Chapter 219 [Extra] Parallel World - Development System 1
In the 20th year of Jiatai, Yun Wan's health could no longer support her after her 66th birthday and she was bedridden. The entire Imperial Hospital was helpless.
In front of the bed, Asui Mingyang, who was already the age of his grandparents, burst into tears and begged his mother not to leave them.
Looking at her two children, Yun Wan smiled slightly and raised her hands with difficulty to wipe away their tears. "Good children, don't cry."
Upon hearing this, the two of them burst into tears like three-year-old children.
Yun Wan was helpless. She turned to look at the man who was holding her hand tightly in front of her and said softly, "Husband, people are born, grow old, get sick and die. Don't blame them."
They were referring to the imperial physicians. Her body was already at the end of its strength, and even Hua Tuo could not save her. At most, she could only linger for a while.
But Yun Wan didn't want to.
Emperor Jingxuan, with gray hair and bloodshot eyes, looked at her in silence. He wanted to say no, and wanted to say that if she dared to die, he would order the killing of all the imperial doctors.
But even so, he knew that he could not keep his beloved wife, his lady.
They had been sleeping in the same bed together for decades, but Yun Wan knew that he had agreed.
A soft, cool hand caressed his cheek, and hot tears flowed down the corners of his eyes into her palms. In her last moments, Yun Wan looked into his eyes and said:
"Husband, I want to meet you again in my next life."
The first twenty years of her life were filled with both sweetness and bitterness, but after she met him, he treated her like a treasure, and the rest of her life was sweet.
Yun Wan does not regret meeting him.
Feeling her life slipping away, Emperor Jingxuan's eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes: "Me too."
Hearing this, Yun Wan closed her eyes with a faint smile on her lips.
The funeral bells rang through the sky, and the cries of grief shook the sky inside and outside the palace.
Three months later, the retired emperor who ushered in the prosperous Jingtai era of the Great Qi Dynasty passed away in Qiyun Palace, and the emperor and empress were buried together.
Asui and Mingyang knew that after their mother's death, their father had decided to die.
He stayed on for three months just to take care of his mother's funeral and personally arrange the imperial mausoleum, until he was sure that every part of the imperial mausoleum was in line with his mother's preferences during her lifetime and there were no omissions.
.........
A golden bell rang out, and the man on the dragon bed suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out "Madam!"
The bitter and strong smell of medicine filled the hall. The eunuch guarding the bed shuddered and then exclaimed in delight: "Your Majesty, are you awake?!"
Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Emperor Jingxuan frowned fiercely, "Jiang Fusheng?"
He remembered that this dog slave was the one who walked in front of him and his wife. Could it be that he had come back from the dead? And become younger?
Jiang Fusheng nodded wildly, "Yes, slave!"
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the aura around His Majesty became more majestic and terrifying after he woke up.
Emperor Jingxuan had no time to care about what he was thinking. He looked around for the person he cared about the most: "Where is the madam?"
"Madam?" Jiang Fusheng was stunned, confusion showing on his youthful face. "What madam? Your Majesty, you haven't married yet!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan was shocked and looked down at his hands.
There are thick calluses on the palms of his hands, but there is no sign of aging.
Besides that, he could feel that he was in a young body, with a kind of vigorous life and strength, just like when he was young.
Emperor Jingxuan suddenly had a bold idea and asked Jiang Fusheng, "What year is it tonight?"
Jiang Fusheng: "Your Majesty, it is now the first year of the Jingxuan era. Three months ago, the previous emperor passed away and a traitor usurped the throne. You led your army into the capital, killed the traitor, and took the throne. Have you forgotten?"
Thinking about the possibility that His Majesty might lose his memory after waking up, he was so scared that he wanted to cry.
Emperor Jingxuan glanced at him, his tone cold and indifferent: "Of course I haven't forgotten, but I just have a headache. What's the situation now?"
He did not miss the smell of medicine wafting through the hall, and seeing the servant's nervous look, he knew something must have happened to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and replied truthfully, "Three days ago, you fainted without any warning. The imperial physicians tried every possible method, but you were just in a coma, without any symptoms."
Emperor Jingxuan now confirmed that he would follow his wife after she passed away. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the year when he ascended the throne at the age of 18.
But he didn't remember being in a coma for three days, so maybe this was the opportunity?
Let's call it rebirth after death, does that mean it's the same for my wife?
But when he thought that his wife was eight years younger than him, and was still a ten-year-old girl at this moment, and might still be in Yangzhou, he was immediately like a bucket of cold water poured over his head and calmed down.
He suppressed his desire to see his wife immediately and calmly ordered, "Go and summon Master Lechen to the palace."
After his wife died, in order to ensure that she would be reborn into a good family, he asked the famous monk Lechen from Da Qi to chant scriptures for her, and thus they had some interactions.
