Chapter 188: Forgot it right after you said it?
"Haha, Concubine Shun, if you have anything else to say, you can just tell me. I am not a monster and I don't eat people."
Concubine Shun clenched her fists, stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Princess, I...I do have a favor to ask of you. It might be a little unbelievable, but I still want to ask you."
Bu Ruo knew Shun Fei's intentions the first time he saw her, and sighed helplessly.
"Bi'er, go call Qian Luan."
Not long after, Qian Luan arrived, followed by the stubborn Jin Congcong, under the pretext of... studying.
"Qian Luan, go check if Cui Hang has been reincarnated yet. He's the older brother of Cui Ji and Cui Tong. Have you met these two people?"
Qian Luan nodded and disappeared from the hall in an instant, leaving Concubine Shun stunned.
Jin Congcong: ???!!!
Didn't you say on the way that if you were going to the underworld, you'd take me along to play? Did you forget right after you said it?
Bu Ruo walked over and helped the man up: "Wait a moment, if he has already been reincarnated, I can't do anything. If he is still in the underworld, this princess can let you meet."
"Princess... I... I... I didn't expect you to really help me. Do you think that I'm a married woman and still thinking about someone else? It's a bit... a bit unfaithful to my wife."
But Bu Ruo pushed her into a chair and handed her a cup of tea: "What a bullshit woman's virtue! Who says a woman's marriage is for life? If you don't like someone or regret it, can't you still get a divorce? Why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position?"
"Maybe what I'm saying might sound unorthodox, but the Emperor... he's not worthy of you being his faithful wife."
"Now that you've left the palace, it's time for you to live your own life. But...some things can't be turned back. It's better to move forward."
Looking at Concubine Shun, Bu Ru couldn't help but think of herself and Xiao Yulan, so she gritted her teeth and said, "If he still misses you and hasn't reincarnated yet, I... will try to see if I can help you two rekindle your past relationship."
Someone opened his mouth wide: "Ruo'er, you want Concubine Shun and General Cui to... form a secret marriage?"
Without waiting for Bu Ruo to say anything, Concubine Shun nodded without hesitation: "I do."
"I want to marry you to the evil spirits of the underworld." Bu Ruo glared at Jin Congcong fiercely, then turned to look at Concubine Shun, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm not talking about a ghost marriage."
"Shun Fei, I'm going to ask you something and you must answer me honestly."
"Ask me, I will never hide anything I know from you. If I tell you a lie, God will take me away."
Bu Ruo shook her head. "It's not that serious. I just want to ask you... where is Cui Hang's body, or... how is it preserved?"
Hearing Bu Ruo's words, Concubine Shun almost slipped off her chair: "Princess, you... are truly a disciple of God. You even know such things."
"That's right. When I learned that Brother Hang had died in battle, I secretly begged the Cui family to hand over Brother Hang's body to me. The Cui family is a reasonable family. Knowing that Brother Hang and I were forced to separate, they reluctantly agreed to my request."
"The Cui family built a cenotaph for Brother Hang, and I sent Brother Hang's real body to Yan'er's fiefdom and sealed it in an ice coffin."
"I was afraid the Emperor would find out, so I even had someone go to Nanxia and spend a fortune buying a lot of powder that could keep the body from decaying and sprinkle it inside. Although I couldn't leave the palace these years, I sent my confidants to check on him twice a year. He... looked exactly like he did when he died, with not even a single sign of decay."
"Even Yan'er doesn't know about this. I just want to find a way to go to the fiefdom with Yan'er when I'm old, and stay by his side for the rest of my life. I just don't know if he will dislike me."
Not long after, Qian Luan came back.
"My Lord said that with Cui Hang's achievements, he could have been reincarnated long ago, but he said he still had unfulfilled wishes and didn't want to forget anyone, so he has been wandering in the underworld for so many years and has not been reincarnated."
When Concubine Shun heard Qian Luan's words, tears started to flow down her face like beads from a broken string.
"It's me. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't have stayed incarnated for so many years after his death. Woohoo... It's all my fault."
"Princess...Princess, I beg you, can you please let me see him? I will persuade him to reincarnate. He is a good man and a hero of the Great Zhou. He doesn't deserve this ending."
Bu Ruo gently stroked Concubine Shun's back, and waited until she could catch her breath after crying for a while before saying, "Why did you persuade him to reincarnate?"
"You're going to your fiefdom soon anyway, and that dog emperor won't have much time left to live. Well... even if he were alive, he probably wouldn't be able to care about you. So... why can't you continue living with Cui Hang in the human world? Why do you have to let him reincarnate?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Xiao Haoyan has his own destiny. He was once poisoned by Bu Yanfu and his foundation was damaged. He won't live past the age of thirty."
Concubine Shun stared at Buruo in amazement: "If he can't live past thirty, then doesn't that mean... doesn't that mean he only has two years?"
"Princess, I know my request is excessive, but can you please... I am willing to pay any price."
"cannot."
Bu Ruo sighed, "You are kind-hearted. You have lived in seclusion in the harem for many years and have never harmed a concubine or child. Even if she killed the queen with her own hands, it was the karma she sowed."
"But Xiao Haoyan's fate is like this. If it weren't for your good deeds over the years, he wouldn't even have lived to be twenty. It's a blessing for him to be alive now."
"This is his fate. This princess cannot interfere too much."
Jin Congcong was so moved when he heard Bu Ruo's words, "Wow... See, Ruo'er doesn't care about others but only me. She is afraid that I will die, so she keeps me by her side every day."
After a long time, Concubine Shun finally accepted the result and nodded in thanks.
"Thank you, Princess, for telling me. I know what to do next."
Bu Ruo knew that she understood everything, and when he saw that she had figured it out, he continued, "Before I let Cui Hang come back to life, I have to ask him in person first."
Bu Ruo was stopped just as he was about to form a seal.
"You are pregnant now, let me come."
"You...? Are you okay?"
Xiao Yulan didn't answer. He just stamped his feet under everyone's gaze and said coldly, "Send Cui Hang's soul up to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black vortex appeared in the center of the hall, and a blurry figure walked out of it.
Bu Ruo: ...
That's it? No need to even seal it?
Jin Congcong: Why do I suddenly feel that the prince seems to be more powerful than Ruoer?
Just as Concubine Shun and Cui Hang were looking at each other, someone pulled Qian Luan and silently walked to an empty corner.
"Master Qian, Ruo'er said I have spiritual awareness, so does that mean I should also have spiritual power?"
"Yes, isn't it your spiritual power that the princess has been asking you to practice these days? Oh, and I haven't asked you how your practice is going."
