Chapter 634 Big Brother, No More
In order to prevent Xier from making comments in later life, Ning Fengzhe secretly condoned the Liang Alliance to cause trouble, and the world fell into dire straits again.
Ning Fengzhe ordered the Supervisory Office to pretend that the Immortal Emperor had left him a plan before his death, so that they could wipe out the Fu Liang Alliance in one fell swoop.
If this is recorded in history, the Immortal Emperor Yunxi, with his heart set on the people, never forgot the safety of the world, which was a noble act.
The Immortal Emperor was elected by the people and was praised as a wise ruler. The country was named the Immortal Ming Dynasty.
Gu Xinran rescued his master and his group of people, and purchased various houses for them to settle down.
Time flies. Gu Xinran is twenty years old and ascends the throne. In gratitude to Ning Aiqing for her hard work and perseverance over the years, he honors her as the emperor and rules the country with her.
Knowing that Ning Fengzhe was about to return, Gu Xinran set up a small banquet and invited him to the palace for a chat.
Ning Fengzhe came with the tablet of the Immortal Emperor in his arms, intending to reunite with Xier.
Recognizing the tablet of the Empress Mother, Gu Xinran hurriedly became serious and stood up to pay his respects.
"Your son, Gu Xinran, respectfully wishes the Queen Mother the best of health."
Ning Fengzhe smiled kindly and helped her to stand up.
"Today is a family dinner, so we won't follow these rules. Please take a seat."
Gu Xinran was the same as before and smiled sweetly at him.
"Yes."
"Uncle, please take a seat first."
Ning Fengzhe's temples are gray, but his elegance remains. He carefully places Xier's tablet.
"You haven't called me uncle for many years. I almost forgot that we used to be uncle and nephew."
Gu Xinran lowered his head respectfully, supported his uncle with both hands, and sat down at the table.
"It's not that I'm unfilial, but because I'm in the position of an emperor, I don't recognize my uncle. Instead, as I grow older, I secretly understand my uncle's feelings."
Ning Fengzhe helped her sit beside him and picked up food for her attentively and considerately.
"Oh?"
"Tell me, what is your intention?"
Gu Xinran picked up the jade bowl, humbly accepted his care, took a sip of the dish, and then replied.
"You don't need to express your feelings."
"I only wish that I would allow my son and my ministers to call me Emperor Father."
The change in honorific title was sudden, and Ning Fengzhe was caught off guard, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Could it be that there is some misunderstanding?"
"You are not my child."
Gu Xinran looked at him solemnly, her eyes filled with tears and her smile warm.
"I know not."
"You also know that you and I are as close as father and daughter, no different from the closest relatives."
"I hope that in the next life, my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress, can have a happy marriage and have children of their own."
Ning Fengzhe was slightly surprised when he heard the key point.
"Afterlife?"
After thinking for a moment, he understood what she meant and laughed at himself.
"You expected me to leave."
"Ah."
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything I'm thinking from you."
Gu Xinran's eyes were determined and he raised his glass in toast.
"A small farewell banquet, a lasting farewell."
"Father Emperor, don't worry about us when you go."
Ning Fengzhe also raised his glass, and drank with her with a bit of reluctance to leave.
"With you here, I feel relieved."
Gu Xinran sincerely wishes.
"If there is an afterlife, I will be happy."
Ning Fengzhe smiled knowingly.
"I accept your good words."
He poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of "Xi'er", and at the same time, spoke with inspiration.
"Oh, if only Xi'er understood me half as well as you do, it would be great."
Gu Xinran has a charming demeanor and is as beautiful as the moon.
"She will understand after experiencing things in the future."
Ning Fengzhe looked at "Xier" with a sweet heart and eyes full of doting.
"You have been speaking like this since you were a child. There is little childishness in your voice. You speak like an elder."
"Although your appearance is similar to Xi'er, your tone of voice and temperament are very different."
"You don't know that from childhood to adulthood, her every smile, word and action are all like those of a child."
