It was winter again. Deep in Hanyi Lane in Shangjing, there was suddenly a violent cough. The cough was so severe that it sounded like the man wanted to cough out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to feel better.
Just at this moment, a man dressed in brown cloth, with a white face and no beard, carrying a basket of vegetables, greeted the older sister next door who had just returned from selling tofu with a smile and entered the yard.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the man in an ivory robe sitting in the middle of the yard practicing calligraphy. The man carrying a basket of vegetables put down the vegetables in his hand when he saw him like this. "Oh, my god, why are you coming out of the house again? You haven't recovered yet, and you really can't stand the cold now. Have you forgotten what happened last time? Come in quickly, come in quickly..."
"Xiao Luzi, why do you worry more and more as you get older?" The man in white put down his pen, washed his hands with the clean water beside him, and said with a smile.
"I am a worrier. I used to worry about the Imperial Concubine..." Xiao Luzi just started talking, and when he saw the white-clothed man's expression froze, he immediately cried out in his heart that something was wrong. Then he immediately picked up the basket beside him and said excitedly, "Master, the monthly allowance was paid very early this month, a full twenty taels. Apart from the money for buying medicine for you, we can save a lot if we spend it frugally. When the time comes, I will make you a winter coat. I'll go to Wangji at the corner of the street. Their fabrics..."
Mu Yuanxiu looked at the person in front of him who was trying hard to change the subject, and smiled faintly, "Okay, it's okay if you really mention Rong Si to me now. There's nothing wrong with mentioning a husband and wife. Recently, I heard storytellers saying that His Royal Highness Prince Rui loves beauty more than the country. I really didn't expect that she was actually involved with Mu Yichen, and I didn't expect that Mu Yichen would even give up the country that was within his grasp for her..."
"Master..." Xiao Luzi called out with a worried look on his face.
After all, he still remembered that when he heard the news that the former Prince Jing had taken the Imperial Concubine to Jizhou with the intention of dying with her, his master vomited blood on the spot and was unconscious for three days and three nights. Even when he woke up in the morning, he couldn't walk steadily and had to crawl to Jizhou. God knows that when he woke up early in the morning and saw the former emperor crawling on the ground with his hands in his underwear, he was scared to death. Later, when he helped him up, Mu Yuanxiu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was feverish and a little unconscious, and he kept muttering the word "Si'er".
Alas, why bother
These few words flashed through Xiao Luzi's mind at that time: Why bother
Concubine Qi, Concubine Hui and others who had come to take care of the emperor before, packed up their things and left as soon as they heard that the new emperor had left Shangjing. In the end, he was the only homeless eunuch left to take care of this down-and-out emperor.
The key point was that he couldn't drink the medicine he boiled for him, and he kept muttering the name of the imperial concubine. It was not until he saw General Rong enter the capital many days later, and heard that His Royal Highness Prince Rui had rescued the imperial concubine, that the emperor drank the medicine. However, his body still collapsed. Once the weather got cold, he would cough constantly and needed medicine to nourish him. If it weren't for General Rong, oh no, he should be called the emperor now, if it weren't for the emperor's kindness and the monthly allowance, I'm afraid he and Mu Yuanxiu would not have survived the winter.
From then on, he seldom mentioned the Imperial Concubine in front of the Emperor.
Well, I have to say that the Imperial Concubine is really powerful. I heard that the man in the palace never took a concubine or a queen, which was to leave the position of queen for the Imperial Concubine.
At that time, he even asked foolishly, "Isn't the emperor the brother of the imperial concubine? How can the imperial concubine be his queen?"
Hush, Xiaoluzi, are you stupid? Are you shouting so loudly because you are afraid that the imperial guards can't hear you? Let me tell you, the emperor is not the son of General Rong at all, and the imperial concubine is not the daughter of General Rong's first wife. The two have no blood relationship, so why can't she be made the queen
Aunt Zhang, who called him Xiaolu, often liked to gossip about other people. However, he never knew that he could get money for gossiping. He once met a man in armor who secretly gave her money and encouraged her to continue gossiping.
