After Shen Xiaohan passed on the throne, he took Tang Wan out to play.
In the past, he was the monarch and she was the concubine. Although they enjoyed all the glory and wealth, they had no freedom.
Now, the two of them can also appreciate this beautiful land and be an ordinary couple.
Shen Xiaohan's health was getting worse and worse, and he always carried a lot of pain-relieving pills with him.
Unable to bear it any longer, he stuffed a few into his mouth, not letting Tang Wan notice anything.
The two of them secretly went to the tavern to play, and heard the storyteller telling a story. They immediately found it very interesting, so they warmed up a few pots of wine and sat there to listen to the story.
The storyteller slammed his gavel and said, "Speaking of which, our Grand Empress Dowager is truly an extraordinary figure."
"How should I begin to talk about this?"
"Our Grand Empress Dowager was originally just a princess married into a foreign alliance, but she was born with a beautiful face, like the fairy Chang'e descended to earth."
"As soon as she entered the palace, she won the favor of the retired emperor and instantly overshadowed everyone else."
"We heard that the Empress Dowager was unwilling to enter the palace and was forced to come here."
"However, after going through many hardships, they both finally realized their true feelings. The Emperor even turned gray overnight for the Empress Dowager."
"So, in the end, she and the Emperor Emeritus were in love, and they lived together for the rest of their lives. They were truly the envy of the world."
When Shen Xiaohan and she walked out of the tavern, he was still a little jealous and asked her angrily, "Are you really unwilling to enter the palace?"
Tang Wan rubbed his head casually: "This happened many years ago, there is no need to mention it again."
"What do you mean by don't mention it again? Don't you care about me at all?"
They built a house on the mountain and planted sycamore trees around it.
Because Shen Xiaohan's white hair is too eye-catching, it is better to live in the mountains and not have much contact with ordinary people.
He no longer likes to bask in the sun, so his skin has become whiter. Now with his white hair, he really looks like an immortal.
"I really didn't want to enter the palace at first because I didn't know what kind of person you were. If I entered the palace, I was afraid you would treat me badly."
"But now I know that you are the best person to me in this world, so I will never regret meeting you."
Shen Xiaohan's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were a little vague.
Is he really that good?
He wanted to say something to her, but suddenly without any warning he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The black blood clots instantly dyed his clothes red, and the green clothes were instantly stained with a layer of blood-red color, which was mottled and terrifying.
"Wan..."
He didn't even say her full name before he fell straight back. Before he closed his eyes, he only saw her panicked face.
When he woke up again, his intelligence had returned to that of a five-year-old, and he kept asking for his mother all day long.
He has forgotten everyone. He is obviously a healthy adult man, but his IQ is like that of a child. How can people accept this?
He raised several children by himself, and seeing how he looks now, it feels like needles are stabbing my heart.
The emperor no longer recognized them, didn't remember who they were, and didn't remember the time they had spent together.
Shen Xiaohan ran around in Wutong Palace every day. Sometimes when he was tired, he would sit on the ground and cough non-stop. The more he coughed, the paler his face became.
Tang Wan didn't dare to see him. If he forgot about her, she would definitely not be able to accept it. To her, he was no longer a target for her.
He is the closest and dearest person in her life. She cannot bear that Shen Xiaohan, who once indulged her in every way and doted on her, would forget her.
But sometimes, the less people think about something, the more likely it is to happen.
The imperial physician concluded that the poison in Shen Xiaohan's body had penetrated into his bones and was now incurable.
She put on the clothes she had worn when she first met him, tried not to look too sad, and walked to the bedside to see him.
The first words he said made her burst into tears, her throat choked with sobs, and she couldn't utter a word.
He said, "You look like my wife. When I grow up, can I marry you?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you. But you have to drink the medicine obediently and grow up quickly before you can marry me."
Shen Xiaohan's eyes were sparkling, and he stared at her motionlessly: "Mother will definitely like you very much, Wanwan."
"Ahan, do you remember me?" Her face suddenly became a little excited, and she quickly called the children to her bedside.
"I don't remember. I only remember that your name should be Wanwan. A voice in my heart told me that this is an important name. I, I can't forget it."
"What's my name?" His eyes suddenly became confused and he looked at her blankly. He remembered her name but had forgotten his own.
"Your name is Shen Xiaohan, Xiao means brave and good at fighting, and Han means cold winter."
"Don't cry. I don't know why, but even though I haven't married you yet, seeing you cry makes my heart ache."
"Mother said that this is heartache. I feel a little sorry for you, and I don't know why."
He spoke haltingly and stuttered, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, almost taking a deep breath after saying a few words.
"I am your wife."
"Then do you love me?" There was a little more clarity in his eyes, and he looked at her stubbornly, almost pleadingly.
"Love, I love you, so, so can you please not leave me."
Her tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and she couldn't stop them.
Her face was red from crying, and the quilt covering him was wet.
