Chapter 230: Autumn Reckoning

as to find someone to ruin her reputation!Thinking about this, Su Qingying's eyes instantly turned cold, her bright phoenix eyes reflecting a chilling intent. "What Is there something If not, get lost...Gazing at his appearance, as if he had been lost and found again, Su Qingying's eyes suddenly became a mess. "Where is my elder brother"

This man, the one who had been etched in her heart before she lost her memory, unexpectedly became her man after the chaos of amnesia.

“Don’t worry, he just came to see you a moment ago.” He paused, his eyes lingering on her with tenderness and affection, “Before the Emperor passed away, he had already passed the throne to him. Even though he hasn’t yet held the enthronement ceremony, he is now the legitimate emperor of Dongyue, so he’s very busy.”

"Hmm." She gave a light response, then lowered her brows and remained silent.

"Yinger, if you're feeling distressed, just cry it out. There's no need to put on a brave face in front of me. It pains me to see you like this." Jun Liye held her hand tightly, his blood-red eyes flickering with pain.

"I can't cry," Su Qingying said, her face pale as she shook her head slightly. She turned her head away, gazing out the window at the swaying branches outside. After a long silence, she spoke, "Ari, do you want to hear a story"

Jun Liye was taken aback, before he could even answer, Su Qingying started talking to herself—

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was an orphan. She had been noticed and cultivated by the organization since she was young. The little girl worked very hard every day, and finally, her efforts did not go to waste. She soon became the top gold medal agent in their world, and she had never failed a mission since her debut.

Later, the little girl accidentally sneezed while defusing a bomb wire, causing her hand to shake and cut the wrong wire. The bomb exploded instantly, and the girl was too late to dodge. The giant fire snake from the explosion engulfed her.

Jun Liye's heart tightened upon hearing this. He knew that the little girl she spoke of was herself, and that she was recounting her own past to him.

He pursed his lips, saying nothing and not interrupting her. He only tightened his grip on her hand slightly, listening quietly.

But, the little girl didn't die because of that. Her soul actually traveled through time and space, reborn into the belly of a country's queen. From birth, the little girl had memories from her past life, so she was different from ordinary children. Recalling that time, Su Qingying’s pale face couldn't help but overflow with a trace of happiness.

After a moment's pause, she turned her head and looked straight into his eyes. Every word that followed sent shockwaves through him.

With the memories and experiences from her past life, the little girl quickly organized a killer organization in the time and space she was reborn into. On the surface, she was an idiotic and ugly fool princess of a nation, but secretly, she was the infamous Lord Yun Ling, the head of Luyue Palace, renowned throughout the land.

Could it be that she built Falling Moon Palace!

She is Yun Ling!

Jun Li's night blood eyes widened, her expression froze abruptly, staring at her in disbelief.

He hadn't doubted it before, but hadn't she denied it herself How could she possibly be the same person as Yun Ling

With a faint glance at the shock on his face, Su Qingying's voice remained unruffled, uttering the confusion in his heart, "It's a pity that good times don't last. Later, during a practice session, she had an accident and almost went into demonic possession, causing her memory to become chaotic. She sealed off all memories of living here for nearly sixteen years, and lived in a daze for another year. If it weren't for the love poison Lan Xinyao had administered being strong enough to stimulate her brain, she wouldn't have known how long she would remain foolish."

But even if she miraculously recovered her consciousness, she would only remember the moment the bomb exploded. Because of this, the little girl believed for a long time that she was a soul inhabiting another body, not the real Su Qingying of this world.

Hearing this, Jun Liye finally understood. The confusion that had plagued her for so long was finally explained. "So, the reason you coughed up blood is because your father's death order caused a violent shock to your brain, which restored all your memories"

"Mmm." Su Qingying nodded, her heart feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"You come from another world, isn't that the biggest secret you've kept from me" Jun Liye murmured, his warm hand gently stroking her cheek.

She was willing to tell him these things, which meant she had opened her heart to him completely and trusted him with everything.

This little girl, he's truly fallen for her deeply.

"A-Li, you are so clever. Even if I didn't say anything, you should have guessed it yourself."Leaning against his embrace, Su Qingying closed her eyes with affection.

Jun Liye rubbed her neck without responding.

"So, will you one day suddenly disappear from my world and return to that world And forget me forever" As if thinking of something, Jun Liye immediately nervously pulled her slightly away from his embrace.

If she suddenly disappeared from her own world, he couldn't imagine what he would become! Perhaps he would go crazy!

“Poof, what are you saying You think time travel is like picking up cabbage from the market If you want to travel through time, it's not just a matter of wanting to! It depends on probability, alright” Pulling at his tightly stretched handsome face, Su Qingying’s pale little face couldn’t help but reveal a smile. She chuckled and said, “As for forgetting you… everything about you is deeply imprinted in my soul. How could I forget”

Lightly patting away her mischievous hand, Jun Liye held her shoulders, his face serious as he stared into her eyes, “No, Ying’er, according to you, did you truly ever have affections for Xuan Yuan Che I remember, the story of the foolish princess from Dongyue Country infatuated with Rui Yang from Ximing Country was quite a stir back then. It’s been at least eight years. Ying’er, shouldn’t you give me an explanation”

“......He heard it so clearly Was this the rhythm of settling accounts after autumn”

"Do you still remember this" Su Qingying was speechless from being inexplicably accused by him.

"What else" a certain enchanting and tsundere being snorted, looking like she wouldn't stop until she explained things clearly.

Su Qingying remained silent, supporting her forehead. "It was all intentional. I pretended to be foolish to let everyone know that Su Qingying is a worthless fool, so that princes and sons from various countries would abandon the idea of marrying me. When I was preoccupied with expanding Luyue Palace, where did I have time for such things"

"Really" Jun Li Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, the end of his voice drawn out infinitely, expressing extreme doubt.

“What are you trying to fool me with However, there’s one thing I didn’t expect. After my memory became muddled, I actually fell for Xuanyuan Che and chased after him relentlessly for over a year.” Recalling those days of trailing behind him, she felt an overwhelming urge to bury her face in shame; it was so embarrassing.

"If you hadn't recovered your senses back then, wouldn't you have really married Xuanyuan Che" Jun Liye's gaze instantly became more dangerous as he caught her words, grinding his teeth, a sour smell pervading the air.

"Um, maybe perhaps" Xiaoxin shivered under his gaze, a strange sense of unease rising in her chest.

Upon hearing this, Jun Li's blood-red eyes narrowed, and he tightly held her in his arms. His grip was so strong that it felt as if he wanted to melt her into his very bones. He couldn't control the jealousy and anger welling up inside him and roared: "I won't allow it! You are my woman, I absolutely will not allow you to marry another man!"It was night, with a bright moon and few stars. All things on earth were asleep, everything was silent and peaceful.The capital city of Dongyue Kingdom, at a guest house."I don't want to be an eunuch!...
