I don't know how many years the wind has been blowing in the West Sea, and it seems that it will always be so bitter.

As far as the eye can see, there is sea water all around, and the water is as blue as tourmaline, rippling in waves, even if it is still so far away, you can feel the suffocation of being submerged.

Even if he stepped on a solid reef, Xiao Shaoyun always felt like a flat boat between heaven and earth, which could disappear at any time.

He waited for Yuan Hui's monk for many years, but the monk never came, I don't know if Yuan Hui had forgotten what he had promised him, or if fate still made him wait like this.

Wei Wan saw Xiao Shaoyun standing on the rocky reef from a distance and looking in the direction of the east, and the kind of uneasiness in her heart came out again.

It's been more than ten years, is he still unwilling?

She spent all her years with him in such a place, and he didn't care about it seriously, didn't he care at all?

Wei Wan, who already had a few strands of gray hair on her sideburns, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, a sense of powerlessness that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get that heart.

People's hearts should not be stones, but why can't she cover this person's heart?

A few white seabirds swept overhead, making a crisp chirping sound, as if sensing that someone was coming behind him, Xiao Shaoyun suddenly turned his head.

Wei Wan also hid the fragile sadness revealed in her eyes at the same time, but her heart was still pounding.

For many years, she has been looking at this handsome face and never gets tired of looking at it.

Now that he found out, Wei Wan no longer hesitated, walked over with her skirt, and asked out loud:

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Shaoyun didn't answer, just stared at the woman who walked around the rugged reef and jumped over.

More than ten years of time is like an endless sea of water, he never cared when it was lost, but it was really lost in him and the woman in front of him, never to come back.

Today, when he saw the white hair on her sideburns, the fine lines that appeared at the corners of her eyes, and heard her extraordinarily calm voice at the moment, Xiao Shaoyun actually felt very sad in his heart.

Unconsciously, she really followed him for a lifetime as she said back then.

I remember that when I first came to this place with him, Wei Wan was still a woman in her prime, and she sneered at him every day, and tried her best to ridicule him, as if she would never be able to get along with him, and her fighting spirit was high.

Let her go, but she refuses.

He reached out to catch her who jumped off the reef, and couldn't help but sigh:

"How old are you, why are you still bouncing like this...... Do you want to go back to land?"

Wei Wan couldn't remember how many times he had asked her this question.

But she still shook her head, smiling but cold.

"What are you going to do? Now when I go back, no one will want me, here, no matter how bad it is, I'm still Mrs. Xihaihou, don't you say?"

As soon as Xiao Shaoyun heard this, he was ready to quarrel again.

He shook his head, not letting go of the hand he was holding her, and pointed to the blue sea with the other:

"Your family is on that side, don't you miss them?"

"Family ......"

Wei Wan couldn't help but mourn in her heart.

The father and mother who gave birth to her, the younger brothers and sisters who grew up together, how can she not miss it?

Back then, I was desperate to grasp this little bit of affection, I really don't know what crazy I was at that time.

Xiao Shaoyun lowered her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little indescribable because of her slight hesitation.

She actually regretted it a long time ago, didn't she?

"If you regret it, I'll go and ask that man to let him allow you to go home and not have to spend any more time in this place. ”

Xiao Shaoyun felt that he was telling the truth, but Wei Wan jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail in a moment:

"Heh, dragging me until now before you want to get rid of me? Xiao Shaoyun, you are dreaming! I don't leave, I won't leave if I die! I just die, I want to drag you here!"

Wei Wan, who was sneering, shook off Xiao Shaoyun's hand, walked back angrily, took two steps, but turned around again, put her arm on Xiao Shaoyun's neck, tiptoed on his lips and bit him hard, until her mouth was full of salty blood, she let go of him, and tears flowed out of her eyes:

"If Bai Chenghuan is here to accompany you, do you want her to go?

"I don't understand where I'm not as good as her, what am I inferior to her? It's great to have a lonely ghost living in her body, and you can't forget it for the rest of your life?"

"Do I have to die once, so that you can know how good my Wei Wan is to you, and you can know that I, Wei Wan, am also the only one in the world!"

