"It was my idea, and I did it in the end. What does it have to do with you?" Old Qi laughed out loud, without blaming Xu Tianze at all.
He was the one who did everything and he made the final decision. The child was still in a coma at the time, so what did it have to do with him?
Xu Tianze shook his head frantically. That was not how things worked. It was clearly him who decided to become a poisoner for the Xu family.
It was also when he finally begged Old Qi to implant a heart-eating poison in him, and it was also when he overworked his body again and again in order to escape Emperor Gan's control as soon as possible.
But when it came time to pay the price in the end, it was his master who had to bear it.
This secret method was clearly torn up at the beginning, so how come it reappeared in the world?
"Silly child, how can your teacher bear to let you die with regret and pain?" Old Qi raised his old hand and stroked Xu Tianze's cheek.
After all, he was his own disciple, so Old Qi knew what Xu Tianze was thinking at a glance, and it was precisely because he knew that that he felt so heartbroken.
Knowing that two lives would have to be sacrificed to save him, Xu Tianze destroyed this secret method without hesitation.
But he forgot that since his relatives and friends were willing to exchange their lives for Rang's, they would definitely not give up the chance to live.
"You are too kind after all. If it weren't for the very end, you would have tried to leave others a way to survive. But you didn't know that this would harm you in the end." After Old Qi finished speaking, his raised hand dropped weakly.
Those eyes, which had been tired for a long time, finally closed completely. Only a smile of relief was on the corner of his mouth, which showed that he passed away peacefully.
“Master!!!” Xu Tianze cried miserably, with tears as big as beans rolling down his face.
He was only concerned with his sorrow and listening to Master Qi's admonitions. This time his master left him completely.
Xu Tianze lay on the edge of the bed, his mind filled with every moment he had spent with his master. Although he and Master Qi became master and apprentice in the latter half of their lives, he had always been able to feel Master Qi's sincerity towards him.
Now that they were separated suddenly, he felt a little lost and it was even harder for him to accept.
"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Long Musi and the wise king stood side by side in the yard, looking at the open door.
The wise king shook his head. He already knew the ending when Xu Tianze entered the yard, but he didn't go in because he wanted to leave some space for the master and disciple.
When he suddenly heard Xu Tianze's wailing, the virtuous king subconsciously raised his leg to step into the house, but in the end he resisted the urge to go in.
"He will have to face it himself, just like before." Although the wise king's tone was calm, there was still a hint of sadness.
Then he quietly added in his heart: It’s as if I don’t exist.
When Long Musi heard this, his mind suddenly went blank and he felt a little dazed. Suddenly he heard a voice, a voice he had heard before.
He combined the sounds into one sentence: "Was it worth it?"
"It's worth it." The wise king was stunned at first, then turned his eyes to Long Musi with determination.
"Not everything in this world can be measured by worth or unworthiness." The virtuous prince looked up at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, an inexplicable glint in his eyes. "But if my brother insists on an answer, it must be worth it."
Long Musi followed the wise king's gaze and saw the grown osmanthus tree in the courtyard. Then he suddenly realized that it was the time of the year when the osmanthus flowers would bloom for ten miles.
He actually understood that whether it was worth it or not had long lost its meaning to the wise king. Just like at the beginning, the wise king knew what he wanted from the beginning to the end.
Song Yu also always understood his true inner thoughts. Even the prince had a goal that he always insisted on. Only he was always hesitant and jumping back and forth.
But from this perspective, he has already lost.
"Thanks to my royal brother's teachings, I was able to wake up." Long Musi bowed sincerely to the wise king, then turned and left.
He decided to give himself a few more days to think carefully about whether he wanted supreme power or the heart of one person.
These few days have given Xu Tianze and the wise king enough time to be alone, allowing them to say goodbye properly.
"Aze, are you feeling better?" When the virtuous king saw Xu Tianze appear at the door in a daze, although he felt a little distressed, he did not go forward.
"Where is my uncle?" Xu Tianze raised his head blankly and looked around but did not see the ghost doctor.
Logically speaking, since the ghost doctor informed him, it means that he had already checked Mr. Qi's pulse the morning before and knew his condition, so he should be guarding this yard.
"Never seen it." The wise king shook his head. Seeing that Xu Tianze's body had begun to shake, he quickly stepped forward and supported Xu Tianze.
"Collect the bodies." Xu Tianze said in a low voice, slapped the wise king's arm away, left these words and walked out.
After that, the body of Old Qi was laid to rest. During this period, Doctor Ye, the eldest princess, Song Yu, and the crown prince came. Even the people from the Valley of Divine Doctors had rushed here a month ago and finally caught up to see Old Qi for the last time.
Only the ghost doctor has been missing. The seven-day deadline has arrived. Seeing that the ghost doctor still has not appeared, Xu Tianze has no choice but to seal the coffin and follow Mr. Qi's request to reanimate the corpse and send it back to the Valley of Divine Doctors.
After everything was settled, Xu Tianze prepared to return to his fiefdom with the virtuous king.
"Who sent it?" Xu Tianze was playing chess with the virtuous king when he suddenly saw Xue Wei coming over with a jar of osmanthus cream. He immediately frowned in displeasure.
Since that day, he never touched osmanthus paste again. The wise king also never allowed osmanthus paste to appear in the palace. This Xuewei came directly with a jar, which can only be said to be someone delivered it to the door.
But this is also the most puzzling thing for Xu Tianze. You have to know that Jiang Xue is dead, and the only person left who knows about this matter is Song Yu.
If Song Yu wanted to see him, he could just come directly. There was no need to give him the osmanthus cream, otherwise it would definitely annoy him.
"It was a peasant woman. She said that as long as the adults see this thing, they will see her." Xue Wei answered seriously.
Initially, he didn't believe what the peasant woman said. After all, the people in Prince Xian's Mansion only knew that there was no osmanthus cream in Prince Xian's Mansion, but they didn't know the other reasons.
Xue Wei knew that this was because Xu Tianze didn't like the food of osmanthus paste, so when the peasant woman brought it to his door, it was better not to kick her out directly, let alone see it.
But the peasant woman spoke too confidently, so the servant hesitated for a while and still reported the matter. He went outside the mansion and saw the peasant woman. He always felt that the peasant woman was familiar, so he tried to send it in.
Unexpectedly, when it was sent in, Xu Tianze reacted immediately.