Later, he saw the man in armor on the road again. That time, it was when the Yulin Guards were out to catch people. Oh, yes, the Yulin Guards were a pair of soldiers newly established by Emperor Rong, specializing in catching people. It is said that they are omnipresent. No matter what you do at home, they know it clearly. Moreover, their methods are extremely bloody. They dare to take people's lives in public. People in Shangjing City don't know how many times they have witnessed it. Later, they gradually became numb. They all knew that the newly enthroned emperor had fierce methods, but their lives were getting better and better, and no one complained about him anymore. Ah, the hot pot restaurant that opened recently on East Street tastes really good. The glass cups are also easy to use, and the soap is cleaner than soap...
"Alas, I heard from Aunt Zhang that the emperor seemed to have gone to Mount Tai recently. Why did he go to Mount Tai for no apparent reason? What is there to see in the middle of winter..."
Xiao Luzi was thinking about the following short paragraph and he blurted it out without even realizing it.
"What did you say?"
"ah?"
"I asked you what you just said? Where did Aunt Zhang say the emperor went?" Mu Yuanxiu grabbed Xiao Luzi's arm and asked hurriedly.
"Ah? Tai... Mount Tai... She said the emperor went to Mount Tai..."
"Tarzan...Tarzan..."
Mu Yuanxiu's eyes condensed. According to his understanding, Rong Feizhou never did useless things. In the past year or so, he successfully brainwashed everyone in Shangjing, and determined that the future position of the queen would only belong to Rong Si. Those officials who opposed him, and even those who wanted to attack and annihilate Rong Si in the future, were all killed by him in the most bloody way. In addition, the many ideas he came up with improved the lives of the people bit by bit, resulting in him being the only one who had the final say in the government. Except for the original Canghai Tower Master Qi Canghai, and the current Zhennan Hou who still had some power, the court had been completely cleaned up by Rong Feizhou. The key point is that even the Zhennan Hou who could speak up is now a hands-off boss, not caring about anything at all, drinking and eating hot pot with his subordinates every day, and living a very unhappy life.
He chose to go to Mount Tai at this time
Si Er...
Mu Yuanxiu's heart sank.
At the same time, Rong Feizhou glanced at the subordinates kneeling in front of him, "Are you sure Shao Qingwei is going this way?"
"Your Majesty, confirmed."
After Rong Feizhou saw the man in front of him finish his answer, he looked at him with difficulty.
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, Shao Qingwei knows so many things, and we haven't even gotten the truth out of her yet. Your Majesty, how can you..."
"How could I let her leave?"
"yes… "
"Heh, isn't she still under our control now?"
"But the old Taoist priest mentioned the Nine Stars in a Row, and Shao Qingwei is such a weird woman, if..."
"There is no if. Not only will I not let her leave, Xiao Si will not let her leave either..."
When the man heard the emperor talking about the former imperial concubine, he immediately fell silent. After hearing Rong Feizhou say the word "go", he breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
You have to know that he was originally a soldier who followed the emperor into the barracks. He was considered a confidant promoted by the emperor. He knew everything about the emperor, and many things were ordered by him. But in the past year, the emperor has changed so much. The most important thing is that his thoughts have become more and more profound and more and more unpredictable.
This change has actually already begun. If we really want to trace it back, we may have to trace it back to the beginning of that letter...
"Give the order to prepare to march to Jizhou."
On the second day, after thinking for a whole night, Rong Feizhou, with a haggard face, came out of the tent and gave these instructions.
"General!" Everyone looked at Rong Feizhou in disbelief. They were supposed to arrive in Shangjing soon, but they heard that Mu Lianxuan only had 200,000 soldiers in Shangjing at the moment. How could the general...
"Mu Lianxuan went to Jizhou, taking Xiao Si with him... I must go and save her."
As soon as they heard Rong Si's name, the deputy generals below all fell silent. A few people who wanted to speak also fell silent when they saw Rong Feizhou's expression.
