The expression on Xiao Mi's face froze when he heard this. He was about to speak, but he couldn't help but coughed, and his white handkerchief instantly turned red.
The corners of his eyes were red due to the severe cough, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.
"Shi An really said that?"
The voice was hoarse and slightly trembling.
"It is indeed what the princess said..."
"No, no! I will never agree!"
Xiao Mi suddenly became furious. He could not accept such a severe punishment of never being able to see each other again.
The past five years have been the limit, and he can't hold on any longer.
"You have promised me that as long as I complete the five-year agreement, you will completely tie me to Shi An for life and death. If you break your promise, I will come to accompany you in this world. Without Shi An, what will I do in this world?
"
Xiao Mi's eyes were about to burst, and he coughed up blood again after speaking.
"He won't die from coughing up blood, right?"
Yu Shuyue, who was floating in the air, saw this and said worriedly. It was really scary to see Xiao Mi's crazy look and the way he seemed to be coughing out all his internal organs.
"No, if he dies now, nothing will happen later."
Qi Xiuyao couldn't see her being nervous about Xiao Mi, no matter what the reason was.
Seeing the pain and anger of the man who had exactly the same face as him, he felt no emotion at all. He even thought that they could go straight to the topic and clear up Ah Yue's doubts earlier.
In this way, Ah Yue will no longer set her sights on him.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I say slowly."
Looking at him as if he would die in the next second, Huairang quickly recited a meditation mantra to him to calm him down.
Just now he was interrupted hastily before he finished speaking, and now he continued.
"I have not agreed to Princess Shi'an's request. The bond between you two cannot be broken so easily. If I forcibly break the bond between you two, I may not be able to do it even if I spend my entire life practicing."
Although Xiao Mi had stopped coughing now, his dark eyes with red bloodshot eyes were staring at Huairang, as if he would fight him desperately as long as what he said was not what he wanted.
"Princess Shi'an knew that the connection between you could not be severed, and she was depressed for a long time. Originally, I told her that in the next life, your majesty and the princess would be able to get together smoothly, but the princess hesitated for a long time and still rejected my proposal.
"
Although Xiao Mi had no choice but to meet Jiang Guo in battle, Shi An knew his difficulties. He was just an abandoned son abandoned by the Emperor of Qi.
But even though he had come to Jiang State as a hostage, his brothers still wouldn't let him go.
And if Xiao Mi hadn't returned to Qi State to take power in the end, I'm afraid the people of Jiang State would have faced even more ruthless killings.
After all, his two elder brothers and one younger brother are not good people. Each one is more ruthless than the other and loves to kill.
So Shi An was grateful to Xiao Mi deep down in his heart.
Her father was a good father, but not a good emperor.
Sooner or later, Jiang Guoguo would be destroyed in the hands of her father. This was something Shi An knew very well.
Therefore, she had no choice but to accept her fate as the country was eventually destroyed, and she did not resent Xiao Mi because of this incident.
She believed that he would be a good emperor and would bring stability and prosperity to the people of Jiang State.
What she couldn't accept was his deception and use, and even though she knew intellectually that the country's subjugation was inevitable, she still couldn't accept it emotionally.
Apart from deception and exploitation, the hatred for the country's subjugation is also inescapable.
Her father and mother were both dead, and there was a blood feud between them. How could she still be with him safely?
Therefore, even though what Master Huairang said moved her very much, in the end she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and rejected his kindness.
Even if she couldn't meet each other forever, she couldn't personally interfere with them and pray for their success in the next life.
All she could do was let nature take its course, and pray again that they would never meet again without believing in fate.
She is afraid, she is afraid that the next life will end the same as this life.
"Shi An really hates me so much that she doesn't even want to have anything to do with me in the next life."
After hearing Huairang's words, Xiao Mi looked blank and muttered to himself.
"Since Shi'an has already rejected your proposal, why do you want to make a five-year agreement with me?"
Shi An's request comes first. Although Xiao Mi doesn't want Huairang to help Shi An, he also wants to know why Huairang is willing to help him.
"I said that you two have a deep bond, but you can't have a good relationship in each life. When I first saw your majesty's deep love, I made an exception."
"Furthermore, the five-year agreement between Your Majesty and I is not to do things for Lao Monk. Your Majesty and the princess have been destined for ten lives, but the previous nine lives have not been able to have a good relationship. This is your third life."
"The reason why I made this agreement with Your Majesty is to allow Your Majesty to accumulate enough merit, so that I can help His Majesty's future love life be less bumpy."
"Then what should we do now?"
Huairang said so much, but Xiao Mi only remembered one sentence in his heart.
He and Shi An have been in love for ten lifetimes!
This made him so happy that he even ignored the second half of Huairang's sentence.
"Your Majesty will repair and expand Huayan Temple. In the future, Huayan Temple will be prosperous, and you will receive corresponding merits. Then build a stone chamber in the back mountain, and place your Majesty's hundred-year-old dragon body in the stone chamber together with Princess Shi'an.
The rest will be done by me."
Xiao Mi had no objections to his arrangement. Shi An was no longer here. Now, as long as he could seize a chance, they could meet in the next life.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, he is willing to try it.
"It turns out that the truth of the matter is actually like this."
Yu Shuyue looked at Xiao Mi's bright and expectant eyes in the quiet room and sighed slightly.
When Qi Xiuyao saw her looking at Xiao Mi with loving eyes, he suddenly became jealous and held her in his hands, turning her face to face him.
"Okay, okay, why don't I stop looking at him?"
Seeing his jealous look, Yu Shuyue smiled helplessly and followed his wishes.
Everything in the past life has become a thing of the past, and Yu Shuyue, who has solved all the doubts in her heart, no longer clings to the things of the past life.
In this life, her father and brother are both here. She and Qi Xiuyao have no hatred of family and country, and they can love each other as much as they want.
Qi Xiuyao enjoyed her doting on him very much. He happily held her hand tightly, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.
He glanced at the sick Xiao Mi in the quiet room, and for the first time he sincerely thanked him for all his efforts.
Because of his hard work, he is so lucky in this life.
Xiao Mi, who was coughing, seemed to feel something and looked up at the location where their souls were. There was nothing in the sky.
Xiao Mi frowned slightly, with an unpredictable expression.
"Your Majesty, that is the next life for you and the princess."
Huairang's words made Xiao Mi, who was already determined, even more impatient to follow his instructions.
In the following time, the souls of Yu Shuyue and Qi Xiuyao followed Xiao Mi.
After watching him deal with government affairs all day long, he also personally supervised the repair of Huayan Temple and the stone chamber at the back of the mountain. The illness on his face became more and more obvious, and his symptoms of coughing up blood became more and more serious.
Not only was Yu Shuyue feeling uncomfortable at this time, but Qi Xiuyao was also looking at himself in the previous life with a deep look in his eyes and an unpredictable expression.
Finally, after everything was completed, an expression of relief and yearning appeared on Xiao Mi's face, and he finally passed away on a morning with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
With Xiao Mi's death, they both returned to their own bodies.
