such as Yue Linyuan

The day Chu Yuezhi fell in the early morning was August 24th in the [-]th year of the Yanqing Dynasty.

That day was sunny and clear, and the sky was cloudless and clear. At the end of the morning court, Chu Yuezhi signaled Wang Zhong, who was at the side, to submit the edict of the Zen throne.

Under the watchful eyes of the officials, he got up from the dragon seat and reached out to get the edict of the Zen position that had been written long ago.

There was silence in the hall, and at the moment when Chu Yuezhi put his hand on the edict, his beating heart suddenly burst into sharp pain. He subconsciously looked at Si Yuanting, his eyes with constricted pupils engraved Si Yuanting's figure on his eyes In the deepest part of the bottom, in the next moment, blood gushed out of his mouth, and his strong body was no longer as strong as when he was young, drained of all strength and collapsed.

Si Yuanting flew up to the high platform to catch Chu Yuezhi under the terrified gaze of the officials, a panic and helpless expression appeared on his usually calm face, which seemed so strange.

The officials knelt down on the ground, and it was Prince Chu Shendu who ran up to the high platform.

Chu Yuezhi struggled to raise his hand to caress Si Yuanting's cheek, but he couldn't use his strength, so Si Yuanting took his hand and put his palm on his cheek.Frowning and coughing up two more mouthfuls of blood, Chu Yuezhi held back the sharp pain in his chest, and said with a wry smile: "...Si Jiu, don't be afraid, Chu Qi is fine, Chu Qi will go out of the palace with Si Jiu, and accompany Si Jiu to travel Throughout thousands of mountains and rivers, I will never break my promise."

Si Yuanting didn't speak, he just hugged Chu Yuezhi tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

Therefore, the last thing Chu Yuezhi heard before losing consciousness was the panicked cry of Chu Shendu who was kneeling beside him.

He wanted to sigh, and also wanted to say don't cry in a hurry, he is not dead yet, but he has been holding on for too long in the past few years, and in the end he couldn't hold on anymore.

Everyone thought that between Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi, Si Yuanting, who was once forced to commit violent acts, was even more insane. Only Chu Yuezhi himself knew, but it was not the case.

He never told Si Yuanting how he brutally butchered an entire Tatar tribe in cold blood, just because of the hatred in his heart that he couldn't find the source at that time.On the day when Gongbian usurped the throne, he knew that Si Yuanting didn't want him to kill his brother himself, but he did it himself because he was determined not to let Si Yuanting touch those dirty personnel. Afterwards, he took Chu Yuelei's body When he was thrown into the mass grave, he even went to see how the hungry wild dogs bit and ate Chu Yuelei's body.

Si Yuanting hopes that he can become the light, so he hides many things.

Including Lin Yi told him that his body is very likely to start to decline after the age of 50.

Because of the hidden injuries accumulated over the years during the battle, and because he forcibly forced out the golden needle on the back of his head that day.

When Si Yuanting came back from the battle, Lin Yi also refined the red ganoderma lucidum that he picked up in secret to make medicine for him, and told him that he would never go to the battlefield again, so he asked Lin Yi to find out how to cure Gu .

At the beginning, he was afraid that Si Yuanting would seek death without telling him, so he used Gu medicine, but he didn't want to drag Si Yuanting to die with him one day.

Lin Yi said that he could no longer go to the battlefield. He could understand that it was just a euphemism. From the day when he had a nosebleed for the first time without warning, he was clearly aware that something was wrong with his body.

He seldom regretted it, but he really regretted that he had used Gu medicine to bind the lives of the two of them together.

After Lin Yi made the red ganoderma lucidum into medicine, he took it, and then gave him the only heart-protecting elixir given by the doctor when he was studying medicine, and told him that after taking this elixir, it would make his body The heart will last for another five years. In other words, his body will start to decline after the age of 55.

However, at 55 years old, he is a few years younger than Si Yuanting.

When Si Yuanting was 60 years old, he was 56 years old.

