Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

In just a few breaths, He Yunjie fell to the ground.

Chu Zhao was standing a few steps away, and the muffled sound of the landing seemed to hit her heart hard, causing her heart to throb suddenly and her breathing to pause at that moment.

Blood quickly seeped out from the back of He Yunjie's head, dyeing the bricks under him red, and flowing along every crack in the bricks.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Chu Zhao with his last consciousness, his narrow phoenix eyes gradually losing their luster.

At the end of his life, what passed before his eyes was the day Chu Zhao first entered the palace, when he took her to find Gao Lin to arrange a place for her.

At that time, the autumn rain had just stopped, and a gust of wind blew through the corridor of Ci'an Palace. The two people's loose robes were blown by the wind, and they were entangled with each other from time to time, like duckweed in the river, blown together and scattered by the wind. Can't stop.

Chu Zhao didn't pay attention at that time, and he also managed to avoid her by some strange combination of circumstances, always keeping a close distance from her.

At that time, he thought that his mind was firm and would not be affected by anyone. No matter how violent the wind was, his heart could remain firm.

But now, when his life is about to come to an end, he discovers that he is actually still interested.

As for when his heart began to flutter, he had no idea.

Perhaps it was the first meeting in the dungeon of Wuzhou General Military Mansion that was so stunning.

Perhaps it was the shock of her fighting with the Confucians and killing all the Confucians in the Chengtian Palace.

Maybe she held his chin and pressed him against the palace wall to tease him.

Perhaps she imitated the queen's tone and playfully called him brother Yunjie.

Perhaps it was the confrontation between them over and over again.

Or maybe, before they met, he had already developed different feelings for her from the letters sent from Yunzhou one after another.

He had plans for her, he had indulged her, he had hurt her, and he had pity for her. He had been soft-hearted to her more than once, and he had burned her body to ashes without mercy.

But these are not important now.

He looked at her and asked with a weak breath: "You said... you like me a little bit... is it true?"

"Yes." Chu Zhao nodded, "A little bit indeed, if we are not opponents."

"Okay... I understand." He Yunjie smiled with satisfaction, and finally said goodbye to her, "Chu Zhao, goodbye!"

His eyes slowly closed, like twilight covering the earth, isolating the last trace of affection in his eyes.

It was as if the wind that day had never passed through the corridor, nor had it passed through his heart...

"Goodbye, He Yunjie!" Chu Zhao said, although he could no longer hear him.

This time, we really will never see each other again.

Never see.

Feng Guanlan stood next to Chu Zhao, looking at He Yunjie's closed eyes. He was silent for a long time, smacking his lips and saying: "Damn it, forget it if you don't say goodbye to me. You won't even give me a chance to close your eyes. Xiao Ge is so heartless. ."

Chu Zhao's depressed mood was swept away by his words, and he said angrily and funnyly: "You are so reluctant to leave, I will leave the funeral affairs of Mr. Xiaoge to you."

Feng Guanlan: "...Actually, I'm not that reluctant to let go. I'm just afraid that the princess won't let go."

Chu Zhao sneered lightly: "What should I be reluctant to give up? In my eyes, he is just a very interesting opponent."

Feng Guanlan raised his eyebrows: "But didn't you just admit that you like him a little bit?"

"That's just the last show of respect for your opponent." Chu Zhao said, "Bury him properly. Such a good-looking person deserves a decent coffin."

Feng Guanlan: "..."

It turns out that being good-looking has this benefit.

……

The vigorous palace seizure incident finally ended with the destruction of all members of the He family.

The Queen Mother died, and so did the Emperor. Chu Zhao took over the ownerless court naturally, commanded the officials, calmed the people, and organized the funerals of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Although she still holds the title of Princess Jingnan, everyone tacitly recognizes her identity as Emperor Gaozu. However, this matter is too strange and cannot be disclosed to the world publicly.

As Chu Zhao's confidant, Feng Guanlan had been asked more than a hundred times by the court officials whether the ancestor planned to sit on the throne himself, or whether he planned to choose a new emperor from among the children of Emperor Taihe.

Feng Guanlan didn't know what Chu Zhao was thinking, so he asked when Chu Zhao was not so busy.

Chu Zhao said there was no rush and would wait until the funerals of the Queen Mother and the Emperor were over.

With her in charge, Feng Guanlan was naturally not in a hurry, so he told the ministers that everyone should do their jobs well and not think too much. We would wait until the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were buried.

49 days later, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were buried in the imperial mausoleum a hundred miles west of Beijing.

Chu Zhao followed the funeral procession to the imperial mausoleum and saw his own tomb there.

As the founding emperor of the Dayan Dynasty, her mausoleum was the largest and most magnificent, occupying the frontmost position of the entire imperial mausoleum.

The rest of the Chu family's descendants are behind her, arranged in order of seniority.

It's a pity that Xiao Chi, who was supposed to be buried with her, is not here. Instead, he was buried under Yanyun Pass in accordance with Xiao Chi's last wish.

He said that he could not share peace with her while alive, and would protect this territory for her even after death.

Chu Zhao sat in front of his mausoleum, remembering Xiao Chi's words before he died, and his eyes filled with tears.

Yanyunguan, which Xiao Chi had guarded for 200 years, has now become a raging battlefield. Murong Xiao and the Jingnan Army have been fighting there for nearly a month.

I hope Xiao Chi can protect them and expel the Beidi people as soon as possible so that the people on the border can live a stable life again.

"I've been too busy these days to ask about the battle situation over there. I don't know how the prince and the others are doing?" she asked Feng Guanlan who was following her.

Feng Guanlan said: "The war is going very well. The prince has recaptured five cities one after another, and the Beidi people have been defeated steadily. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to drive them out of Yanyunguan by the end of the year."

After hearing what he said, Chu Zhao realized that the new year was coming soon.

"I hope, I hope the war will go smoothly, so that the people on the border can spend the New Year in peace."

"It will definitely happen." Feng Guanlan said, "The prince is a descendant of General Murong, and his blood is flowing through his body. He will definitely drive the Beidi people back to their hometown."

"That being said, the Jingnan Army is an army from the south. It's okay in the short term, but over time, I'm worried that they won't be able to adapt to the cold climate in the north." Chu Zhao said worriedly.

Feng Guanlan comforted her again: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We have sufficient preparations for combat preparations and will not cause hardship to the soldiers on the front line. Besides, not only the Jingnan Army is fighting with the prince, but also the [-] soldiers from the Northwest Guards Station. With everyone's cooperation, We will surely achieve final victory.”

"I hope so." Chu Zhao said, "It would be great if Xiao Chi was there too."

"..." Feng Guanlan did not answer immediately. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty misses General Xiao again?"

"There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it." Chu Zhao raised his hand and put it on his heart, "You and Xiao Chi, one is my biggest regret, and the other is my biggest concern."

When she said this, she suddenly remembered something: "In previous lives, in addition to looking for Xiao Chi, I also inquired about you, but no one knew where you went in the end. It was like you disappeared out of thin air. Xu Hui , tell me, what happened to you in the end in that life?"
