Chapter 416: The Concubine's Sister Who Traveled Through Time VS The Sister Who Was Born Again (22)

"If you believe me, then please believe me to the end. I, Qi Yanlai, will never let you down no matter what in this life."

Shi Yi looked up at him in surprise, as if to confirm, but also as if to doubt.

Qi Yanlai held her hand even tighter. He had already made up his mind about some things.

The Emperor and his subjects spent the Lantern Festival together.

Ge Mingyi, who had become the prince's consort, accompanied the Second Prince and fawned on him, which made Ge Yuyi, who was standing by the Fourth Prince, furious.

"God bless our dynasty, and the seas and rivers will be peaceful; God bless our emperor, and the royal family will be healthy; God bless the people, and they will live and work in peace and contentment." The ministers stood up and congratulated the Emperor together.

"This prosperous era is inseparable from all of you present. I will drink with you tonight." The Emperor pressed his hand down slightly and drank the wine in the cup.

Qi Yanlai drank the cup quietly and returned to his original position.

"My son, you seem to be lacking interest today?" The emperor was keenly aware of his low mood.

The officials standing below also caught the emperor's "my son" very sensitively. Among the four princes of the current emperor, only the eldest prince deserves this "my son".

"Father, I am just feeling a little unwell." Qi Yanlai stood tall in front of everyone, and his face, which looked paler than that of a normal person, seemed to prove the fact that he was feeling unwell.

"Since my son is not feeling well, then go back and rest first. In the future, there will be countless festivals to spend with the subjects, and this one is not missing." The emperor was very open-minded, and waved his hand, calling on other officials: "Everyone, hold up your glasses, and let's continue drinking."

The eldest prince's mention of leaving the Royal Lantern Festival Banquet did not seem to cause any waves, but in fact, it was already turbulent in secret.

The emperor's words "In the future, there will be countless festivals to spend with the subjects" meant that the eldest prince had already been designated as the next crown prince. The sensitive court officials and princes already had an idea.

The second and fourth princes, who had secretly formed an alliance, exchanged glances, and a young eunuch quietly followed the eldest prince and left.

Qi Yanlai naturally discovered the people following him. But he didn't care. After getting on his own carriage, he returned to his mansion along the original route.

This night seemed to have no special waves. A peaceful night passed just like that.

On the morning of the second day, the court officials witnessed a coup at the palace gate at the normal time of the morning court.

The final winner was the eldest prince. What many court officials expected and expected was that the emperor sent his private guards to help the eldest prince.

Shortly after the coup, the emperor took the initiative to abdicate, and the eldest prince naturally inherited the throne.

The new emperor did not take any special measures when he came to power, but continued to use the previous officials and continue the previous policies. This also made many old officials feel relieved.

Qi Yanlai succeeded to the throne and imprisoned the second and fourth princes, which made Ge Mingyi and Ge Yuyi regret it.

Ge Mingyi always felt that she was a new human who had traveled through time and space and had advanced knowledge different from this dynasty, and she should make a career of her own. But because she bet on the wrong treasure, she had to stay in the clan mansion for the rest of her life, without any freedom.

Ge Yuyi has always been proud of her reborn identity, but she didn't expect that after doing so many things, she still couldn't change her fate, and lost her freedom and status, even worse than in her previous life.

The two parents of the Ge family did not feel sorry for or sympathize with the two daughters, because they were now happily preparing for the wedding of their most beloved daughter.

Liu Yanqing had long foreseen the fate of her two daughters, so she repeatedly refused the youngest daughter's request to see her. She loved her eldest daughter more since she was a child, and as for the youngest daughter, she had done her best to be a mother and daughter. Now on such a happy occasion, naturally, she should take care of the eldest daughter more.

On the day of the new emperor's wedding, there was a three-day amnesty for the whole country, and the people celebrated together. The second and fourth princes who were imprisoned in the clan residence were also among them. After the wedding, the new emperor and the queen were in love, which made others envious. Ge Junqi, who had just become the father-in-law of the country, also had a higher status, but he took the initiative to resign. Qi Yanlai did not force him to stay. In the palace coup, he lost his two brothers, and his father-in-law also lost his two daughters.

Many years later, Ge Yuyi and Ge Mingyi began to recall their lives. After being washed away by the world, they began to become peaceful.

They no longer had the mentality of time-traveling women and reborn women, and began to accept the baptism of this dynasty on them. They really touched the ground. They no longer dared to look up at the person sitting on the high seat. Although that person once lived in the same mansion as them and was a sister. They honestly accepted their fate and started their ordinary lives.

"The peonies in the imperial garden are in bloom, let's go and see them together." The elderly Qi Yanlai supported the white-haired queen and walked out. Lu Ya, who was the same age, accompanied them.

"Go ahead. It's been a long time since we went out for a walk." The queen took his hand. She was old and blind, but her sense of smell seemed to have become more sensitive because of the lack of vision. Therefore, Qi Yanlai would personally change the flowers sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for her every day.

"The weather seems good today." The queen squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky, as if she could still see.

"Yes, it's a nice day." Qi Yanlai stretched out his hand, which was beginning to have age spots, to "catch" the sunlight, and gently held it in front of the queen's face, saying lovingly: "Smell it. Is there the familiar peony scent?"

"Indeed. It's full of peony scent." His old queen seemed to have regained her youth at this moment, accurately placed his hand on her chest, looked at him lovingly and said: "It reminds me of the time when you and I got married. At that time, peonies were placed from the Ge Mansion where I got married to the Funing Palace."

"Yes. At that time, I always thought that old age was far away from us. Who would have thought that we would be old so quickly." Qi Yanlai affectionately hugged the queen in his arms, "We must cherish the remaining time and not waste a single bit."

For a long time, there was no response. He looked down and saw that the person in his arms had stopped breathing.

"Wake up, why are you so naughty." He shook her hand, and tears had wet her entire cheek.

He didn't know how long he had been sad. All he remembered was that he fell back and closed his eyes completely.

When he woke up, he found that it was just a dream, and his queen was sleeping beside him, young, beautiful and healthy.

"Life is too short." Qi Yanlai's dream made him feel infinite emotion.

"But as long as you stay with me, that's enough." He leaned over and kissed her cheek.

For the rest of his life, he only wanted her, and only her.
