Peaceful and quiet life
"Ah Ling." Fan Lingzhang put one arm around her waist and stroked her back with the other. "Take a deep breath, sweetie, calm down. There's still a chance for things to turn around."
As Xu reached up to wipe his eyes, his hands were covered in makeup—a disaster! This was a complete disaster!
"I can't sleep well, and there are always people bothering me." Sui Zhixu simply buried her eyes in Fan Lingzhang's shoulder and rubbed them against him.
"Okay, okay, who's bothering you? I'll go and deal with them for you." Fan Lingzhang patted her back repeatedly.
"I need to find Yueling and take him in! Waaah... That crazy lunatic keeps haunting my dreams every day."
"His Majesty always wants to see me. Who wants to see him? He's practically begging to be my father. I don't want to see him."
"Fine, fine, we won't meet. If he tries to force you, I'll take you with me and run away."
As Xu silently cried even harder, Fan Lingzhang felt the wetness on the side of her neck and felt a pang of heartache in his eyes.
"I brought back reinforcements from Yue, along with many other things. Yue's jewelry and clothing are incredibly diverse and exquisite. I think they would suit you perfectly! Their architectural skills are lacking, but their military strength is formidable, and their weapon manufacturing is outstanding. I had two swords forged, thinking you would like them..."
Her makeup was completely ruined from crying, and when she realized this, she felt even more unsettled.
She reached out and pulled off Fan Lingzhang's outer blouse to cover his face, then turned and went inside, leaving Fan Lingzhang outside.
"Ah Ling, Ah Ling!" Fan Lingzhang reached out and knocked on the door, before he could finish speaking.
Not long after, Sui Zhixu opened the door. She washed her face, but her eyes were still red and dark circles were still visible under her eyes.
Fan Lingzhang reached out his fingertip and gently touched the area under her eye, a smile playing on his lips.
Sui Zhixu slapped his hand away impatiently, "Laugh again! If you laugh again, I'll chop you up and feed you to Xiao Qing."
"No, I don't want to." He took Sui Zhixu's hand and placed it on his own neck, making two cuts, pretending to be really dead, and cried out pitifully.
"If A-Ling takes action, I will do so willingly."
"You're so glib." Sui Zhixu withdrew her hand and went to shake his. "Now, right now, find Yueling. I can't take it anymore."
Fan Lingzhang stared at her profile. "Very beautiful."
Xu, focused on dealing with Xi Yushao, didn't hear clearly, "Huh?"
"Ah Ling is always beautiful, a vain young lady."
"Don't say anything more." Sui Zhixu lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I've come back so pathetic again. Why do I feel like crying? Why?"
"Want to cry?"
Fan Lingzhang put his arm around Sui Zhixu's shoulder and hugged her. "I heard from my mother that pregnant women are prone to emotional instability. Maybe it's because of this little one?"
He pointed to Sui Zhixu's belly, unsure of what to do.
Did it happen a few months ago?
After Xu shook her head, Fan Lingzhang pondered for a moment, thinking that perhaps it was because she was not happy when she left Chang'an.
He bent down and kissed her eyes. "I'm back now. I've always been here."
Sui Zhixu kicked him, "Why wasn't it you who was pregnant?"
"Shall I ask the Imperial Advisor if I can conceive this little one?"
"A person of advanced age is a cultivator, not a deity."
Even though Xu didn't kick him hard, he knew it and let her vent her anger, so he lowered his head and rubbed his face against hers.
"It was my fault. I kept bothering you. I won't do it again."
Sui Zhixu reached out and pinched his face, "It's all your fault."
"Hmm, it's all my fault." He pinched Sui Zhixu's earlobe with his hand. "You're not wearing earrings today, so watch me."
He shook his head, and the intricate silver earrings beside his ears swayed gently in the air, making a crisp sound.
A cold wind swept past Fan Lingzhang's earring, as if it were about to blow it right off his ear, causing him a sharp pain.
"The wind is so strong."
