Very early the next day, before dawn, Yuan Bohua gently woke Zhou Qiongyue up.
Zhou Qiongyue opened her eyes hazily, and her first reaction was, "What's wrong with your Highness?"
As Zhou Qiongyue spoke, she asked someone to call the court doctor over.
Yuan Bohua quickly stopped Zhou Qiongyue's actions, "Yue'er, don't panic, I'm not feeling unwell, I just want to watch the sunrise with you.
We have never seen the sunrise in the palace!"
When Zhou Qiongyue heard that they were going to watch the sunrise, the tense expression on her face visibly relaxed, "If Your Highness wants to watch it, I will accompany you."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she ordered someone to come in and help her and the prince wash up.
When getting dressed, Yuan Bohua rarely asked someone to change him into the clothes of a prince, and asked someone to change Zhou Qiongyue into the clothes of a princess.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her cumbersome princely attire and was still surprised. "Do I need to dress so formally to watch the sunrise?"
Yuan Bohua knew that his princess was afraid of trouble, so he coaxed her, "Yue'er looks good in this outfit!"
Seeing that the prince liked it, Zhou Qiongyue just went along with it.
When Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were helped to the second-floor library, the highest building in the palace, they sat leaning against the window, staring outside.
It's still a little early and the sun hasn't risen yet.
In fact, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were also standing silently in front of the window downstairs. They did not go up to disturb their father and mother, but the two brothers also wanted to watch the sunrise with their father and mother.
For some reason, Zhou Qiongyue, who was originally very sleepy, was now extremely awake while nestling in Yuan Bohua's arms and looking at the sky.
In this silent atmosphere, Zhou Qiongyue was the first to speak, "Your Highness, why did you think of coming to see the sunrise? You've been acting very strangely lately, and I'm really worried."
At this point, Yuan Bohua didn't want to avoid Zhou Qiongyue's question, "I just want to watch the sunrise with you at the palace for the last time."
When Zhou Qiongyue heard this, she wanted to look up at Yuan Bohua.
Yuan Bohua gently held Zhou Qiongyue's head, not wanting her to look up and see the embarrassment in his eyes. He coaxed her, "Yue'er, don't move. Just stay with me and watch the last sunrise."
When Zhou Qiongyue heard Yuan Bohua say this, she felt like a huge stone had fallen from her chest.
Zhou Qiongyue was so confused that she didn't know what to say. She didn't want to cry either. If she did, the sunrise would be ruined.
Yuan Bohua touched Zhou Qiongyue's hair and whispered softly, "Yue'er, let's make an appointment for the next life, okay? Then I can accompany you and protect you."
"Okay! You go reincarnate first, and I'll go find you when I get down." Zhou Qiongyue didn't want Yuan Bohua to wait for her. It was so hard to wait for someone!
Seeing Zhou Qiongyue agreed so readily, Yuan Bohua smiled silently for a while, then held Zhou Qiongyue's hand tighter, trying to find some support for Zhou Qiongyue's life:
"Don't worry about the things below. Live well and make sure Xuan'er finds a good husband for me. If she gets bullied, you, as her grandmother, can help her back up.
Although Kang Er and his wife are not easy to mess with, it is still more satisfying to go crazy on the spot than to sharpen a blunt knife.
Zhou Qiongyue knew what Yuan Bohua was worried about, and tried to keep her voice low as she spoke: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't commit suicide to find you. If I did, my parents, my aunt, and even my cousin who has little conscience would probably be furious.
They've all been so good to me, how could I possibly let them down?"
Zhou Qiongyue kept reminding herself in her heart, 'She is old and doesn't have many years left to live. It won't be long before they can meet again. Just think of it as Yuan Bohua going out to fight for a few more years.'
But the tears fell down out of her control.
Zhou Qiongyue was actually glad that they were in this position so that neither of them could see each other's embarrassment.
Yuan Bohua pretended not to notice the difference in Zhou Qiongyue's tone and even managed a few words of joking, "I'm relieved that you think this way. To be honest, I was also afraid of getting beaten up right after I got down there."
Zhou Qiongyue didn't respond to Yuan Bohua's question, but instead asked something else, "Can you tell the difference between me and your savior?"
Yuan Bohua was even happier at this time, "Haha, Yue'er finally asked, I thought you wouldn't ask! Maybe you didn't know at first, but you will know after getting to know her for a long time."
"How do you say that?"
Yuan Bohua looked towards where the sun would soon rise as he explained, "You can't hide the look in your eyes when you love someone, and you can't hide the look in your eyes when you've loved someone before. I've seen her love for Li Jingchen countless times, but your eyes towards Li Jingchen are too frank."
Yuan Bohua's explanation alleviated Zhou Qiongyue's sadness, and she praised him sincerely, "Your Highness is truly clever!"
Zhou Qiongyue didn't say anything further, and Yuan Bohua didn't ask any more questions. They each had their own concerns.
The two of them just snuggled together like this, and no one said anything, until the sun began to rise in the distant horizon.
"Look, Moon! The sun is about to rise. How beautiful!"
Zhou Qiongyue had actually been looking at the horizon in the distance! It was just that she was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the rising sun. When she heard Yuan Bohua say this, she also echoed:
"The sunrise I watched with the prince is the most beautiful. If only..."
Before Zhou Qiongyue could finish her hopeful words, Yuan Bohua interrupted her, "Yue'er, I'm gone now. Don't cry. Be happy, otherwise I'll be heartbroken.
If your son is unfilial, just ignore them and send them down so I can teach them a lesson myself. Don't get angry.
Anger is harmful to the body. You are the only one I cannot let go of in this world..."
When Yuan Bohua said this, he looked at the sun that was slowly rising and closed his eyes unwillingly.
Zhou Qiongyue felt Yuan Bohua's hand loosen, and tears suddenly came to her eyes.
Zhou Qiongyue wiped her tears roughly with her sleeve. She did not call for help, but stretched out her hand to protect Yuan Bohua, slowly sat up, and let Yuan Bohua lean on her.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the sun in the distance which had not yet risen. She wanted to watch this last sunrise with her husband.
From a distance, it looks like two people in love are leaning against each other and watching the sunrise.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua watched the sunrise together. She murmured softly, "It's a pity that you are impatient and left as soon as you said you would. You didn't even see the second half.
Actually, the sunrise in the second half was also quite beautiful.”
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she couldn't bring herself to say the words "The prince has passed away".
As time passed, the sun had already risen completely. Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang, who were downstairs, saw no sound from upstairs, so they came up directly.
They originally thought that their father and mother were leaning against each other, so they waited for a while.
Finally, Yuan Chaokang realized something was wrong. He quickly stepped forward and saw his mother in tears.
