The Fallen Consort

Before she could even see what happened afterwards. Meiling cut off the images.

"I wasn't supposed to come out, until you unlocked the Fourth Seal inside you. Unfortunately, I had to. I didn't expected for Qianru to show up early. So I had to let you see tha dangers that lies ahead and who that woman is. Although King Jin thinks that he killed her, it wasn't the real her. It was merely a puppet.

I believe they will act soon, so I need you to get stronger as fast as you could. Or else, they will come again and kill us. This time, Muxin , Minzhe and the rest of the people you cared about will die. Only you save them.

When you unlocked your Fourth Seal, I promise to show you what happened to our 2nd life. How we died, how Minzhe survived and how Muxin split himself into two.

I hated King Jin while Yang Hualing loved him. But you, This is third life. Make your own decision based on how you feel for him.

He may have done it in his weird and hateful ways, but I believe it was because he cared for us. He wanted to protect us from that Evil King on the world we all came from.

I won't advised on what you should do. But know that Muxin will always be there for you."

Meiling cut off their connection and allowed Yi Ling to return to reality.

"Now, everything will be up to you." She murmured.

Yi Ling woke up from her bath. It was now freezing cold. Although it felt like she had been asleep for a very long time, it wasn't the fact. It had only been 2 hours.

She slowly got up and dressed. She called Qianru to clean up and she headed for the bed to rest.

Her head was hurting from the information that she just received. The more she learned about her past, the more she could feel the pain inside her head.

Her heart was still pounding from all this revelations. It hurts and somewhat longing for that warmth. She could feel Meiling's hatred and Hualing's love for him. She was extremely confused yet sad.

Yi Ling wanted to ran away from all of it, but she knew she couldn't. She needed Muxin's help, only he could help her unlocked the rest of the seals.

After how many months had past, the pain inside her heart was excruciating. Making her unable to sleep right. Right now, She wanted to return to Muxin's arms. Like how they spent their lives when she was Yang Hualing.

As she drown her sorrow with her silent sobs, Minzhe came in. Qianru could felt the sudden change with her Master's emotions. So she called Minzhe as soon as he arrived, to comfort his mother.

"Mom?" Minzhe came in, back to his 5 year old form.

She remembered how she whispered silly stories to her unborn child inside her stomach and how she usually ????r??ss her tummy as she sang for him.

Yi Ling opened her arms towards Minzhe. "My baby, come to mommy." She begged.

Somehow, It touched Minzhe's heart. He ran towards her, hoping it could lessen her burdens and heartaches.

"I'm sorry for not recognizing you the first time baby. Mommy is very sorry." Yi Ling hugged her son as tight as she could. All Yang Hualing's feelings came forward for her unborn baby.

"Mommy, do you really remember me now?" Minzhe asked.

Yi Ling nodded. "Sorry it took so long. I'm sorry." She burried her face on his hair.

"Mommy, it's alright. I understand. Please don't cry anymore. Minzhe will stay with you forever mommy." Minzhe was tearing up as well. His mother finally remembered her. He finally had a mother. This time round, he knew that his mother loved him genuinely.

"Let's go back." She whispered.

"Back?" Minzhe blinked hard, hardly understanding what she meant.

"Let's go back to daddy. I bet he is worried about us." Yi Ling smiled slightly.

"Mom?" Minzhe's brows furrowed. Didn't she hated his father?

"It's alright. I miss your daddy anyways." She ruffled his hair and kissed his cheeks.

Inside the Blue Palace Ring,

Muxin had been sitting at the hill, beside the Eternal Oak. Some of his white hair was being blown away by the gentle breeze. He felt resigned to his faith.

He misses his wife and his son. He longed for those times they were together. No matter what body she took, it was the same Ling'er in his heart. The only woman who he had ever loved.