That day Chu Yuezhi was sitting on the couch, and Lin Yi was asking for his peace pulse, Si Yuanting was temporarily dismissed by him, thinking of the promise he made to Si Yuanting himself in the morning, he subconsciously clenched it The jade pendant on the waist: "Lin Yi, tell me the truth, how long will I live?"

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty, that day His Majesty forced out the golden needle, causing the meridians to go retrograde, and even severely damaged the heart. At that time, I had already warned His Majesty that the sequelae caused by the golden needle should not be underestimated; now Your Majesty is now Working hard on state affairs, thinking and worrying every day... I will do my best to recuperate for His Majesty, but even if I try my best to save His Majesty until the age of 60, and the last few years, Your Majesty will be very difficult. "

Closing his eyes, Chu Yuezhi felt a lump in his throat, and there was a little pain between his brows.

Only until the age of 60? At that time, Si Yuanting was only 64.

When Si Yuanting said that he would go out of the palace with him, his eyes were full of anticipation, and the smile on his mouth was so warm, how could he be willing to let Si Yuanting down.

"Not enough, Lin Yi, listen carefully, no matter what method you use, you must let me live past 60 years old. One day is not enough, one month is not enough, and one year is not enough. No matter how hard it is, I still want to live longer "His trembling hands were raised to cover his brows and eyes, Chu Yuezhi spoke extremely slowly, every word was hoarse as if being ground by gravel, "I promised Si Jiu that I would accompany him out of the palace and accompany him to see the grand palace. The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Kingdom of Heng, I cannot break my promise."

There are many, many things you want, and you can see them all at a glance, and the rest of your life is too short.

According to historical records, Chu Yuezhi, the emperor of the Yanqing Dynasty, died on the night of August 24, the 56th year of the Yanqing Dynasty, at the age of [-].

According to his will, Prince Chu Shen succeeded to the throne alone.

On the second day after Emperor Yanqing passed away, all the people mourned and burned papers to worship. In the following month, from the capital to the thirteen provinces, from the imperial court officials down to ordinary people, women and children, they all cried for the sudden death of Emperor Yanqing.

After Chu Shendu ascended the throne, he named the temple of the Qing Emperor Shizu, and the posthumous title of Emperor Wurui Chengren.

"Shizu" is a temple name that can be used by the founder of the new era or the emperor who connects the past and the next, and the characters selected for the posthumous title are all beautiful posthumous titles.He fought on the frontier for more than ten years before he took the throne, and established a solid line of defense for the Daheng Kingdom. During the 24 years after he took the throne, he repeatedly promoted new policies, starting with the rectification of official examinations, abolishing regulations such as banning speech and abolishing the ban on literary prisons. He vigorously promoted the reform of official schools to broaden the wisdom of the people. The imperial examinations were greatly reformed to recruit talents, taxation reforms were strictly punished, and corrupt officials were severely punished. Later, women's schools were set up. Under his governance, both politics and economy have reached the pinnacle of the founding of the country, and the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the people, the prosperity of the people, and the peace and prosperity of the people have been achieved, which shows the high achievements of his life.

After the death of Emperor Yanqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the great scholar of Zhongji Temple, and the Marquis of Zhenguo, Siyuan Ting also disappeared from the court hall, and there has been no trace of him in the capital since then.And the rumors about it are also circulating in the capital, true and false, and people are at ease.

According to the official history, Si Yuanting served three masters in three dynasties. In his early years, he was reduced to a eunuch by a son of a minister because of family troubles. After that, he assisted the successor emperor Chu Yuelei, was promoted to be the eunuch of the palm seal, and supervised the governor of the East Factory. In the next seven years, he eradicated the powerful ministers for the new emperor, gradually opened the sea ban to promote the development of the trade and economy of the Daheng Kingdom, and once advocated the rule of law. He made the whole awe-inspiring, and assisted the Emperor Yanqing who was still a prince in the case of collusion between the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry to thoroughly investigate the facts of women's abduction and corruption of ink, and vigorously promoted loyal ministers after the case was concluded; Si Jia was wronged, and he was able to restore his identity. He also advised to abolish eunuchs to participate in politics and reorganize the cabinet. When Shanhaiguan was attacked, he took the initiative to ask for an order to lead the army and successfully repelled the enemy to defend the stability of the border area. After returning to the court, he served as the cabinet chief assistant. For the next 24 years, he devoted himself to assisting Emperor Yan Qing, proposed taxation reform laws, further reformed the military system, and brought the military strength of the Daheng Kingdom to its peak. The post of grand teacher was responsible for teaching the prince; after the death of Emperor Yanqing, Si Yuanting, who had been loyal to the emperor for many years at the age of sixty, died of illness in the same month.After his death, the successor new emperor conferred the posthumous title of Wenzheng, and specially approved the Zhong Temple.

