On the fourth day of the fifth month in the twelfth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi in 1674, it was Emperor Kangxi’s twentieth birthday, and the whole government and the public celebrated.

Ever since Wei Xiaobao assisted Kangxi in killing Oboi, defeating Wu Sangui, destroying the Dragon Sect, and driving away the Rakshasa demons... the internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty have been alleviated, and the emperor was in a very good mood.

But this morning, the Grand Council received a secret pigeon report from the former chief of the imperial guards, Duolong, saying that Wei Xiaobao had passed away.

After reading the memorial, Kangxi said to Suo Etu, the military minister standing beside him, "It's a pity that he died."

After saying this, he threw the memorial away and said to himself, "He was a dead man to begin with, but this time he is really dead. It's good that he is dead, and now everything is calm."

Soetu, who was standing by, was confused when he heard Kangxi's words. He pretended not to hear them, but he was muttering in his heart, who died!

"Your Majesty, the birthday banquet has been prepared, and all officials are here to welcome you," said An Gonggong, the eunuch who accompanied Kangxi.

"Oh, so soon, we are going to Changshou Palace"

"The Emperor is heading to the Changshou Palace," the eunuch in charge of the pass shouted along the way.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, palace music was playing and colorful flags were flying. The dragon chariot, surrounded by the royal guard of honor, moved towards the Changshou Palace.

At the birthday banquet, Kangxi held up a glass of wine and said to his ministers: "I am twenty years old this year and have been in power for six years. In the past six years, I have destroyed Oboi, pacified the three tribes, and driven out the Russians. The world is peaceful, the people are happy, and the Qing Dynasty is thriving. I would like to share the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty with you through this small glass of wine!"

"Dry"

"My emperor is mighty! His achievements surpass those of Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang."

The pleasant sound of "Bird's Raw Fish Soup" made Kangxi think of the eunuch's image.

Afterwards, without anyone noticing, Kangxi secretly threw a glass of wine on the ground and whispered, "Rest in peace!"

……

After the burial, the Tongchi Island was deserted and eerily quiet.

"My husband, I know you are a generous person and you can't live without money. You have to bribe the officials of the ghost palace over there. I will burn a lot of money for you, so that you can't spend it all..."

Shuang'er sat in front of the curtain, burning paper and talking to herself.

"cough……"

Suddenly, a cough was heard on this island, which was so quiet that even the sound of a hair falling could be heard!

Shuang'er was shocked. She knew she was the only living person on the island, so where did the cough come from? Did she hear it wrongly?

"I heard that when a person dies, he or she must return to the evil spirit. My husband, today is the day after your untimely death. Shuang'er is the only one left on this island. Shuang'er is timid. I'll burn some more money for you. Don't come and scare me!"

Shuang'er stared tremblingly at the entrance of the cave where Wei Xiaobao was buried, holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, not daring to breathe.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Another sound came, and this time Shuang'er was sure that the sound came from the cave where Xiaobao was buried. This time it was not a cough, but the sound of something hitting the wood.

Shuang'er was shocked. Is this the resurrection of Young Master Qisha?

Shuang'er was so frightened that her knees went weak and she fell to the ground, thinking to herself, "Shuang'er, don't be afraid, Shuang'er, don't be afraid, my husband is so good to me and will never hurt me..."

"Boom, boom, boom"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound coming from the cave became louder and louder, more and more urgent...

That's not right. Ghosts only come out in the middle of the night. It's broad daylight now. How could a ghost come back to life?

Shuang'er was confused, she drew out her sword and held it across her chest, then she bravely tiptoed towards the cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave was built with stones. Since there was no lime powder on Tongchi Island, the stones were not solid. The sound coming from the cave was stronger, and faint cries for help could be heard.

"Help! Is there anyone?"

……

Could it be that her husband is not dead? Shuang'er suddenly became excited and didn't care about ghosts or spirits or any other tricks.

Shuang'er is not that afraid of ghosts and gods, because before she followed her husband, she used to hang out with the ghostly Madam Zhuang. Compared with the haunted Madam Zhuang's, the scene in this cave is nothing.

Shuang'er believed that her husband was not dead and quickly moved the stones at the entrance of the cave.

Half an hour later, Shuang'er entered the cave, stood in front of Wei Xiaobao's coffin, lit the tinder, and excitedly supported the coffin lid that was still making a "dong dong" sound, and said excitedly:

"My husband, my husband, is that you?"

Shuang'er held the coffin lid with both hands, concentrated her energy, pushed hard, and shouted: "Open!"

With a "bang", the coffin lid fell to the ground, and the inside of the coffin was clearly visible.

"Ahem..." A loud sneeze was heard.

Wei Xiaobao placed his hands on the coffin and sat up.

He looked around and saw an oil lamp reflecting the face of a woman in ancient costume.

"Oh my god! It's haunted!" Wei Xiaobao screamed, then fell back with his head tilted back and fainted.

"Husband, husband..." Shuang'er quickly helped Wei Xiaobao up and shook Xiaobao's body vigorously.

After shaking for a while without any response, Shuang'er tried Xiaobao's nostrils with her hand and found that his breathing was even. She then took Xiaobao's right hand and felt his pulse. His heart pulse was normal, but his breathing was a little weak.

Shuang'er was overjoyed. Her husband was not dead but alive. She had to go back to the Wei Mansion immediately.

Shuang'er carried Wei Xiaobao on her back and returned to Wei's house from the cave.

Shuang'er boiled some hot water, gently washed Wei Xiaobao's body, fed him a lot of water, and let Xiaobao lie quietly on the bed.

Before she knew it, Shuang'er had fallen asleep beside the bed.

… …

Pain and headache. This was Wei Xiaobao’s first feeling when he woke up.

Where is this? I saw this antique super-large round bed, and there was a beautiful woman in ancient costume lying beside the bed...

Is this a filming?

That's not right. I was walking on the street in front of the school. How could I be here?

Let me think, the scene was in chaos and I was hit by a car...dead!

So where is this? Is it the underworld? But there is no mention of a place of tenderness in the palace of Hades?

Wei Xiaobao moved his fingers and pinched his thigh hard...

"It hurts." I feel it, but I'm not dead.

Wei Xiaobao wanted to sit up, but his whole body was too weak. He used all his strength to turn over and faced the antique Sleeping Beauty beside him.

Wei Xiaobao reached out and touched the beauty's forehead.

"Hot" does not mean dead.

This is strange, if he is not dead, then where is this?

At this time, the beauty next to him had woken up, opened her eyes wide and stared at Wei Xiaobao.

"Husband, wake up!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself on Wei Xiaobao and burst into tears...
