After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yujing slowly opened his eyes, his head covered with cold sweat.

Eunuch Wu stood beside the bed worriedly.

I don’t know how many times Your Majesty has been trapped in a nightmare and unable to extricate himself.

Xiao Yujing stared at the bed curtain above his head, lost in thought.

He just dreamed of pears again.

I dreamed that she was kneeling in the snow, crying and calling his name.

Ah Jing... Ah Jing...

Thinking of the cold scene in the dream, Xiao Yujing couldn't help but shudder.

Li'er...when can he go find her?

Xiao Yujing remained silent.

A burst of fragrance hit him, and he sat up and looked at the blooming pear tree outside the window.

This was the day after he thought of Li'er, and he ordered people to plant it outside the window of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

After three full years, the pear tree finally bloomed.

Ever since Murong Xiao left, he was the only one in this world who still remembered that beautiful woman.

During countless long and difficult dark nights, he relied on the memories of their past to hold on and not collapse.

But every time he recalled the past, it was like a knife cutting his heart.

Xiao Yujing raised his hand to hold his forehead, having a headache as he had just woken up from a dream.

Eunuch Wu hurried forward and started massaging him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that burning incense at Xiangyun Temple is very effective. How about I arrange it for you?"

Eunuch Wu knew that His Majesty had an inner demon.

Whenever he had a nightmare, he would always shout "Li'er, Li'er".

Eunuch Wu has been with His Majesty for many years and claims to be the person who knows His Majesty best, but he doesn't know when His Majesty met a person named Li'er and planted a pear tree outside the window.

Xiao Yujing shook his head, "No need."

He knew that Eunuch Wu was worried about his health, but he did it voluntarily.

All the memories about Li'er are extremely precious to him, and he can only rely on recalling them over and over again to remind himself not to forget.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Eunuch Wu gave up.

At noon, Xiao Yuyao and Zhang Huaiyun brought their two-year-old son into the palace.

Although Xiao Yuyao was married to Zhang Huaiyun, she would always bring her child into the palace from time to time. Apart from visiting Concubine Rou, the place she went to most frequently was the Yangxin Palace.

The reason was simple: she always felt that her brother had changed a lot after becoming the emperor.

More withdrawn, lonelier, and more…unhappy than before.

Over the years, she had never seen any woman around her brother, and she was really worried that something might happen to him.

The two-year-old boy was at a noisy age. He was restless sitting in Xiao Yujing's arms and reached out to pull his collar.

Zhang Huaiyun was frightened and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Luo, come down quickly."

Xiao Yujing's voice became much softer, "It's okay."

Seeing that her brother finally had a bit of humanity on his face, Xiao Yuyao sighed silently in her heart.

If you like children, it means that you can still be saved.

With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Yuyao thought of a solution.

"Brother, I heard that the gods and Buddhas in Xiangyun Temple are very powerful. Anything you pray for will come true, especially marriage."

Xiao Yujing was slightly stunned.

This was the second time someone mentioned Xiangyun Temple to him today.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Yuyao's words were simply a way for him to establish a queen, even though he had already issued an edict that he would never establish a queen again.

Although he will never be able to have a queen in this lifetime, but... praying for a marriage partner at Xiangyun Temple?

Could he then pray that he and Li'er could continue their relationship in the next life?

Xiao Yuyao felt relieved when she saw that his expression seemed to relax.

It seems that my brother still wants to start a family.

After the court session the next day, Xiao Yujing changed into casual clothes and went up Xiangyun Mountain accompanied by Eunuch Wu.

After getting off the carriage, a novice monk came out.

"Your Excellency has arrived. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

Xiao Yujing frowned slightly.

"you know me?"

The monk smiled faintly, "Your Excellency is surrounded by dragon energy, this is the appearance of an emperor."

Xiao Yujing said no more and followed the monk into the temple.

The novice monk handed over the incense respectfully.

Xiao Yujing took it and prepared to light the incense.

But after lighting them for a long time, the three incense sticks in his hand showed no signs of burning.

Xiao Yujing was stunned.

What's happening here?

Xiao Yujing suspected that there was something wrong with the incense, so he replaced it with three new ones.

Still can't ignite.

The novice monk was also surprised.

"Sir, you are the second person in this temple who cannot light incense..."

This is not a coincidence?

Xiao Yujing frowned, "Is there anyone else who can't light it?"

The novice monk nodded and said, "Four years ago, a female donor had the same situation."

Eunuch Wu was a little angry, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the incense in your temple?"

His Majesty finally got out of the palace, but he encountered such a situation.

"Wu Yu, don't be rude." Xiao Yujing scolded lightly.

If the incense does not burn, it means that what you are asking for will not be achieved.

Could it be that he and Li'er...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yujing felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Amitabha."

An old voice came from behind.

Xiao Yujing turned around with a pale face.

Abbot Huixuan walked over slowly.

"Amitabha."

"My dear, do your best in everything you do, and the outcome will be determined by God."

Xiao Yujing spoke obscurely, "What if I insist on going against the will of heaven?"

Abbot Huixuan smiled calmly.

