Although the two have been married for many years and have even given birth to three children, Shangguan Zhen knows very well in his heart that he loves Ruan Mianmian far more than Ruan Mianmian.

He gave as hard as he could, never expecting the same amount in return.

If you want to compare feelings to war, he must be the one who loses the most, disarming and surrendering early, showing all the hole cards, and letting the other party choose, and his only request is to hope that Mianmian will stay by his side.

But now, Ruan Mianmian said that she wanted to go with him.

It's a promise to live and die together.

It's something he once couldn't even think about.

Shangguan Ji has never been a generous person, especially emotionally, he is very selfish.

When he realized that he might die soon, he began to think about what Mianmian would do in the future, he was afraid that Mianmian would not forget him, but he was even more afraid that Mianmian would forget him.

He wanted to take her with him.

But he couldn't say this, he couldn't forcibly deprive Mianmian of the right to live because of selfishness.

She is not him, she may have love for him, but that love is definitely not to the point where she can't live without him. Even if he dies in the future, she will be sad for a while at most, and then how to live it.

What he never expected was that Mianmian actually offered to go with him.

She was willing to die with him.

This moved him more than countless sweet words and vows.

Shangguan Ji couldn't help but hug her tightly, bowed his head and kissed her cheek, and called her name affectionately.

"Lingering ......"

Ruan Mianmian raised her head and met it, and the lips of the two were intertwined.

It's a long, deep kiss without a hint of lust.

The two have been together for most of their lives, and they are so familiar with each other that they even know a few fine lines on each other's faces, and there is no need to say a lot of words, they tacitly choose to respond to each other with hugs and kisses.

Heavy rain continued for more than a month.

When the sky cleared, the dark clouds hovering over Jiangnan finally dissipated.

The people rejoiced, and the heavy rain stopped, which meant that the flood would soon recede, and they would no longer have to drag their families around.

The guards carried boxes of luggage onto the ship, and Ruan Mianmian helped Shangguan Jian into the cabin and let him lie down on the bed.

She took out the medicine she had prepared in advance, and while feeding him the medicine, she said, "When you return to the palace, let the imperial doctors take a good look at you." ”

Shangguan Zhen did not say the same frustrating words as whether this disease was cured or not, but obediently responded: "Hmm." ”

The big boat was sailing on the river, it was sunny outside, and the weather was nice.

But Ruan Mianmian didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery, she stayed by the bed day after day, watching Shangguan Jian lose weight day by day.

In the past, every time she left directly after completing the task, she walked neatly, never thinking about how the person left behind would feel.

Now she finally knows.

It was precisely because she knew that she felt more and more guilty in her heart.

Ten days later, they returned to the palace without incident.

After the crown prince took his younger siblings out of the palace to greet his father and mother, they were all shocked when they saw their father and emperor, who was seriously ill.

The queen mother had written to them before, in which she said that her father was sick, and they only thought it was a minor illness such as a cold and fever, but they never thought that their father was so sick.

The crown prince immediately summoned all the imperial doctors of the entire imperial hospital and urged them to treat his father.

Ruan Mianmian has been sitting silently next to her.

She looked at Shangguan Zhen's thin face, and her eyes were a little dazed.

A long time ago, she was also terminally ill, and the man stayed by the bedside every day, taking care of her undressed.

And now, she and his position are reversed.

Ruan Mianmian: "Sansan, do you think this will be Mu Zhihan's revenge on me?" ”

No. 233: "You think too much, Mu Zhihan is no longer there." ”

Ruan Mianmian: "But I always feel as if he hasn't left, he seems to be by my side all the time......"

There are too many old injuries on Shangguan Zhen's body, and rheumatic pain is only the most insignificant one of them, and the doctors have tried their best to help him alleviate some of the pain and delay the frequency of recurrence of his old injuries.

The prince lost his temper.

He has always been a gentle and polite person, never loses his temper, no matter what situation he encounters, he will analyze calmly and calmly, and try his best to find a way to solve it.

But today he made an exception.

He scolded the doctors to the blood.

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground, their faces pale, and they did not dare to refute.

In the end, it was Ruan Mianmian who opened his mouth to relieve the siege for the imperial doctors.

"What is the condition of your father's body, your father and I know very well in our hearts, the imperial doctors have done their best, let them go."

The prince was still in a very bad mood, but in the face of seeing the queen mother, he still let go.

As if they had been pardoned, the doctors left in a hurry.

Ruan Mianmian held Shangguan Zhen's hand, her eyes looked at Shangguan Zhen, but the words were said to the three children.

"Your father and emperor have fought horses for half his life, and have endured many hardships, even if he later became the emperor, he has never lived a day in peace. Now that he is sick, you can let him rest well, let the prince deal with all the affairs of the court, and the third prince will assist him. ”

The prince looked at the face of the queen mother, and seemed to see a little of her thoughts, and he was uneasy: "Queen mother, you still have our three children, don't think about it." ”

"You have grown up, and there is still a long way to go in the future, I can't always be with you, you have to learn to face and bear it yourself. Don't blame me for being selfish, what I should have done for you has already been done for you, I don't ask you for anything in return, I just hope that you can be worthy of Your Majesty's hard work. ”

The prince wanted to say something, but Ruan Mianmian didn't give him this chance, she sighed lightly.

"Let's go, don't bother us if it's okay."

The three children had no choice but to silently withdraw from the dormitory.

Watching the door slowly close in front of him, the hearts of the three children were full of strong uneasiness.

They had a hunch that perhaps it would be the last time they would see their father and mother.

A month later.

Shangguan died of illness, and Ruan Mianmian walked with him.

The two of them were lying on the bed, Ruan Mianmian snuggled in Shangguan Zhen's arms, with a smile on her face, and walked very peacefully.

The prince and his younger siblings knelt in front of the bed, crying like rain.

They organized a very grand funeral for their father and queen mother, and the two were buried together in the same coffin.

Since Shangguan Jian ascended the throne and became emperor, there is only one queen in the harem, Ruan Mianmian, and no other concubines.

This pair of emperors and queens have each other from beginning to end.

The relationship between them is rumored to be a good story and is regarded as a symbol of the most perfect love.

The crown prince perfectly inherited the fine tradition of his father and queen mother, and after he ascended the throne, he only married one wife, and the two loved each other and worked hand in hand.

Under the rule of the crown prince, Nanchu became more and more powerful.

Every year, he would go to pay homage to his father and queen mother, and tell them that his son had lived up to their expectations.

I hope they rest in peace under the Nine Springs.
