Half a month had passed since Changsun Wuji's funeral, but the courtiers in the Dajing court still seemed to have not recovered from the shock.
They have always been both respectful and fearful of him, more of a fear, because he is almost like a god or devil, and there is no one like him anymore in the world.
Many court officials had secretly cursed him, saying that he was a traitor and must not die a good death!
But when this person is really gone, they feel empty again.
Dajing is still Dajing, but without the Regent Zhangsun Wuji, it seems that Dajing is not the same Dajing anymore.
They quietly observed the young emperor on the throne, trying to read something on his face.
But the young emperor is still the same young emperor, and has even become more reliable overnight.
After the court session, Chang Sun Qing went directly to the Regent's Palace.
On the way, he asked Xiangyang, "How are mother and Jiuer?"
"The latest news from Doctor Wuqi is that the princess hasn't woken up yet, but Miss Jiu has basically recovered as usual."
A month ago, the Regent died.
Baili Feiyue, who was holding Changsun Wuji, fainted on him and has not woken up since.
Jiuer at the door spat out a mouthful of blood with a blank look in her eyes. Then she suddenly developed a strange disease that she had never had before. She had no idea what the disease was and had no way to treat it. The disease made her suffer an excruciating pain that was worse than death.
Now, Jiuer has recovered.
As long as she doesn't get sick and recovers, she will be just like a normal person.
There is absolutely no clue.
When Changsun Qing arrived, Jiuer and Wuji were both by Baili Feiyue's bed.
Seeing him, Wuqi took the initiative to say, "Senior sister fainted at that time, probably due to extreme pain. Xiao Jiuer and I just had a comprehensive discussion, and Senior sister hasn't woken up yet. I'm afraid that her subconscious mind doesn't want to wake up."
Chang Sunqing nodded, "Thank you, Junior Master, for your hard work."
Wuqi forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I will go and boil the medicine first."
The young emperor in front of him was extremely sad and grief-stricken, but he managed to hold himself up... Alas.
Chang Sun Qing looked at Baili Feiyue who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the bed, and felt suffocated by the pain in his heart.
Mother, what should I do?
You will feel better...
Jiuer tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, let's go out and talk."
Chang Sunqing followed her out, and they sat down on a stone bench in the flower bed in the yard.
"Although I have recovered now and everything is back to normal. In fact, it is not because of the inappropriate medicine that I took that worked. I have discussed this with Junior Master Wuqi, and neither of us knows what is wrong with my body. However, as long as the symptoms are not cured, I will definitely get sick again."
"Brother, I don't want to die, and I can't die. I have to find a way to save myself." Jiuer went straight to the point.
The nails almost sank into the flesh.
If she died, what would mother do...
"Don't tell my mother about my illness when she wakes up. In the past two years..."
She closed her eyes and then said, "I don't want my mother to worry about me."
It was not until her father vomited blood and collapsed that she realized that her father and mother had been covering up the truth for the past two years.
Just to prevent them from worrying about their children!
"You're leaving?"
Jiuer nodded, "Mother won't doubt it. I've never been able to stay still and I've always been on the move. Wait until I figure out the pattern of the disease and avoid the outbreak period and come back to see mother."
If I stay in the palace forever, I can only wait for death.
The most important thing is that mother wakes up. If she suddenly falls ill again one day and mother sees her, I don’t know how worried she will be.
"Mother... if she misses father, let her concentrate on thinking about him. I know her personality. If she knew about my illness, she would definitely try her best to cure it. But in her current state, she can't bear it if she has to worry about me at the same time."
"I will help you find a way to cure your illness," said Chang Sun Qing.
"I know that if I give you time, you will definitely find a way. But brother, father is gone, mother and sister need your care. The entire Dajing also needs your management. Not to mention, if someone thinks that they can take advantage of the departure of father to do something..."
The girl smiled, "Brother, you are a human, not a god. You don't have to take on everything, and you don't have to be strong enough to protect everyone."
He is indeed not a god, and he does not have such powerful abilities as his father.
But……
The young emperor lowered his purple eyes slightly.
