Chapter 116 Regret flooded my heart like a tide
Mu Yao's eyes full of contempt were like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly piercing into Ling Ze's heart.
He felt his self-esteem was greatly insulted, and a nameless anger suddenly surged in his heart. But at the same time, it was precisely because of Mu Yao's words that Ling Ze became more determined to successfully develop this technology so that those who looked down on him would be shocked.
Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. Faced with a series of irresistible favorable conditions offered by the United States, Mu Yao ultimately failed to hold on to her bottom line. She completely disregarded Ling Ze's feelings and presumptuously agreed to sell the research method to the United States.
That day, Mu Yao rushed to the laboratory, hoping to get the development method from Ling Ze. At this time, Ling Ze was concentrating on the final key experiment, and victory was in sight.
At this moment, Mu Yao interrupted him rudely and asked for the development method.
Ling Ze was instantly furious, and the anger that had been pent up for a long time erupted like a volcano.
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Mu Yao hard. Mu Yao staggered and almost fell to the ground, but she quickly reacted and pounced on Ling Ze like a mad lioness. The two of them immediately wrestled together.
In the fierce fight, no one noticed the experimental results placed aside. With a loud "bang", the experimental results were knocked to the ground, followed by a series of deafening explosions.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire laboratory was engulfed in a sea of fire...
Ling Ze's eyes widened, bloodshot, as he stared at the unreasonable, arrogant and domineering woman in front of him.
In the last moments of his life, endless regret surged into his heart like a tide, instantly submerging his entire body.
If there is an afterlife, if time could go back, he swears to cherish Ye Chuxue and never let her suffer any harm or grievance.
At this moment, Ling Ze watched helplessly as his body was blown to pieces in the violent explosion, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
In this horrifying scene, he suddenly heard a faint but clear voice ringing in his ears: "Ye Chuxue is in Yunxi Country..." It seemed as if God had mercy on him and gave him a glimmer of hope.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Ze felt as if his soul was being sucked into a bottomless black hole by a powerful and mysterious force.
It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. A strong feeling of dizziness came over him, making him unable to think, and he eventually lost consciousness and passed out.
After an unknown amount of time, when Ling Ze opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world - Yunxi Country. Moreover, he was inexplicably possessed by a man named Yun Muze.
From that moment on, Ling Ze made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he would find Ye Chuxue's whereabouts in this Yunxi Kingdom.
He was frantically looking for information everywhere, not missing any clues.
In this way, day after day, year after year, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three full springs and autumns had passed.
During his long search, Ling Ze had once set his sights on Ye Chuxue, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, when he learned that Ye Chuxue had been banished to live in a separate courtyard because she had offended Yun Muheng, he immediately gave up the idea.
Because deep down in his heart, the real Ye Chuxue would never be so cowardly and incompetent, and would never be easily bullied and manipulated by others. Therefore, he firmly believed that this Ye Chuxue was not the same Ye Chuxue, and continued on the difficult journey of searching for her.
However, despite his tireless efforts and searching almost the entire Yunxi Kingdom, he still could not find any trace of Ye Chuxue.
Just when he was feeling disheartened and on the verge of giving up, a subordinate came rushing in to report that Princess Yun Xin had actually gone to the palace! Furthermore, her purpose in going there was to petition the Emperor to dissolve her marriage to Yun Muheng.
Upon hearing this news, the already lonely heart seemed to be injected with a powerful force, and the blazing fire of hope was instantly rekindled.
After all, in such an era, very few women would have such great courage to take the initiative to propose a divorce, let alone give up the extremely noble position of princess.
So, he could no longer suppress his inner anxiety and immediately rushed towards the palace without stopping.
When he finally saw the person he had been thinking about, Ye Chuxue, he was shocked to find that the person before him looked very different from the person in his deep memory. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loss.
However, when he heard with his own ears that Ye Chuxue firmly expressed her desire to divorce Yun Muheng, the loss he felt was quickly replaced by a strong longing for Ye Chuxue.
In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer and resolutely revealed his desire to marry Ye Chuxue in front of the emperor, but was ruthlessly rejected.
The next time he met Ye Chuxue was in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. At that time, Ye Chuxue's skillful poison skills and her unruly and independent character once again deeply touched his heart, making him feel restless again.
However, just as he was about to seek further confirmation, a subordinate came hurriedly to report that a woman with very strange behavior and speech was found in the border area.
Upon hearing this news, he did not hesitate at all and immediately led the group to the border without stopping. Along the way, he was fully expecting to find some key clues or important information from this woman.
After several days of traveling, they finally arrived at the border, but when he saw the so-called strange woman, he was greatly disappointed.
After careful observation and questioning, he found that the woman had nothing to do with the person he was looking for. In desperation, he had to embark on his journey home with a heart full of disappointment.
Just as he was returning to the capital in an extremely depressed mood, he passed by the foot of the mountain where Ye Xiaotuan and Ye Xiaoyuan had been kidnapped.
Suddenly, a faint smell reached his nose. Although it was very faint, it was all too familiar to the experienced man—the smell of residual explosives! In an instant, his heart trembled violently, and a strong premonition surged in his heart.
So, without hesitation, he dismounted and quickly walked up the mountain. As he went deeper into the mountain, the traces of explosives became more and more obvious.
Looking at the shocking traces in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. He thought to himself: It must be Xue'er. There is absolutely no one else in this dynasty who can make explosives except her!
In order to find out the truth of the matter, he immediately ordered his subordinates to conduct a detailed investigation and demanded that all relevant circumstances be thoroughly investigated.
Soon after, his subordinates brought back a series of shocking findings.
After hearing his subordinates' reports, Yun Muze, who had been feeling down, suddenly had his eyes light up, his face lit with uncontrollable joy. He stood up and urgently ordered, "Quick, prepare the carriage! I must go to the Yunxin Palace immediately to personally visit Princess Yunxin!"
