Hearing their little princess's words, Yuanyuan's parents suddenly felt a little more at ease.

There have always been rumors that straight men are immortals, and today they naturally saw the thing that appeared out of thin air.

Since the little princess has spoken, there's basically still hope for Yuanyuan.

Regardless of whether this matter is related to the little princess, they will not pursue the matter further, but only hope that the little princess can save their daughter.

Yuanyuan's mother immediately knelt down in front of Su Muyao.

"Princess, I'm begging you to save my Yuanyuan, no matter the cost."

Su Muyao nodded: "Two years later, when Yuanyuan's soul is strong enough, I will find her a new body."

"Then she will take the form of a lotus flower, and as long as... Yuanyuan can live for hundreds of years without any problem."

They received Su Muyao's affirmation and nodded repeatedly in agreement. It didn't matter if they found another body, as long as the soul was still their own daughter, that was fine.

They completely ignored the fact that their daughter was hundreds of years old; as long as she was alive, it didn't matter whether she could still remember them or not.

"Let's bury Uncle and Aunt!"

He nodded when he heard this, and Su Muyao went straight back to her residence.

He planned to go to the emperor's palace the next day to borrow troops to attack other countries.

The first country to attack is the Southern Feather Kingdom. Hopefully, the Southern Feather Kingdom's royal family can withstand their own turmoil!

Just after Su Muyao returned, Li Yong also arrived at the Princess's residence.

Upon learning that he was to be buried, Li Yong was devastated.

The only woman in my life who ever made my heart flutter, the only woman I wanted to protect for the rest of my life, is gone just like that.

What is the point of him living alone in this world?

For the first ten years or so, I didn't care about people and didn't think it was a big deal.

But once you become obsessed, the burning flames cannot be extinguished.

At this moment, all Li Yong wanted was to be with Yuanyuan for all eternity.

"Auntie, can I be with Yuanyuan?"

Yuanyuan's mother looked at the pain in Li Yong's eyes and understood perfectly.

In the end, he shook his head and said, "Let bygones be bygones for the child. Don't dwell on it. Go home now!"

Yuanyuan's mother naturally knew that since the little princess had agreed, she could certainly do it. The reason she didn't tell Li Yong was simply because she was afraid that if she did, it would have some negative impact on her daughter!

In short, anything that could be detrimental to one's daughter should be nipped in the bud.

Seven days later

Yuanyuan is about to be buried.

Li Yong arrived at the princess's residence early in the morning, accompanied by a coffin.

The funeral of Yuanyuan, who was originally a princess, was a major event, and many people would likely be invited to pay their respects.

But Yuanyuan's parents believed that their daughter was not dead and that she would come back to life in just two years.

It's just a matter of burying Yuanyuan's body; why let everyone know that their daughter is gone?

She was quite puzzled when she saw her future son-in-law carrying a coffin to her door.

What are you doing?

Then Li Yong glanced at his father-in-law.

He knelt down immediately and said, "I kowtow to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's my fault. I failed to protect Yuanyuan."

Although I haven't formally married Yuanyuan, she is already my wife, Li Yong's wife.

Since we are not destined to be together in this life, I only pray for the next.

I would also like to trouble my parents-in-law to grant my sincere wish.

Just as the two were about to say something, they saw Li Yong take out a dagger and plunge it into his own chest.

This terrified the two elders.

Just as they were about to fetch a doctor, they saw Li Yong plunge the dagger in again, then yank it out.

"I beg my father-in-law and mother-in-law to bury me and Yuanyuan together."

As soon as Li Yong finished speaking, the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Yuanyuan's head slowly tilted to the side, while her mother checked her breathing.

"Silly child, you are such a silly child!"

Why couldn't you wait for Yuanyuan like we did? Maybe he could still come back to life?

The couple couldn't help but admire Li Yong's sincere love for his daughter.

I can't help but wonder if things would have turned out differently if I had told others about it back then?

But if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they probably still wouldn't tell, right? ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ

In their hearts, as long as their daughter is alive, what do other people and things matter to them?

Call them cold-blooded or selfish, but they want their daughter to live a good life in this world.

Even if it meant taking their lives, they wouldn't care, so even if there was the slightest uncertainty, they wouldn't dare to spread the word.

When Su Muyao learned that Li Yong had committed suicide for love, she was completely dumbfounded.

He took the Soul-Locking Lamp out of the space.

"Yuanyuan, we probably won't see each other again. From now on, you'll take me to enjoy this world."

However, you'll have to wait patiently inside for two years until I unify the eight kingdoms.

The next morning, after Su Muyao had made all the preparations, she went straight to the morning court session.

When Su Muyao arrived, her entire aura changed.

Everyone could tell that the little princess in front of them was no longer the lazy and listless girl she used to be.

Instead, his expression carried a hint of resentment, and the smile that used to grace his lips was gone.

As soon as the emperor stepped into the main hall, he saw Su Muyao standing below, standing ramrod straight.

He couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the little princess in front of him.

The emperor had naturally heard about the young princess's affair.

They also knew that it was people sent down from the Southern Feather Kingdom who had tortured and killed the young princess.

The emperor looked at Su Muyao nervously and asked, "Princess, has something come of your business today?"

Su Muyao nodded: "I came here today specifically to borrow some people from my royal uncle."

The emperor sighed: "Since Yao Yao has already asked, just tell me how much she wants."

Su Muyao said, "I'll take as many as you have, and some of the soldiers on the border can also be withdrawn."

An old minister standing nearby immediately jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

There's still some conflict along the border. What if most of the people are evacuated and the enemy attacks?

Su Muyao glared at her with a single look.

"Why don't you ask me what I need these soldiers for? You just won't agree to attack."

Why would we need others to attack us? I want to lead my troops to conquer the other seven kingdoms.

I, the princess, will declare today that I will unify the eight kingdoms.

All eight countries have the surname Long; I, the princess, was mistaken before.

They believed that war would only lead to widespread suffering, but they forgot that a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.

After Su Muyao finished speaking, everyone in the entire hall gasped in shock.