He even noticed his father's abnormality earlier than Jiuer.
Because he ascended the throne early and became the emperor of Dajing.
When he discovered that the threats to Dajing from the four countries were "eliminated" by various methods, presenting a delicate balance and peace.
He vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Later, my father returned from southern Xinjiang to deal with the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother.
Especially when he used the same trick against Nanny Kang.
He couldn't even help showing it in front of his father.
His father told him that he would not die.
He will not die until he grows up enough to protect his mother under any circumstances.
The little boy was so conflicted at that time.
He chose to believe in his father.
He didn't want to disappoint his father, he wanted to be more capable.
But he didn't dare.
He hoped to grow up quickly to what his father hoped for and not disappoint him, but he also didn't want that day to come so soon.
Later, Xiao Yudu was born.
Jiuer also discovered that her father was acting abnormally, but her father and mother deceived her again.
He kept pretending he didn't know either.
Or, he is deceiving himself...
"Brother, mother should be waking up soon."
Jiuer's voice brought Chang Sunqing back to reality.
To say I understand.
Among the siblings Changsun Qing and Jiuer, it is obvious that Changsun Qing knows Changsun Wuji better, while Jiuer knows Baili Feiyue better.
Jiuer said, "Even if mother doesn't want to wake up, she will wake up soon. She is still thinking about us in her heart."
She pursed her lips and said, "I'll leave soon. Before mother wakes up."
"You can go out, but you can't play missing." Chang Sun Qing agreed.
"How could that be? Brother, the palace is my home."
Jiuer went to see Changsun Yu and talked a lot with her sister who still didn't talk. After leaving her with a lot of things that she didn't know whether she would use or not, Jiuer looked at Baili Feiyue again.
The little girl gently took her mother's hand and placed it on her face, and said softly, "Mom, I have to go out for something."
She said softly, "Mother, no matter where we are, or whether we are separated by the Yin and Yang, you, me, my brother, and my sister, we will always be together. Forever."
Jiuer guessed correctly. Baili Feiyue woke up in the evening of that day.
There wasn't much sadness on her face. She just asked about Changsun Wuji's funeral and then sat in the yard.
At this time of year, summer flowers are in full bloom.
Although her husband was born in the dirtiest, coldest and darkest corner of Dajing, he died in the warm sunlight of the blooming summer flowers.
So Changsun Wuji, in your next life, you won’t be so cold, right?
The people and things you encounter around you must be as beautiful as summer flowers, right?
She told herself, she would!
During the next six months, people like Mu Qing and others did not dare to mention Changsun Wuji in front of Baili Feiyue, and they were all worried about Baili Feiyue.
Baili Feiyue, on the other hand, was acting as usual.
He personally supervises and checks his eldest grandson's learning progress every day.
From time to time, people would keep an eye on where Jiuer, who was looking for the treasure map outside, had gone.
As for any disaster-stricken area in Dajing, she would help whenever she could.
Occasionally, I would make appointments with Mu Qing and others to go out for an outing.
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year and the Spring Festival is approaching.
Jiuer returned home exhausted and proudly gave Baili Feiyue many rare medicinal herbs that she had found.
Baili Feiyue also had it sent to the imperial medicine warehouse so that it could be used wherever it was needed.
New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve dinner.
Although there were only four people, there were five pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
An extra seat was also reserved next to Baili Feiyue.
Baili Feiyue's eyes curved, "Changsun Wuji, Happy Chinese New Year!"
Jiuer also smiled, "Father, Happy Chinese New Year~"
In addition to Changsun Yu, Baili Feiyue and the other two also drank some wine, and Baili Feiyue drank the most.
After staying up all night, Jiuer took care of Baili Feiyue who had just finished washing up and went to bed, "Mom, can I sleep with you?"
"Go, you are too old. Go back to your room and sleep."
Jiuer looked eagerly, but Baili Feiyue refused to accept it.
After Jiuer was driven away by Baili Feiyue, she went out and saw her brother standing in the shadow not far away.
The two exchanged glances silently.
