"Mother, wait for me to come back. Mother, you must take good care of yourself. I have already arranged for my father, elder brother, and younger sister. You can rest assured that I will come back safely."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up and disappeared into the sky above Ningsheng Palace along with a dozen black-clad secret guards who came with him.

Ning Shuyuan looked at the sky which had suddenly turned pale, and cried hysterically, unable to stop...

Ruyan does not know martial arts and cannot move freely like Liuying. She looks at Ning Shuyuan and thinks of how Wei Li had just taken care of their young lady, and a bold guess comes to her mind.

Could it be that Prince Li... is an old friend of my young lady?

Apart from that man, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could hug her own lady like this, regardless of his own life.

Even she, who wanted to stay by her own lady's side, was stopped by the guards at the door and the people in the house, and was unable to do so.

But that person can stay by her side by using his own tough means.

In contrast, Ruyan seemed...

"Silly boy, why are you standing here again? Sit down and have a rest."

The Queen Mother glanced at Ruyan who was still looking out the window, and said to her softly, "I know you are thinking about her. With Li'er here, she will be fine. She will definitely be fine. Believe in me, and believe in Li'er."

Ruyan's eyes reddened. She didn't expect that the person who knew her best at this moment was Empress Dowager Wen.

"Empress Dowager, I was not able to die with her twelve years ago. Twelve years later, I watched her suffer and was powerless to do anything. I even hid here and watched her suffer. I am afraid. I am afraid that this time, it will be a permanent separation again."

Having said this, she knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a plop. "Queen Mother, please, let me go. I want to watch her. I will not live alone even if she dies. I have lived in this world just to avenge her. Now she is on the verge of life and death. I can't stand here and do nothing. I can't!"

Ruyan, who seldom cried so wildly in front of others, seemed to have cried all her tears over the past twelve years.

Most of the women in the room have a say in the harem, and many of them have even received favors from the late queen. At first they didn’t understand what they were talking about, but gradually, they were surprised to realize that Shangguan Qingxi was actually the late queen?

This also explains why Du Yunge’s handwritten letter appeared.

Now seeing Ruyan being so loyal to the Lord, everyone shed tears of emotion.

"Empress Dowager, I know you are reluctant to let Ruyan go, but Ruyan is obsessed with Yunge. We can't let her have any regrets. Let her go!"

Concubine Xi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and walked to Ruyan to help her up: "Silly Yan'er, if Yun Ge knew, she would definitely not want you to do this, why bother..."

Ruyan smiled sadly, "As long as the young lady is alive, everything will be fine. If the young lady is gone, there will be no meaning for me to exist. I, Ruyan, have lived for twelve years with only one goal, and now... it is the same."

They didn't know what was going on with Wei Yuchen, and there had been no news from the previous dynasty, but they probably weren't that optimistic.

When the Imperial Garden was under siege, the direction Wei Yuchen left was also attacked. Now the entire palace was full of zombies, and she knew the young lady's temperament. She would never leave without accomplishing anything. Before this, she must have done something.

Therefore, Wei Yuchen is probably in great danger now.

Haha, I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Originally, they had a basket of plans to implement, but now, they are in such a passive situation.

It is true that man proposes, God disposes. Fortunately, no matter how you calculate it, the person who deserves to die will never be allowed to live!

Just like Wei Yuchen’s descendants, now except for the second prince, I’m afraid all of them have gone to hell with Wei Yuchen, right?

"Ruyan!" Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the window, immediately bringing Ruyan back to reality.

"Liu Ying, you're back?"

Ruyan's surprised voice immediately made everyone present, except Concubine Xi, dumbfounded.

Liuying was still dressed like Mu Han, so when she stood outside the window and looked inside, everyone's expression was the same: stunned.

Oh my God, who can tell them why Mu Han, the first female official of Yongning Palace, became Liu Ying, the most capable female general beside the late queen?

However, no one explained this to them, and even Mu Han had no intention of delving into the subject with them.

They have only one goal, "Where's the lady?"

"He was taken away by Prince Li. Come on, take me there. I will stay by my master's side even if I die."

Mu Han immediately said to the guard at the door: "Did you hear that? We are going out and will not cause trouble for everyone. Open the door quickly."

The guards hesitated for a moment. They were ordered to protect these women, but they had not received any orders to let them go!

At this moment, Concubine Xi's voice sounded from inside slowly: "Listen to them and let them go."

Mu Han's clear and sharp voice was full of gratitude to Concubine Xi: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please take care of yourself. The Second Prince has been properly arranged by Miss. You will naturally meet him after this crisis is resolved."

Concubine Xi has always been thinking about her son. When she heard Mu Han say this, her eyes were red. "Liu Ying, Ru Yan, you two, take care of yourselves. Ge Er, I..."

"Your Highness, you still have to take care of the Queen Mother and the Second Prince. There is no need to say anything. We all understand."

At this point, she looked inside deeply and said, "Everyone, please take care of yourselves."

Seeing Liuying and Ruyan leaving resolutely, Concubine Xi couldn't help crying, "Ge'er, please, please be fine, you must be fine!"

At that time, in the cold palace, Shangguan Qingxi was already on the verge of danger. When she was sent over, her body had already begun to twitch, and the corpse spots on her face began to decay on a large scale. Wei Li was shocked to see this, and his heart was in his throat.

Wei Jie didn't expect to see her again in such a situation. Seeing her skin twisted and turning into a corpse, his heart sank to the bottom. His throat became dry and astringent, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Master, how is she?" Wei Jie's voice was a little choked. Although he tried his best to hide it, Master Zihe was so perceptive that he naturally felt it.

Although she didn't know what the relationship between this girl and her apprentice was, she saw that he was just as nervous about her as the girl inside. She sighed regretfully and said, "It's too late to save the situation."

It has already begun to transform into a corpse. Even a great god might not be able to save it.

"What?" Wei Li and Wei Jie were both shocked. In contrast, Wei Jie was more restrained, but Wei Li had already excitedly run over and grabbed Master Zihe's hand, "Didn't you let her come over? Isn't there a way? How did you come to a conclusion so quickly? Elder, please, please take another look at her, okay?"

Zi He said to Wei Li, "Tie her up like you did with those two men."

Wei Li followed his gaze and saw that two zombies had appeared in the yard. One was in the process of fissioning, and the other had successfully fissioned. Both zombies had their mouths wide open and were making "ah ah" sounds towards them.

When Wei Li saw the two monsters, his body suddenly froze, "Tie them up?"

"If you want to save her, you must ensure your own safety, right?"

Wei Li looked down painfully at Qingxi who was about to wake up. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up Qingxi, put her in front of the pillar, and tied her up himself.

Then, he gently touched her cheek with his fingertips, and said to her in a voice that couldn't be any softer: "If you die, I won't live alone, Ge'er, I will always be with you, always."

Wei Jie watched and listened silently from the side, a rare touch of emotion overflowing from his brows because of someone's words.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he still loves her so much.

Even though he died so miserably because of her.

He had no regrets and was willing to do it.

How lucky are I to meet you in this life?

In contrast, Wei Yuchen, her husband in her previous life, was so shameless and ruthless.

"Okay, just leave it there. Everyone sit down and wait and see, okay?"

At this time, Master Zihe's voice suddenly rang out, and Wei Li turned his head abruptly: "Old man, what do you think, should we just leave it like this?"

"Well, sit down. Anyway, we have to try our best now!"

Wei Li saw that everyone was not surprised and even had a hint of expectation in their expressions. He couldn't help but look at Wei Jie anxiously.
