Bai's nose suddenly stung with tears, and she glared at him sadly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, you'll definitely be fine."
Youyi said he has three days to live, and his time hasn't come yet.
Xuanyuan Peng reached out and gently stroked Bai Shi's delicate and tender cheek: "Ya'er, why are you always so young and beautiful?"
They were the same age, but he looked much, much older than her.
Bai's eyes reddened, but she dared not cry. She lay down next to him and buried her face in his chest: "Isn't that because you spoil me?"
If it weren't for his protection, how could she have lived so carefree and arrogantly in this capital city?
Without him, she might have been bullied to the point of being nothing but bones by others long ago.
Xuanyuan Peng reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her hair with affection: "Fortunately, it is Zhan'er who succeeded to the throne. Even when I am not here, Zhan'er can protect you!"
He dared not imagine how Su Huiyan and Consort Liang would humiliate her if Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Zhi succeeded to the throne.
Fortunately, they are all gone now, and no one can bully her anymore. He can leave in peace now.
Bai's tears could no longer be contained and gushed out, but she dared not cry out loud, and could only bury her head in his arms and weep silently.
Even at this point, he still thinks about her.
Even if Zhan'er hadn't become emperor, she would still have had the ability to protect herself.
Not to mention that Zhan'er can protect her, Ning'er is also the Crown Princess of Xiliang. She can rely on herself. She is a disciple of Xuanmen. Putting aside other skills, she can easily fake her death. So he doesn't need to worry about her at all.
Bai's hot tears soaked his clothes, burning his heart and causing it to clench with pain: "Ya'er, after I'm gone, go and see the beautiful landscape of Dongchu for me. I've never been able to travel in my entire life."
He was trapped in the capital city and the palace his whole life, like a puppet being manipulated. Fortunately, in the end he finally accepted his true feelings, married her as his empress, and fell in love with her. It was a good thing that his life wasn't wasted.
“Okay.” Bai Shi choked up as she agreed: “I will see the green mountains and clear waters, the sunset and the lunar eclipse, the desert and grassland, the glaciers and snow-capped mountains for you… I will see everything you haven’t seen. I am you, and you are me.”
Bai's words, "I am you, and you are me," instantly brought tears to Xuan Yuanpeng's eyes. He took a deep breath to suppress his sadness and said in a hoarse voice, "If you feel lonely then, bring our Xiao Bao with you. With him by your side, you won't feel lonely."
"Okay." No matter what Xuan Yuanpeng said, Bai agreed: "I'll bring Xiao Bao with me. Xiao Bao being with me is just like you being with me. How could I feel lonely!"
Bai's voice was full of longing and reluctance, which made Xuan Yuanpeng's nose tingle again. He gently rubbed the top of Bai's head, buried his head in her hair and said in a muffled voice, "Ya'er, why do you have to be so good? If you had any flaws, if you weren't so perfect, I wouldn't be so reluctant to leave."
He had finally managed to marry her, and he longed to spend as much time as possible with her!
He accompanied her to see the mountains and rivers, to watch the sun and the moon... but unfortunately, he never had that chance again.
Bai could no longer hold back her sobs. He couldn't bear to part with her, and she couldn't bear to let him go either.
Zong Jiu, who was waiting outside, was already in tears.
The Emperor had finally achieved his wish, but his days were numbered. He had just married his beloved yesterday, and today he was to die...
God is unfair!
After a day's travel, Su Xuening, Su Yun'an, and Pei Luofei finally returned to Xiliang.
As the Vermilion Bird divine beast landed, Duanmu Junyu seemed to sense it and ran out.
"Mother!" As soon as the Vermilion Bird divine beast landed, Su Yun'an flew off its back and rushed directly into Duanmu Junyu's arms.
Duanmu Junyu hugged Su Yun'an, and asked with some concern, "Why are you back so soon? Where are Prime Minister Lan and General Shao?"
What happened? You were only gone for a few days and then came back?
And how did these two manage to lose Lan Jingxiao and Shao Jingling?
Before Su Yun'an could speak, Su Xuening also dismounted from the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast: "We came back to pick up Xiaobao. Prime Minister Lan and General Shao are still in Dongchu. After picking up Xiaobao, we still have to go back."
Duanmu Junyu frowned: "Didn't you say that Dongchu was not safe and that Xiaobao should be left in Xiliang? Why are you taking Xiaobao back now?"
“The matter in Dongchu has been almost resolved, and Dongchu is safe now,” Su Xuening said, then explained, “The Emperor of Dongchu is dying, and he wants to see Xiaobao one last time.”
Duanmu Junyu was taken aback again: "Is it that serious? Even Doctor Luo and Doctor You can't cure it?"
The medical skills of Doctor Luo and Doctor You were the most outstanding among all the people she had ever seen.
Su Xuening sighed softly: "He was afflicted with the Puppet Gu, which is incurable. Even if his martial uncle helps him remove the Gu, he only has three days to live. It's already the third day, and he's probably going to die before he sees the sun tomorrow."
Duanmu Junyu was once again quite shocked: "So fast? Even if we pick up Xiaobao now, he won't be able to see him."
Su Xuening smiled bitterly: "That's what I said too, but he said that even if he couldn't see Xiaobao one last time, he hoped that the eldest grandson of the emperor would see him off. I had no choice but to come back to pick up Xiaobao."
Duanmu Junyu wasn't an unreasonable person: "Since that's the case, then you can go and pick up Xiaobao."
Xiao Bao is also the eldest grandson of the Eastern Chu royal family, and as a grandfather, she can understand his desire to see his grandson.
"Xiao Bao is in the main hall, he's quite energetic right now." Duanmu Junyu led Su Xuening and Su Yun'an to the main hall.
Sure enough, they saw Xiao Bao lying on the phoenix bed, kicking his legs incessantly.
Seeing Xiao Bao's enthusiasm, Su Xuening couldn't help but laugh and quickly went over to tease him: "Xiao Bao, Mommy's back! Did our little Bao miss Mommy?"
Xiao Bao seemed to recognize Su Xuening and immediately reached out and kicked at her.
Duanmu Junyu felt sorry for Xiaobao: "You should hug him. He's become more irritable these past few days while you were away."
Xiao Bao never used to kick his legs like that!
Su Xuening quickly picked up Xiaobao and kissed him affectionately several times: "Oh~ our Xiaobao must have missed his mother, and his mother must have missed him too."
Although she had only been away from Xiaobao for a few days, it felt like she had been away from him for a very, very long time.
Xiao Bao probably smelled her milky scent, and kept rubbing against her chest while kicking his legs anxiously.
Seeing Xiao Bao's anxious look, Su Xuening frowned: "Is Xiao Bao hungry?"
Duanmu Junyu sighed helplessly: "Isn't he hungry? Since you left, I've arranged for several wet nurses, but this little guy won't drink a drop of their milk."
