Yin Hong smiled, looking a little bewildered, "I don't know, maybe traveling around the world, going to places you wanted to go but couldn't go to before you died, and seeing all the prosperity in this world. It can be considered as... fulfilling your wish."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare some money for you later."

Xu Xingyin did not try to persuade him, but just nodded. Then, as if afraid of being rejected by Yin Hong, he quickly added a sentence.

"Since it's Ayang's wish, I have to do something about it."

Yin Hong did not refuse, just said "thank you" and turned and left.

His back gradually moved away in the twilight until he disappeared from sight.

After walking for a long distance, Yin Hong slowly turned back.

Xu Xingyin stood quietly in front of Lu Xu's tombstone. In the drifting wind and snow, his figure seemed even thinner and more determined.

The fluttering snowflakes fell gently, as if dyeing Xu Xingyin's black hair with a layer of silver.

Lu Xu's tombstone was also covered with thick snow, which contrasted nicely with Xu Xingyin's hair.

Yin Hong sighed, and his voice drifted away in the cold wind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sadness and relief.

"If we can get wet in the snow together one day, we can grow old together in this life. My lord, your wish has finally come true."

The wind blew, causing the white flag in front of the tomb to flutter slightly, as if responding to something.

Xu Xingyin didn't remember how long he had been standing in front of Lu Xu's tomb. It seemed that the colder the wind and snow were, the more he could temporarily suppress the depression in his heart.

In the silence, the sound of light footsteps broke the stillness.

Xu Xingyin glanced at the sky which had darkened even more, and guessed that it must be Dan Feng and the others who came to urge him to return to the palace. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a cloak gently fall on her shoulders.

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, Xu Xingyin turned her head and smelled a faint scent of ambergris coming from the cloak. She was very familiar with this smell; it was the incense that Jing Zhichen usually used.

Xu Xingyin widened her eyes and turned around abruptly, and sure enough, she saw Jing Zhichen standing quietly behind her, his eyes deep and gentle.

"It's freezing cold, and you're weak, how can you be so willful?"

Xu Xingyin was a little surprised, "Isn't His Highness treating the poison in Tianshan?"

Jing Zhichen responded swiftly, "I know Lu Xu was buried today, so I came back specially. Lu Xu died for justice, and it is reasonable for me to come and pay my respects. Moreover, he was your good friend, so I should not be absent."

After speaking these righteous words, Xu Xingyin saw the white bouquet of flowers and a pot of wine in Jing Zhichen's hands.

It is the finest Lihuachun, Lu Xu's favorite wine.

Afterwards, Jing Zhichen did not speak to Xu Xingyin anymore. Instead, he slowly walked to the grave, gently placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, and bowed deeply.

Then he opened the wine jug and poured out two cups of sake. He poured one cup in a half circle around the tombstone and raised the other cup himself and spoke slowly.

"Lu Xu, although you and I have had different positions, I, Jing Zhichen, have always admired your courage and sense of justice. Thank you for protecting Jiaojiao that day. I promise you that I will take good care of Jiaojiao in the future and will not let her get involved in any danger again. Today, I offer this wine to you, and I hope your soul in heaven can rest in peace."

After Jing Zhichen finished speaking, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp and then turned to look at Xu Xingyin.

The tenderness in the eyes can almost drive away all the hardships.

"Lu Xu likes martial arts. I heard that he would go to the charity hall to teach martial arts to the children in his spare time. After returning to the palace, I will write to my father and build a charity hall in the name of Lu Xu to take in those homeless children. I will teach them to read and write, and to learn martial arts to strengthen their bodies. I hope that when they grow up, they can also become people like Lu Xu who help the weak and fight against the strong. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Xu Xingyin felt warm in his heart, and his mood, which had been depressed for a long time, finally brightened up a little.

"Your Highness, this is a brilliant move! Ayang has always upheld justice. If he knew that his legacy could be carried on, he would be very happy."

"The name of the charity hall will have to trouble my Crown Princess to think of one."

"Then let's call it Yang Ming Tang." Xu Xingyin answered without hesitation, and then explained, "Becoming famous all over the world is the dream that Ah Yang has been thinking about since he was young."

"Okay, then let's call it Yang Ming Tang."

As Jing Zhichen spoke, he gently held Xu Xingyin's hand and slowly wrapped her cold fingers into his palm.

"Jiaojiao, it's time for us to go home."

"Okay, go home."

Feeling her slightly cool fingertips being wrapped in warmth, Xu Xingyin's depression gradually melted away under this warmth. She responded softly and let Jing Zhichen take her away.

The two walked side by side on the way back to the palace. Although the wind and snow were strong, Xu Xingyin felt warm in his heart.

It was as if, as long as Jing Zhichen was there, she could face all the storms with peace of mind.

Because, no matter how the outside world changes, as long as she is with Jing Zhichen, she will have an eternal harbor.

……

During this trip to Tianshan, the remaining poison in Jing Zhichen's body had been cleared, and Du Huaigu thought that the atmosphere in the East Palace should be lively and enthusiastic.

Who would have thought that Jing Zhichen was still the same...

Keep your chastity like jade.

When Du Huaigu learned about this from Ao Ying, he gave Jing Zhichen a thumbs up for the whole morning.

He is a young man of marriageable age, full of vigor and vitality, and the woman next to him is his ideal partner, but he can still hold himself back. He is truly a role model for our generation.

Jing Zhichen looked calm and said, "Lu Xu has not passed the seventh day yet. I respect him, and it is reasonable and proper for me to do so."

Du Huaigu originally wanted to tease Jing Zhichen, but he never thought that there was such consideration behind this matter. This time he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Your Highness is truly a gentleman!"

Jing Zhichen didn't care much about Du Huaigu's praise. He turned around and started busying himself with the preparations for Yang Mingtang.

Jing Zhichen personally wrote a memorial to Emperor Yanning, proposing the idea of ​​building a Yangmingtang, and then went to the site in person to investigate and look for a suitable place.

He personally interviewed the masters who taught martial arts and calligraphy one by one, and selected the most suitable candidates to teach the children. It can be said that he was not careless.

With Jing Zhichen taking the lead, Xu Xingyin was also busy. She personally participated in the renovation and layout of Yang Mingtang, supervised the construction progress of the craftsmen, and donated the books and scrolls given by Lu Xu during his lifetime to Yang Mingtang.

The young couple in the Eastern Palace worked in perfect harmony and completed the Yangming Hall in a short period of time.

On the day when Yangming Hall was completed and opened, Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin were present in person, and Emperor Yanning even personally presented the plaque "Yangming Hall". With such a grand display, it was truly the most prominent event.

Jing Zhichen gently peeled off the red silk, revealing the glittering plaque, his voice steady and powerful.

"Lu Xu advocated justice throughout his life, and helped the weak and suppressed the strong. He built Yangming Hall to carry on this spirit. It doesn't matter what background a person has to live in. Even if he is poor and helpless, as long as he has justice in his heart and lofty ambitions, he can leave a great name in the world. Today, Yangming Hall is officially established. I hope that the students of Yangming Hall can be like Lu Xu in the future, with the world in their hearts and courageous and fearless."

Jing Zhichen's impassioned speech moved everyone present, and Yang Mingtang became famous.
