Chapter 629: 629 Recognition! Avenging a 300-year-old grudge personally [1 more Chapter]

Past experiences, sounds, images... all such elements gradually restored themselves in Xiang Mingyu’s mind.

Blood, killing, cries, and the clanging of swords mingled incessantly around her, almost causing her brain to burst.

Although such pain was bone-chilling, it was nothing for Xiang Mingyu; she slowly turned her head to meet Hua Yingyue’s worried gaze.

A few seconds later, she finally spoke haltingly, "Xiao Yue?"

"Auntie!" Hua Yingyue cried with joy, "You remembered, you’re alright now!"

"I..." Xiang Mingyu continuously massaged her temples, "Give me a moment, let me catch my breath."

Seeing Xiang Mingyu return to normal, Ye Wanlan also breathed a sigh of relief, and with that exhale, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep again.

"Xiao Wan!" Yan Tingfeng timely caught Ye Wanlan, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, clearly angered.

But in an instant, he simply sighed gently, his expression turning into one of helplessness.

Yan Tingfeng carried Ye Wanlan back into the temporary tent and tucked her in properly.

He sighed again, "She always puts herself last, if I’m no longer here one day..."

At this point, Yan Tingfeng stopped talking.

He took out a bamboo flute, placed it to his lips, and played a soothing lullaby.

Princess Jingan’s remains were restored, causing great excitement within the Cultural Relics Bureau.

The past cannot be pursued, although they couldn’t change the outcome from three hundred years ago, at least,

The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau pondered, "Elder Mo, where do you think we should bury Princess Jingan’s remains?"

"You’re asking me?" Elder Mo pointed to his nose, "Better not ask me, let’s discuss it with Young Miss Ye when she wakes up."

"That’s wise." The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau sighed, "Miss Ye’s achievements in history are indeed remarkable."

Elder Mo muttered, "I’m just afraid that one day, we might discover Emperor Yongshun’s body too..."

Such explosive news, even his heart couldn’t bear!

**

Ye Wanlan woke up again on the third morning.

Sunlight filtered through the window, casting a faint golden glow on the floor.

"Ah Lan!" Hua Yingyue approached immediately, "How do you feel? Come, drink some water first."

Ye Wanlan took the cup and drained the mild saline solution within it: "Where’s Auntie?"

"I’m here." Xiang Mingyu parted the tent curtains and walked in, gazing at the girl’s unfamiliar face with a familiar expression, "Ah Lan, your auntie..."

She just began to speak when she choked up, unable to continue her sentence.

On the day Princess Yongning, Xiang Lan, passed away, it snowed in sunny weather, and the entire Daning Dynasty was enveloped in a profound sorrow.

There is nothing sadder in this world than an elder burying a younger.

And Emperor Ning Zhaozong was deeply impacted by this incident, and in just a few years, he followed suite.

At that time, she was also devastated, but once Emperor Ning Zhaozong was gone, only she was left. She had to gather her spirits to assist Xiang Chen in ascending the throne, continuing the glory of the Ning Dynasty.

Xiang Mingyu never thought she would see her niece again.

She had watched Xiang Lan grow up, from her frail childhood when she first arrived at the palace, to becoming a prominent Vice King, and had witnessed all her hardships.

"Auntie." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I’m here, I’ve always been here."

"Auntie worried you too." Xiang Mingyu wiped away her tears, "You’ve slept for two days, I’ve caught up with the current events through Xiao Yue, I didn’t expect that..."

After three hundred years, despite the changes, the Shenzhou Land Continent still shone brightly like a dazzling star.

Thus, they were truly worth it back then.

Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment: "So aunt also knew about Emperor Yongshun and Princess Yongle..."

"Little Chen and Little Ke..." Xiang Mingyu’s body shook, tears uncontrollably falling down, "They... they were really too foolish!"

The reason she chose to go into battle was to buy enough time for Emperor Yongshun Xiang Chen and Princess Yongle Xiang Ke to safely leave Fengyuan City.

The Xiang Imperial Family simply cannot be extinguished like this.

The physical pain brought about by being torn apart by five horses pales in comparison to the heartbreaking pain she feels knowing what happened after her death.

Xiang Chen slit his throat, Xiang Ke self-immolated.

How tragic it was!

"Aunt." Ye Wanlan said softly, "Prince Brother did not leave, Uncle Wang did not leave, Yingyue did not leave, you did not leave, how could Emperor Yongshun and Princess Yongle leave?"

In such a situation, the Xiang Imperial Family could have completely evacuated Shenzhou to preserve their bloodline.

But they were not merely royalty; they were the first solid line of defense protecting the Shenzhou Land Continent.

The second glory of the Ning Dynasty originated from Ning Zhaozong moving the capital to Fengyuan, guarding the national gate with the body of an Emperor.

And the fall of the Ning Dynasty also ended with Emperor Yongshun’s suicide, from then on the kingdom fell, no more of the Xiang Imperial Family.

Xiang Mingyu choked up: "Yes, they couldn’t leave..."

How could she not know, though Emperor Yongshun Xiang Chen and Princess Yongle Xiang Ke were young, the blood of the Xiang Imperial Family flowed in their veins after all.

But as an elder, she really... truly felt heartache.

"Ah Lan." When Xiang Mingyu looked up again, her eyes were as sharp as ever, "Have you found out, what exactly were those enemies’ origins? I’m not afraid of dying, but I really can’t rest in peace!"

As a younger sister from the same mother as Ning Zhaozong, Princess Jingan seldom faced situations far beyond her control.

But that day, she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Yes, there are clues." Ye Wanlan assured, "Seventy percent sure, they are not people from our world."

Xiang Mingyu frowned: "People from beyond our world?"

As early as in the Shun Dynasty, people knew that if one could cultivate to a certain level in martial arts and art and method, it was possible to break through heaven and earth and reach a new place.

Such people were called "Immortals," "People from beyond our world."

Tracing back to Ancient Times, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors creating the world had become legends, it was uncertain if they truly existed.

But history also records that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had reached another level; they didn’t die, they just left this world.

And from today’s scientific perspective, they would be lifeforms from other planets.

In the vast universe, immensely vast, there naturally wouldn’t only be life on Earth alone.

"Yes." Ye Wanlan’s eyes were ice cold, "That’s why they said, they are a higher civilization, relying on more advanced technology, they defeated Prince Brother."

It was a dimensionality reduction attack.

Xiang Mingyu was silent for a long time, fists clenched tightly: "What exactly is their purpose?"

However, no one knows.

Ye Wanlan paused: "Aunt, the teacher said, they will make a comeback."

"!!!"

Xiang Mingyu suddenly stood up: "Words from the Imperial Tutor?"

"Yes." Ye Wanlan recounted her encounter with Han Yunsheng, "So, I have started preparing from now."

She even looked forward, with great anticipation, for these people to come again.

The national and family hatred from three hundred years ago, she would personally avenge!
