I think my luck is turning around.

After returning to Beijing, both Gong Ken and Li Yue'er received letters from Li Yu. Gong Ken's letter was handwritten, while Li Yue'er's was written by someone else. Li Yu's excuse was that he was in a bad mood and had a guard write it for him, but the truth was that she didn't know how to write traditional Chinese characters. In the past, when they were working in Beijing, he mostly relied on Li Yue'er to write for him.

In the letter to Gong Ken, she wrote: "Brother, I'm free! Don't miss me, I'm fine! Please help take care of Li Yue'er; when she gets married, her dowry will be the entire General's Mansion. Also, please help me put on a grand funeral, the kind that everyone will believe. See you again, bye~"

The message to Li Yue'er was very formal and brief: I'm fine, don't worry about me. See you later.

The army was deeply saddened upon returning to the capital, and Li Yu's personal guards were disbanded. This was Li Yu's decision: "After returning to the capital, my personal guards can be disbanded. Each person will receive one hundred taels of silver and return to civilian life. Whether you return to farming or whatever, I hope you will all have a peaceful and prosperous future."

At the funeral, Li Yue'er cried very sadly. Gong Ken helped with the arrangements. As expected, the Second Prince appeared at the funeral and fainted from crying. Afterwards, the Second Prince was somewhat delirious, always feeling that Li Yu was still alive.

Everyone talks about Li Yu's sacrifice for the country and the Second Prince's infatuation, but no one knows that Li Yu "died" on the battlefield in order to escape.

An Ge and Ji Xia stood at Li Yu's funeral, looking at the heartbroken Li Yue'er, offering no words of comfort. This child's acting was superb; it was the kind of acting that could fool the entire world.

"Will Yang Xi be able to find a way back?"

Ji Xia's question made An Ge pause for a moment, but An Ge still answered, "Yang Xi and Yang Zimeng are both story-based time travelers. As long as they reach the end of the story, they can go back. However, there is still a long time before the end of the story."

"A story-driven time travel?"

Ji Xia began to question the words An Ge used; they were terms she had never heard before. An Ge offered no explanation, only stating the literal meaning. An Ge's own transmigration was a mission-oriented transmigration, a transmigration to serve as a support role. But Ji Xia's transmigration was something she hadn't yet properly categorized.

At this moment, a eunuch dressed in palace attire rushed in. Fengyuan, the emperor's trusted advisor, had already been there, bestowing upon him all the rewards and posthumous honors he deserved. What was going on now?

"Mr. Ji, the Second Prince is critically ill."

Ji Xia was still in a daze. The Second Prince was critically ill? After realizing what was happening, Ji Xia quickly followed the eunuch, and An Ge was also forced to go with her. When they arrived at the Second Prince's residence, the atmosphere was very heavy.

Inside the Second Prince's residence, everything was quiet, eerily quiet. Just as Ji Xia reached the door of the Second Prince's room, she heard sobbing. It was Yi Yunhan crying. Ji Xia went inside and saw Yi Yunhan slumped over the bed, and Ming Kang lying on the bed, barely breathing.

"Kang'er, you can't abandon your mother!"

The sound of crying made Ji Xia feel extremely desolate. She had seen this scene more than once, and every time she saw it, it brought her the same bitterness. However, An Ge, standing to the side, did not show much emotion. She seemed to have no feelings at all, only watching Ji Xia's expression.

“Their problem can be solved. Life is the continuation of emotions, and consciousness is the transference of emotions. Consort Jia must have her own way.”

Yi Yunhan lay there by Ming Kang's bedside. What could she do? She could change her own body, but what about Ming Kang? He was a member of the royal family, and his status meant he was excluded from the Yi family.

Yi Yunhan cried even harder. The head of the family would not break the rules, and her Kang'er could not enter the main family. What should she do with her Kang'er?
