Chapter 318 Separation

When Bailing was sorting out Chen Shiyi's belongings, she saw a black box with gold painting on it on the table where she usually read books and curled up to drink tea.

When he opened it, there was a thick letter and a golden hairpin inside.

When Pei Luoshu received these two things, a hint of life appeared in his gray eyes.

"I found this when I was cleaning up my sister's belongings. Your name was written on it."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, she bowed to Pei Luoshu and walked out the door.

The corners of Pei Luoshu's lips turned pale, his eyes turned red, pain spread throughout his limbs, his arms trembled, and he couldn't control himself.

As soon as he opened the letter, familiar handwriting came into his sight.

"A Luo, I still subconsciously don't want you to read this letter, but your eyes are like a rabbit, they are so red, don't cry.

Our separation is inevitable. You gradually go on your own way, while I stay where I am, getting further and further away from you.

Watching you holding my hand exhausted and walking so hard, I felt very uncomfortable and felt like a burden. I didn't want to be a burden, so I kept trying to prove myself and wanted to do my best to help you. Later on, I found that in front of absolute power, I was just a joke.

I missed the position of queen twice. Once it didn't want me, and this time I didn't want it.

Because I knew what would happen in the future, the strong persuasion of the court officials and the difficulty of my inability to conceive would make us gradually become unrecognizable in the years to come, and even disgusted with each other.

Please forgive my cowardice and retreat. I don't want our beautiful love to disappear before our eyes.

Parting is not always sad. I just want to leave everything we have in the bright pear petals in Ping'an Town, my home in Jiangzhou, the blooming red plums in the plum garden, and the colorful first snow...

This golden hairpin is a birthday present for you. Jade is too pure and translucent. Things that are too beautiful are always fragile. Once broken, they are broken.

The love is deep and lingering, but it is just an old dream. Ah Luo, let's wake up!

You are a perfect emperor. Under your rule, the people of Daye will live in peace, prosperity and wealth.

Your first wife, Chen Shiyi. "

When Yue Zhi entered to report on court affairs, he gently pushed the door open and saw Pei Luoshu lying in a rocking chair, covered with a thin quilt. He was immersed in sorrow, holding a letter in his left hand and stroking the pattern of the gold hairpin with his right fingers.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."

"Yue Zhi, she was thinking about having a child with me some time ago, why did she suddenly become like this?"

Yue Zhi thought about it.

"Your Majesty, this may be the Queen's obsession. She was not happy during her time in the mansion. She is probably not suitable for the deep palace. Perhaps from the beginning, this result was destined. It is fate, and I am afraid it cannot be forced."

Pei Luoshu laughed at himself.

Yes, if he had told her his identity long ago, perhaps there would be no relationship between him and her.

Gaining it is all his coercion, losing it is also his fate.

Chen Shiyi’s death caused great sadness among everyone who knew him.

Kyoto, after her death, was posthumously named Empress Xiaoxian Yide Yuan.

Mo Xunyan felt very sad after hearing this.

"After death, we become nothing but smoke. What is the use of those false names?"

"Why is it useless? It's the comfort that the living give to themselves, not for the dead to hear."

After hearing what Cui Yongan said, Mo Xunyan rolled her eyes at him.

"What a pity! Such a good person is gone just like that. From now on, no one will call you Brother Cui anymore."

Cui Yongan was silent for a moment.

"She has had a very hard life."

Mo Xunyan thought of something and spoke again.

"I'm afraid Wen Zhiheng will be sad."

As the years go by and time flies, everyone is walking the path they should walk, wading through the river they should cross, and crossing the bridge they should cross. The people who accompanied us on the road disappeared halfway. We have been sad and reluctant to leave, but ultimately we can't turn back.

After the severe cold of winter, the warm sunshine of spring comes again.

It's another beautiful year.

On the streets of Kyoto, bells on carriages jingled and people were busy going about their business.

Yue Zhi got off the carriage and was invited into the quiet alley through the corner gate.

He walked slowly into the courtyard, and when he approached Lingyun Pavilion, he heard a slight cough coming from inside.

Yue Zhi looked around Lingyun Pavilion.

I don’t know if it’s because the winter was too cold, but now spring hasn’t slowed down yet. All the precious flowers and plants in the pots have withered and died, leaving only a few that are struggling to survive, shining with a hint of green.

"Yue Zhi pays respect to the Prime Minister."

The door creaked open and Wen Zhiheng appeared.

His face turned pale, he coughed a few times and asked in confusion.

"Commander Yue, what do you want?"

Yue Zhi bowed to Wen Zhiheng.

"Is there any tea in the Prime Minister's room?"

Wen Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly moved away.

"Commander Yue, please come in."

Sitting upright in the chair, Yue Zhi took out something from his sleeve, which was a seal and a token, as well as a bunch of keys and a letter.

"The queen gave these to me before she died and asked me to pass them on to you. She asked me to give you all her wealth in her lifetime. She said you would use them well."

After Wen Zhiheng coughed twice, he picked up the token, placed it in his palm and looked at it for a long time, then put it down and smiled bitterly.

"What do I need these for?"

He thought of something and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Why did you deliver them? Why did she give them to you?"

Yue Zhi chuckled.

"Why can't the queen give these things to me? I have followed her for many years."

"But, you are the commander-in-chief of His Majesty's imperial guards."

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so cautious. I am only doing my duty as entrusted by someone."

Wen Zhiheng's sharp eyes dimmed again in an instant.

"Has she been ready for this?"

Yue Zhi said.

"Being prepared is always a good thing, so there is no need to be so sad, Mr. Prime Minister."

After saying this, he took a sip of tea.

"I'll take you somewhere."

After leaving the palace, he boarded a carriage, passed through the inner city, and arrived at a high-ranking mansion in the southern suburbs of Kyoto.

Outside the house, there was a high wall made of green bricks that stretched as far as the eye could see. In the middle was a tall door with peeling paint. At the base of the wall, there was lush green weeds. It seemed that no one lived here.

"Where?"

"This is what the Queen instructed me to personally deliver to you in spring."

After saying that, he handed the key in his hand to Wen Zhiheng, bowed to him, and then walked out of his sight.

Wen Zhiheng picked up the key and unlocked the door.

As soon as you open the door, the whole yard is filled with fresh green and red flowers, plants and trees.

Colorful flowers and exotic fragrances are flying towards you, butterflies are fluttering greedily on various flowers, orioles are singing in the trees...

She gave herself a spring.

Wen Zhiheng stepped in slowly and found himself in it.

Thinking of something, he closed his eyes and tears streamed down his face.

"Master, after half a lifetime of wind and snow, it is difficult for the spring to fill the garden. I will repay your love in the next life. I only wish that you will be blessed with good fortune in this life, and have a long and lasting love, and that you will find a loving partner and live a life of wealth and luxury."

The wind blew, and the crystal pear blossoms swayed slowly and fell on people's shoulders. Only someone could be heard sighing softly.
