The Regent's Koi Princess

By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims

Zheng Shanmin has repeatedly massacred countless Western Zhou soldiers. He is now sentenced to hanging and will be beheaded in public at Xuanwu Gate three days later.

Thanks to the emperor's kindness, Zhaozhou Chenggui was appointed as the Left Censor, but he was ungrateful and joined forces with Zheng Shanmin to rebel and usurp the throne. Now, there is conclusive evidence and he will be sentenced to death and beheaded in the autumn.

His son Zhao Shizong was arrogant and conceited, and wanted to rebel against the government. Although he did not succeed, he joined forces with the Black Wind Hall to commit serious crimes many times. Now it has been found out that he has been sentenced to death by beheading, and he will be beheaded together with Zheng Shanmin in three days.

Lingyin Temple of Wumeng Mountain

In last night's dream, Lin Xi clearly saw the name of the temple where his parents often burned incense and worshipped Buddha.

In order to fulfill his wish, Jiang Che brought her here early in the morning to fulfill his wish.

Shadow, Fan Wenlan, Su Yizhou and the secret guards were left outside the temple.

This is an important Buddhist place, where swords, weapons and killing are not tolerated.

Inside Lingyin Temple, ancient trees stand tall, and amid the sounds of morning bells and evening drums, curls of incense smoke interweave with the mountain mist to form a hazy picture.

The morning sun shines through the dense clouds, dappling on the bluestone path. Each slab seems to carry a thousand-year-old story. Lin Xi and Jiang Che slowly walk into the temple, feeling both awe and anticipation.

Passing through the quiet corridor, they came to the main hall, where they saw a white-haired, kind-faced old man sitting in meditation on a cushion with his eyes closed. An otherworldly aura surrounded him. This man was Master Liaoyuan, who was also the abbot here.

Sensing someone coming in, the master slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was deep and warm, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of the human heart.

Lin Xi stepped forward lightly, put his hands together, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Master Liaoyuan, I am Lin Xi, your disciple, and I have come to seek the solution to the mystery of my past life's love. I hope that you will be merciful and guide me."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Master Le Yuan and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, as if she was about to open the most important page of her life.

The master smiled slightly and raised his hand gently, motioning her to follow him into the back hall, where the secrets of past and present lives would be revealed.

"Mr. Lin, please follow me in. I will tell you everything you want to know."

Jiang Che held Lin Xi's hand and nodded at her: "Let's go! Some things must be decided, otherwise you will always be uneasy."

"Um"

……

In the inner hall, there was a bronze mirror covered tightly with red cloth.

Master Liaoyuan looked at Lin Xi with a loving face and said, "Donor Lin, are you ready? Tell me when you have made up your mind, and I will open the door of time and space for you.

But once the door of time and space opens, it will be your final farewell to your loved ones over there.

Because in that world, your physical body is no longer there, Master Lin, do you understand?"

After Master Liaoyuan finished speaking, Lin Xi was stunned.

If her physical body is not there, it means she has died in that world, so...

Although she knew this was the outcome, her heart still ached. But she could not have her cake and eat it too, so she had to give up some things.

Lin Xi turned her head and looked at Jiang Che. Fortunately, there was still someone in this world who loved her deeply.

Then he took a deep breath, looked at Master Le Yuan and nodded: "Let's get started!"

Master Liaoyuan took off the red cloth, faced the bronze mirror, closed his eyes and muttered something.

He concentrated his inner strength in his right palm and struck the bronze mirror. In an instant, a vortex appeared on the bronze mirror, like a time tunnel. Soon, Lin Xi's modern relatives appeared in the mirror, praying for her soul in the temple.

Lin Xi suddenly knelt on the ground, looking at his father, mother, grandparents and brothers in the bronze mirror and burst into tears.

Lin Xi's tears rolled down on the bluestone slabs like pearls that had broken off a string. Her hands trembled, as if she wanted to penetrate the magical bronze mirror and embrace that distant yet familiar figure.

"Mom, Dad, and brothers, look up. Xi'er is right in front of you!"

She choked, her voice full of pleading and desire.

The images in the bronze mirror seemed to sense her call. The familiar faces gradually turned towards the mirror, with a hint of surprise and disbelief in their eyes.

The mother's eyes instantly turned red, and she gently stroked the mirror, as if she wanted to pass through this invisible barrier and touch her daughter's face.

"Xi'er... is that you? My dear daughter..."

Her voice was tearful, but full of tenderness and expectation.

"Xi'er, my baby, where are you? Are you doing well? Have you been wronged? Is there anyone taking good care of you?

Xier, please tell mom, please tell mom, okay?"

Lin Xi could no longer control her emotions. She looked at her mother in the bronze mirror and cried uncontrollably.