"It's that crazy lunatic again." Sui Zhixu reached out and tugged at Fan Lingzhang's ear. "Let me see, is it bleeding?"
"You crazy bastard, thank goodness there was no blood."
Fan Lingzhang blinked, puzzled. She explained briefly as she walked.
“After I returned from Chang’an, he started appearing in my dreams at night and making me look at his tombstone all day long. It was so annoying.”
The two happened to walk ahead, and Sui Zhixu spotted Yueling's figure at a glance. Who else could it be but Yueling, who was always jumping around and never doing anything proper?
"Age in months!"
"Oh my dear apprentice, look at this, it's like we're telepathically connected!" Yueling laughed wildly, then casually rushed to Sui Zhixu's side and put her arm around her shoulder.
"Hahahaha! Woohoo! That's great, mission accomplished! As expected of me, I am the number one in Yueshan! Hahahahaha! Come on, let's have a drink. Oh, sorry, I forgot you can't drink. It's okay, I'll drink your share too."
Yueling pulled out a flask of wine from somewhere and handed it to Sui Zhixu. The rich aroma of the wine lingered in her nose, but it was suddenly taken away, leaving only Yueling's slightly apologetic face.
Su Zhixu was speechless and pushed Yueling away, saying, "Look at yourself, what a mess you are."
She pulled up Yueling's clothes. "What happened to your clothes? The sleeves are ripped. And your hair is all frizzy and messy. Ugh... there's even some black grass on your head. Where have you been gallivanting around? You've made yourself look like this."
"Oops, I accidentally fell into the lake."
With a generous wave of her hand, she doesn't concern herself with trivial matters.
Xu strongly suspected that she had gotten drunk and fallen into the lake.
"Dan Hong, bring her some hangover medicine."
"Drunk? Your master can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. No one in the world can match my drinking capacity!"
Dan Hong handed the medicine to Sui Zhixu, who poured out a few pills. Yue Ling reached out to stop her.
"How could I possibly get drunk from just a few jugs of wine? I just accidentally fell into the water. It's all because there's so much moss growing on the rocks by the river. These are all minor matters, minor matters. We have something very important to discuss next."
A brown pill lay in Sui Zhixu's palm. She glanced up at her and asked, "What?"
"Opening a new stronghold! I'm going to be remembered in history, hahahahaha! What does it mean to have a windfall? The God of Wealth has delivered himself to my doorstep, how can I refuse? I'll immediately return to Yueshan and open a new stronghold, recording my glorious deeds in history. That way, I can be remembered in history, and future generations of Yueshan disciples will surely place me on a high platform, hahahahahaha!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu threw the pill into Yueling's mouth. She clapped her hands expressionlessly, and Fan Lingzhang whispered an explanation in her ear.
"The two emperors of Yue Kingdom were very generous to Yangyue Palace. Yueling swindled a sum of money from her sect, and just now..." He gestured with his chin toward the distant hall, "...she probably swindled another sum from the emperor."
"Hmph, adding annotations to your posts makes you completely unreliable."
"What are you doing?" Yueling swallowed the pill with difficulty and spoke up passionately.
Sui Zhixu turned around and met her gaze, radiating an icy aura.
She glanced around. "That crazy bastard has turned into a ghost and harasses me every night. What do you think he's doing? And where have you been these past few days? Have you been out partying again? I've called you so many times and you haven't answered. Is the wine and flowers in Yue Kingdom better? Are there more beauties? Are you so infatuated that you can't even walk straight and don't even reply to my messages?"
Sui Zhixu reached out and pinched her waist, "You still have the nerve to open your own sect and take on a few more disciples for you to squander? If you're going to be remembered in history, I'll ascend to immortality right now."
"What are you doing? What are you doing? No way! Hey, that's enough, stop pinching me."
Yue Ling turned and ran, but Sui Zhixu stepped on her dress, and she fell face-first into the mud with a thud.
