Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. Xie Yan abdicated and passed the throne to Crown Prince Xie Siheng. Then he and Yun Youran left the palace and started their new life.

After abdicating, Xie Yanci did not leave the capital, but chose to live with Yun Youran in one of her mountain villas.

This villa is located on the outskirts of Beijing. Although it is some distance away from the city, the environment is quiet and the air is fresh, just like a paradise.

The villa is very large. At a glance, you can see rolling hills and green trees.

Especially the mountain range behind the villa gives people a sense of grandeur.

The mountains are also planted with various fruit trees. When the flowers bloom, the mountains and fields are covered with flowers of various colors, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow. It is so beautiful that people are intoxicated.

Xie Yanci and Yun Youran lived an ordinary and free life here. Without the constraints and red tape of the palace, they could fully enjoy the gifts of nature.

Every morning, they would stroll together on the mountain trails, admiring the beautiful scenery and feeling the fresh air; in the afternoon, they would sit in the courtyard, sipping tea and talking about life; in the evening, they would appreciate the beauty of the sunset together and feel the passage of time.

Although this kind of life is ordinary, it is incomparable happiness for Xie Yanci and Yun Youran.

Happy times always pass by like a flash.

Before they knew it, Yun Youran was already sixty-six years old, and Xie Yanci had also entered the age of seventy-one.

Xie Yanci gazed at his still beautiful wife beside him, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although the years have left some traces on their faces, Yun Youran's beauty has not diminished at all, as if time has been particularly tolerant to her.

"Ran Ran, do you think there is an afterlife?" Xie Yanci suddenly asked, a hint of melancholy in his voice. "If there is an afterlife, will we meet again? Will we be husband and wife again?"

As he grew older, Xie Yanci's inner uneasiness became more and more intense.

He was afraid of the coming of death because it meant that everything would be reduced to ashes, and every bit of experience he and Yun Youran had together would turn into nothingness.

Whether it is their affection or love.

When Yun Youran heard Xie Yanci's question, she felt guilty.

Of course she knew that people have an afterlife, after all, she herself was a living example.

But she couldn't tell Xie Yanci this because she wasn't sure whether she would still love and be with him in her next life.

But no matter what, she couldn't let Xie Yanci know this, because she couldn't bear to hurt his fragile heart.

"Aci, we can't predict what will happen in the next life, but at least in this life we ​​have each other and are happy.

Why bother worrying about unknown and ambiguous things? It will only cause you more trouble.

Yun Youran spoke softly, her eyes falling gently and firmly on Xie Yanci, trying to comfort his uneasy heart with her words.

Although he said so, Xie Yanci seemed unable to let it go.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with deep worry and pain.

"But whenever I think about the fact that after I die, I will be separated from you and will never see you again, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife."

His voice trembled slightly, revealing fear and reluctance.

Xie Yanci held Yun Youran's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear from his side in the next moment.

His fingers were so strong that they almost pinched into her flesh, but Yun Youran did not pull her hand back. Instead, she gently covered the back of his hand with her other hand, giving him some warmth and comfort.

Yun Youran also felt reluctant and upset, but this was something that could not be changed.

She looked at Xie Yanci with heartache, reached out her hand and gently stroked his brow, trying to soothe the deep sorrow.

"Don't think about it, okay? Death is an inevitable law of life. No one can escape or change it.

Since we cannot change this fact, we can only face it and accept it calmly."

There was a sense of helplessness in her words, but more of an open-mindedness and relief.

"Besides, think about it, the fact that we were able to meet and become husband and wife in this life might be the blessing we accumulated in our previous life.

So, don’t be too sad, we should cherish every day, every month, and every year now.”

Looking at her distressed eyes, Xie Yanci suppressed his fear and calmed down, "Yeah. Ranran is right."

He said this, but he couldn't let it go in his heart.

He finally understood those who always wanted to live forever.

Now, he also wants to get those elixirs of immortality.

But he knew that if he really did that, it would be a waste of time and money, and Yun Youran would definitely not agree.

Even though I was afraid of death, that day would eventually come.

As if feeling that his life was entering the countdown, Xie Yanci has been particularly clinging to Yun Youran in recent months.

No matter day or night, he would stay by her side.

Yun Youran also knew Xie Yanci's situation, and she would agree to any request he made.

That day, after Xie Yanci had breakfast, he said with particular interest, "Ranran, the sun is shining brightly today, and the flowers on the back hill are in full bloom. Why don't we go out for a walk?"

When he got up today, he was in a particularly good spirit. Yun Youran knew that the day he was afraid of had arrived.

Yun Youran tried hard to calm the waves in her heart, suppressing the pain in her heart and preventing the tears from welling up in her eyes.

She knew that she couldn't cry at this time, and couldn't let Xie Yanci see that something was wrong with her.

"Okay." Yun Youran answered with a smile, her voice trembling slightly, but she still stood up quickly, stretched out her hand and held Xie Yanci's hand tightly.

The two of them snuggled up to each other and slowly walked in the sea of ​​flowers.

The breeze blows gently, and the sea of ​​flowers rises and falls like waves, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Before they knew it, they came under a peach tree that was blooming particularly luxuriantly.

This peach tree is like a huge flower umbrella, and its pink petals fall like snow, covering the ground with a thick flower carpet.

Xie Yanci's face was pale. He had done his best and could only accompany his wife here.

He stopped and said, "Ranran, let's rest here for a while."

Seeing his forehead covered with sweat, Yun Youran knew that he was at the end of his strength and was still holding on. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his forehead, and then the two of them sat down on the ground together.

Xie Yanci leaned gently against the tree trunk and gently embraced Yun Youran in his arms.

His eyes fell on her face, filled with endless tenderness and affection, a strong and passionate emotion that seemed to melt people.

Yun Youran put her arms around his waist, and the two of them snuggled together quietly, without words, only each other's breathing and heartbeats.

At this moment, Yun Youran suddenly felt as if she had lost the ability to speak.

No matter what I said, it seemed so pale and powerless.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Aci, perhaps death does not mean separation, but the beginning of the next life."

This sentence was both a comfort to him and a kind of expectation from her heart.

Although it was very uncomfortable, Xie Yanci still tried hard to say: "Ranran, if we both have an afterlife, you must remember to come find me."

"Okay, I promise you." Just like in this life, let me come to find you in person.

After receiving her reply, Xie Yanci raised the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

In a trance, many fragments suddenly flashed through my mind.

In every life, she would appear by his side.

It turns out that they really do have a next life.

Unfortunately, it is only at this moment in every life that he remembers their past.

However, he was satisfied.

Ranran, my wife, I will wait for you to find me in the next life.

Feeling his breathing stop, Yun Youran did not get hysterical or cry, but said in one direction: "Tell His Majesty to bury me with his grandfather."

I don’t know if they can meet again in the next life, but in this life, they want to live and die together.

After giving the instructions, Yun Youran also closed his eyes.

The Eleventh World Ends
