Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

"After all, I have my own wife, and you will have your own husband in the future. We are not siblings, and getting too close will be criticized and condemned by the world.

Rumors are scary. I might not be able to bear the pressure and distance myself from you. Then, Xiaoli, you'll be in even worse trouble. What will I do then?"

Ye Xiaoli felt Dongxu's words were irritating and said unhappily, "Why? When you get married in the future, I'll be nothing to you, right?"

Dongxu said sincerely, "Everything I say now will seem hypocritical, but if I marry someone else in the future, I will definitely be responsible for her. If there is a conflict between you, I will remain neutral. But she is my bedmate. I am in the deep palace and you are outside the palace. We won't see each other for hundreds of years. Over time, I can't guarantee that I won't change!"

Ye Xiaoli: "..." Although she was angry, what he said made so much sense that she was speechless.

Dongxu carefully observed Ye Xiaoli's expression and felt that the alarmist words were enough and it was time to show weakness and give the arrogant Xiaoli a way out.

"How about Xiaoli, just marry me. We grew up together and have never been apart for more than a month. Do you really feel comfortable leaving me alone in the palace?

I heard that the women in the palace appear to be gentle and kind on the surface, but are vicious and cruel in private. Aren’t you afraid that those pretty girls will eat me till nothing is left?

When I think of my future as a lonely man with no one to trust, I wish I had never left Taoyuan Village."

Although that was impossible, his luck was so great that no one could predict his future.

But what Ye Xiaoli needed at this moment was this kind of step.

"Also, speaking of Taoyuan Village, those villagers who came out with us are also our family. If you marry me, they will be your family. I can also support them in the future and fulfill the promise you made to them.

But if I marry someone else, we will have to avoid suspicion, and I will have to support the families of the women in my harem..."

"Tsk!" Ye Xiaoli couldn't help but interrupt Dongxu's long speech, saying irritably, "Why are you so annoying? If I marry you, I won't be free anymore. I'll have to compete with so many other women for their favors. I'd rather die than live that kind of life. Stop trying to persuade me!"

Dongxu's eyes sparkled: "Xiaoli, if you marry me, I promise that you will be the only one for me in this life.

Because by then, you will not only be my wife, but also the benefactor who raised me, my sister who I have depended on for more than ten years, and my closest relative. How could I possibly let another woman come between us and cause trouble for you? Wouldn't that be worse than an animal? "

When Ye Xiaoli heard this, he was really moved.

But she still said: "I want to think about it again."

Dongxu was a little unwilling to accept Ye Xiaoli's decision when he saw that she didn't agree directly, but he still had an understanding expression on his face: "Then Xiaoli, can you give me an answer tomorrow?

I'm afraid that if I delay for too long, my father will grant me a marriage with that Wang Luxiao. Even if I succeed in resisting the imperial decree, our marriage will be tainted by that imperial decree."

Ye Xiaoli nodded perfunctorily and left the palace with a heavy heart.

Then, on the way back to General Dingguo's Mansion, he was surrounded by a group of rats crossing the street.

There were hundreds of mice, each as big as a two-month-old kitten. They circled around the carriage that Ye Xiaoli was riding in, making "chirp, chirp" sounds. Ye Xiaoli only lifted the curtain and took a look, and didn't dare to look again.

Lanzhi and Lu'e were also frightened and hugged each other and trembled.

"Xiao Li, will the three of us be gnawed into a pile of bones by those rats? How could they be so wicked as to surround our carriage and ignore the other carriages and pedestrians on the street?"

However, the pedestrians had already been scared away, and the carriages also fled quickly, for fear of being targeted by the rats.

Ye Xiaoli took a deep breath and said to the driver outside who was bluffing with a whip, "Turn around and go back to the palace!"

"What, the third prince is going to marry his senior sister? Isn't it said that his senior sister is a village girl?" When the imperial decree of marriage came down, Gu Honglian and Wang Luxiao received the news and had this question at the same time.

Ye Xiaoli doesn't like socializing. After returning from her travels, she stays in General Dingguo's mansion every day. She doesn't attend any invitations to banquets. Everyone thinks she must be not presentable and dares not go out.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually issued an order to grant her a marriage with the invisible prince and the third prince.

I don’t know what the emperor is thinking.

In fact, the emperor didn't think about anything. He was just seriously ill and couldn't get up from the dragon bed.

At the beginning, Ni Fei made him inhale a lot of hallucinogenic gases in the name of cultivating immortality, which fooled him. After a few years, the accumulated toxins broke out at the same time, and he would not live long.

Moreover, because of hallucinations and a little madness, Dongxu, with the assistance of Ye Yuanying, Commander Ye, the Queen Mother and others, had already grasped most of the speaking power in the court and controlled the palace in his hands.

Wang Luxiao went to the palace to ask the queen for an explanation, but was dismissed by the queen with a few words.

Gu Honglian wanted to meet Ye Xiaoli, the woman who had snatched her position as the third prince's consort. She repeatedly sent invitations to Ye Xiaoli, inviting her to meet her.

Ye Xiaoli saw the post and then threw it away without paying any attention to her.

This caused Gu Honglian to become more jealous of Ye Xiaoli.

