We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 441 Ru Xue has always been Ru Xue, and has never changed.

"Xiao Mo, this is for you."

"From now on, when you see this little clay figure, it means you've seen me."

"Just tell this clay figure you want to see me, and I'll come to see you!"

On the streets of the imperial city, a little girl stood in front of a little boy, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"General, come back quickly!"

"Snow-Treading Dragon Riders! Follow me closely, stay close to the general!"

"We swear to protect the general to the death!"

"We will die with the general!"

On that vast plain littered with corpses, a man wielding a silver-white spear and wearing a Shura mask had already broken through a large formation and killed the King of Qi.

Just when the Qin army thought the great battle was about to end.

Unexpectedly, the enemy used the blood and spirits of the battlefield and millions of heroic souls as sacrifices to set up another great formation, trapping the leading general inside, and doing everything in their power to kill that man.

But the man remained undaunted.

"Since we can't escape this formation, then we'll break it ourselves!"

In the end, the man broke the formation, but he also died within it.

Even as he was dying, the man risked his life to protect the little clay figure in his arms.

On the bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

When Xiao Mo calmed himself down and looked around, he realized that it was just a dream, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting out of bed, Xiao Mo looked at the mask and the little clay figure on the table.

He tried to recall the dream he had just had.

But the dream I just had was like a stone thrown into water; when the ripples subsided, the stone disappeared too.

No matter how hard Xiao Mo tried to recall, he couldn't remember anything. All he could remember was the lingering fear of death and the guilt he felt towards a woman.

"It really is true that what you see during the day, you dream about at night."

Xiao Mo shook his head, no longer wanting to think about the now blurry dream.

After taking a box, Xiao Mo put the clay figurine and mask inside and left the palace.

The sun was about to set, and the blood-red sunrise, like a fairy splashing ink, dyed the entire palace building red. Xiao Mo could only see a corner of the setting sun in the distance.

This morning, Xiao Mo got up early and took two concubines to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and then went to Qin Siyao's palace.

After Xiao Mo returned to the palace and took a nap, he ended up sleeping until now.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner. Tonight, may I ask which concubine's palace Your Majesty would like to dine in?"

Si Li walked to Xiao Mo's side and said softly.

"Having dinner" is just a euphemism.

In fact, the place where you finish your meal is the place where you spend the night.

"Let's go to Ningxue Palace."

Xiao Mo thought for a moment and then strode out of the palace.

Xiao Mo felt that if the two concubines he married were from ordinary families, he would definitely go to Hanjiu Palace tonight to make amends to Mu Jiu.

However, his two concubines were no ordinary people, and he himself slept in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night.

As for compensation, that's out of the question.

In comparison, I would rather go to Miss Yan's place and hear what she has to say about last night.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Less than half an incense stick's time later, Si Li's voice entered Ningxue Palace.

Upon hearing that His Majesty had arrived, the palace maids of Ningxue Palace quickly stood on both sides of the gate and bowed in greeting.

At the front of Ningxue Palace, Bai Ruxue walked confidently towards Xiao Mo and bowed slightly before him, saying, "This humble servant respectfully welcomes Your Majesty."

"I wish to dine with my beloved consort tonight. Is that alright?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile as he helped Bai Ruxue up.

"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I am overjoyed to be able to dine with Your Majesty, how could there be any problem?" Bai Ruxue smiled and then said to Chunyan.

"Go to the imperial kitchen and have someone bring over dinner."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chunyan quickly bowed and walked out of the palace with light and cheerful steps.

In Chunyan's view, the fact that His Majesty spent two consecutive nights in Ningxue Palace meant that in His Majesty's heart, her young lady was far more important than that Princess Qin.
"Your Majesty, the night is cold and the wind is chilly. Please come inside." Bai Ruxue smiled gently.

"Ah."

Xiao Mo nodded and followed Bai Ruxue into the room.

Bai Ruxue's room was still decorated like the wedding room from last night.

According to the customs of the Zhou state, this arrangement would be removed after half a month.

"Your Majesty, please have a seat."

Bai Ruxue led Xiao Mo to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then sat down next to him, looking at him gently.

"There are some things that Fairy Jiang and Sister Mujiu must have already told His Majesty."

Bai Ruxue smiled and spoke first.

"Your Majesty also knows that there are many doubts in your heart."

But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not do anything to harm you, nor will I do anything to betray the Zhou Kingdom. And what I desire is something Your Majesty has no need for.

As she spoke, Bai Ruxue gave Xiao Mo a deep look:
"Once I have obtained what I want, I will naturally leave with it. Before that, if Your Majesty wishes to regain power, I can also assist Your Majesty."

"That won't be necessary. I can handle matters of the court myself, so there's no need to trouble Miss Yan."

Xiao Mo shook his head and politely declined.

In Xiao Mo's view, he possesses the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes, and experiencing life will bring him rewards.

Moreover, after several rounds of marrow cleansing and body tempering, his spiritual roots and physique were quite strong.

My spiritual practice is going smoothly so far.

Not to mention, there were also many loyal ministers in the imperial court who were devoted to the Xiao family.

I am not far from cleaning up the court and restoring order to the government.

However, Yan Ruxue's identity is currently unknown. If we ask her for help, it could cause even more trouble if she makes demands.

Bai Ruxue didn't say anything after hearing Xiao Mo's refusal; she just smiled gently, indicating her agreement.

Before long, dinner was brought in, and Bai Ruxue served Xiao Mo his meal.

After dinner, Bai Ruxue once again helped Xiao Mo wash up.

The two treated each other with the same respect and courtesy as a real married couple.

"Your Majesty, please stay here with me tonight."

Bai Ruxue suggested.

"There are many of the Empress Dowager's spies in my Ningxue Palace. If Your Majesty leaves again tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"If the young lady doesn't mind, then I naturally have no objection."

Looking at Yan Ruxue's gentle appearance and recalling all the things that had happened between them, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Is something on your mind, Your Majesty?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"It's not exactly a worry," Xiao Mo sighed softly, "but rather I have a question, and I wonder if you could answer it, young lady?"

Bai Ruxue nodded gently: "Your Majesty, please speak freely."

"From the first day I met you, to now, which day was the real you?"

Xiao Mo raised his head, looked directly into her eyes, and waited for her answer.

Hearing her beloved's question, the woman paused for a moment, then her eyes curved into crescent moons.

The woman's peach blossom eyes gazed at Xiao Mo, the tenderness in them blending with the moonlight and candlelight:

"Ru Xue has always been Ru Xue."

"It has never changed."
