"What's going on? Why doesn't she know who she is?"

Outside the door, Chu Yunmo grabbed the doctor's collar and questioned him.

"Young...Young master, please spare me! I just mentioned that this young lady has a blood clot in her brain. Perhaps the blood clot is pressing on her nerves, which is why she has amnesia."

The doctor stammered, and Mu Chun stepped forward upon hearing this.

"Young Master, Miss Xu Han's amnesia isn't a bad thing, we..."

After Mu Chun whispered something to Chu Yunmo, Chu Yunmo finally released the doctor, her thin lips parting slightly.

"roll."

The doctor practically scrambled out of the room.

Seeing Chu Yunmo return, "Blood Purple Rose" weakly asked in the room,

"Young master, can you tell me who I am now?"

"Blood Purple Rose" pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered.

"Your name is Luo Yun, and you are the daughter of Luo Xi, the former princess of the Qingyu Kingdom. You are my fiancée."

For some reason, Chu Yunmo made up this excuse.

"Fiancée? And who are you then?"

"Blood Purple Rose" looked puzzled.

"My name is Qiu Yunce, and I am the sixth son of the Grand Preceptor of Qingyu Kingdom."

There are four older brothers and one older sister, named Qiu Wenyuan, Qiu Ziming, Qiu Jianxin, Qiu Siyuan, and Qiu Shihhan. As for the younger ones…

Qiu Yunce paused for a moment,

You'll find out later.

"Why the previous dynasty? If I am Princess Luo Xi's child, then where is my mother? And where is my maternal grandfather?"

Upon learning that her name was Luo Yun and that she was the child of Princess Luo Xi from the previous dynasty, "Xue Ziwei" asked a series of questions like a curious child.

"They're all dead. Now it's my father, the Imperial Preceptor Qiu Tianxiang, who's in power."

Qiu Yunze remained calm and composed, but "Blood Purple Rose" was still filled with doubts.

"Since Qiu Tianxiang is in power, why call him the Imperial Preceptor? Shouldn't he be called the Emperor?"

Besides, even if my maternal grandfather and mother are both dead, it's not like a national advisor should be in power. Did my maternal grandfather only have one child, my mother?

If he truly had no children, did his maternal grandfather have no brothers or sisters? Did they also have no children? Couldn't one of them be adopted by his maternal grandfather to inherit the family line?

No matter what, the country shouldn't be handed over to an outsider!

"Blood Purple Rose" continued to speak, and Qiu Yunce shouted angrily.

"Enough. Just listen to what I have to say. There's no need for any more nonsense. Remember, don't mention these words again. If Father hears them, your fate will be terrible, and even I can't save you."

Qiu Yunce flicked his sleeves and left. "Blood Purple Rose" blinked.

"What did I just say wrong? Why is he so angry?"

"Zixiao Kingdom."

Li Mufeng and Zhao Hu rode swiftly towards the capital. When they arrived at "Mingyue Bay", a dark figure rushed towards their horses, and the two quickly reined in their horses.

Only then did they realize that it was a person, covered in blood.

"Hey bro, wake up, wake up! What happened? Did you run into thieves?"

Seeing that the man was wearing official robes, Zhao Hu jumped off his horse and patted the face of the officer who was about to faint.

"Quickly...quickly save General Ye..."

As he spoke, the man breathed his last.

"Hey! Brother, wake up, wake up! Where is General Ye?"

Zhao Hu called for a long time, then shook his head.

"Your Highness is dead."

Li Mufeng's dark eyes swept around, and he shouted in a deep voice,

"Quickly, speed up, let's go check out the front."

There is only one general with the surname Ye in the Zixiao Kingdom, and that is General Ye Fan, the Tiger Warrior.

Valley of the Underworld

Rumor has it that no one can leave this place alive. When Li Mufeng went to "Chenxi County", he chose to take a detour for fear of accidents.

Given the current unclear situation in the capital and his concern for his father's safety, Li Mufeng chose to take a shortcut and thus arrived here.

"Your Highness, this is the 'Valley of the Netherworld.' It is said that villains have taken up arms here, specializing in killing passing merchants and robbing them of their money and provisions. We must be careful."

