After half a day of nurturing the mother and child, Little Pei was about to return to the human world. He promised his mother that he would take good care of his family, but his fate with them was also over.
Little Pei followed the rest of the family back to Baisha County, begging them not to cremate their mother, and so everyone buried Xiaowan in the back mountain, next to their birth mother.
Xiaowan saw all of this from the sky.
She thought of her own mother and asked Ling Chaofeng if she could take her to see, but her mother and sister had already been reincarnated long ago. Her husband brought her to the south, where it was spring all year round and there was no snow or ice. Coincidentally, that family also owned an inn.
"Mother and sister, in the next life, you'll be mother and daughter again." Xiaowan was very pleased, she said to Ling Chaofeng with even more confidence, "In the next life, our family will definitely meet again."
Ling Chaofeng smiled without a word and brought Xiaowan back to the Heavenly Court. On the way, she asked the empress how he was doing, but Ling Chaofeng only replied indifferently, everything was fine.
In reality, the empress had somehow fallen ill. Seeing that it was almost New Year's Eve, the palace should have been bustling with noise and excitement, but the empress was ill.
Wei Tengfei had originally learned that the Xiaowan had passed away and was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. However, halfway to Baisha County, he received news that the Empress was gravely ill.
The imperial physicians looked at the batches after batches of Siyan's illness, drinking them one by one, yet the empress was only getting thinner and thinner. Although she forced herself to focus on her husband and the royal family who had come to visit her, she was unable to hold on any longer and her body continued to deteriorate.
When Wei Tengfei hurried over, tired from all the work, he was lying on the bed and trying to get her daughter to crawl towards her. When he saw her brother coming in angrily, she weakly smiled and said: "Big brother, you're here."
Seeing her little sister who was like a flower and jade turning into such a state, Wei Tengfei truly had the heart to kill. He regretted forcing Siyan to go to the Beijing talent show and marrying her little sister to a place a thousand miles away in the imperial city, regretting that he couldn't make her spend her life like a normal girl that was beloved by her husband. He regretted making her bear the burden of Chuanyu, and made her bear the burden of the world.
However, it was too late for regret.
The wet nurse carried the little princess away and the two siblings looked at each other with their hands together. Siyan said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, the Xiaowan is gone, I didn't protect her well."
Wei Tengfei shook his head: "The dead is enough, Siyan, big brother doesn't want her anymore, big brother only wants you to get better. Why are you sick, is it because of Xiaowan? Siyan, you must pull yourself together. There are still many people who are worthy of you surviving well. "
Siyan shook her head, a smile was hanging on her pale and gloomy face, "It's not for the Xiaowan, even if it's for her, I just want to live on and take care of my family. Why should I be depressed? "Brother, I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly got sick, how can I not get better?"
After having played with her daughter and having expended some effort, she lay down on the bed and held her brother's hand, saying, "Big brother, if I leave, you don't have to be angry with the emperor, he will definitely be the one who hurts the most. If you want to continue to lead the Chuanyu army and protect the Daqi, then think about how your niece and uncle will need to pamper her. "
Wei Tengfei steeled his heart, covered his eyes with tears and nodded: "Siyan, promise brother, that you will live."
At this time, the palace came to report that the emperor had invited the great general to discuss the matter at Qingming Pavilion. He let Siyan wash up properly and brought along a body covered in wind and dust to the Qingming Pavilion.
Walking outside the Qingming Pavilion door, he could see the majestic Announcement Hall in front of him. The divine beast stone statue on the Announcement Hall had already been repaired, and today, Ling Chaofeng himself was back on duty.
Ling Chaofeng seemed to meet Wei Tengfei's eyes, so naturally Wei Tengfei's eyes were empty. He was thinking, what kind of background does Xiaowan have, and why did so many strange things happen to her? But now, even if he were to understand it, it would be useless.
Ling Chaofeng's heart suddenly tightened. He seemed to have sensed what was happening in the sky and couldn't help but be worried for the Xiaowan.
Today, the Xiaowan was left alone in the immortal residence. She listened to Ling Chaofeng and would not take a step out of her home, but being idle at home was too boring. Other than thinking about her family, there was nothing else she could do.
Thus, she helped her husband cut the flowers and plants. The flowers and plants in the immortal residence all had intelligence, they would nod to her after Xiaowan took care of them.
"The days in the Heavenly Court are cold and depressing. You have nothing to do, but I'm afraid you won't be able to endure it in a few days." Suddenly, the sound of a woman's voice came from outside the door. The Dragon Queen walked in with a smile, "You will come to the mortal world to deal with things. How can you be at peace here?"
Xiaowan stood up, her hand still holding the scissors. Seemingly feeling that it was impolite, she quickly put it down.
"Chaofeng doesn't have to worry about leaving you here alone. Aren't you afraid that you'll get into trouble?" The Dragon Queen took a glance at the immortal estate and even the fairy maiden left. There was only the Xiaowan left, how much of a precious wife her son had.
Seeing her lower her head and slightly move her lips, the Dragon Queen asked: "Are you hesitating? How should I address you?"
