In fact, after Yun Qing fell into a deep sleep, Li Yan summoned many talented individuals to the palace to detoxify her. However, in the end, Yun Qing still died in his arms.
After Yun Qing's death, Li Yan disregarded the affairs of the court and sought a way to bring him back to life, until Master Yun Fang returned from his travels.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Do not remain stubbornly deluded."
Li Yan pointed his sword at him: "Stop saying things I don't like to hear. If you don't want to save her, then get out."
Yun Fang looked reluctant: "Your Majesty, my feelings are not much different from yours, but fate cannot be defied."
He closed his eyes and told Li Yan his story.
Long ago, before Yunfang became a monk, he had a childhood sweetheart. They were happily married, but his wife couldn't conceive. To protect her from gossip, they moved to Jiangnan. Perhaps the feng shui of Jiangnan was beneficial, for less than a year after arriving, his wife became pregnant. However, just as she was about to give birth, they encountered river bandits. His wife died in childbirth, and the child disappeared without a trace.
Disheartened, Yun Fang renounced worldly life and became a monk. After arriving at the temple and learning Buddhist teachings, Yun Fang realized that he was destined to be a monk. Had he known this, he would have preferred that his wife had never met him.
Later, even when he met his biological daughter, he dared not acknowledge her, fearing that he would bring her misfortune.
At this point, Yun Fang paused and sighed deeply: "But your fate is the same as mine. If I had known she was like her mother, I would have preferred to keep her by my side. It would have been better than this, with such shallow kinship, a lonely life, and a white-haired person burying a black-haired one."
Upon hearing Yun Fang's words, Li Yan was taken aback: "So, it was all my fault that she was harmed."
Seeing his despondent expression, Yun Fang couldn't bear it in the end. He took out a booklet, threw it to him, and turned to leave.
Li Yan took the booklet in a daze. The booklet contained the method of rebirth: by offering the blood of the chosen son and daughter of destiny, those who died young could be reborn and their fate changed.
The last thing Yun Qing saw was Li Yan sitting in a formation, holding her body, with blood flowing continuously from both his and Mo Yanran's bodies.
Yun Qing woke up from her dream and, seeing Li Yan's worried expression, couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.
So this is the truth. No wonder in her previous dreams, only the scene of the Emperor's death and his petition to the Mo family was clear; everything else was blurry, as if someone had implanted words into her mind. This makes sense; Mo Yanran had someone alter her memories of her past life.
Stroking Li Yanqing's dark eye sockets, Yun Qing finally belatedly felt a pang of heartache.
"When did you regain your memories?" she asked curiously.
“After you had that nightmare that day, I noticed you had changed a lot. I was worried you were being haunted by the nightmare, so I consulted Master Yunfang and planned to perform a ritual to dispel the bad luck. When Master Yunfang was calculating our destinies, he told me that this was our second life together. After I went back, I also had a dream about our past life. In the dream, I watched you leave me. If you hadn't been so depressed lately, I would have preferred that you never knew about our past life.”
Having cleared up the misunderstandings from their past lives with Li Yan and learned that she still had relatives alive, Yun Qing shook off her previous depression and started acting up again.
"My legs are numb from sleeping, carry me down the mountain." She opened her arms confidently.
Looking at her clever and mischievous appearance, Li Yan smiled indulgently, picked her up by the waist, and strode down the mountain. Compared to her quiet demeanor lately, he still preferred Yun Qing's capricious and unpredictable side.
Yun Fang watched the two figures disappear into the distance, stroking his beard with satisfaction: "Yu Niang, my fate in this life has been changed. If you have a spirit in heaven, you can rest in peace now."
Seven days later, the late emperor's funeral concluded. Li Yan dismissed the women from his harem and only brought Yun Qing into the palace. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Yun Qing, dressed in her magnificent empress's robes, joined Li Yan in offering sacrifices to Heaven, proclaiming to the people, and receiving the homage of civil and military officials.
At the same time, Mo Yanran, along with the remnants of the General's Mansion, was taken to Caishikou for execution in a prison cart.
People carrying vegetable baskets threw rotten vegetable leaves all over her head.
"The one in front is the former Crown Princess. It is said that she conspired with people from the General's Mansion to murder the Emperor and the Empress."
Really?
"Of course, otherwise why would she be among the criminals? Only the crime of plotting against the emperor and empress would result in the extermination of nine generations of her family."
"Serves them right. Although His Majesty is tyrannical, he cares about the people's livelihood. Before ascending the throne, he visited the frontier many times to comfort the soldiers. This is how the Mo family repays the Emperor's kindness."
"Yeah, smash her!"
As Mo Yanran listened to people's condemnation, she was filled with remorse. If she had woken up sooner and hadn't forced a relationship that wasn't meant for her, or if she had been a dutiful Crown Princess and hadn't harbored any malicious intentions, wouldn't she have saved her whole family from this predicament? Unfortunately, no one could answer her question.

Back in the system space, Yun Qing's face was full of anger: "System, get out here!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a small, round, glowing white ball of fluff jumped out of the air, huddled to the side, and dared not make a sound.
Looking at its cowardly appearance, Yun Qing was furious: "You're scared now? Why weren't you scared when you erased my memories of my first life?"
"Qingqing, don't be angry." The system looked at her cautiously: "I didn't mean to. It's all the fault of the main system. It clearly said that those worlds had been corrected, but the Heavenly Dao consciousness of the previous world still had a breath left. Otherwise, how could Mo Yanran have harmed you? Although Li Yan sacrificed Mo Yanran and himself, who knows if the Heavenly Dao is completely dead? So I can only temporarily unbind you and erase your previous memories."
"Fine, I won't hold it against you this time. But next time something similar happens, you must discuss it with me and not make decisions on your own."
"Okay, host, I understand. This was an accident. I will definitely discuss it with you next time."
"In that case, let's teleport to the next world."
When Yun Qing opened her eyes again, she found herself in what looked like a guesthouse. The next second, memories flooded her mind; in this world, Yun Qing was also a brainless female supporting character.
She grew up by the sea. While fishing with her family, she found the male lead, who had fallen into the water and suffered from amnesia. The male lead was a famous actor in China, practically a household name. His family wanted to send him back, but Yun Qing, after discovering his amnesia, had other ideas and pretended to be his girlfriend.
Later, the female lead, who secretly loved the male lead, went to the fishing village to film a movie and accidentally discovered him. Behind the back of the supporting female character, she secretly contacted the male lead, and he gradually fell in love with her. The supporting female character's schemes were all for naught, and in the end, she got nothing.
(There's a slight age gap in this world: the female lead is 23 and has just graduated from university, while the male lead is 30 and is a household name actor with high national recognition, but not many die-hard fans, so there aren't any paparazzi or stalkers constantly watching him.)
