In August, Ling Qingyu and He Li returned to Bianjing. When they appeared in the meeting hall at the same time, they shattered the rumors that had been circulating in Bianjing for more than half a year.
At the end of August, Zhao Yinfeng, who temporarily ceased fighting with Xiao Sui, quietly arrived in Bianjing, and had two secret talks with He Li during this period.
In September, all the new orders of the Ling family were promulgated, and they were carried out under the strong protection of the Luocha army. The government system of the Ling family formed a unified system with a clear division of labor and clear functions.
In September, an official wrote that the country cannot live without a king, and asked Ling Qingyu to ascend the throne and establish a new dynasty.
In October, He Li's generals were divided into several groups and stationed in different regions, and He Li's military power was completely delegated, which made the rumors of Bianjing quietly rise again.
In November, after the first snowfall, the wind howls in Wolong Peak, and the chill is overwhelming. The towering mountains are all white, and the fir trees still stand proudly under the white snow. Ice hangs on the cliffs, and there are gurgling mountain streams flowing below. When the clouds clear and the fog clears , the sun was shining and slanting, bringing out rounds of gorgeous halos, several children were playing snowball fights outside, and the laughter came in from the window, making the room more heated.
Slowly opened his eyes, looking at the dark circles under the eyes of the woman who was sleeping soundly in his arms, He Xin felt a pain in his heart, and raised his hand to help her comb her broken hair, looking at the back of his hand where the veins were exposed slightly twitched. Pause, and then use lighter movements to gather her hair up.
"He Li?" He called in a whisper, Ling Qingyu opened his eyes, and was awakened by a loud laugh outside the window, and heard Alan's roar outside, and then the sound of Ye Po coaxing the children to leave, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth , opened his eyes.
"Qing Yu," put his arms around her waist, He Li smiled and said, "Let's go to the Hall of Eternal Life."
Ling Qingyu was startled, He Li had already pressed her lips with his fingers, and said with a faint smile: "I don't feel any pain today, I guess it's the light of day, Qingyu, there will always be such a day, forgive me, I can't do it again Walk with you."
The eyes of the man in front of him were full of reluctance and pity, and his thinned cheeks made his face look more handsome than before. Ling Qingyu hugged his waist hard, and his waist, which was originally thick and strong, was almost full now. As soon as he grasped it, his seizures have been very severe in the past few months. Basically, he has not stopped for twelve hours a day. Alan's medicine is useless. It is just to spend one more day with himself. Suffering that extraordinary people can endure.
Although she said she would not cry, the tears still flowed down, and she hugged the man in her arms tightly, as if this could keep him and his life.
"Qing Yu," gently kissed those teardrops, He Li touched her body with his hands, and said in a low voice, "I don't feel any pain today, since I'm leaving soon, let's come here once?"
It was snowing all over the sky outside, but it was still as warm as spring in Spirit Snake Valley.
Leaning on Ling Qingyu, standing beside the ice jade bed and looking at Yang Zhao for a long time, He Li suddenly smiled and said, "Tell me, if I go down there, will the general kill me?"
Seeing that Ling Qingyu's eye circles were red again, he turned his head away and glanced at the other people in the hall, He Li sighed and said, "Hey, look, whether it's the general or Yan San, even Meng Suna The boys all look so young, only I am old and frail, and I am afraid that I will be laughed at by others." Then she smiled and supported her shoulders, walked to the empty Bingyu Terrace next to Yang Zhao, and sat on the table. Standing on the stage, she raised her head to wipe away the tears on her face, and said: "Okay, good girl, don't cry, I can accompany you for so long, much longer than them, I am already very content."
Leaning down, covering her pale lips with her mouth, Ling Qingyu hugged him, and kissed him deeply as if she had exhausted all her strength.
He Li gently pushed her away, did not let her kiss go deep, and lay down on her hand with a light smile.
Lying down on the ice jade platform, the cold air of ice jade made He Li tremble slightly, then put his arms around Ling Qingyu who was lying with him, kissed her on the face, and whispered: "Okay, get up Well, it's too cold in here."
Ling Qingyu buried her head into his neck, hugged him even tighter, tears flowed down his neck, and splashed a little bit of heat on the ice jade platform.
"If there is a next life, if you still want me, how about letting He Li accompany you to grow old?" He Li patted her on the back lightly, and whispered with a smile.
"I'm so bad, are you still willing to accompany me?" Ling Qingyu said in a muffled voice, still leaning on his shoulder.
"Silly girl..." The voice gradually weakened, and He Li's voice faintly lingered in Ling Qingyu's raised ears.
As long as you don't dislike me and still want me, He Li is willing to accompany you for life to life...until you grow old...
"I'm willing, He Li, I'm willing!" Whispering in his ear, seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth and the slow closing of his eyelids, Ling Qingyu couldn't help crying.
In November, the great general He Li who made great contributions to the founding of the Hua Dynasty passed away and was buried next to Yang Zhaozhi's tomb. In addition to the unanimous admiration for his achievements, later generations speculated more about his relationship with the empress. The most interesting thing is that He Li was in command at the time, and he could have taken the empress's place in his place. Seizing the throne, there is no other woman, but since he loves her so much, why doesn't he formally marry the empress? For this reason, there are many more speculations. For example, General He is actually a broken sleeve, and he is just using the empress to cover up, and so on...
