Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Feng Qingyue walked into the top floor of the pavilion, but the depression in her heart was not relieved by being alone.

She stood at the window, looking out at the courtyard through the lattice.

Her eyes followed the green shadows of the trees and the bamboo forest swaying in the breeze, but the tranquility did not dispel the anxiety in her heart.

Although the scenery of the courtyard is beautiful, it cannot conceal the hidden pressure in her heart - the undercurrent in the dark is becoming more and more turbulent, and this invisible force is quietly approaching.

She must be extremely careful and cautious in every decision and every action.

At this moment, what bothered her most were the people around Jun Lingyuan.

She understood that their suspicion and vigilance were inevitable as she suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

She has to win their trust, and this road is obviously not easy.

Feng Qingyue sighed softly and said to herself: "Since they have forgotten my past, I must take the initiative to tell them. Only in this way can we ensure that future cooperation will not be hindered." A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

Just then, Jun Lingyuan appeared at the door, breaking her thoughts.

Feng Qingyue was slightly startled, then calmed down, turned around and asked calmly, "Ling Yuan, is there something wrong?"

Jun Lingyuan stood at the door, his eyes deep, as if he had already noticed her inner entanglement.

He stepped into the room, his eyes sweeping across the picturesque scene outside the window, then back to Feng Qingyue, and spoke slowly: "The affairs have been handled. I have arranged some things and came to see you. What are your plans for the future?"

Feng Qingyue's brows furrowed slightly. She took a deep breath, a secret determination flashing in her eyes. After a moment's silence, she spoke, "Ling Yuan, although you remember me, the people around you are not familiar with me and may even be suspicious of me. I wonder if you can gather Feng Qingcheng, Qianyi, Qianer and others to meet with me?"

When Jun Lingyuan heard Feng Qingyue's words, his brows raised slightly, and he seemed a little confused. But looking at her determined eyes, he finally nodded: "If you think it is necessary, I will arrange it."

Feng Qingyue smiled lightly, but her eyes were extremely determined: "Thank you."

Jun Lingyuan looked at her, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing, just said lightly: "Qingyue, you don't have to say thank you when you are here with me."

As they returned to Yueyuan Mansion, Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan walked into the hall. Feng Qingcheng, Qian San, Qian Er and others had already gathered aside.

Although the expressions of several people were calm, doubts could not be concealed in their eyes, especially Qian Er. He still could not get rid of the confusion and puzzlement he had when he met Feng Qingyue - why was that woman so familiar, yet so strange?

"Greetings, my master." Feng Qingcheng was the first to salute.

Jun Lingyuan nodded and signaled everyone to stand up.

Feng Qingyue walked to the main seat and sat down, her eyes scanning everyone present. Her tone was calm but undeniable: "I've gathered everyone here today because I know you all have doubts about my arrival. I'll address all your doubts only once, so listen carefully."

…………

Her tone was low and steady, with an undeniable majesty, but she was neither anxious nor impatient, as if she was waiting for everyone's attention to focus on her.

She paused for a moment, looking around, and continued, "Since we left Beiyan and came to Xingli, we've encountered assassination attempts many times along the way. The target is obvious—we are facing a force that is secretly stirring up trouble. These people have clearly set their sights on me, and even Ling Yuan hasn't been spared."

Feng Qingcheng frowned slightly and stared at Feng Qingyue, as if she had understood something from her words, but still did not express her opinion.

About 1,300 people lowered their heads in thought, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

Feng Qingyue sensed their doubts and continued in a calm but unquestionable tone, "I understand your concerns. After all, my appearance was indeed unexpected to you."

She took a deep breath. "But there are things I must tell you. You and I did spend time together. Maybe you don't remember it, but we spent more than a year together. You may find it hard to believe, but it's true."

The hall instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Feng Qingyue.

Feng Qingcheng, Qiansan and Qianer had different expressions. It was obvious that they found it hard to believe what Feng Qingyue said, especially Qianer. He was still confused as to why the woman in front of him was so confident.

Feng Qingyue could see their doubt from their expressions, but she didn't stop. Instead, she continued, "Although you may not remember me now, I am still the Feng Qingyue who spent that time with you."

She paused, her eyes sweeping across everyone present, her tone growing firmer. "Right now, I need your trust. Without trust, we won't be able to move forward together, nor will we be able to face the coming storm together. Building trust may take time, but at this moment, I can only ask you to give me some trust."

Jun Lingyuan stood beside Feng Qingyue, looking at her quietly, the undisguised support and determination in his eyes were obvious.

At this moment, Feng Qingyue's words were not only a request to them, but also a dependence and expectation on them.

Feng Qingcheng frowned and was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "It's indeed difficult for us to fully understand what you're saying right now. But since Ling Yuan is here, and our common enemy hasn't appeared yet, we choose to believe you."

Qian San and the others thought for a moment, then said firmly but with some doubt: "The master trusts you, and we will follow your instructions."

Feng Qingyue nodded, a flicker of gratitude in her eyes. Although her tone remained calm, the tension in her heart gradually relaxed: "Thank you."

Her voice was gentle yet powerful: "In this case, we must work together, trust each other, and move forward hand in hand to face the next challenge."

Jun Lingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could sense the deep meaning in Feng Qingyue's tone.

He took a few steps forward, scanning everyone present, and then spoke in a deep voice, "You all heard what Miss Feng said. She's right. We must work together for every step forward. We must not only face the enemy before us, but also those forces lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment."

He paused, his voice low and firm: "From today on, Feng Qingyue's orders are my orders. I trust her, and you must trust her too. No matter what happens in the future, seeing Feng Qingyue is seeing me, Jun Lingyuan."

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall fell into a brief silence.

Feng Qingyue was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Jun Lingyuan, a barely perceptible touch of emotion flashing in her eyes.

Jun Lingyuan's words were exactly the support she longed for. Her eyes softened. This was not only her personal request, but also their firm belief in facing the future together.

She knew that building trust wasn't a one-sided process, but rather a collaborative effort by everyone. At that moment, she knew she wasn't alone.