Xiao Shaoyun stood in place in a daze, letting the blood from the corners of his lips gurgle out, looking at the crazy woman in a daze, and his heart swept through the turbulent waves that had not been seen for many years.

So that's what she's always thought?

Before he had time to deny it, he saw Wei Wan in front of him suddenly climb onto the reef closest to the sea, with his blood hanging from the corner of his lips, and his smile was resolute:

"If you have to do this, okay, I'll jump from here now, and when I'm dead, you can tell me whether I'm someone else's stand-in or the unique Wei Wan - anyway, I'm alive and I've never been loved by you! Your heart is a stone, and I'll never get it!"

"No!"

Xiao Shaoyun finally reacted and quickly stretched out his hand to grab Wei Wan, but where was he so fast as someone who had the will to die?

His hand only grasped a piece of void, just like in his previous life, he kicked open the door of Zhaoyang Palace, but he was finally a step too late and couldn't grasp anything.

"Wei Wan!"

His mind was blank for a moment, Xiao Shaoyun didn't think about anything, just shouted, and jumped down.

It seems to be in a dream, up and down, Xiao Shaoyun grabbed something, but it didn't seem to catch it.

No, his heart wasn't like that from the beginning.

No one knows that in his previous life, in the end, he found so many people and exhausted everything he had, but the result he got was that he couldn't come back, and Cheng Huan's soul couldn't be brought back.

And he finally knew from a Taoist priest that he gave birth to five sons and three daughters in a row, none of them survived, and the only possibility would only be him and Cheng Huan, who were originally blood relatives-

This is the retribution of incestuous things, it is all the punishment and retribution of God!

He finally understood why his mother, who was infinitely favored, fell from the queen's high position to die in the cold palace overnight.

At that moment, all he could think of was when he was only twelve years old, when his mother died suddenly, his father's complete snub to him, and the Qiao family was destroyed overnight.

My father, who had never bowed his head to anyone in his life, learned of his mother's death, and once knelt down beside his mother's body and asked humbly:

"Qiao Huan, have you ever loved me? Have you ever loved me? Why do you treat me like this? Who are you ...... with?"

Queen Qiao, who had been dead for a long time, naturally couldn't respond to all her husband's questions.

Xiao Shaoyun heard his father crying in the empty cold palace, the Ninety-Five Honor, at that moment, humble as dust.

When his father found out about him, he told him with a gloomy look in his eyes that all women in this world can't be trusted, they are all liars, and they are all unkind people.

"Ah Yun, if you give your heart to a woman you don't understand, it is to give your heart to others to ravage, in this life, others crush your heart, you can't turn over! ”

That was the last time his father spoke to him in the tone of father and son, and after that, he never even got a smile from his father.

He didn't know what his mother had done wrong, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and everything in his life changed overnight.

Later, his father still buried his mother in the imperial mausoleum, still retained her throne as the queen, and when he died, he still wanted to be buried with her, but he left such a will not be posthumously sealed.

The huge scar that lingered in his father's heart, whether it was love or hate, he could hardly tell.

It's just that after his mother left, he fell into a problem, as long as a woman appeared around him, he couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomiting.

No one can explain this problem clearly, he only knows that Cheng Huan is the only exception.

Maybe it's because he's used to keeping her by his side, or maybe he feels in his heart that he understands such a woman he grew up with.

Four years later, my father was in the prime of life, but he fell ill and died soon.

He finally ended his fearful career as a crown prince and ascended to the throne.

But the height was unbearable, and he was still used to leaving the woman he knew best by his side.

He hasn't forgotten what his father said, but if he gives his heart to Cheng Huan, he should never be let down and betrayed, right?

He did not hesitate and fell in love with Xu Chenghuan, who became a beautiful girl.

Accompanied by each other when they were young and fell in love when they were young, they were single-minded with each other and vowed to be together forever.

If it weren't for the hardship of the heirs, what a perfect life they would have gotten.

Such a dream was shattered when everything was revealed.

In fact, when his mother died, he understood what was happening, right? He deceived himself, but he couldn't fool his body.

Because of the entanglement between his parents, he hated the women in this world in his heart, but he couldn't abandon a normal person's desire for love.

