Even if he hadn't drunk that cup of wine, even if he had reminded the Second Prince in various ways, the Second Prince would still have died, and Mord would still have been thrown into prison and eventually died suddenly.
Later he realized that some things were destined from the beginning.
The struggle between the nobility and the royal family meant that he and Mode could not be together. Even if the second prince did not die, the emperor would find other reasons to punish the Mekalou family.
Because the Mekalou family was too powerful and the leader of the nobility, the emperor would never allow someone who challenged his authority to exist. Therefore, he was willing to risk offending all the nobles in order to eliminate them as soon as possible.
The nobility were a community of shared interests; no one wanted to be second best, and everyone wanted to replace the Meccalous family's position. The eldest prince understood this, which is why he resolved the conflict by cutting off his arm to save his life.
"So... have you given up?"
Zhou Siyu asked cautiously, "Has Lin Ling really given up? If he has, what was his purpose in coming here?"
"It is foolish to dwell on the past. Rather than trying to change it, we should explore the future." Lan Que flicked a petal with her finger. "What I have lost here does not mean I will lose it forever."
"Difficult to understand."
Zhou Siyu shook her head, waiting for Lin Ling's explanation.
“You should understand now that Lin Ling and I are the same person.” Lan Que thought for a moment and corrected, “To be precise, we are the same soul.”
"After Mord died, I searched through all the ancient books and finally found a secret technique that could allow people to travel back in time. However, this technique was mastered by a mysterious tribe on the twenty-seventh planet."
He successfully found the tribe, only to discover that they had been imprisoned by Emperor Etolan, who forced them to travel through different time periods in search of the elixir of immortality.
He entered the past in exchange for helping them escape their prison, but he could do nothing but watch helplessly as things unfolded.
After several attempts, he gave up, but the clan chief then told him that they could extract his soul from his body, allowing him to travel through any time and space to find people in another time and space, on the condition that he safely take away five newborn children and ensure their safe growth.
He agreed and took away five children and one person who could perform the ceremony independently.
"I traveled through different time and space, and after an unknown amount of time, I found that my soul was getting weaker and weaker. So I returned to my original time and space and found that it was a hundred years later. The immortality experiment in the Etolan Laboratory was coming to an end."
"I entered a child's body, but I never expected to meet him."
He was very weak when he first entered the body and slept in the white house every day until that day, when the Alliance's artillery fire blasted open the laboratory door and the boy's voice pierced the darkness.
"Hey, there's still someone here."
He opened his eyes and saw a young face that haunted his dreams, and a hand.
"Don't be afraid, you're free now. Give me your hand, and I'll take you away."
Yes, he was free. He laughed, but then he cried.
"Hey, don't cry!"
"Haha, Yu Zhen, you're too fierce. You scared the child to tears."
He saw another boy casually spread his arms and grin, saying, "Good boy, come here to Brother Zhou Yu, I'll give you candy."
"Get away from me, who wants your candy?" Yu Zhen rolled her eyes and covered his eyes with her hand. "Don't cry, your brother is a good person and won't hurt you."
After saying that, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't talk to that strange older brother, he's a bad person."
"Yu Zhen, how dare you speak ill of me and spread rumors about me to my face! Take this!"
The two bickered and argued, but Lan Que didn't find it annoying.
He thought that Heaven still had mercy on him.
"Uncle Lin, will you continue to search for Uncle Yu in other timelines?"
“I’ve said it before, dwelling on the past is foolish.” Lan Que smiled. “I should thank you for providing me with inspiration, and I should also thank Yu Wei for providing his cells.”
Zhou Siyu was confused. Did he say something?
"You'll find out later." Lan Que clapped his hands and asked, "Are you planning to go back now or stay a little longer?"
How much time has passed outside?
"Six months."
"Isn't it said that the time flow in the past is faster than in the present timeline?"
"That makes sense, but too many people have come and tried to change the ending countless times, causing this spacetime to become disordered. Everything has been mixed together and it will soon collapse."
"Then I'd better go back."
Zhou Siyu pursed his lips; he didn't want to get crushed to pieces just to watch the spectacle.
His arrival in this time and space was entirely accidental.
"The synthesis of the gene-cleansing agent went smoothly." Lan Que stood up. "Your body is recovering very well."
"Can I go see Yu Wei?"
"Go if you want to."
Lan Que rolled her eyes. She thought Yu Wei would be the one being played, but it turned out that Zhou Siyu was the one with a love-struck mind, with nothing but Yu Wei on her mind, and was completely controlled.
Fate is a strange thing. It's not surprising that Zhou Siyu used to ignore Yu Wei, but now things have turned out this way.
After all, Yu Wei was the only person who had ever treated Zhou Siyu well without considering personal gain or loss.
People living in darkness will be drawn to the light once they see it, and will stop at nothing to keep it. In this respect, he and Zhou Siyu are the same kind of people.