A group of people started to get angry after leaving the tent. They thought that if they followed Rong Feizhou and left Yongzhou, they were rebelling. They were just tying their heads to the waist of their pants and living on the edge of a knife. This guy was so good that he said he would not do it for a woman. Wasn't he playing tricks on them? Huh? Just a sister. If he got the throne, what kind of woman did he want? What kind of things did he not have? I heard that the woman and the general were half-siblings...
Rong Feizhou was well aware of the resentment and anger of his subordinates, but for Rong Si he had no choice.
One day later, the army arrived at a place called Handin Village. As soon as the army camped on the plain outside the town, they found a scholar in blue clothes hanging directly under a big locust tree behind the hillside. When they rescued him, he had already died. Almost at the same time, an elderly couple from a nearby village ran over, and when they saw the scholar's body, they burst into tears.
Later they learned from the villagers who followed the old couple that the young scholar originally had a child bride who was in love with him, but unfortunately the girl was too beautiful and was favored by a wealthy man in the next town, who snatched her away and bribed the county magistrate to deprive him of his status as a scholar on the grounds of misbehavior. It was heard that his beautiful child bride seemed to have fallen in love with the rich life in the wealthy man's backyard and had no intention of turning back.
Almost at the same time, the vanguard soldiers that Rong Feizhou sent out to inquire about the situation had three horses run away and knelt in front of Rong Feizhou, "General, His Royal Highness Prince Rui's army is just as you expected. The army is stagnant and is now under the control of Qi Canghai. His Royal Highness Prince Rui led a team of soldiers and went directly to Jizhou. I heard that all of Prince Rui's troops have already joined Qi Canghai's army. After a day of rest, they are ready to go to Shangjing..."
This vanguard soldier was sent out immediately after he finished reading Mu Lianxuan's urgent letter. It took him two full days of non-stop work to make the round trip from here to Chongzhou.
As for the relationship between Rong Si and Mu Yichen, he had already realized it when he noticed the royal guards who wanted to protect Rong Si. In addition to Mu Lianxuan and Mu Yuanxiu who were in the open, there should be another force that had been paying attention to Xiao Si's every move, not to mention the plum blossom hairpin in her hand.
Before leaving Beijing, he threatened the son of the Imperial Guard and got what he wanted. It turned out that Mu Yichen had a close relationship with Xiao Si, and the fact that he could provide such protection that even Xiao Si didn't notice it might be because of more than just their close friendship.
I heard that the King Rui’s army led by Qi Canghai has probably already headed for Shangjing.
Rong Feizhou sat alone under the locust tree where the blue-clothed scholar hanged himself. He stayed up all night and finally, with a hoarse voice, he led his army from Handan Village straight to Shangjing. In fact, he chose Handan Village, which was closer to Shangjing, as his base, and he chose to send out the vanguard troops the moment he received the urgent letter. He thought he might have made the decision.
He knew clearly that Mu Lianxuan loved Xiao Si deeply, and even if no one from their armies went to save Xiao Si, he would not hurt Xiao Si in the slightest. He knew clearly that with Mu Yichen's careful consideration for Xiao Si, and his understanding of Mu Yichen's character, he would never abandon Xiao Si. He knew even more clearly that there was a deep gulf between him and Rong Si, called brother and sister. He could see clearly that there was no emotion in her eyes for him. If he did not rely on external forces, he might not even be able to keep her. And with her appearance, if she threw herself into the arms of other powerful people in the future, he would not even be able to refuse.
Power is a good thing, it always brings people what they want. Without power, he is just the son of a poor scholar, unable to even provide Xiao Si with a good life. He was even kept in the dark about his father's death and was played around with by others. He was filled with regret, pain, entanglement, and madness, but he could not control the tiny joy that inexplicably grew in his heart.
How despicable, how terrible, how clear-headed, and how sad he is.
There was only one way left, that was the only way he had, to keep Xiao Si and cover up his despicable self.
