As long as we can restore the country, it doesn't matter who is the emperor.
It just so happens that she hasn't experienced what it's like to be an empress yet.
Shen Youan drank a cup of tea, went into the inner room, took out two boxes, and placed them in front of Chu Yuan.
He gestured to Chu Yuan that she could open it.

Star and Moon Pavilion.
Following Shen Youan's instructions, the waiter carried the unconscious Dugu Ling to the bed and settled her in.
The sleeping potion was made in secret and had amazing effects. It wouldn't keep him unconscious for three days and three nights, but he certainly wouldn't wake up tonight.
But this applies to normal people.
Dugu Ling has a special constitution, especially since another personality resides in his body.
Whenever the weak and naive Dugu Ling faces difficulties and dangers, it is time for Dugu Jue to break through and appear.
So, after only half an hour of unconsciousness, in the quiet room, the man on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
He's really grumpy when he wakes up, "Useless!"
Hiding in a dark corner, Dugu Ling thought, "..." Does he have to be so disrespectful?
Dugu Jue ignored him and stretched his wrists and neck. "Do you think Ji Yun is in danger?"
Dugu Jue had only met Shen Youan a few times and felt that he wouldn't be so stupid as to drug the Crown Prince and then openly kill him. However, remembering that Shen Youan had once said that he liked Ji Yun, Dugu Jue strode off the couch and said, "Alright, stop whining, I'll go and save her for you."
Just as she took a few steps and was about to push open the door, Dugu Ling seemed to have exchanged something with Dugu Jue in her mind, causing the latter to suddenly stop and say with a mocking expression, "If you say another word, I'm not going!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Ling quickly shut up, and the black shadow, looking aggrieved, hid even further into the shadows.
Dugu Jue's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "So, you're saying that when did I start liking that woman too?"
I'm just taking pity on you.
"You finally found a woman who doesn't care about so many things and stayed with you, and you foolishly lost her. No wonder she won't even talk to you again!"
Dugu Ling wanted to say that he was more worried about Ji Yun's safety than about these selfish thoughts.
But he dared not.
Dugu Jue, of course, had no interest in probing Dugu Ling's thoughts. He reached out and opened the door, a slight smirk playing on his lips. His handsome face, which should have been gentle and refined, suddenly gained a hint of wickedness.
"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles," he grinned.
...
It took about half an hour again.
Just as Chu Yuan confirmed through the jade pendant and letter in the box that Shen Youan was indeed her elder brother's bloodline, the sound of fighting rang out outside the thatched hut.
She and Shen Youan exchanged a glance, their expressions changing simultaneously.
Shen Youan stood up. "This is bad. No one knows about this place except for my godfather!"
"Could it have been accidentally leaked?" Chu Yuan expressed her doubts. In fact, even now, she didn't fully trust Shen You'an.
Tokens can be forged, letters can be intercepted, and it would be better for her to observe more closely before making a serious decision about recognizing the young lord of a fallen kingdom.
Then, when Chu Yuan pushed open the door and saw Dugu Ling dressed in white, locked in a fierce battle with several dark figures, she admitted that her mind went blank for half a second!
