That day was the beginning of the new year. It snowed from the sky. Like a god, it transformed into countless dancing snowflakes. With elegant steps, it landed in a corner of the world. It was quiet.
In the bedchamber, Li Chen was lying on his side with his eyes closed. Eunuch Wei, who had originally gone to Honglan Temple to fetch the Crown Prince back to the palace, received news on his way back and immediately returned. He rushed in hurriedly and rushed out of the palace without even bowing." Emperor, bad news. Honglan Temple sent news that the Crown Prince…the Crown Prince has passed away."”
Hearing this, Li Chen felt like he had been struck by lightning. He instantly opened his eyes and looked at Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei had already put on a sad expression as he felt sorry for the Crown Prince.
Li Chen grabbed Eunuch Wei's collar and lifted him up. He glared at Eunuch Wei." Say another word and I will kill you."”
Eunuch Wei was so frightened by Li Chen that his feet were lifted off the ground. His old bones would be cut off sooner or later.
Li Chen's gaze suddenly froze. He released Eunuch Wei and placed him down heavily. Eunuch Wei fell to the ground, and the hat on his head was crooked. Li Chen seemed to be unable to support his body and was forced to support himself on the cabinet at the side. The feeling of not being able to breathe made his heart choke.
"Emperor, please calm down! This old servant will immediately go to Honglan Temple to confirm!" Eunuch Wei, who was still in shock, got up and forgot to put on his hat. He only said urgently to Li Chen and then quickly left the bedroom as if he was running for his life.
Li Chen touched his heart. It was actually hurting.
The entire Honglan Temple was covered in white snow. In the backyard of the temple stood a group of eunuchs, palace maids, soldiers in armor, as well as the masters and disciples of the temple. They stood motionless in the snow. Other than the masters and the others who kept chanting scriptures, the others lowered their heads and became snow sculptures with unknown thoughts. Because they had stood in the snow for too long, the snow was trying to bury them.
In the Southern Kingdom, this was a kind of etiquette, a kind of etiquette to bid farewell to people who were about to die.
The news that Honglan Temple had brought to Eunuch Wei was correct. The Crown Prince had passed away. Only Luo Xi knew when he had died.
It was still the largest meditation room in the palace. Crown Prince Li Zhan had always been recuperating in this meditation room.
Now that the door of the meditation room was open, regardless of the biting wind and snow, the intertwined snowflakes and wind drifted into his ears.
Li Zhan, dressed in a white robe, was lying quietly in Luo Xi's arms. His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was pale. Even the skin he touched was cold. He refused to believe that he was not breathing, and that his heart was not beating.
Luo Xi quietly accompanied him. Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were empty with obvious tear stains. It was as if her soul had been extracted from her body, leaving only her shell. She held a red plum between her fingers. It was dark red and unnatural like blood. He had given it to her. He wanted to put it in her hair, but he didn't have the time.
"If there's a next life, I'll marry you!" These were Li Zhan's words, a promise that was impossible to fulfill. It had been echoing in Luo Xi's ears since the beginning. Next life?？How long was it?
Could he not marry her in the next life, but in this life?
He could finally wait for her to put down her humble figure and walk towards him, but he pushed her away because he already knew that he could not live for long, so he did not want to delay her. When the Emperor gave them a marriage, he rejected it without thinking.
However, when had he ever asked her if she was willing?
Eunuch Wei rushed over at top speed. When he saw the array field in the courtyard and saw the Crown Prince lying motionless in Luo Xi's arms, Eunuch Wei was stunned. Then he fell to his knees in the snow and cried bitterly. His voice was no worse than Meng Jiangnu crying over the Great Wall.
Luo Xi slowly came back to her senses and looked at the plum blossom in her hand. A faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth. The plum blossom instantly turned red and was eye-catching.
The huge Honglan Temple instantly swayed as if the ground had collapsed. The people standing in the courtyard were forced to topple things and could not stand, as if the ground was about to crack. Before everyone could figure out the situation and feel dizzy, the meditation room in front of them where the crown prince was staying collapsed with a bang. The house collapsed, and a thick layer of white snow covered it and buried it. Everything happened too quickly without any warning. The people present were stunned and did not come back to their senses. When they came back to their senses, they were all frightened. The person in the collapsed house was the Crown Prince.
Another flurry of movements.
It was a good house, and it was row after row of houses. The crown prince's single meditation room had actually collapsed in the heavy snow. However, they seemed to have forgotten that Luo Xi was also inside.
Yi Shui and Ah Xiao had returned to the villa. Xiao Murong had also come. They all wanted to gather the atmosphere of a family and wanted to be lively. Yi Shui and Xiao Murong were chatting in the living room while Mu Zheng sat quietly beside a teacup, drinking hot tea and smiling at them. It was said that men would mature after marriage. At first glance, Yi Shui was no different.
Ah Xiao followed Qiuyue Niang in the kitchen to make rice cakes and glutinous rice balls. They were mainly food. Today, the manor master's wife personally cooked, so everyone was in luck.
"When do you plan to get one?" Qiuyue Niang suddenly asked, which stunned Ah Xiao. Then, his face immediately turned red." It's still early!”
"It's not early. I have to give birth to one quickly." Qiuyue Niang was experienced in this topic, unlike Ah Xiao who blushed when asked this question.
Cai 'er followed Ruyan to cut the window grilles. Ruyan didn't like to talk, and even rarely smiled. Cai' er felt that such a person must have many worries hidden in her heart.
"Why can Ruyan cut it so nicely?”Cai 'er asked, playing with the red paper in her hand.
"It was just a casual cut.”Ruyan said, a trace of sadness in her eyes, but Cai 'er couldn't see it.
"No, it's very nice." Cai 'er said with a smile, but Ruyan dodged her, instantly making Cai' er feel bored. What a boring person!
Cai 'er didn't know how to cut some window grilles, at most, she was just a hoodlum. In this quiet atmosphere, there was only the sound of paper cutting and the snow outside.
Cai 'er, who was propping up her chin, suddenly felt her heart thump, as if it was being torn apart, as if something was gnawing at her heart. Cai' er, whose face was pale and lips purple, covered her mouth in pain, cold sweat already covering her forehead. Just as Ruyan discovered her abnormal movements, Cai 'er fell to the ground in pain, curled up her body, and let out a painful groan. Ruyan was so frightened that she threw away the things in her hands and came to Cai' er's side. Before she could touch Cai 'er's body, A burst of cold air from Cai 'er's body violently pushed Ruyan several meters away, as if she didn't want anyone to touch her.
On the other side, Mu Zheng was still trying to mediate the small quarrel between Yi Shui and Xiao Murong, when he suddenly sensed something. The first thing he thought of was Cai 'er, and without saying a word, he flew out of the hall towards Cai' er's room.
"What happened to Big Brother?" Yi Shui looked at Mu Zheng's disappearing figure and couldn't help but stop bickering with Xiao Murong.
"How would I know? Let's follow and take a look.”Xiao Murong said.
