Chapter 625: 625 Family Reunion! A New Storm Arises [1 update]

"Elder Mo, who had seen the recently popular ’Treasures of The Divine Land,’ agreed that it was indeed a fine work among historical variety shows.

However, as an old-timer at the Cultural Relics Bureau Archaeology Center, Elder Mo had his own stubbornness.

He believed that history, such a solemn and supreme entity, should not be trivialized into entertainment.

What’s more, ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ recreates history through performances, which Elder Mo did not like.

Because no one can completely replicate history, it always carries a degree of personal subjectivity.

Not to mention, the show even hired a voice actor to dub the earth-shattering words once spoken by Princess Yongning.

Absolutely ridiculous!

Already critical of ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ from top to bottom, upon hearing the conversation between Professor Xue and the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Elder Mo found it even more intolerable.

Just because a girl under the age of twenty says there’s the body of Princess Jingan under Jing’an Palace, it’s there?

If Ye Wanlan says there’s the Imperial Jade Seal beneath the Xiang’s Imperial Palace ruins, should all historical artifacts be turned inside out in search?

Elder Mo coldly stated, ’In short, I do not agree with this matter, and I will never allow her to treat our cultural relics and historical sites this way!’

’Elder Mo, Miss Ye, she...’ The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau began, but paused, ’She has helped us a lot, the Concentricity Pendant of Princess Yongning, Princess Jingan’s Golden Step Shake, and Marshal Huo’s Divine Might Spear... Many were found by her. She must have her reasons for saying this.’

’You regard her words as absolute just because of this? Absurd!’ Elder Mo sneered, once again slamming the object in his hand onto the table, ’She found them simply because these items don’t move; they were in Shenzhou to begin with, it’s all just a coincidence.’

The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau was at a loss for words.

Maybe one or two finds were coincidences, but three or four?

’I’ve made myself clear, I do not agree with blindly excavating at the Xiang’s Imperial Palace,’ said Elder Mo with an icy expression, ’As long as I disagree, don’t even think about getting approval!’

Clearly infuriated, he didn’t wait for any response from the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau and promptly left with a sweep of his sleeves.

’Director, this...’ Professor Xue was speechless, ’Actually, we haven’t thoroughly explored under Jing’an Palace yet. If Princess Jingan’s body really is underneath, it would indeed be beneficial to our work.’

’Sigh, Elder Mo has always been stubborn. As the years go by, times are advancing, and our thoughts and actions should progress as well,’ the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau shook his head, ’Please tell Miss Ye not to rush; I’ll figure out a solution to this.’

Professor Xue nodded, then hesitantly said, ’Won’t this possibly affect your job...’

’I believe in Miss Ye,’ the Director said resolutely, ’If she says so, she is most likely right. Even if my job encounters problems during this period, it’s only a temporary effect.’

But if Princess Jingan’s body is really found, it will be a significant push for the history of Shenzhou.

What’s a little sacrifice for something like that?

’Your integrity is admirable, Director,’ Professor Xue felt a deep respect, ’I will go and reply to Wanlan right away.’

**

After Ye Wanlan lifted the Binding Spirit Array, Xiang Mingyu was also able to leave the deserted island.

Back on the ship, Ye Wanlan threw the blonde man overboard and returned to Yunjing with Su Xueqing.

It wasn’t until arriving at Yunjing that the eerie feeling lingering on Su Xueqing gradually dissipated.

’Xueqing, I have urgent matters, so I can’t accompany you back,’ Ye Wanlan turned to instruct, ’The incident where they kidnapped you is tied to Su Ningxiang; never let your guard down.’

’Understood,’ Su Xueqing’s expression turned colder, ’Even a clay figurine has some temper. She keeps using these despicable tactics; does she really think I can’t handle it?’

She would give Su Ningxiang a taste of her own medicine.

After separating from Su Xueqing, Ye Wanlan took Xiang Mingyu back to the Lin Mansion.

Hearing the footsteps, Hua Yingyue walked out, ’Ah Lan, you’re back? Why were you out and about for so long today—’"

Her voice came to an abrupt stop.

Hua Yingyue was so shocked that she nearly lost her ability to speak: "... Auntie?!"

Xiang Mingyu’s brows furrowed, and her face once again showed a hint of confusion: "You also call me... Auntie?"

Who exactly is she?

Why can’t she remember anything?!

"Indeed, it is Auntie!" Hua Yingyue dashed forward, and the next second, she anxiously turned to Ye Wanlan, "Ah Lan, could it be that you just went through a life and death crisis..."

"Not quite." Ye Wanlan shook her head, "This matter is a long story, and I’m also full of confusion."

She recounted the previous events to Hua Yingyue.

Hua Yingyue listened with extreme heartache: "Auntie has suffered!"

"Auntie has forgotten many things and was trapped by the Binding Spirit Array for many years." Ye Wanlan said softly, "Your situation is a bit different from hers, Auntie has lost too many memories, her character is like a blank page now."

Hua Yingyue fell silent.

Princess Jingan Xiang Mingyu was the person she respected the most. To her, Xiang Mingyu was not just an aunt, but a second mother.

Xiang Mingyu and Ning Zhaozong were siblings from the same mother, and both had the brave and decisive blood of the Xiang Imperial Family running through their veins.

When Ning Zhaozong was suppressing reactionary forces in the court with a thunderous approach, Xiang Mingyu was already capable of taking up arms and mounting a horse.

How heroic and outstanding Xiang Mingyu was, a woman of peerless elegance.

She had a strong character and was never willing to admit defeat. She put great effort into nurturing Hua Yingyue.

Hua Yingyue was able to grow into the generation’s King Qin, and Xiang Mingyu’s contribution was indispensable.

But now, looking at Xiang Mingyu who seemed like a child new to the world, Hua Yingyue felt as if her heart was being clenched, so pained she could hardly breathe.

Hua Yingyue slowly exhaled: "Then, if we find Auntie’s body and successfully piece it together, could we restore Auntie to normal?"

"All this is just my conjecture." Ye Wanlan said after a moment of silence, "But I hope it is possible, we can’t let Auntie continue like this."

While Ning Zhaozong was alive, Princess Jingan Xiang Mingyu had already stood on her own.

After Ning Zhaozong’s death, she assisted Yongshun Emperor Xiang Chen to the throne in the capacity of Prince Regent, and created the last six years of prosperity in the late Ning Dynasty.

Xiang Mingyu had always been a brilliant person, but in that era of heroic men and women, her elegance was often overlooked.

"Alright." Hua Yingyue nodded with a grave expression, "No matter what, Auntie must be returned to normal, I will go with you to Fengyuan."

Fengyuan was also her hometown.

Since returning to Shenzhou three hundred years later, she had yet to set foot in this ancient city.

Xiang Mingyu was still looking around in confusion, her eyes occasionally showing a hint of curiosity.

"Ah Lan!" Lin Huaijin hurried in at this time, "What’s going on? People online are saying you want to re-excavate Xiang’s Imperial Palace, and they’re scolding you! We have to clarify this quickly!"

Ye Wanlan looked up: "To be precise, I only want to excavate Jing’an Palace once."

"What?" Lin Huaijin had a moment of blankness on his face, and he stammered, "So... so what the internet is saying is true?"

[Insider news, grapevine says Ye Wanlan has proposed to the Cultural Relics Bureau to excavate Xiang’s Imperial Palace, claiming that Princess Jingan’s remains are there, but was severely criticized by the bureau’s veterans.]

[Excavating Xiang’s Imperial Palace? Has Ye Wanlan finally gone mad?]

[Good criticism! Any demand is made boldly, with no regard for one’s capabilities, serves her right!]
