"You may all leave. I want to stay with him."
Her face held a hint of sadness, and her eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.
The guards in black robes who were protecting Jiang Anliang looked at each other and bowed, saying, "Madam, we are here on the orders of the eldest young lady to protect the master without moving an inch."
Song was filled with anger: "Do you all have to listen in here when I'm having a private conversation with my husband?"
The guards in black felt awkward, but they dared not disobey Jiang Bai's orders.
The Song family also refused to budge an inch.
Fortunately, after a while, Song realized that her attitude was a bit off and softened her voice.
"You all go to the outer room, I'll leave the door open, is that alright?"
Since she had already said so much, the guards in black robes naturally couldn't insist any further and had no choice but to take their leave.
After everyone left, Madam Song went to the bedside and reached out to hold the hand of the person on the bed.
"Ensuring food security."
Unbeknownst to anyone, when she raised her hand, she also placed a key in Jiang Anliang's hand.
The person on the bed also opened their eyes.
"Jiang Bai was seriously injured for some reason. Take this opportunity to leave. The Imperial Seal is under the Princess's coffin."
She lowered her head, quickly repeated what she had said, then straightened up as if nothing had happened, tucked him in, and turned to leave.
The guards in black uniforms at the door did not notice her movements.
Song went out as if nothing had happened, but she stopped as soon as she reached the door.
Upon seeing the person outside the door, she took a step back in alarm.
Jiang Lu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears, and looked at her in disbelief, asking, "Mother, why?"
Beside her, Jiang Songwen supported Jiang Bai, who was still wearing the same blood-stained clothes. His face was as pale as a ghost, and his eyes were bloodshot with a hint of eeriness.
"Of course it's because they want to be emperors!"
Jiang Bai gave a mocking smile.
Jiang Lu swayed, finding it hard to accept.
The Song family inside had their secret discovered and could no longer remain silent.
Jiang Bai looked behind her and asked, "How long are you going to keep up this act, Father? Or rather... Prince Consort?"
Upon hearing the words "Prince Consort," the person on the bed couldn't help but tremble his fingers, slowly opening his eyes with a bitter look in them.
Then Jiang Bai and the others saw his body making crackling sounds. Jiang Anliang's body was originally somewhat thin, but the person on the bed became taller and his face changed from ordinary to handsome and profound.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. When did you regain your memories?"
She sighed softly from the bed and slowly sat up.
When Jiang Lu saw this scene, she felt as if she were soaking in bitter water. So her father was not her father, and her mother was not her mother. Who were these two people?
Jiang Bai released Jiang Songwen's hand, and almost as soon as she let go, she felt her soul become unstable.
The person on the bed shifted their gaze, as if they wanted to reach out, but quickly lowered their hand as they realized what was happening.
"Thanks to you, you set a taboo for me that I cannot kill people."
"As long as I don't kill anyone and don't harbor resentment, I will never be able to regain my memories."
"If I don't regain my memories, I won't know that after almost eighty years, you still haven't given up and still care about this world."
"Yu Ji".
As she finished speaking, Jiang Bai gave a self-deprecating smile. She never imagined that she would become the Princess Xuyang, whose family was wiped out and whose clan was exterminated.
What underworld, what ancient ghost—it's all just hypnosis inflicted on her by the person in front of her.
Using the art of life-extending, they sealed her in the mausoleum and then transferred her soul into the body of the young girl Jiang Bai. Taking advantage of the sealed memories, they put on a grand show for her.
If someone hadn't deliberately sent her to her death, causing her soul to become unstable after killing, and if she hadn't taken advantage of Mingyu's ability to temporarily suppress her soul and go on a killing spree in order to escape, she would never have remembered her sealed memories.
His purpose in doing all this was simply to seize the destiny of this world.
The reason she was sealed away is because she is the cornerstone of this world; if she dies, this world will collapse.
It was also because at the beginning of this world, she used a stone from the earth's core to make the Imperial Seal of the State.
Used to suppress the flow of fortune.
She sealed the Imperial Seal of the State, and no one in the world knows about it except her.
That's why he gave her the key, letting her follow the path he had designed and search step by step.
"Sigh, Jiang Bai, you're still so stubborn. Wouldn't it be better if you just obediently let me merge with you?"
Yu Ji stood up, and Song Shi stood beside her, like a blade of grass next to a big tree.
The space around Jiang Bai was also constantly changing.
The stars twinkled beneath her feet. With her eyes slightly lowered, she saw through the gaps below that the world was engulfed in war, and a lone rider desperately rushing towards Nan'an County.
"My world may be small, but each of them is a living, breathing person. If their luck runs out, they will all die."
Jiang Bai's expression was cold as he looked at the person in front of him.
To say he is a person is perhaps an understatement; he may not be a person at all.
She had no interest in saying anything more to him, and let her soul leave her body, revealing the true nature of her soul.
The Void Lightning that she had been so worried about did not appear. She wore a long, flowing dress and a crown, and her face was beautiful and alluring.
Yu Ji raised her hand and beckoned downwards, and a human soul flew up and merged into her body.
Jiang Bai could see it clearly; it was Ji Mo's soul.
"Since you're awake again this round, let's play!"
After saying that, the two began to fight.
This battle lasted for three whole months.
The war in the mortal realm had all ended when Jiang Bai finally descended from the Heavenly Palace. Drops of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but instead of feeling unwell, she smiled.
"Jiang Bai, I will come back."
A furious voice echoed from the heavens above.
Jiang Bai smiled smugly, raised his hand and waved it. A light screen enveloped the entire world, leaving Yu Ji helplessly furious outside the screen.
"Big sister."
Jiang Bai turned to look at him. In her eyes, the little figure in front of her was no longer a little figure, but a large seal with a dragon head carved on top and a square shape carved below.
However, the dragon's head and mouth are empty, missing a dragon pearl.
"good."
Jiang Bai rubbed Jiang Songwen's head and squinted his eyes contentedly.
