C275 God's Gift

Ever since Li Chengrui had exposed his true identity, the time he spent with Zhangsun Wenyan had grown longer and longer. They often invited Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong to swim in the lake together, to roam around.

Zhangsun Wenyan could also clearly feel the change in Li Chengrui's body, the things that were imprisoning him seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

His entire person was like a shining sun, exuding a warm feeling.

On the day of Zhangsun Wenyan's and Li Chengrui's wedding, the ten li of red makeup was spread across the entire capital's streets.

Li Chengrui seemed to want to repay all he had owed Zhangsun Wenyan over the years.

Zhangsun Wenxuan stood on the steps of the Prime Minister's Estate and personally watched Li Chengrui carry Zhangsun Wenyan, who had a red veil over her head, into the bridal sedan.

From then on, whether it was the daughter of a noble family or the daughter of an official, they were both carried into the bridal sedan by the bridegroom.

Watching as the bridal sedan moved further and further away, Zhangsun Wenxuan's heart surged with boundless emotions.

Back then at the banquet, he was worried that his sister would live her entire life as a widow because of Xuanyuan Rui, but after going through a series of twists and turns, he was able to let his sister meet another man who was very similar to Xuanyuan Rui.

Heaven has always been fair, and those who owe you always pay you back in another way.

After marriage, the relationship between Zhangsun Wenyan and her wife had become even more harmonious, just like every single new couple. If you undress me, I will draw your eyebrows.

Only, as the day of Li Chengrui's departure from the capital with Zhangsun Wenyan drew closer and closer, the reluctance in Xuanyuan Chen's heart grew stronger.

Until the day before he left, Li Chengrui had invited Xuanyuan Chen to have a chat, to make his final farewell.

Xuanyuan Chen brought Li Chengrui to the memorial hall that he had helped Xuanyuan Rui cultivate. Li Chengrui looked at his own figure on the stone tablet and sighed in his heart.

Gently stroking the cold body of the monolith, he said faintly: "Looking at your own mausoleum can be considered a different feeling from before."

Xuanyuan Chen laughed, and then smiled bitterly, "At that time, I thought that my royal brother had passed away, and only my brother's broken clothes could be worn at the bottom of the cliff, so I could only build a grave."

"All these years, Chendi has never been able to believe that her Imperial Brother had passed away. Chendi always feels that her Imperial Brother is still alive and well in a corner that Chendi can't see. I never imagined that there would come a day when Chendi would be able to see my Imperial Brother with his own two eyes. "

Li Chengrui patted Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, silently giving him some comfort.

The place where the tomb was erected was very remote, but the surroundings of the tomb were very clean, not a single blade of grass could be seen.

The night wind gently blew over from the distance, blowing the black hair on the sides of their faces along with the wind.

"Since my royal brother is still alive in this world, there is no need for him to exist here." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently.

"No need. Currently, the person who lives in this world is only a person called Li Chengrui, and not the former crown prince of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom, Xuanyuan Rui. " Li Chengrui said.

Thus, Xuanyuan Rui's name followed the wind and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

"Tomorrow I will leave the capital with Wen Yan. I will be counting on Chen Er to take care of everything in Heavenly Sage Kingdom." Li Chengrui pressed her hand on Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, his expression serious, and asked.

"Chendi understands." Where does royal brother plan to bring royal sister-in-law? " Xuanyuan Chen asked.

If he had the chance in the future, he could also bring Xie Qingrong along to search for their tracks.

"Traveling the world, traveling through the four seas as one's home." Li Chengrui said, "I still have to stay here for a while, you should leave first."

Watching Xuanyuan Chen's disappearing figure, Li Chengrui lifted his robes and sat in front of the stone tablet. His fingers gently caressed the carved words' Xuanyuan Rui 'on the stone tablet.

He laughed lightly and self-deprecatingly said, "Actually, you are also very selfish. "He obviously doesn't want to be tied down by something like a conspiracy, but he still has to come up with a bunch of reasons to deceive himself. He had no choice but to entrust these burdens to his little brother."

However, compared to the crown prince who used to be a powerful figure with countless flattering people around him, he preferred the current life of a free and unfettered crane.

That was why he refused to acknowledge them.

The only selfish thing that had never happened to him before, was the little girl that he had placed at the top of his heart, Zhangsun Wenyan.

He watched as she transformed from a little girl who was babbling to a slim and graceful young girl, to a dignified and reserved girl of today.

Knowing that she would rather live forever in a beautiful dream of weaving and become a pawn fighting for power than wake up to face the cruel reality, he finally could not hold it in anymore and wanted to let go of his little girl.

Maybe it was wrong from the beginning.

He should not have appeared in this capacity, should not have given her any hope, allowed her to burn his life like a moth to the flame.

He should have been careful and held her in his hands. With a different identity, he should have protected her, taken care of her, cherished her, and doted upon her.

He stood up, took one last look at the cold monolith, and muttered: "Goodbye, Xuanyuan Rui."

From then on, the heavy burden of taking care of Zhangsun Wenyan was handed over to him, Li Chengrui.

Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong bid farewell to Li Chengrui and Zhangsun Wenyan at the city gate of the capital.

Xie Qingrong handed over a bag to Zhangsun Wenyan and laughed lightly: "I have placed a signal flare inside. If you encounter any danger, ignite it, and the closest tiller will help you."

Li Chengrui embraced his beautiful wife Zhangsun Wenyan and smiled: "I hope that this signal flare will never ignite that day."

"Goodbye." Zhangsun Wenyan slowly walked into the carriage, lifted the curtain of the palanquin, and said.

Li Chengrui rode on the carriage and left the capital.

No one knew where they were going.

On top of the city walls, Queen Zhangsun was wearing a thick and heavy cloak, holding her slightly cold hands, she watched the carriage slowly disappear into the distance until its figure shrunk into a small black dot, and finally disappeared.

Finally, he could no longer hold the pain in his eyes and threw himself into Emperor Xuanyuan's embrace, the sound of his crying was suppressed in his throat, and it was somewhat broken.

"A-Cheng." He called out the Emperor Xuanyuan's name in a low voice, his voice suppressed the sorrow, reluctance and helplessness within.

The Emperor Xuanyuan lightly patted Queen Zhangsun's back and gently coaxed, "Be good and don't cry. We should be happy for Rui Er, right? "At least he's still alive and well, not …"

"Yes." Queen Zhangsun replied softly.

However, the tears in his eyes continued to fall, wetting Emperor Xuanyuan's clothes.

Maybe he wouldn't be able to see Xuanyuan Rui again in the future, but compared to the fact that he was still alive and cold and had been lying in the ground for a long time, it was already the best gift that the heavens had bestowed upon him.
