At the beginning of the game, I brought the cubs into exile, and I took the miserable husband to ove

"You have thought about it."

Li Dengyan did not expect that Xiao Rongjin would give up everything for a woman. Thinking of Fu Yinong, Li Dengyan also thought of the late emperor's last words before his death: The Li family woman is indeed a strange woman. This woman's unpredictable methods can overturn the country. , if it cannot be used, it must be removed.

Although it would be detrimental to Fu Yinong that he would not obey the late emperor's last words, at this moment, when Xiao Rongjin was willing to give up everything to follow the person who had left, I had to say that in fact, he felt slightly relieved in his heart.

It is human nature to admire and fear strength, and as an emperor, he is no exception.

Xiao Rongjin saw the look of the new emperor in his eyes. Even if the emperor and his ministers shared hardships together, the emperor would always be the emperor. The gap between the emperor and his ministers was as insurmountable as a natural chasm.

He nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind and will not change it. I hope that Your Majesty can fulfill it."

Seeing Xiao Rongjin's determined expression, Li Dengyan sighed, his tone full of helplessness and regret.

"Since Aiqing has insisted again and again, I will not be the person I hate. I just love you for saving my life several times. I can't deny the reward. It will chill the hearts of other meritorious officials. If Aiqing is unwilling to accept the reward, then I will Enjoy your son."

"emperor."

"My dear, I have made up my mind. There is no need to say any more. Please step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Rongjin didn't know what the new emperor's plan would be. Xiaoxuan was only a child now. Even if he wanted to be granted a title, he probably wouldn't have much to gain. Thinking of this, he felt a little at ease.

"Rong Jin, wait!"

Xiao Rongjin had just left the palace, and Nan Mingyan caught up with him. Since he returned to the capital with the order, the two of them had not had time to get together. It was just the right day to bring him back to the house and have a good chat.

Unexpectedly, just after the two of them entered the palace, the imperial edict came down behind them.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Today, the Xiao family is Rong Jin, and his wife, the Fu family, is very affectionate. The couple saved me from danger and saved the country of Chu from the turmoil. They have made great contributions and were highly praised by the late emperor. Because of Xiao family's appearance, Jin Jin is not in good health to serve the imperial court. Therefore, I order his beloved son Xiao Mingxuan to carry forward his father's ambition and inheritance, and he will be named a first-class general and a first-class king, and he will be given a fiefdom."

Hearing this, Xiao Rongjin no longer wanted to listen to the fiefdom and silver rewards. He did not expect that the new emperor would actually give all the rewards that were supposed to be given to him to a young child. Such an honor was unprecedented. Shake the court.

Not only Xiao Rongjin, but the entire Xiao family was in a state of excitement. The Xiao family, who were originally frustrated because Xiao Rongjin rejected the reward, were now full of joy and extremely excited.

"Accept the order, Mr. Xiao."

Seeing that the young prince, who was freshly dressed in glory, had not come back to his senses, the eunuch who announced the decree bowed slightly and leaned forward the imperial edict in his hand.

Fu Xiaoxuan was shocked by the huge surprise and didn't know what to do. Finally, after Xiao Rongjin's reminder, he respectfully accepted the imperial edict. After the others left, Nan Mingyan stepped forward. His original worries had long been forgotten. The new emperor is far more courageous than imagined. A wise king is in charge, which is a blessing for Chu.

"father"

Fu Xiaoxuan, holding the imperial edict in his hand, looked up at Xiao Rongjin, his eyes full of anxiety.

Xiao Rongjin sighed slightly. He originally planned to wait until this matter was over, then leave Kyoto with Fu Xiaoxuan and return to Qiongzhou Island to wait for Fu Yinong. Who knew that the plan would change. This imperial edict tied him to Kyoto in disguise. At least until Fu Xiaoxuan takes charge, he can't leave.

"Don't worry, dad will always be here with you until the day you truly become a qualified person in power."

"father"

Fu Xiaoxuan's eyes turned slightly red. He missed his mother. He knew that his father must have missed his mother too. If not for this imperial edict, his father would not have been forced to stay here with him.

"Dad, I will definitely grow up as quickly as possible. Before my mother left, she handed me all the power and things under her control. I will not let you down."

What Fu Xiaoxuan didn't say was that he took over from his mother the tiger talisman that could command the four major camps and the imperial seal. These two items were already better than the gold and silver mountains and the treasure map that his mother left behind. Xiao Rongjin's throat moved and he swallowed the words of rejection. He touched Fu Xiaoxuan's little head with a gentle expression, then picked up the little man and turned to Nan Mingyan and said.

"Let's go to the study and chat."

Time, some people hope that it will go quickly, and time will pass by like running water, while some people hope that it can go slowly, so that people can grow old slowly.

The little child back then seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. His little and tender back could already carry his father's share of the sky. On Qiongzhou Island, the disciples of the Eight Immortals Sect all stood with sad faces. The small courtyard where they used to practice swordsmanship and martial arts is still there, but the people are no longer what they used to be.

Under the jujube tree surrounded by several people in the courtyard, a rocking chair rocked back and forth gently, and the murmuring old voice drifted over in the wind.

"She still hasn't come back, not even once, even to see me secretly."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait any longer, but I still want to keep waiting."

"Xuan'er, tell me, what should I do?"

Beside the rocking chair, a tall figure stood in the wind. He turned his head slightly to look at the old man with white hair and beard on the rocking chair. Listening to his breathless voice, he squatted down, stretched out his slender arms, and gently hugged the man. Get into your arms and make him more comfortable.

"Dad, you have been waiting all your life. If you are so sincere, God will definitely let you and mother meet again in the next life and become a magical couple. When the time comes, you must not forget Xuan'er."

"In the next life, I will choose you to be my parents."

Xiao Rongjin leaned weakly in Fu Xiaoxuan's arms, her turbid eyes looking through the distant sky, as if she wanted to see the other side of the sky.

"Flying birds and fish have different paths. In my next life, I don't want to be a fish. Let me also be a flying bird."

Only by growing wings could he catch up with her. He no longer wanted to wait helplessly and hopelessly, not anymore.

"it is good."

Fu Xiaoxuan responded softly, feeling that the person in his arms was no longer breathing, and tears finally fell silently.

"Elder brother, dad is gone."

"Big brother"

"Xiao Xuan."

Fu Xiaoxuan's eyes were red, and he picked up Xiao Rongjin's eternally sleeping body. Followed by a group of senior brothers and sisters, he entered the room and placed the person on the stone bed. Others spontaneously and carefully took down the portraits that hung all over the room. , all rolled up and piled beside Xiao Rongjin.

When Fu Xiaoxuan was changing Xiao Rongjin's clothes, he found two small portraits from his chest and right hand respectively. The person in the portrait was dressed in green and had a plain hairpin, and was stunningly beautiful.

"mother"

He shouted softly and suddenly burst into tears.

The clear rain was falling, and on the day Xiao Rongjin was buried, even God shed tears to see her off. It rained continuously on Qiongzhou Island. The disciples of the Eight Immortals Sect were all dressed in green and placed in front of the tomb, unwilling to leave for a long time.

At the same time, on a sea surface far away from Qiongzhou Island, a beauty in green clothes held an umbrella in her hands, standing on the turbulent sea, looking into the distance.

Under the same sky, people in two different places bid farewell to the same person.
