Chapter 67 Reconciliation
The scene in the dream turned again, and it was the golden and red palace.
A wisp of white smoke rose from the auspicious beast copper stove, and the person who was reading the memorial with a pen dipped in cinnabar was half hidden in the white mist.
Xie Sui's eye sockets were sunken, bloodshot, and there was stubble on his chin, which had never been trimmed. His face was haggard, and it was obvious that he had been very tired recently.
In Wu Chun's cognition, only fighting for power and consolidating the country would make him so busy in his previous life.
But this dream overturned her cognition.
A white-haired imperial physician came in with a wooden medicine box in his hand. He knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, your medicine is ready. This medicine has the effect of calming the mind, helping sleep, and replenishing qi and blood."
"Give it here."
The imperial physician came up to him, took out a bowl of medicine, opened the lid, and the bitter brown medicine smelled out. Xie Sui glanced at it, but did not move, and continued with his official duties.
The imperial physician wanted to say something but stopped.
Xie Sui said, "I will take the medicine after I finish reviewing this book."
But the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, there is something I should not say, but I cannot stand watching you worry so much about the Empress, and become ill from depression. I am afraid, please let it go. Blame the Second Prince of the previous dynasty, and blame the old thief Chen Shan for poisoning you. It is a combination of misfortunes that has led to such a tragedy, but you always take all these things on yourself."
He did not use the words "former Empress" to refer to Wu Chun, but "Empress".
With a "click", Xie Sui put down his pen, and a drop of cinnabar dripped on the nanmu.
"I appreciate Doctor Wang's kindness, but I have to ask myself, if I had not been poisoned at that time, I might not have saved her. Who could have predicted that I could defeat Chen Shan without the manpower of that army? In the overall situation, if I can only choose one, I will choose revenge and seize the country, not her."
Xie Sui's eyes were as calm as the first snow.
"But your majesty, as the ruler of a country, you have to sacrifice some people. You have done a lot for the queen. You went against all odds and attended the ceremony of the queen's coronation with her tablet. Now the harem is empty. Many ministers have advised you to take a concubine, but you have not changed your behavior. This obsession has become a good story among the people and will be remembered for thousands of years in the future."

Xie Sui chuckled but did not speak. His smile was bitterer than the medicine soup in front of him. He flicked his sleeves and let the doctor leave.
Xie Sui's cold eyes were reflected in the calm medicine soup.
What was he thinking when he looked at this bowl of medicine soup?
Wu Chun couldn't understand him. She wanted to call his name, but she couldn't open her mouth. She stood in front of him, stretched out her hand, and touched the bowl of medicine. Xie Sui also stretched out his hand at the same time, as if he took the bowl of medicine from her hand, and then drank it all, took out a piece of preserved fruit from his hand, and ate it.
She clearly remembered that he was not afraid of bitterness at all, and he didn't like sweets very much.
Xie Sui smiled bitterly, "Every time you drink medicine, you always say it's too bitter, and pester me for preserved fruit, but I think this method is useless. Otherwise, why do I still feel so bitter?"
Many of Xie Sui's actions in his previous life were within Wu Chun's expectations. For example, he personally admitted that even if he was conscious at that time, even if the soldiers did not act on their own but came to ask for his opinion, he might not necessarily cut off part of his troops to rescue her.
This is Xie Sui.
But after her death, he did something that she couldn't believe. He
made her the empress, who was already dead. When the new dynasty was just established, he took great pains to shut up the loyal ministers. For the so-called blessing, he made the people of Daning grateful to him in her name.
Then, he walked into the Buddhist temple, bowed three times, and was buried in a raging fire.
What happened to his country after her death?
Wu Chun had no idea.
She only saw in her dreams that Xie Sui was not satisfied with what he did as a king. He didn't recover the lost land in his previous life. He killed many people and had to deal with many political enemies. Maybe in three or five years, he could bring peace and prosperity to the world, and he would become an emperor who would go down in history.
But he didn't.
He didn't even survive the winter of that year and committed suicide in the Buddhist temple.
He once said, "The innocence in the eyes of the world may not be true innocence; the good and evil in the eyes of the world may not be true good and evil."
Thinking carefully, he seemed to always be a bystander. His indifference and extreme madness seemed to have been branded into his bones since the wildfire more than ten years ago.
Before the age of six, he might have wanted power and great achievements; after the age of six, he did not necessarily want that overwhelming power. In his heart, perhaps the innocence of the loyal Xie family was more important, and the enemy must be killed.
Wu Chun suddenly understood.
Although he had ambitions, the most important thing in his life was not power.
White mist gradually filled Wu Chun's eyes and engulfed her.
When the dream faded, she did not call out Xie Sui's name.
Her eyelids trembled twice, and Wu Chun slowly opened her eyes.
She was still lying on the floor, and the candles on the table were still burning. Less than a minute had passed, but she had a long dream.
So he lived like that after her death in her previous life - was her rebirth also exchanged for his life?
Wu Chun's heart was numb, as if she had been frozen in three feet of ice for several days, and she did not feel any sadness or bitterness. At this moment, tears first flowed from the corners of her eyes, and then slowly, as if the sun gradually melted the ice, she felt the love from her previous life, which came several years late.
Xie Sui, tell me, how could we miss each other for so long?
She stood up shakily and walked out barefoot. The palace maids outside couldn't help but exclaim, but they couldn't stop her. She walked out of the palace like a gust of red wind. Under the dark night, there was a person standing in the dark lights.
He was also stunned and looked at her in surprise.
Then, Xie Sui didn't say a word, strode over, and simply picked her up horizontally, "Princess..."
What was the princess doing running around without shoes and socks in the middle of the night?

