Chapter 416: Dong Buhan was blown down the mountain

All the idlers, including the imperial physician, withdrew.

The only ones left by the Queen's bedside were Emperor Zhaoning, Prince Kang's family, and Jiujiu.

The queen didn't know whether it was because Jiujiu came or what, she suddenly felt that her body was not so tired at this moment, nor so heavy that she couldn't even lift her hands. She could sit up by herself and even get out of bed and walk.

She got up, got out of bed and came to a huge brocade box, looked at Jiujiu and said, "Jiujiu, come and take a look?"

Jiujiu looked at the queen worriedly and came over.

[This is most likely a last gasp of energy from the Queen Mother.]

【I……】

"Open this brocade box and take a look?" the queen asked again.

Emperor Zhaoning urged, "Jiujiu, listen to your mother and open it quickly."

"Um."

Jiujiu opened the brocade box and was stunned when she saw a bright red wedding dress and the phoenix crown that she wore when she got married.

The Queen said: "Jiujiu, mother doesn't have time anymore, and won't be able to see you get married..."

Her health was already very bad when Jiujiu left without saying goodbye and went alone to rescue the Third and Thirteenth Princes. But she didn't tell anyone, she was still thinking, hold on, hold on until Jiujiu comes back, and then get married.

Now, she has finally waited for Jiujiu's wedding date.

But she really couldn't bear it any longer.

It’s such a pity that I can’t see my favorite girl get married.

"Jiujiu, now, can you put on this wedding dress and this phoenix crown so that mother can see them?"

Seeing Jiujiu wearing her wedding dress and acting as a bride can be considered as participating in her wedding, and it can also reduce some regrets.

The queen comforted herself in this way.

"good."

Jiujiu's tears fell again. She wiped them, changed her clothes quickly, and put on the phoenix crown.

Both the wedding dress and the phoenix crown were carefully prepared by the Queen, and were prepared according to the specifications of a legitimate princess. The wedding dress was extremely gorgeous, and the phoenix crown exuded nobility.

With the help of Princess Kang, Jiujiu was quickly dressed.

The queen looked at Jiujiu with satisfaction, smiling all the time, and even said that she would help Jiujiu put on makeup herself. Jiujiu would be even more beautiful after putting on makeup.

Jiujiu nodded, sat in front of the dressing table, and asked the queen to help her put on makeup.

Emperor Zhaoning watched from the side.

This was the first time the Queen put makeup on Jiujiu. She was very careful, her eyes were full of love, and she sighed: "Jiujiu, if it weren't for you, your mother wouldn't be alive today."

"The Queen Mother was unable to recognize your sixth brother, and she was even less able to enjoy the company of her grandchildren and spend these years happily."

"In my life, Queen Mother, I have no regrets except not seeing you get married."

"Even if I die, I can rest in peace."

As the queen spoke, her breathing gradually became weaker. Jiujiu noticed this and looked at her worriedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

The Queen continued, "But today, seeing you wearing your wedding dress, dressed like a bride, your mother is also satisfied."

"It's just, it's just..."

The queen had just helped Jiujiu put on lipstick and earrings when she couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Her breath was getting weaker and weaker, and she felt extremely tired even when she opened her eyes. She wanted to close her eyes and rest.

Jiujiu hurried to help her, but the queen had been in pain all over and had trouble sleeping day and night. She was very tired and had no strength left, and she didn't want to get up.

She sat on the ground, leaning against Jiujiu's arms, and said, "There is just one more thing that the Queen Mother wants to tell you. The Queen Mother has already made it clear with your father that when the Queen Mother is no longer the Queen, Concubine Jia will be the successor."

"When the emperor abdicates, Concubine Jia will be the empress dowager."

"I hope that in the future, Concubine Jia and Jiujiu can protect Laoliu and his family."

After the queen finished speaking, she died without waiting for Jiujiu to answer, and without even taking a last look at Prince Kang's family.

She probably believed that Jiujiu and Concubine Jia could do it, so she didn't ask for an answer, nor did she have any regrets. She just mentioned it and then left.

Jiujiu couldn't accept it and shook the queen for a long time, but the queen didn't wake up. Jiujiu burst into tears, and Prince Kang and Princess Kang also cried out of breath.

Seeing this, Fu'an, who was guarding outside, went out and announced that the queen had passed away.

The whole country mourned the death of the Mother of the Nation.

Jiujiu stayed up all night to keep vigil over the empress's spirit for two days. On the third day, the empress's funeral was held and buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Jiujiu also helped carry the coffin to the imperial mausoleum.

According to etiquette, Dijiang was not suitable to appear, but he felt sorry for Jiujiu, so he put on a human skin mask, put on eunuch's clothes, and silently stayed by Jiujiu's side, guarding Jiujiu until the funeral ceremony was over.

.

Jiujiu and Dijiang's marriage could not be held for the time being and was postponed because Jiujiu had to help the queen observe mourning.

Fortunately, Dijiang had no objection and was willing to wait.

As for the succession ceremony, it was also simply held and ended.

Jiujiu is the legitimate princess.

But Jiujiu didn't care about this. Many people celebrated with her and said they wanted to help her celebrate her birthday, but she refused.

After she and Dijiang finished dealing with the remaining matters at hand, they headed to Mount Buzhou to draw their swords.

And at this moment, on Mount Buzhou.

Dong Buhan pulled the sword for a month in a row, and his hands were sore, but he couldn't pull it out.

He slumped down beside his sword, breathing heavily.

On the side, the four monks guarding the sword sat on the lotus pedestals in the east, west, south and north, holding Buddhist beads in their hands, looking at Dong Buhan and saying, "Donor, please leave. You can't pull out this sword."

“No one can pull it out.”

Originally, there was a woman who could pull it out, and she was not ordinary. However, when she was born, they calculated her fate and she would die at birth.

After her death, no one in this reincarnation will be able to pull out the Longyuan Sword.

Unless, there is another person with an extraordinary destiny, so extraordinary that they cannot predict or understand it at all.

But, probably not.

Anyone who draws the sword will die here.

"I don't believe it."

“Everything depends on human effort.”

Dong Buhan knelt in front of the sword and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth due to internal injuries caused by drawing the sword. He wanted to continue drawing.

When the four monks heard Dong Buhan's frivolous words, they laughed contemptuously. After laughing, the four monks just waved their hands together, and Dong Buhan was blown away by a strange wind.

Dong Buhan was blown down the mountain and was seriously injured. Even his immortal body could not bear it. He was covered with wounds and could hardly get up.

When Jiujiu and Dijiang arrived, they didn't know that Dong Buhan was blown down the mountain because he drew his sword.

The two men went up the mountain and drew their swords.

But the four monks guarding the sword said, "Young lady, young master, please leave quickly, or we will slap you down the mountain without courtesy."

"The man just now was immortal, and he wouldn't die even if I slapped him. But you guys, that may not be the case."

Jiujiu was unwilling to leave, because she had a strong premonition that this sword would be pulled out by her and her brother Dijiang.

The sword belongs to them.

"Didn't they say that anyone who comes here can draw a sword? Wait until we draw our swords. If we can't pull them out, it won't be too late for you to send us down the mountain."

"hehe."

The four monks laughed together, very wildly, and their voices echoed in the valley of Buzhou Mountain. It was unusually loud and full of energy, which was incompatible with their appearance as white-haired, old monks.
