Ye Qingxue took his hand again and asked, "Xiao Bao, can you sense how much vitality I have right now? Is it full?"

Xiao Bao said, "Father said that Mother is safe now, no one will dare to hurt you anymore, and you will live a long and healthy life!"

Ye Qingxue then asked Chunqian and Xialu to bring up her old toys. Ye Qingxue took out the phoenix kite and the bamboo dragonfly. Although Xiaobao loved them and asked Dongbai how to play with the bamboo dragonfly, he didn't have the same look in his eyes as when he saw the old things.

But what's amazing is that Xiao Bao actually remembers everything that happened in the past three years, including every little thing Ye Qingxue taught him.

Ye Qingxue was extremely puzzled. She had a dream that night in which she saw a celestial being with an otherworldly air.

The deity told her, "When Xiao Bao was queuing up to choose his parents, he chose you and Yun Zhuo. However, your predestined relationship in your previous life was wrong, and this child waited for a hundred years but was unable to be born."

"His long-held wish has become an obsession; he refused to change his parents. Only by 'setting things right' could he be born successfully. He came with special abilities to help you and your husband, and also to help himself."

"Now that you have achieved your goal, his long-held obsession has been redeemed, and he is happily coming to be your child. What special ability does he need?"

When Ye Qingxue woke up, she was already in tears. She turned to look at Xiao Bao, who was still sleeping next to her. It turned out that the man from before had come to help her and Yun Zhuo.

His wish became an obsession; he must have been waiting very hard.

What merits or qualities did she and Yun Zhuo possess to be chosen by him with such unwavering resolve?

When Ye Qingxue saw Mo Yuan again, she told him about her previous doubts and the dream.

Mo Yuan pondered for a long time before saying, "When Xiao Bao left the Crown Prince's residence, it was probably because he deliberately let the people from the Xuan Prince's residence capture him, so that the Xuan Prince could arrange some forces to deal with you, while lowering his guard against you, and then let Xiao Bao return at the crucial moment, so that you could win a great victory."

Mo Yuan sighed: "This is probably the last help Xiao Bao gave you before. He left, and he came back. This is your destiny, which cannot be severed even across past and present lives."

Ye Qingxue asked, "Did Lord Mo already foresee this back then?"

Mo Yuan did not answer, but only said, "The eternal lamp can be extinguished."

After Ye Qingxue's legs recovered, she went to Shenyin Temple with Yun Zhuo and Xiao Bao. The hundreds of guards who protect the eternal lamps were still there, adding oil to the lamps every day.

Now, the family of three stands before the eternal lamp, their hearts filled with endless sorrow.

The lamp wasn't very bright, and it could only illuminate a small area, but it once brought them boundless hope.

As if hallucinating, Xiao Bao saw a chubby baby in the center of the quietly burning light, choosing his parents in the sky. He chose Yun Zhuo and Ye Qingxue, waiting for decades or even centuries just to be their child.

In the end, he received news that Yun Zhuo and Ye Qingxue had both died. He did not change his parents, but continued to wait.

In the midst of endless waiting, in order to reverse the fate of his parents' deaths in their previous lives, he resolutely agreed to work for a seemingly otherworldly immortal for ten years...

The ever-burning lamp seemed to possess a powerful gravitational pull, continuously illuminating the area in front of him and the immortal, forming a faint, small bridge of light. This bridge of light remained unchanged for three years, growing brighter each day.

Perhaps his parents' calls were too poignant and too moving, so in less than ten years, the immortal sent him on his way home.

Xiao Bao seemed to see that person walking towards him step by step along the light. He reached out his chubby hand to take him, and the child became one with him.

He is who he is.

They are the same person.

Xiao Bao fell asleep in front of the eternal lamp. Yun Zhuo held him in his arms, and the family of three went to the statue to fulfill their vow.

The couple offered incense, knelt before the statue of the deity, pressed their palms together, closed their eyes, and were extremely devout.

—I was too young then and never believed in the power of ghosts and gods. It wasn't until I gave birth to my child and found out that he was mentally challenged, didn't recognize his parents, and couldn't speak that he might never know who he was. At that time, the power of ghosts and gods became my last hope.

Ye Qingxue and Yun Zhuo kowtowed, and when they opened their eyes, they found that they were both in tears, and the statue in front of them seemed to be smiling at them.

Many days later.

The innocent and cheerful voices of children could be heard on the streets of Kyoto.

"Daddy, Mommy, the candied hawthorns are so delicious, they're sweet and sour!"

"Yay! My parents are taking me to fly a kite. This is my first time flying a kite!"

"I want to eat sugar shortbread, Daddy, go buy some for me and Mommy!"

"The sugar figurines and tofu pudding look good too, I want some!"

"Father, Mother, first place! Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our kite soars high! We won first place in the kite flying competition!"

On that day, many people saw the phoenix kite soaring high into the sky, and they also saw the couple guarding Xiaobao's side.

At this moment, they were not the emperor and empress, but a couple named Ye Qingxue and Yun Zhuo, the parents of a child named Xiao Bao, sharing the blue sky and white clouds, the sunshine and the breeze, and the simplest and most genuine human happiness and joy with everyone present.
