Chapter 2277 [Shang Xie] Willing to Fulfill the Promise in the Next Life
The smile was light.
It was as light as a feather, without any weight, and fell lightly into Xia Fuyi's eyes, but it made her lose all her strength.
She stared at Chang Sun Chi in a daze, then sat back and held him in her arms.
"What's wrong with you?"
She wondered seriously and anxiously,
"Why did you suddenly vomit so much blood?"
Chang Sun Chi did not say anything. He just raised his eyes and looked at Xia Fuyi steadily, as if he wanted to carve her face deeply into his eyes and in his heart, his gaze focused to the point of obsession.
But the coughing continued, and each cough made him spit out more blood.
Xia Fuyi looked at the blood, her breathing became more and more rapid, her fingers trembled more and more violently, and there was almost panic in her eyes.
"Chang... Chang Sun Chi, please say something... What's wrong with you?"
She looked up and down at the slender body wrapped in black clothes without finding her purpose, and was so anxious that she couldn't speak clearly.
Until the emperor reached out and touched her cheek.
The blood-stained finger gently touched the corner of her eye and felt a few scattered traces of moisture.
Xia Fuyi was suddenly pointed at by this cold hand. She lowered her head blankly, and the pair of light-colored eyes were still looking at her with a slight smile. They were still so beautiful, more beautiful than her amber stone, but as dim as the sunset glow.
The gaze fell on her face, gentle and slightly cold.
Chang Sun Chi smiled, his voice almost inaudible.
“I’ve fulfilled a lot of my wishes.”
He said slowly and weakly,
"It's a pity that I have to break my promise to you."
"Xia Fuyi."
He said her name so tenderly,
"It's my first time seeing you, and I'm really happy."
Her clumsy confession, when read out by him at this moment, carried another kind of deep and silent emotion, yet so heavy that it was about to overflow.
The emperor's fingers gently brushed the corners of her eyes.
"The mountains are gone, the rivers are dry, the winter thunders roar, the summer snows... yet I dare to break off with you..."
"I wish... to keep my promise in the next life and be with you... until we grow old together."
His voice became lower and lower, and finally, along with his affectionate gaze, it fell into the dust and disappeared completely.
Xia Fuyi reached out to grab the hanging hand, but found nothing.
The eyes closed.
The last bit of dim glow disappeared, and dusk finally covered the entire earth.
Lian Tang and Qingze rushed over anxiously.
Xia Fuyi did not react, only a tear fell from the corner of her eye, which never cried, and melted into the blood on the ground.

The military doctor was finally secretly called in, but he was still helpless against the comatose Changsun Chi. In the end, he had to use the only hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum he brought to the army to keep him alive.
After checking Chang Sun Chi's pulse, the military doctor, who was already over fifty years old, knelt in front of Xia Fuyi in the tent, his eyes red and his voice trembling,
"Your Majesty, please lead the army back to the court as soon as possible..."
He turned towards the direction where Chang Sun Chi lay, choking with sobs and almost unable to speak.
"Even if Your Majesty must leave, you must do so amidst the blazing fragrance of the Divine Capital! It's still in time to catch the final blooms if you go back now. Any later... I'm afraid it will be... too late!"
Lian Tang couldn't hold back any longer after hearing this, and tears rolled down his face.
Qingze closed his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly.
Xia Fuyi had no expression on her face. She sat at the desk and watched the military doctor stagger out of the tent.
The night is dim and the stars are sparse outside the tent.
She was stunned for a long time before turning around and looking at the two black-robed guards standing in the tent.
"He's not cured of the poison yet, is he?"
