My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Ten years of the Great Xu Dynasty.

Xu Wuyan woke up from a nightmare.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Mo lying next to him.

fortunately!

That was just a dream; she's still by my side.

Xu Wuyan couldn't help but reach out and hug the woman who had changed his life. He rested his chin on her head and held her, only then did he feel that he was not dreaming.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo asked, still half asleep.

"It's okay, you go to sleep. I just had a nightmare, so I wanted to hug you," Xu Wuyan explained softly.

"Mmm, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Lin Mo rolled over, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest.

Looking at her sleeping face, Xu Wuyan chuckled softly.

Even when you're half asleep, you want to comfort yourself.

Thinking about the dream he had just had, Xu Wuyan couldn't help but exert himself.

He dreamt of the past life that his wife had mentioned.

He had a very difficult life in his past life, which was not as smooth as this one.

Everything in his life had gone so smoothly that he felt like he was dreaming, but he knew that the reason his life had been so smooth was because of the woman in his arms.

Because no one warned them in their previous life, when the emperor took action, the Xu family's power and wealth were almost completely destroyed.

Therefore, during his exile, in order to save the lives of his entire family, he endured it again and again and dared not show his face.

It's impossible for him not to feel frustrated during this process.

His father died under mysterious circumstances, and danger lurked everywhere, yet he could do nothing but live like a useless person.

But at some point, he noticed her.

She was very thin and inconspicuous in the group, but she was like a blade of grass, growing wildly upwards.

While all the other exiled people were depressed, feeling hopeless and starting to give up on themselves, she kept trying and striving because she wanted to live.

She never gave up hope despite all the hardships she faced, while he was just experiencing setbacks; what right did he have to give up?

Because of her, he regained his spirits.

After all, it's really not easy to survive. If they don't plan carefully, those surnamed Xu won't be able to make it to Mocheng.

Seeing her being bullied, and the food she had painstakingly found being stolen, and her not daring to utter a word of resistance, he couldn't help but remind her that simply enduring it was useless.

Unfortunately, she didn't seem to understand.

The same thing will happen again next time, and she will still laugh like an idiot, oblivious to everything.

How can you be so stupid as to not dare to fight back when you're being bullied?

He felt disgusted, but he still secretly ordered someone to lead her to a place where she could find food.

I can't get too close to her right now; getting too close would be a curse, not a blessing.

Wait, wait a little longer!

Once we reach Mocheng, I will protect her.

By then, he should be able to bring this foolish woman under his wing.

But he never expected that when he was almost in Mo City, he had to leave for half a day because of something, and when he returned, he would find her corpse.

He couldn't help but tremble as he watched her thin body being abandoned and left to rot in the wilderness.

He regretted leaving; if he hadn't left, he would have definitely saved her.

He didn't say anything, but with red eyes, he asked someone to buy a coffin, and then he dug a grave for her and buried her himself.

His life had to go on.

After that, whenever he left Mo City, he would subconsciously stand by her grave for a while.

A year later, he personally killed Zhou Yuxuan to avenge her.

But it seems pointless now, everyone is dead.

He continued to live and fight in an orderly fashion.

He was planning a way to survive for his two sisters and those who followed him.

But he still failed.

He was captured at her grave.

He never imagined that his blood would be spilled on her grave when he committed suicide.

As he lay dying, he couldn't help but look at the blood-stained grave and smile bitterly.

Sorry, I've dirtied your path to the underworld.

If I could be buried with you after death, I would have no regrets.

And his last wish was fulfilled by that fool Xu Pinggui.

……

Lost and found!

No wonder she always seemed familiar when I first saw her.

It turns out they had met in their past lives.

Fortunately, they were together in this life, and it didn't become a regret.

Lin Mo was woken up by his grip and couldn't help but yawn. "Old Xu, why are you still awake so late?"

Didn't we say we'd take a boat to Mocheng tomorrow?

Go to sleep. It's been ten years since I left, and I really want to go back and visit. I miss it terribly.

"Ok!"

Xu Wuyan still held her close. "My lady, have I ever told you how much I love you?"

"Why are you being so mushy tonight?" Lin Mo chuckled.

But she couldn't help but look up and gently kiss his cheek. "I love you too."

Xu Wuyan stole a peck on her lips, feeling satisfied.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

……

The Great Xu Kingdom was established forty-one years ago.

After a sudden cold snap in spring, 68-year-old Lin Mo suddenly fainted and fell into a coma.

