The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1396 The Night King Leaves the Capital, Reshuffling the World Order

In the quiet, spacious courtyard, a woman in a dark blue dress stood beneath a verdant bamboo grove.

The slender woman slowly turned around, her clear eyes looking over.

Ling Xingmu was startled; Ji Ling had arrived!

Ji Ling stepped forward and asked first, "Ling Xingmu, will you come back in the future?"

Ling Xingmu said firmly, "Of course I will come back. I'm not a child anymore. When I get back, I will try to get the opportunity to freely enter and leave the Northern Border. I can come to Zhongyue whenever I want, and go wherever I want."

Ji Ling nodded and instructed, "Take good care of yourself."

Ling Xingmu said softly, "Take care of yourself too."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we would have to part ways so soon after recognizing each other. But you are a member of the Ling family, and your responsibilities are naturally different from others." There is a risk of unrest in the Northern Border, and Xing Mu certainly cannot stay in the capital for no reason. Xing Mu will definitely have a lot to face when he returns.

Is there any future for her and Xingmu? One is the youngest princess of Zhongyue, the other the youngest son of the Northern Border Commander…

"I will become stronger." When he can take charge of everything. When he can come back.

Ji Ling smiled sweetly: "I believe you, young Mu!"

“Xiao Shi,” Ling Xingmu’s handsome and noble face instantly turned red, “I won’t let you down.”

Wait, wait for him to come back…

Ling Xingmu took out an antique lotus-colored jade pendant from his pocket. "This is a family heirloom of our Ling family. Each of us three brothers has one. I'll give you mine."

Ji Ling's eyes flickered, and after a long while, she carefully accepted the jade pendant. She then reached into her sleeve and took out an exquisite and elegant rose-patterned yellow jade waist pendant.

"Here, this is a gift for you! Hang it up and decorate it! I just made it casually!"

"This is the best gift I've ever received." Ling Xingmu accepted it with both hands, smiling adorably, but his tone was serious and solemn: "I like it very much, I'm very happy."

"Hey, and this too, sweet plums, I made them for you." Ji Ling tossed out a small wooden box and said, "Although I vaguely remember that you only ate plums when you disliked the bitterness of the medicine, I think you should eat something on your way back to the Northern Border. Something sweet will make you happy, so you don't have to go back to the Northern Border crying again."

At that moment, Ling Xingmu almost cried. He looked up at the sky, blinked rapidly, and then quickly took the beautifully packaged plums.

"Hey, do you want a hug?" Ji Ling asked somewhat shyly.

"No."

"Ling Xingmu! Why!"

“Because it should be me, the man, who takes the initiative to say this.” After Ling Xingmu finished speaking, he stepped forward and gently embraced Ji Ling, as if he were holding some fragile porcelain.

I hope we can meet again soon after this parting...

On this day, many people left the capital. The entire Ling family of the Northern Boundary departed. Afterwards, Valley Master Du sent some medical books from the valley to the Night King's Mansion, and asked someone to leave a message of thanks to the Night King and his wife, as well as his disciple Du Ziheng.

Valley Master Du had been out of the valley for quite some time, so it was no longer appropriate for him to linger. This journey out of the valley had been arduous, filled with many unexpected events, but thankfully, the final outcome was positive.

They uncovered the truth behind the theft in Duti Valley years ago, cleared Du Ziheng and the Fourth Elder's names, and removed the troublemakers, the Third Elder and Du Gui'er, from the valley.

More importantly, they also got to see the famous Regent Prince and Regent Princess of Zhongyue!

He learned many novel and advanced medical concepts and knowledge from that divine healer, and was also fortunate enough to receive a batch of top-notch medicines and equipment from her.

When Master Du thought of Yun Mujiu, he even had a small black and gold box sent to her.

At the Night King's Mansion, Yun Mujiu stared at the box in her hand. Upon opening it, she found a dazzling token inside, with the three elegant characters "Dudi Valley" engraved on it.

With just one glance, she knew this was no ordinary item.

“I declined the invitation to become the heir of Duti Valley, but now the Valley Master Du has sent me a token. I suppose he is also somewhat regretful and unwilling to accept me as his disciple.”

“It’s a pity Du Ziheng isn’t here, otherwise we could ask him. Perhaps he knows the significance of this token,” Fusang said.