"You little brat, is this how you treat your master? Learn from your senior sister, look at her, how much less trouble she gives me. Gentle, generous, and understanding, she's like a warm, comforting cotton-padded jacket. Look at you, you're a leaky slob! A leaky slob!"
Sui Zhixu rolled her eyes without any decorum. "Stop it, hurry up and take him away! Let the Black and White Impermanence take his soul away and send him to be reincarnated. He doesn't need to beg and plead here."
Yueling was pinned down by Sui Zhixu's foot, unable to run away. She sat cross-legged on the ground, shamelessly begging, "No problem, no problem, please forgive my rudeness and help me up, okay?"
"Before you left, you told me to tell you everything from beginning to end when you came back. Have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, how could I dare to forget?"
"If you forget, stop coming home for meals and go out drinking and carousing."
"No way, I still want to go and freeload a meal, hehe..." Yueling pulled her clothes back. "Good apprentice, good apprentice, you are my best apprentice. You know what our relationship is like."
Yueling winked at her, and Sui Zhixu quickly backed away. She sighed and was speechless. She simply couldn't accept that Yueling, with her aloof and ethereal face, did nothing but absurd things every day.
"Stop it."
"Young Master, could you spare a little something?" Yueling rubbed her fingers together. Her eyes were eager and enthusiastic, and she occasionally let out a playful laugh.
Sui Zhixu looked up without speaking, while Yueling suddenly sat up and leaned against her. "I don't ask for much, just enough for two sons to feed me. My life has been so hard. This story begins with my grandfather, ah, my great-great-grandfather..."
Sui Zhixu covered her ears, "Give it to me, I'll give you whatever you want. Don't say any more of that. I've heard it eight hundred times already. I even know how many moles my great-grandfather had and where they were. I don't want to hear it anymore. You can't keep your mouth shut."
Fan Lingzhang suppressed his laughter. Having witnessed A Ling and the Imperial Preceptor's interactions countless times, he still felt an urge to laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"hey-hey……"
"Go take a shower! Oh dear, which stinky ditch did you fall into? Get away from me right now!"
"What? Oh dear, am I too old to hear? Let me get closer so you can say it again."
Enraged, Sui Zhixu threatened to cut off all of Yueling's money, and Yueling immediately obeyed and went to take a bath.
Sui Zhixu sniffed himself and said, "I'm going to take a bath too."
"Isn't today supposed to be your welcome dinner? I haven't even been there yet, how did you end up here?"
"Utterly boring. Is that my own master's welcome banquet? My master doesn't concern himself with war." Yueling picked up the dark, greasy grass from her head, glanced at it with disdain, and quickly threw it away.
“Look,” Yueling pointed to Fan Lingzhang, “he ran away too.”
Fan Lingzhang smiled and said, "I am just a businessman and do not participate in national affairs."
"Oh, right, right. You only want to find your Ah Ling~"
Sui Zhixu: "Shut up."
Age in months: "Oh."
After taking a shower, Sui Zhixu changed into a dress that was still in the same lotus leaf green style.
"Can I borrow your clothes?"
"Do you think you're tall enough to fit into my clothes? Aren't you going to maintain your otherworldly image? Danhong, go borrow one from the Imperial Tutor."
Xu Heng glanced at her; Yue Ling was tall enough to cover her completely. Her height was similar to Fan Lingzhang's. Looking around, only the Imperial Tutor Fu Mingguang in the entire Chang'an could be compared to her.
"It's alright, I'll send him to reincarnation right now."
"hurry up."
"I'm not going!"
Sui Zhixu squinted; this was the first time he had heard Xi Yushao's voice in broad daylight.
The shadow wrapped around Sui Zhixu's wrist, and a figure appeared in the air.
"You child, you can outrun the eyes of the Black and White Impermanence."
Sui Zhixu reminded her, "His identity is unusual."
"Oh, I remember now, he came here from my previous life. That kid He Miao kept ruining my plans. Keeping him under the Moon Palace was too lenient on him. But listening to my senior brother chanting scriptures every day, um..."
