Shen Yuanbai's voice was very low, blending with the crackling sound of burning firewood.

Jiaojiao was close by and could hear clearly what Shen Yuanbai said:

"The Taoist mother Yinzhu was not happy after she went to Yong Dynasty. Although she got rid of those beasts, she still had hatred in her heart. Moreover, she was targeted by everyone in Yong Palace. She had too many plans in her mind and was almost exhausted."

"That time, Zhou Bo and his men took it upon themselves to bring Di Zaiying into the palace. It was also at that time that my mother learned that Di Zaiying had suffered countless hardships in order to follow her to the Yong Dynasty."

"He was 'inexplicably' imprisoned by the king and suffered a lot of torture. His family was also punished because of this. Thanks to the loyal servants and his men who managed to make a move and 'steal the sky and change the day', he was able to escape."

"My mother was heartbroken when she heard about this, but she couldn't tell Di Zaiying the truth. She didn't want Di Zaiying to know about her miserable experience. She was also worried that Di Zaiying would impulsively return to the North to avenge her, but that would be futile."

"Mother had a big plan in mind, but she still crossed the line that day and acted with Di Zaiying..."

When Shen Yuanbai reached this point, he suddenly remembered that Qiao Jiaojiao was still a child after all, so he stopped talking and passed it over.

"Yinzhu said that she understood Mother the best. The meeting with Di Zaiying that day rekindled Mother's fighting spirit after she was on the verge of collapse. Yinzhu knew that Di Zaiying was too important to Mother."

"When Di Zaiying left the palace, Jinzhu, who was unaware of the situation, scolded Di Zaiying. She thought Di Zaiying was cowardly and incompetent, and that he didn't dare to take his mother away at the beginning. Now that his mother had a sense of justice, he came to disrupt her plan."

"Yinzhu knew the inside story and said something to Di Zaiying after Jinzhu left."

"Yinzhu said that she didn't want to say anything, but seeing that her mother seemed to be 'alive', she couldn't bear to see Di Zaiying always feel guilty."

"So she told Di Zaiying that he was her mother's salvation and her mother's sweetheart, and it was just fate. She hoped that Di Zaiying would live well according to her mother's wishes."

Having said this, Shen Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at Jiaojiao.

"This is what Yinzhu said. If there was anything special about that meeting, this is all I know."

Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao vaguely felt that Yinzhu's words might be one of the butterfly effects of Yu Liu's "awakening", and was also the key to Di Zaiying's early entry into the palace!

Yinzhu's words finally made Di Zaiying convinced that Yu Liu had him in her heart and they really loved each other.

Perhaps it was this belief that prompted him to take root in the Yong Dynasty. When he learned that Emperor Yong was looking for an enlightenment teacher for the Fourth Prince, he could not wait to make arrangements and recommend himself, just to avenge Yu Liu.

In Sister Meng's dream, Di Zaiying should have entered the palace in advance, but before he could make a move on Xiao Si, Xiao Si was pushed into the lake by Yu Zhaoyi and drowned.

Relying on his solid knowledge, Di Zaiying continued to work as an editor in Wenying Palace and followed the path in the original novel until he met Shen Yuanbai.

It was just that this time, because she came from a book, she was able to use the "rebound talisman" to subdue Di Zaiying in the study room.

From then on, the direction of this world began to truly deviate from the original work, and to this day, the so-called "plot" has changed beyond all recognition!

Jiaojiao finally connected the dots in her mind. She took a deep breath and continued to look back.

Obviously, Yu Liu's plan has always been adapted to the situation.

She used her body to nourish the Soul-Catching God Gu, so she was destined not to live long. At that time, Emperor Yong was obsessed with her, so Yu Liu implicitly hinted and instigated Emperor Yong to attack the Northern Kingdom again.

She wanted to see those two beasts die a miserable death before she died. As for what would happen to the people of the Northern Country, she no longer cared!

However, although Emperor Yong was obsessed with her, he did not forget his status as an emperor.

Now that he has accepted the marriage proposal and likes Yu Liu very much, Qiao Zhongguo has already led his army back to Wuding, and the Northern Kingdom has also learned to keep a low profile.

He had never done anything wrong to the Northern Kingdom, and if he went back on his word in a short period of time and allowed Qiao Zhongguo to attack the Northern Kingdom again, he would become an untrustworthy emperor.

If he retreated and fought back again, not only would it be a waste of money and manpower, but the soldiers would probably be even more dissatisfied. People all over the world would also think that he was making a fool of his army of hundreds of thousands just to get the beauty Yu Liu.

In this way, he would be criticized even more. I am afraid that by then, all the generals and soldiers in the army would support Qiao Zhongguo's rebellion!

Emperor Yong had many considerations. He would definitely fight against the Northern Kingdom, but it would take at least a few years until the storm had passed.

Yu Liu saw what Emperor Yong was thinking, and she became anxious when she thought that she would never live to that time. And at this moment, she found out that she was finally pregnant!

At this point, a bigger plan began to brew in Yu Liu's mind, which was even crazier than the beginning, and was even willing to affect the entire world!

Seeing this, Jiaojiao raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Yuanbai.

Yu Liu did not hide her thoughts in the letter. She clearly wrote that Shen Yuanbai was destined to be her pawn from birth, and the tool for her to disrupt the Yong Dynasty and destroy the Northern Kingdom.

Shen Yuanbai had already realized this, so he looked very calm.

Jiaojiao lowered her eyes again and saw the last part, which turned out to be Yu Liu's confession:

"Bai'er, mother has been treated inhumanely like this, and her heart is already broken beyond repair. Mother hates this day and this life. Mother has woken up in dreams several times in the middle of the night, and she even wishes to destroy everything in this world."

"All of Mother's plans from now on will pave the way for you. Even if you don't want to, the people Mother leaves behind will drag you forward and force you to follow the path Mother arranges."

"Bai'er, mother is so selfish that she is willing to work hard just to fulfill her long-cherished wish. As for the rest of you, even you, you must be used by mother."

"It is a blessing to have few relatives. What we cultivate is to have no debts. Mother gave birth to you but never raised you. If everything goes well, when you fulfill Mother's last wish, then we will have no debts."

"From now on, whether you want to own the country or enjoy the mountains and rivers, it is up to my son to choose."

"If the plan fails...if the plan fails...my mother has experienced all kinds of sufferings in her life. If the plan fails, I will die with regrets."

"Bai'er, why do you think God gave mother such a miserable life? I will definitely not come back in the next life."

"If there is reincarnation, I would rather be reborn again, I only hope to be the apple of my parents' eyes, find a devoted lover, and have another child - just like Bai'er."

"Oh--"

"Mother's body and mind have long been in tatters. How can you still be so naive and wishful thinking that there is still a time in this world when you can treat your mother well?"

"Yuan Bai, my son, your mother will not wish you peace and happiness, because your life is destined to be rough, sad, and controlled by your mother."

"If I wish, I wish you everything goes well and everything that my mother wishes for."

"Perhaps after my mother's last wish is fulfilled, my son will finally be free. From now on, he will sing with the accompaniment of others, walk alone with a lamp, and ride a horse stepping on flowers towards freedom—"

"My mother, Liu Ling, wrote this last piece of writing. Don't think about it in this lifetime."