If his wife also comes back, he needs to plan ahead, remove all obstacles for her, and welcome her arrival.
Jiang Fusheng hesitated: "Your Majesty, I heard that Master Lechen went down the mountain a few days ago and his whereabouts are unknown."
After Zizhuzi suddenly fell into a coma, he thought of some ghosts and demons, so he ordered people to look for Master Lechen. However, the master had gone down the mountain early and missed him.
Just as he finished speaking, a palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a Buddhist monk outside the palace who claims to be Liaochen and wants to see you!"
Jiang Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic: "Please come in! His Majesty is looking for him!"
........
It is unknown what the two talked about, but the next day Emperor Jingxuan announced the cancellation of the draft.
The reason is that he is possessed by evil spirits, and his coma a few days ago was the result of the evil spirits.
Master Liaochen commented that if one wants to eliminate evil spirits, he should not get close to women, but should cultivate his character and find a lucky person with a precious destiny to accompany him and help him eliminate evil spirits.
The ministers were skeptical and subconsciously did not believe it, but they were also unwilling to lose the great opportunity to send their daughters to the palace as concubines. Therefore, many of them objected, saying that if His Majesty did not want to hold a general election, he could hold a small one.
Emperor Jingxuan did not express his opinion, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood in the court, in full view of everyone, and then fainted.
This unconsciousness lasted for seven days.
During this period, the army stationed around the capital was on high alert, ready to capture any sign of trouble. During this period, many of the rebels' followers were eliminated, and the most fiercely opposed people in the court were imprisoned.
No one can say anything about the thundering measures.
When Emperor Jingxuan "woke up" again, the atmosphere in the court became solemn and everyone began to look for the so-called "lucky girl".
However, they searched extensively according to the conditions given by the master, but could not find this woman in the capital. This made them wonder if such a person really existed in the world. Could it be that His Majesty had been deceived?
Jiang Fusheng was also puzzled.
It wasn't until a few days later when the Xuanlong Guards sent him news that he was overjoyed and quickly reported, "Your Majesty! Your lucky star has been found! It's Minister Yun's eldest daughter who has returned from Yangzhou!"
Emperor Jingxuan pretended to be surprised, "Is there really such a woman?"
Jiang Fusheng nodded his head vigorously, "Absolutely true! It's exactly what the master said!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan laughed and clapped his hands. "That's great! Prepare the carriage and go see my little lucky star!"
.......
Yun Mansion in the capital.
A sweet cry broke the silence during the meal.
"Why should she sit in my seat?"
Yun Shiyue glared at Yun Wan, her face full of grievance: "Mom and Dad, that's my seat! Why did she take it over as soon as she came back?"
"Yue'er, don't be rude. She is your sister and the legitimate daughter of the Yun family."
Madam Yun scolded, but there was not much blame in her words.
Yun Shiyue became increasingly dissatisfied and simply put down her chopsticks, angrily saying, "I'm also the Yun family's legitimate daughter, and I'm still her younger sister. Why doesn't she give in to me?"
Especially since her elder sister had taken away her status as the eldest daughter of the Yun family as soon as she came back, Yun Shiyue hated Yun Wan and didn't understand why she didn't stay in Yangzhou for the rest of her life? Why did she come back?
Father Yun, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and said, "Shiyue, stop messing around."
Yun Shiyue was incredulous: "Daddy, how could I be fooling around? I used to sit in that seat, but now I can't eat if I change seats!"
Yun's father was annoyed by her quarrels, but he had spoiled his daughter so much that he could only look at Yun Wan helplessly: "Wan'er, your sister is ignorant, don't take it to heart. She is spoiled, why don't you give in to her?"
Yun Wan, who had remained indifferent to Yun Shiyue's complaints and noises, raised his head and said in a cold tone, "It's not me who spoiled her, why should I let her?"
Hearing this, Father Yun frowned even more, "You're my elder sister, so what's wrong with giving way to her?"
Yun Wan: "Since this family doesn't welcome daughters, why did father take me back? My uncle and aunt would never let me suffer any injustice."
Ever since returning to the Yun Mansion yesterday, ten-year-old Yun Wan could feel that no one in this family truly welcomed her.
Similarly, she didn't like this home.
Ever since her mother died when she was five years old, she hated everything in this family.
Father Yun's face darkened, his tone unhappy: "Your last name is Yun, and you are the daughter of our Yun family. How can you stay in Yangzhou all the time? If others tell others, they will think that our Yun family can't afford to raise a daughter."
Yun Shiyue was gloating at the side, while the others at the table lowered their heads as if they heard nothing.
