Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Time flies and another month has passed.

Under Xiaoyao's strong governance, all restive forces were subdued. All casinos in Zhongyuan and Xiyan were demolished, and women working in dance halls who had been forced to leave were forced to be released and given respectable jobs. Human trafficking was rectified, prohibiting the sale of humans, gods, and demons. The Baili people were freed from slavery, and all those forcibly abducted were released, with the exception of those who volunteered to stay.

Anyway, Xiaoyao is always pestering Xiangyao for help, so busy... Being an emperor isn't bad at all, but when you're out in public, you still have to act cool... Well, I'm very fierce and domineering, so no one can do anything but listen to her. Anyone who doesn't obey will be beaten! I won't kill them, but I'll beat them up every day...

Xuan continued to dream about his past life. He watched Xiaoyao being taken away by Xiangliu, and watched Xiangliu use his life and thirty-seven years of blood to heal her wounds.

As a bystander, Xuanxuan witnessed firsthand how he had exploited and cruelly harmed Xiaoyao. He watched as Xiaoyao's smile grew thinner day by day. Every time she met him, she had to force a smile to comfort him about the so-called difficulties of her brother. What difficulties did he have? What was difficult for him besides marrying a woman he didn't like? Hadn't he already prepared for this step when he wanted to be emperor? Just because he liked Xiaoyao, could he do things to hurt her in the name of love? Compared to Xiangliu's selfless sacrifice, risking his life to save her, just hoping that Xiaoyao could live a happy and better life, he was a selfish bastard who didn't deserve to talk about love. And saying that I just like you is wrong? I'm wrong, of course I'm wrong!

That was the first time she begged him to spare Xiangliu's life.

But when he knew Xiaoyao loved Xiangliu, how could he possibly spare his life? Did Xiangliu have to die? Did the rebels have to kill them all? They had never come out to harm the people. They simply didn't want to forget their homeland. Like a child who loves their mother, they hid away in a stubborn and angry state, unwilling to forgive the villain who killed their mother. It was Xiyan who had been forcing them.

It was him who had been forcing her away from happiness.

Xiang Liu is dead, Xiao Yao is crazy, Tu Shan Jing is also crazy, what about him? What qualifications does he have to be crazy? He doesn't deserve it.

"Xiaoyao, if I knew this would be your final outcome, I would have killed myself."

Xuan looked at Xiaoyao who committed suicide in front of him with a broken heart. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed.

"Xiaoyao!".

Xuanxuan in the room suddenly sat up, his consciousness still in a dream, he was at a loss like a child who had lost everything.

Xiaoyao was dead, driven to death by him. Was he satisfied? Was he happy? Was the throne more important than Xiaoyao? Was it interesting to keep Xiaoyao tied to his side, letting her live like a puppet?

"Xuan, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"

Huangdi, who was weaving a winnowing basket, heard Xuanxuan's voice, put down the winnowing basket, pounded his aching lumbar spine, and slowly walked into the room.

Xuanxuan seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking at Huangdi blankly, with tears still wet in the corners of her eyes.

"Grandpa, Xiaoyao is dead. I forced her to death... Grandpa..."

"You had a nightmare, didn't you? It's okay, Xiaoyao is fine. She comes to see you every day."

Xiaoxuan didn't feel happy at all when she heard that. Even though he treated her like that, Xiaoyao still chose to forgive him.

"Did Xiaoyao ascend to the throne?"

"No," she said, "she wanted you to watch her take that seat."

"Okay, okay, I'll watch, I'll definitely be proud of her..."

Xuan looked at Huangdi with red eyes. The grandfather and grandson smiled with relief and clasped their hands tightly.

"Xuanxuan, Xiaoyao asked your concubines to choose again. Those who were willing to stay, and those who were not willing to leave, sent their divorce papers. From then on, they married and had nothing to do with each other. Only Tan Shuhui was willing to stay. She is very devoted to you. She comes every day to wipe your body and change your clothes. You must cherish her. They say that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away when disaster strikes. Her willingness to stay shows her sincerity."

"I understand. Xinyue..."

"Dead, Fenglong is also dead."

There was a long silence. After two lifetimes, he had a complicated relationship with Xinyue. When Xiaoyao was trapped in the whirlpool, helpless and hopeless, he really wanted to kill Xinyue. If it weren't for Xiangliu, Xiaoyao would have been shattered to pieces. But the source of all this was himself... Fenglong... He had never thought of taking his life...

"Where are they? I'll go see them."

……

He had thought he would be turned away, but unexpectedly, Madam Chishui personally welcomed him in. There was no trace of sadness on her face, and he didn't dare to ask.

Madam Chishui led Xuan to the depths of the plum forest, where two lonely graves stood together with a simple tombstone.

Xuan placed the tribute in silence, unsure what to say. In his previous life, Feng Long had died saving him. Actually, that didn't really count; Xiang Liu had always wanted to kill Feng Long. Xiang Liu had sacrificed his own life for Xiao Yao, while he, for Xiao Yao's sake, disregarded her. The difference in love was clear.