A few days after Dongxu and Ye Xiaoli got married, the emperor passed away. Concubine Chen loved him so much that she committed suicide with him on the same day.

During the mourning period, Dongxu and Ye Xiaoli knelt side by side in front of the coffin, while Li Chengjian and Gu Honglian knelt behind them. Among the ranks of officials, Ye Xiaoli saw several familiar faces.

She thought to herself that she had kept her promise.

Gu Honglian stared straight at Ye Xiaoli's back, as if she wanted to stare through her.

Ye Xiaoli rolled his eyes secretly and elbowed Dongxu.

Dongxu turned his head and stared at Li Chengjian with a cold look. Li Chengjian closed his eyes slightly, moved one hand slightly, climbed up from Gu Honglian's back, and pinched her neck.

The cold touch made Gu Honglian shrink subconsciously.

Only when she lowered her head and kowtowed did she get rid of the hand that had brought her pain in countless late nights.

I dare not look around anymore.

In front of them, in a coffin thickened with layers of paper, the emperor, who had regained consciousness, lay inside with his once most beloved concubine, Concubine Chen.

They both opened their eyes almost at the same time, neither in the mood to explore why the other was there.

They scratched the walls of the coffin weakly. In order to allow them to scratch for a while longer, Dongxu drilled many hidden small holes in the coffin.

In the end, their fingers were covered in blood and their nails were turned inside out, but they still couldn't scratch off a single piece of the coffin. They were completely desperate.

"It's all your fault!" The Emperor gasped. "It's all your fault for tricking me into nailing my own son to death in a coffin. He must have known the truth, so he's taking revenge on you and me."

Concubine Chen began to live in fear from the day Dongxu was announced to the world.

But Dongxu never did anything to her, so she was lucky and thought that Dongxu didn't know the truth.

Moreover, she thought that the emperor must be feeling guilty, and he would definitely investigate thoroughly and eliminate all hidden dangers before announcing Dongxu's identity.

But what she didn't know was that the emperor was in a daze all day long, with his mind full of meditation and cultivation to ascend to heaven. Several eunuchs who were close to him were brutally killed by him, and no one reminded him.

So he completely forgot about it.

But now nothing matters. They can never get out and can only be trapped to death in this expensive golden nanmu coffin.

All this is because of the sins they committed in the past, which are now coming back to bite them.

After thinking it through, she just felt that there was cause and effect in this world, and she couldn't help but start to laugh. Finally, her laughter became louder and louder. No sound could be heard outside, but the emperor was very anxious inside the coffin.

"Stop laughing!" he snapped.

"Hahaha, retribution, it's all retribution, hahahahaha..." Chen Fei laughed until tears came out. She knew that as long as she died, her son would be able to live on, living in ignorance.

She had no other desires and died without regrets.

"Hahaha……"

"I told you to stop laughing!" The emperor couldn't help but pinch her neck, hoping to stop her frightening laughter.

“Hahahaha…hahahaha…hahaha…”

Finally, Concubine Chen finally calmed down, completely calm in her life. The emperor shook her and said, "Hey, wake up, wake me up! Ah——"

Two months after Dongxu ascended the throne, in the Imperial Garden, he was peeling grapes for Ye Xiaoli when he suddenly asked her thoughtfully, "Sister, it seems like you haven't had bad luck in a long time?"

Ye Xiaoli's expression remained calm: "Oh, that's because I've been with you all this time. Your lucky aura has enveloped me."

Dongxu's eyes were full of meaning: "Is that so?"

Ye Xiaoli caressed his flat belly nonchalantly and said, "Yes, what else can I do?"

Dongxu nodded. Not long after he left, Ye Xiaoli stretched out her hand, and a small green snake wrapped itself neatly around her wrist. From a distance, it looked like a fine jade bracelet.

Dongxu walked towards the imperial study across half of the imperial garden, smiled and closed his eyes.

He was originally a cool and aloof CEO in the modern world, but he was accidentally involved in a car accident and traveled to this dynasty and was transformed into the body of a baby. Before he had the chance to get to know this world, he was nailed to death in a coffin.

The pain of gradually suffocating in the darkness was even greater than the pain of his death in his first life.

What made him even more miserable was that after his death, his soul was still trapped in that small coffin, unable to leave or move for decades. He almost went crazy.

After an unknown amount of time, his soul finally left the small coffin and he was ecstatic.

But then he entered the baby's body again, and was once again ordered by his father to be nailed to death in the coffin. His soul would be sealed in that dark little world again.

He seemed to be stuck in some strange loop and wondered if he was cursed!

He watched helplessly as the lid of his coffin was closed and heard someone nailing the coffin lid shut with hammers. He felt so desperate and didn't know when this cycle would end.

However, the next moment, he heard the sweet fragrance of flowers and the chirping of insects and birds. A delicate little face appeared above him, and a soft voice sounded like the sound of nature: "Hey, there's a child here!"

Finally unable to hold it back any longer, the soul of a devastated adult, using the body of a baby boy, opened his mouth and burst into tears.

Then, he was gently picked up by the little girl in front of him: "Be good~Sister will take you home."
