"Now you are a serious criminal in both countries. After you sign and put your fingerprint on the document, you will be executed."
"Please, sir, let me see Ling Ran just once."
"Dream on!"
Perhaps because of Ling Shuang's tacit approval, the two constables did not make things difficult for me.
The past replays in my mind again and again, happiness mixed with pain.
I forgot my beloved Ye Lisheng, but after many twists and turns, I met him again and fell in love with him once more.
"Ye Lisheng, you must still be alive, right?"
In my eyes, he was always omnipotent, so even when I saw the charred corpse, I still couldn't believe it was him.
Crystalline tears streamed down her cheeks, accidentally wetting the blood on her face, turning her tears into red blood tears that flowed onto the ground.
The pain in my heart is more painful than the physical pain.
"Are you sad?" a deep male voice, tinged with mockery, rang out.
The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar. After glancing up at him casually, she asked, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
"It seems your memory has returned, so you should know where you came from, right?" Mo Sheng asked.
"What advice does the Master have?" I asked, my tone somewhat confrontational.
"If you had come back with me back then, you wouldn't have suffered all this pain, and Prince Anyang wouldn't have lost his life!"
"You're talking nonsense, Ye Lisheng is definitely not dead!" I retorted as if I had gone mad.
"It's no use denying it. The eldest prince of Lanyi, Nangong Anren, personally confirmed that the charred corpse was indeed Ye Lisheng!"
He looked down at my pained and contorted face and felt a great sense of satisfaction.
"Thud!" He threw a dagger in front of me.
He forced me to look up at him and said, "Since it's so painful, why not just take care of it yourself?"
"Maybe I can catch up with Ye Lisheng on my way to the underworld."
The hand that was gripping my chin was incredibly strong; as soon as he released it, my fair skin immediately turned bright red.
"I won't die, unless Ye Lisheng really dies." I said weakly, clinging to my last bit of stubbornness.
"Where is the imperial edict?" he asked, changing the subject.
A hint of sarcasm crept across my lips, and a smile appeared on my pale face, looking both poignant and heartbreaking.
"Why does Young Master Mo also want to become a master of spiritual energy?"
"Where?" he asked impatiently, seemingly wanting to end things as soon as possible.
"You can't go back!"
"Whether it's the past or the present, you can't go back. You can only stay here and die alone!"
I could clearly see the seven colors of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—changing across his face.
He has always been searching for a way back, and that has never changed.
Whether he becomes a Lingqi Master with power or a disciple of Wangqiaochuan, he is searching for a way back.
"I'm going back no matter what!" he said firmly, then added, "But now I can only go back alone, and you're destined to be my stepping stone!"
"Heh!" As if I had heard some hilarious joke, I glanced at him with disdain, my eyes filled with contempt.
"Then I wish Young Master Mo all the best in advance."
"Tell me where the imperial edict is, and you will be spared from suffering!" Seeing his sudden change, one would surely have been deceived if one did not already know what kind of person he was.
"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Mo. I don't care about pain or death."
Seeing my insistence, he stopped talking, his eyes showing some impatience, and finally he turned and left.
"Sir, just tell me what you'd like to eat or drink!" he said, placing a bulging purse in front of the two constables.
Lian Huzi opened the package and immediately saw stars: "Young Master Mo, you're too kind! Please tell us brothers what's on your mind!"
Mo Sheng beckoned, and two constables immediately leaned in to whisper something.
The two constables looked troubled, as if the situation was somewhat difficult.
"Princess Ling Shuang specifically instructed that she must not die before she left, Young Master Mo..."
He sighed solemnly and said, "She has an imperial edict on her person. The Crown Prince wants to know where the edict is, but she refused to tell me even after I questioned her for a long time."
"If she gets out alive, the imperial edict will definitely fall into someone else's hands, and that eldest prince..."
Mo Sheng didn't elaborate on what followed, but they could roughly guess the seriousness of the matter.
"Did the Crown Prince really say that?" the constable asked again to confirm.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the First Prince. Whether you can find out the whereabouts of the imperial edict depends on you two."
"Young Master Mo, rest assured, since it was the Crown Prince who gave the order, we will do our best!"
...
The towering mountain peaks looked up at me like a giant dragon winding and coiling.
The thick fog shrouded the forest, adding a touch of mystery.
A figure darted quickly through the woods, looking quite anxious, followed closely by a black figure.
"Ye Lisheng, stop right there!" Fan Feng shouted loudly.
Ye Lisheng, dressed in a blue robe and exuding an extraordinary aura, stopped in front of them, his furrowed brows revealing tension and unease.
Where are you going now?
"Are you going to your death?"
Do you want our plan to fail at the last minute?
"Don't forget that you are Ye Lisheng, the Prince of Anyang. We must put all sentimental feelings behind us."
Ye Lisheng's dark pupils gleamed coldly in the sunlight, as if uttering another word and drawing his knife would instantly decapitate someone.
"The people in the imperial prison are my men, so naturally you won't care!"
"Ye Lisheng, do you still remember what you said before?"
“We’ve been planning this from the very beginning, but we never imagined it would involve innocent people, and we certainly never imagined she was so important to you.”
"Which is more important, and how will you choose?"
Every word Fan Feng uttered felt like a needle piercing his heart.
It was all planned from the very beginning; Murong Kui's disappearance was part of the plan.
Consort Mo's return is in the works.
The marriage alliance between Ling Shuang and Lan Yi is in the works.
Even the discovery of the imperial edict and the imperial seal, and the ascension to the throne, were all part of the plan, but no one expected to encounter me.
That day I appeared before him as if descending from the sky, and from then on, he fell hopelessly in love with me.
He was calculating every step Ye Lisheng took, but he never expected that she would fall in love with me.
"I'll secretly stand at a distance and take a look at her. As long as I know she's safe, I'll leave, okay?"
The once aloof Prince Anyang is now begging others for the sake of a woman; if this gets out, probably no one will believe it.
Fan Feng sneered, "The Prince of Anyang has already died in that fire. Until things are settled, you are not yourself."
He then threw a mask in front of him and said, "From now on, you will no longer be yourself."
"You made this decision yourself; I'm just reminding you."