Xu Wuyan posted notices throughout the country, seeking a miracle doctor who could cure Lin Mo's illness.

He invited the divine physician from the Valley of Divine Physicians, but the only result was a shake of the head and a sigh, indicating that he was powerless to help.

In just three days, Xu Wuyan's originally black hair seemed to have turned completely white overnight.

"Find more bounties, increase the bounty to 50,000, as long as it can wake the lady up."

Even though he was over seventy years old, Xu Wuyan's voice was still full of decisiveness.

"Father!" Their own son, Xu Qiyuan, who had now ascended the throne, frowned. "Even the divine physicians of Divine Healer Valley are helpless. Stop tormenting Mother Empress; she's suffering too..."

"Shut up!" Xu Wuyan's eyes swept coldly over him:

Is this your idea of ​​filial piety?

Do you want to give up on your mother and not treat her?

Is this how I usually teach you?

"I..." Xu Qiyuan wanted to speak, but his twin sister Xu Yuan shook her head at him.

Their father was always wise and powerful, but he would lose his mind only when it came to their mother.

The emperor only wanted his mother to wake up, but subconsciously ignored the painful expression on her face while she was unconscious.

The Empress Dowager was also in great discomfort.

Xu Qiyuan sighed, "Okay, I'll get on it right now."

After the brother and sister left, Xu Wuyan squatted down in front of her, reached out and held her hand, "Madam, you should wake up. How long are you planning to sleep?"

"Lazybones, it's time to get up!"

Xu Wuyan gazed at her sleeping face with longing, and as usual, he rambled on about the past beside her.

Recalling her vibrant and lively self back then, and then looking at her now lying motionless in bed, Xu Wuyan couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

"Madam, please get up quickly. Didn't you want to go to Beiling to see Xu Ziyue? Get up and I'll take you there, okay?"

"And I'll take you to see Murong Nanshao, as long as you can wake up."

"My lady, as long as you can wake up, I will accompany you wherever you want to go, whether it's to the sky or the sea."

……

By the end, Xu Wuyan couldn't help but bury his head in the blanket beside him and sob.

He didn't want anyone to see his pain.

But suddenly someone stroked his head, that familiar feeling…

Xu Wuyan looked up abruptly and saw Lin Mo looking at him with a smile.

"lady……"

Xu Wuyan burst into tears of joy, grabbed her hand and couldn't help but gently kiss it, "That's wonderful, you're finally awake."

"Oh, thank goodness! You're awake! Madam, you're awake!"

Xu Wuyan was somewhat incoherent.

"It's so ugly, her hair...how did it all turn white? It was black before."

Lin Mo looked at Xu Wuyan, whose eyes were wet with tears, and couldn't help but feel disgusted, but her own eyes were red.

Old Xu is very worried and sad, isn't he?

But if...

"It's alright, it's good that you're awake. I'll get ready in a bit and I'll still be the most handsome old man." Xu Wuyan joked to himself, but his eyes were full of affection as he looked at her.

As long as she's with me, that's enough.

Lin Mo sighed, "Old Xu... I'm afraid I can't stay with you... You have to take good care of yourself... Promise me!"

She knew her time was up, and with her last breath, she just wanted to see him, fearing he might do something foolish.

Xu Wuyan's smile froze on his face. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

You'll be alright. I've already consulted many renowned doctors; they can cure whatever illness you have..."

Lin Mo shook her head with difficulty, "Old Xu... my time is up... this is just a final burst of energy before death..."

"No, don't scare me!" Xu Wuyan sat on the bed, his eyes reddening as he pulled her into his arms. "My lady, you can't abandon me. What will I do without you?"

"I'll be with you... in another way, don't be sad." Lin Mo smiled faintly and reached out to touch his face with difficulty.

"Live well, and go see Ziyue...Murong for me."

Live a few more years... take a look for me... Da Xu...

On the Bridge of Helplessness... I will be waiting for you!

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand slid down and remained still.

Xu Wuyan held her tightly, his eyes staring blankly ahead. "Without you, who would want to see them?"

Without you by my side, what's the point of this world?

After a while, he gently put her down.

Dress her in her favorite clothes, style her hair in her favorite updo, and then do her makeup.

After helping Lin Mo get ready, he shakily changed into clean clothes and then combed his hair neatly.

After doing all this, he lay down beside her, took her hand tightly, and turned his head to look at her:

"Don't walk so fast, wait for me!"

Then he closed his eyes.
