With this thought in mind, Xu Lingyi completely let go of her worries and enjoyed every day with Xie Heng.
As it turned out, she was right.
Until his death, Xie Heng never changed his mind.
On the day Xie Heng passed away, he held her hand tightly and said, "Yier, the thing I'm most grateful for in this life... is meeting you. In the next... next life... we'll meet again..."
He described himself lying on the bed, haggard, wanting to say something but unable to speak as he was already dying.
Xu Lingyi's heart was in a knot and she held his hand tightly. She had known him for many years and naturally understood him well enough.
She knew that his love for her was extremely strong and had not changed over the years.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will be husband and wife in the next life. I will always be with you, and we will be together for all eternity."
"One word... and it's settled." The emperor spoke with difficulty, his face pale, but he tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth.
He raised his thin hand, wanting to wipe the tears from her face, but he was too weak to do so.
Xu Lingyi held his hand and placed it on her face.
"Your Majesty, it's a deal."
After she said this, the emperor seemed to have given up his wish and finally closed his eyes.
"System, can't you really save him?" Xu Lingyi couldn't help but shed tears.
"No, host, you asked before."
Watching her lover pass away, Xu Lingyi felt heartbroken.
But birth, aging, sickness and death are beyond human control, and even the system is powerless to do anything about it.
"Is there any chance I can meet him again?" Xu Lingyi's eyes were red and her hair was disheveled.
The system shook its head: "Host, once he's dead, he's dead. Besides, he's just an insignificant speck of dust in the myriad small worlds. You will meet many more people in the future."
"He is just a passer-by in your endless life."
"You'll forget him."
"System, you don't understand." Xu Lingyi shook her head, tears already streaming down her face.
The system was silent. It really didn't understand human emotions, but it could also see Xu Lingyi's sadness.
"Host, he's dead. Do you want to leave the mission world? You only have less than half a year left in this body."
Xu Lingyi shook her head: "No, Xie Heng is gone, but his child and I are still here."
She would arrange for her and his children so that they would not be too sad.
Xu Lingyi took out all the amulets and distributed them to her six children. The amulets could save their lives and prevent assassinations.
When her daughter Yuanyuan gave birth that year, Xu Lingyi understood the emperor's feelings for the first time. It turned out that this was what it felt like to be afraid of losing someone.
She and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager waited outside the door anxiously, their hearts pounding and their nerves so intense that they could hardly breathe, for fear of receiving any bad news.
The emperor loved the child as much as she did, but he comforted her.

My dears, this is actually two chapters, which are combined together because I am afraid that too many chapters would not be good, after all, it is a quick travel.
This story is basically finished. I will write a little more extra chapters. I found that I really love the male protagonist of this world, so I couldn't help but write a little longer than before.
Please add the bookshelf. My dears, I love you.
