Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 224: Xuanxuan and Huangdi Repent

"Doctor, how is he? Can he be saved?"

Huangdi looked at Xixuan with heartache. Even though he was unconscious, he was still twitching in pain. Xiaoyao, did she really want Xixuan's life? Did she really want all her relatives to die in front of him?

Huangdi finally couldn't tell anyone with a clear conscience that he had never regretted anything. Xiaoyao was right. All the tragedies and all the injuries were caused by his ambition.

"Your Majesty, although your Majesty appears to be in pain, he is actually fine. In fact, your Majesty's previously blocked meridians are constantly repairing, and his cultivation is even increasing. As long as he can endure this pain, he will be fine. This is amazing! Which master can accomplish this? Can you tell me?"

"She... left. You can go down."

The imperial physician felt very sorry and bowed and left. Huangdi picked up the towel and wiped the sweat off Xuanxuan's face. He was silent for a long time and finally sighed.

As night fell, the wind blew fiercely, and heavy snow fell outside. Inside, Huangdi ordered people to light the stove, but the heat from the stove could not warm Huangdi's chilly heart.

"Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, brother was wrong..."

A mumbling voice broke the Huangdi who was immersed in the memories of his old age. He thought that Xuanxuan had woken up, but found that he was just talking in his sleep. Xuanxuan's face slowly returned to normal, even a little rosy, and he knew that he should be fine.

"Xiaoyao, don't go!"

Don’t you want your brother anymore?

Xuan suddenly woke up with a start. He sat up in panic, threw back the quilt, and wanted to get out of bed to put on his boots. In his mind was still the image of Xiaoyao leaving him. He couldn't let her go like this. He asked for her forgiveness, otherwise, he always felt that he would never have the chance to see her again in this life.

"Xiaoyao has left. It's getting late. You're just feeling better now, so take a rest first!"

Huangdi's voice sounded beside him, and Xuanxuan came back to his senses. He looked at the sky helplessly, with his head lowered, helpless like a child.

Huangdi brought him a cloak and put it on him, then heaved a long sigh and said comfortingly:

"Don't be sad, she is not as heartless to you as you think."

"Grandpa, I suddenly feel like everything has lost its meaning."

"Why is it meaningless? If you really did something wrong to her in your past life, and she's been pissing you off and tormenting you all these years, she's also venting her anger. Isn't that the meaning?"

"Grandpa! You're rubbing salt into my wounds. But, think about it, it's really the case."

Xuanxuan recalled all the times when he was so angry that his eyes were blazing and smoke was coming out of his head. Thinking about it now, he actually felt a little warm. Was he so angry that he lost his mind?

"Grandpa, Xiaoyao, are you having a child?"

"Well, I already knew that..."

Huangdi handed a pot of wine to Xuanxuan. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, smiled and clinked their glasses. They actually had the illusion of sympathy.

"Great, I saw it, it's cute, what's its name?"

"Sui Sui."

"Peace every year. It seems that Xiaoyao's wish is that he grows up safely. Xiangliu is not dead, right? Xiaoyao is not injured and asleep. They lied to everyone."

"Yeah, she went with her master to give birth to a child. She knew that we bastards might disturb them. Xiaoyao, she didn't trust us..."

"Why are there two Xiangliu?"

Before Xuan passed out, he clearly saw Xiangliu holding a woman's hand behind him...

"I don't know. Xiaoyao can come back, so it's not surprising that Xiangliu also came back. Xiaoyao's master was able to save Ah Heng from the Sun Fire. He must be an extraordinary person. Xiaoyao also said that her cultivation was wasted in her previous life. Now that she has a high level of cultivation, it's probably due to her master's efforts. Her master should be with Xiangliu in this life. We have been kept in the dark this whole time. It's really... well calculated."

"Her master treated me very badly, from the first time I met her, she seemed to know everything, including Tu Shanjing. Master Yan treats all mean people as those who have hurt Xiaoyao. Grandpa, in a previous life, Xinyue Fenglong must have hurt Xiaoyao, so Xinyue is afraid of Xiaoyao. She must know something. How does she know?"

"It's Tushan Jing. Before Meilin, Tushan Jing had conspired with Xinyue. Tushan Jing should also be a reborn person."

Xuanxuan's brows furrowed tightly. Why were there so many reborn? What was going on? Who was so capable?

"Don't think about it. Things have come to this point. What are you going to do?"

"If Xiaoyao wants it, then I will give Xiyan to her as compensation for the harm she suffered."

"When will we do it?"

"Next year..."

Xiaoyao said that she wanted to defeat him fairly, so the only thing he could do was to cooperate with her.

"Xuan, why don't you try to mobilize your spiritual power?"

Xuanxuan just remembered that he had taken Xiaoyao's pill. The pain before was so real that he didn't feel anything when he woke up. He almost forgot about it.

"Hey! Grandpa, my spiritual power has mostly recovered, Xiaoyao..."

"That's right. Xiaoyao came here just to vent her anger. With her intelligence network, she already knew who spread the rumor. This pill is to cure the poison in you. Your spiritual power is not completely destroyed. She still has room for you. Fortunately, you have come to your senses over the years. If you had listened to me, in the current situation, even with Ah Heng, Xiaoyao might not show mercy. I once thought that although Xiaoyao has spiritual power, as long as I use tricks, I can still restrain her. If it weren't for the changes brought about by Xiaoyao's rebirth, you should have received support from Haoling. Xiaoyao stood by you, and with your means, Wuyou would be pleased with you. Shaohao would feel guilty towards Ah Heng and would make up for his guilt on you. Even if he wanted to attack Haoling in the future, Shaohao would hand over Haoling for the sake of the people of the world and his daughter. This was originally his ultimate goal of training you to become an emperor. What a pity..."

"No, not at all, Grandpa. In this world, it doesn't matter who sits between me and Xiaoyao. In fact, Xiaoyao does better than me. Three hundred years ago, when I first met Xiaoliu, I suspected she was Xiaoyao, but she fooled me. And the look of disdain that Xiaoyao's master gave me, she should know everything. Xiaoyao and her master have governed Haoling very well. Over the past few hundred years, Xiaoyao has done a lot. She traveled all over Haoling, teaching the people how to grow crops, how to make money, how to recognize herbs, and how to teach doctors medical skills. She and her master treated the people, adopted orphans, and rescued demon slaves. And I did nothing. I only thought of relying on her protection to return to Xiyan and seize power. I didn't do anything for the people at all. I only cared about myself. If it weren't for her, Xiangliu would have killed me a thousand times. How could he have the interest to tease me for fun? If my embarrassment can make her feel less wronged, I am willing to bear it. This is what I owe her. It's good now, isn't it? Grandpa, my aunt is still alive. As long as we sincerely repent, they will forgive us!"

"hope so…"

Huangdi thought of what Ah Heng said before he left, and his heart ached again. After all, he messed up everything.

"I want to go see A-lao..."

"Grandpa...I'll go with you."

"it is good…"

The two of them hid it from everyone, took a dozen secret guards, and rode a cloud chariot to a mountain behind Xiyan Mountain. The mountain was overgrown with weeds, and a few lonely tombs stood halfway up the mountain.

Huangdi knelt in front of Leizu, reached out his trembling hand and gently stroked the moss-covered tombstone. In the end, he shamelessly came to apologize.

"A-Lao, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I don't ask for your forgiveness. I know you don't want to see me again in this life. I have let you down..."

The emperor who was proud throughout his life and never bowed his head, wept bitterly in front of the tombstone.

But apart from Xuan, no one would forgive him, not even the deceased Leizu...

Wrong is wrong...
