But she looked into the distance: "Hong'er, when I die, I won't be buried here..."
The emperor couldn't believe it: "Why?"
However, I immediately felt something was wrong: "No, Queen Mother, you are still young...how could you think so?"
"Who can live a hundred years without death?"
She laughed, her expression suddenly relieved: "Hong'er, when I traveled to and from Bei Wudang many years ago, I fell in love with another place with beautiful scenery. It was an unknown place with beautiful scenery and few people. I like it better there.
...You remember, after my death, I will never be buried in Bei Wudang. I actually don't like this place..."

However, the Queen Mother was unwilling to be buried with the late Emperor's grandfather!
why is that?

He suddenly remembered - that happened a long, long time ago - what his father said when he was dying, "Hong'er, remember, many years from now, I hope to be with the Queen Mother..."
One day, he hopes to be buried with the Queen Mother!!!
How can my father be buried with the Queen Mother?

Dying nonsense.
You will know better when you grow up.
I never dare to say this.
Until now, he dare not say it.
Life is different, death is different.
There is nothing more tragic than this.
Can’t even tell the Queen Mother – definitely not!!!
That was a secret - he buried it quietly and alone.
Just out of compassion and love.
At this time, the Queen Mother slowly stood up.
Her eyes fell on the emperor's face.
The voice was so relieved: "Hong'er, I don't want to be buried here because everything I have done may not be what they are happy to see. To a certain extent, I am an eternal sinner of the Xianbei people. I want to be alone
