Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Countless vitality burst out, and the queen's health seemed to be much better than before.

It seems like I can live for decades longer.

After a while, Jiang Ping'an sent a message to the emperor and empress from Loulan, saying that he would go on a diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song, and this time he would come in person.

After hearing this, the emperor and the empress understood that Jiang Ping'an was still infatuated with Zhao Jia. For so many years, Jiang Ping'an had always liked Zhao Jia.

"... Never mind, let's just go on a diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song. This is actually quite good."

But before they could be happy and prepare for Jiang Ping'an's diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song, bad news suddenly fell from the sky -

Master Kongkong has passed away!

Zhao Jia and Senior Brother Seventeen were both very sad.

When Zhao Jia received the news of the death, he was attending to the Queen in the palace and fainted immediately.

When he woke up again, he saw the Queen and the Queen Mother standing by the windowsill, looking at Zhao Jia anxiously.

Zhao Jia burst into tears and cried his heart out.

In the end, it was Senior Brother Seventeen who hurriedly received the prince's imperial edict and went to the palace to coax Zhao Jia, and Zhao Jia calmed down a little.

I just had swollen eyes from crying, and I didn't eat or sleep much the whole day.

The queen wanted to take care of Zhaojia and comfort him, but the queen mother said to the queen: "...Alas, this man is old and will die eventually."

"Before Master Kongkong passed away, he did talk to Zhaojia and Shiqi, telling them to go to the Buddhist temple to find him in a few days. Master Kongkong was always very good at predicting things, and he had already predicted that he would pass away... Since he knew the date of his death, he must have said goodbye to the two children, and didn't want them to see him pass away and be sad."

"There are seventeen more disciples in Zhaojia, all of whom are Master Kongkong's favorite disciples... It has been nine years since Zhaojia sent them there. During these nine years, Master Kongkong has been with Zhaojia for as long as the rest of our royal family has spent with him."

"For our little princess, this Master Kong Kong is like her real relative, so it is normal that she cannot accept this fact now."

"Now, the best way is to let her be quiet."

The Queen nodded and said with a sigh, "Yes, not to mention that she couldn't accept this fact, even I couldn't accept it when I received the news."

"...Alas, why is Master Kongkong gone?"

As she spoke, the queen shook her head and sighed. She took out her handkerchief and began to wipe her tears. She said to the queen mother, "Master Kong Kong is a very good person. I also feel... a little uncomfortable in my heart."

The Queen Mother said, "Don't say you're upset. I feel a little upset, too."

"Zhao Jia lives with him day and night. He is like Zhao Jia's royal grandfather. This is not much better than the death of the emperor."

"Zhao Jia will definitely be very sad afterwards. In the near future... let's not let them irritate Zhao Jia."

The queen nodded, and then quickly said to the queen mother: "Also, mother, we have already started to arrange His Highness Ping An's diplomatic mission to Zhou and Song."

"Come safely, and make Zhao Jia happy."

"Zhao Jia is such a pitiful child. He thought he had been in the temple for so long that he had avoided all the disasters. But now, not long after coming out, the first disaster he encountered was the death of his master who had been with him for so long."

"Ugh......"

None of them dared to go over and disturb Zhao Jia.

When Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining received the news, they wanted to go there immediately.

But knowing that Senior Brother Seventeen was in the room with Zhao Jia at this moment, although he was worried, after thinking about it, he did not go to find her.

It's better to be quiet at this time.

It was not until the next day that Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining arrived at the Queen's Palace and spent some time with Zhao Jia.

Chen Zhining held the child in his arms, touched the little princess's nose, touched the little princess's eyes, and said, "Do you remember the first time you met Master Kongkong when you were a child?"

"Master Kongkong was astonished when he first saw you. At that time, your master said that you were definitely a very blessed child."

"Later, your master secretly told me that you will definitely have a calamity. The first calamity is to be careful of a beautiful girl, and the second calamity is to be careful of your brother Ping An."

"...I'm afraid you have already forgotten everything about your childhood. Mother told you that at that time, I was very worried about you, so I didn't want you to meet His Highness Ping An. At that time, His Highness Ping An was very angry, but he had no other choice, and neither did mother."

"...But later, Mother came to her senses. This is a matter between the two of you, and Mother should not interfere with the cause and effect, so Mother sent you to the Buddhist temple for retreat."

"It's just that mother didn't expect that you would practice in seclusion in the Buddhist temple for such a long time. After all, mother only wanted you to practice in seclusion for one or two years. But you practiced in seclusion for such a long time, mother was also very sad..."

"Mother was thinking, if you stayed in the temple for so long, would you become estranged from mother and father? But later I found out that you were not estranged from father and mother. You are still the child that father and mother like, and father and mother still love you the most. Don't you think so?"

Little Zhaojia listened to Chen Zhining's gentle words and slowly brought his thoughts back to the past.

A long, long time ago, when Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining sent me to the Buddhist temple, I was very sad.

At that time, Master Kongkong, Senior Brother Seventeen, and other fellow brothers in the Buddhist temple were always with him.

I couldn't eat meat during that period. Master Kongkong tested me at the beginning. Seeing that I hadn't eaten much meat, he praised me on the surface, but he was actually very anxious in his heart. At that time, he secretly got meat for me...

This secretive process lasted for nine years.

During these 9 years, the friendship between me and Master Kong Kong cannot be simply mentioned in passing.

I didn't expect that he passed away so soon.

"Mother." Zhao Jia said to Chen Zhining in some pain, "I really can't accept it. Why... Master passed away so soon."

"And Master didn't tell me before."

"If he had told me that, I would not have gone down the mountain. I would not have gone down the mountain..."

"If I hadn't come down the mountain, how could Master have passed away?!"

