"Mother!" Ming Xi flew quickly to Ye Zhen. "Mother …"
Ye Zhen was about to return to the room when she suddenly saw her son coming over. She stopped and looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong?"
"Mother, did you take the Wang Qing pill?" Ming Xi's expression was not good as he looked straight at Ye Zhen.
"Well, it will take a few days before I forget things. Don't worry." Ye Zhen touched Ming Xi's head. What she did not say was that she did not want to always think of Emperor Mo, so she wanted to take the pill in advance.
She did not want to think of Emperor Mo again. The more she thought of him, the more worried she became. She did not want to hesitate.
Ming Xi looked at Ye Zhen. What should I do? Could it be that Imperial Mother had really forgotten Imperial Father?
"Did you really eat it? Quick, spit it out before it melts into your Qihai. "Fire Phoenix shook Ye Zhen's shoulder, trying to make her spit out the pill.
"Spit it out." Ye Zhen pushed him away. "I ate it long ago. How can I spit it out?"
"How can you forget the City Lord? You know that if you forget the City Lord, you will also forget Mo Rongzhan. The City Lord is Mo Rongzhan. When you came to the Xuantian Continent, Mo Rongzhan followed and merged with the City Lord. When you return to the human world, you won't be able to see Mo Rongzhan at all!"
Ye Rou's ears were ringing from Fire Phoenix's loud voice, and she couldn't hear what he was saying. "What did you say? Say it again? "
Fire Phoenix gasped. "Yao Yao, Mo Rongzhan has been in the Xuantian Continent for a long time. He is the City Lord's avatar. When he appeared here, he merged with the City Lord. Otherwise, how could the City Lord know you so well?"
"…" Ye Zhen's eyes were filled with confusion. She looked at Fire Phoenix blankly and looked back at the stunned Bai Shisan and Shun Jun. Mo Rongzhan? She had already guessed this. She knew that Mo Rongzhan was the avatar of Emperor Mo, but what did she mean by merging with him? "You said that I won't be able to see Mo Rongzhan when I go to the human world? Because he has become Emperor Mo? "
Fire Phoenix glanced uneasily at Ming Xi. "That's right. Forgetting Emperor Mo means forgetting Mo Rongzhan."
Ye Zhen felt as though her entire heart had fallen into an icehouse. "He is Mo Rongzhan. When I came to the Xuantian Continent, he came as well. So … two years ago?"
"Yes." Fire Phoenix nodded stiffly.
Recalling Mo Di's attitude towards her two years ago, Ye Zhen firmly shook her head. "Impossible. At that time, he looked at me like a stranger. If he was Mo Rongzhan, he would not treat me like that. He would definitely come to me."
Ye Zhen was uncertain about other things, but she was clear about Mo Rongzhan's feelings for her. If it was really him, he would have protected her under his wings long ago. Why would he allow her to interact with the Supreme in Mount Xingyun day and night? She still remembered the impatience in his eyes when they first met.
"That's because … the City Lord has never had any weaknesses and has never let any woman get close to him. He was unable to accept the fact that his avatar was in the human world, so when Mo Rongzhan returned, he sealed his memories of the human world. However, the City Lord's feelings for you are too deep. Even if he has no memories of the human world, he still cares about you very much. Otherwise, why would he save you time and time again?" Fire Phoenix put in a good word for Emperor Mo.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath and paced back and forth a few times. Her mind was in a mess. If Mo Rongzhan had already become Emperor Mo …
Would she never be able to find Mo Rongzhan again after going to the human world?
"If what you said is true, then why would he send me away? Is it because … he still doesn't remember me?" Ye Zhen felt as if someone was lashing her heart with a whip. She could not accept that Mo Rongzhan had forgotten her again.
"No, the City Lord has recovered his memory …" Fire Phoenix's voice became softer and softer.
Ming Xi finally broke his silence. "Mother, let me tell you."
Ye Zhen looked down at her son in a daze. "You knew that he was your father?"
"He looks so much like father. I guessed it." In fact, his mother should have guessed it in her heart, but because she loved him too deeply, she did not want to admit it.
"Since he is Mo Rongzhan, but he did not return to the human world with us, that means … he doesn't want to be with us anymore. What's the use of remembering him?" Ye Zhen laughed. Her chest seemed to be pressed by an iceberg. The feeling was unspeakably uncomfortable, and her eyes were sore.
Ming Xi held Ye Zhen's hand. "Mother, let's go to the room. I'll tell you everything clearly. In fact, father has his own difficulties."
Ye Zhen seemed to have been drained of all her strength as she was led back to the room by Ming Xi.
There was only one thought left in her mind: Mo Rongzhan did not want her anymore. He would rather stay with her as an outsider than tell her that he was the one she loved deeply.
Recalling her interactions with Mo Rongzhan over the past two years, Ye Zhen could not believe that he was Mo Rongzhan.
"Mother, calm down. I'll tell you everything I know." Ming Xi helped Ye Zhen sit down. He knew that if his mother knew the truth, she would have such a reaction.
"Tell me, tell me a reason for me to forgive him." Ye Zhen found that she was actually very calm. She didn't even feel angry. As long as she thought that her closest lover could stay with her as an outsider without batting an eyelid, and even let her survive alone in this place, it was difficult for her to find a reason to forgive him.
Ming Xi took a deep breath. "It's actually like this …"
Ye Zhen listened calmly as her son told her little by little about Mo Rongzhan's difficulties. He said that his indifference at first was because he had no memory. Later, he could not turn a blind eye to her because of the emotions of his doppelganger. It was not until recently that he gradually recovered his memory.
"Did he send us away because he didn't want us to implicate him here?" Ye Zhen asked with a faint smile.
"Mother, that's what Mo Rongzhan thought. Father didn't think so. He couldn't bear to see you make a choice, and he didn't want us to be in danger here. If you knew that he was Father, would you go back to the human world? If you didn't go back, what would happen to Ming Yu? " Ming Xi whispered, "I didn't understand at first, but later I learned that he did it for you, so I forgave him."
Ye Zhen closed her eyes. "But he still didn't tell me anything."
"Father said that sometimes it's crueler to know than not to know." Ming Xi whispered, "Mother, if we stay, you may be taken to the Yan Region, and Ming Yu … Isn't this choice too painful for you? Moreover, you also know that Father's cultivation can already transcend the mortal world and enter sainthood. He has always been unwilling because he doesn't want to sever his seven emotions and six desires. He can't bear to part with you. "
"Where is he?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"… Father? I heard from Sage An Ge that he's still at the border of Tongtian River. A sage went to persuade him to transcend the mortal world and enter sainthood, "Ming Xi said.
