The case of the Regent's rebellion caused a sensation in the court and the country.
It was not just because he escaped from the Heavenly Prison, nor was it just because he secretly colluded with the Zhang Kingdom and intended to give away the ten cities of Datong.
Also because of his only little daughter, Duan Qinxue.
No one could have imagined that a little girl who was taken to live in the northwestern border by her uncle since she was a child would be able to turn the tide at the last moment, sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice, and save the lives of 10,000 soldiers.
Even after two days had passed, Duan Changchuan still couldn't calm down...
At night, the young man sitting under the grape tree in the yard was still depressed.
"I wrongly blamed her... I feel guilty."
He said softly.
Bai Su took his hand and comforted him softly, "But what your majesty did was wise. We can't gamble the fate of the entire country with the character of one person, right?"
The boy lowered his eyelashes: "I know... but I feel guilty..."
"Why don't we call her over tomorrow, ask her what her plans are for the future, and promise her something?"
"Well, okay..."
…
As the two were talking, Changle suddenly came running over, took out an envelope from her sleeve pocket, and presented it to him: "Your Majesty... The princess has passed away."
The boy's eyes widened: "What?"
Changle knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard from someone in the Princess's residence that the Princess... committed suicide this evening and passed away. There was a letter left on the Princess's desk, addressed to Your Majesty."
After saying that, he held the letter in both hands and presented it to him.
Duan Changchuan unfolded the letter.
Only then did I realize that in the two days after Duan Jing'an was shot to death, Duan Qinxue had been suffering from the condemnation of her conscience every day.
Who can accept that he shot his own father with his own hands
Even if her father was a heinous criminal.
She said:
[The world is bustling with people all because of profit; the world is bustling with people all because of profit.
But Duan Qinxue was unwilling.
When you live, you should live for justice; when you die, you should die for filial piety.
Duan Qinxue... finally lived up to the name "Qinxue".
I have no other wish in this life, except that Your Majesty and the people of the world will enjoy long-lasting blessings and peace.
Duan Qinxue's last work.]
Duan Changchuan held the letter and read it word by word, then he sighed...
He asked Changle for a brush and ink, and said, "Pass on my decree...bury the princess with princess ceremony, and posthumously confer her the title of Princess Datong, with the posthumous title..."
"As for the posthumous title, let's call it "Qin Xue"."
Bai Su said from the side.
The young man nodded and continued writing: "Yes, posthumous name is Qinxue."
Then he handed the decree to Changle and said, "Go."
Changle quickly bowed and took it: "Yes... I will go to the Princess's Mansion right away."
"Um."

This farce did not officially come to an end until early August.
As summer came to an end, the emperor returned to the palace in Shengjing.
In November of the same year, the empress gave birth to the first princess after the new emperor ascended the throne. She was given the name "Anhe", which means that the territory of Datong is peaceful and harmonious, and she is called "Princess Anhe".
It was the end of the year, in the cold winter.
Lin Qing, the newly crowned number one scholar, asked for permission to go to Huainan for training, saying that he wanted to benefit the people there.
The Crown Prince's wife, who was far away in Huainan, was infected with the disease and died after several months. Although the Crown Prince escaped, he was brought to Shengjing and beheaded in public.
So, on the New Year's Eve at the end of the year, everyone in the palace gathered together. Yun Xie, Feng Yan, Duan Changchuan and Bai Su held a banquet with the chubby Princess. The Queen Mother and Prime Minister Bai were also there.
While everyone was celebrating happily... except for Prime Minister Bai Yanyuan, whose eldest daughter had passed away and whose second daughter was separated by a blood feud, who seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
…
-
More than ten years later.
Prime Minister Bai worked hard in the court and never dared to have any thoughts of rebellion.
However, he could not withstand the passage of time and passed away in the spring of that year.
This year, Lord Lin Qinglin, the most prestigious person in the court and the country, was nominated as prime minister to assist the emperor and the empress in continuing to manage the government.
-
Fifty years later...
The emperor was in his twilight years and was bedridden. He no longer had the energy to govern, so he decreed that Princess Anhe would succeed to the throne.
On my deathbed…
His Alpha stood by the bed, holding his hand and kissing the gray hair on his temples.
"elder sister… "
He still kept shouting like that.
In the turbid eyes, there was a flash of clarity. At that moment, she was as beautiful as a piece of bright amber.
"In this life, Changchuan is very happy to have my sister by my side. If there is an afterlife, we will still be together..."
"I am very happy to be able to come into this world with you in this life."
"I often wonder... what would have happened in the previous world if we hadn't come here... But I always feel that now is the best arrangement."
"Sister, I'm leaving..."
"Take good care of yourself... If there is such a way, I will wait for you."
"Um... OK."
…

And in the modern day of the park 2025.
Hotels in Kyoto.
The curtains were drawn tightly, and only a little light came in from the window.
Thus, a thin gap of light led to the king-size bed.
The boy curled up into a ball, sleeping peacefully, with mottled red marks on his exposed arms.
The light fell on the long curled eyelashes, the eyelids trembled twice, and a pair of beautiful black eyes opened.
He stood up in surprise.
Modern curtains, a hotel bed, a fluffy lamb blanket... What is this...
Is it modern
Duan Changchuan blinked, unable to believe it.
[Am I... back?]
When he stood up, he moved the quilt under him and found that there was another person lying beside him. It was Bai Su, whom he had just said goodbye to when he was old and gray.
The young man touched her young and beautiful face with trembling fingers.
This morning is so beautiful... I'm afraid it will turn into ashes in the next moment.
The more than fifty years we spent together flashed through my mind.
Together they seized imperial power, gave birth to two sons, set off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and celebrated New Year's Eve every year.
Stunned, the woman suddenly straightened her eyes.
The long and narrow eyes are still so charming.
"Sister...sister?" He blurted out almost reflexively.
Afterwards, it seemed like they were in modern times, just two days after their marriage. A bit of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face: "I'm sorry... I..."
The next second, he was hugged tightly in his arms.
"Duan Changchuan..." She called his name and said, "That's great... We are still here."
With just one sentence, he knew that Bai Su was still his Bai Su.
She is the sister who went through fire and water for him and then supported him through thick and thin.
"Hmm..." He came out of her arms and nodded heavily: "I think so too, it's great..."
It’s great that we can still see each other.
That’s great, when we say goodbye, you are still you.
The two looked at each other, and curled their lips at the same time...
But as she laughed, tears rolled out of Bai Su's eyes.
He stroked her eyes in panic: "Sister... don't cry, don't cry..."
Alpha smiled and nodded: "Don't cry, sister, I just... miss you too much..."
She said: "Duan Changchuan, I really miss you."
Now…
Actually, me too.
