The prince won.

The war is over.

The subjects filled the streets of the royal city, cheering and jumping for joy to welcome the triumphant new king.

The road was paved with flowers and there were laughter and joy everywhere.

Just as everyone was looking at the prince expectantly, waiting for him to put on the crown and be crowned king.

His Royal Highness the Prince put down his crown and announced that he would hand over the throne to the general who had made great contributions in the war.

And he is going to be a painter!

The prince left the royal city with his beloved wife, as well as flowers and blessings from his people.

They settled in a quiet town.

The wife opened a bakery, and the prince became a painter. He drew pictures of all the delicious breads and hung them in the window, which attracted many customers.

They had a daughter and a son.

They lived happily ever after.

…

Light watercolors depict a cute bakery and a family of four having dinner together.

Pei Ji saw the name in the lower right corner of the last page of the picture book.

Deer in the forest.

"Is this the end of the story?" He held the book in his hands and looked up to ask Shen Que.

Chen Que bent his legs, rested his chin on his knees, and smiled faintly.

"Of course not."

He tilted his head like a child listening to a story.

"Do you want to hear the real ending?"

"I think so." Pei Ji said.

He had waited too long for this ending.

Chen Que put his legs together and took a deep breath.

There was a damp smell in his breath.

Shen Que felt hot and damp, but his heart was pounding with nervousness, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his palms.

Even my thoughts became a little confused.

He tried his best to keep his voice from shaking.

"The real ending is that the prince did not win the war."

"He became a sinner in the kingdom and was exiled to an unknown land, with his wife becoming the next king in his place."

"Their children had to be taken out and frozen."

"Fortunately, his wife won the victory and saved the kingdom, and their child was born again through artificial delivery after the war was completely over."

"It's a pity that the prince can't see it."

Pei Ji looked at the name "Lin Zhilu" in silence.

His heart was beating fast too.

The fragrance of the flowers made people feel hot all over, but Pei Ji remained awake.

He leaned forward and whispered, "But, in the story, they had two children."

"yes."

Shen Que raised his head and looked at Pei Ji.

Raindrops beat against the windowsill.

At that moment, countless complex emotions flowed from his deep eyes, like rain falling into a lake, stirring up layers of ripples.

"Back then, not one, but two embryos were removed from Carolina's belly."

"The Empress and the Old Emperor have a pair of fraternal twins."

"However, the technology at that time was not as advanced as it is now. One of the embryos was already on the verge of death when it was taken out. The doctor said it could only survive for a few more minutes and it was not even possible to freeze it."

"But the Queen still froze them."

"Even if the frozen fetus was a stillborn one, she couldn't bear to sentence her own child to death."

"However, what she didn't expect was that the old emperor made a decision before he was exiled. He took the embryo away without telling anyone, leaving only a message."

“I always believe that there are miracles of love and life in the ocean of life.”

I always firmly believe that the ocean of life contains all the miracles of love and life.

Pei Ji murmured these words.

He had seen the same words in the notes that Lin Zhilu left for Ai Fan.

The person who studied the Sea of ​​Life on Baisha Star was also the Old Emperor.

Perhaps, before his exile, he had been to Baisha Star, completed some research that he had not been able to complete before, and came to some conclusions.

"He saved the embryo." Pei Ji looked at Chen Que and made a statement.

“I don’t know if it was him or the Sea of ​​Life,” Shen Que said, “but the child did survive.”

Shen Lu never mentioned how Shen Que was born.

Shen Que guessed that Shen Lu must have kept his embryos for many years until he confirmed there was a chance of saving them, and then unfrozen them.

Time is disordered in the ocean of life.

For a long time, Shen Que couldn't tell how old Shen Lu was or what he looked like.

Is he a gray-haired old man or a shy and introverted teenager?

However, the side effects of time did not appear on Shen Que.

He grew up normally as a child, like a little animal that was specially cared for by the Sea of ​​Life.

However, Shen Lu, who was severely eroded by the Sea of ​​Life, could not give Shen Que a normal childhood.

Sometimes, he would grab Chen Que's hand and mutter madly:

"I am a sinner. I have harmed many people."

"I saved you, but you can only stay here. What's the point of saving you?"

"Did I harm you too?"

He would start crying as he spoke, and like a child he would keep asking:

"Why on earth did the Sea of ​​Life return you to me?"

"Are you the salvation that fate has given me?"

"Yeah……"

Most of the time, Shen Lu would just silently do research that he didn't understand, or paint on the ground with homemade paints.

He drew Carolina's appearance and told Shen Que, this is mom, you have to remember what she looks like.

One day, Shen Lu excitedly said to Shen Que, "I've found a way to control the turbulence of time and space! I can send you out!"
