"Empress Huang..." Yong Lian's weak voice reached Mingyu's ears. The latter quickly knelt down and held Yong Lian's hand and said: "Empress Huang is here. Don't be afraid. Yong Lian will always be with you."
By your side."
Yong Lian swallowed hard the smell of blood that surged into his throat and said, "I know that I have never been... afraid."
"Okay! Okay!" Mingyu nodded while shedding tears, "Empress Huang knows that you are feeling very uncomfortable now. It will be okay. Emperor Huang will definitely let Dr. Xu heal you! You will be fine. Empress Huang still needs to see you.
I'm waiting for you to grow up, get a wife and have children!"
Yong Lian tried his best to hold up his breath and said: "Mother Huang, I know that you are very good to me. It was Concubine Zhe who deceived you and used you to harm me. It is none of your business. You... don't blame yourself!"
Hearing what Yong Lian said, Mingyu cried even harder, holding Yong Lian's hand tightly and saying: "I'm sorry, Huang Eniang is sorry for you, Yong Lian, don't let anything happen to you, don't let anything happen to you!"
Yonglian raised his other hand with great difficulty and stroked away the tears on Mingyu's face, "Empress Huang... don't cry!"
Hongli came over and choked with sobs: "Yong Lian, don't talk so much, have a good rest, I and your empress are here to accompany you."
"Huang Ama, I can't bear to leave you..." Tears fell from the corners of Yonglian's eyes. After all, he was only an eight-year-old child. He could not truly face life and death indifferently. He was already very strong to achieve this step.
His words almost made Hongli couldn't help the bitterness in his eyes. He stroked Yonglian's darkened cheek and said in a trembling voice: "Huang Ama can't bear to leave you. Huang Ama is still waiting for you...I will inherit you in the future."
Where is the country left behind by the imperial grandfather!"
"I'm sorry, I let you down." Before Yonglian finished speaking, Hongli shook his head and said: "No, you are the pride of Emperor Ama. No matter... where you go, Emperor Ama will regard you as my pride."
Glory!"
"Huang Ama will always be a great hero in the eyes of my son!" As they were talking, Mingyu was crying so much that she couldn't speak. She couldn't let go of Yong Lian, really... really couldn't let go!
Yong Lian saw Ling Ruo being helped out by the palace staff and asked, "How is the imperial grandmother?"
"Your Imperial Grandmother fainted, and she will be fine when she wakes up. When the time comes, Imperial Grandma will go with you to greet her, okay?"
"Okay!" Yong Lian smiled and said: "Huang Ama, I would like to talk to my aunt alone for a while, is that okay?"
"Of course." Hongli agreed and supported Mingyu to go out. The latter held Yonglian's hand and refused to let go, crying: "No, I, please don't leave Yonglian, no!"
Hongli said in her ear: "This is Yonglian's wish, shall we fulfill it?"
Mingyu kept crying, but this time, she did not respond. Hongli helped her out. After they left, Xianyue knelt down by the bed, held Yonglian's hand tremblingly, and choked with sobs:
"My aunt swore that in this life, my aunt would protect you and not let anyone hurt you. But my aunt didn't do it. I didn't protect you well and let you endure such pain. I'm sorry, my aunt is sorry for you!"
Yong Lian struggled to say: "My aunt has never...never been sorry to me. On the contrary, I want to thank my aunt for treating me well."
Xianyue bit her lower lip tightly until she drew blood before she stopped crying. She stroked Yonglian's cheek over and over again and said: "From now on... I will never see or hear you again."
Your voice; you are like the most splendid rainbow in my aunt's life. I can't bear to let you go. I really can't bear to let you go."
"Yong Lian can't bear to leave my aunt." After saying this, Yong Lian suddenly said: "Aunt, please don't hate the emperor's mother, okay? She is already very sad. From now on, when I am not here, you and the emperor's mother will be fine.
.”
Yonglian's sensibleness made Xianyue almost heartbroken. Facing Yonglian's pleading eyes, she choked and said: "Okay, I promise you, I won't hate you!"
Yonglian put aside his worries, tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said: "Auntie, I would like to call you Auntie a few more times, is it okay?"
Xianyue nodded vigorously and said: "Of course, I will keep it in my heart."
"Eniang!" Yong Lian kept repeating these two words, crying while calling her. From now on... he would never have the chance to call her again.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yue interrupted him gently and said with gentle eyes: "Yong Lian, can you promise my aunt something?"
After Yong Lian nodded, she looked at Yong Lian tenderly, "In the next life, I will be reincarnated as my aunt's son, so that my aunt can protect you well, and also so that you can call me 'aunt' openly."
Yong Lian kept crying. After a long time, he said: "Okay, Yong Lian promises my aunt that he will be her son in the next life!"
"Be good!" Xianyue leaned over and pressed a kiss on Yong Lian's forehead with tears in her eyes. In this life, she was not lucky enough to have a child. She only hoped that in the next life... she and Yong Lian could become a real mother and son in the next life.
Just when Xianyue straightened up, Yonglian suddenly vomited black blood again, and this time it was no longer just one mouthful, but one after another, as if he wanted to vomit all the blood in his body.
His life... finally came to an end eight years after leaving his mother's body...
From the moment when Imperial Physician Xu said that Yong Lian had no chance to recover, Xianyue knew that this moment would come, but when it actually came, she still had a feeling of collapse.
Regardless of the blood on Yonglian's body, Xianyue hugged her tightly and said: "No, Yonglian, hold on, don't leave my aunt so soon, please, say a few more words to my aunt, please!"
After Yonglian vomited out several large mouthfuls of blood, he murmured in Xianyue's ear: "I really want to...I really want to hold happiness and play in Yanxi Palace again, I really want to..."
"Okay, Auntie, go bring Xinxin over immediately and let you hold it. You wait for Auntie, and you must wait for Auntie to come back." With that said, Xianyue let go of Yonglian and stumbled out, Hongli and
Mingyu was waiting outside the door. When he saw her opening the door, he immediately walked in.
Xianyue ignored them and just wanted to find happiness quickly and fulfill Yonglian's last wish. However, as soon as she took a few steps, she heard lung-piercing cries and wailings from behind, "Yonglian! Wake up!"
Wake up, don’t sleep, don’t leave the Emperor’s mother behind!”
Xianyue turned around numbly and walked back step by step. She saw Mingyu hugging Yonglian and crying bitterly; she saw tears falling from Hongli's sad face; she saw Shuixiu kneeling down and crying...
The next moment, she fell into boundless darkness...
She dreamed that she saw Yonglian feeding the stray cat at the right gate of Changkang for the first time;
She dreamed that Yonglian stood up to speak for her when everyone suspected that she had pushed Gao;
She dreamed that Yonglian was holding Kaixin and playing under the crabapple tree in Xifu. The crabapple flowers were falling on one person and one cat in the wind...
She also dreamed that the sick Yonglian gave her a painting, saying that this painting should replace him and happiness, and stay with her...
