Granny Wu comforted her, "Sheng'er, don't worry. Once we find a suitable host for the transfer, I'll do it for you. Your face will be cured."
"Thank you, Master. I'm not worried. It's just a face. I'm just not used to being so frighteningly ugly," Bai Sheng smiled, then slowly her smile faded, and she said in a deep voice, "Master, I... I remember everything now. I am Huang Xue Sheng, the princess of the Qing Huang Kingdom."
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Granny Wu's expression turned excited, "Sheng'er, you... you really remember everything?"
"Yes, I remember everything that happened before," Bai Sheng's face showed deep sadness. Her father, mother, and four older brothers, so many uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters, all poisoned on the same day.
And her people, enslaved and ravaged by the iron hooves of Bei Qiang and Da Xia for over a decade!
The hatred for her country and her family, she was determined to avenge!
Those who, for their own greedy desires, wantonly violated others, be they individuals or nations, all deserved to die!
"That's wonderful! Heavens above, today is the day our Qing Huang Kingdom will strike back!" Granny Wu bowed respectfully towards the sky.
Seeing Bai Sheng's face full of sorrow and her eyes brimming with killing intent, Prince Yu cautiously asked, "You... you're still the same little dark-faced girl, right?" He was truly afraid that Bai Sheng would suddenly become a stranger.
"Of course I am!" Bai Sheng snapped back to reality, breaking into a smile. "I just remembered things from the past. I am still me, I haven't changed."
Zuo Ye took her hand, his voice tender, "Even if you changed, I would still love you as before. No matter what version of you, you are you."
Bai Sheng's heart warmed. Through the thin veil, she shared a lingering gaze with Lu Ye.
Prince Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His cousin, when did he always find opportunities to express his love? His skin was truly thick.
Prince Yu suddenly realized where he had lost. Besides meeting Little Dark Face later than his cousin, he was also lacking in thickness of skin. He cared too much about his reputation and could not say such overly sweet words in front of everyone.
Alas, forget it. In the past, Zuo Ye had nothing to do with him, and he could still fight for her. Now, he was his own dear cousin, so he would fulfill their wishes.
He, Bai Li Jing Yu, couldn't get the woman he loved, so he would get many women he didn't love.
Once Qing Huang was stable, he would marry a bevy of women and indulge in nightly pleasures, becoming a carefree young master.
Mei Qing asked Granny Wu, "Mother, Sheng'er didn't faint from the pain and thus recover her memory, did she?"
Granny Wu nodded, "That should be the case. When people are on the verge of life and death, it is easiest to repair the soul, but also easier to lose it. It all depends on the person's willpower."
Bai Sheng understood. So, the dream she had was actually repairing her soul. Now, she should be a person with a complete soul and spirit.
Bai Sheng told everyone many things she remembered, especially that Princess Hao, the mother of Huang Lian Sheng, poisoned the royal family and that Huang Lian Sheng had framed her many times.
Granny Wu sighed deeply, "I never imagined that Princess Hao's consort would be a spy for Bei Qiang. Princess Hao really hid herself too deeply. Even your mother considered her a good sister. In the royal family, besides your mother, she was the most popular. This person is truly deeply calculating!"
"I can only say she's good at pretending, just like her black-hearted daughter!" Prince Yu mocked. "Hey, Little Dark Face, what was the name of that black-hearted girl who harmed you repeatedly?"
"Lian Sheng, Huang Lian Sheng," Bai Sheng replied. The royal generation they belonged to was the "Sheng" generation.
"Is she still alive? If I, Young Master Baili, meet her one day, I'll make sure she dies!" Prince Yu said through gritted teeth.
Lu Ye said coldly, "That woman should still be alive. With the Bei Qiang token given by Princess Hao back then, Bei Qiang and Da Xia would not kill her."
Granny Wu's brow furrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "Huang Lian Sheng is indeed still alive, and she is currently the Saintess of Qing Huang. If Sheng'er hadn't appeared, the throne of Empress would have been hers in the future."
"What? That bitch is still alive? And she wants to snatch Little Dark Face's throne? How outrageous!" Prince Yu was so angry he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
Zuo Ye said in a deep voice, "The Qing Guard should not yet know that Princess Hao is a Bei Qiang spy, nor that Huang Lian Sheng is still alive because of the Bei Qiang token."
"Let's all spare her life for now, because she will be the one I transfer to!" Bai Sheng clenched her fists, already planning how to deal with this venomous cousin.
"Yes, yes! That's the best! Let her live a life worse than death!" Prince Yu was overjoyed.
Granny Wu's face also showed a fierce expression, "Just transferring is too lenient for her. How dare she plot against the future Empress of Qing Huang? I think she's tired of living!"
"Master, don't worry. After the transfer, I have a hundred ways to torment her!" Bai Sheng's eyes were as cold as ice.
"Then, let's hurry back to Qing Huang and settle the score with that bitch!" Concubine Mei couldn't wait to teach that wicked woman a lesson.
"We'll set off tomorrow morning, and we should reach the border by afternoon," Bai Sheng said. "Tomorrow at noon, I'll release everyone from the space. So, please Master and Aunt Qing prepare food early. They haven't eaten for more than two days, and they must all be starving like pigs."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange this. I'll make sure every 'pig' is well-fed and watered as soon as they open their eyes," Concubine Mei said confidently. She had already started learning to cook again.
Everyone chuckled.
"Well, thank you, Aunt Qing—Third Aunt," Bai Sheng said teasingly.
"Oh, you little girl," Mei Qing blushed, raising her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, her lips almost flying with joy.
Zuo Ye looked at Granny Wu and asked doubtfully, "Master, Huang Lian Sheng has been in Qing Huang for many years and has a deep foundation, while we are just arriving from Da Xia. Will the Qing Guard trust us? Moreover, Huang Lian Sheng harmed my wife, and only my wife knows about it. We have no evidence, how can we convince the Qing Guard?"
Hearing Zuo Ye's words, everyone nodded. Returning to Qing Huang would indeed involve many challenges.
Granny Wu looked at everyone with firm eyes, "Over the years, I have been in contact with several leaders of the Qing Guard. Moreover, I am the State Preceptor, and most of them will choose to trust us.
As for Huang Lian Sheng harming Sheng'er, Sheng'er herself is the evidence! She is the chosen Empress to revive Qing Huang. What she says is an imperial decree. In addition, there is that Bei Qiang token. Huang Lian Sheng will definitely not discard it; it is her fallback."
"Fortunately, Little Ye thought of these things, so we can be mentally prepared and avoid that Huang Lian Sheng taking advantage of the situation and deliberately making things difficult for us," Concubine Mei said.
"Everyone need not worry. No matter what people there think, I, Huang Xue Sheng, am the princess of the Qing Huang Kingdom. It is only right and proper for me to return to my own land with my family! Even if we don't rely on the Qing Guard, we can forge our own path!" Bai Sheng declared resolutely.
Granny Wu looked at Bai Sheng, her eyes filled with relief, "Sheng'er, you have truly returned."
"Yes, Master, I... I am back," Bai Sheng said with a solemn expression.