Yes, this is the only way.
Rong Feizhou, who was sitting under a tree, glanced at the rising sun in the sky and thought so.
After regaining his consciousness, Rong Feizhou looked down at his empty hands. Xue Yuqiu disappeared in the ancestral temple half a year ago. According to the information sent by the Yulin Guards, she went to Mount Tai. Shao Qingwei kept talking about Mount Tai and the nine stars in a row, leaving Xiao Si alone in this ancient place to fend for herself...
Although the woman's mind was not clear, she spoke the truth.
Rong Feizhou smiled slightly.
About ten days later, Rong Feizhou brought several Yulin Guards to the foot of Mount Tai. Each of the Yulin Guards was a hidden master, and they all hid without him saying much.
And Shao Qingwei actually stayed in a small inn in the town, as if she was waiting for something.
That night, it started snowing lightly, and the snow kept getting heavier in the second half of the night, catching everyone off guard.
Shao Qingwei was almost woken up by the cold in her bed. When she woke up and saw the snow-covered world outside, she couldn't help but let out a wail.
But she still got up early in the morning and bought a lot of warm clothes and even dry food on the street. She even wrapped up the gold and silver jewelry she had stolen from the palace before and put it on her chest, as if she was about to go on a long journey.
Around dusk, the woman began to climb Mount Tai.
Even though his face was red from the cold, he could not suppress the joy and excitement in his eyes.
At the same time, in Yinye Village at the foot of Mount Tai, the gate of a house also opened.
Two bloated villagers came out directly, with only their small faces showing outside.
As soon as they saw the two of them go out, the villagers outside immediately greeted them enthusiastically, "Hey, Mr. Rong, is Sister-in-law Rong going up the mountain again?"
"Yes!" The one who answered him was the extremely fair-skinned sister-in-law of the Rong family.
Who else could the face that turned around belong to but Xue Yuqiu.
"My lady, let's go!" The man who stretched out his hand to greet her turned around and it was the dark-skinned version of Rong Si.
Xue Yuqiu rolled her eyes at her, and Rong Si smiled even more happily.
In the past six months, she has been living in this small mountain village with Xue Yuqiu, trying hard to instill modern knowledge in her, and even coaxing the system to issue her a modern ID card to prevent her from becoming an illegal resident in the modern world.
Xue Yuqiu accepted it all without any questions.
When they reached the snowy mountain road, she couldn't help herself and said, "Rong Si, you know that place so well, why did you go there? Instead, I..."
Hearing Xue Yuqiu's question, Rong Si smiled and said, "I'm different from you. I will go there sooner or later..." But it may not be in the same dimension as you.
Thinking of this, Rong Si smiled again.
Xue Yuqiu didn't understand.
"Instead of being abandoned by everyone and spending the rest of your life alone with Buddhist books, why not change to a different environment? You are only twenty-one years old, too young..."
"You sound very old..."
Rong Si just smiled and said nothing.
"You... are you doing this for His Royal Highness Prince Rui?" Xue Yuqiu asked again after a long time. In fact, even she didn't know that Rong Si had provoked four men at the same time. Not to mention Mu Yuanxiu, who was originally their husband, but who would have thought that she entered the palace for His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and the new emperor Rong Feizhou is Rong Si's brother, but news has leaked that they are not biological siblings. When she left Shangjing, almost everyone in Shangjing had accepted Rong Si as the queen, not to mention His Royal Highness Prince Rui who had been taking care of them seriously for more than a year.
In fact, if she were to say, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is the best. The two Mu brothers are too bad, and Rong Feizhou is the older brother after all, so it feels a bit awkward.
As she was thinking about this, Xue Yuqiu had already followed Rong Si to the halfway point of the mountain and followed her into a cave that had been prepared long ago.
"You said someone would come today? Who is it? You have been teasing me for more than a year..."
Before Xue Yuqiu could finish her words, Rong Si suddenly covered her mouth, and immediately a sound of footsteps on the snow came from the other side of the mountain road.
