Chapter 876 Let’s choose a good day again.
Although she knew that Ada used his sword to personally end Mingzhu's life to reduce Mingzhu's pain, she couldn't help hating Ada!
Xiao Chen squatted beside her and kept comforting her, "Don't be afraid, these things don't exist in this life."
Xie Ying was choking with sobs and unable to speak. She was so heartbroken that she almost fainted.
I remembered her last words which seemed like she was mumbling to herself, or like what she said to Mingzhu: If there is really an afterlife, I will never fall in love with Qing Changan again!
I never thought that there really is an afterlife in this world!
In this life, although she had many ties with Qing Chang'an, she did not betray her previous life self and fall in love with Qing Chang'an blindly!
The numb Qing Chang'an finally came to his senses, took the talisman paper and drew his sword before rushing to Mengchun's yard.
When it comes to the matter of the marriage talisman, Meng Chun naturally denies it. However, Qing Changan, who finally realizes his mistake after losing it, is not so easy to fool!
It can even be said to be cruel and ruthless!
He tortured Mengchun for a day and a night.
Mengchun could not withstand the torture after all and finally confessed that she had gone to Laochen Mountain to ask for a marriage talisman from the old Taoist witch doctor.
After getting the answer, Qing Chang'an showed no mercy and directly pierced Meng Chun's throat with a sword!
Qing Chang'an doesn't believe in such evil magic!
However, he also felt that there might be something to this evil magic. Otherwise, why would he gradually abandon Aying and turn to like a maid like Mengchun?
Next, Qing Chang'an went to Laochen Mountain to find Taoist Chen and asked him to perform a ritual for Xie Ying in her previous life, asking her to forget her sorrow and only remember the sweet and happy times...
Qing Changan didn't know whether he felt guilty or remorseful, so he resigned from his post and followed Taoist Chen Laodao of Laochen Mountain to practice Taoism...
Seeing this, Xiao Chen finally understood, "It turns out that he learned Taoism from the Taoist priest in Lao Chenshan in his previous life."
Rong Xun nodded slightly, "We shouldn't dwell on the past anymore."
As he spoke, Rong Xun began to make hand seals and the surrounding environment began to mist until they woke up from the Tai Chi Bagua diagram in the Imperial Observatory.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Rong Xun saw the scene of Xiao Chen and Xie Ying snuggling together and slowly waking up.
He couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart. The Imperial Observatory carried too many memories for him, from past and present lives, with indescribable bitterness and sweetness.
"Thank you, Uncle Rong."
"Thank you, Master Rong."
The two juniors stood up and bowed to Rong Xun to express their gratitude.
Rong Xun waved his hand: Go, live your life.
Seeing that Xie Ying didn't look well, Xiao Chen helped her walk out. Perhaps, she was too sad in her dream.
After those two people left.
Rong Xun then covered his chest and frowned slightly. He took a short rest here before getting up.
After walking out of Xuanming Tower, I saw the gloomy face of old man Ding: He really doesn't care about his life and doesn't take his life seriously.
Rong Xun smiled bitterly, "I'm fine."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's okay. His hair is whiter than mine." Old Man Ding said with his hands behind his back.
"Where are Chen'er and Xie Ying?"
"Miss Xie Ying looks quite weak. Let Chen'er take her back to the Duke's Mansion first." said Old Man Ding.
Rong Xun walked down the stairs and walked side by side with him, "That's good."
Old Man Ding looked at Rong Xun, "Are you okay?"
Rong Xun looked at Old Man Ding, "Backlash and retribution don't mean that you will die immediately, but that you will never die."
Old man Ding laughed, he was saying that he had a long life!
"Yes, he is old and immortal, but with your body, if you get older, you will be sick and in pain. What will you do then?"
"We'll know what to do when the time comes." Rong Xun looked at Old Man Ding and said, "People who eat grains will get sick. I'm not the only one who acts against heaven. People who suffer the backlash will get sick."
Old Man Ding smiled, stroked his long gray beard and said, "You have a point."
At his age now, he is in good health, has no disease, and enjoys eating and drinking every day.
I hope Rong Xun can do the same at that time.
Seeing that Rong Xun was about to leave the Imperial Observatory, Old Man Ding asked, "Why don't you stay here for a few more days this time?"
"The Imperial Observatory has long been the domain of Chen'er and you."
"Your room has always been reserved."
Rong Xun nodded. He knew, but he had a rebellious mentality towards this place and didn't want to be here.
Old Man Ding could see that Rong Xun was not happy to stay in the Imperial Observatory. "Okay, come back to see me when you have time."
Rong Xun said, "I will invite you to visit my new house in a while." After saying this, he bowed to Old Man Ding and said goodbye, "Goodbye."
"Okay, take care." Old man Ding was somewhat relieved. The new house he mentioned proved that he was going to settle down in the capital.
In this way, he will not only go for a visit, he will also stay there for a while!
----
On the other side, after Xiao Chen sent Xie Ying back to the Duke's Mansion, they had dinner together there.
During the meal, Xie Ying picked up food for Xiao Chen several times. Her affectionate eyes almost melted Xiao Chen.
However, when he gently returned the gift, he did not quite understand Aying's expression.
Thinking of her previous life in the illusion, Aying was deeply hurt by Qing Chang'an. Perhaps she had not recovered yet and did not think much about it.
After the meal, the two of them walked around Duke Xie’s mansion twice.
Xie Ying asked Mingzhu to go to the moon cave gate and watch over it to prevent anyone else from coming in.
"Yes, Miss."
Mingzhu bowed in response and went towards the Moon Cave Gate, guarding there.
Xiao Chen asked, "Aying, you are..." Before he could finish his words, Xie Ying crawled into his arms and hugged him tightly.
He smiled and hugged the girl back, "It's okay. It's all over."
Xie Ying listened to the young man's strong heartbeat and tears fell from her eyes. She took a deep breath without making a sound and hugged Xiao Chen tighter. "My Lord, please postpone the wedding."
"what?"
"Let's choose a good date for our wedding."
Xiao Chen was a little flustered for a moment, "Why?"
"I, I just want to calm down." How could she be worthy of Xiao Chen?
That dream clearly told her that she and Qing Chang'an had not been able to give birth to a child in three or six years!
She can't give birth!
The royal family has few offspring, and she is unable to give birth. If Xiao Chen marries her, he may not take a concubine, but wouldn't he be without offspring?
Or if I were more generous and let him take a concubine, would he be willing?
If she is unwilling, she will feel like a sinner. If she is willing, after a long time, how would she know if it is any different from the miserable marriage with Qing Chang'an in her previous life?
She heard the young man's heartbeat quicken. After a long while, the young man said, "Then it will be after the beginning of spring next year, on March 3rd. It is a good time for spring to be warm and flowers to bloom, so that day will also be a good day."
"First, let the emperor know that we can cancel the wedding date after the beginning of winter. As for a good day for the wedding, we can pick a good day later. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
What does he think?
He felt it was not good. He wished he could marry her back to Prince Chen's Mansion tomorrow. Even the days after the beginning of winter seemed so long to him, not to mention the days after the beginning of spring. And Aying actually said that she would take her time to choose later.
In that previous life, it was not only Aying himself who was sad and upset. He was also disgusted by Qing Chang'an, and felt even more distressed about Aying's experience.
