Extra Chapter: White Clothes (Part 3)
But he found that he had no regrets at all, as long as he could keep her, even if he had to tie her to him by force.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yue found that he could finally move and make sounds.
She pushed the tireless man on her and said with a frown: "Get off, it hurts..."
Hearing the tremor in her voice, he hugged her and kissed away the sparkle in her eyes.
Qi Yue was stunned, and tentatively raised her hand to touch his handsome face.
She raised her head, kissed the corner of his lips, looked into those dark eyes, and asked firmly, "Why don't you want to divorce?"
Yi Bai lowered his eyes, recalling the warning his master gave him thirteen years ago.
Although he and Qi Yue are destined to be together, they are not destined to be together. If they force themselves to be together, they will only go against the will of heaven and will not have a good ending.
No one else can interfere with this fate, only he himself can cut it off.
So for the past thirteen years, he has always treated her coldly.
And this marriage between the two of them was also his delusion...
Seeing that he was still silent, Qi Yue's voice became a little hoarse.
She was unwilling to give up and asked again: "Have you ever... felt the slightest attraction towards me?"
The choked words were like thousands of silver needles piercing his heart.
Yi Bai opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word in defense.
Looking at that tear-soaked face, he hurriedly let go of her, pulled his outer robe over her body, then put on his inner robe and fled...
The old national teacher sat quietly in the Taoist room. Knowing that he didn't have much time left, he finally told the fortune for Dayi.
There were messy footsteps at the door, followed by the sound of kneeling.
The old national teacher opened his eyes and looked at the result shown by the hexagram, and he sighed heavily.
"Come in."
Yi Bai stood up and pushed the door open. He was only wearing a middle-length shirt, his black hair was extremely messy, and the corners of his eyes were red.
Walking into the house, he knelt heavily again.
"Master...I..."
The old imperial teacher raised his hand to interrupt him, "I already know, no need to say more, you can only overcome your own calamity by yourself, but the eldest princess's calamity is closely linked to the survival of Dayi."
"My time as a teacher is running out. When you inherit the position of the national teacher, remember not to delay your cultivation, not to be obsessed with petty love, and not to ignore the people of the world for your own selfish reasons."
These words sounded like a last will. Yi Bai looked up in disbelief: "Master..."
"Come here."
The old national teacher waved at him, and his vicissitudes of life voice echoed in the Taoist room.
When he came up to him, the old master stretched out his hand and touched his forehead.
As the golden light gradually rose, Yi Bai felt a pain between his eyebrows, and then a memory he had never experienced before drilled into his mind.
It passed in a flash, and the last scene was Qi Yue jumping off the city wall and dying for his country.
Yi Bai opened his eyes wide, a feeling of suffocation came over him, he supported his body and gasped heavily.
At the same time, the old national teacher also lowered his hands helplessly.
"Don't be so persistent. There will be no good results..."
After he finished speaking, the old master slowly closed his eyes.
“Master…”
Yi Bai's eyes were red and his face was full of sadness.
He understood that this was because his master had used up all of his remaining skills and used forbidden techniques to allow him to foresee the future outcome.
He closed his eyes and kowtowed heavily towards the old imperial master's remains.
"Disciple...I will obey Master's orders."
Along with the sobbing sound, a tear fell.
The other side.
He Xiang helped Qi Yue put on her clothes with a dissatisfied look on her face. "Your Highness is too much. How can you just…"
The rest of the words were a little hard to say, and I stomped my foot in shame and annoyance.
Qi Yue frowned, endured a little discomfort, touched her head and comforted her: "It's okay, when he comes home, I will punish him severely, and I will definitely not forgive him so easily this time."
He Xiang nodded heavily, "Yes, Princess, you can't be soft-hearted this time!"
But the next second, she hesitated and said, "But the Prince Consort usually only returns to the Princess's Mansion on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Today is only the fifth day. Will he go back?"
Qi Yue's heart was also beating fast. Judging from his reaction today, it didn't seem like he was completely ruthless to her.
But his final reaction of fleeing in panic is really puzzling.
Is it so difficult to admit that she is in my heart?
Qi Yue didn't understand. She was always decisive in doing things and treating people, but she had been struggling with her love for him for too long.
She thought about it and finally decided to stay and wait for him to go home together.
If he is still hiding before dark, I must break in and pull him out!
Not long after, three bells were heard in Duchen Temple.
The Taoist children in the temple hurried past and all went to the main hall.
Everyone was wearing white mourning clothes and had a look of sadness on their faces.
Qi Yue: "What happened?"
He Xiang immediately walked to the door and grabbed a Taoist boy and asked, "Little Taoist friend, what happened?"
The Taoist boy's eyes were red and he quickly bowed to Qi Yue inside.
"Your Highness, the master has passed away. We all need to go to the main hall to chant sutras and bid farewell."
After saying this, the Taoist boy left in a hurry again.
“The abbot…isn’t he the old national master? How could it be…” Qi Yue always felt his heart pounding and inexplicably panicked.
She lowered her head and checked her clothes. Fortunately, she was wearing simple and elegant clothes today, so there was nothing wrong with her.
"Let's go too!"
When we arrived at the main hall, the aisles were already filled with people kneeling.
Yi Bai was also wearing plain white mourning clothes and kneeling in front of the coffin with his back to the door.
The back that was originally as unshakable as a pine or cypress now seemed to be filled with sadness, and even had a sense of crumbling.
Qi Yue just stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at him quietly.
It was not until it was completely dark that the sound of chanting in the temple gradually stopped.
The eunuchs stood up and left the main hall. When they reached the door, they all nodded and saluted to Qi Yue one by one.
Yi Bai heard the noise and turned around, only to see her looking at him with eyes full of heartache.
He felt panic in his heart, but thinking of his master's last words, he couldn't help but clench his palms.
After taking a deep breath, he stood up and walked towards her.
"Yibai..."
"It's time to go home," he suddenly interrupted, then took her hand and said, "Let's go home."
Qi Yue was stunned, a look of joy appeared on his face, but he knew that now was not the time to be happy.
She bit her lip, suppressed her smile, and clasped her fingers with his.
"Okay, let's go home."
He Xiang covered her mouth lightly behind them, and waited until the two of them walked a few steps away before turning around and bowing deeply towards the coffin in the hall.
"Please bless the old imperial master, the princess and her husband must be well, and they must live together till old age!"
After returning to the princess's mansion, the two had dinner together.
Yibai took her hand again, and they walked in the courtyard to digest their food and admire the moon.
Qi Yue didn't know why he had suddenly changed and become enlightened after so long, but she was satisfied with the result, and that was enough.
She thought that if his attitude could remain so gentle all his life, she would be content even if they became a respectful couple.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yi Bai suddenly said, "It's getting late."