Xiaowan nodded her head in embarrassment. She knew that this was her mother-in-law, but …
"Let's call her Grandma. As for what it means, you and I both understand it in our hearts." Dragon Queen said coldly, "However, I don't recognize you as a daughter-in-law."
The last time they met, his mother-in-law had almost strangled her. Xiaowan knew very well that she did not like him, and she did not know what to do to make her mother-in-law happy.
Suddenly thinking of Jade Ring, she carefully took off the ring on her finger and passed it to him with both hands. "Granny, I'll return this ring to you."
Dragon Queen lightly tapped on the ring and it flew in front of her. Xiaowan watched as she pressed the ring to the door of his heart and then the ring disappeared.
Originally, I wanted you to protect Chaofeng. I didn't expect you to make things worse, and even make him commit a murder for you. I have warned you, you can't tell anyone, and you can't tell Chaofeng either. Why must you tell him? Otherwise, you could have used the ring to save yourself. The Chaofeng wouldn't have destroyed his ninth life to save you. "
Xiaowan lowered her head, she had nothing to say, she was truly foolish, as long as she was clever, she would definitely be able to make good use of this ring, instead of acting like a bull in a haystack, the further she went, the narrower the road became, and there would be no way out.
Dragon Queen approached Xiaowan, causing his to retreat in fright. Currently, she was only a strand of his soul, if he were to make a move, Dragon Queen's finger would be able to destroy her.
"Come with me." The Dragon Queen said coldly.
"Master said that I am not allowed to leave the immortal estate." Xiaowan immediately refused.
"I'm your husband's mother." Dragon Queen's eyes were filled with anger. He gently stroked his arm and turned around to leave, but Xiaowan followed his uncontrollably, as if he was bound by something and dragged away by his mother-in-law.
"Where are you taking me?" Xiaowan struggled a bit, but to no avail.
"Go and see what kind of life Ling Chaofeng will experience a thousand years from now." Dragon Queen said ashe brought Xiaowan into the whirlpool of clouds. She felt the world was spinning, but after that, she was forced to follow his mother-in-law and saw the world a thousand years later.
A thousand years later, the clothes worn by the commoners in the mortal world had already changed from those of the Modern Realm. Daqi Nation was divided into several small nations, which fought back and forth all day long, filling the air with smoke.
After Ling Chaofeng finished protecting his Daqi, his first life was to become a soldier. On the battlefield, he was squashed into meat pulp by the wheels of the wheels.
In the next life, he became an evil official. After his death, his bones were turned into ashes, and he was even carved into a kneeling stone statue. All generations of people despised him.
In the next life, he would be a bandit who would commit all sorts of crimes. He would murder and burn people, rob women, and be shot to death by random arrows.
Later...
The Xiaowan watched on fearfully. When she returned to the immortal residence, she was still trembling when she was slammed into the ground by the Dragon Queen.
"This is everything you brought to Ling Chaofeng. You brought endless punishment to that husband you yearn for."
Dragon Queen ferociously lifted Xiaowan's chin, and said with hatred: "You only want to be with him, you only care about your own desires, do you think that just being together with him is equivalent to the peace of the world? "How laughable!"
Dragon Queen flung the Xiaowan aside and glared at her. "Do you really have the heart to suffer such a transformation after a thousand years? The person you love will bring your love to him and do all sorts of evil things. You will be scolded, and your bones will be turned to ashes. Is this your love? "
Xiaowan looked at her mother-in-law in shock. Seeing such a tragic reality, she was still unable to calm her mind.
"No matter how we resolve this matter, if we cannot change my son's fate, I will massacre the Baisha County and use the lives of everyone there to accompany you in death." Dragon Queen sneered, "Whether you want to protect your family and those innocent villagers, or not, will depend on how you show off."
"I... What can I do? " the Xiaowan asked, trembling.
"You can …"
But at this moment, Ling Chaofeng flew back. When he stepped through the door, he saw Xiaowan on the ground, while his mother was overbearing.
"Late?" He rushed over to help his wife up and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Since the Xiaowan was still a soul now, of course she wouldn't feel any pain. She shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine."
Dragon Queen frowned, he could not bear to see them acting in such a loving manner, but without saying anything, she turned and left.
Ling Chaofeng chased after his and asked his mother: "What did you say to Xiaowan?"
Dragon Queen said coldly: "Ask her yourself."
Ling Chaofeng said: "It was you who intentionally lured Xiaowan to the Imperial Palace, it was you who deliberately let her know that I was in the stone statue, Mother.
Dragon Queen turned around and looked at his son desolately. "Who was the reason I put in so much effort? Use her? If she could really be used, you wouldn't have become like this. "
When the mother and son duo were quarreling, a furious roar came from the mortal world. It was the Emperor Xiang Run's painful cry, probably due to the Queen's illness repeating itself.
Dragon Queen made a calculation with his fingers and coldly said: "The other lotus is almost unable to hold on any longer, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If you continue to be warm with your young lady for a moment longer, it would be the end of you. "
Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "It won't end like that. I'll be with her for all eternity."
