Chapter 174 Actually I am the same as you
When the emperor saw that Yun Muze and Yun Muheng were both actively requesting to go to the border, he was delighted and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, wonderful! This is a blessing for the country! I am blessed to have such outstanding princes like you. It is indeed a blessing for my country of Muyun.
With princes like you who are dedicated to the country and have lofty ambitions, how can our Muyun Kingdom not prosper? Then let's go together!"
However, at this moment, Yun Muheng's eyes dimmed slightly. He glared fiercely at Yun Muze beside him, secretly angry in his heart: "Humph, this guy is still obsessed with Xue'er! He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that this time he would go to the border to make Yun Muzhe give up.
At this moment, Concubine Lan's gentle voice rang out, "Xue'er, you're going on a long journey this time, and Mother has some heartfelt words to share with you alone. How about you come with me to Kunlan Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue quickly stood up and bowed, responding respectfully, "I, your daughter-in-law, will obey your mother's wishes."
Afterwards, Ye Chuxue followed Concubine Lan to Kunlan Palace.
After entering the palace, Concubine Lan waved her hand to signal the palace maids around her to leave for the time being, and then she walked straight to the bedroom alone.
Ye Chuxue looked at Lan Fei's figure, her heart full of doubts. She really couldn't guess what Lan Fei wanted to tell her, but she could only sit patiently in the chair and wait quietly.
Not long after, Concubine Lan slowly emerged from the inner hall, clutching an exquisite box. Her once delicate face now looked exceptionally solemn. She slowly approached Ye Chuxue, gently placed the box in front of her, and said softly, "Xue'er, please open this box."
Ye Chuxue looked at Lan Fei, who had a serious expression in front of her. Although she was full of doubts, she nodded obediently and reached out to open the mysterious box.
As the lid of the box was opened little by little, an old and mysterious smell came to the face.
When Ye Chuxue finally opened the box completely, a pitch-black pistol emitting a cold light suddenly appeared in front of her.
Ye Chuxue couldn't help but be slightly startled, her beautiful eyes widened, her face full of astonishment.
Because she could tell at a glance that this pistol was definitely not from their era, but a high-tech weapon that could only be seen in modern society. In an instant, countless questions flooded her mind, making her feel dizzy.
Ye Chuxue could no longer suppress her inner shock and surprise. She stood up suddenly, raised her head and looked directly at Lan Fei. Her clear eyes were now staring at her closely, full of inquiry and suspicion.
Could it be that all her previous seemingly absurd speculations were actually true? Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Mother... do you know about the 21st century?"
Hearing Ye Chuxue's question, a barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared on Lan Fei's tense face.
She nodded gently, and replied with her red lips: "I know, Xue'er, everything you guessed is correct. In fact, I am the same as you!"
After saying that, Lan Fei reached out and took Ye Chuxue's hand, motioning her to sit down and talk slowly.
Then, Lan Fei slowly opened her red lips and whispered, "Actually, you and I have the same experience. We are both people who traveled through time from the modern era.
It's just that I traveled through time earlier than you did. Back then, I was a police officer. While carrying out a crucial drug-busting mission, I encountered an accident and died heroically.
However, unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in this strange ancient dynasty, and possessed by a humble palace maid.
After going through countless hardships and dangers, and every step was thrilling, we have finally achieved our current position.
This pistol is a precious item that has accompanied me all the way here. So far, I have never had a chance to use it.
Now you are about to go to the border. The journey is long and full of unknown risks. You must keep this pistol properly. In a critical moment, it may become a life-saving weapon to protect you."
Hearing this, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but look puzzled. She asked anxiously, "Then, mother, how did you know that I also traveled through time?"
Lan Fei narrowed her eyes slightly, as if her thoughts were pulled back to the distant past.
She said slowly, "This matter dates back to when Yun Muheng'er was twelve years old. At that time, he unfortunately met with an accident and disappeared without a trace. The Emperor and I were extremely worried and immediately sent a large number of people to search everywhere. We searched non-stop for three days and three nights, but we still couldn't find his whereabouts..."
Concubine Lan was overwhelmed by anxiety and felt helpless. After much deliberation, she finally decided to go to the world-famous Anguo Temple, hoping to find some spiritual comfort and peace there.
After entering Anguo Temple, Concubine Lan knelt in front of the Buddha with full piety, clasped her hands together, and prayed continuously that Yun Muheng would be safe and that he would be found as soon as possible.
Just as she was praying wholeheartedly, a monk in robes with a kind face slowly walked up to her.
The monk stood tall and straight, his steps steady, each one imbued with a profound Zen meaning. He bowed slightly to Concubine Lan, then spoke in a gentle yet respectful voice, "Amitabha, benefactor, Master Huitong invites you to come forward and meet him."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Lan couldn't help but feel doubtful, but she quickly suppressed it.
She gently stood up, adjusted her skirt, and followed the monk toward the temple's backyard. Along the way, Concubine Lan became increasingly uneasy, wondering why the mysterious Master Huitong had summoned her.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a quiet and peaceful Zen room.
Before they even got close to the door, a strong and powerful voice came from inside the house: "Donor, please come in!"
The sound was as loud as a huge bell, penetrating the thick walls and reaching Lan Fei's ears.
Lan Fei took a deep breath, calmed herself down, reached out and pushed open the slightly rustic wooden door, and stepped into the Zen room.
Before Concubine Lan could speak, Master Huitong slowly stood up and clasped his hands together before Concubine Lan: "This old monk pays his respects to Her Majesty, Concubine Lan."
Master Huitong then continued, "Don't worry, Concubine Lan. The Fifth Prince will surely turn misfortune into good fortune and be safe. He will also meet the benefactor of his life."
"Your Excellency? Master, please explain clearly." Concubine Lan asked doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, I am just like you. We are not from this era, but we belong to this era. Amitabha, Your Majesty, please go back." After saying this, Master Huitong closed his eyes.