Before he could finish what he was about to say, he was interrupted by Wu Chun's kiss. After being surprised, he tasted the sweet smell of wine. He frowned slightly and left Wu Chun, "You drank."
"I'm not drunk." Wu Chun panted.
Her eyes reflected the light, twinkling like stars, reflecting his eyebrows and eyes cleanly, her cheeks were rosy, her forearms and calves were exposed, as white as a snowflake on the east railing, there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, her beautiful eyes were full of affection, delicate and bright.
His heart shuddered.
"I know everything, I know everything about my past life. Xie Sui, after you recovered your memory of your past life, why didn't you tell me that you died like that?" She looked at him stubbornly, but when his lips moved, she gently raised her index finger to his lips, stopping him from speaking.
No need to say more.
She hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.
The palace maids who came in a hurry, at first glance at the two people entangled, didn't know whether to remind them or turn a blind eye and retreat, they all stood there, stunned.
Xie Sui raised his eyes, glanced at the servants coldly, and whispered in Wu Chun's ear: "Wait, there are too many people here."
"Hold me tight." He whispered passionately.
Wu Chun hugged him tighter, like a little beast rubbing his neck with his forehead, extremely attached. Xie Sui's heart was in turmoil, as if he was walking on clouds. Only by feeling the tenderness of the person in his arms could he be sure that this was not a dream.
"Emperor Daning, please stay! No outside men are allowed to enter the princess's bedroom!"
"Emperor Daning, please stay! As the king of a country, please abide by the etiquette!"

But the servants only dared to shout, but did not dare to stop him.
After all, their princess was almost clinging to him.
Xie Sui walked into the bedroom with Wu Chun in his arms as if no one was around, and ordered coldly, "Close the door."
The servants looked at each other, not daring to move.
Before Xie Sui's patience ran out, Wu Chun spoke, "Can't you hear him? Close the door."
Xie Sui laughed hoarsely.
The door closed.
He put her down, and the first thing he did was to wipe her feet clean, and then he leaned over and gently brushed away the messy hair on her cheek, "Why didn't you want to get up earlier or later, but tonight? I'm leaving tomorrow."
He pinched her nose.
"But someone remembered it, but didn't tell me." Wu Chun kicked him there with her foot, and his Adam's apple rolled suddenly, and a heavy gasp came out of his throat.
He looked at her for a moment, smiled dotingly and said, "No law or order."
Xie Sui suddenly asked, "How many temples did I build in your name in my previous life?"
It was a question without a beginning or an end, but she answered quickly, "Eight."
"When I died, the temple caught fire. Did I save anyone?"
"You didn't save anyone, but you saved a cat. No one was injured in the temple."
"Did I marry after you?"
"No."
"You don't look completely drunk. You really had a dream."
Xie Sui helped her sit up and bit her ear gently, as if to coax her.
"Come, sit up."