After Jiu'er left, Baili Feiyue in the room smiled and said, "Qing'er baby, I really can't sleep if you stay outside like this. I'm also worried about whether you will catch a cold."
"Go back to bed."
In the darkness of the night, the young man moved his lips and finally said, "Yes, mother."
This year is the first New Year since his father left, and he and Jiuer are worried.
but……
Late night.
A figure led a horse out from the side door of the palace.
Amid the sound of firecrackers that continued all night long, the men on horseback headed straight out of the city.
Qingfeng Mountain, outside of Beijing.
Few people come to Qingfeng Mountain because there is a small amount of miasma all year round as a natural barrier.
Many precious herbs also grow here.
Today, there is still a person buried here, the Regent of Dajing, Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and according to his wishes, his tomb was located in Qingfeng Mountain.
Baili Feiyue used to come to Qingfeng Mountain most often to collect herbs.
It was also here that I saw Changsun Wuji’s true face for the first time. At that time, he was Feng Jiuhuang.
Also in Qingfeng Mountain, Baili Feiyue first met Changsun Qing, who was still a young master at the time.
At present, there are certainly many tomb keepers in Qingfeng Mountain, both in the open and in the dark, both on the mountain and in the dark.
But when the guards of the mausoleum saw the people on horseback, they hid in the darkness and did not come out to stop them.
Because they recognized the person, it was...the princess!!
Baili Feiyue drank some wine and had a slightly tipsy look on her face.
She stepped into Qingfeng Mountain and smiled with her head tilted.
Changsun Wuji, I'm here to celebrate the New Year with you~
She walked straight towards the mausoleum on the mountain.
But she didn't go to the front of the mausoleum.
Any imperial tomb or large mausoleum must have an entrance.
It's just very secretive, and almost no one alive knows where the entrance is.
But Baili Feiyue knew.
It's not like she hasn't visited Changsun Wuji in the past six months.
Half a year was enough time for her to find the entrance to the mausoleum mechanism.
When the tomb keepers saw her coming, they all stepped away.
So as not to disturb Baili Feiyue.
However, who knew that Baili Feiyue was not as they imagined, coming to pay tribute in the middle of the night because of the deep love between husband and wife, but entered the mausoleum quietly from the entrance!
Although this mausoleum is not an imperial mausoleum, it is of considerable size.
Of course, it was impossible to build such a mausoleum in just half a month. It was only after Changsun Wuji passed away that Changsun Qing got the drawings given to him by the shadow guard left by Changsun Wuji. Only then did he know that his father had even had his own mausoleum built in the past year.
After Baili Feiyue entered the mausoleum, the air in the underground palace was unexpectedly not turbid or dark, and the space was not cramped.
On the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, there are eternal lamps that will not go out for hundreds of years.
This mausoleum was even built entirely according to the layout of ground houses.
Even... there is no mechanism at all!
Baili Feiyue stared blankly at the underground palace in front of him, thought of something, and suddenly rushed towards the main tomb chamber like crazy.
The underground palace was not small, and there were no traps in the places where she rushed through!
Not at all.
When he finally rushed into the main tomb chamber and saw the heavy golden nanmu coffin, Baili Feiyue's legs had lost strength and he could not stand steadily.
She fell to her knees on the cold floor tiles, her knees hurting.
But she didn't care about that, she got up and rushed towards the coffin.
The Phoebe nanmu coffin is gloomy and heavy, exuding a rich and unique woody fragrance.
Baili Feiyue stumbled towards the coffin, "Changsun Wuji, have you been waiting for me to come..."
Trembling, she pushed the coffin lid.
The reaction force even made her stagger.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Changsun Wuji..." She didn't know if she was drunk or what, but she leaned against the coffin and cried like rain.
She gritted her teeth and used her inner strength.
The coffin lid moved away inch by inch before her eyes.
The halo of light from the eternal lamp gradually shone into the coffin.
Even though it was golden nanmu, his body, which was different from that of ordinary people and had long been dilapidated, was doubly decayed.