"Mom. Xier misses you guys so much! Xier wants to go home, misses mom, dad and brothers, woo woo! But, but what if Xier can't go back?"

After crying for a while, Lin Xi turned her head and looked at Master Yuan, knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "Master, I beg you to find a way for me to talk to my parents over there, okay?

I just want them to know that I am alive, just in another world, and I want them to live well and not worry or be sad.

Even if I can never go back, I want to tell them, please."

Master Liaoyuan nodded, picked up a piece of white rice paper and handed it to Lin Xi: "Write down what you want to say on the paper, and I will find a way to pass on your thoughts."

Lin Xi solemnly took the paper and placed it on the ground, then bit his index finger and squeezed out blood.

With trembling hands she wrote down everything that was in her heart.

"Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Brothers, Xier misses you so much, and Xier will always be by your side.

The reason why you can't see it is that Xier has gone to another world.

Xier has no other extravagant hopes, she just wants you all to be safe, happy, healthy and live a long life.

Mom and Dad, don’t worry about Xier, Xier is living well in another world.

I have good news for you! In this world, Xier met the man who doted on her.

He treats Xier very well, so, Mom and Dad, you can rest assured that Xier will always pray for you.

You must take good care of yourselves and don't let Xi'er worry."

Lin Xi cried as she wrote, and by the end, she had already collapsed in Jiang Che's arms.

Master Liaoyuan looked at her and asked with a smile: "Have you finished writing? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Lin Xi shook her head. What's the point in continuing to write? She just wanted to tell her parents that she was safe so that they wouldn't worry about her.

Master Liaoyuan picked up the rice paper that looked like it was written in blood, folded it in half and put it in his palm, using the same method again.

The gate of time and space opened, and the blood letter was sucked in.

On the other side of time and space, Mother Lin was kneeling. When she raised her head, a piece of white paper fell in front of her eyes. She opened it with trembling hands.

Only when they could see clearly what was written on the paper did Mother Lin cover her face and cry. Father, grandparents, and brothers all gathered around, and the whole family read the blood letter over and over again.

At the end, everyone had a relieved smile on their face. They waved towards the Gate of Time and Space, and finally left together, supporting each other.

Until their figures could no longer be seen, the door of time and space closed and the bronze mirror broke, Lin Xi's mouth curled up.

She finally fulfilled her wish, and finally let go of her obsession and her relatives in that world. She knew that they would live well, just like her.

Lin Xi stood up and bowed deeply to Master Liaoyuan: "Master Liaoyuan, thank you, thank you for helping me to break off my worldly ties. Lin Xi is grateful..."

Before she could finish the last word, Lin Xi fainted in Jiang Che's arms.

Seeing Lin Xi falling down, Jiang Che screamed in fear: "Xi'er..."

Master Liaoyuan stroked his silver-white beard, looked at Jiang Che and nodded: "She is too tired, just go back and have a good rest, go ahead."

Outside the temple, Jiang Che looked at Lin Xi who was sleeping soundly in his arms with a worried look on his face. Although Master Liaoyuan said that Xi'er was just too tired, he was still worried. He looked at Shadow and ordered: "Hurry to the palace and invite Doctor Sun back to the palace to wait. Let's go back."

"Yes"

Shadow took the order and mounted his horse and galloped away.

……

Regent's House

Outside the bedroom, Jiang Che paced back and forth anxiously. Doctor Sun had been in for a while and had not come out yet. He didn't know whether Xier was really okay.

Just as he was about to break in, the door opened and Doctor Sun walked out with a smile. He looked at Jiang Che and bowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The princess is fine. It's just that pregnant women are sleepy."

"What did you say? Xi'er..."

Pregnant?

Xier is pregnant?

Jiang Che couldn't believe it and asked again: "Doctor Sun means Xi'er is pregnant?"

Doctor Sun answered again respectfully: "Yes, the princess is pregnant, and she is pregnant with twins. Maybe because of her emotional fluctuations, she has been sleeping soundly.

After all, being pregnant with twins is more difficult than for ordinary people. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The princess is in good health. As for the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, I will not interfere. After all, the princess's medical skills are much better than yours.

You just need to take good care of your diet, because twins need more nutrition. I will write down the ingredients you need, and Your Majesty can prepare them accordingly."

"Okay, thank you Doctor Sun for your concern."

After saying that, the man walked quickly into the bedroom.

Looking at his little princess who was sleeping soundly, Jiang Che carefully tucked the quilt for her, raised his hand and lovingly stroked Lin Xi's pretty little face, with the corner of his mouth raised.

Ah!

You little thing, you will only be quiet when you fall asleep.

He murmured as if to promise: "Xi'er, in this world, I and my children will love you well from now on."
