After kneeling reverently before the ancestral tablet, the three of them walked out of the cold cave. It was already dark outside.

The temperature alternated between hot and cold, and the night mountain breeze made Su Yunxuan sneeze uncontrollably.

Worried that she might get sick, Su Changfeng helped her down the mountain.

The three of them walked to the middle of the mountain and saw from afar a large group of people coming up from the ground below.

Ruoying cautiously drew out his sword and protected Su Yunxuan.

After walking down another ten or so steps, someone in the crowd below shouted joyfully, "Empress, the Empress is coming down."

"Yes, it's really the Empress Sister..."

There were more and more calls, and judging from their accents, they were refugees from other places who had fled to the capital of Yunsheng.

Su Yunxuan ordered Ruoying to put away her sword, and with the help of Su Changfeng, she went forward together. Just as she was about to ask, a young man rushed in front of her and knelt down with a plop. "I am Ergouzi, thank the Empress for saving my life."

Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred people behind him knelt down towards Su Yunxuan, shouting various words of gratitude.

For a moment, wherever she looked, she saw the people of Yunsheng kneeling down and kowtowing to her to express their gratitude. Su Yunxuan was so shocked by this sudden scene that she stayed where she was.

If what she had seen and heard before had once made her doubt whether her move to open the city and accept refugees was correct, at this moment, she was extremely sure.

Everything is worth it!

A little girl walked through the crowd, climbing the stairs carefully step by step.

Seeing the little girl trying to approach Su Yunxuan, Ruoying raised her arm to stop her, but Su Changfeng gently stopped her.

The little girl looked at Ruoying with fear in her eyes, then looked at Su Changfeng, and smiled at him and said, "Master Taifu, you are the Master Taifu that the Empress sister wants to marry."

Recognizing that the little girl in front of her was the little girl she saw at the foot of the mountain before climbing the mountain, Su Yunxuan smiled and rubbed the girl's forehead, half squatted down and asked, "What are you doing up here so late?"

The little girl put her fist in front of Su Yunxuan.

Su Yunxuan looked at her in confusion. The girl opened her palm and a red egg came into view.

Su Yunxuan smiled, took the egg from the girl's palm, and asked, "Did you want to give me this red egg this morning?"

The girl nodded, "Yes, Am left it specially, we dyed it with the flower juice ourselves."

"Thank you." Su Yunxuan put the egg under her nose and sniffed it, praising: "It smells so good!"

She is so hungry!

The little girl's smile widened.

She glanced back at the crowd behind her, then turned around again, smiled at Su Changfeng who was also looking at her with a smile, then turned to Su Yunxuan and said sweetly, "Amu said that the Empress and the Grand Tutor are both beautiful and kind-hearted. Nier also thinks that sister and brother are a good match. Nier hopes that sister can marry brother soon."

"Thank you for your auspicious words. Let's get married. How about inviting Ni'er to watch the ceremony?" Su Changfeng also went down to the little girl, half squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed the girl's head.

"Yeah, and Eminem." The little girl nodded happily.

"And we, we all want to watch the ceremony..."

"When the time comes, we will definitely prepare a great gift for the Empress and the Grand Tutor..."

"Don't brag. What great gift do you have?"

"Of course I can cut paper, I will..."

"She doesn't have it, we have to work together to find it..."

The crowd was filled with laughter and discussion, which was getting more and more intense.

Su Yunxuan held the egg and watched quietly. Although she couldn't see the specific appearance of these people, her heart had already become warm and the tiredness in her body seemed to disappear.

The little girl returned to her mother. Su Changfeng stood up and held Su Yunxuan's hand. Su Yunxuan came back to her senses and raised her voice to shout to the crowd: "Thank you. Everyone, get up. It's getting late. Be careful when you go down the mountain."

......

After going down the mountain and making sure that all the remaining residents had left, Su Yunxuan got on the carriage.

As soon as they sat down in the car, Su Changfeng took the thin blanket in the car and pretended to put it on Su Yunxuan who was sneezing violently.

Su Yunxuan grabbed the blanket and shook her head to refuse, "It's very hot, no need, Brother Changfeng, let's hurry back as soon as possible."

After ordering Ruoying to speed up the carriage, Su Changfeng looked back at Su Yunxuan and asked, "Are you worried about Feng Yuqi?"

"Yes." Su Yunxuan nodded and grabbed Su Changfeng's hand that was extended to her. "We need to think carefully about how to talk to Feng Lan and who to send."

"Don't you object to taking Feng Yuqi to negotiate with Feng Lan?" Su Changfeng asked in surprise.

Based on her understanding of Su Yunxuan, he thought that Su Yunxuan would not agree with Prince Xu using Feng Yuqi to negotiate with Feng Lan.

Su Yunxuan shook her head again, lowered her eyes and bit her lip. She looked at Su Changfeng and said seriously, "Before I met them, I was indeed hesitant about whether to agree with Prince Xu's approach. Feng Yuqi... He is not a bad person. Because of my father, I actually wanted to call him brother like Zixi did.

I promised my father that I don’t want to see Feng Yuqi get hurt because of me…”

Her voice was full of sadness. Su Changfeng pinched her hand and stopped her: "I know, if you don't want to, I will persuade..."

"Do not."

Su Yunxuan interrupted, her voice a little hoarse, "You don't have to persuade your grandfather to release Feng Yuqi. He did it for Yun Sheng, for us...

Using Fengyuqi to exchange for the well-being of the people of Yunsheng is the fastest way to resolve natural disasters; with Fengyuqi in our hands, Fenglan will not dare to really start a war against Yunsheng at this time, and all our problems will be solved...

We just need to ensure that Prince Xu and his men will never harm Feng Yuqi...

Feng Yuqi's temper..."

"Don't hurt him. Okay, stop thinking about it. You must be hungry. How about eating the red egg that you almost crushed?"

Not wanting to see her struggling to convince him, Su Changfeng changed the subject, lifted Su Yunxuan's egg-holding palm and placed it under her nose.

The strong feeling of hunger came again. Su Yunxuan stopped thinking, lowered her eyes and began to peel the eggshells.

Her fingers were weak, and hunger forced her fingers that were pinching her eggs to tremble constantly.

Seeing this, Su Changfeng hurriedly took the egg, peeled it in a few seconds and handed it to Su Yunxuan's mouth.

Seeing Su Yunxuan wolfing down the food, he quickly turned around to get the teapot to pour water.

Suddenly, a white light flashed outside, followed by Ruoying's exclamation outside, "Master, there is lightning, the wind is blowing, and it is going to rain."

"What..." Su Yunxuan was so shocked that she choked when she heard the voice.

Su Changfeng hurriedly brought the tea to her mouth.

Just as he took a big sip, there was a loud "boom" of thunder outside.

Immediately afterwards, thunder rumbled.

Su Yunxuan quickly swallowed the food in her throat and turned around to look out the window, ignoring Su Changfeng's persuasion.

The moment the curtain was opened, heavy rain poured down.

In disbelief, she stretched her palms out of the window and felt the rain falling madly on her palms. Su Yunxuan turned around suddenly, pinched Su Changfeng's shoulders and shouted excitedly: "Brother Changfeng, it's raining, Yunsheng finally rained..."
