Mu Yunshang raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself: Could it be that Consort Yan has memories of her past life?

As far as she knew, in her previous life, Consort Yan had been sent out of the palace. As for what happened after that, she had no idea, but she figured Marquis Yan wouldn't abandon her.

Mu Yunshang hesitated for a moment, her gaze meeting Xiao Yuxi's expectant eyes. In the end, she couldn't bear to leave Xixi alone in the palace to wait in vain. So she reached out and took her little hand, and together they walked towards Consort Yan's palace.

Consort Yan was slumped on the cold ground, and the maids around her kept their distance, none daring to approach her.

Mu Yunshang had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the deep and shallow nail scratches on the faces of several maids and eunuchs.

Upon hearing the noise, Yan Fei, like a startled bird, suddenly looked up at Mu Yunshang, then quickly knelt down and rushed to her side, hugging her legs tightly.

Mu Yunshang quickly waved to the maid who was about to separate the two, and stared at Yan Fei, who was clearly mentally unstable, with a worried expression.

At first, she thought that Consort Yan had just accidentally uttered a few words about her past life, but the maid beside her misunderstood it as her going crazy.

However, Yan Fei's true state at this moment clearly shows that she has indeed gone mad.

Yan Fei clung tightly to Mu Yunshang's leg, refusing to let go even for a moment.

"Your Majesty, save me, save me!"

"They all have to come! They all do!"

As the maidservant approached, Consort Yan's eyes widened to their limit, filled with anger and fear. She screamed hoarsely, "Don't touch me!"

"Get away!" Yan Fei kicked her legs frantically as if she had gone mad, but her hands still clung tightly to Mu Yunshang's thighs, showing no sign of letting go.

Mu Yunshang noticed her unusual state and quickly squatted down to check on her, asking with a puzzled look, "You... Sister Yanfei, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Yan Fei suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with terror, and then quickly lowered her head again after looking around.

Mu Yunshang felt increasingly strange and continued to ask, "Don't be afraid, just tell your sister if anything happens, and your sister will help you."

Yan Fei's body trembled, her lips quivered, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth, "My father... my father has gone mad. He's gone mad." Her voice was filled with endless fear and despair.

Mu Yunshang was taken aback. She turned to the maids standing to the side and instructed them, "You may all leave now. Take good care of Xixi."

Xiao Yuxi was led away from the room by the maids, and the others in the room also left one after another.

With only Mu Yunshang and Yan Fei remaining, the atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

Mu Yunshang gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Sister Yanfei. There are only the two of us here now, so you can speak freely. What exactly happened? Why did you say your father has gone mad?"

Yan Fei's initially terrified eyes gradually returned to calm, but her hands continued to tug at her clothes, as if trying to wrap herself up tightly.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "My father, he..." Yan Fei's voice was almost choked with sobs.

Mu Yunshang frowned and asked with concern, "Lord Yan? What did he do to you?"

Tears welled up in Yan Fei's eyes instantly, and she cried extremely miserably, choking out, "He...he locked me in a cage and offered me to that old emperor of the Sand Kingdom."

“It wasn’t just the old emperor, there were many, many hands right in front of me. I was tied up by him, and my crying and screaming were useless. He is definitely not my father. My father would never do such a thing.”

Yan Fei shook her head frantically, burying her face tightly in her knees, her whole body trembling with fear.

Mu Yunshang seemed to understand her fragmented words and was somewhat surprised. She had thought that sending her out of the palace was a way of saving her...

"You... is this what you experienced after the fall of the Moon Kingdom?" Mu Yunshang's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, her body trembling uncontrollably, as if she had heard the most absurd joke in the world.

She could never have imagined that this once noble, elegant, and stunning woman would suffer such a miserable fate.

They were locked in cages and offered up like merchandise to the people of that sand kingdom.

It's important to know that the old emperor of the Sand Kingdom was notoriously licentious and tyrannical. The first thing he did after conquering the Moon Kingdom's territory was to order all the women, regardless of age, to be sent to him. He personally selected them and then distributed them as rewards for his victory to his generals.

Many young children could not withstand such torture and died on the spot. Those who were lucky enough to survive were hung at the city gate by his order, to show off and demonstrate to the Yue people.

The thought of these things filled Mu Yunshang with anger and grief.

"The Moon Kingdom is gone..." Consort Yan bit her lip, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam. She gripped Mu Yunshang's hand tightly, as if trying to draw warmth and strength from her.

"My mother is gone, and I couldn't protect my sister either. Everything has vanished. I really want to die, but I can't even ask to die."

Yan Fei's voice was filled with despair and helplessness, each word striking Mu Yunshang's heart like a heavy hammer. She could feel the deep pain and sorrow in Yan Fei's heart, and that sense of powerlessness made her heart ache.

"Why won't you let me die?" Yan Fei suddenly became agitated. She struggled desperately, trying to bang her head against the wall.

"Let me die!"

Mu Yunshang reacted quickly, reaching out to protect Yan Fei's forehead, afraid that she might hurt herself.

"It's alright, it's alright. We've been reborn, we won't experience that again. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Under Mu Yunshang's comforting words, Consort Yan gradually calmed down.

“Rebirth?” Yan Fei repeated the word weakly and tremblingly, her eyes wide, staring at her helplessly.

Does the Moon Kingdom still exist?

"Yes, the Moon Kingdom still exists."

"Am I still in the palace?"

“That’s right.” Mu Yunshang gazed at her tenderly.

Yan Fei looked around at the familiar decorations, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She shook her head frantically and pounded her head with her hands, as if that would make her feel better.

After a long silence, Yan Fei finally calmed down, staring blankly at Mu Yunshang before her. "You're not dead?"

Mu Yunshang gently shook her head and patiently answered her, "I am still alive."

"Living...you're all alive...why are you still alive? You have to go!" Yan Fei suddenly stood up and pushed Mu Yunshang towards the door. "Go! Those people are too scary. You absolutely can't stay here. Go now!"
