Since leaving the palace that day, Jun Zechen has been looking for Su Jingyao, and this search lasted for a whole year.
Winter came and summer, spring turned and winter came, and I visited almost every town and village, but I could not find any trace of her.
Jun Zechen knew that she had a stubborn personality. When she was in love, she was as passionate as fire. Once she was hurt, she could really let go without any hesitation.
She was an expert in martial arts, and was also proficient in medicine and poisons. If she was determined not to be found, he would be helpless.
Winter nights are especially cold.
Inside the house, Jun Zechen sat alone in front of the window, looking at the falling snow outside, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to the day they first met.
It was also a snowy day, with the mountains and rivers covered with white snow, and she broke into his world like a fairy.
Just as he was immersed in his memories, a dark shadow quietly appeared behind him.
He is his trusted secret guard.
The secret guard knelt on one knee and reported in a low voice: "Master, His Majesty has posted a notice and is urgently summoning Miss Su to the palace."
At this time, Quan Minghe, the former king of the Gan Kingdom, had unified the world, established the Gan Dynasty, and called himself Emperor Qianyuan, ruling the world.
Jun Zechen frowned upon hearing this, and was full of doubts: "What happened?"
The secret guard paused for a moment, then continued, "Your Majesty concealed the reason, but I have found out that this matter may be related to Miss Shen."
Jun Zechen's heart tightened.
He watched Quan Minghe and Shen Yangxi grow up, and knew the relationship between them inside out.
When Quan Minghe ascended the throne, he was able to have a woman like Chen Yangxi by his side who treated him sincerely and supported him, so he would not feel lonely on the high throne.
Could it be that something happened to Chen Yangxi that made Quan Minghe go to the trouble of announcing it to the world and looking for Yaoyao?
Without time to think, Jun Zechen stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Ganjing!"
He had a secret hope in his heart that perhaps he could meet her again in Qianjing, solve all the mysteries in his heart, and restore the lost relationship.
Imperial Palace, Lingxi Palace.
Beside the carved nanmu bed, Su Jingyao, dressed in a moon-white silk dress, stood still, looking solemnly at Chen Yangxi who was lying quietly on the bed.
The woman had a beautiful face, but she was now completely lifeless. However, her skin was strangely alive, as if she had just fallen into a long sleep.
Su Jingyao frowned and turned to look at Quan Minghe who looked haggard. Although her voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the silent bedroom.
“Your Majesty, did you give Miss Shen the magical medicine that the Su family made specifically for you?”
Quan Minghe slowly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, as if they were red from endless grief and fatigue, his eye sockets were sunken and his face was as pale as paper.
He just uttered a heavy "hmm", his voice hoarse and low.
Su Jingyao sighed softly, with a bit of regret in her tone: "This medicine of the Su family was originally used to prolong the life of people who still have a breath. But Your Majesty, when you gave it to Miss Shen, she should have no breath, so this medicine is useless..."
Su Jingyao and Chen Yangxi had never met each other before, but she had met Quan Minghe several times in the military camp.
At that time, he was full of vigor and vitality, and was a young and promising ruler. Who would have thought that he had such a beloved woman in his heart.
Now, he has ruled the world and ascended the throne, but he has to watch his beloved die.
Su Jingyao couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in her heart. Although she had extraordinary medical skills, she could only use these skills if the patient was still alive.
Chen Yangxi has already passed away. Even if there is a power to turn the tide, it is difficult to reverse the situation at this moment.
Quan Minghe stared at Su Jingyao intently, as if he had grasped the last straw.
There was an unprecedented pleading look in his eyes, and his voice trembled: "Miss Su, as long as you can save her, no matter what your wish is, I will definitely fulfill it!"
Su Jingyao felt a pain in her heart and shook her head slowly.
"Your Majesty, Miss Shen has passed away. I... can't do anything. I hope Your Majesty... will mourn for you."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Quan Minghe's heart hard.
His body swayed and he staggered back two steps, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
His gaze fell on Shen Yangxi's face again. The familiar features and brows were like cold blades, piercing his heart.
She was still as beautiful as ever, but her face was as pale as ice, and she would never open her eyes and smile at him again.
Su Jing couldn't bear it, so she turned around quietly and walked slowly out of the bedroom.
The moment she gently closed the door, she looked back and saw the young emperor, who had just turned eighteen, sitting by the bed, carefully holding Shen Yangxi in his arms.
His slender fingers stroked her hair, his movements so gentle as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
Su Jingyao felt mixed emotions and shook her head secretly.
It turns out that it is so difficult for people in love to stay together forever.
As soon as she closed the door, she heard Quan Minghe's suppressed and restrained roar coming from the hall, which sounded painful and unwilling.
It was as if he was making a final struggle with fate, or as if he was forcing himself to accept this cruel reality and the departure of his loved one.
Su Jingyao had just stepped out of Lingxi Palace when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her sight at the corner - it was Jun Zechen.
She suddenly paused, her expression was as cold as ice, and without stopping for a moment, she turned around and walked quickly in another direction.
Jun Zechen hurriedly chased after her and called out anxiously, "Yaoyao, I want to talk to you."
Su Jingyao stopped and turned slowly. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost that had not melted for thousands of years.
She said coldly: "Mr. Jun, please respect yourself and call me Miss Su. Also, I have nothing to say to you."