But in the life of the previous life, in the end, love is no longer important, what is important is the hatred and unwillingness of this fate.

If he had to do it all over again, he would have to take all his fate into his own hands.

At all costs, as long as there is a perfect ending.

This was all he wanted when he found out that he was actually reborn.

But looking at this restart, he still hasn't gotten anything, and it's even worse than in his previous life-

It was desolate, desolate and desolate.

If he had to say that he was able to catch something in the end, it seemed that all that was left was the woman who jumped into the sea in front of his eyes.

Wei Wan ...... Wei Wan ......"

The person lying on the bed seemed to be still in a nightmare, tossing and turning, clutching the person on his side and not letting go.

The woman lying next to him stared at him quietly, tears running down the corners of her eyes and into her hair, wet and cold.

After a long time, she answered softly:

"I'm here. ”

Liu Defu, an old eunuch who was already old and dizzy, waited tremblingly to the side regardless of his sick body.

He didn't see Wei Wan's tears, but he heard his master's nightmares over and over again.

Even though he had been treating Wei Wan very respectfully, the loyal old eunuch couldn't help but bring a few points at this time:

"Madam, you follow the emperor...... Hou Ye has been in existence for so many years, you should know his temper, why do you want to seek death...... You're having a good time, aren't you?"

Wei Wan cried and laughed, laughed and cried.

If she doesn't die and gamble, how can she know if this life is worth it.

It's just that this person is so stupid, he doesn't remember it at all, she told him that she was born in Jiangnan, can she drink water?

From this day on, for Wei Wan, the sky and sea in the West Sea are blue, and the sea breeze is warm.

Maybe it's because she has been depressed in the first half of her life, although the days with Xiao Shaoyun were quite smooth later, Wei Wan still came to the end of her life at the age of forty-nine.

Wei Wan, who was dying, leaned on Xiao Shaoyun's arms and asked him for one last thing:

"If there is an afterlife, can you know me earlier...... Earlier than Bai Chenghuan, earlier than Xu Chenghuan...... Would you like to?"

knew that the afterlife was just an ethereal thought, but she still stubbornly grabbed Xiao Shaoyun's sleeve and refused to let go.

Xiao Shaoyun looked down at the person who was about to leave him, hugged her tightly in his arms, and promised her.

"Okay, if there is an afterlife, I'll go to you first. ”

Wei Wan closed her eyes contentedly, still tugging at the sleeve in her hand and refusing to let go.

Xiao Shaoyun sat with her in her arms for a long time, and her eyes gradually turned red.

The last person he was able to catch was gone.

In the distant capital, on the spiritualist platform that had been abandoned for many years, Yuan Hui stood up and looked to the west.

There, clouds and mist shrouded the road ahead, but he could see that the lights were fading out.

One night after the death of Mrs. Wei Wan of Xihaihou, Xiao Shaoyun, who was sitting alone on the beach, saw a monk coming from the sea.

The solemn monk is still the same as many years ago, and in the dark night, his whole body exudes the brilliance of the Buddha's country.

"You're here......"

He rose to meet him, with joy and anticipation.

"Amitabha. ”

The monk in the Buddha's light smiled slightly:

"The poor monk will come to the donor to leave today, but I want to ask the donor, who will it be for this time?"

For whom?

The rebirth of this life is for the happiness of the previous life, so the next life ......

Xiao Shaoyun looked at the vast sea, thought about it, and replied:

"It's all fate...... Also, can you let me forget all about it and just remember her?"

If you can't fight, why force it?

I hope that in the next life, people will not live up to him, and he will not live up to people.

There was a sudden wind and waves in the West Sea, and the sea water poured ashore, like a reversal of the passing years, and a reversal of time.

In the spring of the third year of Showa, Queen Qiao Huan accompanied her son to play until late at night before returning to Shangyang Palace.

The sky was already dark, and the flowers and plants inside and outside the Shangyang Palace were rustling in the spring breeze, hiding the unusual in the shadows.

Empress Qiao stepped into Shangyang Palace with her front foot, and the palace maid of Ziwei Palace, where the prince lived, hurriedly came with her back foot:

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly has a high fever, please come over!"

"What?"