For civil servants, "Wenzheng" is the highest posthumous posthumous title, and it is a lifetime honor to receive this posthumous title.

Si Yuanting's merits and demerits in his life are all in the case book. Although he did have some deeds, his political achievements are outstanding. Due to his early experiences, he had no wife and no children in his life. It proved that he was honest and not corrupt throughout his life, and left countless handwritings on putting the people first, governing the country should be benevolent, and several New Deal proposals.

Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi left the palace in the middle of the night one month after everything was settled, and Lin Yi, Zhou Ji and Wang Zhong also left the palace with them.

Chu Shendu insisted on sending them away, but he could only send them to the gate of the palace. Then, just like sending away Si Zhuxi and Yu Yin back then, at one place, he watched Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi's carriage leave again. go.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Fu Xingyun and Wei Yunxiao were waiting for them.

Zhou Ji was still holding the reins. Sitting beside Zhou Ji, Wang Zhong first turned around and spoke to the inside of the carriage. After getting permission, he got out of the carriage to give up his seat and raised the curtain of the carriage.Fu Xingyun and Wei Yunxiao got into the carriage together, only to see Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi who had not seen each other for half a month.

Chu Yuezhi leaned against Si Yuanting's arms, with a haggard look on his face, and when he saw the two getting into the car, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly at them: "I told Si Jiu that you will probably be in the city. He was still a little unhappy to see him off at the door."

Si Yuanting straightened the thin quilt for him, and said in a low voice: "I'm not unhappy, I just don't want you to bother, it will take two and a half days to get to the neighboring province after leaving the capital, and I'm afraid you will suffer from the exhaustion of traveling and traveling." No."

Looking up at Si Yuanting, a man who only had gray hair on his temples a month ago, now his head is full of silver and no ink is visible anymore, Chu Yuezhi pulled his hand out from under the thin quilt to hook Si Yuanting hand, said: "I will be good, don't do this."

Seeing the docile look on the man's face, Si Yuanting sighed, and said, "You say that every time, but you've never been obedient." Back then, he kept promising him that he wouldn't get rid of the Gu, but in the end he kept it secret. He let Lin Yi suppress part of the Gu effect, so that he didn't notice the difficult angina pectoris in the past few years.

Wei Yunxiao couldn't see Chu Yuezhi's sick and weak appearance. He followed the king all his life, the general who fought for more than ten years, and the emperor who had worked hard to rule for more than [-] years after he ascended the throne. His eyes couldn't stop turning red, and he shouted in an extremely depressed voice: "Your Majesty, minister, minister..."

"It's not Your Majesty anymore." Chu Yuezhi shook his head towards Wei Yunxiao with a smile, and said, "I'm just Si Jiu's wife now."

Wei Yunxiao didn't listen, and knelt down in the carriage, saying: "Since Yunxiao chooses to follow, you will always be Yunxiao's general, Your Majesty!"

"But you can't go with me." Chu Yuezhi knew what he wanted to say, turned his eyes to Fu Xingyun, and said, "I hope you can stay and continue to assist the new emperor. If Si Jiu leaves with me, if you also come with me After leaving, Yuanyuan will lose two more important ministers who can be trusted and available, so although this request is too much, I beg you to stay for now until Yuanyuan stabilizes the court situation and trains courtiers who truly trust him , and then leave."

