Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

"What, Master, do you really have some little secret?" Su Yun raised her head and asked deliberately.

Rong Xun smiled and looked at her with a doting expression, saying, "No."

"No, that's for the best. If you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive you." She had agreed with Xiao Lusheng that she would keep a close eye on Rong Xun before returning to Cangyun Kingdom!

As she spoke, Su Yun pushed him away and pulled his hand, leading him into the house.

Rong Xun waved his hand, and the door closed automatically.

For Rong Xun, he really couldn't bear to leave everything here!

To be precise, it's because I can't bear to leave this place and everything about Yun'er!

After the two sat down...

Su Yun took out the Five Thunder Token and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to take this back?"

"I don't need it."

After thinking for a moment, Rong Xun said again, "You can give it to Chen'er then."

"If anyone's going to give it, it should be you who gives it to him personally." Su Yun wanted to return it to Rong Xun.

"I gave it to you because you thought it was pretty and fun. How come you're already tired of it after such a short time?"

“I—” Su Yun puffed out her cheeks, “I didn’t. I just think that this kind of thing is only useful in the hands of you Taoists.”

"Everything here is an illusion; it makes no difference whether you hold it or I do."

Su Yun was stunned; it was all an illusion.

So, was her relationship with Rong Xun just a dream?

Thinking of this, Su Yun frowned slightly.

"Why are you frowning like this at such a young age?" Rong Xun gently smoothed her furrowed brows and pinched her slightly chubby cheeks with a smile.

Su Yun looked at Rong Xun carefully.

Here, he appears much younger and more energetic than he was in Cangyun Kingdom.

And she herself looked just like a young girl, while Xiao Lusheng looked like he was in his twenties, full of vigor and ambition.

So, Brother Rong is right, everything here is an illusion, like a dream.

Su Yun took a deep breath and then said, "You still have to frown sometimes."

"Then remember to remind me when you see it," he said with a smile.

Su Yun nodded, then looked at Rong Xun. Everything here was fake, all fake—

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

Rong Xun handed her the Five Thunder Token, saying, "Remember what I said."

What did he say?

He said he would give this to Chen'er?

"Give it to him yourself," Su Yun said stubbornly, refusing to agree.

Rong Xun wasn't angry. He just smiled slightly and took her hand, saying, "Yun'er is stingy."

"Humph."

"It's because I'm stingy."

Su Yun looked up at him. His eyebrows and eyes, his every move, and their affection for each other over the past thousand years in Lingjing Mountain all made her happy. So, in dreams, people can't control the direction of their emotions, right?

She looked up and touched Rong Xun's chin. He took her hand and pressed it against his face. Their eyes met, tender and affectionate...

After leaving the observatory, Xie Yun Chu went to the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Xiao Yao was still studying late into the night in her study.

Seeing how diligent she was, even though she knew she might leave soon, she never slacked off in her official duties.

Steward Zhou brought over a bowl of white fungus porridge.

Xie Yun Chu shushed him, then took the white fungus porridge and brought it inside.

Xiao Yao looked up when she heard footsteps, and when she saw Xie Yun Chu, she smiled and said, "Yun Chu."

"Are you done?"

"Yes, I'm all done."

As they spoke, Xie Yun Chu had already arrived at Xiao Yao's desk.

He glanced to the side and saw that it was an imperial edict on the table.

He looked at the imperial edict, then at Xiao Yao, "What is this—"

"Didn't Uncle Rong say that after I leave, this place might still exist, or it might collapse? But if it does exist, it will definitely be in chaos after I leave."

Xie Yun Chu frowned, then looked at the imperial edict. "So, you write the decree of succession, to pass the throne to Jian Wu!"

"Ah."

"What if he wants to go back?"

Xiao Yao smiled slightly and looked at Xie Yun Chu, saying, "If you were him, would you go back?"

Xie Yunchu choked.

If he were Jianwu, he would make the same choice as Jianwu: he would not go back.

Upon returning to Cangyun Kingdom, A Yao will no longer allow Jian Wu to serve as her personal bodyguard.

Most importantly, Jian Wu died in Cangyun Kingdom, so if he goes back, he will die anyway.

Xie Yun Chu shook her head, "If I were him, I wouldn't go back."

Xiao Yao nodded, "That's what I think too."

Immediately, Xiao Yao stamped the imperial seal, blew on the still-wet ink, and then placed the imperial edict and the imperial seal aside.

She looked up and saw Xie Yun Chu seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? You went to find Jian Wu, but he refused to come to see me?" Xiao Yao asked.

Xie Yun Chu nodded, "Yes, he only said—"

"Just say what?"

"It's true that he coveted you and loved you. He's not innocent, and he deserves what he got."

Xie Yun Chu relayed what Jian Wu had said.

The air remained silent for a long time.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yao took Xie Yun Chu's arm and asked, "Yun Chu, tell me, is it wrong to love someone?"

"No."

There's nothing wrong with loving someone.

Xiao Yao couldn't say who was right and who was wrong between her and Jian Wu; perhaps, the one who was wrong was his background.

If he weren't Xiao Zhiyue and Li Juanling's son, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this illusion orchestrated by Chen Qingshan, and his true intentions would remain unknown.

And he will not die because of this.

Xie Yun Chu faced Xiao Yao, cupped her face in his hands, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Lips and teeth depend on each other, breathing entangled.

The two figures were stretched out long in the candlelight.

After a long while, Xie Yun Chu asked, "It's a pity that even Uncle Rong couldn't save him—"

"I know."

"Won't you feel guilty and upset?"

Xiao Yao took a deep breath. "I... I won't. All I can think about is how to improve the lives of ordinary people and how to get women out of their homes." She paused, then looked at Xie Yun Chu. "And you. My heart is only so big, and it can only hold you. There's no room for anyone else."

Xie Yunchu pulled Xiao Yao to sit down and then fed her some white fungus soup.

Xiao Yao enjoyed Xie Yun Chu's tenderness towards her, and when she looked at him, her eyes were filled with him.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Yao took the bowl of white fungus and fed Xie Yun Chu spoonful by spoonful.

Xie Yunchu was stunned for a moment, but looking at her gentle smile, she smiled and ate the white fungus soup that she was fed.

Demon world.

When Xiao Lusheng returned here, he summoned Elder Qi and Elder Lu to his side and said, "I am going into seclusion to cultivate. During this time, it may be a thousand years or ten thousand years. This Demon Realm cannot be without a ruler for even a day."

"What kind of fortunes have those young men you selected last time?"

Elder Qi and Elder Lu were taken aback. "Demon Lord, what do you mean by that? You are the Supreme Being of the Demon Realm."

"I am going into seclusion to cultivate. This Demon Realm must be handed over to you, to the next ruler to manage!"

"Then why not let the young master return?"

"Yun Chu is also going into seclusion to cultivate..."
