The iron cavalry galloped, and the imperial guards, clad in golden armor, rushed towards the capital of Shangyue like a golden torrent. Also traveling with them were Mu Hanyan and her group, who were still in a state of confusion, and the unconscious Wu Ziyue.
Behind them, thunderous cheers erupted, and countless civilians fell to their knees, chanting "Long live the emperor!" The city's citizens believed Yue Fanchen's words without a doubt. While they didn't know why Mu Hanyan, despite being the eldest princess, became Anyun's envoy, it was a fact that the eldest princess had bravely stepped forward to save them. They had already been deeply moved by Mu Hanyan's loyalty and selfless sacrifice, and now, knowing her true identity, they were even more moved and proud. This was their eldest princess of Shangyue, such strength, such righteousness!
Yue Fanchen listened to the cheers behind him and glanced at Mu Hanyan in surprise. He would find out what exactly happened later. However, Mu Hanyan's immediate support was unexpected and somewhat proud. After all, they were family.
"What is going on?" On the way, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but ask Yue Fanchen again.
"You'll know once you enter the palace." Yue Fanchen said with a smile.
Seeing that he was pretending to be mysterious, Mu Hanyan didn't bother to ask any more questions.
"By the way, Doctor Sun, why did you come to Shangyue?" Mu Hanyan asked Doctor Sun.
"Ever since I came back from Fangjia Village last time, I have been looking for a way to detoxify the Thousand Poisons Erosion Sutra Powder. Later, I found some clues from a fragment of an ancient book. It is said that there is an alchemy family in the capital of Shangyue who may have a way to detoxify it. This time I came to Shangyue specifically to find a teacher to ask for advice." Doctor Sun replied.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that Doctor Sun came to Shangyue for the sake of his appearance. Given his current status and identity, he was able to humble himself and seek a teacher. This courage made Mu Hanyan admire him even more.
"Thank you, Doctor Sun." Mu Hanyan said gratefully.
"Miss Mu, you are too formal. I am extremely grateful that you have put aside your prejudice and taught me all the variations of the tendon-splitting and pulse-cutting technique. Being able to help you is also a wish fulfilled. Besides, there is no end to learning medicine and alchemy. Even if it were not for you, I would have made this journey." Doctor Sun said with a smile.
After hearing what Doctor Sun said, Mu Hanyan felt even more respect for him.
Dingbian City is only more than 3,000 miles away from the capital. Along the way, I discussed medicine and alchemy with Doctor Sun, and before I knew it, I arrived in the capital.
Compared with Anyun Capital, Shangyue Capital is less prosperous but more solemn. A martial arts arena can be seen every few streets in the city. From a distance, you can hear the sound of swords ringing when practitioners on the arena fight each other.
The Shangyue Kingdom's martial spirit is indeed well-deserved.
The imperial guards in golden armor surrounded the carriage and soon entered the inner city. Hua Yue and others were taken to the inn to rest, while Mu Hanyan entered the palace under the leadership of Yue Fanchen.
"Let's go. The Queen Mother must be waiting impatiently." When they arrived in front of a graceful and luxurious palace, Yue Fanchen strode in.
"Empress Dowager?" Mu Hanyan was a little confused. She originally thought that Yue Fanchen would bring her to see the emperor, but she thought it was to see the Empress Dowager.
Anyway, there will be an answer soon, so Mu Hanyan was too lazy to ask more questions and just followed behind him obediently.
Soon, Mu Hanyan saw a woman in palace dress pacing back and forth, seeming extremely anxious.
Hearing the footsteps, the woman in palace dress turned around suddenly.
"Mom!" Mu Hanyan blurted out.
The woman in front of him was wearing a phoenix robe and had a beautiful face. At first glance, she looked exactly like her mother.
It has been a year since Mu Hanyan left Black Stone City. She often missed her mother. When she suddenly saw this woman who looked exactly like her mother, she was stunned.
"Am I that young? Hahaha." The woman was stunned at first, and then laughed happily.
Mu Hanyan finally came back to her senses. Although this woman looked exactly like her mother at a glance, there were actually some differences when she looked closely. There was a bit more cheerfulness and heroism in her eyes and eyebrows, and she should be older. However, because she had been in the palace for a long time and lived a life of luxury, she looked very young.
"Come here, come here, let me see my precious granddaughter. She has grown up so big. She is much prettier than your mother was when she was a child." The woman in palace dress stepped forward and took Mu Hanyan's hand. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Granddaughter? She was her grandmother? Mu Hanyan's mind was in a mess.
Although Mu Hanyan felt it was a coincidence when she first heard Yue Fanchen's name, as her mother's name was Yue Fanling, she never thought that her mother would have any relationship with the Shangyue royal family. She just thought it was all a coincidence. After all, there were more than just the Shangyue royal family in the world with the surname Yue.
It was not until now that she realized that all this was not a coincidence.
If the time and place were different, Mu Hanyan might still have some doubts, but after seeing her appearance, there was absolutely no doubt at all. Apart from blood relatives, there was absolutely no way in the world that there could be someone who looked so similar.
If she changed into the same outfit, people would believe she and her mother were twin sisters, not to mention mother and daughter.
"My name is Lu Nianxin. I am the Empress Dowager Shangyue and your grandmother. Your mother, Yue Fanling, is my biological daughter." Seeing Mu Hanyan in a daze, the beautiful woman in palace dress explained.
"Oh." Mu Hanyan replied somewhat woodenly. She understood, but all of this was far beyond her expectations. For a moment, she didn't know how to face her grandmother and felt a little overwhelmed.
"By the way, I heard that you are very strong. Even Yue Fanchen, that self-righteous guy, is no match for you. He was bullied by you and had no power to fight back. Come and tell grandma how you bullied him?" Lu Nianxin could imagine her mood at the moment, but didn't care much. She took Mu Hanyan's hand again and asked curiously. She looked so excited that she didn't look like a queen mother, but more like an older sister next door.
Mu Hanyan did not feel much of the majesty of being the mother of a country from her, but more of the blood-thicker-than-water kinship, and her mood suddenly relaxed.
Mu Hanyan could see that her grandmother's personality was completely different from her mother's. While her mother was gentle and virtuous, her grandmother was cheerful and generous, and perhaps a bit nervous. Although Yue Fanchen had lost to her, it was only a narrow defeat, so it couldn't be considered bullying. She also said that Yue Fanchen was arrogant and didn't know how to save face for others.
Sure enough, Yue Fanchen next to him blushed with embarrassment.
"One move, just one move lost, if not..." Yue Fanchen explained.
"What do you mean you only lost one move? Losing is losing, winning is winning. Don't men of the Yue family even have this little bit of responsibility?" Lu Nianxin glared at him and scolded.
