Volume 1 Chapter 442: Final Arrangements
The little girl Lingzhi came over with red eyes. Everyone made way for her. Lingzhi sat next to Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun raised his hand and kissed her delicate little face, saying softly: "Among all the people, only you can move my heart the most. It's a pity... I wanted to grow old with you and protect you for a lifetime, but now I have to..."
When it came to sad things, Lingzhi couldn't hold back any more. She threw herself into Xiang Yun's arms and burst into tears. She hugged Xiang Yun tightly with her arms, fearing that he would leave.
Xiang Yun was also extremely sad. He still remembered how smart and innocent Lingzhi was when he first met her. Perhaps only when he was with Lingzhi could he be the most playful and also the most relaxed.
Does Xiang Yun love Lingzhi? Xiang Yun often asks himself this question, and finally he gets the answer: yes, he loves it, deeply.
Xiang Yun touched her little head and said, "I am sorry. I have deceived you into returning to secular life, and I cannot accompany you to the end of this world. After I die, you will be free. You can leave this palace, travel around the world, and save people. No one can stop you."
Lingzhi felt so painful in her heart. Xiang Yun's words were like a knife scraping at her body. Lingzhi cried out in pain: "Your Majesty, please don't die. Ling'er won't let you die..."
The two of them stayed together for a while. Although Xiang Yun was reluctant, he pushed Lingzhi away and called Miao Hanzhi and Fang Rui to his side. These two had been Xiang Yun's husband and wife for many years. It would be a lie to say that they had no feelings for Xiang Yun. Now that their husbands were going to die, how could they not be sad.
Xiang Yun had complicated feelings towards these two people. He actually always had a grudge in his heart towards these wives whom he did not choose, so although he did not hate them, he did try to have as little contact with them as possible on a daily basis, which could be considered as deliberately distancing himself from them.
Xiang Yun had always felt guilty towards the two of them. When he was about to die, he said, "You are still so young. After I die, you two can leave the palace and marry others to pursue your own happiness. I support you..."
Miao Hanzhi and Fang Rui cried sadly and just shook their heads. Fang Rui cried even more, "Your Majesty, why do you say such angry words? Since ancient times, women have followed their husbands after marriage. If Your Majesty wants to die, I will follow you and accompany Your Majesty in the underworld, serving you day and night."
Miao Hanzhi also nodded in agreement, and Xiang Yun was deeply moved. At this moment, the grudges in his heart were finally broken, and he truly accepted these two people.
Xiang Yun shook his head and said, "I don't allow you two to say such things anymore. Live well for me. This is my last wish!"
After hearing this, the two cried even more sadly, but they had no choice but to nod their heads in agreement. Xiang Yun continued, "Whether you are willing to stay in the palace or leave, no one can stop you two from being free."
"Promise me that you will live happily... freely..."
Fang Rui said: "If your majesty leaves, then I will no longer have any happiness in this life."
Xiang Yun smiled with relief, called Song Yun over and said, "You always wanted me to die, now it's all right, your wish has come true."
Song Yun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty knows how sad I am at this moment. This kind of joke hurts me like a knife."
Xiang Yun said nonchalantly, "You don't want to do this anyway, so let's go. Let's go together. Let's leave the palace. Although the Black Witch Kingdom is gone now, you have poison skills and can go anywhere. Leave the palace. This is not the place for you. From now on... no one will stop you from raising any poisonous creatures you want."
Song Yun was furious and slapped Yun Hu in the face, crying, "You bastard, you want me to say such things, are you a man?"
This time, Xiang Yun didn't have the strength to dodge and was slapped hard. However, after being hit, Xiang Yun felt a lot more relaxed and the psychological burden was lighter.
Whenever Xiang Yun provoked any woman in his life, he was mentally prepared to take responsibility for them...that's why this happened, but unfortunately things didn't go as he wished.
Xiang Yun hardened his heart and said, "Let's go, find a place where no one can control you, and live a good life."
Xiang Yun thought of Shangguan Xiuzhu, Feng Changxi, Zhu Jingjing, Emperor Chixiao and Liu Yiyi again. He was afraid that he would not be able to say goodbye to them in person... He did not expect that once they parted, they might be separated by life and death, and their fate would be destroyed.
Especially Shangguan Xiuzhu, he used to keep his feelings hidden in his heart, but now that he is about to die, he finds that he misses Shangguan Xiuzhu so much. Now he doesn't know where she is in the world, and even if he wants to find her, she is nowhere to be found.
If I could see you before I die, I would die without regrets...
Xiang Yun slowly closed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "You all leave, Qin Su stay."
Everyone agreed and left the Yangxin Palace sadly. Qingdai was the only one who looked a little dumbfounded. In her life, she only wanted to find the strongest man to entrust her life to. How long had it been? And this man was going to die?
And at this moment of life and death, why didn't he come to talk to me, why didn't he say a word? What does this mean?
Qingdai's thoughts were in a mess, and soon other people noticed this. Miao Hanzhi and Fang Rui looked at Qingdai with strange eyes and kept their distance from her.
Qin Su and Xiang Yun were the only ones left in the Yangxin Palace. Xiang Yun held Qin Su's hand tightly and said, "Little Susu, Qing Dai is arrogant and proud. I am here to keep her in check and prevent her from having any other thoughts. After I leave, I am afraid she will cause chaos in the palace and make a big mistake. So after I die, Qing Dai must be buried with me."
Qin Su was startled and looked at Xiang Yun with incredible eyes. Seeing his determined look, Qin Su knew that this was not a joke, so she nodded slowly.
"Come, help me up!"
The door of the Yangxin Palace opened, and Qin Su helped the dying Xiang Yun out. Outside the Yangxin Palace, there were already many people kneeling. In addition to concubines such as Zhen Rou, there were civil and military officials on the left and right. Liu Yiyi, Wang Shu, Jiang Yue, Jiang Fei, and Xuanyuan Dabing were kneeling in the front, and behind them were the six ministers of the ministries, and even Tang Shui from the Anbu was kneeling among them.
All the ministers were in great sorrow. Xiang Yun looked around at everyone and said loudly, "If I die, the throne of the Great Yun Empire will be passed to my young daughter, Sunflower. You must do your best to assist her."
"We obey your order!" Everyone bowed together. They did not have too many objections to Xiang Yun's orders. They respected Xiang Yun, obeyed Xiang Yun, and loved Xiang Yun.
At this moment, there were sudden lightning and thunder in all directions, dark clouds and strong winds covering the entire capital.
A familiar breath emerged, and Xiang Yun was shocked: "Oh no, that damn Zhu Long actually caught up with us!"
Xiang Yun knew very well that the Sun's Essence Fire could keep the Dragon-Eating Eagle, but it would never be able to keep Zhu Long. The strength of the leader of a sect was definitely not that simple.
Xiang Yun quickly waved and said, "Jiang Fei, come here!"
Jiang Fei, with white hair and an old face, stood up and came to Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun suddenly took action and restrained Jiang Fei's hands and feet with his backhand.
Jiang Fei didn't expect Xiang Yun to attack him, and he screamed: "Your Majesty, you are..."
"I promised you that I would return all your life to you!" Xiang Yun raised his hand and took out the Earth Spirit Fruit from the Sumeru Ring. Before Jiang Fei could react, Xiang Yun stuffed it into his mouth.
