From any perspective, Bian Lang fits the bill perfectly.
But why was she so calm and unmoved when she saw Bian Lang's face?
"Your Majesty, shall we launch an attack under the cover of night?" Shen Sanmu interrupted the Empress's thoughts.
The Empress waved her hand and said, "The soldiers are all exhausted. They should rest well for the night and fight again tomorrow."
The rest of the night was very long.
Many people can't sleep, and even if they stay up until dawn, they still don't feel sleepy.
Bian Lang stood on the edge of the cliff and saw the Empress's figure appear on the opposite bank of the river.
Now, Bian Lang only wants to do one thing: remove the empress's veil and see if her face is the same one that has always appeared in his dreams.
"Bian Lang, go and have a good talk with him. What if he really is an old friend?" Liu Yi said with a smile.
Bian Lang wasn't in a hurry; he wanted to see the Empress's reaction first.
Dugu Qiusheng didn't say it aloud, but he muttered to himself, "When a person dies, they're dead. There's no need to be so attached to it."
A moment later, the Empress from the other side of the river arrived with less than a hundred people, walking along the magic gourd-shaped road.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were lined up neatly at the rear, exuding a murderous aura and a terrifying momentum.
"It seems the Empress also thinks Bian Lang is the person she's been looking for." Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
If Bian Lang and the Empress are old acquaintances, then the crisis in the Prison Land might be resolved as a result.
Bian Lang and the others stood still, watching as the Empress and her entourage crossed the river and went straight to the outside of the Xishen Pavilion.
Shen Sanmu, who was standing beside the Empress, had an extremely solemn expression.
"Bian Lang, I'd like to have a talk with you." The Empress's attitude was very polite.
She thought about it all night and finally decided not to act impulsively. She had to figure this out before deciding what to do next.
In fact, her harsh words about killing all the living beings in the prison were just something she deliberately said.
The reason for bringing so many soldiers on this mission is that we need this many people to eliminate the Tongtian River.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "How can we have a proper talk while you're wearing a veil?"
"How dare you!" Shen Sanmu rebuked angrily.
Even when attending court, the Empress always wore a red veil over her face.
No one in their generation had ever seen the Empress's true face.
The Empress wasn't angry at all, and asked with a smile, "Are you also looking for someone, just like me?"
Bian Lang nodded and smiled, "That's right, I've been looking for her for 80,000 years."
Eighty thousand years?
Not to mention the Empress, everyone else present gasped in shock.
Some people might think that Bian Lang was bragging.
The Empress, however, was willing to believe Bian Lang's words.
Even though there were many people around, she slowly removed the veil from her face.
Shen Sanmu and the others were terrified and knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the ground, not daring to look up.
The veil fell away, revealing a face that could shame the moon and flowers.
That face was flawlessly beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, starry eyes, and cherry lips; even the world's most skilled craftsman could not sculpt such a face.
Liu Yi never cared about her appearance, but at this moment, in front of the Empress, she felt inferior.
Both Dugu Qiusheng and Maoqiu had their mouths open, looking like they were about to drool.
It was only when Liu Yi kicked them that they came to their senses and didn't lose their composure.
Bian Lang had a bright smile on his face.
Liu Yi had never seen such a smile on Bian Lang's face before.
"What are you laughing at?" the Empress asked with a slight reproach.
At that moment, she didn't understand why she had listened to Bian Lang and removed her veil in front of so many people.
With tears in his eyes, Bian Lang chuckled softly, "Hongyu, I've finally found you."
At this moment, all the bitterness of the past tens of thousands of years surged into Bian Lang's heart, making him want to burst into tears.
The empress's delicate body trembled, tears welling in her eyes, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What...what did you call me?"
"Red Rain," Bian Lang called out again.
The empress burst into tears instantly, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions that made her sob uncontrollably.
Shen Sanmu and the others were all lying on the ground, unable to understand why the Empress was crying so hard.
Liu Yi and the others looked quite relaxed; the fact that things had turned out this way was enough to show that the crisis had been completely resolved.
Who would have thought that the dignified Empress would be the wife Bian Lang had been searching for for tens of thousands of years?
Liu Yi was genuinely happy for Bian Lang.
Dugu Qiusheng was also very happy. Since Bian Lang had someone he loved, no one would compete with him for Liu Yi.
Bian Lang smiled and opened his arms.
Without any hesitation, Shangguan Hongyu threw herself into Bian Lang's arms, and the lost memories surged back like a tidal wave.
The return of her memories made it even harder for her to believe how she had survived all these years.
But she felt more sorry for Bian Lang, after all, compared to her, Bian Lang had been searching for her for a full 80,000 years.
Eighty thousand years—what a long period of time!
But Bian Lang never gave up; he kept searching, and kept...
"Husband, I...I'm back." Shangguan Hongyu suddenly raised her head and said with tears in her eyes.
Bian Lang smiled and leaned down to kiss Shangguan Hongyu's lips.
“This…” Dugu Qiusheng’s eyes widened.
Liu Yi's pretty face turned red. She knew she should turn away, but she just couldn't help wanting to look.
Even Shen Sanmu and the others noticed something was wrong. When they looked up, they were shocked to see Bian Lang and the Empress kissing. They were all in disbelief.
"That's enough." After a while, Shangguan Hongyu suddenly pushed Bian Lang away.
Although they had been separated for a long time, she longed to stay in Bian Lang's arms for days and nights without being apart, but the timing was not right.
Bian Lang was also surprised that Shangguan Hongyu's memories would recover so quickly.
Following the typical formula of TV dramas, it would be extremely difficult to awaken Shangguan Hongyu's memories.
