Xie Jin refused several promotions in his life and always served as the prefect of the provincial capital. Under his governance, people here did not pick up lost items on the streets and did not lock their doors at night.
He was deeply loved by the people, and he and Qingyin stayed together until old age, enjoying a lifelong love for each other.
Xie Jin passed away peacefully at the age of 99.
Qingyin gently kissed his forehead and whispered, "Thank you Xiaojin."
It seems like it was just yesterday.
[Ding!] Xiao Qi’s long-lost voice rang in her mind.
[Congratulations, Yinyin! The mission is successfully completed. Let's start the next one right away.]
Qingyin felt that she had just stepped into Xiaoqi's virtual space, and the next second she was pulled out again.
"No, why are you so impatient? I haven't even said a word yet."
【Hehehe... naturally I want this. 】
Qingyin had a bad feeling, "Don't laugh like that, it makes me nervous."
Xiao Qi pretended not to hear, "Okay, in the next small world, your identity is the Queen Mother of the Northern Dynasty."
[The late emperor was seriously ill, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had calculated that your horoscope indicated a lucky star. With one imperial decree, you became the Empress of Blessings.]
After you entered the palace, the late emperor's health did gradually improve, and he truly considered you a lucky star. Feeling good about himself, he wanted to favor you, but the idea came in the morning, and he died at noon.
[The late emperor had very few children in his lifetime. If it weren't for the sudden news three years ago that a prince had been castrated, he might have still chosen a man from the royal family.]
Qingyin: "Is he really the late emperor's son?"
She felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
[Indeed, Nangong Yuan's mother was a maid tending flowers and plants in the palace. The late emperor, while drunk, forced his favor on her. It just so happened that she was the maid who was supposed to be released that year. Unexpectedly, after leaving the palace, she discovered she was pregnant. She knew that with her status, the possibility of killing the mother and leaving the child was too high, so after learning of her pregnancy, she fled as far as she could.]
[When Nangong Yuan came of age, the emperor suddenly learned of this matter and ordered an investigation. Unexpectedly, the investigation revealed that he still had a son. The late emperor was also ruthless. After confirming that Nangong Yuan was his son, he immediately ordered his mother to be killed and the murder was disguised as a fire.]
[But he underestimated Nangong Yuan. Nangong Yuan soon found out about this. For the past three years, the late emperor thought he had reached the age of knowing his destiny, but in fact, Nangong Yuan had poisoned him.]
Qingyin swallowed, "So, who is the target of this mission?"
【Nangong Yuan.】
All right.
My heart finally died.
The moonlight is like water.
Qingyin opened her eyes and found herself lying on the stone table in the pavilion.
There was a bottle of wine lying on the table.
She rubbed her swollen temples and just as she was about to stand up, she found that her body was a little weak.
"careful!"
Qingyin subconsciously avoided the hand that was supporting her.
"Qingniang." The man's hand fell in the air, and his voice was filled with unspeakable bitterness.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Qingyin took two steps back first.
At the same time, Xiao Qi's voice also rang in his mind, "Yin Yin, this is Prince Su, the late emperor's half-brother and your ex-fiancé."
Qingyin, "Ex? Fiancé?"
[Yes, you and Prince Su were betrothed since childhood, but after your fate was predicted to be a lucky star, you begged him to take you away, or even to fight for you, but he said that he could not disobey the emperor's order and broke off the engagement.]
Qingyin curled her lips in mockery, but it quickly faded away as she whispered, "Your Highness shouldn't be here. You'd better leave quickly."
Nangong Yi stared at Qingyin's frowning face, secretly clenched his fists, then opened them again, suppressing his words: "You, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Qingyin frowned slightly, as if puzzled.
Nangong Yi suddenly hugged her into his arms, "Qingniang, come with me."
He regretted it.
He shouldn't give up on her just because he was afraid of his brother's suspicion.
Qingyin was startled and quickly pushed him away, but he held her too tightly, so she could only force out a few tears. "There are so many people in the palace, can you please let me go first?"
Under the night.
On a big tree, a person suddenly opened his dozing eyes.
Half of his face was hidden behind a silver mask, and his true appearance could not be seen.
But he could see the two people in the pavilion under the tree clearly.
Coming here was an unintentional move, but before he could sit down, a woman came over with wine.
He had no choice but to jump onto the tree.
I didn't think I'd go anywhere, so it was fine to stay up there.
But now, it seems a bit abrupt.
Although I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it was still ungentlemanly.
"Qingniang, you know how I feel about you. As long as you are willing, I am willing to give up my status, leave the capital, and be an ordinary couple with you."
Nangong Yi's voice sounded a little excited at first, but then it was filled with pleading.
From Nangong Yan's perspective, Prince Su was loosely holding the woman's shoulders. He clearly wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, but was afraid of being pushed away.
Just as he was about to look away, he was met with an exceptionally beautiful face and a pair of red eyes.
A strange look flashed across Nangong Yan's eyes.
If what he knew was correct, this woman should be that one.
That wine is really overbearing, and this body is really weak and vulnerable.
Qingyin was a bit troubled by the current situation. It seemed that coaxing was no longer enough. "Prince Su, from the moment you broke off the engagement, you should have known that it was impossible for us to be together. Today I will pretend that I have never seen you."
The last sentence was suddenly retracted.
I've said this twice, and saying it again seems like I'm half-hearted.
"You are blaming me. Indeed, you should blame me." Nangong Yi wanted to take another step forward, but his foot tripped on the stone bench next to him. Qingyin took the opportunity to turn around several times and stopped at the waterside pavilion under the pavilion.
Nangong Yi stared at her intently, "You promised me that we would love each other without a doubt."
Qingyin's heart was calm.
She turned her head and looked at the shimmering water. "Prince Su, you forgot, this is what I said before I entered the palace. If we really want to love each other without doubt, it should be between the emperor and me."
As soon as these words were spoken.
A hint of interest appeared on Nangong Yan's face.
It should be the late emperor.
Well, he's only been there for a month, so it's normal that he hasn't gotten used to it yet.
Nangong Yi was like a trapped animal, the bloodshot in his eyes intensified, "I won't allow you to say that, I know you are deliberately trying to piss me off, I'm taking you away now..."
As he spoke, he began to play the Qingyin.
Suddenly, a few faint voices of chatting were heard on the road not far away.
Although she couldn't hear it clearly, the sound was coming towards her.
If she was discovered, she would have a secret meeting with someone before the late emperor's body was cold.
Qingyin was a little scared. She whispered, "If you want me to die, then just come over here."
