Wu Ling finished reading the last letter. It was getting dark outside. As he looked at the letters, he felt as if he were there, able to feel the joy and sorrow that Ru'er had felt when she wrote them.

He placed the letter against his chest, trying to feel the last trace of warmth she left in this world. At this moment, all he wanted to say was, "I only have love in my heart for you, never hate, so there's no need to apologize."

After all, it was his own choice. His Majesty had told him from the beginning that the two of them could not stay together for life, and the reason for this outcome was that His Majesty had made a deal with Heaven to spare his life!

He can't die!

Otherwise, His Majesty would have made this deal for nothing...

When Wu Ling came out of the room again, two days had passed. He had moved all the things he had brought back into his own house.

All of these things were gifts from Lin Ru!

Since you've decided to live a good life, let's start by tidying up the house.

After all, his Ru'er liked him best when he was clean...

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With the help of the ministers, the original female lead, Bai Youru, quickly became a qualified emperor. She implemented benevolent policies, recruited many talented people, and did everything herself. Even Quan Jinyu had to admire her diligence!

It's very different from before.

But it is precisely because of this that people across the country live in greater peace and contentment, and the economy is booming.

The neighboring small countries were terrified by Lin Ru's iron-fisted methods, and even though Fengtian Kingdom now practices benevolent governance and friendly relations with foreign countries, they still dare not have any ulterior motives.

In fact, the Bai family members and their trusted confidants who had followed Lin Ru all the way were somewhat suspicious of why she had undergone such a dramatic change before and after losing her memory, especially her relationship with Wu Ling, which the whole family had witnessed all along. In the end, her closest confidant, Wu Ling, just left without a word. Now, His Majesty and that young general actually had feelings for each other, which really puzzled them. These people had gone to look for Wu Ling many times, trying to bring him back, but they were always refused. When His Majesty was mentioned, there was no longer any love in her eyes. If it weren't for the tattoos on her body that symbolized the clan leader, everyone would probably suspect that His Majesty had been replaced.

Once things had completely settled down, Wu Fei and Wu Juan returned to get their marriage notarized and married in front of their clansmen!

Wu Ling even went to the wedding banquet with a big smile on his face!

They gave many gifts.

He watched as the two finally became a couple, smiled as he looked towards the horizon, thinking that if his Ru'er knew, she would be overjoyed.

Now, Lin Ru's business for the Wu Clan is thriving, and even the richest man like Qian Duoduo has heard of it.

Therefore, he was exceptionally generous!

When Qian Duoduo and Quan Jinyu got married, she personally went to deliver the gifts.

He even attended Ji Wenxuan's wedding!

Everyone thought that His Majesty, now that he had developed feelings for Xu Yixuan, would avoid him and never come to Shanping County again. But it turns out that as long as his former colleague got married, he would definitely come!

Even when Bai Youyang, Bai Youmo, and Bai Youqing got married, he personally came to deliver many valuable gifts.

He wanted to use his own eyes to help his Ru'er see all the splendor of the world and watch these people go further on their long journey through life.

Everyone was a little confused, and some of the bolder ones approached to ask. He said he was there to help people see for themselves!

This really confused them.

However, he ultimately did not attend Bai Youru's marriage to Xu Yixuan.

Although he had come to terms with reality, he still didn't want to watch his beloved's body be used by another man.

As time passed, the people of Shanping County thought that Wu Ling should have let go of the past. After all, he was over 30 years old, almost 40, and his father and elders had passed away one after another. Now he only had his mother left, who was bedridden. He should at least marry a wife to fulfill his elders' last wishes. But they never expected that when they received news of Wu Ling again, it was news of his death!

The mother of the young patriarch of the Wu clan passed away, and the young patriarch Wu Ling was so grief-stricken that he committed suicide a month after his mother's death. When he died, he was holding a huge box in his hands, which contained thousands of letters, with the envelopes addressed to his wife Lin Ru.

There was also a small box containing yellowed letters, indicating their age. The handwriting on the envelopes was so clear that anyone familiar with the subject would recognize it as the handwriting from before His Majesty's death!

Fortunately, the Wu clan had already received Wu Ling's instructions and buried his body, along with the envelopes and the gifts bestowed upon him by His Majesty before he lost his memory. They held a secret funeral, so when Wu Juan, Wu Fei, Qian Duoduo, Quan Jinyu, Ji Wenxuan, and the Bai family arrived, all they saw was his grave.

No~

To be precise, it is a joint tomb.

The tombstone reads: Husband Wu Ling! Wife Lin Ru! Tomb of two husbands!

Furthermore, the time of death is marked below. Wu Ling's time is marked normally, while Lin Ru's time is the day of her coronation ceremony!

Although everyone was surprised, no one said anything, not even the Bai family members!

Perhaps it was out of guilt, or perhaps everyone already had their suspicions...

In the thirty-fourth year of Fengtian, Bai Youru abdicated in favor of her eldest daughter, Bai Yunning! The first Empress of Fengtian Kingdom completely abdicated...

When Bai Youru was sixty-six years old, she fell seriously ill. In her dream, she was like an observer, and she regained her lost memories.

When she came to her senses, she was covered in sweat. Beside her were her husband, Xu Yixuan, and Bai Yuning, who had become the empress!

The two of them had no idea what Bai Youru was dreaming about, that she kept calling out her old name, Lin Ru!

What they found even more incomprehensible was that Bai Youru, despite her advanced age and frail health, held on to her last breath and traveled thousands of miles to personally bring her descendants to the Wu Clan's tomb where Lin Ru and Wu Ling were buried together!

She looked at the two characters "Lin Ru" and the time of death marked on the paper. Although she had a thousand words in her heart, she couldn't say them.

Xu Yixuan looked at the text marked on it and felt very unhappy.

The maids and servants who had followed also felt that this person was somewhat rebellious.

They actually engraved His Majesty's name on it.

They all thought Wu Ling had gone mad. Even Bai Youru thought he was a bit crazy, but she didn't react because of his past achievements and her guilt. But now it seems that he is the only one in the world who is truly clear-headed.

Despite everyone's objections, she knelt and bowed three times and nine times with great devotion!

Then, dismissing everyone, he pulled Bai Yun Ning aside and introduced her with a broad smile, "This is the successor I've chosen for the two of us. What do you think?"

"I remembered so late, I should have come to see you sooner!"