Her eldest grandson Wuji turned into a pile of dry bones.
Baili Feiyue felt as if her throat was being strangled and her heart was suffocating.
She stared at the person in the coffin.
Those eerie white bones, are they the Changsun Wuji, who had an unparalleled appearance and an unpredictable and treacherous temperament?
That Changsun Wuji who makes people both fearful and unable to look away?
Even the rich wood fragrance of Phoebe nanmu cannot completely neutralize and cover up the faint smell of decay...
Changsun Wuji...
Baili Feiyue slowly lowered her body.
She hugged the cold bones carefully, as if afraid to hurt them.
She opened her mouth slightly, and a heart-wrenching, broken sob that was suppressed in her throat overflowed.
She thought she had accepted the fact that he had left long ago, and that she had long been accustomed to life and death.
But I still feel deeply that a person's death is so despairing.
There will never again be a Changsun Wuji in this world.
She gently put down the bones in her arms and entered the coffin herself.
He lay carefully beside the skeleton in the black robe.
She leaned her head slightly towards the bones next to her, as if they were not bones but a living person.
Just like in the past, she leaned on him, reading medical books and eating melon seeds, and the man closed his eyes and hugged her, gently scratching her face with his fingers.
She turned around and bit the naughty finger!
Baili Feiyue fell asleep like this.
In a daze, she turned sideways and bumped into something.
She opened her eyes and saw that his arm was crooked and his skull was also crooked by her.
Baili Feiyue supported him and held him in her arms.
She drank the most alcohol before, maybe the alcohol was too strong.
Baili Feiyue stared blankly at the silent, cold bones in her arms.
I almost curled up in pain.
"Changsun Wuji, I miss you."
"Zhangsun Wuji... I feel so uncomfortable..."
The man's face appeared in my mind, and he sighed as usual, "Little lunatic."
"I'm not a little lunatic... Changsun Wuji... I just feel uncomfortable."
"My beautiful lady, I feel uncomfortable..."
"Can you hug me... Hug me, please..."
She hugged the cold bones, wishing she would never wake up again.
Outside the main tomb chamber, a little girl who arrived earlier than Jiuer and Changsunqing was watching this side quietly.
Soon, Jiuer and Changsunqing arrived in a hurry.
Seeing the scenes happening at the coffin, Jiuer felt a tightness in her heart and almost had another attack.
She took several deep breaths and tried to suppress the feeling that she might have a seizure.
They didn't say a word until Baili Feiyue, who was not sure whether she was awake or not, fell asleep again in the coffin, hugging the bones.
Chang Sunqing walked over and separated Baili Feiyue from the bones in her arms. Then she carried Baili Feiyue out.
He was the same, not even daring to take another look at the bones in the coffin.
But I can't let my father sleep in such a mess.
He asked Jiuer to come and support Baili Feiyue, while he went over and respectfully straightened out the crooked bones and put his father's clothes right.
Changsun Qing carried Baili Feiyue down the mountain.
Baili Feiyue didn't wake up during the whole process.
It was not until they returned to the palace that Jiuer personally washed Baili Feiyue's body and let her lie back on the bed.
She didn't wake up.
Jiuer looked at Baili Feiyue for a while, tucked the quilt in for her, and then tiptoed out.
Outside, Changsun Qing and Changsun Yu were both there.
Jiuer looked at her eldest grandson, her little sister.
She even noticed her mother leaving the house before herself and her brother, and followed her out first.
Jiuer looked at Chang Sunqing again, "What's going on in father's mausoleum?"
There is no trick at all!
This doesn't make sense.
Chang Sunqing lowered his eyes, "Father may have guessed that mother would definitely go find him. He was afraid of hurting mother, so when he had the mausoleum built, not only was the ventilation and lighting good, but no hidden weapons were installed."
Jiuer opened her mouth and remained speechless.
She understood it in theory, but she really couldn't feel it personally.
The next day.
Baili Feiyue woke up, and the hangover headache made her feel a little apologetic when she saw Changsun Qing and Jiuer beside the bed.
