Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

When the news reached the Ye family, it was already getting dark. Upon hearing that Princess Longyu was in trouble, Ye Wanning immediately took Yunzhi to the princess's residence.

When she arrived, she saw Xie Bohuai standing at the door, his arm bandaged, also injured. Their eyes met, and Ye Wanning hurriedly entered the main hall.

Jiang Mama's eyes were already red. "Miss, don't cry later. His Highness has something to say to you."

"Is your stepmother seriously injured? How could the carriage have been hit on the way to the palace?" Ye Wanning didn't understand. How could such an accident happen in the capital?

Granny Jiang said that the carriage suddenly stopped because a beggar suddenly appeared in front of it, which caused another carriage at the intersection to crash into it.

Ye Wanning entered the inner hall and saw Princess Longyu's pale face. Tears fell uncontrollably. She knelt on the edge of the bed, but before she could speak, Princess Longyu told her not to cry.

“Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the most common things. I have lived enough in this life, so you don’t need to be sad for me.” Princess Longyu’s ribs were broken, and the imperial physician said there was nothing that could be done. She knew that her days were numbered. “It’s just a pity that I haven’t… cough cough… I haven’t made arrangements for your future. I can no longer protect you from the wind and rain in the future.”

"No, godmother, you are a princess. The imperial physicians will definitely do their best to treat you." Ye Wanning could not accept such a sudden result.

Princess Longyu said, "Actually, I've been on my deathbed for the past few years. Even without this accident, I wouldn't have lived much longer. Wanning, listen to me. Given your and the Ye family's current situation, you need a powerful backer. Don't blame me for being nosy, but I didn't get your permission this time. I really don't have the time."

She looked at Ye Wanning with regret. Upon learning that Ye Wanning had returned, Princess Longyu was determined to do everything in her power to help Ye Wanning and her son. However, she was getting old and hadn't considered the consequences for others.

Without Princess Longyu, the Ye family would be unprotected, and given Xie Bohuai's connections, people in the capital would secretly make their move.

Princess Longyu was well aware that the political climate in the court could change at any time. Since the Ye family's predicament was caused by Xie Bohuai, she decided to let Xie Bohuai bear the consequences.

So Xie Bohuai killed the frightened horse. When she woke up, she summoned Xie Bohuai to the inner palace, leaving him alone.

“Wan Ning, there’s nothing else I can do to help you. The Princess’s residence will inevitably be taken back, and that villa will be yours. Many things can’t be kept quiet just because you want to hide. Since I can’t accompany you any longer, I’ll give you a push. I’ve already told Xie Bohuai about Le Ge’er’s situation. He already knows about Le Ge’er’s background. Regardless of whether you two will get married, with this connection, he will protect the Ye family and you.” Princess Longyu apologized, “I originally wanted you two to develop your relationship on your own, but I didn’t expect this unexpected turn of events. Wan Ning, you don’t need to observe mourning for me, nor do you need to be sad. If you help me send a letter to Wusu, it will fulfill our mother-daughter bond.”

In the end, Princess Longyu had no strength left, and Jiang Mama, who was standing by, was heartbroken to see this.

Seeing the letter that Princess Longyu tremblingly took out, Ye Wanning reached out and took it, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the letter to Wusu."

"Alright, I believe you." Princess Longyu's thin lips curled into a helpless smile. "Don't cry. Since you can't avoid it, fight your way out. I believe you can do it."

Inside the palace, Princess Longyu was giving her final instructions to Ye Wanning, while Xie Bohuai stood under the long corridor outside the palace.

The snow in the yard had melted, but now a light drizzle was falling, the wind whipping up the raindrops that lashed coldly against Xie Bohuai's face.

But Xie Bohuai didn't feel cold.

How come he didn't notice?

Xie Bohuai asked himself this question over and over again.

He only vaguely remembered what Le Ge'er looked like when he saw Ye Wanning. Le Ge'er was actually his child.

Xie Bohuai was shocked. It turned out that Ye Wanning had faked her death to escape because of this child.

In this way, the many questions surrounding the husband's family that could not be found can all be explained.

Faced with such a sudden result, Xie Bohuai was momentarily stunned.

This was the first time he had ever been so bewildered; he didn't know what to do.

But Princess Longyu had no reason to lie; upon careful recollection, he realized it was indeed possible.

Xie Bohuai turned his head and glanced inside the hall. Today's events were definitely not an accident, but Princess Longyu told him not to talk to Ye Wanning too much, because she didn't want Ye Wanning to live in hatred again.

"Xie Bohuai, although they all say you're not good, I still think you're alright. Wan Ning is my adopted daughter, and I'll entrust her to your care from now on. If you want to give her a title, it can only be as my legal wife. Remember this: the only person in the world most likely to treat you sincerely is Wan Ning, so don't let her down."

The words of Princess Longyu still lingered in Xie Bohuai's mind.

At this moment, a wail came from inside the hall, and Xie Bohuai knew that Princess Longyu had passed away.

Even Xie Bohuai was shaken at this moment.

He stepped into the hall, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed open the door.

Throughout his life, he had always hesitated when it came to matters of the heart, but now he could no longer hold back.
