IF Line 13 and the Childbirth System are unbound!
"After the golden dragon and the black dragon went through the heavenly tribulation, the dragon egg hatched on its own and grew up in the underwater dragon palace. At the corner of the dragon palace, a red lotus grew alongside it, absorbing the black dragon's energy to cultivate into a demon."
Ji Qingwu looked down at the lotus beaded bracelet on his wrist and frowned deeply.
Master Liaoran continued, "The Red Lotus was originally a sacred object in Buddhism. Once it turned into a demon, it became an extremely evil thing. Buddha cast a curse to destroy the Red Lotus in the world. The Black Dragon exhausted its divine power to stop it, but it still could not stop the Heavenly Curse."
He sighed and said, "In the end, Mo Long died in battle, and Hong Lian also perished in the flames of karma."
Ji Qingwu also became saddened.
The bracelet on her wrist even seemed to get hot, as if to verify the master's theory of karmic fire.
Ji Qingwu's throat tightened as he said, "Is the master's dream a sign that he and I...?"
Master Liaoran nodded and said, "This dream is not over yet."
"There's more to it?" she asked eagerly. "What happened next?"
Master Liaoran said, "When the Golden Dragon and the Black Dragon couple returned from their tribulations, they found their only son dead. Enraged, they stormed up to the Ninth Heaven to demand an explanation. Because this couple was so difficult to deal with and had such formidable fighting power, Buddha gave the Black Dragon and the Red Lotus another chance to be reincarnated."
Ji Qingwu frowned, realizing that she and Zhao Mingyan had entanglements in more than one lifetime.
Master Liaoran sighed, “In chaotic times, how to become a ruler who establishes himself and how to become a savior of the world is the Buddha’s test for Molong.”
"Whether she possesses compassion and love for the world is the Buddha's test for the demonized Red Lotus."
Ji Qingwu remained silent for a long time.
Master Liaoran knew that it would not be easy for her to accept this, but even more troublesome things were yet to come.
He said with a strange expression, "Miss Ji, this dream is not over yet."
Ji Qingwu looked at him with a bewildered expression.
"Anything else?"
Seeing that she was still relatively calm, Master Liaoran continued, "The Mo Jiao obtained a new toy from Laozi, which can remotely control the human world. It should be the childbirth system that Miss Ji mentioned earlier."
"But the old couple didn't know how to handle these trendy things. They accidentally messed things up when you were young, which led to you ending up in another world."
The birthing system was actually controlled by them?
This was beyond Ji Qingwu's imagination, but upon closer examination, it seemed reasonable.
so!
Ji Qingwu slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
The delicate woman's smile vanished, replaced by a stern expression.
Master Liaoran quickly reassured her, "It's normal that you can't accept it right now, after all, Miss Ji sacrificed so much..."
Ji Qingwu slammed his fist on the table again, causing the heavy solid wood table to shake, startling even Master Liaoran.
"No wonder he has no heir!"
Ji Qingwu excitedly shared his new discovery.
"Children born from a golden dragon and a black dragon, two different species, are infertile. Master, don't you agree?"
Master Liaoran was stunned for a moment before saying, "Miss Ji is indeed extraordinary."
Ji Qingwu's eyes darted around. Just then, the door to the tea room was pushed open, and Zhao Mingyan, who was in the next room, rushed over to check after hearing the noise.
He stood at the door and carefully examined her from head to toe.
"Ah Wu, are you alright?"
Ji Qingwu forced a smile that didn't reveal his teeth and said, "I'm great."
Zhao Mingyan's expression changed; her reaction seemed rather unpleasant.
Then, Ji Qingwu walked straight past him, waved, and said, "I'm going home first!"
The Ji family is her home.
She was not the soul residing in this body; the Qiao family, who truly loved her, had a deep bond with her as children in this life.
Zhao Mingyan called out in a low voice from behind her, "Awu."
Ji Qingwu stopped in the corridor and looked back at him.
Zhao Mingyan rarely showed such insecurity. He asked in a strained voice, "What are you planning to do?"
Ji Qingwu said, "I plan to go home and find my mother."
His Adam's apple bobbed: "And then?"
Ji Qingwu said, "And then..."