"How could you have known that the result might not be what you wanted..."

After saying this, Abbot Huixuan said "Amitabha" again and turned and left.

Xiao Yujing clenched his hands tightly at his sides.

No matter what God's will is, he must be with Li'er!

Seven years passed quickly, and Xiao Yujing's health was getting worse and worse.

On this day, Zhang Huaiyun finished reporting on state affairs in the Yangxin Palace and waited for the emperor to speak.

Xiao Yujing was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke:

"Master Zhang, have you...ever forgotten anyone?"

Zhang Huaiyun was stunned, not knowing why the emperor would ask such a question.

"Your Majesty, I have never forgotten anyone."

Xiao Yujing curled her lips slightly.

No, you forgot, you just didn't know it.

"What will you do if one day you forget Yuyao?"

Forgot...Princess?

Zhang Huaiyun was very puzzled, there was no such possibility in his life.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yujing knew that he couldn't say anything, and was about to let him go, when Zhang Huaiyun spoke:

"If...if one day I forget Her Royal Highness, I will definitely want to get to know her again."

Xiao Yujing smiled and did not comment.

"Go down."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After Zhang Huaiyun left, Xiao Yujing leaned weakly on the dragon throne.

Eunuch Wu brought a bowl of ginseng soup with concern.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to work so hard..."

The little prince is now successful in his studies, and the third prince is also able to assist in government affairs, so His Majesty no longer needs to worry about many things.

But he really didn't understand why the emperor was so diligent, so diligent that he didn't even care about his own dragon body.

After Xiao Yujing drank the ginseng soup, he suddenly felt an itchy sensation in his throat and couldn't help coughing violently.

Eunuch Wu quickly patted him on the back to help him calm down.

Xiao Yujing waved his hand and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"What day is today?"

"Your Majesty, today is the tenth day of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is in five days," Eunuch Wu replied.

Mid-Autumn Festival...

That year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she also gave him mooncakes. What did they taste like?

Yes, it’s salty.

She's a little fool...

Xiao Yujing tried hard to recall all the details of their past time together.

His memory has become worse in the past two years and he can no longer remember many details.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little annoyed.

If he met her in her world, would she be angry if he couldn't remember these things?

But it was too painful for him to keep these memories alone for so many years. She should be able to forgive him...

A gust of wind blew, and the pear tree outside the window rustled.

The pear blossoms, which bloom luxuriantly every year, did not bloom this year, which is rare.

"Make arrangements. I will go to Xiangyun Temple tomorrow."

Eunuch Wu was startled, "Your Majesty, your health..."

"It's okay." Xiao Yujing waved his hand, "I know my own body well."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wu stopped trying to persuade her and went to worry about making arrangements to leave the palace tomorrow.

On the second day, Xiao Yujing went to Xiangyun Mountain early in the morning.

Eunuch Wu was old and had difficulty walking, so another young eunuch accompanied him up the mountain.

The person who greeted them was still the novice monk from before, but seven years had passed and he had become much more mature and stable.

"Noble." The novice monk clasped his hands together.

Xiao Yujing nodded and was supported by the young eunuch into the temple.

Xiao Yujing took the incense with trembling hands, feeling a little nervous.

I don't know if the same situation as last time will happen again...

"puff--"

As the flames started to burn, Xiao Yujing finally felt relieved.

The Buddha finally heard his prayers...

Silently reciting his wish in his heart, Xiao Yujing burned incense devoutly.

As he was about to leave, he looked at the novice monk beside him.

"How is Abbot Huixuan these days?"

When the monk heard this, a trace of pain flashed across his face.

"The abbot...passed away three months ago."

Xiao Yujing was stunned.

The novice monk took out a sachet from his sleeve.

"The abbot said that if you can light the incense one day, he will give you this sachet."

Xiao Yujing took the sachet and opened it, revealing a note inside.

There are only two short lines on it:

【The heart is in a false place, so it cannot stay in the human world. 】

Xiao Yujing was startled, then he put his hands together and bowed deeply.

"Amitabha......"

Time flies, and two months have passed in a flash.

Xiao Yujing was so weak that he could hardly get out of bed.

Now that Lu Jinzhou is assisting the little prince in the court, he can rest assured.

It was his birthday again, and due to health reasons, he only held a small family dinner in the palace today.

After the party, he leaned weakly on the bed.

The young eunuch helped him wash and brush his teeth, then left respectfully.

Lying quietly on the bed, he suddenly became extremely clear-headed, as if he had a last burst of consciousness, and every detail of his and her past flashed through his mind again and again.

At this moment he realized that it was time for him to leave.

He propped himself up tremblingly, took out the talisman that he had kept for many years, and slowly put it into his mouth.

It's been ten years.

He spent ten whole years alone.

Now, he can finally find her...

The corners of his lips raised, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the evening breeze rose.

The pear blossoms that had been silent for a long time suddenly bloomed in this bleak autumn day, and the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was surrounded by the rich fragrance of flowers.

Pear blossoms are in full bloom, filling the branches.

It is a farewell and also a rebirth.
