The voice choked up a little again, Cai He paused, the breath around him was a lot more gloomy, and a thick sense of grief surged out, making Xu Sleeve Yan on his side couldn't help but grieve a lot.

"But"

"However, when everyone was infected with the epidemic, when everyone unfortunately died, when the whole village became a pile of dead people, and when he was picking lotus, he still didn't wait until he was infected with the epidemic."

"Later, Lord Wei Huai, who became famous in the imperial capital, came there and was very surprised to see that there was a living person in the village, so he used medicine on the lotus and did a careful study."

"After that, Lord Wei Huai discovered that there was a very special spiritual vein in Caihe's body, which was not affected by any epidemic."

"Lord Wei Huai asked Caihe if he would like to give him this special spiritual vein, and he would take it to study it well and develop a solution to the epidemic, so as to benefit the people in the future."

"Caihe didn't have any thoughts of life at that time, and he didn't have any thoughts about the whole life, and he only wanted to go to the underworld to accompany Grandma, so he agreed to Lord Wei Huai and gave him his spiritual vein."

"He also obeyed the agreement and buried everyone in the village with a grand funeral."

"After Lord Wei Huai left, Caihe cleaned up the house where he used to live with Grandma, and planned to commit suicide to accompany Grandma."

"However, Caihe was suddenly secretly knocked unconscious, sold to the palace of the Eastern Dynasty, and became a small palace maid."

"Caihe has no training, he doesn't know anything about things in the palace, and at the beginning, he always makes the steward angry and is always punished."

"At that time, Caihe remembered that there was a little palace maid, and her name was Xiaolian."

"Xiaolian is two years older than Caihe, she has always taken good care of Caihe, and she is always punished for picking lotus, but Xiaolian has never blamed Caihe."

"I remember that time"

After a pause, Caihe's eyebrows trembled slightly, his face showed an unknown look of joy and sorrow, and his voice was a little lower.

"Once, Caihe was sick, but he was still sent by the steward to send something to Concubine Yao, and when he was halfway through, Caihe was not feeling well and almost fainted, so Xiaolian sent Caihe back, and went to Concubine Yao's palace instead of Caihe."

"As a result, as soon as Xiaolian went, she would"

"And never came back"

As he spoke, Caihe's voice choked up a little, with a little sadness.

"I heard that the things that time should have been sent by the steward, but Concubine Yao was not in a very good mood at the time, she always lost her temper with her subordinates, and often punished the palace people, so the steward pushed it on Caihe."

"Niangniang"

With his head moving, Caihe leaned into Xu Sleeve Yan's arms, as if he had received some kind of fright, and his voice was obviously crying.

"Xiaolian Xiaolian died for lotus picking"

"If Cai He fights a little bit that day and sends things over by himself, Xiaolian Xiaolian will not die"

"Obviously, the next day, it is Xiaolian's birthday, Caihe also said that he wants to give Xiaolian a birthday gift and accompany her to celebrate her birthday."

"It's all my fault, it's useless."

"It was Caihe who killed Xiaolian."

With a deep sigh, Xu Sleeve Yan's voice softened a lot, and with a gentle spiritual power in his palm, he patted it lightly on Caihe's back, and coaxed gently.

"Caihe, it's not your fault."

"The palace is a very dangerous place, and it's not your fault."

The little hand was clenched tightly, his breathing was a little short, and Caihe was panting with difficulty, but he tried his best to suppress the blood gushing up in his throat, so that Xu Sleeve Yan on his side would not notice his abnormality.

"Mother."

"Caihe remembered that when the mother came to the steward to choose the palace maid, she saw that Caihe's hand was injured, and she ordered someone to give Caihe medicine, and told Caihe to rest well, take care of her body, and take good care of herself."

"After that, Caihe went to the Niangniang Palace."

"Niangniang is very good, she never beats and scolds the palace people, and the whole palace is like a family."

Blinking his eyes vigorously, Caihe forced back the tears at the bottom of his eyes, and his voice softened a little, with a faint smile.

"It is an honor to be able to serve the mother"

"It's just that it's useless to pick lotus, you can't help Niangniang gain a foothold in the harem, you can't let Niangniang live a life without worries, and you can't let the little princess grow up carefree"

"Niangniang, it's useless to pick lotus."

"Picking lotus."

Xu Sleeve Yan hugged Caihe's thin body tightly, constantly comforting the woman, her eyes were red, faintly, flashing with tears.

"Caihe, I'm sorry for you."

"It's me who has burdened you, made you work so hard, and got involved in so many rights and wrongs."

"Mother."

A low voice sounded in his ears, Xu Sleeve Yan lowered his head slightly, and looked at Caihe in his arms with self-reproach and guilt, but saw her showing a shallow and bright smile to herself, with undisguised satisfaction, without the slightest remorse.

"Niangniang, being able to accompany Niangniang is a blessing for several generations."

"Niangniang, Caihe has no relatives since she was a child, and then she only has one relative, but after coming to Niangniang's palace, Niangniang gave me a feeling of home."

"Caihe has always regarded the mother and the little princess as his relatives, as well as those sisters in the former Niangniang Palace, they are all Caihe's relatives."

"But they're all gone."

"Only Caihe is left to accompany the mother."

Lowering his eyebrows slightly, Caihe took a deep breath, breathing heavily as he spoke, looking quite difficult.

"Niangniang, picking lotus today"

After a pause, Cai He raised his head hard, and a pair of eyes that were gradually fading tried to widen, as if he wanted to see the scene in front of him, and his expression was bright and extinguished, with a bit of a taste of decay.

"Caihe, today, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck."

"Niangniang, Caihe can't go down with Niangniang and the little princess."

"In the future, Niangniang, you have to live well, live happily, don't care too much, just live for yourself."

"Niangniang, Lotus Picking"

After a pause, Caihe straightened up slightly, breathless, gasping for breath with difficulty, his eyes were a little scattered, and his voice was fluttering, with a bit of illusory feeling.

"I can't bear to pick a lotus."

"Caihe is reluctant to give up the little princess."

"I'm really reluctant, I'm reluctant."

"Niangniang and the little princess are the only two remaining relatives of Caihe."

Suddenly, Caihe's breath stagnated suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his head, coughed violently a few times, and red blood splattered out.

"Pick the lotus!"