"You guys kept watch over me all night? I just drank a little too much. I won't drink anymore so you don't worry."
Chang Sunqing looked at her.
The boy who looked extremely similar to Changsun Wuji, who was usually cold and cruel, gave her a cute and soft smile.
"Mother, let's go to Qingfeng Mountain to spend the Spring Festival with father from now on."
Baili Feiyue was startled for a moment, then lowered her eyes slightly, "Okay."
Four years later.
Jiuer’s wedding.
In the second year after Jiuer's wedding, one more person went to Qingfeng Mountain to celebrate the Spring Festival with Changsun Wuji.
Jiuer's husband Duan Rong.
Two years later, the Emperor Su Yu of Xiyue got married.
Baili Feiyue and her whole family went to the wedding together.
On the way back to Dajing after the wedding.
By the way, we just went sightseeing and there was no rush.
Because we specifically walked and played, we visited places with beautiful scenery.
The weather is good at this time of year, so places with beautiful scenery are bound to be crowded.
Baili Feiyue and others saw grass growing and birds flying everywhere, and apricot blossoms on the branches.
Many of them come with their families for an outing.
Many children were still running around flying kites.
So I decided to stop and rest in this quiet yet lively place.
Xiangyang and Zhuifeng, who were accompanying them, quickly chose an open space, spread out a blanket, took out various snacks, etc.
Baili Feiyue and others got off the carriage.
Feeling the laughter and fresh air all around really makes people feel relaxed.
Although Jiuer has been married for two years, she does not have any children.
It was one thing that she herself wasn't that fond of children.
Duan Rong also smiled and said, "Why do you need a child? Isn't it enough to have Xiao Jiuer?"
Baili Feiyue and the others would certainly not force Jiuer to do such a thing.
But everyone knows that Duan Rong will definitely not let Jiuer have a child.
Although Jiuer's health has recovered, Duan Rong doesn't dare to take risks with her.
In Duan Rong's opinion, the so-called continuation of the family line is just that. Women do not have to give birth to children, they are not tools for giving birth to children.
His Xiao Jiuer is his Xiao Jiuer. Whether he has children or not, he is still his Xiao Jiuer.
Children are not necessary.
After eating and drinking for a while, Jiuer pulled Duan Rong to play far away.
Chang Sunqing received a letter from Dajingjing via carrier pigeon, and took Xiangyang to a place with few people to explain and deal with the matter.
Zhuifeng led a few horses pulling the carriage to drink water and feed them on the other side of the road.
Only Baili Feiyue and Changsun Yu are left here.
The eldest grandson is ten years old this year.
In terms of skills... he is now on par with Chang Sunqing.
But still no words were spoken.
The sun is warm and the breeze is gentle.
No one expected the disaster to come so quickly and suddenly.
The moment the earthquake occurred, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
Although there was a large flat area here, a huge crack appeared underground and the mountain not far away also collapsed and rolled down terribly at that moment.
A huge abyss appeared directly under the ground where Baili Feiyue was sitting.
Faced with this sudden and huge natural disaster, even she didn't react in time, and she fell down directly from the position she was sitting on.
Because of weightlessness, she couldn't even use light skills immediately!
There were huge noises of collapse and screams all around.
She could not hear the voices of her own children at all, and the rolling rocks and earth were about to drown her.
From the time the natural disaster occurred to the time she fell and was about to be buried, it was just a blink of an eye.
At this moment, an agile little figure not only did not run away to avoid danger, but fell directly into the crack where Baili Feiyue fell.
But when she grabbed the falling Baili Feiyue, it was too late to help her fly out.
When mud and rocks were pouring down, Changsun Yu used his body to hug Baili Feiyue and used his back and body to block the rolling rocks and mud.
Sharp, heavy stones and dirt hit her.
Soon, everything went dark and they were buried underground.
However, the ten-year-old girl still had no expression on her face. She heard the anxious and distressed voice of the woman under her.
She heard her calling her baby and asking her to hold on.
She has to hold on.
At least she had to hold on until the woman under her was rescued by people outside.