"Age in months..."
"Get to work! Get to work!" Yueling stopped talking nonsense, grabbed Xi Yushao and swung him around twice. "Your soul is quite resilient. It's alright. Just atone for your sins in the next life, and you can be reborn into a better life after that."
"I'm not going! I'm not going!"
Sui Zhixu had already prepared the necessary items for Yueling to begin the process.
“I won’t go! My soul doesn’t belong to your Taoist beliefs.”
"Tch, our Moon Mountain embraces all rivers, it's just that the Imperial Preceptor Hall enshrines the Three Pure Ones. Otherwise, how would that brat He Miao have brought you here? That kid is obsessed with becoming an immortal. He practiced evil arts to empty his body, originally intending to use it on himself, but the forbidden arts of Moon Mountain have been lost for a long time, so he wasn't sure and used it on you. And you believe him."
"You're not thinking you've been fooled by his connection with Ah Ling, are you?"
Xi Yushao was just a soul, so I couldn't tell what his expression was like, but I guessed he wasn't happy either.
"The system is coaxing you like this too?" Yueling gave Sui Zhixu a teasing look, "Yo-ho~"
"Let me go!"
Yueling swung wildly in the air several times, "On the Lantern Festival, Yueshan and I joined forces to destroy the system. Now that you are just a soul, do you think you can escape from me? It occupied your body and tried to incite celestial phenomena to sacrifice the people of the entire city of Chang'an. It was only by a twist of fate that your soul was still alive. Miao unintentionally helped you. Instead of reincarnating, you are still causing trouble in the human world?"
Lantern Festival
Yuechi urged Sui Zhixu to leave, and the people of Yueshan worked together to activate the formation. At that time, Xi Yushao and the system were fighting each other for the body.
"You think you can destroy me? Wishful thinking!" The system took over Xi Yushao's body and manipulated the people of Chang'an to die around it.
"So close, so close! If it weren't for those with bad luck repeatedly ruining my plans, my energy would have reached its maximum long ago. Why would I need these useless people to increase it step by step?"
Yueling: "It must have absorbed the dragon's energy when Sima Xian ascended the throne, Senior Brother, be careful!"
Yue Shu's expression turned solemn. She then threw out Yue Shan's magical artifact and increased the force of the attack.
"Disciples, heed my command! Concentrate your attention and focus your strength!"
"yes!"
"Damn it, Yueling, you bastard, why didn't you say so sooner? The dragon's energy concerns the lives of all people, how could it be taken away by it!"
"Hey, you know how strong the Heavenly Dao's restrictions are!"
Yuechi cursed and swore, but her hands moved quickly. Yueling glanced at Sui Zhixu and watched as the silver needle pierced Gu Qingyi's heart. She thought to herself that this was another troublesome matter.
I can't worry about that now!
"Let this place be the sacrifice for my return to the Federation!"
The system resides within Xi Yushao's body, attempting to manipulate the magnetic field to trigger anomalies and more quickly take his life.
A transparent, ice-blue screen appeared in front of it, already at 92%!
The energy will be sufficient soon!
Once it returns to the Federation, it will definitely activate the pulse cannon to destroy this little world.
The Federation had planned for many years to send personnel to collect the fortune of the small worlds in the three thousand universes to support its own growth and expansion. This was clearly the last small world in this mission, but it turned out to be so difficult.
It took a lot of its energy and time.
"96%! Hahahaha... You can't stop me even if you all come together!"
As the system drew upon the power of heaven, the halo formed by the mermaid pearl beneath their feet shone brightly. The surrounding world was plunged into darkness, leaving only a beam of light in the center, or rather, all the moonlight concentrated there.
"She's gone, she's gone..."
Xi Yushao suddenly regained consciousness and watched as Wen Ke carried the unconscious Sui Zhixu away, muttering to himself.
"What's going on? What the hell is this thing?" The system sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to control the screen, but no matter what it did, the people it was controlling seemed to be frozen in place, motionless, like lifeless wooden figures.