Gu Xinran said helplessly.
"How could I not know? Father Emperor has told you dozens of times about everything that happened to you since you were little. I can recite it by heart."
Ning Fengzhe glanced at her.
"Look at you, you think I'm nagging."
Thinking that this would be the last time they met, Gu Xinran controlled his temper and took the initiative to request.
"I won't interrupt you this time. Father Emperor, can you tell me again?"
Ning Fengzhe was flattered.
"You really won't interrupt?"
Gu Xinran's heart was reluctant to leave, like the gentle autumn rain.
"Ah."
Ning Fengzhe smiled contentedly and told everything he knew.
"My first meeting with Xi'er..."
The story ends and the night is deep.
Ning Fengzhe held Xier's tablet and came alone to the cold palace where Xier had been confined, Hanyang Palace.
He reached into his bosom, took out the Qin Ziyu gold hairpin that he had never been able to give away, and held it tightly in his hand.
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. Big brother is here to accompany you."
Ning Fengzhe took medicine and ended his life.
In this life, she and he died in Hanyang Palace in the same way.
Gu Xinran issued an imperial decree to bury the two together, honoring Ning Fengzhe as the emperor and posthumously naming him Shuo. In order to make up for the position of empress that his mother should have, he was given the posthumous title of Xian Emperor and the title of Empress Penglai.
After the funeral ceremony, Gu Xinran announced to the world that he had changed his surname to his mother's, Yun; and he offered sacrifices to the ancestral tablets for everyone from the Yun clan and the Fang clan.
It also stated that the master and others, who had kept their identities secret and lurked in the enemy's camp, had made meritorious contributions and were all rewarded with titles.
Recalling the sufferings of the past and thinking about the pain of the present.
Memories of Gao Nan, Gu Yuanqiong, Zhou Zixi and others did not appear in Ning Yunxi's mind.
He is the older brother and Ning Yunxi sees his decades of dedication clearly.
Ning Yunxi walked out of the North Hall of Di Sheng Palace step by step, feeling lost and desolate, and stopped beside Yan Yu.
"Brother, can you please do me a favor?"
Yan Yu didn't think much about it and responded quickly.
"it is good."
"Is there something missing from your space that you haven't had time to refresh? Tell me and I'll get it for you."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears, and her vision became blurred again.
"I can't carry him... Can you help me carry him to the carriage?"
After understanding what she meant, Yan Yu was in a trance. He couldn't believe it for a moment and asked optimistically.
"All first aid measures have been taken. Are we going to carry him back to recuperate now?"
"He...isn't seriously injured?"
Ning Yunxi looked lonely and unsteady on his feet.
"Big brother... no more."
The bad news came so suddenly that Yan Yu couldn't believe it.
"what?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were blank and she was crying.
"Just now, I saw a scene from my previous life."
"It turns out that he has never done anything to offend me. On the contrary, I have always doubted him."
"In this life and the past, I have failed him."
"I failed him."
"I blamed myself for insisting on recruiting him and keeping him by my side. It was me who caused his death. If he had not changed his mind and had assisted the emperor, he would not have died in misery."
"In my hands, he can't even save his life..."
Yan Yu patted her shoulder gently and comforted her.
"Don't be so pessimistic."
He refuted her remarks in a pointed and detailed manner.
"Why get bogged down in your thoughts? The one who hurt him wasn't you, but the emperor."
After he pointed it out, Ning Yunxi suddenly understood and her tears stopped for a while.
"It was indeed not me who did it."
"But why do I feel so guilty?"
Yan Yu's analysis was very insightful.
"You always care about your family. No matter what happens, you always take the responsibility on yourself."
"That's why I define you as a mental quagmire."
He suggested from the heart with a glimmer of hope.
"Don't be pessimistic. I'll go see Ning Aiqing, just in case there's still hope."
Ning Yunxi followed closely behind.
"I'll go as well."
Yan Yu replied.
"Well, let's go together."
