I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Chapter 327 Finale

Listening to the sounds fading into the distance, neither Wei Jianning nor Lan Zhi uttered a sound. Instead, they continued walking forward until they arrived at the place where they had once lived. Although the courtyard walls had changed, the exterior of the house had been well preserved and it was obvious that it had been repaired.

Wei Jianning pointed to the house they used to live in and introduced it:

“All the houses in the village have been renovated, but they weren’t allowed to touch this place. They only repaired the courtyard wall, fixed the roof, and tidied up any unsuitable parts on the wall. They made some simple changes to the house, but left the rest as it was. This is where we met, and I want to keep it so that we can come back whenever we have time, reminisce about when we first met, and tell our children the story.”

She nestled in his arms and asked softly:

"You are now the emperor, the ruler of a country. Aren't you afraid of recalling that unbearable past?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If it weren't for that unbearable past, how would I have had the good fortune to meet you? And where would I be today?"

As he spoke, he took her hand and led her to the room where he had lived for five years, and where he had been paralyzed for five years...

Seeing how inseparable the two of them were, the people behind them took a few steps back, leaving the two of them alone.

Mrs. Lin held Zhuangzhuang's hand and strolled around the village. Every now and then, villagers would invite them into their homes to sit for a while and give them some local delicacies, which made Zhuangzhuang very happy.

Nothing in the room had been moved except the bed, which had been replaced with a brand new rosewood bed with her favorite winter plum blossoms embroidered on the bed canopy.

He took her hand, sat down on the bed, and looked at her tenderly.

"My wife, this is our first bridal chamber. It's just a pity that I didn't have the ability back then. Shall we relive it now?"

Lan Zhi glanced at the door in alarm, then shook her head.

"There are so many people watching outside, do you want to stage a live sex scene? No way!"

Seeing her hesitation, he raised his voice and gave instructions to the people outside:

"Nie Yuan, all of you step outside. No one is allowed to enter without my summons."

His voice suddenly rose, and the people waiting outside all did as he was told. He turned to look at her.

"Is it okay if there's no one around?"

Inside the gauze curtains, her clothes were half undone, and he held the beauty in his arms, his eyes sparkling, his brows and eyes full of tender beauty.

In this ambiguous setting, in this tender scene, her face flushed crimson, and he seized the opportunity to offer his lips to hers, their lips meeting...

Inside the gauze curtains, a subtle fragrance wafts through the air, and the light and shadows are gentle...

……

Madam Lin took Zhuangzhuang for a walk around the village and heard everything that had happened to Lan Zhi and Wei Jianning. When they returned, the two of them came out of the house with rosy cheeks.

Nie Yuan stepped forward and reported:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the food has been reheated twice. Shall we serve the meal now?"

They then realized that they had been so engrossed in their tender moment that they had forgotten they hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Wei Jianning quickly raised his hand and said:

"Let's eat!"

Nie Yuan then called everyone to prepare for dinner. In order not to disturb them, the villagers stood in their own courtyards, craning their necks to watch. They were all very curious about what it was like for the Emperor and Empress to eat. Was it the same as for ordinary people?

Wei Jianning immediately waved his hand and said:

"Nie Yuan, please invite everyone over. They want to see if the Empress and I eat with our mouths, so come and see. Otherwise, they won't have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Nie Yuan gave a helpless bitter smile, then waved to the people in various places. In an instant, everyone poured out of their homes, completely surrounding the courtyard.

However, everyone was very polite and just watched quietly without saying a word.

Wei Jianning would occasionally put a piece of meat or a piece of vegetable on Lan Zhi's plate, or whisper a few words to her.

This scene was witnessed by the people present, who praised the Emperor and Empress for their loving relationship, saying it was a blessing for the Northern Wei Kingdom and its people.

"My lady, would you like to stay here for the night?"

Lan Zhi shook her head.

"It's a waste of resources and manpower. Let's stop living here and give the people here some peace and quiet!"

She discovered that many of these people were plainclothes government officials sent by the local government, probably because the local government was afraid that they would be in danger here!

Wei Jianning nodded in agreement.

"Shall we go to Yangshu Village?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lan Zhi looked at Madam Lin.

"Mother, let me take you to the place where my older brother found me!"

After a gentle smile appeared on Madam Lin's lips, she shook her head.

"No need. You're by my side now, so let's not dwell on the past."

Lan Zhi then looked at Wei Jianning.

'If my mother doesn't want to go, then let's not go. Let's go back to the palace!'

"No rush back to the palace. We've finally managed to get out here, let's have some fun."

"Could we please avoid alerting the local government?"

"Of course, this time it's all Nie Shuren's fault."

At this point, he looked at Nie Yuan.

"This is all thanks to your father. He managed to tell the local government that we were traveling in plainclothes."

Nie Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly.

“My father is a show-off, Your Majesty, please don’t take it to heart. I’ll have a good talk with him later.”

Wei Jianning raised his hand and smiled.

“Even if your father doesn’t say anything, our itinerary can’t be kept secret. Everyone in Kangzhuang Village knows that Mo Yuan, who was bedridden for five years, has become the current emperor. It would be strange if they didn’t peek through the crack in the door to see for themselves.”

Seeing his carefree attitude, Madam Lin praised him:

"It's rare that His Majesty can bring up his past without any reservations. Before I came here, I was thinking that if these things had happened to a petty person, then let alone repairing Kangzhuang Village, the people in this village, along with those who knew you before, would probably have been silenced long ago!"

"Hahaha……"

Wei Jianning's hearty laughter echoed in the courtyard, and the people present chuckled along with him.

Madam Lin was right. The king was most afraid of others mentioning his shameful past. But this place was different. This was where he met Lan Zhi. He not only did not shy away from mentioning it, but he would even often bring it up in his memories.

He is not afraid of others mentioning his past, nor is he afraid of recalling it. He just wants others to know that the more embarrassing his past was, the more it proves how outstanding he is now.

……

After the meal, they bid farewell to the local people and resumed their journey.

However, he made it clear to the locals not to publicize his incognito visit; he only wanted to take Lan Zhi sightseeing and see the beautiful landscape of the Northern Wei Kingdom.

The group continued on their journey. When they passed the place where the original owner of the body had fallen from the donkey cart after her death, which was also the place where Lan Zhi had transmigrated, she stopped the carriage and stood there for a while. She did not tell Wei Jianning her story, because she was afraid he would not understand.

As they passed through Yangshu Village, they saw Ling Lanhua in the distance, carrying a small wooden stick, her hair disheveled and her face dirty, running back and forth at the village entrance, shouting incessantly.

"I am the Empress! I am the Empress! You all kneel down and kowtow to me!"

She was still wearing the clothes she had worn in the Cold Palace.

Cui kept chasing after her, constantly trying to persuade her.

'Your Highness, please wait for me. Dinner is ready. Please return to your quarters for your meal…'

Seeing this scene, Lan Zhi said she felt neither heartache nor sadness. She just stared blankly at the scene, thinking of Ling Lanhua's previous glory, and felt a little wistful.

“My lady, she has enjoyed blessings that were not meant for her and done things that were not meant for her. Her current situation is what she deserves.”

Lan Zhi smiled bitterly.

"Yes, in a person's life, the amount of hardship one endures is predetermined, and the amount of happiness one is entitled to is also predetermined. Man cannot defy fate..."

"Let's go!"

She glanced once more at Ling Lanhua and Cui Shi, who had already run far away. Ling Jiawei and Xiangxiu also walked out of the village at this moment. They met at the village entrance and set off together to see the beautiful landscape of the Northern Wei Kingdom and to enjoy the freedom that should have been theirs...
