Chapter 127: Xuanye is also afraid that people in the world cannot escape the love between men and women

This passionate and lingering scene lasted for a very long time. When the hot spring water stopped rippling, Xuanye gently held Xiu Yu in his arms. He was also a little out of breath.

"Yu'er, tell me, am I a little old?"

"Hmm?" Xiu Yu gently stroked Xuanye's chest with her left hand and said softly, "Are you feeling a little drained of energy? It's normal to age. Everyone ages."

"But I don't want to grow old." Xuanye's words actually revealed a hint of fear: "I'm afraid that when I really get old, and I'm really gone, I won't be able to see you anymore." He stroked the back of Xiu Yu's head again and again: "I'm not lying, and I'm not just pretending. Lately, when I look at the white hair stuck in my braid, I often feel scared. I really want to keep you by my side all the time, not a single minute or second apart."

"You..." Xiu Yu suddenly felt her cheeks burning, scorching hot. "Your Majesty is in his prime, and we still have plenty of time to spend together. Besides, Yu'er has white hair too, not just you. In fact, if you and I both have white hair, doesn't that mean we'll grow old together? That would be great too."

"But after growing old together, we'll be separated forever." Xuanye said, tightening his grip around Xiuyu. "I don't want to be separated from you. I really don't. I'm really afraid."

"Why are you suddenly like a child?" Xiu Yu looked into Xuanye's eyes and couldn't help but put her arms on his shoulders. "Let's be happy for every moment we can be together. Don't think about being separated."

Xuanye and Xiuyu looked at each other, their hearts agitated. "I know I should cherish every moment with you, but maybe I'm really getting old lately."

"Don't think about it anymore." Xiu Yu gently leaned into Xuanye's chest, feeling his heartbeat: "Maybe, there really are reincarnations in this world. Maybe, we can really be together again and again."

"Do you know..." Xuanye whispered close to Xiuyu's ear, "I've had this dream more than once. In this dream, I seemed to be in Yama Palace. I told Yama that I didn't want to be reincarnated. I wanted to live this life over and over again, and I only asked Yama to send Yu'er to me so that I could be with her forever."

Hearing Xuanye's words, Xiuyu's heart trembled. In fact, she had lived here for so long and had given birth to several children, she had almost forgotten that she was originally a modern person. Now hearing Xuanye say this, it couldn't be that the King of Hell had appeared and brought her back to the Qing Dynasty from such a distant future.

"You are the emperor, how can you be so sentimental? Conquering and protecting the empire are what you should care about most."

Xuanye sighed, "Yes, conquering and defending the empire should be what I care about most. However, everyone has emotions, and I am also a human being, and I cannot escape the word 'emotion'. Before I met you, I vowed to the Empress Dowager that the empire is my most important thing, that I want to be the greatest emperor of all time, and that I will never indulge in sentimental relationships. But after meeting you, I have to admit that I promised too early, and I cannot escape sentimental relationships."

Xiu Yu's heart moved, and she felt her eyes moisten. She didn't want to cry in front of Xuanye, so she simply went into the hot spring, came out, and wiped her face with her hand.

Xuanye knew Xiuyu too well. She appeared strong on the outside, but in reality, she was a sentimental person. He raised his hand and gently wiped the hot spring water off Xiuyu's face, saying softly, "We should go to rest. From now on, I won't make you cry again."
