Qin Xuanzhi left very quietly, and only Tang Wan was by his side.

He held her hand tightly and never let go.

The next day, when Tang Wan got up, she even saw a hint of a smile on his face.

Tang Wan held a funeral for him and did not bury him in the imperial mausoleum. She knew that he did not want to be involved in the struggle and was forced into it. She did not want to force him anymore.

The children cried sadly, but she remained calm and didn't shed a tear until he was buried.

She lived alone in Tingzhu Cottage. Qin An Ning suggested taking her to the palace to enjoy a good life, but she refused.

She didn't want to be the queen mother, she just wanted to be Qin Xuanzhi's wife. Obviously, she had already changed her fate in her previous life, but for some reason, her heart seemed to be missing a piece, empty.

She lived in Tingzhu Cottage for a year, and the children were afraid that she would become depressed, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

She is getting better and better, and even gained some weight. Recently, she has become addicted to reading books.

Everyone is happy to see such a situation. After all, the person is gone, and those who remain should survive well.

The accident happened on a bright afternoon. In order to catch the newly adopted raccoon, she broke into the house where Qin Xuanzhi lived while recuperating.

She originally turned around and wanted to leave, but for some unknown reason she stayed.

She stroked the things Qin Xuanzhi had used, and her eyes gradually became sore.

In a beautiful sandalwood box, there was a somewhat old purse.

The edges have been worn down, but the general shape can still be seen, with a crane pattern embroidered on it.

She felt like she was hit hard. That was the gift she gave him the year they got married. Many years had passed since then, but she didn't expect that he still kept it.

She continued to search and found a lot of things in the mezzanine.

From small items like a withered yellow leaf to large items like a not-so-delicate jade pendant, all were placed inside intact.

Some of them were carefully selected by her, while others were just given away casually, and all were carefully preserved.

She continued searching and came across Qin Xuanzhi's notes.

September 2nd

Wanwan said she was pregnant. I was so happy because I was going to have a family again.

October 6th

I don't know why, even though Wanwan was pregnant, I vomited a lot and felt listless. It was really strange. Later I asked the doctor, and it turned out that this was because I was helping Wanwan bear the pain she had to experience. Fortunately, my wife didn't have to endure such suffering. I know that childbirth is not easy for women, and it is my blessing to be able to help her bear some of the pain.

November 3rd

Wanwan's belly gradually grew bigger and rounder. Were ours this big when Wanwan and I were little?

November 13

Wanwan wanted to eat chestnut cake in the middle of the night, but the shops in the city were closed, so I had to try to make it myself. I made five or six pots and finally had a plate that was presentable. But Wanwan said she didn't want to eat it anymore and wanted to eat candied haws. It was a pity, because the doctor seemed to say that hawthorn can't be eaten.

However, I coaxed her into submission with some sugar-coated tangerines.

November 23

The child can move and keeps pushing against the palm of my hand. It's a bit strange, but I inexplicably like this feeling. I hope he grows up quickly and safely, and protects his mother together with his father.

However, I want a daughter who is similar to Wanwan. I heard that Wanwan had a difficult childhood. I think she would be happy to see her little self growing up being spoiled.

It would have been even better if I could have raised Wanwan when she was a child.

December 6th

Wanwan has gained a lot of weight. When she first came into the mansion, she was too thin, with a small, pointed face. I finally fattened her up, and I gained a lot of weight as well. After all, there were too many defective products that were discarded in the middle of the night, so I had to eat them.

Wanwan seems to like the muscles on my body. Fortunately, my winter clothes can hide my flesh. Now that spring has come, I must not be so lazy and give the wasted snacks to other soldiers.

December 16th

My martial arts training was put on hold, and dim sum came back to bite me.

Wanwan couldn't have done it on purpose.

Lunar New Year's eve

Today is New Year's Eve. I took Wanwan to meet my parents. I didn't want to take her with me at first, but I also wanted to show my parents that I have a home again and a wife who loves me very much.

She said she came to love me.

I won’t be alone anymore. I’m so happy that I want to cry, but I hold it back.

Men don't shed tears easily.

Okay, just one drop.

The first day of the Lunar New Year

Why is your Majesty's clothing material in front of my parents' grave?

Could it be that there is another hidden story behind my parents' death?

I still went to investigate. Although I looked like a pure minister, I still had a lot of secret guards.

In case of emergency, after all, the most difficult thing to guess is the emperor's mind. I used to be alone and could have ignored it, but now I have a wife.

I had to think about it more.

Although my parents don't love me, I still don't want them to die in such an unclear way.

January 17

The investigation was not yet complete, the war became tense, and I was sent out again.

I asked Wanwan to wait for me, and she agreed.

February 3rd

The war is finally over. You could have sent someone else, but they always insist on asking me to go. It’s so annoying. I really want to retire to the mountains and wait for me to find out everything, then take Wanwan away and run away.

February 4th

I bought a lot of pastries and some little gadgets that Wanwan liked. She hadn't seen me for a long time and she must have missed me a lot. I wonder if she has lost weight.

The notes suddenly stopped here, and Tang Wan continued to read forward.

There was no date on the back, only a few words, written like dog scratches, red and black.
