"Your Majesty, how cruel you are! She is your own daughter too!"
Consort Chen roared in anguish.
"If I hadn't been protecting her all these years, she would have died eight hundred times over!"
The emperor said indifferently, "Her death is not a pity. If you cooperate honestly, I can spare her a whole corpse. Otherwise, you will watch her turn into minced meat right before your eyes!"
"Ah! Zhao Gan, how could you be so heartless? You're not human, you're not human!" Consort Chen was nearly driven to collapse by the Emperor's merciless words.
In the end, she obediently cooperated and led everyone to search for the Empress's remains.
Upon arriving at the destination, Yun Zhourong was immediately stunned, "Here..."
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that something was wrong with her, Ji Minxiu asked in a low voice.
"When I came to bury my maternal grandfather, I saw a skeleton exposed on the ground. I don't know why, but I buried it without thinking."
Yun Zhourong pointed at the mound, her voice trembling slightly, "Could it be...could this be Mother?"
She remembers that it was raining all day and it was very, very cold.
She was so small and should have been weak, yet she buried two skeletons all by herself, showing no fear whatsoever in the pitch-black wilderness.
Looking back now, she doesn't know where she got the courage that day; she just felt inexplicably at peace.
Thinking back carefully, after falling into the trap, she vaguely felt a faint warmth emanating from the safety buckle, and then she waited for Ji Minxiu.
Perhaps, it really was her mother protecting her from the unseen world.
"Then let's verify the kinship through bone-dropping. If these are indeed your mother's remains, we will certainly take her back to the imperial mausoleum and bury her with me a hundred years from now," the emperor quickly said.
"Bone marrow testing for kinship is inaccurate. I'll take it back and see if I can do a DNA test."
Ji Minxiu put his arm around Yun Zhourong's shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, I think she is definitely your mother."
"Okay, thank you." Yun Zhourong nodded, her voice choked with emotion.
"What are you talking about?" The emperor was completely bewildered.
"Father, I will tell you about these things when we get back."
The eldest prince said, "Don't worry, no one wants to find our mother more than my second sister."
"All right."
Knowing that finding the person was the priority, the emperor could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
Before long, the grave mound was dug up, and perhaps because the soil was so good, the remains were surprisingly well preserved.
After collecting all the remains, Ji Minxiu took them back to the modern world.
With the support of the state, even when Ji Minxiu appeared with the remains, it did not arouse suspicion. On the contrary, the state actively helped him solve the problem.
However, because the bone procedure takes a long time and is quite difficult, it took a total of seven days.
Fortunately, the outcome was good.
These remains are indeed those of the late empress.
Meanwhile, the emperor had already learned about Ji Minxiu's identity.
Although it was somewhat unbelievable, he completely believed it after Ji Minxiu disappeared into thin air in front of him.
As for whether the emperor might become greedy, there's no need to worry about that, because the safety buckle's time travel is one-way.
Only Ji Minxiu can travel to the Dasheng Dynasty; the people here cannot travel to the future, and they also need Yun Zhourong's cooperation.
If the emperor wanted to seize it, he would have to kill both Ji Minxiu and Yun Zhourong at the same time.
However, it was clear that the emperor was a reliable father, so there was no crisis.
However, the emperor could not accept the abolition of the imperial system at all.
So when Ji Minxiu reappeared in the palace, he overheard this conversation.
"Ruanruan, when will you finally call me Father?" The Emperor looked at Yun Zhourong with a mixture of grievance and expectation.
Yun Zhourong remained unmoved and said, "If you don't agree to change the political system, I will not change my mind, nor will I acknowledge you as my father."
"Ruanruan, if I were not the emperor, you would not be a princess. I want to give you the highest honor."
The emperor said earnestly, "Besides, even if you want to develop that technology, as long as I fully support you, it can still be done. Don't you trust your brother's character?"
"So, Father, you didn't read those books I asked you to read before, did you?" Yun Zhourong said somewhat angrily.
The drawbacks of the feudal imperial system have long been proven by later generations. It is by no means a long-term solution and is very unsuitable for the development of science and technology. It must be changed!
"These are all nonsense, not worth my attention."
The emperor turned his head away guiltily and softened his tone, saying, "Ruanruan, I have to read so many memorials every day and spend time with my little grandson. I really don't have the energy to deal with anything else."
"I see. That's simple. I'll take the two children away, and then Father will have time to read more." Yun Zhourong said calmly.
emperor:"……"
"Cough cough..."
Ji Minxiu looked at Yun Zhourong's indulgent smile, stopped watching the show, and stepped forward to say, "The test results are in."
"really?"
Yun Zhourong immediately stood up, looking at Ji Minxiu with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, "That...that is..."
Ji Minxiu nodded, "Yes."
Yun Zhourong burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably as she looked at the test results. "Minxiu, it must have been my mother's blessing that allowed me to meet you back then. Really, I truly felt her protecting me at that time."
Ji Minxiu hugged her tightly, comforting her softly, "I believe you. Your mother saved me too. I am the son-in-law she personally chose, and I will definitely take good care of you in her place."