The screen clearly displayed 98%.
The system slammed its fist onto the ice-blue screen. "Headquarters, headquarters, calling headquarters!"
No one answered. It looked up and saw countless Moon Mountain disciples surrounding the beam of light in the void, in a vast and mighty formation.
"Oh!"
No matter how it called headquarters, there was no response, and the strange phenomenon it was looking for did not appear in the sky...
It instantly detached from Xi Yushao's body and soared into the sky, while Xi Yushao lay on the spot, his eyes still fixed on the direction where Sui Zhixu had left.
"A pale blue light, create a protective barrier! Don't let it escape!"
It absorbed the life force of Xi Yushao, reaching 99.9%.
Let's give it our all!
We will definitely return to the Federation!
"I'll do it!" A wisp of green smoke emerged from Yue Ling's sleeve and rushed straight to the system!
"No! You will be reduced to ashes, come back!" Yueling reached out to grab it, but there was only emptiness in her hand. However, the magic array could not be without her, so she watched helplessly as the wisp of remnant soul collided with it.
Yue Shu warned her, "Snap out of it, hope is just around the corner."
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Yue Ling focused her mind and concentrated all her strength on destroying the system.
"No! No! Who are you?" The system was on the verge of giving up, but the moment the remnant soul merged into its body, the numbers on the screen kept dropping.
[99.9%……98%……90%……60%……40%……20%……]
It finally stopped at 16%.
The system remembers this number; it was the value when it first arrived in this world.
Yue Ling tensed her body and shouted, "Disciples of Yue Mountain, heed my command! Sword Dao, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"
"The Way of the Sword: All Swords Return to Their Origin!"
The disciples of the Yue Kingdom's Yangyue Palace held their breath, their eyes blazing, and shouted in unison.
"No!"
The pale blue orb was obscured by the silver light, leaving only a mournful roar. The strange phenomenon would eventually dissipate, and moonlight would spread across the land, bathing the people.
"Heavenly Official bestows blessings; the Purple Star Emperor has manifested his power."
The disciples of Yueshan shouted as they looked at the silver light in the sky.
Yueling straightened her sleeves and, facing her senior brother Yueshu's question, simply said, "Just a friend."
...
"Gone just like that?"
Yueling punched Sui Zhixu on the head. "What do you mean 'just like that, gone'? Do you even know what 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin' means? You ignorant little fool, that scene, that spectacle, it was magnificent! Tens of thousands of swords, silver light like chains, obscuring the sun, uh... obscuring the moonlight. Straight to it. In the past thousand years, only the founding ancestor of Yueshan has used this move, and that was hundreds of years ago with King Ling of Zhou. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Sui Zhixu curled her lip, "Oh, who is the remnant soul?"
"Friends of Tsukiyama."
She hummed softly, urging Yueling to collect the soul.
Yueling waved, "Coming, coming! Summon the Black and White Impermanence immediately."
She knew that Xu did not practice magic, and that she could only see things because Xi Yushao pestered her. She could not see anything else. She slowly watched Yueling recite and talked to the air.
She yawned, and Danhong had already returned to her side to massage her.
As Xu was drifting off to sleep, Yueling walked up to her and lifted her up, saying, "You seem quite relaxed."
"They've left?"
"Um."
"Oh, that's great, I'm so sleepy." She called to Danhong, "Quickly call Zirong over to sleep with me, he'd be perfect as a pillow."
Dan Hong nodded in agreement.
Yueling picked up her clothes and quickly put them on, then sat on the edge of the bed and poked her face.
"very tired?"
"Hmm." Sui Zhixu looked at the roof and said lightly, "I'm exhausted."
"You can't just sleep all the time, get up and move around."
Xu Li stood up and leaned against her, feeling light and airy, like a wisp of mist.
"Gu Qingyi is not dead. Yuechi did a divination and said that her life is not meant to end. You will have to face her eventually. You should think about it carefully."
