The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Li Liuyun grasped Nangong Li's hand, and the two returned to the space.

"Why don't you rest in this space for a while? I'll give her the antidote to the Forgetfulness Pill, then check the exact location of the Puppet Gu. After that, we'll go back to the Imperial Study together to see what those two edicts actually say."

Nangong Li nodded: "Then I won't bother you anymore, come back soon!"

Li Liu nodded, then disappeared into the space.

After leaving the space, Li Liuyun poured a cup of tea from the teacup on the table and added a drop of spiritual spring water. Then he helped the Empress sit up, leaning her against his chest, and put the Rejuvenation Pill into her mouth, and fed her some water as well.

Li Liuyun lifted the Empress's chin, and then watched as the Empress swallowed the pill. The Empress's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her complexion seemed to be much rosier than before.

"Ling'er, could you check if the Forgetfulness Pill in her body has been neutralized?"

The system detected that the effects of the Forgetfulness Pill had worn off in her body, and according to her brainwaves, her past memories were slowly returning.

However, it will probably take three to five days to recover all the memories. After all, it's been decades since I forgot everything, and it will take some effort to find out all of it. I have to proceed step by step, otherwise I might damage my brain.

"Ling'er, could you check for me again to see where the puppet gu in her body is currently residing?"

"Okay, master!"

A moment later, Ling'er's voice rang out: "Good heavens! This puppet gu is cunning enough. The gu worm is actually hiding in her heart meridian! No wonder the book records that the puppet gu can not only ward off disasters, but once the offspring gu betrays the mother gu, it will consciously forget its heart meridian."

"This isn't suicide, is it? It must have been bitten by the Gu worm, severing its heart meridian and causing its death. But Master, don't worry, our spiritual spring water is a treasure. Nothing that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water can resist its allure. That tiny Gu worm, easily controlled!"

Li Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ling'er's words. After all, Gu worms are close to the heart, and if they move, just as the books say, they can damage the heart meridian, and even a god couldn't save you. Luckily, he hadn't acted rashly!

While feeling relieved, Li Liuyun began to curse Chu Batian again: "He is truly despicable, shameless, and vile. He actually came up with such a vicious method to deal with a woman and confine her to the deep palace for decades to live as a widow. He is a beast."

Originally, Li Liuyun and Nangong Li had come to the palace to investigate Chu Batian's situation and the reasons for his change. Now it seems that Chu Batian hasn't changed at all; rather, another person's soul now resides in his body—the transmigrator they've been referring to.

Now that the location of the Gu worms had been found, Li Liuyun felt more confident. With a wave of his hand, the antidote for the Half-Day Intoxication was administered.

After Li Liuyun drank a cup of tea, Empress Ji Rouxue slowly woke up, opened her eyes, and then turned to look at Li Liuyun sitting at the table.

She exclaimed with delight, "Miracle Doctor, I've remembered some things from the past, just a small part, not the whole story."

Li Liuyun nodded: "Take it slow, you'll gradually remember. But don't force yourself or think too much. If you forget something from decades ago and suddenly remember it all at once, your brain will be overloaded! You have to proceed step by step, otherwise you'll damage your brain!"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Ji Rouxue looked at him with eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Divine Doctor, for relieving the effects of the Forgetfulness Pill. My son and I will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. When I saved Chu Yu, I didn't know he was the son of the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang. He had once recognized me as his master and promised to do things for me for three years."

I promised him I would help him resolve all his worries! You are his family, so naturally I will lend a hand!

Ji Rouxue nodded: "Yu'er is fortunate to have been saved by you, and to have become friends with you and acknowledge you as his master. It is his good fortune, and it is also our good fortune. We all benefit from it."

"It's getting late, and I have other matters to attend to. Your Majesty, please rest early. Also, regarding the matter of memories, please remember to proceed gradually and not force it."

I have a bottle of elixir here. Just add a drop to your tea; it will help regulate your body. Improved sleep and appetite will naturally follow, leading to overall better health. I hope our next meeting will be outside the palace, not inside!

Ji Rouxue accepted the spiritual spring water from Li Liuyun, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Miss! Miss, may I send someone to escort you out of the palace?"

Li Liuyun shook his head and said with a smile, "You can rest assured. No one in this palace can find me, and even if they do, no one can stop me!"

Ji Rouxue nodded after hearing Li Liuyun's words: "Then take care, young lady, we'll meet again another day!"

Li Liuyun waved his hand, left the room, and slipped into the space where Ji Rouxue couldn't see him.

"Let's go to the Imperial Study and see what those two secret edicts say," Li Liuyun said, then used his spatial ability to bring Nangong Li back to the Imperial Study.

Although the imperial study was brightly lit this time, no one could be seen. Li Liuyun had Ling'er scan the room. They discovered that two hidden guards were concealed within the study, and Ling'er told Li Liuyun their hiding place.

Using his spatial ability, Li Liuyun took out a Half-Day Intoxication pill from an unseen corner, crushed it into powder with his hand, and blew it into the air.

A moment later, Li Liuyun watched as the two guards fell from their hiding place. With a wave of his hand, Li Liuyun put the two into his spatial storage.

It wasn't that Li Liuyun was afraid of hurting them, but rather that the sound of their falling would alert the eunuchs and maids guarding outside. Anyway, they were under his half-day intoxication. Without the antidote, they wouldn't wake up for several hours.

Li Liuyun and Nangong Li flashed out of the space and arrived at the place where Chu Lingtian had mentioned hiding the imperial edict. Li Liuyun opened the hidden compartment and took out two long brocade boxes.

He placed the brocade box on the desk. The box had a seal and a wax seal on it. He thought for a moment and then spoke with Ling'er: "Ling'er, if I remove this seal and wax seal now, can you help me restore it to its original state?"

"Master, this is nothing, it's no big deal. Just drive, and I promise to restore you to your original state!"

Li Liuyun relayed Ling'er's words to Nangong Li, who nodded in agreement.

Li Liuyun removed the seal from one of the boxes, peeled off the wax, and took out the bright yellow imperial edict. Upon unfolding it, both of them showed expressions of surprise! On the bright yellow edict were written three large characters: "Edict of Self-Reproach!"
