Ling Zhou's loud voice rang out, and everyone in the family came over.
But all of them had sadness on their faces, and some had red eyes and shed tears.
"Why are everyone crying? Who bullied you?"
Just as he was talking, he saw Yan Jin coming in with red eyes, and Lingzhou was completely shocked.
"What's going on? Why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'll kill him!"
Yan Jin, his female bandit general's wife, shed blood with sweat but no tears.
Yan Jin actually cried. How could he make the researcher cry?
"Who made you cry? Tell me!" Ling Zhou said in an angry tone.
Yan Jin looked at Ling Zhou, tears welling up in his eyes again: "Ling Zhou, His Majesty and the Crown Prince passed away."
Seeing that Lingzhou didn't hear clearly, she amplified her voice.
"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince passed away!"
The voice was so loud that it resounded in Lingzhou's ears.
Lingzhou held his grandson's hand and slowly let go.
After the grandson stood firm, he carefully supported Lingzhou, fearing that he would be knocked down by the blow.
Lingzhou took a deep breath: "I heard you right, Yan Jin, you said that His Majesty and Zhou Buyan are dead?
Seeing Yan Jin nodding in tears, Ling Zhou suddenly ran out.
"I don't believe it. If I don't believe it, Your Majesty will leave!"
"It's impossible. I don't believe it. How is it possible?"
"We were so happy yesterday and we talked so much, how could it be possible?"
He strode out: "I don't believe it, I'm going to have a look."
"Wait a minute, you haven't changed your clothes yet."
Yan Jin stepped forward to stop Ling Zhou: "You have to change your clothes, Ling Zhou, please calm down."
Lingzhou looked at Yan Jin who stopped him, and for a moment he felt as if he had gone back to more than twenty years ago.
At that time, he also suddenly heard the news of Xiao Wang's death.
He didn't believe it, he rushed to the palace in such a hurry.
In the end, without any miracle, Xiao Wangzhen died.
More than twenty years later, he received news of the death of His Majesty and Zhou Buyan again.
He couldn't believe it, but everything told him that it was true.
Why... why do they always leave so early? Xiao Wang died young, and His Majesty and Zhou Buyan also left so early.
He is obviously still so young, but he hasn't asked them to go around together yet. They should have been together for ten or twenty years.
Xiao Wang left, and so did His Majesty and Zhou Buyan.
It seems that those lively days in the palace are still in front of me, so why did I leave...
Lingzhou walked out in a daze, his steps unsteady.
"Lingzhou, change your clothes first and calm down."
Yan Jin pulled Lingzhou back and changed clothes for the dumb Lingzhou.
Looking at Ling Zhou's appearance, Yan Jin wanted to say a few words of comfort, but her throat was completely frozen and she couldn't speak at all.
She felt so uncomfortable, feeling bad for Lingzhou.
She and His Majesty the Crown Prince have become familiar with each other over the years, which is why she was so sad after hearing the news of their deaths.
She was so sad, not to mention Ling Zhou, who had grown up together when they were young, and later trusted each other and supported each other through the journey.
They have the deepest friendship and the best relationship between monarch and minister.
More than twenty years ago, Lingzhou sent away Xiao Wang, but many years later, Lingzhou sent away Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan.
His best friends and partners in this life were the three of them, but now they are all gone.
Only Lingzhou is left.
From now on, he could no longer look forward to letters, complain to her about where they were going, or receive special products from them.
Lingzhou sent them away one after another, leaving him alone.
How uncomfortable he must be.
Sometimes, the people left behind are the most pitiable.
Zhou Buyan could go with His Majesty, but Lingzhou could not and could only bear it alone.
How can a few words comfort such pain?
In the end, Yan Jin could only hug Ling Zhou: "Ling Zhou, you can cry if you want. Don't be afraid. I'm with you and I will always be with you."
She will definitely live until the end, until Ling Zhou dies.
She would not let Lingzhou send her away again, leaving him alone after sending everyone away.
