Si Sangsang saw the flash of fear in Zhu Wuhuan's eyes, and was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "What are you afraid of? Do you think the Queen Mother will bring a ghost back to scare you?"
Zhu Wuhuan was also stunned, "Ah? Isn't it what I thought?"
Si Sangsang shook his head and said, "No, the Soul-Guiding Pill has another name, the Nirvana Pill. After a person dies, if you want that person to return to you, you can find a recently deceased corpse, place the Soul-Guiding Pill in the corpse's mouth, and silently recite the birth date and name of the person you want to call back. The Soul-Guiding Pill will then reunite their dissipated soul and bring them back to life in this new body."
Si Sangsang said, "So, this Soul Guiding Pill is also called Nirvana Pill, which can help people achieve Nirvana and rebirth."
Zhu Wuhuan looked at Si Sangsang in shock!
Forgive her ignorance, she didn't know there was such a magical elixir in the world!
She quickly asked the system in her mind, "Help me check how many points are needed for a Soul Guiding Pill! If they were cheap, who would care about the Life Extension Pill? Wouldn't it be much better to just use the Soul Guiding Pill and be reborn in a younger body after death?"
The system didn't even need to check, and directly replied, "Don't dream, the Soul Guiding Pill is a god-level elixir in the mall. It can only be given away by the main system, and no one can buy it with points."
Zhu Wuhuan was suddenly extremely disappointed.
Alas, rebirth is really not that easy, it is out of reach.
She looked at Si Sangsang with some curiosity, "Mother, why did the main system want to compensate you with a Soul Guiding Pill? The system just said that this seems to be a god-level elixir that cannot be exchanged for points in the mall—"
After hearing this, Si Sangsang's eyes instantly became sad.
She clenched her palms and said slowly, "Because the main system is ashamed of me."
She closed her eyes and sneered.
"It allowed me to travel through time, but ended up causing me to lose my modern body. It caused my sister to die of grief, and my parents to commit suicide in despair after losing two daughters in succession!"
"I diligently completed my mission, only to return to the modern era to find my family destroyed!"
"The main system has long known about the tragedy that happened to my family, but it has been hiding it from me so that I can focus on my mission!"
"After I returned to the modern era, the main system promised to compensate me with a soul-guiding pill, allowing me to choose one of myself, my parents, or my sister to be resurrected."
Having said that, Si Sangsang opened his eyes again.
She looked at Zhu Wuhuan and smiled sadly. "Huanhuan, do you want this kind of compensation? Using a family and four lives in exchange for one person's chance at rebirth, do you think it's worth it?"
Zhu Wuhuan was so shocked that he was speechless.
She looked at Si Sangsang, who was crying sadly, and her throat suddenly became blocked.
No wonder a good time traveler would suddenly go crazy.
No one would be able to bear this kind of thing.
Because to my mother-in-law, the death of her family was not an accident. The disaster was caused by her. She was burdened with the guilt of having killed her entire family...
She probably still insists that it was her time travel that killed her sister and parents, so she couldn't bear the blow and went crazy...
Zhu Wuhuan took a deep breath and held Si Sangsang's wrist.
"Mother, the Soul Guiding Pill is a treasure. Do you really want to use it now?"
She advised, "You've suffered so much, you should keep the Soul Guiding Pill for yourself! Please don't use it, okay? After a hundred years, the Emperor and I will use the Soul Guiding Pill to rebirth you in another baby, allowing you to forget your troubles and live a happy life again—"
Si Sangsang shook his head.
She looked up at the window with a distant look in her eyes.
"I've done so much evil in my life, hurting so many people. I've lived enough. Now I have Ye'er and you, and my grandchildren. I'll stay with you for a few more years. When you're old, I can end this life."
She smiled through her tears and said, "This life has been hard enough. I don't want to be turned into a baby and experience the malice and torture of the human world all over again."
Zhu Wuhuan felt more and more upset.
She held Si Sangsang's hand tightly and said with a sob, "Mother, there's an old saying that goes, after adversity comes good fortune. It's precisely because you've suffered enough in this life that you will definitely be happy in the next."
Si Sangsang shook his head.
She smiled gently and patted Zhu Wuhuan's wrist. "Huanhuan, Mother has truly lived enough. As long as you can honor and respect her in this life and let her live out the rest of her days, she will have no regrets..."
She stared into Zhu Wuhuan's eyes and spoke each word with clarity, "Mother truly doesn't want to start over again, to experience the joys and sorrows of the human world again."
These words made Zhu Wuhuan feel a sudden dull pain in his heart.
Si Sangsang ruffled Zhu Wuhuan's hair and said, "Be good, help your mother exchange the Soul Guiding Pill, okay?"
Zhu Wuhuan's eyes felt sore.
Staring at Si Sangsang's indifferent eyes, she nodded after a long time.
Before letting the system redeem it, she asked Si Sangsang, "Mother, you want to resurrect Prince Jin, right? Then don't you want to resurrect the late emperor? I heard that you and the late emperor loved each other very much..."
Si Sangsang sneered before she could finish.
She sneered, "Resurrecting him, am I saying that my life isn't hard enough and I have to find a master to serve me?"
“…” Zhu Wuhuan looked at Si Sangsang in confusion.
This, this, this, the Queen Mother's behavior is different from the stories she heard. It seems that the Queen Mother doesn't like the late Emperor that much?
Si Sangsang looked at Zhu Wuhuan's confused expression, wiping away her tears calmly while curling her lips in a smile.
She said—
"Ye'er's father, the emperor, is seriously ill."
"He is selfish, cruel, and narrow-minded. He loves beauty but is suspicious of his concubines... There is not a single day when I am with him that I don't feel suffocated."
"How selfish was he? When I was alive, he thought more than once that he wanted me to be buried with him after his death."
"And after I left Daning, he tried to get me back more than once to kill my two children and restore the history I had changed to its original state."
"The beauty of the phrase 'accompanying burial' lies in the fact that after one person dies, the other person has no desire in life and is willing to give up their own life to accompany them through life and death. This kind of burial is beautiful."
"But when you don't want to die, and he wants to die, he insists on strangling your life and making you die with him. Do you still think the idea of being buried with him is beautiful?"
At this point, Si Sangsang's mouth was full of sarcasm.
Zhu Wuhuan also felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.
It turns out that the late emperor's illness was not only triggered after Si Sangsang passed away, he has always had such a morbid mind!
No matter when, forcing someone to be buried with you is a very cruel and selfish act.
Putting herself in his shoes, if Feng Changye dared to think of letting her be buried with him, she would knock his head off!
She did love him, but she wanted to continue living after he died. She still had children, brothers and sisters, and friends. How wonderful it was to be alive!
