In the human world.
A man dressed in a black brocade robe exuded a biting cold and dignified aura. As he strode forward, everyone knelt down to pay their respects, not daring to lift their eyes. He was the new Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Half a year after Mo Rongzhan's disappearance, he had ascended the throne by force. Within a year, he had swept away all obstacles and restored peace and prosperity to the Jin Kingdom.
He was holding a little white rabbit in his arms, which seemed to be incompatible with his aura, but there was a strange kind of harmony.
"Ming Yu." He came to the harem and saw the little girl he had not seen for a few days in the Imperial Garden.
"Father, Father!" Ming Yu heard a familiar deep voice, turned her head abruptly and rushed over happily.
Murong Ke picked her up. "This is for you."
"Ah, Little White." Ming Yu's eyes lit up and she held the little white rabbit tightly in her arms. "It looks so much like Little White."
"Yes, it will replace Little White to accompany you in the future, okay?" Murong Ke asked softly in a low voice.
Ming Yu rubbed the little white rabbit's back, a few blurred images flashed through her mind. "Little White has been with me for a long time. Mother gave it to me."
Murong Ke's eyes brightened slightly. "Ming Yu, do you remember Mother?"
"I don't remember." Ming Yu shook her head and pursed her lips tightly. After a while, she said, "Father, I'll feed Little White carrots."
She doesn't remember, or does she not want to remember?
Murong Ke sighed in his heart. At first, Ming Yu missed Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan very much. Gradually, as she regained her smile, she no longer mentioned her parents. Except for occasionally mentioning Ming Xi, she seemed to have forgotten who her real parents were.
She began to call him father a year ago, as if she had completely forgotten Ye Zhen.
"I'll go with you." Murong Ke said. He put Ming Yu on the ground, reached for the little white rabbit, and led her to the Imperial Garden.
The Imperial Garden had become a place for Ming Yu to play. All the concubines who used to stay in the palace were sent to the palace by Murong Ke.
There were only the father and daughter in the entire palace.
"Imperial Father, when will Grandfather Ye return?" Ming Yu asked in a tender voice.
A few days ago, she finally saw the other grandfather that her father had mentioned. Although she didn't remember him, when she saw Grandpa Ye, she felt particularly close. After getting along for less than half a day, she had nothing to say to Grandpa Ye.
Grandpa Ye also took her hunting and taught her how to ride. It was fun.
However, he only accompanied her for two days before telling her that he had something to do and that he would come back to see her in a few days.
It had already been a few days.
Murong Ke said with a smile, "He should be back soon."
"Where did Grandpa Ye go? Father, it's not easy for Grandfather to come back. Don't let him do too many things, "Ming Yu said.
"En, okay." Murong Ke's eyes were filled with a doting smile. He would do whatever his daughter said.
Actually, Ye Yiqing had not gone to work for him. He had gone to Cloud Mountain.
They had told him the scene of Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan's disappearance at that time. Ye Yiqing's reaction was calmer than he had imagined. He didn't seem to think it was unbelievable. He just said that he would go to Cloud Mountain in person.
Ye Chunnan took him to Cloud Mountain together. He wondered if Ye Yiqing, who had seen so much, could see where Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan had gone and whether they would come back.
"Father, what about Yan Xiaoliu?" Ming Yu's voice lowered. "I haven't seen him for a long time."
"When he has enough ability to protect you, he will come back." Murong Ke's tone was inevitably a little sour. Ming Yu was not so close to him at first. The person she relied on the most was Yan Xiaoliu. In the three years when Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan disappeared, if it weren't for Yan Xiaoliu, Ming Yu might not have recovered so quickly.
He knew how important Yan Xiaoliu was to Ming Yu, and he also knew about Yan Xiaoliu's background. That was why he sent Yan Xiaoliu out to gain experience and gain military merits. When he had the qualifications to stand by Ming Yu's side and protect her, he would naturally let Yan Xiaoliu return.
"I miss Yan Xiaoliu." Ming Yu whispered. She was afraid that Yan Xiaoliu would suddenly leave her. "Will he really come back?"
Murong Ke rubbed Ming Yu's head, knowing that she was afraid that Yan Xiaoliu would be like Ye Zhen. "I will take you to see him tomorrow, but Yan Xiaoliu can't return to the palace. He can only stay where he should be now."
Ming Yu's eyes lit up. "Good."
"Let's go and feed the little white rabbit." Murong Ke said.
Ming Yu raised the little white rabbit in the imperial garden. Ning Xiang brought fresh vegetables and carrots and helped Ming Yu feed the little white rabbit.
"Your Majesty." Fu De walked over lightly and bowed to Murong Ke. He lowered his voice and said, "Lord Ye is back."
Murong Ke motioned for Fu De to retreat. He looked at Ming Yu and said, "Ming Yu, Father has something to do. I will come back to accompany you for dinner, okay?"
"Okay, Father can go and do your work." Ming Yu's attention had been completely attracted by the little white rabbit.
"After playing for a while, you have to go back to do your homework." Murong Ke reminded her.
Ming Yu's little face fell. "There is a lot of homework today. Grand Tutor said that if I don't finish it, I won't be able to eat my fill tomorrow."
Huang Fuchen actually threatened Ming Yu?
"Finish your homework well. If you don't have enough to eat, go to Father." Murong Ke said softly.
Ming Yu's eyes were bright. She nodded. "Okay."
Murong Ke chuckled and left the back garden.
Ye Yiqing and his son were already waiting in the imperial study.
Time seemed to treat Ye Yiqing particularly well, or perhaps his days in the Hua Nation were too leisurely. There was almost no trace of the passage of time on his body. He looked no different from a few years ago.
It had been six years since he left the Jin Kingdom.
Murong Ke hoped that Ye Yiqing could bring him good news. Even if it was not what he expected, at least … there would be some clues.
"Lord Ye." Murong Ke strode in and stopped Ye Yiqing when he was about to salute. "You have been to Mount Gui Yun. Did you find anything?"
"Your Majesty, don't be too excited." Ye Chunnan comforted him. "Maybe … Yaoyao is coming back."
Murong Ke was stunned. He looked at Ye Chunnan with his deep eyes. "What?"
"The light on the wall of the cave is a little different." Ye Chunnan said.
"Lord Ye, where did Yaoyao and the others go?" Murong Ke tried to calm himself down. He looked at Ye Yiqing, wanting to know what had happened.
Ye Yiqing looked at Murong Ke and said in a low voice, "After learning that Yaoyao and the others went missing, I have been looking for information about another world. We are now in a place called the Human Continent. In a place we don't know, there is a place called the Xuantian Continent …"
"Xuantian Continent?" Murong Ke frowned. "You mean, Yaoyao and the others went to the Xuantian Continent?"
