It's not noticeable when you're young, but as you get older, you can't resist it anymore.
The emperor is no longer going mad, but he is physically weak, has difficulty concentrating, and has become lethargic.
The imperial physicians all said that there was no cure for this disease, and that the patient could only be kept healthy.
For this reason, he no longer participated in matters of concern in the court, leaving all authority to Yunwen.
Gu Jiangli did nothing else but stay with him, reading him stories, watching operas, growing flowers, and enjoying tea. They lived a simple and peaceful life.
One winter afternoon.
She sat with the emperor in the courtyard, drinking the emperor's favorite tea as usual.
The temperature is gradually warming up, and the snow is starting to melt.
Gu Jiangli had just put down his teacup when he suddenly noticed a faint purple light emanating from the tree in the courtyard, which had previously only had a few bare branches.
That shade of purple was so light that it was almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.
The color was so alluring that Gu Jiangli couldn't take his eyes off it.
The emperor also noticed her dazed look and followed her gaze in that direction.
That purple hue seemed to radiate the most dazzling light, blinding him.
He stared at it intently, muttering to himself in disbelief:
"The purple orchids... are in bloom."
It has really bloomed.
Although it was only a tiny bit, it was indeed a flower bud.
Flowers have indeed bloomed on this land where they should never have blossomed.
The emperor turned his head, took Gu Jiangli's hand with delight, and said, "Li'er, look, it's a purple orchid, a purple orchid that only grows in Yunjiang, and it's blooming in the deep palace of Tianyuan."
Gu Jiangli smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but she could feel her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
It felt like something big was about to happen.
As if to confirm that her premonition had never been wrong, Ru Ming rushed in from outside, and as soon as she stopped, she said, covered in sweat:
"Father, Mother, Tianyuan and Yunjiang are about to go to war. My second brother has been appointed as the General of the Cavalry and will be ready to fight tomorrow."
Gu Jiangli subconsciously stood up quickly from the chair, paused for a moment, and then slowly sat down again.
She silently turned her head and looked at the purple orchid once more.
Every flower has a meaning in its blooming, and this purple orchid is no exception.
A flower that only blooms in the land of Yunjiang is now blooming in the land of Tianyuan.
Heaven also believes that Yunjiang will become part of Tianyuan in the future.
Gu Jiangli remained silent, which made Ru Ming and the Emperor somewhat nervous.
Yunjiang is, after all, Gu Jiangli's hometown.
The emperor gently held her hand, wanting to comfort her, "Li'er, you..."
Gu Jiangli gave him a smile, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Let the children do whatever they want. Just do what they think is right and what they think is good for the people."
This will be the achievement of Yunwen and Yunhe, an inevitable historical process of this world, and the unification of the world is a predetermined result.
Regardless of her identity, she shouldn't have stopped it.
The two worried faces in front of her warmed her heart.
"Ruming, prepare armor for Second Brother. Swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield, so don't let him get hurt."
