Rebirth: You Save Me with Your Deep Love

Ji Xunyin looked towards a spacious courtyard in the southeast. It was his brother's courtyard, the "Waterside Garden". In the summer afternoons, he would always play the zither and brew tea in the shade of the terrace. Occasionally, he would teach him how to play chess, or the two brothers would always have a great time chatting...

The past cannot be retrieved, and he can only watch and miss his brother from outside the courtyard. After Yun Anwan became emperor, he sent people to restore the Ji family mansion, and then arranged for his confidants to guard outside the waterside garden day and night, not allowing anyone to go in to commemorate the old friend, not even his younger brother.

"Your Majesty, the letter from the Emperor of Jin has arrived." Inside the Dezheng Hall, a black-clad secret guard with a black scarf covering his face appeared, leaned to the ground, and presented a secret letter sealed with wax.

Yun Anwan added a few more strands of hair to the person in the painting with a fine brush in his hand, and then stopped writing, looked up at the secret guard, and asked: "Shanya, what do you think of the Emperor of Jin?"

Hearing this, Shanya's eyes tightened and he lowered his body, which was already kneeling on the ground, even lowered it even more. "I dare not." The secret guard is the shameful but sharpest knife in the master's hand. Even though he now has another special identity, he is still a secret guard in front of the empress and cannot have his own thoughts.

Realizing that he might have scared the leader of the royal secret guards, Yun Anwan's smile became more casual. He walked over the dragon table and came to Shanya. He took the letter from the other party and opened it to read without going to the imperial table.

Shanya raised her head slightly, and looked at the tassels hanging from the jade belt around the empress' waist from the corner of her eyes. She felt a little dazed. She was a secret guard and a killer. All she had to do and learn since she was a child was to kill people. But now... after staying with that person for a long time, she seemed to have forgotten the feeling of killing...

As far as I can remember, I have lived on an island. Life there is so monotonous and boring that there is only training, and then there is killing each other among companions. Only by killing others can I have a chance to survive...

Once upon a time, Shanya thought that the world was like this, and everyone’s life was like this. But later, after leaving the island, he realized that they were a very special part of the world. They had a unified name, called "Dark Guards". They were the descendants of criminals, and their only mission in this life was to obey the orders of the man on the throne.

He once obeyed Empress Wende, but later she died and was killed by her own daughter, so he obeyed the current Empress Wencheng.

It’s just… this empress seemed a little different from her mother. She seldom allowed herself to kill people, let alone issue such a special task.

Not knowing what Shanya was thinking, Yun Anwan read the letter and burned it on a candle. Then, with her hands behind her back, she looked at the sky outside the window and said softly, "Shanya, have you ever seen the lights of thousands of homes in the world? And the peach blossoms in April in the south, the lonely smoke in the desert in the north, the waves in the East China Sea, and the bright moon in the south reflecting the snow-capped mountains for thousands of miles?"

Shanya looked at the empress in confusion. She didn't know how to answer. Although the empress asked her, she didn't seem to want to give an answer. Empress Wencheng was different from her mother, Empress Wende. She had fought all the way to the throne, but she had never seen the same passionate pursuit of power in her eyes as Empress Wende.

She was more like a spectator who had never been into the play, watching the struggles and tribulations of the characters in the play with a sarcastic smile!

Yun Anwan wrote a receipt and gave it to Shanya, "Shanya, go back to Emperor Jin. From now on, you will be free."

"Your Majesty..." Shanya was so surprised that he could not hide his expression. He just stared blankly at the noble man in front of him. Freedom is something that many secret guards dream of until their death. But now, the empress said "You are free"?

"You are already the Empress of the Jin Emperor. From now on, just remember one thing: watch over the Jin Emperor and do not indiscriminately kill the people of Qi. This is also the last mission I give you."

"I obey my orders."

After Shanya left, Yun Anwan came to the table again and carefully traced the painting on the imperial table, with a smile as bright as the morning sun in her eyes. Sir, is my choice right?

The Jin Emperor is a man of both military and political skills, with a heart that loves his people and the virtue of governing a country. Handing over this country and its people to him is not a waste of the people of this dynasty. And... that silly girl didn't know that the businessman she accidentally saved was the Jin Emperor, nor did she know that the Jin Emperor had risked his life and sneaked into the Qi Kingdom three times to find her. Even after knowing her identity, he still had a warm and loving heart, and I think he would treat Shanya well in the future.

It's time to end this corrupt and dirty rule!