Xue Yuqiu looked at the woman approaching from afar and her eyes widened instantly. He turned his head to look at Rong Si's slightly raised mouth and actually felt that she might have known that Shao Qingwei would definitely come.
Thinking of all the amazing poems this woman had said before, Xue Yuqiu's eyes widened even more. Could it be...
They watched the woman tremble as she looked up at the sky and cursed softly, but because they were too far away, they couldn't hear clearly what she said.
Then she sat down anywhere.
When the moon was about to rise in the sky, Xue Yuqiu looked in surprise at the nine stars that were about to form a line in the dark blue sky.
"Walk!"
Rong Si urged, and rushed out of the cave with Xue Yuqiu.
"Rong Si, how come... it's mine, this opportunity is mine!" Shao Qingwei was horrified.
When the nine stars were completely connected in a line, a circle of light suddenly appeared on the ground, covering Shao Qingwei completely.
Rong Si took two steps forward and pushed her to the ground. She had learned a lot from following Mu Yichen for more than a year, and she directly pinned the screaming Shao Qingwei to the ground.
"Come on! Why are you in a daze?" Rong Si called out to Xue Yuqiu.
"oh!"
"Rong Si, you bitch, you must die a horrible death, you must die a horrible death! This is my chance, it's mine! Why don't you go back yourself and not let me go back, bitch, bitch, I'm going to kill you..."
Shao Qingwei was suppressed to the point where she was completely unable to move, and could only curse loudly using all the words she had learned in her life.
Rong Si picked her ears, looking impatient.
Just at this moment, she suddenly heard the word "Xiao Si". When she turned around, she saw Rong Feizhou, wearing a white mink coat, standing at the end of the mountain road, looking at her silently.
Rong Si looked at him, and Xue Yuqiu beside her happened to be standing in the center of the aperture.
"Rong Si..." She heard her shout worriedly, and the next second she disappeared.
Rong Si was blinded by the light and subconsciously covered her eyes, but Shao Qingwei under her let out the most desperate howl of her life. Then she stared blankly at Xue Yuqiu who disappeared without a trace, and with a fierce look in her eyes, she directly threw Rong Si to the ground.
"I will kill you!" She had just shouted when Rong Feizhou stepped forward and kicked her, sending her flying onto a cliff on the side. She fainted before she could even catch her breath.
Rong Si quickly stood up and stepped back.
Rong Feizhou saw her action, his eyes dimmed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Xiao Si, brother is here to take you home..."
Rong Si frowned and stepped back again.
"Xiao Si, now I have taken care of everything, all you need to do is come home with me, ok? Come here..."
Rong Feizhou smiled again.
"Rong Feizhou, you have now obtained the throne and power, what else do you want? I don't like the palace, nor do I like the harem. From now on, you will be the emperor of Wei, and I will be my little villager. We are not brother and sister, so why don't we keep out of each other's way?" Rong Si suggested with a smile.
"Xiao Si, are you blaming me?"
"No, it's just that I know you just picked what you wanted, so stop using me as an excuse."
"I didn't use you as an excuse. Now this beautiful land belongs to my Rong family. As long as you come back with me, you will be my only queen, my only wife, and we will live a good life like before. What Mu Yichen can give you, I can give you ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, as long as you come back with me."
"We were originally brother and sister..."
"It will be the same in the future. If you don't want to be the queen, you can just be the eldest princess. Come back with me. Mu Yichen is a traitor now. If you follow him, he can't give you anything except wandering. You have been pampered since childhood, and you want the best food, clothing and daily necessities. As long as you come back with me, even if you don't become the queen, you will be the most noble woman in the Wei Dynasty... Come here, Xiao Si..."
"Rong Feizhou, you... you are too greedy..."
"People are greedy by nature. My imperial guards have surrounded the entire mountain. You have no choice but to come back with me."
"Really?" Rong Si stepped back again.
