Chapter 534: Ying Yuan’s Thoughts
After Miyue's death.
Ying Yuan personally ordered the whole country to mourn for three days.
All the civil and military officials knelt outside Chenghua Palace to mourn Mi Yue.
In addition, he also ordered that the Xuanzheng Hall be moved next to the Chenghua Hall.
Xuanzheng Hall is where daily government affairs are handled.
It cannot be placed in the harem.
Ying Yuan has set a precedent.
Mi Yue's posthumous title was chosen by Ying Yuan himself - Xuan.
Empress Xuan.
now.
All officials paid their respects in Chenghua Hall.
Ying Yuan called the heads of the three guards to the new Xuan Zheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, the matter you instructed us to do has been taken care of. It will probably take a few days for the ice coffin to be transported here."
"Let's first use the ancient method to ensure that Empress Xuan's body does not decay. Once the ice coffin arrives, everything will be fine."
"Your Majesty, Zhang Tianshi is also on his way here. However, the Taoist soul-fixing technique has always existed only in legend. Could it really be true?"
Ji Gang, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wei Zhongxian of the East Factory, and Yu Huatian of the West Factory spoke to Ying Yuan one after another.
However, the latter did not answer their questions, but just waved his hand and asked them to leave.
At this moment, only Ying Chuan was still standing beside Ying Yuan.
The former frowned, looking sad.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan said slowly with a sad expression:
"Do you think that Father is cruel and ruthless?"
"I didn't even visit Concubine Xuan before she passed away."
"Instead, she forced herself to come find me..."
Hearing this, Ying Chuan did not hide anything, but said frankly:
"Father, please forgive me for what I did. I just felt that Empress Xuan has given so much to you, and you shouldn't treat her like this."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan did not feel angry, but said expressionlessly:
"I know in my heart that you are not the only one who thinks so. Even the officials kneeling before Concubine Xuan's coffin think so."
"They all think that I didn't go to see Concubine Xuan because I wanted her to die. If she died, I could send troops to attack Chu."
"But, do I need to sacrifice my own women to conquer a mere Chu State?"
"The survival of the Chu State depends on my thoughts."
Speaking of this, Ying Yuan's domineering aura emanated invisibly.
It seems to be able to swallow the world,
"The reason I didn't go to see her was because when I returned victorious, I heard that she was seriously ill and had no medical care."
"I have been strong all my life. I am not afraid of any nation or even the whole world..."
"But, I'm afraid... I'm afraid to see her die..."
"Everyone in the world thinks I'm omnipotent, but when faced with a matter of life and death, for the first time, I feel fear and helplessness."
"I ordered the three guards to find an ice coffin that can preserve the body from decay, just for this moment."
"I don't want to see her die, but I have no choice..."
"I don't want to see her die..."
Ying Yuan murmured.
For him, why should he sacrifice his own women in order to destroy a country?
That was something he was not ashamed of or disdained.
But he didn't want to see her die.
Ying Chuan suddenly took over the conversation.
"So, Father will not go to see Empress Xuan?"
Ying Yuan's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
After his emotions stabilized, he slowly spoke:
"I feel sorry for her, I have failed her, but I...can't save her..."
Since returning triumphantly, Ying Yuan's temperament suddenly changed.
Apart from feeling that the country is doomed and hopeless.
There is also a new understanding of life and death, and infinite grief for Miyue.
His woman, the woman who loved him deeply, died.
The shock of life and death brought Ying Yuan back to reality completely.
He heard many people say that he was old.
He also felt that he seemed to be getting old.
He was so old that he couldn't even save his own woman.
He didn't know how long he could live, a few years, or even decades?
In short, there is no hope of becoming an immortal and achieving eternal life.
He has already betrayed Mi Yue.
You can no longer let down the other relatives around you.
For example, Daji, for example, Yingchuan.
"Over the years, I have been busy with state affairs."
“I never cared about the people around me…”
"But I have no choice..."
"Chuan'er, you must promise me that if one day you become the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, you will treat your mother and your concubines well."
"And...your brothers."
Ying Yuan said here.
Ying Chuan did not hesitate at all and knelt down immediately, "Please rest assured, father."
Even though Mi Yue's affairs will be misunderstood by people all over the world.
However, Ying Yuan was never an emperor who was afraid of being misunderstood.
About half an hour later.
Ying Yuan held Ying Wu's hand and strolled outside Chenghua Palace.
The former seemed to want to be familiar with every tree and blade of grass here.
This is where Miyue lived.
With every step he took, he seemed to be able to see Mi Yue's figure within his sight.
After a pause, Ying Yuan suddenly touched Ying Wu's little head and said:
"Do you resent your father?"
Ying Wu shook his head, "Mother said that father is the best father in the world."
"Mother also said that when Father returned victorious, he didn't want to see Mother because he didn't want to witness the separation of life and death..."
"It's because Father doesn't want to see Mother suffering from illness."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan was stunned.
