Twenty-five years later
One night, Li Xuanyi could not suppress his longing for Su Yumo. He sat up from the couch and walked into the secret room with a candle.
Now he is in his forties and his health is not as strong as before.
The headaches were coming back more frequently, and the coughs were increasing.
The imperial physician said that he was overworked and his body could not bear the strain.
Li Xuanyi couldn't hear these words. Only by focusing all his energy on state affairs could he stop thinking about her.
The secret room contains everything she has.
She gave something to someone else that he intercepted.
The clothes she wore during her time in the palace.
All the letters he had received in the past reporting on her day's itinerary.
Li Xuanyi walked to the end, and a big red dress was hanging on the hanger.
He rested his forehead lightly against the fabric.
There is no temperature anymore.
He touched the clothes bit by bit, recalling how it looked on her.
After a long time, a tear fell to the ground.
Suddenly he seemed to touch something, he opened his eyes abruptly and tore open his clothes.
The "YM" outlined in black is still clearly visible.
Did she embroider it?
Those who serve are not allowed to touch this garment.
Y is "翊" or "月", so what is M?
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
At least he had engraved his name on their wedding gown.
In this case, isn't he a complete failure as a human being?
His dry lips slowly kissed the two letters.
A few hours later, he walked out of the secret room, and Eunuch Qin hurried forward to put clothes on him.
Eunuch Qin was the apprentice of Eunuch Lin, who passed away due to illness last year.
"Your Majesty, didn't you fall asleep again last night?"
Li Xuanyi was not allowed to be served when he slept. It was not until this morning that Eunuch Lin discovered that he was not in bed.
I guess he went to that secret room again.
He straightened his clothes and walked forward.
"In three days, I will go south to lie down. Tell people to prepare."
"Your Majesty, why are you heading south?"
"Look at the rain."
Their story began with rain, so let it end with rain.
☆
Three days later
A convoy of more than 20 people started their journey south.
Li Xuanyi sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and thought about his life.
The illegitimate son of a noble family, who had been beaten and scolded for years, met her and began to study.
Pass the exam, cultivate shadows, enter the court, break into the palace and kill the emperor.
He founded a new dynasty, met his lover again, got married and crowned his queen, and stopped the imprisonment.
In the end, he was the only one left.
He laughed bitterly. It was really wonderful!
Suddenly, the sound of swords rubbing against each other was heard all around.
Li Xuanyi walked out of the carriage calmly, and luckily an arrow hit his arm.
He took a step back, ignoring the pain in his arm, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Stop, Zhou Yusheng, come out. I'll give you a chance to kill me."
A man walked out of the bushes, holding a crossbow in his hand, and the jade pendant on his waist swayed as he walked.
"Your Majesty is still as charming as ever."
Since she left, Li Xuanyi's body began to age rapidly.
He is only forty-four years old now, but he already has a lot of white hair and wrinkles.
"Let them all leave. I want to have a few words with you alone."
Zhou Yusheng waved his hands to signal his men to evacuate.
Zhou Yusheng had never been afraid of Li Xuanyi.
Over the past twenty years, the two have played chess no less than a thousand times, and the final result was always a loss for both sides.
Rest and then rearrange the layout.
He can afford to wait, but Li Xuanyi's body can't.
A second later, they were the only two left on the empty grassland.
"I have written an imperial decree, after my death, the throne of emperor will be handed over to you.
"I have given this imperial edict to Eunuch Qin. I have told him that he will give it to you when you go there."
"I have already told some of the ministers I favor about you, and they will support you in the court."
"The Shadow's people are also in your hands."
Zhou Yusheng frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You know, I won't live long. At least you are a good choice."
Zhou Yusheng sneered, "Your health is failing, you deserve it."
Zhou Yusheng didn't waste any time talking to him. He pointed the crossbow in his hand at Li Xuanyi's chest, and red flowers flew everywhere.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The moment Li Xuanyi fell, he saw the little girl running towards him when he was a child.
He looked at the blue sky and slowly closed his eyes.
I said to myself, see you in the next life.
Li Xuanyi's men rushed over upon hearing the noise, and Cheng Feng calmly carried his body onto the carriage.
After settling Li Xuanyi, Cheng Feng sat in the carriage and said to Zhou Yusheng:
"We won't follow you. We only recognize one person, and that's him."
After saying that, he drove the carriage and continued heading south.
Li Xuanyi said that he wanted to be buried in the place where it rained the most.
Zhou Yusheng looked at the departing carriage and asked softly, "Did I win or lose?"
Ask yourself, and also ask the heaven and earth.
A month later, there was a great funeral in Jing Dynasty, and the sky was covered with white cloth.
Two months later, the new emperor ascended the throne and honored the previous emperor as Emperor Jingling.
He did not change the country's name and continued to use the word "Jing".
What happened later was left to the historian.