Chu Yuezhi spoke very slowly, he was out of breath now, and he had to stop to pant from time to time while speaking, while he was speaking, Si Yuanting patted his back lightly to smooth his breath.

Wei Yunxiao's eyes became redder after hearing this, and he was eager to say something, but was stopped by Fu Xingyun.

Fu Xingyun first pulled Wei Yunxiao up, then raised his eyes to his boss Yuan Ting's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is also your hope."

Si Yuanting nodded, and said: "The foundation of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is not stable, whether it's out of consideration for the people and the country, or my expectations and worries for my nephew, I hope that you and Wei Yunxiao can stay as assistants. "

The departure of him and Chu Yuezhi is not only the death of the emperor, but also the departure of the chief minister of the cabinet. It is so simple that the court will face a reshuffle. The emperor and his uncle also left together. Since then, he has no relatives by his side. He is a real lonely king. The pressure brought about by this is enormous.Although there are still several loyal ministers such as Liang Chen, Zhong Qingheng, Xia Zhiyi, Jiang Sheng, and Ruan Xing in the court, but there is one chief assistant in the cabinet, and he still prefers to be replaced by Fu Xingyun.

Unlike them, Fu Xingyun has his own beliefs in his heart, but it is precisely because of this that he treats everyone equally, can be truly impartial, fair and strict; and compared to other courtiers, Fu Xingyun is also more able to control the overall situation.And Chu Shendu also knows that Fu Xingyun is a person who will never take credit for being arrogant and disdain to be a powerful minister. If it weren't for Wei Yunxiao and Si Yuan's wish, he would have wanted to take Wei Yunxiao back to the mountains and forests.

"Actually, you don't want others to disturb you and Young Master Chu." Fu Xingyun understood Si Yuanting's thoughts, and also understood that now Si Yuanting only wanted to take Chu Yuezhi away from the imperial city that had trapped them all their lives.

Caressing Chu Yuezhi's pale face covered by illness, Si Yuanting lowered his eyelids halfway to hide the sadness in his eyes, and said: "From now on, I don't want to care about the people and the world anymore, I just hope to be with you." Chu Qi should live a life of his own."

If it wasn't for Chu Yuezhi's serious illness, he actually wouldn't even want to take Lin Yi, Zhou Ji and Wang Zhong with him.

Seeing that Chu Yuezhi couldn't hold back enough energy to speak, Si Yuanting hugged his arm tightly again, and said to him, "Go to sleep when you're tired, and I'll leave the rest to them."

Chu Yuezhi didn't even have the strength to speak, so he gave a vague "um", turned his face to the side and buried his head in Si Yuanting's arms, and fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

"Huangfu, like me, you have never lived an easy life in this life. I shouldn't have made this request to you again, but..." Si Yuanting raised the corners of his lips, evoking a smile that was more bitter than crying, and whispered softly. Said: "I only have Chu Qi, please help me, let him stop worrying so much, let him and I spend the last few years well."

As soon as Si Yuanting finished speaking, Wei Yunxiao couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Stretching his arms around Wei Yunxiao's shoulders, Fu Xingyun kept his beard silently, and solemnly agreed: "I promise you, Yunxiao and I will leave after the situation in the court is stabilized."

"Thank you, I will repay your favor in the next life." Si Yuanting said, "That's it, there is no need to send it out of the city, so as not to add to the sadness."

"I don't need you to repay it. Your kindness to me is far more important than what I can repay." Fu Xingyun shook his head, he stopped talking, and waited for Wei Yunxiao to silently and solemnly act to Chu Yuezhi who was already unconscious After the prostration ceremony, he got off the carriage with Wei Yunxiao.

Outside the carriage, Lin Yi was riding another horse. Seeing the two get off the carriage, he got off his horse and hugged Wei Yunxiao, saying, "Brother, there will be no future."

Wei Yunxiao endured the soreness and sadness in his heart, and said: "You must, treat the general well. There will be no future."

Lin also didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly, then took a step back and got on the horse.