Sui Zhixu sighed softly, "It's precisely because we know that we're afraid."
She chose to investigate everything back then, she felt that entering the world of martial arts was a way to witness everything, and she was willing to break with it. She has no regrets.
She has come this far step by step in this life, and she has no regrets.
If she hadn't ventured into the world of martial arts, she wouldn't have witnessed the lives of those under the powerful and wealthy.
In the famine, people resorted to cannibalism, were displaced, and cried out in despair everywhere. As she walked through this land, all she heard were their cries. They pleaded with officials, with the emperor in Chang'an, and with Heaven... They lamented their own fate and helplessly embraced the corpses of their loved ones, weeping. In the end, they numbly ate them, devouring kinship, the past, morality, and humanity.
She had no choice; she didn't have a single piece of bread or a single grain of rice. She needed to rush to a distant place overnight to receive a mission in exchange for silver. She didn't know if they would still be there when she got back.
She has seen more and more people. Even in this peaceful and prosperous world, there are still people who cannot get enough to eat, people who suffer injustice, people who are barely surviving, and people who are eager to live and eager to die.
One woman even said that being able to be born safely, grow up with difficulty, get married, and give birth to children for her husband's family was lucky, blessed, and favored by God...
That's ridiculous.
Lu Kou experienced pain again and again, not a heart-wrenching pain, not a sharp pain that could cut everything in the world to pieces, but like a continuous autumn rain, thick, delicate and long.
As the wind seeped into every inch of her skin, into every tiny, hard-to-find crevice of her bones, and even dripped onto her joints, drop by drop, it spread through her body.
She became like moss on the shore, unable to escape, rooted here, covered by layer upon layer of rain.
“Lu Huai can’t create a true golden age. Sima Xian could, but he can’t now. His bamboo pole is bent, and his branches are yellow. The dragon throne is not good at all. I don’t like it.”
But she wants the power to do what she wants.
"Fear is temporary, and I do not regret my decision. I believe that my teachers would like to see me uphold my principles."
"...She's still alive, that's good."
"Don't sleep." Yueling lifted Xu Quan's head, but Xu Quan pretended not to hear, and the two rolled around together.
I'm sleepy.
"You're turning into a little pig."
Sui Zhixu: "Nonsense!"
"Ah Ling, Ah Ling, Ah Ling—I'm here!" Fan Lingzhang rushed in. She was playing around with Yueling when she saw her come in. She withdrew her hand and sat upright on the bed.
Why are you here?
He said, sounding aggrieved, "You're the one who asked me to come."
"Oh, right." Sui Zhixu remembered, sat on the bed and waved to beckon him over, kicking Yueling with her foot under her dress, her eyes fixed on Yueling.
Hurry up and leave.
"Alright~" Yueling picked up the wine she had brought from the table and carried it on her back. "I won't bother you two anymore, oh, no~ that doesn't seem right. No wonder Ahe, Xiaolan, and cute little Lili are so angry~"
"...Why are you using so many strange names! If you don't leave now, I'll cut off your food supply."
"Yes, ma'am!" Yueling tossed the wine into the air, hugged it to her arms, and ran out quickly.
Sui Zhixu rubbed his forehead, "My head hurts."
"Let me rub it for you."
"She's always making a fuss, it gives me a headache."
Fan Lingzhang let Sui Zhixu lean against him, "I think it's great, at least you're very vibrant, aren't you?"
"I'm so angry!"
“Anger is also an emotion. Didn’t it help you escape from pain and self-criticism?” He held her hand, the warmth of their palms passing between them.
“You always think you’re cold and heartless, but I think it’s quite the opposite. It’s precisely because of your keen observation that you can discover the essential characteristics of them and the flowers and plants, isn’t it? My wife is the best wife in the world…”
Fan Lingzhang chuckled softly, his laughter clear and crisp. He tilted his head to touch her.
Although Xu Zhixu's expression was indifferent, it was clear that she was very happy, with a smile in her eyes and brows.
