"After I die, bury me with Yunluo."
The steward couldn't bear it and quickly comforted him, "General, you wouldn't..."
"Listen to me, now that the country is peaceful and prosperous, I have no worries. My only concern is for Yao'er. Everyone in the General's Mansion must ensure her safety for the rest of her life, no matter what."
Tears welled in the butler's eyes: "From now on, Yao'er will be our little master."
"Go down."
"yes."
Inside the room, only he and Yao'er remained.
Jin Xian pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Are you sad?"
She dared not speak, afraid of frightening him, and could only answer him in her heart.
It wasn't just sadness, it was utter heartbreak.
“I know you are spiritually gifted. Now that I am leaving, there are some things I must tell you.”
He supported himself on the bed and slowly sat up. As always, he placed her in his arms, gently stroking her fur, and said in a tender voice, "Yao'er, I have no regrets about saving you."
She did feel a sense of guilt. If he hadn't saved her from Xuan Yuanlie's clutches, perhaps the tragedy of her entire family being wiped out wouldn't have happened.
“Xuanyuan Lie has always regarded me as a thorn in his side. Even if it wasn’t you, he would have wiped out my entire family one day. I just didn’t expect that he would choose to save you when I was going to war, for you and for me.”
“She knew you would find me, and as she wished, I did not return to the capital to die as I had in the past after winning a battle. I had the opportunity to kill Xuan Yuanlie and turn the General’s Mansion against the enemy. Similarly, we should thank you.”
Yao'er looked up at him, nuzzled her little head against his chest, and told him that she was very dependent on him and reluctant to let him go, and hoped that he would live.
“I know you understand. These past few days, I had a dream. In the dream, you were a fox spirit who came to my side to help me overcome my tribulation. If it weren’t for you, Yunluo would have been violated in the brothel and committed suicide by poison. You gave me and her a few wonderful years.”
He lowered his head, gently kissed her forehead, and said, "In my dream, Xuanyuan Lie used the same method to execute me, as well as several of my trusted subordinates."
She paused slightly, not quite understanding.
Then he said, "After Xuanyuan Lie ascended the throne, he was incompetent and foolish, and the people were displaced and eventually the country was destroyed. Your appearance allowed me to survive and rebel against Xuanyuan Lie. Now, Xuanyuan He is the emperor and he governs the country well. This is all thanks to you. I only lived a few more years because of you. It is also because of you that the people of this capital are at peace."
Only then did she understand why she had successfully ascended to the ranks of immortals after Xuanyuan He became emperor.
But it turns out that all of this was preordained.
But since she helped Jin Xian overcome his tribulation, he should have lived on, so why did he have to die?
He saw the reluctance and sorrow in her eyes and comforted her softly, "Yao'er, don't be sad."
How could I not be sad?
This feeling is too painful.
A doting smile played on his lips: "It's just a pity I haven't seen your human form yet. You must be as beautiful as Yunluo, right?"
"Jinxian, wait a minute, I'll show you."
In her ear, she heard his warm voice, tinged with a hint of reluctance: "Silly Yao'er, if we meet again in the next life, call me brother."
She didn't look at him, jumped off the bed, transformed into human form, and rushed to his bedside: "Jinxian, Jinxian..."
However, he closed his eyes and, before he could see her in human form, his soul departed.
She sobbed uncontrollably, "Jinxian..."
"Jinxian..."
She murmured and cried out, choking back painful sobs, feeling suffocated by the fear of losing her loved one, and suddenly opened her eyes.
A blinding light shone into my eyes, along with the white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant in my nostrils.
She is currently in the hospital.
She was breathing heavily, tears welling in her eyes. Even though she tried her best to control herself, the pain of loss was unbearable.
"Yao'er, how are you?"
"Yao'er, you've been sleeping for two days and one night."
It was her brothers' voices; she was brought back to reality from her dream.
The things I experienced in my past life are still deeply etched in my heart, as if they all happened yesterday.
Second brother...
Brocade Strings...
He is Jinxian.
She grabbed Xiao Jinhan's hand tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance and fear, and asked, "Xiao Jinhan, where is my second brother? How is he?"
Xiao Jinhan looked at her and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
But the tears just wouldn't stop, one drop after another.
"He's still in the hospital ward."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yaoyao didn't have time to think much. The pain of Jin Xian leaving her in her previous life was magnified infinitely in her heart, and she was afraid of repeating it again.
She let go of his hand, got off the bed, and ran out without even putting on her shoes.
Xiao Jinhan squatted down, picked up her shoes, and chased after her.
Fu Zhiyu watched his retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly, a mix of emotions welling up inside him. He looked at his elder brother and asked uneasily, "Brother, do you know who Jin Xian is?"
He shook his head: "I don't know."
During the two days and one night she was unconscious, Yao'er kept murmuring a name.
Brocade Strings, Brocade Strings...
But in his memory, Yao'er did not have this friend. He asked Su Mei, and she also said she did not know her.
A name that is constantly called in dreams must be very important to Yao'er.
Fu Xiuchen said, "Don't worry, Jin Han won't overthink it. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding."
"Um."
Tang Yaoyao ran barefoot to Fu Jincheng's ward and found him still unconscious. Her eyes were red and she could no longer control her emotions, so she burst into tears.
She cried as she said, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I only found out it was you so late."
Then, she called his name cautiously: "Jinxian, don't die, please wake up. I couldn't keep you in my past life, will I lose you again in this life?"
On her deathbed, Jinxian said that if they met again in the next life, she should call him her elder brother.
He succeeded, becoming her biological brother, but why would she, his own sister, hurt him?
Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand how devastating the fear and anxiety of losing something can be.
She had promised herself she wouldn't cry, but at this moment, she couldn't hold back any longer: "Jinxian, Second Brother, I'm sorry, how could I forget you? I'm so sorry, I beg you, please wake up, okay?"
He remained in his hospital bed, showing no signs of waking up.
Tang Yaoyao couldn't control her emotions, and tears dripped onto his cheeks: "Didn't you say you wanted to see me transform into a human? I'm right beside you. Wake up, open your eyes and look at me, and you'll know if I'm as beautiful as Yunluo. Jinxian, I'm sorry..."
"Second brother, it's me, Yao'er, I'm the little fox... Jinxian, it's me, your little sister..."
Xiao Jinhan took the shoes and walked to the door, where he heard her crying. He didn't hear what she had said before, only the last four words.
My heart was breaking, but I couldn't bear to go up and disturb her.