She lowered her head, considering it carefully.
"I want to unbind myself from the childbirth system!"
Since there are people behind this system—no, there's a dragon controlling it—she won't be punished even if the mission isn't completed.
This was something she had always dreamed of.
After Ji Qingwu finished speaking, she turned around without looking back, her flying hair conveying a sense of ease.
Zhao Mingyan's eyes darkened.
Master Liaoran walked out of the tea room and said calmly, "Don't force it."
Zhao Mingyan's eyes turned fierce as he said, "That person is in a house in the suburbs. Find a time to take her away. Make sure to keep a close eye on her. If she makes any unusual moves or gets separated from you, I will send someone to kill her."
Master Liaoran immediately lost his composure and exclaimed excitedly, "Didn't we already agree that after sparing her life, we would let her live in seclusion in the palace?"
Zhao Mingyan gave him a cold look: "The palace doesn't tolerate idlers."
Master Liaoran said with a complicated expression, "How much more food can she eat from you? I can't take her away, you know that."
Zhao Mingyan said, "Even if it's just to stay somewhere else, it won't work. Awu doesn't like having other people around, and besides, she was once engaged to me. I don't want Awu to have any doubts."
Master Liaoran stared in disbelief as he walked away.
After leaving the teahouse, Zhao Mingyan went to the Ji family's residence, but was stopped by Madam Qiao.
Qiao politely said it was against etiquette and handed the string of red jade beads back to him. After Zhao Mingyan took them, he almost crushed the beads.
He remained calm and composed, and said in a low voice, "Madam Ji, what else did A-Wu say?"
This shrewd and composed young master of the Marquis's mansion, who would become the new emperor in two days, showed a look of melancholy on his face. Seeing this, Madam Qiao felt relieved.
It seems he is deeply in love with Xiao Wu, which makes her feel more at ease.
Remembering what Xiao Wu had mentioned to her after returning home, Qiao cleared her throat and said, "My daughter wants me to ask her."
"When will you come to our residence to fetch the bride the day after tomorrow?"
Zhao Mingyan suddenly looked up, his breath unsteady, and asked, "Does Awu really say that?"
Mrs. Qiao smiled and nodded affectionately.
When Zhao Mingyan left the Ji residence, his palms were still sweaty.
Two days later.
The new emperor ascended the throne, establishing the state of Beili. Amidst the attention of the masses, he appointed Lady Ji as his empress.
However, Ji Fangmin was not granted the title of Empress Dowager. Instead, the emperor's deceased birth mother, Cui, was posthumously honored as Empress Dowager, while Ji Fangmin was only granted the title of Consort Dowager, a position with little real power, and was allowed to reside with Prince Yong, Zhao Minghong.
From the very first day Ji Qingwu took over the central palace in Phoenix Palace, no one could stand in her way.
On their wedding night, the empress, relying on the emperor's favor, became arrogant and drove him out of the palace.
With the emperor's harem unable to accommodate more women, and the need to balance the power of various factions, Zhao Mingyan inevitably had to work harder in the court.
Busy during the day and unable to be close to the empress at night, the emperor, suffering from loneliness and sleeplessness, lost a considerable amount of weight.
It wasn't until a month later that the emperor was granted permission to enter the Empress's Chenning Palace.
Ji Qingwu's purpose was to completely break the influence of the childbirth system on her, so that there would be no more tasks or coercion between them.
It was born of love and conceived out of affection.
Zhao Mingyan dared not use contraceptive pills again. Both of them were in good health, and Ji Qingwu was diagnosed with pregnancy in the third month after their wedding.
In the second year of the new emperor's reign, a pair of adorable twins, a boy and a girl, were born.
The two children also share very similar personalities: they are assertive and domineering in public, just like their father; but at home, they are playful and love to act cute and silly.
Whenever the two little ones cause trouble or make mistakes, Ji Qingwu can't bear to punish them, so she can only leave them to Zhao Mingyan to discipline.
But if the emperor is too strict, the empress will be unhappy, and the Phoenix Palace will be just like any ordinary household, with its noisy chaos.
But more often than not, it was laughter that came from the bottom of their hearts, without any barriers...
