Chapter 198: The End
Kangxi nodded affirmatively.
Yuying managed to perk up a bit. She looked at the small ball of light in front of her with interest, "Can I see the system too?"
No one answered Yuying's question.
"System, you can save her, right? You must be here to save her, right?" Kangxi looked at the small ball of light with pleading eyes.
It was as if someone sighed faintly in the air, and the next second the system's strict voice sounded.
[I'm sorry, but I can't.]
Yuying immediately looked at Kangxi's expression. She opened her mouth, but her words seemed too pale and weak.
Yuying had always accepted her fate as incurable, but Kangxi did not.
Only after listening to the system's words did Kangxi have to admit it.
"Then your appearance here now, does it mean that history has been changed?" Yuying broke the gloomy atmosphere and stared at the system.
The system flashed.
[Yes, history has been changed, so I am here to take you back.]
The system dropped a bomb.
"What? I can go back?" Yuying said in disbelief.
"Aying!" Kangxi cried out in panic and hurriedly held Yuying's hand, fearing that Yuying would disappear in front of him in the next second.
Yuying patted Kangxi with her other hand, signaling him not to be nervous.
Kangxi no longer had the joy he had just felt when the system appeared. At this moment, he was like a trapped beast, glaring at the system that wanted to snatch Yuying away from him.
The system didn't take Kangxi's hostility to heart at all. It just said to itself, "Yes, you can go back."
"Then how can I go back?" Yuying asked quickly. She thought she had forgotten, but when the system mentioned it again, Yuying realized that she had never forgotten to go home.
"Aying..." Kangxi's tone was filled with helplessness and sadness.
[Any time. I can take you away right now if you want.]
"No! Aying, don't do that!" Kangxi shouted with red eyes. He was really afraid that Yuying would agree to it and just leave.
"Aying, don't be so cruel. Don't you want to say goodbye to Xiao Si and Xiao Ba? If you leave like this, how can I explain it to them?"
Kangxi looked at Yuying pleadingly.
"I..." Yuying's throat felt as if it was blocked. She spoke in a hoarse voice: "I don't plan to leave now."
Yuying looked at the system in the air: "Then how long can this body of mine last?"
The system flashed, and a cold voice sounded in Kangxi and Yuying's minds.
[Three months.]
Yuying glanced at Kangxi, then asked the system: "Can you give me another seven days? I want to say goodbye to everyone."
Yuying only has three months left to live.
Kangxi was stunned.
He shouldn't have stopped it, he thought.
It was not until Yuying asked if she could be given another seven days that a light flashed in Kangxi's eyes and he stared at Yuying nakedly.
Maybe Yuying isn't completely heartless to him, right?
At least she was willing to stay and say goodbye to him.
Kangxi loosened his grip on Yuying's hand, as if he was compromising.
[Can. ]
The system agreed.
Yuying and Kangxi looked at each other, and Yuying's guilt was finally reduced a little.
"Thank you, system."
[You’re welcome. You can treat this as a deal. Once the deal is done, you can naturally return to your original position.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, countless light spots surged around Yuying's body, and as the light spots slowly disappeared, Yuying's body, which had become heavy due to illness, became light again.
Yuying tried to feel her body and showed a look of surprise. She didn't expect there would be a surprise. She raised her head and looked at the system.
[During these seven days, you should say goodbye properly. At the same time seven days later, I will come to take you away.]
The system dropped these words and then disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Just by looking at the distraught Kangxi, one could tell that none of them could act as if nothing had happened.
Kangxi and Yuying were the only ones left in the West Warm Pavilion. It was late at night, and neither Kangxi nor Yuying spoke first. Only a candle was still emitting a faint light.
Under the candlelight, Kangxi wanted to force a smile. He tried to curl the corners of his mouth, but this smile was uglier than crying.
"Aying..." Kangxi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it out loud. He wanted to ask her if she had ever liked him, but he thought that it would be too naive for him to talk about love at his age.
Some words don't need to be said.
So in the end, he just told Yuying to go back and everything would be fine. He didn't even dare to tell her not to forget him.
Seeing that Kangxi was about to cry, Yuying reached out her hands and held Kangxi's face, saying with relief: "I am finally going home, Your Majesty. You should be happy for me. I hope you are happy for me."
Yuying wiped the water stains from the corners of Kangxi's eyes with her hands, "You are much more powerful than the Emperor Kangxi in my world. I believe that here, you are worthy of the title of 'The Greatest Emperor in History'."
"Don't cry. I promise that when I go home I will remember you and everything that happened during this period, okay?"
Kangxi suddenly pulled Yuying into his arms, buried his head in Yuying's neck, and said, "Okay, I will be happy for Aying."
Yuying gently hugged Kangxi back.
Like a pair of mandarin ducks embracing each other.
