Chapter 3915 4.1515 Obstruction

"By then, I'll go to Yulan Star to refine the pills. That'll save some time too."

"Furthermore, the divine power there will surely be abundant, making it convenient for me to draw upon it for replenishment while refining pills."

Mo Lian gazed at his wife with tender eyes. As she spoke, he listened, nodding repeatedly.

His wife had thought of everything, all to ensure the successful refinement of the Soul Reversion Pill this time.

"Don't worry, even if it doesn't work the first time, we'll definitely succeed if we try a few more times."

"You and your mother will meet very soon."

"Qiao Qiao." Mo Lian reached out and pulled her into his embrace, gently stroking her soft little face. "To walk hand in hand with you in this life is my greatest fortune."

Qiao Mu tilted her small head, reaching up to pinch his cheek. "What silly things are you saying?"

She snuggled against him in his embrace, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Mother will definitely call you 'Little Tangyuan' right away! You must have been a chubby, round, and adorable little rascal when you were young. Just thinking about it is cute!"

Mo Lian: ...

The two returned to the East Palace hand in hand to rest. Before falling asleep, Qiao Mu remembered something and instructed Li Ye to call Chen Shang tomorrow. She had some matters she wanted to clarify.

Cangzhou Land

In the land of Cangzhou, a winding waterway, like a jade belt, flowed gently onward, rushing relentlessly towards the River of Oblivion and never returning...

For several days, the Imperial City had been raining. The fine, misty rain seemed like a light fog, dissipating with the wind the moment it touched one's skin.

Duan Yue held a small brocade box in his hand, walking with a smile towards Consort Duan's residence. He thought to himself that he hadn't seen his mother in a while and would surely have to properly coax her later.

In the corridor, a gentle breeze accompanied by the fine rain brushed past his handsome face.

Footsteps hurried from behind him.

Duan Yue subtly turned his head. His long, flowing purple robe gently trailed across the ground.

Behind him, Little Kezi and Aunt Yuanzhen rushed over, their faces a little pale.

Little Kezi, without thinking, stepped forward and blocked him. "Your Highness, where are you going so early in the morning?"

Duan Yue looked at him suspiciously, his expression calm. "Naturally, I'm going to see Mother."

Aunt Yuanzhen wasn't as flustered as Little Kezi. She took a few steps forward, steadied herself, and bowed. "Your Highness, it is still early. Consort Mother may not be awake yet."

"Furthermore, you've been traveling for days and only returned to the palace late last night. It would be best to return to Wuji Palace to rest for two days before going to inquire... after her well-being." Aunt Yuanzhen's voice became softer and softer, almost daring not to meet the man's sharp gaze.

Duan Yue tilted his head slightly, his suspicious gaze circling between the two of them. "You're trying to stop me so desperately; has something happened?"

He was incredibly intelligent. A mere glance or change in expression from a palace maid or eunuch by his side would immediately catch his attention.

His heart tightened slightly. Duan Yue coldly rebuked, "Get out of the way!"

Little Kezi knelt down, scrambling, and clutched his leg, frantically pleading, "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't go, don't go!"

"Don't go, Your Highness! Please, don't go!" Little Kezi sobbed, clinging to his leg, but Duan Yue determinedly dragged him along.

Aunt Yuanzhen subtly turned her head, secretly wiping the corner of her eye with her sleeve. With red eyes, she bravely stepped forward. "Your Highness, please hear your servant out."

"Even if you go to Consort Mother's sleeping quarters now, you... you won't find her."

Duan Yue suddenly turned his head sharply.
