Chapter 59: Final Light



As soon as Shang Yuanshan entered the yard, he heard the sound coming from the house.

"Grandfather, you will be fine. Mengli will go find Dr. Mosang for you."

"Mengli, don't go. Grandfather has lived enough. Ahem... "

Shang Yuanshan couldn't help but shed tears when he heard the weak voice of General Shen. He came to the Shen Mansion impulsively today. He really didn't have the face to see General Shen.

Shang Yuanshan recalled his youth. At that time, the late emperor was afraid that General Shen and Duke Shang would become more powerful than him, so he chose people to replace them.

It just so happened that he had made military achievements at that time, and was discovered by the late emperor, who wanted to support him to replace General Shen in guarding Guanggu City.

What the late emperor didn't know was that he had this talent precisely because General Shen was his master.

The master knew that the late emperor had long been resentful of him, but in order to leave a good general for the Xiling Kingdom, the master accepted him as his disciple and taught him military tactics and martial arts, but he did not make their master-disciple relationship public.

Even that time when he made meritorious service, it was his master who gave him the opportunity and allowed him to make military achievements, which led to the late emperor discovering him.

Back then, he knelt in front of his master and promised that he would defend the territory of Xiling Kingdom to the death. But later, because his mother broke the oath, he resigned and returned to the capital.

Shang Yuanshan felt very guilty and was too ashamed to see his master.

Shang Yuanshan retreated and was about to turn around and leave. Lin Siqing, who came later, looked at Shang Yuanshan in confusion. "Yuanshan, why are you still standing here?"

"I...I."

Shang Yangyang sniffed hard. [There is a smell of death, Daddy, please go in quickly, General Shen is about to die.]

When Shang Yuanshan heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts, he became really anxious and ran over and opened the door.

As soon as Shang Yuanshan entered, he saw General Shen lying on the bed, looking haggard and dying. It felt like he would close his eyes and never wake up at any time.

A hoarse voice came: "Is it Yuanshan?"

Shang Yuanshan ran to the bed and knelt down. "Master, I am an unfilial person. I have not been able to see you in these years."

Old General Shen tremblingly raised his weathered hand, gently placed it on Shang Yuanshan's face, and rubbed his fingers on Shang Yuanshan's face.

"Yuanshan, your teacher has never blamed you. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. There is nothing wrong with you choosing to take care of your mother. Moreover, you have trained Yan Lei for Xiling State. He is a good general. Very good."

"Master..." Shang Yuanshan, this iron-blooded man burst into tears.

Suddenly, a baby's tender voice came from the door. "Aiyaya~"

[Brother, please carry me over quickly. I can save General Shen.]

General Shen looked towards the door. "Siqing, you're here too. This is your child, right?"

"Yes." Lin Siqing was sobbing and unable to speak. She took Shang Yangyang from Shang Yanqing's arms and carried her to General Shen's bedside.

The Shen family did not stop them and they gave their seats beside the bed to the two of them.

Shen Mengli stood back and sobbed. Shang Yanqing took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Mengli.

Shen Mengli was no longer in the mood to think about love affairs. She just took the handkerchief without saying anything.

"Siqing, seeing that you and Yuanshan are still so close, I feel relieved."

"Yiyaya~~~" Shang Yangyang pushed forward with all her strength, and climbed directly onto the bed. She crawled in front of General Shen, and looked at the little old man in front of her with her little eyes.

[Well, he is older than my grandfather, but he is only in his sixties. An old general who defends the country should not die so young. Today, Xiao Yangyang will bless you to live longer.]

General Shen's hand gently stroked Shang Yangyang's little face, and Shang Yangyang felt the calluses on General Shen's hands.

She looked up at General Shen and smiled blankly, then stretched out her little hand and held General Shen's hand.

A warm current flowed from Shang Yangyang's hand into General Shen's big palm. General Shen looked at the baby in front of him with surprise.

He felt as if vitality was flowing into his exhausted body, and he had a feeling that he would have no problem living to be a hundred years old.

Shang Yangyang stared at General Shen with a smile, and heard General Shen's hearty laughter with full energy.

The Shen family cried even harder now. They knew that people could have a last moment of lucidity before they died. This was the last moment of lucidity.

Shen Mengli: "Grandfather, woooo ...

Shang Yanqing heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts. He wanted to comfort Shen Mengli, but he didn't know how to explain this magical thing.

A voice came from outside. "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."

Then Shen Qianmo entered the room, followed closely by Emperor Yuan Ming.

"Father~"

Everyone in the room bowed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

Emperor Yuan Ming: "No need to be polite."

Shen Qianmo ran to the bed. She looked at the baby in her father's arms. Her father's condition didn't look like he was dying at all. She thought of his last breath. Her legs went weak in an instant and she sat down on the edge of the bed, tears streaming down her face.

"Father is at fault. It's all because of me that you and your elder brother's family left the capital and went to Daxing City." Shen Qianmo burst into tears.

Emperor Yuan Ming behind him was heartbroken and felt guilty because it was he who agreed with General Shen's decision.

He was selfish. In order to make Shen Qianmo the queen, he moved her family away from the capital.

Just when Emperor Yuan Ming was feeling uncomfortable, he suddenly heard the voice of a baby.

[Auntie Beauty, please don't cry. I have helped General Shen to extend his life. He has no problem living to be a hundred years old now.]

Emperor Yuan Ming felt that he was hallucinating. He looked at the baby in General Shen’s arms in shock.

General Shen held Shang Yangyang in one hand and wiped Shen Qianmo's tears with the other. "Qianmo, don't cry. Father feels better now."

The Shen family cried even harder this time. They all felt that General Shen was hallucinating and thought he was fine.

Over the past few months, Shang Yangyang has been assimilated into the baby's body. Apart from remembering that she is the Ghost Emperor and knowing the plot of the book, she is becoming more and more like a child.

[Ah, why did everyone cry even harder after hearing that General Shen was well? ]

Shang Yangyang couldn't figure it out, and she felt her nose getting sore and started crying.

General Shen coaxed Shang Yangyang in his arms with a distressed look. "Don't cry, don't cry, dear baby."

Shang Yangyang slowly stopped crying. She stared at General Shen with a smile again, and even stretched out her little hand to pull General Shen's beard.

[Hey, this beard can be braided into a pigtail. ]

Emperor Yuan Ming stayed where he was. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. No one present had any reaction. He felt that there was something wrong with him. He could actually hear the baby's voice.