She didn't want Lingzhou to feel the pain of saying goodbye again.
Don't leave him alone again.
In Yan Jin's warm embrace, Lingzhou Lao burst into tears.
"They were so cruel that they left one by one."
"After Xiao Wang left, I said I would leave first and never experience that kind of pain again, and His Majesty agreed."
"She left in the end, and so did Zhou Buyan. Why did she leave?"
"Once these two people are gone, I won't even have anyone to argue with or write letters to anymore."
"I look forward to returning to Feng'an City every year and looking forward to meeting them. Who should I look forward to in the future?"
"I originally thought that we would also retreat and walk around with them, but it turned out that they didn't give me this chance at all, let alone wait for me."
Yan Jin patted Lingzhou's back, who was crying like a child, and comforted him again and again: "It's okay, I'll wait for you, and I'll be there, Lingzhou, you'll still have me."
On the other side, Shen Cangzhu, who had no problem with his ears, heard the bell.
He was drinking tea when the bell rang.
When the bell fell, he already knew what was going on.
Baopu, who had turned white at the temples, hurried over and said, "Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have passed away."
The cup in his hand suddenly fell.
The scalding hot tea he was still blowing burned his whole body, but Shen Cangzhu didn't seem to notice.
"I heard it. I thought I heard it wrong. Your Majesty and Zhou Buyanduo are still so young. How come..."
"Maybe I heard it wrong or conveyed it wrongly..."
He was denying it, but he was already in tears.
Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou met in front of the palace gate. After they saw each other, they were silent for a moment.
Ling Zhou's eyes were red and he showed an expression that looked like he was crying or smiling.
Shen Cangzhu wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
These people left one by one.
Xiao Wang left, and now His Majesty and Zhou Buyan have also left.
In the end, only he and Ling Zhou were left.
There were five people, but in the end only two of them were left.
They left, but those who stayed had to see them off one by one.
Entering the palace, Ling Zhou and Shen Cangzhu saw the small ice cube with red eyes.
I also met Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan.
Both of them looked peaceful, as if they were just sleeping.
Zhou Buyan's hand kept holding Chu Xingchen's hand and never let go.
"Born in the same year, the same month and the same day, and died in the same year, the same month and the same day."
"They did it."
Zhou Buyan devoted his whole life to Chu Xingchen.
On this day, the entire palace was filled with mourning.
With the palace as the center, the mourning spread outwards one by one.
The entire Feng'an City turned white in the snow.
The screams shook the sky.
Those older people who had lived a good life because of Chu Xingchen knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
There are also countless eunuchs and palace people who are taking care of themselves in peace and contentment. Their heads are white and their backs are bent, facing the direction of the palace, crying bitterly.
Because they went to school, countless men and women, old and young, changed their destinies. They all consciously put on mourning clothes and burst into tears.
The news began to spread from Feng'an City, and the Dachu Newspaper urgently printed more copies to make the news public.
From this day on, wherever the news spread, so did the cries.
In the end, the entire Dachu was only white, without any bright color.
This is probably the meaning of Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan's life.
After Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan were buried, the old and yellowed diary belonging to Zhou Buyan, as well as the notebook recording the stories told by Chu Xingchen, were left behind by small ice cubes.
She would read these books every day and always laugh out loud.
After it became ridiculous, it started to feel uncomfortable again.
She has truly become a child without parents.
When she missed them so much that she couldn't help but go to the imperial mausoleum to visit them.
I found that the leaves of the two pine trees originally planted in front of the grave were pushing towards each other, and they were dependent on each other.
A breeze blew and the two trees got closer.
The wind blew the diary left by Zhou Buyan, and it happened to reach the last page.
It was written on the day of his sixtieth birthday, when he and Chu Xingchen were celebrating their birthday.
"Be with us in life, and we will be with you after death."
"I wish that Your Majesty and I would be born on the same day, same year, same month, and die on the same day, same year, same month."
That was the only wish he made and the last wish in his life.
