Actually, it’s not really cheating, he didn’t say he would definitely agree to it.
But Su Bei whispered: "If you don't agree, I wish you sunny days in the future."
Chu Younan didn't understand what he meant, but his understanding was that if it was sunny every day, it wouldn't rain, and if it didn't rain, there would be drought, and there would be famine...
"Okay, I promise you..." Chu Younan was speechless.
Only then did Su Bei feel relieved and told the whole story.
As she expected, when she heard that Qin Meizhi was not dead and Su Bei planned to match her with Gu Rui, Chu Younan's brows were tightly knotted.
After all, the education he had received over the past twenty years was deeply ingrained in him, and he still couldn't accept the fact that his father's concubine eloped with someone else for a while.
But before he could accept it or not, Su Bei made a request: "Now that you know it, it will be easier. When Concubine Mei is buried, you send someone to give her the antidote, so as to save the trouble of finding someone to dig the grave. Also, you cannot hold them accountable after the incident."
“This is not…”
Chu Younan had just said two words when Su Bei covered his mouth. "Don't reject me! Do you know what I meant by sunny days?"
"You are threatening me with the country, Abei, you have become a bad person!" Chu Younan said seriously.
Su Bei was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed so hard that he fell backwards. It took him a long time to stop laughing and he whispered a few words in his ear.
Chu Younan's face darkened. "You are not cursing me, you are cursing yourself! Do you want to be a widow?"
"Okay, okay, you already know that Concubine Mei is not dead, could it be that she was really buried alive? Please, please, just let them go..." Su Bei pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly.
It seemed that over the past few years, Su Bei had acted like a spoiled child to him only a few times, and Chu Younan could not resist this the most...
He nodded.
Now that he knew about this, he was able to handle it more smoothly.
As for Cheng Shi, Su Xiujie invited his master, Doctor Jiang, from Tongcheng under the pretext of treating Cheng Shi.
Of course, it was not so easy to invite Doctor Jiang. Su Xiujie tried to persuade him for several days and promised him enough wine and food before he reluctantly invited him.
Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled.
Cheng Shi’s illness cannot be cured too quickly, otherwise the signs of deceiving the emperor will be too obvious.
And just like that, "Princess Mei" was buried.
In fact, Ling Xiao had been ordered to switch the dragon with the phoenix. He sent Qin Meizhi to the mountain outside the city and gave her the antidote.
But to outsiders, Concubine Mei had indeed been buried.
Especially in Gu Rui's opinion.
When he returned to the capital, things were very different from before.
In the past, Gu Rui was flamboyant and confident, but this time when he arrived at the gate of Prince Jingnan's Mansion, he was almost beaten out as a beggar.
Fortunately, Gu Rui took out a jade pendant with the word "Cheng" engraved on it.
"You want me to give this to our prince?" The gatekeeper looked at Gu Rui and the jade pendant in confusion.
The main reason is that Gu Rui and the jade pendant don’t match at all, and it looks like they were stolen.
"Yes, I want to see him again." Gu Rui looked very sad.
The person he loved most was dead, and now he just wanted to see Cheng Shi one last time.
Oh yes, in ancient times, information was blocked. Gu Rui rushed back when he heard the news that Prince Jingnan had fallen ill, and he didn't know that Cheng Shi had already recovered.
The gatekeeper was very confused, but still helped him go in and pass the message.
But before leaving, the gatekeeper specifically asked another person to watch Gu Rui. If he was really a thief, he would be handed over to the authorities.
While standing outside the door waiting, Gu Rui had only one thought in his mind: to see Qin Meizhi for the last time, and then he would go to the tomb to accompany her.
Anyway, he is the most unsuccessful time traveler, and this is the best ending.
But just as he was feeling sad, he saw a figure running towards him like the wind and grabbing his shoulders, "Brother Gu, you don't have to make yourself so embarrassed, right? Were you robbed or something? Why are you in such a mess?"
Gu Rui had no intention of answering Cheng Shi's series of soul-searching questions. He was confused for a while, and then kept thinking about one question in his mind: Why didn't Cheng Shi die? He didn't look like he was terminally ill. Gu Rui's wisdom, which he had temporarily thrown aside, suddenly returned, and he realized that something was wrong. He must have fallen into a trap.
He hadn't forgotten that Cheng Shi used to play with Chu Youyang. He planned to have him come back now. Maybe Chu Youyang was still angry and wanted to grind him to ashes! He wasn't afraid of being burned to ashes, but he was afraid that he would be scattered and couldn't go to the grave to accompany Qin Meizhi.
"Brother Gu! Brother Gu!" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Shi shook his shoulders in surprise, "It's good that you're back. Come on, follow me..."
Meet the Queen.
Before he could finish his words, Gu Rui ran away.
Run faster than a rabbit.
Only Cheng Shi was left standing there in a daze.
All the royal family members are buried in the imperial mausoleum. The place is easy to find, but it is guarded by people, which makes it difficult to enter.
But it was just a little difficult and did not faze Gu Rui. He quickly found Qin Meizhi's tomb.
When Gu Rui saw the epitaph engraved on it, tears burst out.
This was the only time he had loved in his three lifetimes combined, and who knew it would end up like this.
I was crying sadly when suddenly a shadow blocked the halo of the moon.
Gu Rui thought they were soldiers guarding the mausoleum, but when he turned around, he was almost scared to death.
Standing behind him was a woman. Although she was wearing a coarse cloth dress and had the light behind her, Gu Rui could still see her face clearly.
"Mei...Meimei...Mei..." He was unable to utter any words.
Although he had been to the tomb before and planned to go in to be buried with the dead, Gu Rui never expected that his lips would tremble when he really saw a ghost.
The words he said incoherently sounded like a nickname for her in Qin Meizhi's ears.
After she came back to life, she would secretly visit the imperial mausoleum every day, hoping to see Gu Rui coming. Unexpectedly, her dream came true.
But she was still a little shy and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just slowly took two steps forward...
“You, you, you…don’t…don’t come over here…” Gu Rui said in panic.
He himself didn't expect that after his soul was reborn, he would be afraid of ghosts.
Qin Meizhi really stopped.
My heart is filled with a mixture of loss and sadness.
After a long time, she finally spoke: "You take care of yourself..." Live a good life.
But before he could finish the second half of the sentence, he heard Gu Rui scream as if his tail was stepped on, "What do you mean just take care of yourself? I have a clear conscience! I have spent my whole life trying to protect you and Cheng Shi, but I failed halfway!"
It should be said that more than half.
Gu Rui became more and more sad as he spoke, and he even started to cry, "It would have been better if you had come with me earlier? I should have told you when we were in Tongcheng, it's all my fault that I spoke too late!"
"But don't be afraid, I'm going in right now to accompany you. If I can't live with you while I'm alive, I'll be buried with you even after I die!"
As he spoke, Gu Rui started digging the grave with his hands.
But the imperial tomb was not so easy to dig. His fingers were sore from being rubbed, and he only managed to dig up a little bit of loose soil.
Qin Meizhi behind him couldn't help it. It would be unfair if she didn't feel moved.
She wanted to hug him, tell him that she was not dead, leave here with him, and become a country woman.
But she had only taken a few steps forward when she heard noisy footsteps and shouting.
“There’s someone over there!”
