Century Contract: Beloved Medicine Consort, Endless Pampering

Legend has it that when a person dies, a teardrop shed by their beloved, if it falls on them, will transform into a red birthmark. This mark serves as a contract, guiding them through reincarnation...

Chapter 748 A Joke Bigger Than the Sky

Just then, a ball of fire, seemingly moving, slowly appeared on a winding mountain path in the jungle.

As the light drew closer to the two of them, Cheng Liang took a few steps forward to investigate.

In an instant, he opened his eyes wide, both surprised and delighted, and exclaimed, "Your Highness, it really is Physician Yue!"

So he quickly went over and helped the Imperial Physician Yue, who was stumbling down the mountain, using a cane made from a tree branch he had picked up from the ground in one hand and holding a torch in the other, to stand before Xuan Yuanhan.

This time, just going down the mountain alone on this dark and windy night had already exhausted almost all of Doctor Le's strength.

He was panting heavily when he saw the person who had come to him. He immediately knelt down in front of him with a thud, completely astonished.

"Greetings, Your Highness! Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Although Xuanyuan Han was already furious about his reckless behavior, he obviously couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why did you come down the mountain alone? Where is she?"

"She..." Unexpectedly, Imperial Physician Yue was still stammering, wanting to continue to conceal the truth for Yi Shangyun.

Cheng Liang noticed his hesitation and quickly interjected, "Dingxiang has already told you everything!"

"What? Dingxiang, she..." Upon hearing this, Physician Le knew that the truth had finally come out.

Even now, he still finds everything that happened today as unbelievable as a dream.

So, he kowtowed deeply and earnestly before Xuanyuan Han.

He slowly said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I did not intend to hide the matter of the Princess Consort from you. It is simply that what the Princess Consort said was too bizarre and strange. I have never seen or heard of anything like it in my entire life, and for a moment..."

Not seeing the person in the cloud, Xuan Yuanhan was really anxious, so he interrupted him and said angrily, "Your mistake, I will settle the score with you later!"

At this moment, he was only anxious to know Yi Shangyun's whereabouts: "I only want to see her immediately. Where is she? Why did I only see you coming down the mountain?"

After a moment's recollection, Physician Yue said, "Her Majesty said there's a place nearby she'd like to visit again..."

“There’s a place…” Looking around, Xuan Yuanhan seemed to suddenly remember something.

He thought to himself, "The place she mentioned wanting to see one more time, could it be...?"

With this thought in mind, without any hesitation, Xuanyuan Han strode onto another mountain path, his heart trembling slightly: "Yun'er, wait for me..."

Upon seeing this, Imperial Physician Yue hurriedly shouted loudly at his retreating figure, "Your Highness, you mustn't! The Western Hills are extremely unsafe at night, Your Highness, come back quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Liang stopped him, saying, "Imperial Physician Yue, don't try to persuade him. Let him go! His Highness must have many questions he wants to ask her personally!"

After saying goodbye to Physician Yue.

Yi Shangyun moved alone and came to a place not far from the Yi Mansion in the west of the city. There was a lake that meandered among the mountains and was even more tranquil in the night.

It was still that same exquisite octagonal pavilion. She walked over quietly, sat down in the pavilion, and looked out at the mountains and rivers before her.

Finally, his gaze became almost blank as he stared at the warm, twinkling lights in the distance, as if he were thinking about something, or perhaps he wasn't thinking about anything at all.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept by, and she instinctively blinked and raised her hand to tug at her cloak.

Suddenly, I recalled that I woke up in the attic of the Yi Mansion in the west of the city on that rainy night.

From then on, she experienced everything in this space that she still finds quite unbelievable.

From Xiqin to Beilie, from Beilie to Dongning, from Dongning back to Xiqin, and so on until now...

All of this during this period...

My mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

When exactly did she decide to open her heart and accept this man from another time and space?

Suddenly, I remembered that letter from before.

"It has always been Your Highness who has silently given and persevered alone, while I have always been timid and hesitant. Perhaps, as Father said, Yun'er really should try to be a little braver. I know that Your Highness and I will inevitably face countless hardships and thorns. But this time, Yun'er wants to... simply from the bottom of her heart, purely to face them with Your Highness, and never run away from her heart again. I think of you whether I am walking or sitting."

With this thought in mind, she murmured to herself, "Whether I'm walking or sitting, I think of you..."

Now that things have come to this, perhaps I have no choice but to admit it.

"So, in this world, I truly loved him!"

But no matter what she thinks of or who she thinks of, her consciousness will instantly return to normal upon hearing the name "Wei Mingxuan".

From that moment on, she was completely filled by him, forgetting everything else.

My heart is filled with endless longing, sorrow, pain, and despair.

