Beautiful girl travels through time and space to become a princess

Chapter 160: Spiritual Water

The moment the mysterious figure appeared, Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei nervously clenched the jade pendants and stone slabs in their hands.

The figure gradually became clear, a middle-aged man with a weathered face. He looked at the two of them with deep eyes and slowly said, "The secrets of this jade pendant and stone slab are far beyond your imagination. But now, you must make a choice."

Shen Mo took a step forward and asked, "What choice?"

The middle-aged man said: "Either continue to pursue this dangerous secret, or give up and return to ordinary life."

Lin Yuwei said without hesitation: "We have come this far and will never give up."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "In that case, I will give you a hint. To understand the connection between the jade pendant and the stone slab, we need to find something called 'Spiritual Heart Water', which can unlock the key. But this water is extremely rare, and the road to finding it is full of hardships."

Shen Mo thought for a moment and then said, "Thank you for your advice, but before we continue our search, I think we should go back to the palace first. We have been out for so long and there is no news from the palace. I am afraid something has happened."

Lin Yuwei agreed: "Yes, I don't know what the situation in the palace is now."

So they said goodbye to the middle-aged man and set out on the road back to the palace. Along the way, the two rode as fast as they could, their hearts full of worry.

Finally, they returned to the palace. When the guards at the palace gate saw them, they were surprised.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, you are finally back!" said the guard.

Shen Mo asked anxiously: "Has anything happened in the palace recently?"

The guard quickly replied, "Your Highness, during the days you and the Crown Princess were away, the Queen has been worried, and some ministers in the court have also been discussing it privately."

Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei looked at each other and quickened their pace towards the queen's bedroom.

Seeing the queen, she stood up excitedly and said, "My sons, you are finally back. I was so worried about you."

Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei hurriedly bowed and told the queen about their experiences.

The queen said: "No matter what, I hope you come back safely. But you must also take control of the situation in this palace as soon as possible."

Shen Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

In the following days, Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei dealt with the affairs of the palace while secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of the "Spiritual Water".

However, just as they were busy, bad news came.

"Your Highness, a minister has reported that there have been unusual movements by enemy troops on the border, and they appear to be planning on invading." A eunuch hurried over to report.

Shen Mo frowned: "Call the ministers immediately to discuss countermeasures."

In the court, ministers expressed their opinions and argued endlessly.

"Your Highness, we should strengthen border defenses and send more troops now," said a general.

Another minister objected: "The country is short of troops now. If we rashly increase the number of troops, there may be internal chaos."

Shen Mo thought for a long time and said, "First, send an envoy to the border to find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, recruit new soldiers in the country and strengthen their training."

Just as Shen Mo was worried about the border issues, Lin Yuwei also encountered trouble in the palace.

"Crown Princess, several concubines have been mocking you recently, and seem to be deliberately making things difficult for you." Lin Yuwei's personal maid said.

Lin Yuwei smiled faintly: "Don't pay attention to them, just do your own thing."

But those concubines became even more outrageous and even spoke ill of Lin Yuwei in front of the queen.

The queen called Lin Yuwei to her side and said earnestly: "Yuwei, the affairs of the harem cannot be ignored. You must deal with them carefully."

Lin Yuwei nodded and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law knows."

After some efforts, the situation on the border was temporarily stabilized, and the troubles in the palace were cleverly resolved by Lin Yuwei.

However, there is still no clue about the "Water of the Soul".

One day, Shen Mo was reading ancient books in his study and suddenly found a vague record about "Spiritual Water".

"Yuwei, come here quickly, I seem to have found some clues." Shen Mo shouted excitedly.

Lin Yuwei hurried over and the two of them studied the record together.

According to records, the "Water of the Soul" may be hidden in an ancient temple.

Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei decided to set out again to find the "Spiritual Water" and unlock the secrets of the jade pendant and the stone tablet...
