The portrait of the young man was painted by a spy.

The leading secret guard looked at the portrait and found that this was the person they were looking for.

As expected, the secret guards took action. The young man was a scholar, weak and powerless, and when he encountered the group of wolf-like secret guards, he could not resist at all and could only surrender.

What was even more cruel was that the secret guards received a secret order to kill him. They captured the young man just to force Yang Zhu to show up.

Seeing that Yang Zhu had not shown up, the young man had lost his value. They were impatient and saw that the young man would be beheaded with a knife.

Yang Zhu, who had already escaped and hidden, saw that his beloved was about to be killed, and had no choice but to show up.

She agreed to go back, but on the condition that she must release the young man.

The head of the secret guards agreed, but what Yang Zhu didn't know was that in order to put an end to her thoughts, the old emperor's secret order was that the young man must die.

As soon as she was picked up, the young man was killed. Yang Zhu didn't know about this until much later.

In the Southern Flame Country, witchcraft is prevalent and spiritualism is possible. It is the medium for the world to communicate with the gods.

But whether it is witchcraft or spiritualism, spiritual roots are needed to practice. The Southern Flame Royal Family determines the successor based on spiritual roots and the ability to communicate with the gods.

Yang Zhu is the one with the strongest spiritual roots and the strongest spiritual ability among this generation. Therefore, she was designated as a saint by the elders. She will inherit the throne after the old emperor passes away a hundred years later.

Two years after Yang Zhu took office and his foundation was stable, he set about sending people to bring back Shao Nian Lang, Hou Yue and others.

At this time, Yang Zhu learned that her young husband had been killed two years ago. The whereabouts of the old lady (the young man's mother) and her daughter were unknown, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

She was angry and sad. She sent countless waves of people to look for him. But every time, they returned disappointed without any news.

Yang Zhu was deeply in love with the young man. Although she had ascended the throne of Nanyan, she never found a husband.

During a spiritual communication session, Yang Zhu suffered backlash and his physical condition deteriorated rapidly.

But it was also during this spiritual communication that she received guidance from the gods and learned that her daughter was still alive and in the capital of Daliang.

She was ecstatic and wanted to find her daughter back, firstly to relieve her pain of missing her and enjoy family life, and secondly to inherit the throne.

She learned from the gods that her daughter had extremely high spiritual roots and psychic abilities that were at least a hundred times greater than hers.

But her action made the eldest prince (her brother, biological brother) feel a strong sense of crisis and frustration.

The eldest prince has two sons. The eldest son, through testing, was found to be of top quality in terms of spiritual roots and ability to communicate with gods.

In addition, Yang Zhu has no bloodline. If nothing unexpected happens, the next King of Southern Flame should be his eldest son.

In order to fight for that position, the eldest prince thought of a way to nip the problem in the bud. He wanted to find the child before Yang Zhu and kill her. In this way, his son could successfully ascend to that position.

In this way, the two groups of people searched for a long time in the capital of Daliang, but found no clues.

Until one day, by chance, Hou Yue was discovered by a spy while she was out.

The faint breath emitted by the golden silkworm Gu King sleeping in Hou Yue's body was captured by the secret agent's Liuzong Gu.

Yun’s house was locked.

Yang Zhu was so excited to hear the news about her daughter. However, she also knew that her elder brother, who was eyeing the throne, would not watch the child return safely.

With the eldest prince's character, haha...

Yang Zhu and the eldest prince started a race.

Xiong Chun is Yang Zhu's maid, and was sent to Daliang to look for someone. During this trip, Xiong Chun learned that the eldest prince had colluded with the Nanshan Gate, which was expelled from Nanyan by the previous emperor, and hired someone to kill someone.

This was also the case before them. Yang Zhu had sent out countless waves of people to search for them, but each wave was inexplicably killed halfway.

The Nanshan Clan is a branch of the Nanyan royal family. They are obsessed with witchcraft and in pursuit of power, they use forbidden techniques and kill people. They have long been crippled and expelled from the country.

Xiong Chun's people were ambushed and almost wiped out. Only she and her maid escaped, but they paid the price of being poisoned by a severe poison.

After hearing this, Yun nodded. That makes sense.

Back then, the old lady should have hidden away with her granddaughter. However, she was also worried because she never saw her son come back.

So, after some time, the old man thought the news had passed, so he took the baby Hou Yue and went to look for the young man.

Unfortunately, she was old and it was winter, so the weather was very cold. Instead of finding the person, she froze to death.

It was Hou Yue's destiny (she had the Golden Silkworm Gu King in her body to protect her life), and just when she was dying, they were discovered by Yun who was out.

Yun was kind-hearted, so she took out some money and buried the old man properly. As for Hou Yue, she took her back to the mansion and raised her as her adopted daughter.

"Young Master, the two of us cannot take you back to Nanyan. However, I have already sent a message to Her Majesty the Queen.

I believe Her Majesty the Queen will send someone to pick you up after receiving the message. Please be patient and wait."

Hou Yue just said "hmm".

She pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little nervous but also a little happy at the thought of meeting her biological mother.

But when she looked at Yun, who treated her like her own daughter and had always been kind to her, a hint of sadness and reluctance appeared in her bright eyes.

Where to go or where to follow, how should I choose?

Yun was happy for her, as a mother, although she couldn't bear to part with Hou Yue. After all, when she picked up Yue'er, she was so tiny, frozen blue in the cold snow, and crying so hard that she almost died.

It was she who pulled her back from the brink of death, little by little, and has been doting on her until now. She has real feelings for her.

But she couldn't bear to forcibly take Yue'er away from her daughter and separate them. She couldn't do it.

Yun stroked Hou Yue's little head and soothed her softly.

"Yue'er, don't rush to make a decision, think about it carefully. No matter what you decide, you are my daughter, now and in the future. As long as you don't despise me as your mother."

"mother!!"

Hou Yue threw herself into Yun's arms and nodded while crying.

She cried so hard, how could she have such a good mother.

Dragon Festival.

This is a traditional festival of the Daliang Dynasty, held only every three years.

This year's Dragon Festival was held with exceptional grandeur. The Beimo Royal Court in the north, the Tianlang Kingdom in the west and other countries all sent delegations to participate.

The Tianlang Kingdom, in particular, had already released the news that Princess Jin would bring Tianlang's national treasure with her on this diplomatic mission.

This is big news. Everyone wants to see Tianlang’s national treasure.

Early in the morning, the area in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was cleared and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was set up, waiting for the emperor and empress to arrive, open the altar, burn incense, and offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings.

When the auspicious time arrived, the emperor and empress's procession set out from the palace gate and headed for the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Yun is a second-rank imperial lady, and according to custom, she should attend such important events.

Shihua asked Yun to take her to broaden her horizons. Yun was very good at dealing with people and knew that the emperor loved to grow flowers, so she took her there.
