Chapter 363, the finale
Three years later, Nangong Shumo returned to Beijing with his wife and children. [No pop-ups. In the same year, the emperor died of illness, and the crown prince Nangong Xun ascended the throne as emperor.
The new emperor ascended the throne and ordered the king of Chengyang to be the prince, and he overrode the public opinion, and the prince of the king of Chengyang, who had not yet reached the crown, was the king of the county. and sealed the princess of Chengyang as a first-class lady, and saw that the queen could not kneel and salute. and crowned the eldest son's mother as the queen. And sealed the harem, and the next year's draft enriched the harem.
The new emperor was more diligent and loved the people than the previous emperor, valued agriculture and supported businessmen, and even allowed the sons of merchants to enter the imperial examination. And let a large number of poor students enter the court as officials. The tax reduction and amnesty granted to the world created a prosperous dynasty for a time.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all praised the new emperor for his benevolence and kindness to his younger brother. But only Nangong Shumo and Mu Chenxue did not comment on this matter, but just accepted it indifferently. The new queen is smarter than the previous crown princess, she has never been an enemy of the Chengyang Palace, and she will not trouble Mu Chenxue, and even rewards her many times to befriend her.
For the kindness released by the queen, Mu Chenxue also paid respect, but rarely entered the palace.
Fifteen years later, Nangong Shumo put on armor and went out to the north, but died of heart palpitations at the time of the great victory. Mu Chenxue heard the bad news and turned white overnight, and returned to Beijing with his son Nangong Yi and his relatives to support the north. The emperor decreed that Prince Chengyang would be buried in the ancestral mausoleum with the gift of the crown prince.
And the king of the county, Nangong Yi, inherited the throne of Chengyang and moved the fief Youzhou. But he left Mu Chenxue in Shoushan, the capital, and the princess of the world wanted to guard the tomb for the king of Chengyang. Hundreds of officials praised the emperor for treating heroes well, but only Mu Chenxue knew that the emperor separated her from her son because he was afraid that she would find a short-sightedness.
After moving to Shoushan, only Bao Ru was left close to him, and every morning, he would stand in front of the window and gaze at the sky. This Tianmu Chenxue got up and stood in front of the window again in the morning, Baoru took a cloak and draped it over his shoulders, "Princess, your old illness has recurred in the past few days, so let's stand for a while today!" ”
"I don't have much time to miss my husband, and it's only when I'm standing that I feel like I'm closer to him!" In Mu Chenxue's heart, Nangong Shumo went to heaven, so she would gaze at the sky every day, and relied on reminiscing about this remnant life.
"Madam, don't say something unlucky, the slave feels uncomfortable when she hears it!" Bao Ru held back tears. Mu Chenxue was expressionless, and the expression on Mu Chenxue's face had not changed since Nangong Shumo left. That is, there is no sadness, there is no pain, no matter what Baoru says every day, she is the same light and breezy.
While the master and servant were gossiping, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
"Brother came a little earlier than usual today?" Mu Chenxue didn't salute even if she saw Nangong Xun now, and her tone was flat, she just turned around and looked at him.
"Now you're the only one who still calls me the same as before!" Nangong Xun was not angry because of Mu Chenxue's rudeness. On the contrary, he enjoyed the fact that Mu Chenxue was called so, so that it was like returning to the beginning.
"In my heart, you are the brother of Big Brother Feng and my forever friend of Mu Chenxue!" Today's Nangong Xun lives up to his heroic appearance because of his diligence and worries, but in Mu Chenxue's heart, Nangong Xun is still the brother of the year. Because the way he looked at himself never changed.
Nangong Xun motioned for Baoru to retreat, Baoru looked at his wife, and when he saw that his wife nodded, he retreated, but he did not go far, but stayed outside the door.
Nangong Xun walked in front of Mu Chenxue, raised his hand and stroked the silver threads on her head, "If there are people who are willing to turn white for me overnight, I don't know how good it would be!" ”
"Leaning on the clouds alone, who will relieve the tears? A light care is sent to, and a few wisps of heartfelt affection are full of Dongqiu. Shocked powder, sighing and shy, fragrant like water and dreaming like silk. However, there are many emotional ties, and the green silk is changed for white head overnight. This is a word written by Mr. Liang Yusheng, a martial arts writer in his previous life, and when he read it in the morning and snow, he was full of endless thoughts about his husband Nangong Shumo.
"It's a good sentence, 'I can't help but be more affectionate, and the green silk will change the white head overnight.'" Nangong Xun repeated this sentence repeatedly, and the more he read it, the deeper the pain in his heart. As the emperor, he sits on the world, but he is full of jealousy of his younger brother who died early. Because the younger brother has a lover that he can't have in his life.
Mu Chenxue knew that her time was short, and she rushed thousands of miles to the border city to find her husband before she was confined, so that her body was already overdrawn. Therefore, Nangong Xun felt that today's Mu Chenxue looked more gentle than usual, "Now all I have left is this pair of skins, if my brother still has regrets in his heart, I am willing to dedicate this body to my brother!" ”
At the beginning, Mu Chenxue had promised Nangong Xun a life in the next life, but now she regrets it, so she wants to use this soulless body to repay the promise of the year. In the next life, she still wants to join hands with Nangong Shumo for the rest of her life.
Nangong Xun thought that he had misheard, and with Mu Chenxue's love for his second brother, he would never say such a thing, "Chenxue, you? ”
But he still couldn't help but take Mu Chenxue into his arms. These days, Nangong Xun has often been like this, but Mu Chenxue has never responded. But today, Mu Chenxue stretched out his hand and hugged Nangong Xun, "Chenxue, are you really willing?" ”
"This life is in this life, why bother to entangle it until the next life!" How could Nangong Xun not know what Mu Chenxue meant, he shook his head firmly, "No, you promised me to live in the next life, and after a hundred years, I will meet you a moment earlier than my second brother!" ”
Today's Nangong Xun no longer wants not only Mu Chenxue's body, but also her soul, her lifelong belief in love. What he wanted was everything for her.
Mu Chenxue sighed in her heart, Nangong Shumo had already left, and she was going to leave too, but she left Nangong Xun alone in this world. No one knew what the afterlife was like, and even if Mu Chenxue was a reborn person, she didn't dare to think about where her next life was. But she would rather believe that her next life and Nangong Shumo would definitely intersect again, because before she could say goodbye to him or tell him the biggest secret in her heart, Nangong Shumo suddenly left.
So she has too many regrets and unwillingness in this life. Guided by the obsession of her souls in two lives, she believes that her next life will definitely continue with Nangong Shumo. And she is destined to bear Nangong Xun in her next life, so she wants to use this crippled body to repay all these love debts.
The day after Nangong Xun left, Nangong Yi went to Beijing to see his mother. However, Mu Chenxue had closed her eyes forever, and she left, leaving with endless thoughts of Nangong Shumo. Nangong Yi scattered all the family wealth and gave all the property of his mother to the emperor's uncle. I only ask for a decree to bury my father and mother together in the ancestral mausoleum.
Nangong Xun finally agreed, but in the second year after Mu Chenxue was buried, Nangong Xun also died, he couldn't wait to find Mu Chenxue, and he was even more afraid that his second brother would find Mu Chenxue before him. It's just that no one knows any more.
Nangong Yi has only been a virtuous king all his life, assisting the emperor. (To be continued.) )