Suddenly, my nose stung, and tears welled up in my eyes without my noticing.

Towards everything in sight, call out, confide, and release the depression in one's heart.

Wei Mingxuan

Where are you?

Can you tell me?

"What exactly happened?"

Why did I have to go through all this?

"I'm so tired!"

"I'm so tired!"

"I really..."

"I really can't hold on much longer..."

"what do I do?"

"what to do?"

He choked up several times while speaking.

In the end, he could only gently wipe away the tears on his face.

Just then, the person she was waiting for arrived as expected and came looking for her.

Realizing that Xuan Yuanhan was gradually approaching her, Yi Shangyun stopped crying, turned her back to him, and asked calmly, "You've come?"

For many days, there have been so many things I wanted to say to her.

But at this moment, when he was truly by her side, with a thousand words to say, Xuan Yuanhan only asked one question: "Why is all this happening?"

"Why?" Yi Shangyun gave a bitter smile and repeated the question, but did not answer.

As for her, how could she not want to know why all of this happened?

And all of this started from this place.

He then looked up at the distance and asked the same question again.

She pointed with one finger to a grove of trees in front of a cliff on the opposite shore of the lake and asked, "Does Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, still remember that place?"

"Your Highness...King of Qin?!"

Hearing that even her way of addressing him had become so distant, Xuan Yuanhan's gaze froze for a moment.

Although I felt extremely sad, I still looked in the direction he was pointing.

He said meaningfully, "That's where we first met, how could I forget?"

“But I wish you had forgotten it all.” Yi Shangyun appeared to be smiling on the surface, but thought to herself.

But she couldn't hold back, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Once she had calmed down a bit, she spoke again: "I remember that day, my father advised me to try to be a little braver, and that's where I started to completely open my heart to you!"

Yes! Back then, she had clearly decided to accept him wholeheartedly, so why did the two of them end up like this?

Perhaps, in the end, it was because I didn't do enough and failed to protect her.

He even hurt her time and time again.

Listening to Yi Shangyun's words, Xuan Yuanhan thought to himself.

So, he said with extreme remorse and apology, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

Yi Shangyun chuckled, but never dared to look at his face.

After hearing his apology, she shook her head and wept intermittently, her voice trembling with emotion.

"How can this be your fault?"

"It was never your fault!"

"This is a joke that God played on me, a joke bigger than the sky itself, that I actually ended up in this space..."

"It even caused me to lose my memory, to forget the world that originally belonged to me..."

"But why do I have to remember this again now..."

"Memories of two lifetimes..."

"The people in my memories of two lifetimes..."

"How should I choose?"

"And how can we face this..."

"how……"

Clearly, in the end, even speaking could no longer continue...

He still didn't understand what she was saying. Just seeing her in so much pain made Xuan Yuanhan feel heartbroken.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to her or how to comfort her.

Now, he, who once held an unparalleled and noble status, was like a frightened bird in her presence.

At this moment, she was facing an abyss.

He was afraid that she might disappear again because of his sudden approach, so he was at a loss and dared not take another step closer.

But when she was heartbroken, his world was completely devoid of any sunshine.

Therefore, he could only stand there, staring intently at her every move.

At this moment, Yi Shangyun's emotions suddenly calmed down again, and she spoke again.

"I promised you before that if I survived the sandstorm in Luxian County, I would tell you who Wei Mingxuan is?"

“Wei Mingxuan…”

Xuanyuan Han repeated the sentence in surprise.

Undoubtedly, he was very much looking forward to the explanation of these three words.

At this moment, Yi Shangyun looked up at the sky, which had begun to change, as if anticipating something.

Suddenly, he blurted out, "Wei Mingxuan, he is the person I have been waiting for for 13 years."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Han was greatly surprised and exclaimed in astonishment.

"What?!"

"Thirteen years?!"

At this point, Yi Shangyun's emotions were stirred once again.

"In my original world, I have been waiting for that guy Wei Mingxuan for a full 13 years!"

"13 years..."

“Thirteen whole springs, summers, autumns, and winters…”

"Even if you were reborn, in your era, in two years, when you reach marriageable age, wouldn't you be of marriageable age?"

"I really don't know, and I really want to know. He was the one who said he wanted to be with me, but why could he say no and just leave me?!"

"His behavior makes me wonder if I'm really a terrible person, or even terribly terrible!"

"I know it was my fault at first, I wasn't brave enough, but I quickly regretted it!"

"I really regret it!"

"When I realized I was wrong, I immediately went to find him..."

"But he..."

"But he just vanished into the vast sea of ​​people, never to be found again!"

Hearing all this, such a deeply moving and unforgettable emotion, Xuan Yuanhan was utterly shocked…
