Chapter 184 Extra 3-Previous Life
“Cough, cough, cough…” A burst of heart-wrenching coughs came from between the bed curtains, followed by a man’s weak voice, “Liang Dehai.”
Eunuch Liang Dehai, whose hair had turned completely white, looked very old. His body was hunched and he walked unsteadily. He seemed to be quite old, but he was still struggling to hold on.
Because he is the only one His Majesty trusts the most.
Liang Dehai really couldn't bear to leave and leave His Majesty alone in this lonely palace.
and……
Considering His Majesty's current physical condition, it is still unclear who will die first.
Liang Dehai's eyes became hot and he quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then hurriedly stepped forward to answer.
I am old now and I can't stop crying. I can't let Your Majesty see it and make him sad.
"Your Majesty, the servant is here."
A hand stretched out from the bed curtain. The skin was so white that not a trace of blood could be seen. The skin seemed to be thinly attached to the bones, and one could even see the purple blood vessels under the skin.
Liang Dehai hurried forward and opened the bed curtains to both sides, then adjusted the quilt, and helped the person inside to sit up against the head of the bed.
The person who was originally lying on the bed finally revealed his full face.
He was extremely handsome, and even with this sickly look, he still looked like he was in his prime.
Those peach blossom eyes, despite their indifference, could reveal a bit of charm, and the red corners of their eyes made people feel a bit of pity.
But the majesty and coldness between his eyebrows were even more severe, making people dare not look at his face for any longer.
The golden nightgown draped over his skinny frame looked empty, as if there was no flesh left on his body and even his soul was about to leave, leaving only this skeleton struggling to hold on.
This is a gorgeous flower that was raised by the royal family, but now it is obviously about to wither.
The whole body has a kind of broken beauty, but it is also covered with ice thorns.
"What time is it?" He just said a few words and then covered his fist to his mouth and started coughing.
When he removed his hand, there was blood on the handkerchief.
Liang Dehai took the handkerchief, and the sad look on his face no longer appeared.
This situation has been going on for some time.
As the one who serves His Majesty, he is naturally the most aware of His Majesty's weakness and is also the most heartbroken.
But after getting used to it, I finally stop losing my composure in front of His Majesty.
Your Majesty doesn't like this.
"It is already noon, Your Majesty." Liang Dehai replied.
Di Yuan sighed:
"It's not time yet... isn't it time for those people to take action?"
Liang Dehai said quickly:
"Yes, they have already made a scene. Your Majesty, the people you arranged for them were put to good use and suppressed them early on. You don't have to worry."
Di Yuan snorted coldly:
"This throne is dirty, but I am the only one who doesn't want to throw it away. There is no reason for them to snatch it away! Ahem... Liang Dehai, have you dealt with the will?"
"Yes," Liang Dehai's nose felt a little sour when he mentioned this matter, "Don't worry, these servants have all remembered it. The little kid you chose is also well-raised. He is as brilliant as you were back then, Your Majesty, and very smart."
“Cough, cough, cough!” Di Yu’an coughed a few more times and shook his head. “It’s not a good thing to be like me… Liang Dehai, unknowingly, after so many years, I have actually survived. At the beginning, they all said that I wouldn’t live past twenty, but I still beat them, hahahahahaha…”
Liang Dehai stepped forward and patted Di Yuan on the back:
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have always been strong. You defeated them."
Di Yuan suddenly asked:
"By the way, that... Ye family, is there still a girl in their family? Her name is... Ye Qiongying?"
Liang Dehai was stunned, wondering why His Majesty asked about the Ye family.
However, Liang Dehai, the chief steward, has always been meticulous in his work. He can really remember these connections. After thinking about it carefully, he replied:
"Yes. All the men of the Ye family died in Pingwu City, leaving only one girl behind, named Ye Qiongying, who later married into the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis.
Somehow, I felt like I was sick and my mind was not very clear.
Miss Ye passed away some time ago, and it was her husband’s family, the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, that held the funeral.”
Di Yuan couldn't help but frown:
"Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion? Where are the Ye family? Who is left?"
I don't know why His Majesty suddenly became interested in the Ye family, but seeing that he was excited about this, Liang Dehai said a few more words:
"Old Madam Ye died of illness a long time ago. His aunt was divorced and returned to her parents' home with a daughter. However, the daughter fell into a well and drowned when she was very young, and the aunt also went crazy.
There were also some accidents in the mansion. The old people who used to follow him died or fell ill, and no trace of them could be found.
So, there is no one left.
The Ye family is also pitiful. Miss Ye's husband is most likely a man who seeks fame and reputation. As soon as Miss Ye fell ill, he divorced her on the grounds that she was unable to take charge of things. He also kept her in his house in the name of repaying his kindness.
Not long ago, the Loyal and Brave Marquis had married a new wife and it was after that that Miss Ye reported the death."
He knows all these things.
But he is just a manager and can't control these things.
And what is more important to him is His Majesty's health.
Hearing this, Di Yuan showed an ugly look on his face:
"Among those people, are there any loyal and brave marquis families?"
Liang Dehai was stunned for a moment before he realized what His Majesty meant and said quickly:
"The loyal and brave marquis himself was not involved, but his second branch was involved. His sister who had an affair and was divorced and sent home, and his new son-in-law were also involved."
“In that case, ahem…” Di Yu’an waved his hand, “Then the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion isn’t clean either! Let’s clear it out as well!”
Liang Dehai agreed immediately, not caring why His Majesty did so.
The Ye family is full of loyal and brave people.
A few years ago, precisely because the Ye family had no one left, a war broke out in Pingwu City and many people died. This was how the two countries of Dongchen and Xili were kept out, and it remains a hidden danger to this day.
However, Your Majesty can no longer hold on, so let the child chosen by Your Majesty from the refugee camp continue to work hard.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who treated the orphan of the Ye family in this way, was not innocent in being liquidated.
Whose wealthy life in the capital is not built on the blood and sweat of the Ye family?
"Liang Dehai, do you believe in fate and destiny?" Di Yu'an suddenly said.
Liang Dehai looked at Emperor Yu'an's eyes which had suddenly dimmed, and he suddenly felt flustered. Thinking that His Majesty was in high spirits today, he felt a chill on his back.
This... could this be... a last gasp of light?
"Your Majesty," Liang Dehai said calmly, "I believe it. It is my destiny to be with you for the rest of my life."
"Really?" Di Yu'an murmured, "I... I had a dream. I dreamed of the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Qiongying, right? I dreamed that I was mistaken for an adulterer and was falsely accused of having an affair. I lay in the same bed with her, and then I took one of her purses."
Liang Dehai was stunned.
Your Majesty, back then, it was true...
But, there is no wallet.
His Majesty suddenly fell ill at that time and the situation was very serious. When the group of people surrounded him, the secret guards rushed His Majesty back to the palace.
After that, His Majesty's physical condition deteriorated drastically, and his mind was also affected, causing memory disorder.
Everyone was worried about his health, so naturally they had no time to check anything else.
"She became a general and married me. We have three children. They are all excellent and look like her..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Blood gushed out from Di Yu'an's mouth.
Liang Dehai hurried forward to wipe it.
Di Yuan didn't care much and continued:
"He is so happy... Unlike me, who is alone... But I actually dreamed of Ye Qiongying's name. Does it mean that we are also destined to be together?
In the next life... In the next life, I don’t want to be ‘I’, I want to be ‘me’, I…”
Liang Dehai heard his voice getting weaker and weaker, so he leaned down and put his ear close to him.
I heard His Majesty's last words, flowing from his lips like the wind:
"I, I miss you so much, sister..."
