Zichen Palace
A man in his early twenties, dressed in a bright yellow python robe, with a cool and aloof expression and slightly pursed thin lips.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Fortunately, his hair had turned white, and he looked to be in his twilight years.
"Where is Father?" the man asked.
"His Majesty hasn't woken up yet. These past few days, he's been awake for increasingly shorter periods, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial physicians isn't doing much good." Xinglai said with a worried expression, fearing that His Majesty wouldn't make it...
"Let me go in and see my father." The man stepped inside.
The palace servants inside greeted the Crown Prince upon his arrival, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need for formalities," the Crown Prince casually waved his hand.
"Did Father take all his medicine today?" the Crown Prince asked.
"Not yet, His Majesty hasn't woken up all day," a palace attendant said.
Hearing the palace servant's words, the crown prince also became worried. He walked towards the bed and then lifted the curtain. The crown prince was stunned when he saw what was inside.
"Father?" the Crown Prince called out.
The person on the bed was none other than Yu Jingchen. However, Yu Jingchen now had a full head of silver hair, and he stared blankly at the ceiling.
Fortunately, they heard the Crown Prince call for his father and came over, only to find that Yu Jingchen had already woken up.
"Your Majesty, you're finally awake." Xinglai said with a look of relief.
Yu Jingchen did not speak.
"Your Majesty?" Xinglai called out.
"Father?" The Crown Prince also became worried.
"I dreamt of your mother..." Yu Jingchen finally spoke.
Mother? Both Xinglai and the Crown Prince were stunned.
“Isn’t Mother Consort in the palace? If Father Emperor wishes to see Mother Consort, I will have her come over,” the Crown Prince said.
"Your mother... is gone. She... took a sword for me and then disappeared... she disappeared more than forty years ago." Yu Jingchen struggled to get up.
The Crown Prince hurried to help him up, but he became more and more confused by what Yu Jingchen was saying. What was different was that Xinglai's expression changed.
"What is Father Emperor saying?" The Crown Prince did not understand.
“Your mother… Xiao Yun’er… she’s gone. More than forty years ago, Father lost her…” Yu Jingchen continued.
Xiaoyun'er?
"Your Majesty is thinking of the Imperial Noble Consort..." Xinglai said.
Imperial Noble Consort? Ah... is that Nan Zhiyun, the daughter of the former war god General Nan, who saved the emperor?
“Fortunately… I just had a dream, a very long dream… In the dream, I was reborn, reborn before Xiao Yun’er died, and I… loved her…” Yu Jingchen said, tears streaming down his face.
“Those things felt so real, as if I had experienced them myself… I feel like I’ve lost her… Fortunately… I’ve lost her, what should I do? She’ll blame me…” Yu Jingchen stood up.
"Your Majesty, it was just a dream. The Imperial Noble Consort is no longer with us." Xinglai didn't know why Yu Jingchen suddenly cared so much about the Imperial Noble Consort.
"I've lost her..." Yu Jingchen couldn't hear anything else, he kept muttering to himself as he walked outside.
In a daze, Yu Jingchen seemed to see Nan Zhiyun. She was standing in front of him, smiling at him.
"Your Majesty, I want to hug you..." Nan Zhiyun opened her arms to him.
"Your Majesty, it hurts so much..." Nan Zhiyun sat on the ground, pitifully acting spoiled.
"His Majesty……"
Yu Jingchen watched as she called his name; she needed him… he had to go find her…
"Your Majesty, why don't you like me...?"
"Your Majesty, don't you want me anymore?"
"Your Majesty, I regret it..."
"Your Majesty... if there is an afterlife, I wish that we would never meet again in any of our lifetimes..."
Nan Zhiyun cried, looking at herself with disappointment.
“No… I didn’t… Yun’er, I’m here. I was wrong. I didn’t abandon you. I’m sorry. I lost you. I’ll come find you, okay? You’re right there… I’ve come to find you, Yun’er…” Yu Jingchen wanted to explain, but Nan Zhiyun’s eyes seemed to show disappointment as she looked at him…
Yun'er! Yu Jingchen tried to grab her, but he couldn't. Nan Zhiyun had completely disappeared, and Yu Jingchen fell to the ground.
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously, but Yu Jingchen's mind was filled with Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun didn't want him anymore, his little Yun'er had completely abandoned him, and his little Yun'er hated her... resented him...
In the forty-eighth year of the Tiansheng era, the nation was in mourning, and the entire country wore white mourning clothes. The son of Consort Shu... oh, it should be the son of Imperial Noble Consort Nan, ascended the throne. The Imperial Noble Consort was posthumously honored as Empress, and the Emperor and Empress were buried together...
Ending 2
—————————— End of text
Finally... those who didn't give a good review, shouldn't they? Those who didn't follow me, shouldn't they follow me?
The story continues!
For those who didn't understand the ending... Ending 2 means that all the previous rebirths were just a dream.
I wrote two endings, so you can choose which one to watch. If you just want them to be happy, you can just watch the first one and ignore the second one, haha.
