of the container, forming a passage that emitted a hazy white light.

"Let's go."

Wang Xinyao was the first to step into the passage, followed closely by the others, their figures disappearing one by one at the container entrance.

The passageway was filled with bizarre and wonderful lights, and everyone felt a lightness in their bodies, as if they were being enveloped and drawn by a gentle force.

All around are flowing starlight and blurred patches of color, where the passage of time loses its meaning.

After a brief feeling of weightlessness comes a dizzying sensation of rapid movement.

……

Two months later, the Great Xia Dynasty transitioned smoothly under Luo Qing's governance.

He has officially ascended the throne, shedding his initial naiveté and becoming increasingly composed and experienced.

The team left behind by Zhao Haoxuan worked diligently to assist him, and the Empress Dowager and the old prince often gave him guidance in secret.

In addition, Luo Qing himself was diligent and eager to learn, reviewing memorials until late at night every day and humbly seeking advice from senior officials, which quickly won him the unanimous approval of the court officials.

Lord Luo Zheng has also fully recovered. After careful recuperation, he looks radiant and appears to have become twenty years younger.

Empress Dowager Luo Lan began to carefully search for a suitable candidate for the Duchess of the State.

She watched her brother regain his vitality and saw that her grandson Luo Qing was a wise ruler; she couldn't stop smiling every day.

She often said with a smile, "Once my brother gets married, I'll also go out of the palace for a stroll. Maybe I can even find my second spring!"

After the wedding at the Duke's mansion, Luo Lan took the skin-rejuvenating and beauty-enhancing pill that Madam Yu had given her.

As the pill entered her mouth, she felt a sense of lightness in her body.

The familiar yet unfamiliar face reflected in the bronze mirror made her feel as if she were in another world.

Not only did her gray hair turn black again and her wrinkles become less noticeable, but even the firmness and radiance of her skin from her youth returned.

The palace servants were all amazed, as if the Empress Dowager had obtained a magic spell to reverse aging.

However, as soon as Luo Lan stepped out of the palace, Zhao Haoyang blocked her way.

"Miss Luo, where are you headed? Do you need my protection?"

"How dare you! I am the Empress Dowager, your sister-in-law! How can you address me so disrespectfully!"

"I heard from my elder brother that you have divorced him."

Before my elder brother left, he asked me to take good care of you.

Now that you've left the palace, you're free in my eyes. Wherever you want to go, I'll drive you in a carriage…”

In fact, even without her elder brother's entrustment, despite the constant changes of the throne over the years, her sister-in-law has always silently stood by her side.

Her strength and kindness had long made it impossible for him to ignore her.

Now that he has learned about the divorce, he is even more determined to seize the opportunity.

However, Luo Lan ignored him completely, and the carriage quickly moved to the left and drove away.

Zhao Haoyang had no choice but to mount his horse and shamelessly follow closely behind Luo Lan's carriage, saying, "Miss Luo, wait, don't run so fast..."

……

Meanwhile, Wang Xinyao, Zhao Haoxuan, Chen Qingfeng, Zhao Shun, and Yu Niangzi, who were in the time conveyor belt, all appeared at a street corner where no one noticed them after an unknown amount of time.

What comes into view is no longer the familiar pavilions and towers, but towering "crystal palaces" (skyscrapers) and a constant stream of "iron boxes" (cars).

An unfamiliar smell filled the air, and a tremendous noise assaulted them, causing them to instinctively brace themselves for danger.

Zhao Shun's eyes widened in amazement. "The 'mechanical arts' here are so exquisite!"

“Grandpa, this isn’t ‘mechanical arts,’ it’s science!” Wang Xinyao said with a smile.

Zhao Shun asked in surprise, "Science? What is science?"

Wang Xinyao had no choice but to give a simple explanation, and then introduced everyone to Earth's social rules, lifestyle habits, and ways of addressing people...

At the same time, tell them that Earth is a society governed by the rule of law, and everyone needs an ID card.