Zhao Hu took out the map he carried with him. Li Mufeng's dark eyes swept around and saw that there had been a bloody battle here. There were corpses everywhere, including government officials and people in plain clothes. Blood flowed like a river and the casualties were heavy.

Mountain bandits generally do not openly oppose the government unless someone offers them a large sum of money; otherwise, they will not take the risk.

Thinking of all this, Li Mufeng parted his thick lips slightly.

"Go up the mountain."

"Huh? Up the mountain?"

Zhao Hu thought he had misheard and couldn't help but mutter something.

"No, Your Highness, everyone else takes a detour when they come here, why do you insist on going into the lion's den?"

Because of the disappearance of "Blood Purple Rose," Li Mufeng was in a bad mood and full of hostility. He only glanced at Zhao Hu, who was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly shouted.

"Change course to 'Netherworld Valley'."

In the "Valley of the Underworld",

A group of henchmen were surrounding a man covered in wounds, making comments and assessments.

"Boss, why do we need to capture this person? Can't we just kill him?"

A henchman asked the boss, Xue Gui.

“Kill him? Who will give us the money? That Grand Tutor Feng is already dead. I’m going to take his life and demand money from the court.”

Xue Gui slapped the henchman hard on the head, cursing Grand Tutor Feng for his short life.

"My life is worthless. You are courting death by demanding payment from the court."

"Falling into your hands is my bad luck. Do with it as you see fit."

Ye Fan was a tough nut to crack, and he snorted coldly.

"You think you're worthless? Then I'll demand payment from the Ye family. If you dare say another word, believe me, I'll kick you to death."

Xue Gui was furious and kicked Ye Fan several times.

"Ah...ah..."

Just then, several screams came from afar, and Xue Gui turned pale instantly, like a startled rabbit.

"What happened? What's going on?"

His voice was filled with fear and confusion; his eyes were wide open as he looked around, searching for answers.

"Boss... Boss, there are... there are government officials coming! Run!"

The henchman next to him trembled and pointed ahead.

Xue Gui looked up and saw a group of people in front of him. The leader was dressed in a milky white robe, looking like a handsome young man, but the sword in his hand told everyone that he was a devil, a demon.

The sword in his hand was like a swimming dragon, leaving streaks of blood wherever it went.

The people behind him were also fierce warriors, who slaughtered the people of "Netherworld Valley" so that they could only run away and had no power to fight back.

"My lord, spare me! My lord, spare me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm willing to make amends! Make amends!"

When Li Mufeng held the sword to Xue Gui's neck, Xue Gui, in order to save his life, revealed everything that Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen and Grand Tutor Feng had made him do.

Zhao Hu also found many letters in the "Valley of the Underworld". Over the years, in order to eliminate dissidents, Feng Xiuzhen had Xue Gui help kill many court officials. Even the current emperor Li Hongwen's mother, Consort Rong, was intimidated by Xue Gui and others, which caused her to have a difficult childbirth...

Li Mufeng read all the letters and was so angry that his eyes widened in fury.

"Kill them all for me."

She then put away all the letters, believing that once her father saw them, he would no longer show mercy to Empress Dowager Fengxiu.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."

Seeing that all the bandits of "Netherworld Valley" had been killed, Ye Fan struggled to his feet and limped over to Li Mufeng.

"This humble general is ashamed. I failed to arrive at 'Chenxi County' as promised to assist Your Highness. Instead, Your Highness has come to rescue me. I am truly sorry for failing to live up to His Majesty's trust. I beg Your Highness to punish me."

Ye Fan felt extremely guilty, and Li Mufeng reached out to help her up.

"General Ye, there is no need to feel guilty. The bandits here are rampant. If they hadn't used such underhanded methods, General Ye wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. It was they who drugged us in the town ahead. I was careless, so..."

Ye Fan was filled with remorse and regret. If he had been more cautious, so many of his brothers would not have died.

"What's done is done. Blaming yourself won't bring them back. You should think about how to make amends for your mistakes!"

Li Mufeng left those words behind, turned around, and prepared to leave. He needed to return to the capital as soon as possible and had no time to linger here.

"By the way, Your Highness, this is a letter that His Majesty sent to you."

Watching Li Mufeng's retreating figure, Ye Fan suddenly called out.