As Zhao Jia spoke, he covered his face in agony, tears streaming from between his fingers.

Chen Zhining touched Zhaojia's little hand and saw cold tears flowing out again. He quickly said to Zhaojia, "Oh, you silly child... For someone with the cultivation level of Master Kongkong to pass away, he must have known it in advance."

"He knew about it in advance, so he must have done all this on purpose. He just didn't want you and Senior Brother Seventeen to be in front of him."

"If you two were in front of him, how could Master Kongkong be willing to pass away?"

"And I heard yesterday that Master Kongkong's body had been cremated, and nine relics were found. These nine relics are now placed on the altar of the Huguo Temple. You know, ordinary people don't have relics in their bodies."

Hearing this, Zhao Jia nodded blankly, and then heard Chen Zhining continue to say with a smile: "Since there are these nine relics, you will have a wish in the future... and mother also thinks that Master Kong Kong is not just an ordinary death, but..."

She thought about it, and said to Zhao Jia with a smile: "This Master Kong Kong may have ascended to heaven, but did not pass away."

When Zhao Jia heard the word "ascend", her eyes lit up, and she immediately said to Chen Zhining: "In fact, I also think that it is very likely. How could such a powerful person like Master pass away so casually?"

Chen Zhining nodded with a smile and said to Zhao Jia: "In fact, maybe there really are gods in this world."

"You should know that when you were born, your royal grandfather and royal grandmother dreamed that you were the reincarnation of a lotus. Do you still remember it?"

"......Your Royal Grandfather and Royal Grandmother often said this when you were young, and your Mother and your Father also often said this when you were young."

"It's just that you went to the Buddhist temple later, and your mother and father often went there to accompany you. Some of the nursery rhymes they used to coax you when you were little are still unspeakable now."

Hearing these words, Zhao Jia nodded very obediently, and said to Chen Zhining with a smile: "...In fact, I still remember it."

"It's good that you remember." Chen Zhining touched her little head and said happily, "Child, it's a good thing that you still remember the past. If you don't remember the past, your mother doesn't know how to comfort you."

"Hearing what mother said, do you feel better?"

Zhao Jia nodded very obediently and said to Chen Zhining, "I feel much better now."

Master Kongkong simply ascended to heaven, he did not pass away, he did not pass away.

Moreover, for a Buddhist monk like Master Kongkong, passing away is actually a good thing. This is also very good.

Zhao Jia shook his head and sighed, and said to Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao with some disappointment: "Father, Mother, you two should go out first..."

"I want to be alone for a while and be quiet."

"Okay." Chen Zhining nodded and immediately took Jiang Zhao out.

After a while, Senior Brother Seventeen came in.

When Senior Brother Seventeen came in, he immediately placed the cakes he had prepared next to Zhao Jia's table, then he went up to Zhao Jia and picked him up, saying, "Come here, Senior Brother, give me a hug."

Zhao Jia nodded and snuggled up to Senior Brother Seventeen.

Of course, their hug was not as intimate as that between a man and a woman making love, but Senior Brother Seventeen gently held Zhao Jia's shoulders, and the two of them were just like hugging each other's shoulders, so it could be considered a hug.

"...Brother Seventeen, I really miss Master. I miss Master so much."

"I know how you feel. I miss Master too at this moment."

Senior Brother Seventeen just sighed and hugged Zhao Jia. The two of them hugged each other for a very long time.

By the evening, Zhaojia finally stopped crying and was able to eat.

At this moment, the Crown Princess, Chen Zhining, and the Grand Princess of Pingnan even knew the bad news and came from their fiefdoms, including my aunt Song Yunyun. They are all here at this moment.

They all said to Chen Zhining nervously: "Now our Chang'an Grand Princess can finally eat. Since she can eat, Zhining, you can rest assured."

"You must not worry about her too much. What will you do if you worry so much that you harm your health?"

"Yes." The emperor also nodded beside him, glanced at the queen, and said to her: "Queen, you too."

"You should know that you are not as healthy as before. You are old."

"If you feel uncomfortable now, please don't tire yourself out because of Zhao Jia. If you collapse, who will take care of Zhao Jia in the future?"

Hearing this, the queen nodded and said gently, "Your Majesty is right."

"But your majesty, don't worry too much about me. I can handle it. I just need to take care of Zhao Jia for a few days."

As she spoke, the queen coughed twice and said to everyone, "Master Kongkong was afraid that Zhaojia and Shiqi would be sad, so he didn't send anyone to deliver the letter to them. By the time they knew the news, Master Kongkong had already been cremated."

"However, Master Kongkong left a will before he died, saying that he should be able to refine a total of 9 relics, and give one to Zhaojia and one to Shiqi. Of the remaining 7, one will be given to Senior Brother Jingyan so that he can inherit the position of abbot, and the remaining six will be placed in the pagoda."

"If Zhou Song encounters any disaster, such as flood, locust plague, or drought, then we can take out the relics and perform a three-day ritual."

After hearing these words, everyone nodded, believing them without a doubt.

Master Kong Kong is indeed a very powerful master, simply a legendary figure. He has predicted so many things before, and they all came true.

So what he said must be true. If the country encounters any danger, taking out the relics should be helpful.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded with great satisfaction and said to everyone, "It seems that Master Kong Kong is really a man of character and is willing to help us a lot."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Master Kongkong cares about the world, and he has worked hard all his life."

The Queen Mother couldn't tell what she was feeling. She and Master Kongkong must be close friends regardless of age difference.

Now that Master Kongkong is dead, the Queen Mother feels that...she is probably really old.

After all, there are so many people around me, and they are leaving me one by one.

The Queen Mother's mind was shaken and she felt that her brain was a little unclear.

In front of everyone, she slowly closed her eyes, and then the Queen Mother suddenly fell to the ground.