"They're good at saying sweet nothings."
"Every word I said was from the bottom of my heart." His lips kissed her ear, causing her to flinch back, her already slightly red ear turning even redder and more translucent.
"Stop fooling around."
The two embraced, enjoying the peaceful moment. He chatted casually with Sui Zhixu about the affairs of Yue, and she would occasionally look up at him.
"What's wrong?"
"So imposing outside? You've got some nerve, daring to negotiate with the ruler of a nation."
“I provide the money, and he provides the labor. If you do the math, he still makes a profit. Our family’s savings have decreased by a lot. From now on, we should reduce Yue Nu’s food rations.”
"Instead of reducing your own, you're reducing Yue Nu's?"
"Hmm, replace her golden bowl."
She suddenly spoke up: "Where is Yue Nu now?"
"...Or maybe we shouldn't have this little one."
Sui Zhixu: "..."
—
Prince Wei knelt before Gu Qingyi's bedside, watching Yang Su withdraw her hand from taking her pulse, and hurriedly asked, "How is she today?"
"Everything as usual," Yang said calmly as he packed his medicine kit.
Why hasn't she woken up yet?
Yang Su's gaze fell on Gu Qingyi. "She injured her heart meridian and almost died completely. Her body automatically entered a state of hibernation, like an animal hibernating. She will wake up whenever she is supposed to or wants to wake up."
King Wei grasped her hand and asked, "Are you saying that she doesn't want to wake up?"
"Well, I won't interfere in your affairs. I rarely treat patients anymore; this time, I'm just repaying her kindness from back then. I'll stay here until she wakes up, but I won't meddle in anything you do."
After the old Valley Master passed away, Yang Su left the Imperial Hospital and returned to Medicine King Valley to inherit the position of Valley Master. He never participated in court affairs and only stayed in Medicine King Valley to teach his disciples.
He left after saying goodbye, picked up his medicine box, and departed.
"Father, Mother Consort, she..." Chu Yong brushed past Yang Su.
He still hasn't woken up.
After the Lantern Festival, everyone seemed to have lost their souls.
My mother is seriously injured and has not yet woken up. My father has not slept for many days, and only went back to rest after Master Yang said that there was no danger to his life.
Sima An locked himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink, causing much discussion among the people of Chang'an and endless disputes in the imperial court...
He walked step by step to Gu Qingyi's bedside. "Mother, these days I have asked Aunt Chuntao about all your preferences. Please wake up."
Tears fell onto the back of Gu Qingyi's hand. He grasped Gu Qingyi's hand and said, "Mother... please wake up."
The King of Wei said wearily, “She just had acupuncture; let her rest.”
Chu Yong put her hand down and tucked it into the quilt, then tucked the corner of the quilt back in for her.
"Mother, I'll go out now. You should rest well."
After they left, no one noticed the slight twitch of Gu Qingyi's fingers.
The dream was so deep.
What the past represents is nothing more than a bunch of ordinary grapes to Gu Qingyi.
"Are the grapes delicious? I know you like them, so I saved them especially for you."
From that moment on, Gu Qingyi felt that she would always be connected to it.
Love is too much of a luxury for someone like her, so she is cold-hearted, selfish, and calculating.
It wasn't until after the separation, when I was heartbroken, that I realized I had a heart.
The grapes in her heart burst open, sour and swollen, and the cracks in her heart were like grapevines climbing up a rock, winding and constricting her heart.
it hurts……
it hurts……
"Lu Yuan...I'm sorry..."
She slowly opened her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. As she got up, a sharp pain shot through her heart, and she couldn't help but lie back down on the bed.
He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse, "Someone...someone come..."
Hearing the commotion, the maid rushed to the bedside. "My lady is awake! My lady is awake! Quickly go and inform the prince and the others."
The moment Ruolan received the message, she thought of sending it out. The next day, Xu Bian received the message as well.
Gu Qingyi woke up.