Rong Feizhou's pupils shrank instantly, and he used his Qinggong to quickly reach Rong Si's side, but just as he stretched out his hand, "Rong Si!"
But he didn't expect that he only grabbed a piece of her clothes.
"Si'er!"
A heart-wrenching roar also came from behind him.
Then the man came running over, stumbling.
The second time, he saw Rong Si fall from in front of him with his own eyes.
“Master…” Looking ahead, Xiao Luzi, who was following behind him, shouted in astonishment.
Then everyone looked up and saw a piece of white appearing in front of them. A large glider was flying straight into the distance. The two people on it were none other than Rong Si and Mu Yichen.
"Chase!" Rong Feizhou stared at the white snow and suddenly waved his hand.
"Master, you are okay... Master..."
"It's too cold down there. You've kept me waiting for too long. Is Xue Yuqiu gone?"
"Um."
"Where are you from?"
"no."
"Will you leave later?"
"uncertain."
"... If you really want to leave, I hope you can tell me in advance..."
"Try as much as you can."
Unfortunately, it came too early. Only ten years later, Mu Yichen, who had just woken up in the morning, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. When he opened his eyes, he could no longer feel the presence of the mother silkworm.
"Rong Si..." He rushed out of the yard and shouted hoarsely.
No, no, nowhere...
The next second he saw Rong Feizhou pushing open the gate. When their eyes met, he understood the despair in his eyes.
"Impossible!" Rong Feizhou took two steps forward and knocked Mu Yichen to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.
“Impossible… Impossible… Impossible…” he kept repeating this.
He had been looking for her for ten years, searching for her for ten years, thinking about her for ten years, and he sat on the throne just for her. Why, why, why...
He had already prepared everything. As long as Xiao Si went back with him, as long as she went back with him, he didn't need her to be his queen. She just needed to stay by his side like before, so that he could see her whenever he turned his head. That would be all...
Rong Si!
Rong Feizhou looked at Mu Yichen who had no intention of fighting back, raised his fist again with red eyes, and then smashed it hard on the ground on the side of his cheek. Because the force was so great, Mu Yichen could even hear a crisp sound from his hand bones, followed by a strong smell of blood.
There was no fluctuation in Mu Yichen's eyes.
Rong Feizhou stood up and said in a cold voice, "Consider the past ten years as my alms to you. I will find Xiao Si no matter what, whether you are deliberately acting or Xiao Si is really missing. I will use up the rest of my life to find her and take her away from you completely..."
No matter how many mountains and rivers there are, or how thorny the road is, he will find her.
Hearing this, Mu Yichen smiled softly and did not intend to answer.
It would be great if you could find her... Now he couldn't even feel the silkworm. Rong Si was gone, and it was very likely that she had gone back. In this world, there would be no trace of her anymore, in heaven or on earth. So what about him? What should he do
He had lived in the hatred of his mother for the first half of his life, pretending to be crazy and stupid to get by, just for the sake of survival and revenge. It was Rong Si who gave him a third meaning. The country and the beauty, the country and the beauty, he was so glad that Rong Feizhou chose a completely different path from him. He was not interested in the country. His master once commented on him, that he was kind but not ruthless enough. In other words, he was not suitable to be an emperor. Rong Feizhou was much more suitable than him. Even Canghai thought so. So when he gave up the opportunity to enter Shangjing for Rong Si, he did not persuade him much. He even collected and arranged his soldiers and generals and took them on the road.
How lucky he had been!
Unfortunately, it was too short, so short that he hadn’t said so many things to Rong Si, and hadn’t taken Rong Si to see so many beautiful scenes. The most important thing was that even though his heart might have been burning like fire, he had never told Rong Si that he loved her, and asked if she would not leave for him, and if she would stay for him, a little longer, and a little longer…
But he didn't dare to make any inappropriate attempts. For more than ten years, the two of them had always treated each other with respect, drinking and dining together like friends, and buying household items together. He thought he would wait, he thought the other party would see him, he thought...