Queen Qiao was shocked: "Obviously, the crown prince is fine, how can you say that you are sick?"

She turned around and left, and ordered someone to invite the emperor to come with her.

The entire palace was busy all night because of the illness of His Royal Highness the Prince, and this night, Queen Qiao has been staying in the Ziwei Palace and has not returned to Shangyang Palace.

The person hiding in the shadows waited from dark until late at night, from late night until the east was slightly bright, and his heart was completely cooled.

She has a husband and a son, and he Zhan Songlin is nothing after all, and he can't go back.

A crane-like figure swept past the palace wall, silently disappearing into the morning light, never to look back.

In Fanghua Palace, Xiurong looked at Xu Shuning's face cautiously:

"Mother, that man, he's gone. ”

When Xu Shuning heard this, she was stunned for a long time, and then leaned on the soft couch weakly, as if crying instead of crying, and smiling rather than laughing.

"Such a good opportunity, he can actually miss it...... You deserve it, you deserve it!"

Xiurong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ill last night, otherwise if the queen was in the palace, she would really be entangled with that Zhan Songlin...... She didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Let's go, go completely this time, and never come back.

After a long time, the mother will always let go.

Thirteen years later, in the royal hunting ground of Jingchun Garden, several half-grown teenagers were chasing on horseback.

Prince Xiao Shaoyun took the lead in running in front, and shot a hare with an arrow, before turning around and smiling at the young man behind him:

"Xu Chenghuan, it doesn't matter if your name is like a young lady, this slow look really looks like a girl!"

The young man who was teased by the prince was not annoyed, and rode slowly to catch up, shaking his head:

"Our Xu family has my eldest brother who is brave and extraordinary, as the second son, I can enjoy wealth and prosperity, what are you doing so desperately to steal the limelight with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Yes, Cheng Huan is right!" Yao Zejia, the fat little son of the Ningguo Mansion, also hurriedly agreed.

"You guys, it's really useless!"

Xiao Shaoyun said this, but the smile on his face was extremely comfortable, it is only interesting to play with such a person, the two sons of Weibei Houfu and Ningguo Mansion are all pillars, but unfortunately they are too serious and calm.

Several people galloped along the river bank for a while, and faintly heard a woman's laughter getting closer and closer.

"Oh, today is the queen's spring feast, are we in the wrong place?"

Yao Zejia remembered something and was a little nervous.

Xiao Shaoyun was also about to turn the horse's head, only Xu Chenghuan continued to beat the horse and move forward:

"Yao Zejia, you are really boring, where are you afraid of the queen's mother's blame, are you afraid of seeing the faces of those noble girls?

When Xiao Shaoyun heard him say this, his eyes rolled, and he continued to move forward with a smile:

"Yes, this problem has to be changed, go, take you to the spring banquet to take a look!"

Yao Zejia's face turned red, and he also shook the horsewhip:

"Nonsense, where do I have this problem, let's go!"

Several people ran to the location of the spring banquet with a smile, only to see that on the other side of the river, there was a little woman bowing down to Queen Qiao Yingying:

"Courtiers Wei Wan pays a visit to the queen mother!"

Wei Wan!

The moment he heard this name, it was like a cluster of fireworks blooming in his mind, for no reason, like something that had taken root and sprouted in his heart for a long time, and suddenly he saw it as real.

Xiao Shaoyun suddenly got off the horse and ran over there.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is ......" Yao Zejia was inexplicable.

Xu Chenghuan squinted his eyes:

Wei Wan ...... I heard my mother say that the Zhan family married the eldest aunt in Jiangnan, Mrs. Wei, and returned to Beijing, this is her eldest daughter, right?"

Wei Wan, who was saluting, was startled by the young man who suddenly appeared in front of her, because the young man came up and grabbed her wrist.

She immediately retreated and struggled:

"Let go of me!"

"Wei Wan, Wei Wan!"

Xiao Shaoyun read the name twice more and smiled at the panicked girl.

Queen Qiao's rebuke, and the chatter of the ladies after the silence, were not enough to destroy the sudden light in his eyes.

He turned around and said loudly to Queen Qiao:

"Queen Mother, I want her to be my crown princess!"