In the second year of the reign of Empress Wencheng, the Emperor of Jin personally led an army of 150,000 to invade the border of our dynasty. He defeated generals and captured passes along the way with great force. In just a few months, half of the country's territory had fallen into the hands of the Jin people.

The ministers were terrified and the people were worried. Several senior ministers petitioned the empress to lead the army in person to relieve the country's crisis. The empress granted their request, but unexpectedly, the next day, news came that the empress had suddenly fallen seriously ill. In the following days, she could not even attend the regular morning court.

The empress was ill, and the doctors in the Imperial Hospital had examined her. They said that she was overworked and needed to rest. Under normal circumstances, resting would be fine, but what was the situation now? Seeing that the Jin people were about to attack, how could the king of a country not come forward to take charge of the situation?

At this juncture, several court officials took the lead in discussing and asked the former Crown Princess and current Prince of Yanqing, Yun'anjun, to take charge of the situation. However, before they had time to mention it to the empress, news of Prince of Yanqing's death came. Afterwards, several people who mentioned the matter were successively imprisoned for various reasons, some died, and some were exiled.

This was too much of a coincidence, but no one dared to raise an objection. Anyone who had not lived long enough would not forget that the one who now sat on the throne was not someone who could be easily talked to. When she killed her mother and sister and seized the throne, she used powerful means and cruelty. Looking back at history, few emperors had such deep and far-sighted strategies and tactics as hers.

Those who were more well-informed knew that although Yun'an Jun was granted the title of King of Yanqing, she did not live like a king at all. To put it bluntly, the empress did not kill her just to torture her for a longer time.

Some people also wanted to unite with other royal sons and take this opportunity to depose Yun Anwan from the throne, but before they could do anything, they were all captured by the Royal Wind Flame Army, and then their entire families were confiscated. The ground at the guillotine at the east end of the street was dyed red for several days in a row.

After that, those who had originally had second thoughts and wanted to take this opportunity to support the new emperor and get the credit of following the dragon, also completely settled down. Even in her illness, Yun Anwan was still the empress who had snatched the country from Empress Wende and now held the power. In addition to the Imperial Wind Flame Army that directly obeyed her, there were many other forces, either openly or secretly.

However, we cannot have any other thoughts. We must think of a way to resolve the current crisis. We cannot just watch this beautiful country fall into the hands of the enemy.

The ministers had no choice but to run to the outside of the empress's bedroom, Qi Yang Hall, every day and submit memorials one after another. Some of them even had a hot temper and directly grabbed the imperial doctors and told them to make the empress recover as soon as possible so that she could attend court in time and resume government affairs.

It's a pity that while people outside were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Yun Anwan in the bedroom was leisurely learning housework. She ordered people to bring needlework and fabric, and then under the guidance of Mother Qin, she began to sew stitch by stitch.

The hands that were used to holding a knife or a pen were not used to the slippery needle and thread and brocade. Fortunately, Yun Anwan was not in a hurry and could learn slowly and eventually make a satisfactory piece of clothing.

"Do we really have to do this?" In front of the waterside garden at the Duke of Wei's mansion, Ji Xunyin looked at the empress who was wearing light winter clothes and had flower ornaments between her brows. There was a faint smile on her bright and charming face, and she did not look the least bit haggard from her illness.

"Yes, don't you think this capital city is too dirty? I want to bring some new vitality here." Yun Anyan gently stroked a double-petaled red plum. Hearing this, the smile in her eyes became brighter and more ostentatious.

"No need to change, you are the new life here." Ji Xunyin's eyebrows jumped, and his mind was full of thoughts. For a moment, he even forgot the honorific title.

"Me?" Yun Anwan seemed to have heard something particularly interesting, which made her smile continuously. However, there was a bit of sadness in her smile, which was really distressing. "I can't even find a new life for myself, so how can I give new life to others?"

"Brother, he wouldn't want to see you suffer like this." Knowing that he couldn't convince the person in front of him, Ji Xunyin suppressed the pain in his heart and took the initiative to mention his brother. If his brother knew that you were suffering like this, he would definitely be very sad.

"Mr...." The person who had always lived in her heart was suddenly mentioned by someone. Even though this person was Ji Xunyin, Yun Anwan still felt a boiling anger flash through her heart, and then she returned to her calmness. The expression between her eyebrows was visibly depressed. Turning her head to look at the bedroom where Mr. lived, Yun Anwan said softly: "I really miss him too much."

The person has passed away, but have you never thought of looking back at the person behind you? Even if you mistook me for him, I would be happy. Unfortunately, I didn't even have the chance to be a substitute.