The woman under her tried to touch her, but she held her tightly, not letting her move.
Apparently, the woman beneath her had also calmed down.
I know that if I move, it may trigger a more terrible chain reaction, causing secondary harm.
"Baby, don't scare mommy. We will be fine, and you will be fine..."
The little girl didn't know how badly she was injured and her consciousness quickly became blurred.
But she would not allow herself to completely lose consciousness.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the Regent's Palace that summer six years ago.
The house was filled with the lingering strong smell of medicine.
Especially the door of the man's room she visited every day.
She went there every day to wait for him to get up and teach her martial arts.
But he never got up.
Until he called her in.
He told her he was sorry and that she seemed to have inherited the worst of him.
He added, "I sometimes wonder, people in this world are always so self-righteous that they want to bring new lives into this world. Maybe there are accidents, or they are just following the crowd and think that everyone has to do the same. But few people have ever asked themselves whether the new lives they brought into this world were willing to come."
He tilted his head and smiled at her, "Do you know how you came into this world?"
"Your mother wants to have another child. I know that she just wants to give me a real 'home'. Your brother and sister have very different personalities from ordinary children. So your mother placed her hopes on the next child, that is, you."
"I don't want it, because I know I don't have much time left."
"But I really can't refuse your mother."
"In the end, it is your mother and I who are selfish."
He looked at her, his purple eyes smiling, an attitude of equal communication, "Chang Sunyu, do you hate your mother? If you hate her, then hate me."
"After I die, you can chop me into pieces. The blueprint of my mausoleum is under my pillow, you can take it out and have a look."
The little girl numbly took out the thing under the pillow, unfolded it and looked at it numbly.
After taking a look at it, she numbly stuffed it back into his pocket.
"I can let you vent your hatred and anger. You can do whatever you want."
To vent anger? To vent hatred?
She never knew what anger or hatred was.
I'm not even interested in cutting him into pieces.
If he were alive, she looked forward to defeating him one day.
But he died. If he died...
The little girl still showed no emotion.
She wanted to ask, how can I hate you?
"In this life, your mother and I have wronged you. So let me owe you some more."
"Chang Sunyu, I want to ask you for a favor. If possible, can you stay with your mother for me? Take care of your mother?"
"She is a little crazy. Sometimes she is stubborn and obstinate. From time to time, she can also have some setbacks. I am really worried about her..."
The little girl just looked at him.
She had never seen him talk so much at once.
"What are you looking at?" The man smiled weakly. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head. "Do you want to call me father?"
Buried underground by rocks, the dazed eldest grandson had only the man's weak smile left in his mind.
I promise.
I will protect her for you.
She said in her heart.
…
When Baili Feiyue and Zhang Sunyu were dug out, Baili Feiyue was almost unharmed.
Chang Sun Yu, who was covered in blood, had actually fainted, but her eyes were open, and her muscle memory still kept her tightly hugging Baili Feiyue, protecting all her vital parts under her body.
Jiuer tried all kinds of methods and tricks but failed to make her let go.
Finally, Jiu'er, with red eyes, said unintentionally, "Xiao Yu, mother is fine now, please let me go!"
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a miracle, but this time, Jiuer pried Changsun Yu’s hands and body away from Baili Feiyue.
The earthquake was extremely horrific. The green mountains and clear waters disappeared in an instant, leaving only devastation on the ground.
Chang Sunyu was seriously injured, but how could Jiuer and Baili Feiyue let anything happen to her?
After rescuing Baili Feiyue and the other person, Changsun Qing and Duan Rong, together with Zhuifeng Xiangyang, rescued many other people.
After receiving the news, the subordinates of Changsun Qing, Jiuer and Duan Rong rushed over and also helped.
Although the earthquake was terrible, there were no aftershocks.
This is a blessing in disguise.
Many lives have been lost, but those who survived must continue to move forward with strength.
In this world, there are always things and people that are worth our courage to move forward in the face of adversity.
There will always be someone who loves you and protects you for me.
The world is worth it, and you are worth it too. —— (End of article)
