Chapter 481: Passer-by in Life
Ye Jintang thought for a moment and decided to tell Xiao Mo about Emperor Jing's physical condition.
"Let the grudges of the previous generation be buried with the death of the late emperor. You should also let go of some of Brother Xiao's hatred."
"Besides, the late emperor is already stupid. No matter what you do to him, he won't be able to feel it at all."
Xiao Mo, sitting on the chair, remained silent. He silently looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
His heart was like the downpour, making him wet and sticky.
It can be said that he hated Emperor Jing, he really hated him and wanted to cut him into pieces.
But he remembered that he used to ride on his neck and play when he was a child.
Among all the princes, he was probably the only one who had ridden on Emperor Jing's neck.
"Forget it. The late emperor fell into the underground river a long time ago and is nowhere to be found. He is just an old man we saved as we passed by. When the rain stops, we will take him back to the capital."
"As for how long he can live, that depends on his luck."
Xiao Mo sighed slightly. For a generation of emperor to end up like this could be considered as atonement for the mistakes he had made.
Emperor Jing's physical condition was much worse than what Master Mu had seen.
He was hungry, so Ye Jintang asked someone to prepare a bowl of meat porridge. However, he took only one sip and vomited it all out. In the end, he could only drink rice porridge.
According to Zhuang Guilian, ever since she rescued the man, she could not eat any meat, and even eating a few more steamed buns would make her stomach uncomfortable. They begged along the way, and could only get a bowl of thin porridge to survive.
Ye Jintang sighed in his heart that life is unpredictable. Emperor Jing had eaten delicacies from land and sea for most of his life, but in the end he could only drink a mouthful of thin porridge.
The heavy rain continued until the evening. The group was unable to leave that day and could only stay in Shitou Village temporarily and set off early the next morning.
Xiao Mo asked people to take Emperor Jing and Zhuang Guilian to another carriage, as he didn't want to see him.
Ever since Emperor Jing joined the carriage team, Xiao Mo became taciturn. Occasionally, he would hear some news about Emperor Jing from Ye Jintang.
A heavy rain caused Emperor Jing to catch a cold. Even after taking the pills made by Ye Jintang, he did not get better. He kept having intermittent fever and occasionally talked nonsense.
After hearing about this, Xiao Mo said nothing. When he set up camp to rest at night, he quietly went to see Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing, who was lying on the wooden bed, had a head full of white hair and his cheeks were so thin that he looked unrecognizable. It seemed as if he was only hanging on to one breath.
"Lingyu, I am sorry for you. If there is an afterlife, please let me be a kitten or puppy that you raise by your side, just to be able to stay with you for a short period of time."
"It's good that you can think like this, old man. The late queen was such a dazzling girl back then. She was willing to break her wings and live with you in the deep palace. You must have earned this great blessing in your previous life. It's a pity that you didn't seize it."
"I wanted to take you with me to beg for a few more years, but it seems that this is not possible. You have ruined your body by yourself, and you can't bear such a little hardship."
Zhuang Guilian sighed, sat down next to Emperor Jing, and fed him medicine.
"Lingyu, why are you sighing? Don't you want me to be your little cat or dog? You hate me so much, but I can't help myself."
Emperor Jing seemed to have suffered a shock, and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
Zhuang Guilian hurried to coax him.
"I'll let you be the puppy, I'll let you be the puppy. You can be the puppy as you like."
"Then I'll be a puppy. I'll bite anyone who bullies you."
Perhaps it was because of the medicine, Emperor Jing kept talking about useless things and soon fell asleep.
Xiao Mo, who was outside the tent, immediately became alert when he heard her words.
"Who the hell are you?"
Xiao Mo strode into the tent. Zhuang Guilian was not afraid of him. She stood up and saluted him. Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she simply told him everything.
"When I was young, I received favors from the late queen. I also heard from Marquis Danyang about how the late emperor treated the late queen."
"That day when I rescued the late emperor from the river, I recognized him at a glance. Thinking back to the sufferings that the late queen had endured, I saw that the late emperor was not smart, so I deliberately took him to beg everywhere and live a hard life to atone for the late queen's sins."
"I said that although his health was not good when he was in the palace, he had always taken good care of himself. How could he become like this in just a few months? It seems there is a reason for it."
"It was me who did it. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. I am not afraid of death as long as I am left with a life. It is a pity that I did not see the death of the late emperor."
Zhuang Guilian thought Xiao Mo wanted to kill her, but she didn't expect Xiao Mo to just snort coldly.
"I won't kill you, just take good care of him."
With that, Xiao Mo turned and left.
For a moment, Xiao Mo even thought that it would not be a bad idea to let Emperor Jing live a few more years. It would be even better if he could wake up.
However, Xiao Mo's idea was just a thought. Five days later, on a sunny morning, Emperor Jing of Tian Qin State died of a sudden illness.
Xiao Mo sent his secret guards to dig a hole in the wilderness and bury the person. As for the imperial mausoleum, he could not enter.
The imperial mausoleum can only belong to Queen Jiang alone, so Emperor Jing should not disturb her peace. He believes that Queen Jiang does not want to see Emperor Jing, the man who made her sad.
The appearance of Emperor Jing was like a flash in the pan, and with his death, everything about him gradually disappeared.
After a brief moment of confusion and entanglement, Xiao Mo quickly adjusted his state. He was now the emperor of Tianqin Kingdom, so how could he worry about an irrelevant person?
As for Zhuang Guilian, Ye Jintang did not cause trouble for her because she lied about her knowledge of Emperor Jing. On the contrary, she kept her by her side, preparing to give Marquis Danyang a big surprise after returning to the capital.
The further east you go, the warmer the weather becomes, and people slowly change out of their heavy clothes and put on light spring clothes.
Ye Jintang and her group returned to the capital along the same route they took to Ningchuan City. Every time they passed a city with a Bencaotang medicine shop, she would leave some wheat seeds, corn seeds, and cotton seeds for everyone to use for winter sowing.
By the time they arrived at Luo Jiucheng, the wheat and corn seeds in Ye Jintang's space were almost empty.
She was secretly shocked in her heart. This was a level four space, and she had been planting various crops for 12 hours in recent months. But even so, after distributing the grain seeds to several cities, the grain seeds in her space had run out.
It is not difficult to feed the people of a small Ningchuan Prefecture, but it is difficult to feed the people of the entire Tianqin State.
She was exhausted just distributing grain seeds in a few major cities in the northwest, not to mention the entire Tianqin Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't know when her space would be able to be upgraded to level five. By then, the farmland area would be expanded and she would be able to relax a little.
She can't always use the space to grow food, she also wants to grow some medicinal herbs.