He was lucky that Xiaoyao was very powerful in this life, otherwise, if he gained power, the tragedy would be doomed to repeat itself.

"Madam, please accept my condolences. I'm very sorry. If you want to hate someone, just hate me, don't blame Xiaoyao."

"Black Emperor, don't blame yourself. Her Majesty is very good, and I am very grateful to her."

Xuanxuan was confused, and only after Madam Chishui explained it to him did he understand.

After bidding farewell to Lady Chishui, Xuan finally had the mood to observe the pedestrians on the street. No one had the worry of a defeated country on their face, and the people seemed to be unaffected by the change of king.

"Hey, have you heard? The princess wants to build schools throughout the Great Wilderness. Every child must attend for five years, and humans, gods, and demons will be treated equally."

"It must be very expensive. Even children from poor families can't afford it."

"It's not expensive. Those who are poor can apply and pay it back slowly when they grow up and earn money."

"I heard the new princess has announced a lot of new policies that will benefit us ordinary people. Go check them out! They're posted over there!"

"What a good emperor! I've heard from others that Hao Ling is governed very well by the princess."

……

Along the way, Xuanxuan heard nothing but praise for Xiaoyao. He was actually very happy and proud.

A month later, the Lord of the Great Wilderness, Princess Jiuyao, held a ceremony in Shennong Mountain with great fanfare, and people from all directions came to congratulate her.

Originally, Xiaoyao hadn't wanted to establish her capital in Shennong Mountain, but considering the predicament of the Chenrong Rebellion, she decided to have the rebels protect Shennong Mountain. With the utmost respect, Princess Jiuyao personally went to Qingshui Town to invite Hong Jiang out of the mountain. This dignified approach wasn't about persuading them to surrender, but rather inviting them to return and continue protecting Shennong Mountain. A peak on Shennong Mountain was designated for the Chenrong Rebellion, allowing Hong Jiang to continue leading the rebels. This army was specially organized, solely for the protection of Shennong Mountain, and could not be arbitrarily transferred. They were given the honorific title, "Guardian of Shennong," and enjoyed the highest honor.

Although many rebels were arranged to live outside, no one gave up the rebel army and chose a better life. They all returned to Qingshui Town in the end.

Hong Jiang agreed. Over the years, he'd finally come to terms with Xiaoyao, his daughter-in-law. He couldn't be too stubborn and offend the Great Wilderness Lord. With a single order, all the rebels, carrying their spiritual treasures, marched out from the mountains behind Qingshui Town in a mighty procession, returning to Shennong Mountain. They were finally home. They had returned with honor!

Yan Mo's health has recovered, except that he can't see in one eye. However, his appearance has not become ugly, and his life has not been affected much. After attending Xiaoyao's enthronement, the two of them took their two children and wandered around. They often came back to live for a while after several years or even more than ten years.

After passing the location to Baizhi, the Jade Mother disappeared without saying where she went. There were only occasional rumors that someone saw a fairy dancing in the sky, and some people recognized that it was a mirage. No one knew where the fairy was.

Xuan was named a prince and was in charge of Xiyan. However, he had no military power and only dealt with major matters that his subordinates could not handle. He and Tan Shuhui had several big fat boys, and their life was peaceful and happy.

Huangdi took Xiaoyao's advice to heart and traveled alone to Haoling, traversing the countryside and earnestly seeking advice. Xiaoyao assigned several experienced scholars to him, and Huangdi returned to Xiyan with great enthusiasm, delving into the best crops to grow in Xiyan's different climates and how to best cultivate them. He didn't feel tired at all, but instead looked radiant.

Chishui Fenglong and Shennong Xinyue were also born safely. They had a great relationship, but they always had a problem with a little brat from the Chenrong family. That brat was so mean, he always asked them to call him daddy! Fenglong and Xinyue naturally refused, so the kid swore: "Just wait! When I grow up, I will definitely be your daddy!"

So, he left with a bruised face...

Only Madam Chishui covered her face, her face flushed red... Should she let him reincarnate far away...

Wuyou and Rushou married ten years after Xiaoyao ascended the throne, and five years later, they had a daughter. They lived a carefree and carefree life in Wushen Mountain.

Shaohao and Xilingheng worked hand in hand as traveling doctors, providing free medical treatment while traveling, as if they had returned to the beautiful days of their youth.

Yiying and Gui Fangyanqing opened shops everywhere, doing business all over the wilderness. Gui Fangyanqing no longer served as the clan leader and stuck to Yiying all day, which made Yiying feel helpless and amused.

Well, this is the end of this book. It's the first book, and even if it's not good enough, it has an ending. I really can't write any more. Thank you to the sisters who have been following me and are willing to read it to the end. The Xiangliu part is indeed not well written. However, my previous life was too hard, and this life is also very happy with the daily necessities, a wife and children, and a warm bed! It's also good for a woman to carry the sky~~O(n_n)O~~
