Although doing so is not respectful enough to Xi Yue, the fact is, Feng Xibai is the one who can accompany Xi Yue to the end. Especially now, Xi Yue cannot think independently, so naturally, decisions are made by her parents and elder brother. As for Murong Yi, Murong Xue never put him in the appropriate position.
In his view, Xi Yue is already dead. To Xi Yue, he doesn’t even have any impression. The only thing that proves they once loved each other is the genes flowing in their siblings’ veins.
Murong Xue only later found out that she was given a fief, and she was quite happy. This is probably the only benefit she got as a princess, enough to let her live a prosperous life. But this doesn’t an she will stay where she is and enjoy all this complacently. She still has to strive, it’s just that she now has an extra layer of armor to shield her from the wind and rain.
Because Xi Yue’s mories ca back little by little, it wasn’t like what the original novel wrote, where she recovers all her mories right after waking up. Such a possibility is unlikely. Mainly, because her body organs did not cooperate, compared to the original work, she felt that what she went through now is the real process.
Of course, the original work didn’t ntion giving her a fief, nor did Murong Han receive a fief, so her participation has caused the story direction to change significantly.
Because of a benevolent lie, everyone on Xiran Island tacitly accepted Feng Xibai’s pursuit of Xi Yue as fact. Her body was recovering day by day, and Murong Xue, who made her presence felt enough to Xi Yue, decided to gather her subordinates, return to Lanyue Country, and start her new journey.
As for her mother, with Feng Xibai there, he is far more precious than the children who are technically strangers. At least she recognizes Feng Xibai as her childhood companion who grew up with her.
The siblings, along with their grandparents and uncle, discussed it and left Xiran Island to start their own business.
In the Holy Dynasty, she had nothing to rely on, except for a few people she mingled with at the beginning. Given her ambition, that was definitely not enough to satisfy her aspirations.
After returning to the palace to accept the Emperor’s reward, Murong Xue decided to start everything from zero, beginning with her fief in Liuyang, and expand her business simultaneously in the Holy Dynasty and Lanyue.
Shui Yixuan returned to the Holy Dynasty temporarily without eting. After the siblings returned to Beijing, her brother learned through the Shura Sect’s channels that the royal family of the Holy Dynasty also experienced a palace coup.
Compared with the smooth inheritance in Lanyue Country, the Holy Dynasty can be considered a real battle for the throne.
"Within the Holy Dynasty, anyone supporting the Emperor has either been exiled, dismissed, or, worse, accused of a cri and imprisoned. The Holy Dynasty Emperor hasn’t attended court for half a month, officially due to illness, but the specifics depend on further developnts."
Murong Xue thought of the original novel’s Holy Dynasty, where a palace coup also happened around this ti. But back then, she was involved because Beiming Yi participated in the battle for the throne, and as Prince Yi’s consort, she was naturally implicated, especially since she was pregnant then. The plot was indeed full of twists and turns. However, in this lifeti, she beca an observer, so she felt nothing.
"Beiming Yi seems to have no feelings for the Holy Dynasty Emperor, and it’s said there’s soone around him nad Beitang Qing, allegedly the old emperor’s illegitimate child."
Murong Han raised an eyebrow: "This girl is quite gossipy. How do you know this?"
"Haha, it’s all hearsay. Is it true?"
Murong Han nodded: "They say no wind, no waves. Beiming Yi values this Beitang Qing enough. It’s not unlikely that he is an illegitimate child."
"Over in the Holy Dynasty, who does brother think has a greater chance of winning? The Empress and Crown Prince should currently be Beiming Yi’s biggest competitors, right?"
Murong Han gave Murong Xue a deep look: "Why do you think a cripple like Beiming Yi is qualified to be a competitor of the Holy Dynasty’s Crown Prince? As far as I know, the Emperor doesn’t like this son."
That’s all a facade, okay? The Emperor actually cares a lot!
Beiming Yi is indeed crippled, but that doesn’t stop him from having a strong backing. Under his governance, the Liuyun Sect is thriving year by year, enough to show that he has the potential to be an Emperor.
But her brother’s gaze was too profound. Murong Xue could appropriately remind, but she mustn’t give spoilers, so she pretended to lower her head and ponder.
