Chapter 518 Finale 2
After that, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong lived in their own world for many years. However, the brothers Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang entered middle age and began to want to stick with their mother again, but they often couldn't find Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong.
Although the two of them could only wander around Yuanjing, the emperor, for Zhao Lingmeng's health, allowed her to live in many of the imperial estates. Furthermore, Zhao Lingmeng herself had quite a bit of property under her name, so sometimes, without Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong's knowledge, Zhao Houjing and the others would have been unable to find her.
This time, Zhao Lingmeng summoned Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang to discuss a crucial matter. Zhao Lingmeng held two death-proof gold medals, but she and Fan Yong were nearing their end, and they wouldn't be able to use them anymore. So, she decided to leave them to her son.
But she only has two pieces, but she has three sons, so it’s not easy to choose!
However, Zhao Lingmeng decided to give one piece to Zhao Houming privately, and for the remaining piece, Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang would draw lots!
When the person is about to die, she will show favoritism in private.
Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang received a summons from their mother and immediately rushed to the Princess's Mansion in a carriage.
After Fan Houyang sat down, he quickly asked, "Mom, what instructions do you have for us?"
"As for the matter of dividing the family, your father and I are getting older, so we decided to divide the family while we are still here." Zhao Lingmeng almost said it out loud, for he was afraid that after they were gone, Zhao Houjing and his two brothers would start fighting.
"Ah? Mom, don't underestimate me. I am no longer the same person I was back then." Zhao Houjing was very unconvinced.
Zhao Lingmeng snorted coldly, not wanting to talk to these two idiots. When he found out what they were hitting him with, Zhao Houjing would definitely slap him in the face.
Zhao Houjing also snorted proudly. He just felt that his mother always looked at people with a conservative perspective.
Zhao Lingmeng did not argue with Zhao Houjing and the others. She simply waved her hand and asked all the servants in the room to leave.
Then he personally took a box from Fan Yong, opened it and placed it in front of Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang.
Zhao Houjing almost jumped up, "Mom, how come you have this thing?"
Fan Houyang also pinched his elder brother's hand. Seeing his elder brother cry out in pain, he said slowly, "My goodness, I can still see this thing in my lifetime."
"What a promising future!" Zhao Lingmeng was very happy watching their performance, feeling like she was just watching a show.
"There's only one piece. You two can draw lots! Don't accuse me of being partial when the time comes." Zhao Lingmeng felt that she was not partial to either of her two sons now.
"There's only one piece, and you don't keep it for my second brother, but give it to us two brothers." Zhao Houjing looked at his mother suspiciously. Why was he so unconvinced?
Those who know you best are not only your friends and enemies, but also the unfilial sons and daughters in your family.
Zhao Lingmeng felt that she could still struggle a bit, so she explained, "Your second brother is so smart, does he need this? Besides, I gave Xi'er the position of county lord, and I will also take care of your second brother and those who didn't get it in terms of property."
After Zhao Lingmeng finished her perfunctory words, without caring whether the two believed it or not, she took out two pieces of paper and opened them to show them. One was empty and the other had "yes" written on it.
She pinched it back right under their noses, shook it in her hand, and threw the two paper balls on the table. "Whoever draws the one with the gold medal gets the gold medal. You two play rock-paper-scissors, whoever draws first!"
At this moment, Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang didn't even mention whether to give in or not. Fan Houyang won, because he drew first, but he drew nothing.
Zhao Houjing was ecstatic. He immediately hugged the gold medal in his arms and jumped three feet high. "Third brother, thank you for letting me win."
Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong both silently shifted their gazes, not wanting to look at Zhao Houjing's silly look.
Finally, Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but remind them, "Don't tell anyone about this, not even your wife. Especially Fan Houyang, and definitely not the two people in your house."
Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang nodded quickly. Although Fan Houyang was unhappy that he did not draw the golden medal of immunity from death, he had inherited his father's earldom, so he was not that regretful.
Fan Houyang also knew that it was a crime to possess a treasure. Although he and his elder brother often had friction, he did not go to the extent of killing his elder brother.
"Mom, where did you get this thing?" Fan Houyang was still quite curious about its origin.
