Chapter 735: Habaek’s “Bride”

Chapter 735: Habaek’s “Bride”

Xu was a typical lady from a wealthy family.

She had been well-behaved since childhood. Because of her good family background, she was favored by the late queen after she came of age and was betrothed to the prince as his wife.

At that time, Xu was also full of hope for her future.

Even though she knew that her future husband would have harems and concubines, she didn't think it was a bad thing.

After all, she had met the prince once when she entered the palace to pay homage to the queen at a young age, and she had been admiring her future husband since then.

Later, I finally got married and my wish came true.

The prince was busy with government affairs and did not have much time left for the harem.

But every time I come back, I always make a special trip to see her, and sometimes I even say a few caring and thoughtful words.

For Xu, this was enough.

If it always remains like this, she will feel that God is kind to her.

But accidents always come so quickly.

After the death of the late queen, Emperor Yuanxu was depressed for a while.

At that time, Xu vaguely heard that Emperor Yuanxu did not like the three thousand beauties in the harem, but she did not take it too seriously.

Until one day later, when the prince had not returned from a trip, she looked at the misty rain outside and thought the scenery was beautiful, so she took an umbrella and went out for a walk, admiring the rain hitting the peach blossoms.

In the smoky peach forest, he met Emperor Yuanxu head-on.

Seeing Emperor Yuanxu's astonished expression, Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Later on, everything is determined by fate and has no control over us.

She had no say in her own affairs, and even the crown prince had no choice but to allow her to be carried in a sedan chair from the East Palace to Emperor Yuanxu's harem.

Her identity and title also changed from a legitimate princess consort to a woman who could not be seen in public among the three palaces and six courtyards.

Xu felt like the sky was falling.

Even though she had been honored with every possible honor, even though she was now a high and mighty imperial concubine, she still felt terrified.

I woke up from a dream at midnight, and my pillow was wet with tears.

I always feel like everyone is poking at my spine.

But if you think about it carefully, what does all this have to do with her?

Xu stood alone in the cold wind for a very long time, so long that her whole body was frozen and even her fingers were stiff.

Finally, he remembered the mysterious girl who appeared in front of him late at night.

I thought of the prince's attitude just now.

His former husband, his god.

But everything is in the past. Even if Emperor Yuanxu never wakes up, there is no possibility for her and the prince to be together.

Xu slowly clenched her fists, her eyes flashed, and for the first time, a look of determination appeared in her watery eyes.

Emperor Yuanxu was in a coma.

The rumor gradually spread from the palace to outside.

Many people even thought that Emperor Yuanxu was obsessed with the imperial concubine, who was once the crown princess. Now he was indulging himself in excessive sexual activities and fainted in Changyang Palace.

Outsiders knew nothing and, as before, blamed everything on the innocent woman. They were accustomed to the foolish and absurd Emperor Yuanxu.

Shi Li felt that this was the most ridiculous thing in this era.

But she was also worried that something might happen to Xu.

When it got dark, he sneaked into the palace again.

The difference was that this time Ling Heng followed her openly.

He stopped only outside the palace gate.

"I'll wait for you here."

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Shi Li was reluctant to let the innocent little Taoist priest stand here, so he decided to end the battle quickly.

Changyang Palace, which Shi Li had been to several times, was like home.

She soon arrived at the door of Xu's bedroom and knocked again.

This time, Xu opened the door incredibly quickly.

As soon as the door opened, Shi Li met Xu's pale and resolute face, and knew that she had already broken off the relationship in her heart.

Without waiting for Shi Li to speak, Xu knelt down and bowed to her.

He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for blessing me, Immortal. Please take me away from this palace forever. I am willing to shave my head and become a monk, never to be tainted by the mundane world again."

"Actually, you... don't have to do this."

Shi Li didn't expect that she would be so resolute.

He sighed and advised reluctantly, "I can take you to a place where no one knows you and no one can find you, and you can start a new life."

Who knew that Xu would firmly shake her head and refuse.

"Now I just want to stay away from the hustle and bustle, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures from now on to cleanse myself of all the filth."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shi Li no longer forced her, nodded to her, and said, "Please wait patiently for a day, and I will take you away after I have arranged everything."

Although she could take the person away directly, the power of a demigod could not be used in this way.

Xu did not rush him, but nodded seriously and thanked Shi Li again solemnly.

Looking at her frail figure, Shi Li thought of the prince she had seen during the day, and couldn't help but wonder, "Then you and the prince..."

Xu smiled sadly, "We are not destined to be together in this life, but if there is an afterlife, I want to marry him with a clear conscience and give birth to children for him."

This was the lifelong obsession of ancient women.

Shi Li didn't want to comment, she just felt it was a pity for her.

Emperor Yuanxu woke up the next day after being in a coma, but he was unable to get up and could only lie in bed.

Anyone could see that he didn't have much time left.

Perhaps at this time some of the chaotic thoughts of people have become clear, and Emperor Yuanxu finally realized that the pursuit of immortality is a ridiculous thing.

He sent people to capture the two Taoists who deceived him, but he didn't expect that when he was unconscious, the two Taoists had realized that something was wrong and fled in a hurry. Now they are wanted.

Afterwards, Emperor Yuanxu called Xu to his side again with unyielding determination.
