Chapter 413 United in Heart and Inseparable

It turned out that Lin Suying had prepared the poison long ago. After taking it, she did not experience any particularly painful reaction. Her appearance remained as beautiful as ever. She lay quietly next to the Emperor Emeritus, with a strand of their hair intertwined.

We became husband and wife, bound by our vows, and will never be apart.

When Ye Wan saw it, she didn't know what to feel.

Next, under the leadership of Lin Anyuan, the entire Xia Dynasty observed mourning for the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager.

...

...

At the imperial palace, Prince Ning was about to have his meal.

Upon hearing the news of Murong Jingyi's death, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

He killed a chicken today; it was compensation from Ye Wan last time. It looked quite plump, so he killed one today.

I heard that this kind of chicken is best stir-fried, as it's too fatty for soup and will have a layer of yellow oil floating on top.

He's getting old now and can't eat too much oily food, or he'll die young.

Before I could even react, I heard that Lin Suying had gone along too.

He took poison and went with them; the two were buried in the same coffin.

Looking at the chicken in the bowl, Prince Ning was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but grit his teeth and start cursing.

"That shameless guy actually married a good wife. He really got lucky. Even though he's dead, his wife is still able to be buried with him."

The thought that after he became the Prince of Ning and started farming here, none of his women would stay by his side made him even more furious.

"Murong Jingyi, you dog! Why did you have to die so young? We worked so hard to build this empire, why didn't you stay on the throne for a few more years? You didn't even live as long as me! What were you after? You should have just let me stay on the throne. You could have just stayed and been a prince!"

"You'd be better off dead, but you still haven't paid me back for eating my chicken! You should pay me back for my chicken before you die!"

"You're dead, and I, as your older brother, have to keep vigil for you. It's such a waste that I can't even eat this chicken. You're really shrewd!"

"I've never seen anyone like you. You've been cunning since you were a child. Do you want to go to the underworld and badmouth your ancestors as soon as possible... Waaah..."

Prince Ning started cursing and then burst into tears.

I don't know if he's crying over his chicken or something else.

"Um... Eunuch Jixiang, can we still go in to see Father?"

Two slightly dark-skinned men outside the door asked for good fortune.

They were all sons of Prince Ning.

Their fathers all came here to farm, so the princes naturally followed suit and farmed diligently. They got quite tanned from the wind and sun, and the once noble princes now looked no different from ordinary farmers.

The two men came today to ask whether they should observe mourning for the retired emperor.

Jixiang said, "Do as you please. I have conveyed the Emperor's wishes. From now on, you gentlemen will be free to choose whether to farm, trade, or become officials. It will depend on your abilities."

The two were overjoyed and thanked Lin Anyuan profusely.

You should know that they had no choice but to go farming before; Emperor Jing made them farm during his reign.

Unexpectedly, Lin Anyuan was willing to give them a chance to take the imperial examination and enter officialdom; this was extremely important.

Jixiang left, and the two sons of Prince Ning stood at the door calling out.

"Father, your sons have come to see you."

Although Prince Ning's life was not so good and he was not as pampered as before, he still held the title of prince, and his sons still called him father.

Prince Ning stopped crying, and a weak voice came from inside the house, "You can all leave now. Why are you coming to see this old man? I only killed one chicken, and it's not enough for you to share."

The two sons of Prince Ning: ...

After returning, Jixiang told Ye Wan about what had happened with Prince Ning.

Lin Anyuan was simply too busy to attend to it.

Ye Wan felt that the two brothers were somewhat funny.

As royal brothers, being able to sit down and eat a chicken peacefully at the end is already considered a good ending, although the process may not have been so peaceful.

As for Prince Ning, things are still the same as before, and no one is watching him observe mourning. However, after eating that chicken, Prince Ning has not eaten any meat for the time being.

After the funerals of the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager were completed, Lin Anyuan, who had been perfectly healthy, suddenly fell ill.

He suddenly fainted during court, which terrified all the officials.

Fortunately, after examining the patient, the imperial physician concluded that it was simply due to overwork and advised the patient to rest.

Ye Wan simply stopped attending court and stayed with Lin Anyuan, leaving Crown Prince Murong Yuanzhou to oversee the country.

Lin Anyuan didn't wake up for a whole day and night.

Ye Wanxin started to panic.

After finally waking up, Lin Anyuan looked at Ye Wan who was guarding his bedside and suddenly smiled, "Wanwan, I had a very long dream. I was able to see you in a very magical place."

Ye Wan was taken aback.

Could Lin Anyuan have dreamt of her from his past life?

"What did you see me doing there?"

Lin Anyuan looked at the roof and said, "I saw so many things, it's unbelievable. You really are a fairy descended from heaven. This is all I remember. I can't remember the others. Let me think about it and tell you."

"If you can't remember, then don't think about it. You've been asleep for a whole day and night. If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to prick you with a needle." Ye Wan helped the person up.

"Here, have some hot porridge."

"Father, you're finally awake!"

Lin Mingqian ran in from outside.

"You're awake. You just took a nap. Did you secretly cry?" Lin Anyuan pinched his son's cheek.

"I didn't, Dad. I'll get you a mirror so you can look at yourself." Lin Mingqian said, looking for a mirror.

"What does this brat mean?" Lin Anyuan raised an eyebrow.

"It doesn't mean anything, I just think you're good-looking. Come and have a sip of porridge." Ye Wan fed Lin Anyuan the porridge.

Lin Anyuan had just woken up when he subconsciously listened to Ye Wan's words, "This is the first time I've been sick in all these years, wait, what did the doctor say I had?"

"You're tired." Ye Wan fed him porridge.

Lin Anyuan grunted, "It seems I need to rest more in the future. Let Azhou go to court for now."