The gatekeepers had already been ordered to open the city gate for them, so Fu Xingyun and Wei Yunxiao stood at the gate, watching the carriage that would never return slowly drive out of the gate of the capital city, in this quiet night. far away.

The first place they are going is Shanhaiguan.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Chu Yuezhi fell ill twice in the middle, and they also stopped twice to wait for Chu Yuezhi's condition to stabilize before setting off. Therefore, it took them a lot of money to arrive at Shanhaiguan, which normally only takes seven days. It took a month and a half to arrive.

In fact, they came to Shanhaiguan for no other reason than to fulfill their previous agreement. They wanted to come to Shanhaiguan together, climb the tower and watch the sunrise together.

The general guarding Shanhaiguan was still Zhu Bili. He was shocked when he saw them appear at night, but after hearing Si Yuanting explain the reason, he looked at Chu Yuezhi who was much thinner in a wheelchair, and gave a military salute without saying a word. So he gave up his room to them, and ordered his personal guards that what happened tonight must not be spread to the outside world, and those who disobeyed the order will be killed.

After Lin Yi's efforts, Chu Yuezhi's condition has been brought under control, and he no longer falls asleep for two or three days as he did in the first month.Now he can wake up for about half a day every day. When he wakes up, he talks to Si Yuanting. Si Yuanting feeds him food and medicine, and he is always very obedient. No matter how bitter the medicine is, he will rest in Si Yuanting's arms After drinking it, there is no need for Si Yuanting's gentle coaxing.Most of the time, he fell asleep unknowingly while talking with Si Yuanting. Lin Yi said that this is not a bad thing. He has worked so hard for so many years, and now that he can rest well, he should sleep more, which is good for his body. Resting naturally is the best way to recuperate and recover.

Si Yuanting’s hair was completely bald the night Chu Yuezhi fell and struggled before the gate of hell. Later, Chu Shen told Chu Yuezhi alone that he stayed by the bedside with Si Yuanting that night, looking at Si Yuanting’s hair with his own eyes. It turned white little by little over several hours until finally there was no trace of black hair. At that time, Si Yuanting stared at Chu Yuezhi with red eyes, motionless like a statue, completely unaware that his hair was completely white. this matter.Even after Chu Yuezhi woke up, Si Yuanting asked him in a daze why his hair had turned gray, so he knew what happened to him.

It was also at that time that Chu Shendu realized how much his uncle loved his father.

Chu Yuezhi said that he would not die, and the promise he made to Si Yuanting has not been fulfilled, so he must not just die like this.Si Yuanting looked at Chu Yuezhi for a long time, although the red phoenix eyes that could not hide the fine lines at the corners of the eyes were always red, but never shed a single tear, Si Yuanting seemed to hide thousands of words in his eyes, Chu Yuezhi understood Yes, he stopped talking.

Because Chu Yuezhi was weak, after leaving the capital, Si Yuanting carried Chu Yuezhi around every day, taking care of him to wash and change clothes.Chu Yuezhi then said that it seemed that he had returned to his childhood. Si Yuanting was wiping his body at that time, lowered his head and said, "You were much more lively when you were young than you are now." Chu Yuezhi smiled and replied: "Chu Qi It will be fine, Si Jiu, don't be angry or sad."

Chu Yuezhi did not regret that he had forced out the golden needle recklessly, because if he hadn't recovered his memory, Si Yuanting would probably have passed away long ago, and if he was the only one left in this world, what would the throne mean to him? significance?

He was willing to pay more in exchange for the next 20 years, but seeing Si Yuanting feel so sad because of him made him a little angry and dissatisfied with his unsatisfactory body.

At the time of Yinzhi, Si Yuanting carried Chu Yuezhi on his back to the tower, and then woke up Chu Yuezhi when the sun was about to rise.

At the moment when the sun jumps out of the sea level to illuminate the sky and the entire sea level, the orange color of the sea and sky line has a faint fiery red, which is gorgeous and full of joy and hope of life.

Holding Chu Yuezhi in his arms tightly, Si Yuanting leaned against his cheek and said, "Chu Qi, I've been waiting for this day, my whole life."

