Just as Wuchen put away his zither and bent down to carry Su Qing away...

The dead pregnant woman's husband picked up the knife from the ground and rushed directly at Su Qing.

"You die! I want revenge for my wife and children!" Wuchen was about to cast a spell to defend himself.

But to everyone's surprise, the Empress suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Su Qing.

The man couldn't stop in time, and the knife plunged directly into the Empress's abdomen.

"Mother!" Su Xun exclaimed. Although he had developed a prejudice against Empress Feng because of Li Muge, he had never thought of letting Empress Feng die.

Su Qing hadn't expected this either. She ran up to the Empress, but the Empress pushed her away.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Empress Feng grabbed the blade with both hands and pulled the knife out by force.

Su Xun was also forbidden from using his magic to treat patients.

Her hands were covered in blood. She got up and knelt directly in front of the man who had lost his wife and children.

"I'm sorry, I know it's because I didn't raise my daughter well that she made such a big mistake. But the Phoenix King and I only have this one daughter."

"I will give my life in her place to repay you, and I hope you can forgive her."

Before the man could even speak, the Empress Feng unleashed her spiritual power, shattering his own heart meridian.

Even the physicians in the highest heavens might not be able to save him now.

"Mother, how could you be so foolish? Su Qing is not worth it at all," Su Xun said, tears welling up in her eyes before Su Qing arrived.

Empress Feng always treated her as well as Li Muge. Why? They used to be a good family.

Why did things come to this?

"Qing'er." The Empress raised her hand and called to Su Qing, who walked over at a loss.

The Empress Dowager grasped her hand and instructed, "Qing'er, live well with Emperor Wuchen and never go astray again. This is the last time your mother can protect you."

"Mother, Mother, don't die, don't leave Qing'er!" Su Qing cried, tears streaming down her face.

Asahime, who was standing to the side, saw clearly that it was actually the knife that had struck the husband of the pregnant woman who had just died in the clan.

Empress!

He could have easily avoided it, but he still desperately wanted to atone for his daughter's sins with his own life.

Asahime was also a mother.

This also allows one to understand and empathize with the Empress's thoughts.

I only hope that Su Qing can understand the Empress's good intentions and turn over a new leaf.

"Mother, don't die." Only then did Su Qing feel fear, in that instant.

She felt as if she had returned to the time when she learned her true identity, had a big fight with her adoptive parents, and wanted to find her biological parents.

But in the desolate mountains, she encountered a ferocious beast.

Her adoptive parents risked their lives to stop the beast, allowing her to run away.

She hesitated at first.

But all of this pales in comparison to becoming a princess adored by the masses.

My adoptive parents died.

My father is dead.

Now even her mother is dying, and there is no one left who truly loves her.

No one can protect her unconditionally anymore.

Su Qing was afraid of the future.

The Empress was about to die; blood kept flowing from her wounds, staining the ground. In a daze...

She thought she saw Li Muge.

"Mu, Mu Ge, I'm so sorry." After saying these words, the Empress closed her eyes and breathed her last.

"Mother." Su Qing's heart was filled with hatred. She hated it so much. Why had things come to this?

They still have feelings for Li Muge. All of this is because of Li Muge. She ruined her face and destroyed the beautiful life she should have had.

Thinking of this, Su Qing was so angry that she coughed up blood and fainted.

Wuchen quickly picked up Su Qing based on his instincts and prepared to leave.

Li Muge asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, Su Qing is a demon now. Aren't you afraid that bringing her to the Immortal Realm will implicate you?"

Wuchen stopped in his tracks: "I don't care. Qing'er is more important than those empty titles."

Li Muge, far away in the Demon Realm, withdrew her clone's perspective. In any case, Wuchen would soon find out what her revenge would be like.

At the same time.

In the mortal world, a village is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, as the village chief's son is going to marry the best embroiderer in the village.

This should have been the best possible match.

Unexpectedly, just as the bride and groom were about to bow to each other, the groom suddenly foamed at the mouth and died.

The bride was regarded as a widow who would bring bad luck to her husbands, and no one dared to approach her.

When Li Muge came to the mortal world, the unfortunate bride was Yu Linglong.

The one who killed her newlywed husband was naturally Prince Ale, who was hiding inside the Great Shaman's body.

Li Muge already had a goal in mind.

She enjoyed a few days of leisurely fun in the mortal realm, but the only unpleasant thing was that Shi Beixuan, her constant companion, followed her around again.

The kind that you can't shake off.

"Shi Beixuan!" Li Muge lost her temper and immediately drew her knife.

"If you continue to follow me, believe me, I'll castrate you directly. Anyway, I've done this before."

"Sister Muge." Shi Beixuan, with his hands behind his back, handed the plums to Li Muge as he approached her.

“I noticed that you especially like sweet and sour things, so I specially went to the villagers to buy some for you, my sister.”

Li Muge turned her head away.

"No way, Shi Beixuan, do you think I'm an eighteen-year-old girl? This little bit of candied fruit, if I wanted it, I would naturally buy it myself. Do I need you to send it to me?"

"If you have any conscience at all, then don't come near me, and it's best to stay away from me."

Li Muge knocked the fruit out of Shi Beixuan's hand and left without looking back.

One by one, the candied fruits fell to the ground. Shi Beixuan picked up the cloth bag and carefully collected the candied fruits one by one and put them back into the bag.

His face was gloomy and sad. He looked at the candied fruit in his palm, picked one up, and put it in his mouth.

Li Muge once clearly said that the taste of this candied fruit was just like their relationship.

Sweet and sour is the norm.

Therefore, Shi Beixuan always felt that he was only doing it for the sake of the family.

It's okay to let Li Muge go for a while; Li Muge will always be in the same place.

She waited for him to take her hand again.

But Shi Beixuan never expected that the feelings he once thought were so beautiful would change in an instant.

Li Muge married a demon lord and took concubines; she was no longer the same person she once was.

But Shi Beixuan was unwilling to give up.

Li Muge wandered around the mortal realm, knowing that she couldn't obtain the Love Pearl anytime soon anyway.

She found herself a good job in the mortal world: becoming a matchmaker.

Li Muge was extremely talented and quickly passed the examination of the Marriage Bureau in the mortal world, and was assigned to a small county town to work as a matchmaker.

That's considered a secure job.

Thanks to Yun Qi, Li Muge has recently taken a liking to a new hobby: making puppets.

The finished puppets are lifelike, with ropes threaded through their hands and feet to control them.

But Li Muge alone refused to put eyes on them, sitting in the small room assigned to her by the Marriage Bureau, playing with her little wooden puppets by herself.

"Knock knock".

"Come in." Li Muge wanted to fit her image and gain the trust of the guests who came to her for matchmaking.

She deliberately placed a beauty mark on her lip, the kind with a single hair attached.
