It was very quiet here, and no sounds could be heard from outside. Dongfang Lan knelt in front of the gold-plated Buddha. His left hand twirled the prayer beads, and his right hand knocked on the wooden fish. "Dong, dong, dong —"
"Bless my Ming Yue, bless my Feng Xie, bless my child's safety!" Dongfang Lan murmured softly. Murong Qiqi had been here many times, and she had seen this situation many times. On the other hand, Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie's eyes were filled with tears when they saw their white-haired old mother praying for them in front of the Buddha statue.
Wanyan Mingyue slowly walked over and knelt down beside Dongfang Lan. As she looked at Dongfang Lan's aged face, her tears continued to fall.
"Qiqi, you're here." Dongfang Lan turned around when she heard the voice. "You're early today …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Dongfang Lan was stunned.
"Mother …" Wanyan Mingyue's face was covered in tears. The word "mother" was enough to express all the emotions in her heart.
"Clang —" The wooden fish stick and prayer beads in Dongfang Lan's hands fell to the ground. She could not believe her eyes. "Mingyue, is that really you? Is this really my Bright Moon? "
"Mother …" Wanyan Mingyue could no longer hold back and threw herself into Dongfang Lan's arms.
At this moment, Wanyan Mingyue's voice was choked with sobs. She couldn't say anything else. She could only call out "Mother" over and over again, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the past decade through this "Mother".
"Bright Moon!"
Dongfang Lan's hand trembled as she stroked Wanyan Mingyue's hair. Yes, it was her Ming Yue! This body was warm, the bright moon was still alive! Her daughter was finally here!
Because of the reunion between the mother and daughter, the room was filled with a layer of happiness and sorrow. Feng Xie arrived in front of Dongfang Lan, knelt down and kowtowed, calling out, "Mother!"
"Feng Xie! That was great! It's great that all of you are alive! "Dong Fang Lan's eyes were filled with tears as she wiped them away." This is great! "
Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie stood on either side of Dongfang Lan and tried to help her up, but Dongfang Lan refused. She knelt respectfully in front of the Buddha statue, placed her hands on the ground, and kowtowed heavily. "Thank you, Buddha! Thank you, Buddha, for reuniting our family! Thank you, Buddha! "
After kowtowing three times, Dongfang Lan finally stood up. She pulled Wanyan Mingyue with her left hand and Feng Xie with her right. She looked to the left, then to the right, then nodded excitedly. "Good, good! Alright! "
The reunion of mother and daughter was something that Dongfang Lan had dreamed of. She had thought that it was just an extravagant wish, but she never expected that her dream would become a reality. How could Dongfang Lan not be excited?
The family was reunited. The tears on Dongfang Lan's face were gradually replaced by smiles. Dongfang Lan held onto Wanyan Mingyue's hand and refused to let go. The mother and daughter had too much to talk about, and the two of them chatted until evening. Dongfang Lan still felt like she wanted to continue.
Dongfang Lan was furious when he heard that Wanyan Mingyue had been in a deep slumber all these years under the Everautumn Palace. It turned out that her daughter had been by her side for so many years, but she, as a mother, had been completely unaware of it. As a result, she had been separated from Wanyan Mingyue for a whole 16 years. How could she not hate her!
"So, this is all Wanyan Lie's doing! He caused our children to be separated. Was it all because of him?! "
At the mention of Wanyan Lie, Dongfang Lan gritted her teeth in hatred.
He had disguised himself very well and had always presented himself as a filial son. Who would have thought that Wanyan Lie was the one who had hidden himself the most? He had been harboring evil intentions all along and had even pretended that nothing had happened! How despicable!
"Mother, don't be angry. Don't let your anger affect your health. Brother has indeed gone overboard, but Brother Xie and I have decided to let bygones be bygones. We've missed too much, and we've lost too much. Now, to be able to spend the rest of our lives together is Brother Xie's and my biggest wish. "
Dongfang Lan could understand Wanyan Mingyue's words. Being able to let go was also a form of relief.
Dongfang Lan was very reluctant to see Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie leave. However, if they were to stay in the capital, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if something happened? This couple had already suffered enough! They could not go through anything else!
Even if Dongfang Lan did not want to be separated from her daughter and son-in-law, this concerned Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie's safety. She could not be selfish and trap them with motherly love. "Alright! It's good that you leave this troublesome place as soon as possible! Find a safe place to lie low first. If Wanyan Lie finds out that you're not around, he will definitely do something crazy. I support your leaving! "
Seeing that it was getting late, Dongfang Lan suppressed her longing for her daughter and urged them to put on their masks and leave as soon as possible. As long as she knew that they were alive and safe, even if they could not see each other, it was still good!
"Remember to write to me often and tell me that you're safe! Mingyue, you must eat well and recuperate! Feng Xie, you must take good care of Mingyue. She's my only daughter! "
Before they left, Dongfang Lan held Wanyan Mingyue's hand and reminded her again and again. Dongfang Lan walked them all the way to the palace gates until they disappeared. Only then did Dongfang Lan return to Jinxuan Palace with Aunt Qing's help.
That day, Murong Qiqi brought the disguised Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie to the Southern Lin Palace. Feng Cang then prepared a horse carriage and accompanied Murong Qiqi to personally escort the two of them.
"Father, Mother, you can go to the Southern Four Prefectures first. I have people there who will take good care of you!"
Murong Qiqi took Wanyan Mingyue's pulse again and wrote down some prescriptions. She even wrote down the nutritional requirements for her diet in detail and asked Feng Xie to keep them safe. She also gave her token to Wanyan Mingyue so that they could communicate with the people from the Demon Domain.
"Good! Good! " Wanyan Mingyue was shocked to know that her daughter had such a promising future. However, she was also overjoyed. Seeing Murong Qiqi like this made Wanyan Mingyue feel less worried about her daughter. It seemed that she could take care of herself.
"Cang 'er, your father told me about you. Curing the poison is a big deal! The poison has tortured you for so many years. When your father and I leave, you won't have anything to worry about anymore. Just do what you need to do! "
"Although we let Wanyan Lie go, he has wronged you. You can't be soft on him! But … you're not alone anymore. You still have Qiqi, and you'll have children in the future. So, you must plan this carefully. Either you don't make a move, or if you make a move, you must give the other party a fatal blow. I don't want to see the tragedy that happened to me and your father repeat itself. Cang 'er, do you understand what I mean? "