Mu Yichen stared blankly at the gray sky, and after a long time he laughed again. The louder he laughed, the more desolate and desperate he seemed in this empty and boundless wilderness.
Rong Si, how cruel are you? How heartless are you
Another ten years passed, and Mu Yichen and Rong Feizhou searched for her for another ten years, but unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found. It was as if Rong Si had never appeared in this world at all, and had completely disappeared.
Mu Yuanxiu didn't learn the news until half a year after Rong Si disappeared. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he suddenly felt enlightened. He took Xiao Luzi to travel around. He heard that Rong Feizhou had almost traveled the entire world and was even going to the other side of the ocean.
Mu Yichen returned to the small courtyard where he and Rong Si lived and never left.
One day, Mu Yuanxiu passed by Suzhou and got lost in a peach forest. He unexpectedly heard the voices of a group of children laughing.
"Fool, idiot, I want candy, and more candy..."
"Fool, idiot, has your wife come back to see you? Hehehe..."
"I knew she wouldn't come back. She's not a fool. She won't be with a fool. Besides, you're a cripple and a beggar..."
"Hehe, yes, yes, you always say that your wife is like a fairy, and fairies would look down on beggars!"
Mu Yuanxiu turned a corner and happened to see a dishevelled man who was whispering something. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and his legs seemed to have problems. He took out the candy from his arms tremblingly. He heard a few children smilingly congratulating him and his wife on their happy marriage, and then they all dispersed.
“Brother…” Mu Yuanxiu shouted in shock. He recognized that face. Who else could it be but Mu Lianxuan? He had been missing for so many years and he thought he was dead.
The fool seemed to be frightened, then turned around and smiled at him foolishly, then rushed past him quickly, walked a long distance away and looked back at him.
"elder brother… "
Mu Yuanxiu wanted to chase him, but although the fool had difficulty walking, he was very familiar with the road and disappeared in a short while.
Not until he had completely shaken off Mu Yuanxiu did Mu Lianxuan's limping steps gradually slow down, his silly expression disappeared, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, but his eyes looked like he was crying.
Looking at the peach forest in front of him, he felt as if the woman in pink would appear in front of him in the next second.
She will appear, he told himself.
So you must not leave.
Behind him, Mu Yuanxiu stopped panting, looked at the direction where his brother disappeared, sighed, turned his head to look at the small path behind him, and smiled gently at him, "Let's go, let's go back..."
"Master, but..."
"Let him be."
Before leaving, Mu Yuanxiu looked back again. Perhaps there really was retribution in the dark. He had been traveling for many years but still couldn't let go of Rong Si, but he had never dreamed of her. Mu Lianxuan was half crazy and half insane. He survived by chance, but he lived a miserable life. His foot that fell from the city wall was already necrotic, and even the bones were exposed, but he never wanted to seek medical treatment.
Rong Feizhou held on to an illusory dream and almost turned the whole world upside down. Although he gained nothing, he was still unwilling to give up. Mu Yichen should be considered the luckiest. Rong Si had been with him for ten years, but at the same time he was the saddest. He had it and then lost it. The things of the past often popped up to gnaw at his heart. Holding on to the memories of the past, he lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, unwilling to wake up.
Ten years passed, and then another ten years. Mu Yuanxiu had passed away early due to health reasons, and Mu Lianxuan's frozen body was found under a peach tree one day. Rong Feizhou searched for him all his life, and he expanded the territory of the Wei Dynasty even overseas, but he never married.
After Mu Yichen fell down after a rain, he became completely unable to take care of himself.
On his deathbed, he leaned against the magnolia tree in the yard, which he and Rong Si had planted together earlier, and now it had grown into a lush tree.
In a daze, he unexpectedly saw Rong Si, whom he had met for the first time, appear in front of him again. She had delicate eyebrows and youthful face, and she smiled at him.
"You, are you here to pick me up?"
Mu Yichen also smiled, then slowly closed his eyes, and the white jade flower petals instantly fell all over his body and face.