Seeing this, Yun Wan's eyes flashed with annoyance. She put down her chopsticks, turned to look at Yun Shiyue, and said expressionlessly, "In that case, I'll give this seat back to you."
After saying that, she stood up, left the table, and walked towards the door.
Father Yun behind him yelled, "Where are you going?"
Yun Wan: "I don't want to eat anymore!"
Father Yun: "This is outrageous! What kind of nonsense is this?"
Just as he was about to scold him, the housekeeper came in hurriedly and said something in Yun's father's ear, and his face suddenly changed.
......
After Yun Wan left, she felt a surge of grievances in her heart.
She wanted to go back to Yangzhou because she missed her uncle and aunt.
She hated this place. Her father told her to give in to Yun Shiyue, but why? She was only two years older than her, so why shouldn't the younger sister give way to the older sister?
The more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt. Tears as big as beans welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision.
Not wanting to be seen in such a miserable state, Yun Wan walked faster and faster, so much so that he didn't see clearly what was ahead and bumped into someone who was coming, causing his body to fall backwards.
"Where did this little crybaby come from?"
His shoulders were supported, and a deep, pleasant voice came from above his head.
Yun Wan looked up and found that the man was very tall. He took a step back to see his face clearly and found that he was a very handsome man.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" She stared at the other person blankly, tears on her face.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan was slightly startled, and then a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes: "I am the Emperor of Da Qi."
Yun Wan looked at him as if he were a fool.
Seeing that she really didn't recognize him and had no memory of her previous life, disappointment flashed across Emperor Jingxuan's eyes.
He shook his head. Wasn't he already prepared for this?
His gaze fell on her red eyes. He reached out to wipe her tears but stopped himself. Emperor Jingxuan handed her a handkerchief and asked, "Who bullied you?"
Yun Wan didn't answer. She raised her hand and wiped her face casually, saying in a hard tone, "It has nothing to do with you."
Yun Wan, who had just returned from Yangzhou at the age of ten, had a distinct temper. Her delicate little face was slightly round with baby fat, and she had two bunny buns on her head with beautiful pearl flowers on them.
Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows. His ten-year-old wife was like a little firecracker, but when she was wronged, she could only run away.
He couldn't help but think of his daughter Mingyang when she was ten years old. She was confident, outspoken and lawless. No one dared to mess with her, and no one dared to let her suffer any injustice, let alone shed tears.
So this is what the lady was like when she was young.
My heart suddenly ached.
Yun Wan felt strange. The tall man in front of her seemed to know her, and his eyes looked at her with heartache.
But she was sure she didn't know this person, so she frowned slightly and said, "Can you please move aside? I want to leave."
"Wan'er, don't be rude!"
Yun's father, who had hurried over, was so frightened when he heard her words that he staggered and shouted at her.
Emperor Jingxuan looked up at the visitor with an unhappy look.
Father Yun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed with his family, "I didn't know Your Majesty was coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"
"Get up."
Emperor Jingxuan spoke in a calm tone.
Yun Wan was stunned and looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes.
Is he really the emperor?
Meeting her shocked gaze, Emperor Jingxuan's brows softened.
Father Yun was apprehensive and took the initiative to speak: "This is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, please take a seat with me."
Emperor Jingxuan waved his hand and refused: "No need, I am here to pick someone up today."
Father Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked doubtfully, "May I ask who your Majesty is here to pick you up?"
Emperor Jingxuan: "My lucky star is in your house, and the woman is none other than your daughter."
"Lucky star?"
Father Yun instantly remembered Master Chen's comments and the recent secret searches of various families in the capital for the legendary daughter of the lucky star.
Unexpectedly, the other person was in his own home? And it was his own daughter?
Father Yun suppressed his excitement and asked cautiously, "I have four daughters. I wonder which one of my daughters is your majesty's lucky star?"
Upon learning that the person in front of them was actually the most honorable emperor in the world, and that the lucky star he was looking for was in their Yun family, Madam Yun and Yun Shiyue's hearts were pounding like thunder.
Although Yun Shiyue is only eight years old, she understands the interests involved. If she is the lucky star, wouldn't she be able to rise to a high position overnight and her status will soar?
Father Yun: "Housekeeper, go call the Third and Fourth Young Misses!"
Emperor Jingxuan: "No need, I have found it."
Yun Shiyue was ecstatic when she heard this. She must be the lucky girl that the emperor was talking about!
Apart from myself, who else in this mansion deserves to be called the lucky star?
Emperor Jingxuan no longer kept the secret and said bluntly: "She is the lucky star I am looking for."
He turned his head and looked in one place.
Everyone followed his gaze and discovered that the lucky star the emperor was talking about was Yun Wan who had just returned from Yangzhou!
Yun Shiyue blurted out, "How could it be her? She's a jinx! She killed her own mother!"
