"Wan'er, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and Che'er is only seven days old. Are you leaving?" Xuan Ningyi knew that Murong Jingwan had been thinking about Xuan Ningxuan in her heart, but she didn't expect that Che'er was only seven days old.
, Murong Jingwan is going to Luoyang.
Murong Jingwan did not stop packing her luggage. She had been delayed for seven days, and she could no longer calmly continue to live in Shuiyun Palace. Xuan Ningxuan was still in Luoyang, and the imperial doctor in Luoyang could not control the epidemic at all.
"Yi, I'll leave it to you, Che'er." Murong Jingwan turned around and stared at the little Xuan Che in Xuan Ningyi's arms.
Xuan Ningyi carefully placed little Xuanche in Murong Jingwan's arms. Murong Jingwan stared at little Xuanche's sleeping face, feeling extremely reluctant in her heart. She really wanted to stay with him.
Lowering her head and kissing little Xuanche's tender face, Murong Jingwan quickly put little Xuanche back into Xuan Ningyi's arms, fearing that she would be reluctant to leave if she hugged little Xuanche again.
"Wan'er, you're leaving soon, don't hug Che'er more." Xuan Ningyi looked at Murong Jingwan in confusion.
Murong Jingwan shook her head and said, "I will be reluctant to leave while holding Che'er."
"Wan'er, are you leaving now?" Xuan Ningyi asked calmly.
Murong Jingwan quickly picked up her packed luggage and hurried out of the room without even saying goodbye.
Xuan Ningyi stared blankly at Murong Jingwan's quick departure. Little Xuanche in his arms seemed to feel Murong Jingwan's departure, so he opened his mouth and burst into tears.
"Che'er, be good, don't cry." Xuan Ningyi comforted little Xuan Che in her arms softly.
Little Xuanche seemed to know that Murong Jingwan had left him. No matter how Xuan Ningyi comforted him, little Xuanche kept crying and his little body kept twisting, as if to let Xuan Ningyi chase Murong Jingwan.
Murong Jingwan, who had not walked far, heard Xiao Xuanche's cry, and the tears in her eyes slowly fell with Xiao Xuanche's cry. Covering her lips with her hands, Murong Jingwan quickly walked out of Shuiyun.
palace.
Murong Jingwan forced herself not to look back. Once she went back, she would not be able to let go of Xiao Xuanche.
Xuan Ningyi hugged little Xuanche and walked out of Shuiyun Palace, but Murong Jingwan could no longer be seen.
He stretched out his hand and gently wiped the crystal tears on Xiao Xuanche's face, and said bitterly: "Che'er, in your mother's mind, you are still not as good as your father."
Little Xuanche stopped crying and stared at Xuan Ningyi with big tearful eyes.
Xuan Ningyi kissed little Xuanche's forehead lovingly and said word by word: "My foster father will definitely take good care of you, and we will wait for your mother to come back together."
Xiao Xuanche also kissed Xuan Ningyi's cheek, drooling all over Xuan Ningyi's face.

The epidemic could not be controlled, and more and more people were infected with the plague. In order to prevent the people from panic, Xuan Ningxuan prepared to offer sacrifices to heaven in person to pray to the gods.
"Caixia, Caiyun, have you prepared all the things for worshiping the sky?" Xuan Ningxuan sat on the chair with a solemn expression, his face full of exhaustion. He could no longer remember how long it had been since he had closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the epidemic outside is very serious. It's better not to worship the heaven. Caiyun is afraid..." Caiyun said worriedly. She and Caixia both knew that Xuan Ningxuan's health was deteriorating. If he went out to worship the heaven this time and contracted the plague,
The consequences could be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, Caixia also agrees with Caiyun's words." Caixia said word by word, hoping to convince Xuan Ningxuan.
Xuan Ningxuan's eyes swept over the two of them and said calmly: "The people of Luoyang are all in danger, but the imperial doctors have been unable to find an antidote to the plague. What do you think I should do to calm the people's fears?
."
Caiyun and Caixia raised their heads and looked at Xuan Ningxuan, shaking their heads at the same time.
"Since there is no better way, then follow me out." Xuan Ningxuan stood up slowly and walked outside. He knew that if his body was infected with the plague, he could at least get rid of it quickly.
Caixia and Caiyun quickly followed Xuan Ningxuan with the things they had prepared in their hands.
As soon as Xuan Ningxuan walked in front of the people, the people immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Xuan Ningxuan walked among the infected people and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for everyone, but I still can't get the antidote. Today I am going to sacrifice to heaven. If this plague cannot be controlled, my life will be ruined again."
No heirs."
"Your Majesty, you are a good emperor. You cannot have an heir, and our dynasty cannot have a next emperor." The people kneeling on the ground said one after another.
Xuan Ningxuan walked slowly to the altar without answering, and slashed his wrist hard with his sword. He fell in love with Murong Jingwan, and Murong Jingwan fell in love with Xuan Ningyi. In this life, he had no one but Murong Jingwan.
If he doesn't want anyone, how can he have any heirs?
"I sacrifice my blood to heaven in the hope that heaven will let these innocent people go. If I have done anything wrong, please punish me alone instead of punishing these innocent people." Xuan Ningxuan said word by word, bright red blood
Since it was left on the wrist, Xuan Ningxuan's body couldn't help but sway.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself." A commoner stood up in a hurry, trying to support Xuan Ningxuan's crumbling body. Suddenly he was infected with the plague, and he could only kneel on the ground again in pain.
Caiyun and Caixia immediately stepped forward and supported Xuan Ningxuan's shaky body.
"Your Majesty, would you like to go back and rest?" Caixia said consolingly, while Caiyun quickly bandaged Xuan Ningxuan's wound.
The dizziness caused by blood loss could not allow Xuan Ningxuan to persist, so he could only walk back slowly with the support of Caiyun and Caixia.
None of the three of them noticed a figure hiding in the dark crying alone.
Murong Jingwan covered her lips with both hands, not daring to cry at all. She was afraid that Xuan Ningxuan would find her. She only arrived in Luoyang today and realized that the epidemic in Luoyang was more serious than she thought.
Knowing that Xuan Ningxuan would come out to offer sacrifices to heaven, she couldn't help but come.
Why did Xuan Ningxuan lose weight like this in less than half a year? Is he torturing himself? When I go to the market occasionally, I hear people talking about Xuan Ningxuan. People praise him for punishing corrupt officials.
He was a rare good emperor who cut taxes and cared about the people. But Murong Jingwan never thought that Xuanningxuan would become so thin because he was busy with political affairs. After seeing Xuanningxuan's haggard face, Murong Jingwan
Jingwan's heart ached as if it was torn apart.
The dark circles at the corners of Xuan Ningxuan's eyes were very obvious. How long had it been since he had had a good rest?
When she saw Caiyun and Caixia, Murong Jingwan was deeply moved. She originally thought that Xuan Ningxuan would be angry with Caiyun and Caixia and kill them. Murong Jingwan never thought that one day she would see Caiyun and Caixia again.