The corners of his lips curled up, Chu Yuezhi looked at the scorching sea illuminated by the morning sun, and said: "There is still time, Chu Qi will accompany Si Jiu to go down."

"Really?" Si Yuanting seemed to be blinded by the morning light, his eyelids closed tremblingly, even the breath he exhaled from his nose was so cautious.

"Really, when did Chu Qi lie to Si Jiu?" Chu Yuezhi blinked, and wanted to turn to look at him, but was hugged tightly and stopped.

"Heh..." Si Yuanting laughed lowly, his voice was a little unsteady: "He's obviously a liar, yet he dares to say that he never lied to me."

Chu Yuezhi gave a bit of aggrieved "Hey" and defended himself: "I didn't lie to you, I just didn't take the initiative to tell you, and I didn't detoxify..."

"You're still reasonable." Opening his eyes again, Si Yuanting's eyes were washed clear, he relaxed, let Chu Yuezhi turn to face him, and said: "Really, I will accompany Si Jiu. go down?"

"Yes, Chu Qi wants to accompany Si Jiu to travel all over the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Daheng Kingdom, so how can he break his promise?" Chu Yuezhi smiled softly, kissed Si Yuanting's eyebrows, eyes and nose tenderly, and finally put his cool kiss on his face. lips, as if saying to him or to himself: "Chu Qi will live past 60 years old, 'Du Jun' doesn't understand, Chu Qi will live for Si Jiu no matter what... We, as long as we cherish the past The next few days are enough, for the rest, Si Jiumo has to think about it, okay?"

With a shallow kiss and soft words, Si Yuanting slowly tightened his arms again, with some uncontrollable strength as if he wanted to rub Chu Yuezhi into his body just like that.Chu Yuezhi is an extremely precious wife to him, so he is so afraid that he will not be able to keep the lover who has been with him hand in hand all these years.

"Okay, Si Jiu don't think too much, let's just go on living like this." Si Yuanting agreed to Chu Yuezhi, he didn't dare to feel sad, because he was afraid that Chu Yuezhi couldn't bear even a little pain of his own hurt.

The sky is slowly approaching, the sea breeze is passing by, and the sound of the distant and near sea tide is like a Sanskrit sound, one after another, to overcome the pain of years.

After leaving Shanhaiguan, Si Yuanting took Chu Yuezhi to many places.

Traveling around the mountains and rivers to see the beautiful scenery written by Du Mu, "Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are red in February flowers". , spent a winter without frost and snow; when spring came, they went to Wuzhen, the capital of silk in the south of the Yangtze River, and appreciated the beauty of small bridges and flowing water, carved railings and painted buildings; Guilin Mansion, and stay there for several days.

Along the way, Lin Yi has always been taking good care of Chu Yuezhi's treatment. After letting go of the burden, he no longer has to worry about it every day. This kind of relaxation and comfort also made Chu Yuezhi's condition more stable; when they left Guilin Mansion, Chu Yuezhi was able to walk on the ground.

Si Yuanting never let Chu Yuezhi leave his line of sight for even a moment, he guarded Chu Yuezhi all the time, never leaving each other.

In the second year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, a family suddenly moved in in Huicheng Town, Huizhou on a certain day in September. Before they arrived in Huicheng Town, they sent an entourage into the town to buy a quadrangle house for the next dynasty. Then quietly checked in one night.

The quadrangle house in Huizhou is in the form of a set of houses, divided into the first entry and the second entry.The first entrance not only has a vestibule, patio and hall, but also a second bedroom in the hall; behind the bedroom in the back hall, there is another hatchback room; the second entrance is divided into two halls with four bedrooms and two halls. indivual.

As soon as they bought such a big quadrangle house, the people in the town talked about what kind of big family this new household was.Unexpectedly, after the attendant who arrived first packed up the quadrangle house and waited quietly for half a month, what he ushered in was not a big family, but a spacious carriage that had obviously traveled many places. With a healer following on horseback.