This wasn't something that couldn't be said, so Zhao Lingmeng said directly, "It was given to me by the late Emperor when he abdicated. It's a talisman for your mother."
The current emperor in power is Yang Chengchen, and Yang Jingchen is now the emperor emeritus.
"Are you really not the daughter of the late Emperor?" This was the only question in Zhao Houjing's mind at this moment.
Zhao Lingmeng pursed her lips speechlessly, "You two, get out of here right now! My head is pounding just looking at you."
Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang saw that their mother and father were tired, so they quickly left.
Only after middle age do people begin to realize how important their mother is. Even Zhao Houjing is not angry with Zhao Lingmeng now, but he is just afraid that something might happen to Zhao Lingmeng.
It’s just that when people get old, no matter how comfortable life is, they still have to go.
Afterwards, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong counted all the properties under their names and divided them among the three brothers.
Actually, Zhao Lingmeng was more partial to the second one, but there was nothing she could do about it. Ten fingers always had different lengths. This was also something that could not be avoided.
When Zhao Houming received the gift sent by his mother, he felt something was wrong and immediately submitted a petition requesting to be transferred back to Yuanjing.
Emperor Yang Chengchen had long wanted to transfer his good friend back, but Zhao Houming was reluctant to transfer him back because he was reluctant to give up the fruits of his labor. Now that he had submitted a memorial himself, the emperor approved it without hesitation.
He also asked the secret guard to send it to Zhao Houming quickly.
After receiving the emperor's approval, Zhao Houming rode back to Yuanjing at full speed, leaving his family behind. He was worried about his mother.
As a result, on the second day after Zhao Houming returned, Zhao Lingmeng passed away in his sleep. He was only 58 years old, but that is considered a long life in this world.
It took the three Zhao Houjing brothers a long time to go from disbelief to breaking down in tears. It took them a long time to accept that their mother was gone.
Zhao Houming cried, but he stayed by Fan Yong's side the entire time. He was worried that his father would do something stupid, after all, he had his grandfather's experience as a warning. They had long considered Fan Yong their biological father. They had already lost their mother, so they couldn't live without a father.
However, despite Zhao Houming and his men's precautions, Fan Yong still followed Zhao Lingmeng that night. He was afraid that if he went too late, he would not be able to catch up with His Highness.
It would not be an exaggeration for Zhao Houjing and the other two to say that they had cried all their tears dry, as they tragically lost two loved ones in one day.
Afterwards, the funerals of Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong were held with great ceremony. Finally, the emperor ordered that Zhao Lingmeng and her husband be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Zhao Houming almost went into the palace and had a fight with his old friend, but Zhao Houjing and Fan Houyang desperately pulled Zhao Houming back.
Several emperors after him remembered Zhao Lingmeng's contributions. One emperor even announced Zhao Lingmeng's achievements when he was alive and posthumously conferred him the title.
Originally, Zhao Lingmeng's descendants thought that this would lead to many assassinations by the enemy country, but Jing State really protected them well, and they never got into trouble. It was just that their descendants were not good enough, and they declined generation after generation.
But even so, they lived well in Jingguo thanks to Zhao Lingmeng's kindness.
Later generations even honored Zhao Lingmeng as the Princess Protector of the Nation. Because of this, the Yang family controlled the country for over 500 years, making it a very long-lived dynasty. Even if the dynasty changed, Zhao Lingmeng's descendants would still have the confidence to claim they were descendants of the Princess Protector of the Nation.
Whenever this land experienced war again, the people prayed for the reincarnation of the Princess Protector of the Nation.
After Zhao Lingmeng died, she thought she would be reincarnated, but what she didn't expect was that she woke up again in her original world. When she opened her eyes, she saw that her attending physician looked exactly like her prince consort in that life.
She looked straight at the man in front of her and said, "Have I ever told you that you and I are destined to be together?"
The attending doctor retorted without hesitation: "I only know that if you don't wake up, this hospital will be torn down by your father and your brother."
Zhao Lingmeng thought to herself: "I don't know if this is Zhou Gong dreaming of a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of Zhou Gong."
