Chapter 300... Time Traveled Again?
Just half an hour after they set off, Ye Wumian had barely entered his bedchamber when a palace servant came to report that the new Emperor Qiyun had come to court and requested to see him.
Sleepless at night, preoccupied with thoughts of his wife and daughter, was quite agitated. He sent someone over to inform the Emperor that the princess had been born and that he was overjoyed and refused to see any outside guests.
But the Qi Yun envoy still wouldn't let it go, and even barged into the palace with the new emperor, forcing Ye Wumian to step in, which made him extremely unhappy.
"Emperor Yun, you led your men into my Nightfall Palace, aren't you afraid you won't be able to get back?"
Ye Wumian sat on the high dragon throne, legs crossed, exuding a fierce aura. His red eyes flickered with dark anger. Apart from A Yuan and Xiao Yan'er, he would not tolerate any damned person who dared to disturb him while he was taking care of his wife and daughter...
"Night Emperor, I will ask you one more time, where are Xuan Yuan and Hua Buyu?"
With cold, deer-like eyes and a resounding tone, Yun Zhaoyao stood below in a peach-colored brocade robe with dragon patterns. Her slender figure seemed even thinner than a month ago, and her fair and pure face was as usual, but her brows revealed a strong imperial aura.
"Ha! What Xuan Yuan, what Hua Buyu, I don't know them and I don't recognize them. Emperor Yun, don't think you're all that just because you've just ascended the throne. I can overlook your intrusion into Yelan this time, but you should go back to Qiyun!"
He waved his sleeve, clearly intending not to say anything.
Yun Zhaoyao's face grew increasingly frosty, her sinister and terrifying eyes fixed on the sky.
"Before arriving in your country, I had already inquired and found out that Xuan Yuan and Hua Buyu have been frequently visiting the Ye Lan Imperial Palace recently. Not only them, but also Yuan Qi's Grand Tutor and General. I have important matters to discuss with them, and this trip is also in the spirit of friendly relations between our two countries. I hope that Your Majesty will give me some face."
Even though he was ten years younger than Ye Wumian, Yun Zhaoyao showed no fear. He had launched his plan ahead of time when he returned to Qiyun. He had finally succeeded in ascending the throne and taking power into his own hands. Only after stabilizing the court did he rush to Yelan with his men. This time, he wanted to welcome Sister Hua back with the grandest ceremony.
Ye Wumian was not familiar with Yun Zhaoyao, but he was able to seize power and ascend to the throne in just one month. This young man was no ordinary person.
"Then what important matter does Emperor Yun wish to discuss with... Xuan Yuan?"
"My empress is with him."
"Your queen?"
Ye Wumian immediately sat up straight, a hint of interest appearing on her face. Could it be A Yuan's rival in love?
"Yes, Hua Buyu is my Empress."
His tone and expression were surprisingly firm, revealing no flaw whatsoever.
"Wh...what? Hua Buyu?"
Ye Wumian almost lost her balance. That fierce and ill-mannered woman, Hua Buyu, was actually Qi Yun's empress? When did she become Qi Yun's empress?
"Yes, I am determined to bring Hua Buyu back this time. If the Night Emperor does not tell us their whereabouts, after today, Qi Yun and Ye Lan will be sworn enemies for generations."
Ye Wumian's lips twitched slightly. Why did he feel that this immature guy had learned to threaten people from A Yuan?
He spread his hands, "The Cloud Emperor arrived a step too late; they have already departed."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Wumian then told him the whole story, including the dangers of the voyage and the uncertainty of life and death.
After hearing this, Yun Zhaoyao was almost in a daze. He was too late. He was just one step away. Did Sister Hua just abandon him like this?
"What kind of ship is that? Build me another one. I want to go find them."
Ye Wumian frowned. How could this young man be so stubborn at such a young age?
"Even if you build another ship exactly the same, it won't make a difference. Emperor Yun doesn't know the route. Apart from Xie Cangming, the National Preceptor of Yuanqi, no one else in the world knows the ancient geography of Cang. In my opinion, Emperor Yun should return to Qiyun and wait for good news!"
"No!"
Looking up again, Yun Zhaoyao's gaze was even more determined.
"If they can go, so can I. What use is this empire to me if it weren't for Sister Hua?"
Sleepless Night: "..."
He thought he had been irresponsible enough to his subjects, yet he was outshone by Yun Zhaoyao.
For several days, Yun Zhaoyao insisted that Ye Wumian gather the craftsmen who had built the ship earlier. Ye Wumian initially disagreed, but coincidentally, the fishermen of Minghai got into trouble on the beach and unintentionally revealed the identity of the man, Gu Cang. It turned out that the man had come with the ship three years ago and ended up marrying a fisherwoman, which is why he stayed in Yelan under an assumed name.
With this person's help, Yun Zhaoyao's confidence soared even higher. He was willing to exchange precious treasures from the Qiyun Kingdom's treasury for the ship, only asking that the person be allowed to accompany the ship and guide it to the ancient Cang region in the depths of the Minghai Sea.
Yun Zhaoyao knew the sea journey was dangerous, but he couldn't care less. He only wanted to be with Sister Hua, and this belief had sustained him for many years. Now that he finally held power, he felt that without that flamboyant and lively woman, his later life would be meaningless. Even if he were to perish in the sea, he would never waste his remaining years in Qiyun.
After Xuan Yuan and his group set off, at the same time, in a distant, foreign land...
Xin Moyan's mind was in a daze at this moment. She struggled to open her eyelids and saw two unfamiliar faces, two white-haired men who were close at hand and looked nervous.
She quickly closed her eyes. Perhaps she had been watching Ye Wumian and Uncle Xie for too long, and it was affecting her dreams. Why were she dreaming about such attractive punks...?
Unexpectedly, the conversation she overheard gradually brought her back to her senses.
"What...what happened? Why did my sister faint again?"
"That's right! Dr. Osho, is your medicine even effective? Don't harm my sister!"
"This... this... Your Highness, Third Prince, Princess's fever has subsided, and she doesn't seem to have any problems?"
Why isn't my sister awake yet?
Hearing this strange conversation, Xin Moyan secretly opened one eye. It was the white-haired man from before. She wasn't dreaming. What was going on?
"younger sister!"
One of them shouted excitedly and hurriedly sidled up to the head of the bed, gently patting her head. Startled, Xin Moyan sat up instantly, the weightlessness from lying on the sickbed for so long making her see stars.
"Little sister, how are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
The two squeezed in front of them, both with expressions of surprise. Their white hair was flowing and tied with a silver ribbon. Although they wore white robes, their clothing was peculiar and clearly not the attire of the four countries.
"You...who are you?"
Xin Moyan's voice was terribly hoarse. She shrank back, her face full of vigilance. She knew she wasn't dreaming, but she didn't recognize any of the people or the environment.
"Little sister, I'm your big brother!"
Baili Jueyan rubbed his hands excitedly, his misty eyes gleaming with excitement.
"elder brother?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I am the third brother, Baili Jueyan, and he is the second brother, Baili Juexi."
"I've...time-traveled again?"