They arrived very late, as if deliberately avoiding crowds, so in the end only a few people in the town saw that after the curtain of the carriage was raised, a tall and handsome man The gentle, silver-haired elderly man with lines on his face but still unable to hide his magnificence held a man who was covered by a cloak and hood and looked like he had fallen asleep with extreme care, and moved slowly down The carriage then quietly walked into the newly built quadrangle house under the cover of night.

The people in Huicheng Town have had a lot of guesses about the owner of this family, because after they moved into the quadrangle house, no one has ever seen the extremely mysterious owner, only the one who drove the carriage that day was probably the guardian of the courtyard. The man will accompany the handsome attendant who does not look old to the town to buy daily necessities, and the doctor who accompanied him on horseback will also go to the town's medical center to buy medicinal materials at regular intervals.

They have lived in Huicheng Town for six years. Occasionally, the sound of playing the qin can be heard from the quadrangle house. Intoxicated; every October, even though the season with the most fireflies has passed, some people still see countless fireflies flying out of the quadrangle house one night.

On a winter night in December of the sixth year, two fast horses came into the town. One was about [-] years old with a jade crown and hair, wearing a purple robe trimmed with gold thread. The young people in the field hurriedly got off their horses in front of the quadrangle house, and then hurriedly entered the quadrangle house with their followers.

Another day later, Huicheng Town suddenly began to rain heavily in the evening. Amidst the pattering rain, a heart-piercing cry came from the courtyard house, and the vague cry disappeared in a flash. , the lingering sound sounded like the word "Father Emperor" at first glance.

It has been raining for a full month.

The people in Huicheng Town later heard that the two owners of the quadrangle house who never showed up in front of people died of illness one after the other in the continuous heavy rain, with an interval of only three hours between them.

The people also heard that the young man who suddenly rode a fast horse into the town with his entourage was their adopted son. He came here this time to see the two fathers for the last time, and to hold their coffins and bury them personally. .What made the people curious was that although two people died of illness, only one golden nanmu coffin was transported into the quadrangle house three days later.

Some people say that the two owners of the quadrangle house were indeed a couple. After one of them died of illness, the other held the deceased tightly in his arms, and did not let go until his death; Seeing that he could not separate the two, Zi decided to bury them together.

However, these common people do not know that more than seven years ago, in the majestic imperial palace in the capital, the young man who was about to ascend the throne had been confessed by two fathers. When the two of them passed away in the future, they must not be separated. , just one coffin to bury them together in the place where they lived for the last time, and remember, they don’t need to have any valuable burial objects, just put the fuxiqin, picture scroll and night pearl in the coffin, that’s enough .

According to the instructions of the two, the young man finally buried them together in a beautiful place in Huizhou's Feicui Valley after keeping their spirits for seven days.

And that quadrangle house also ushered in two new owners a few months later. It is said that they came from the capital. Something else.

At the last moment of his life, Chu Yuezhi, who was over [-] years old, lay in Si Yuanting's arms, held the white jade Guanyin around his neck, and asked in a low voice: "Si Jiu, do you feel happy these few years? Are you happy?"

Si Yuanting let him lean in the most comfortable position in his arms, bowed his head and pressed a kiss on his forehead, and said in a warm voice: "I'm very happy and happy. Having a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for."

So Chu Yuezhi finally closed his eyes in satisfaction, his face bloomed like the sweet and happy bright smile when Si Yuanting promised to marry him when he was a child, he let go of Baiyu Guanyin's hand, but held on persistently. On Si Yuanting's sleeve, an almost inaudible whisper slipped from his lips: "Si Jiu, in the next life, Chu Qi will marry Si Jiu as his wife..."

Si Yuanting hugged Chu Yuezhi and lay down slowly on the bed, patted him on the shoulder as always to lull him to sleep, and whispered softly in his ear: "Okay, in the next life, Si Jiu will marry Chu Qi as his wife."

In the next life, may our lives be ordinary, neither king nor minister, I will still be the Si Jiu who protects you all your life, and you will still be the Chu Qi who promised me everything; Witnessed by your parents, relatives and friends, welcome you as your wife.
