“Han Ye Your Highness, you just said that Zaozao has the fate to die young. So now she...”
“Divine Doctor Ji, matters of fate cannot be spoken too much. You hearing it would not benefit you or me. I only hope that after my death, there will be someone who can wholeheartedly take care of my Zhuzhu.”
After speaking, Han Ye walked towards Lin Zaozao’s room.
His time really was running out!
But he had only just met his Zhuzhu.
They had only just met and now he had to leave.
He really was very unwilling!
Han Ye sat in front of Lin Zaozao’s bed, looking at her now palm-sized baby face, his eyes full of laughter.
“Zhuzhu, when you were very small, we had worshipped together with that rascal Han Xibei. You had promised to let us be your husbands.
But Zhuzhu, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do that. My time is up, I can’t accompany you on the rest of the journey.
When you were little, after Uncle Zhang took you away, whenever I had time I would secretly go to Canglan Country to see you. At that time, the poison in your body tormented you and made you cry continuously, cry continuously.
Whenever you cried, you would shout that you were hungry, so I could only continuously feed you. I knew that you eating too much was not good, but I couldn’t bear to see you cry.
Later when I left, Dashan and Uncle Zhang, obeying my orders, forcibly fed you into becoming a little fatty.
Zhuzhu, a dying man like me should not have come to see you. But I couldn’t resist and personally came to meet you.
Zhuzhu, I have already lived two lifetimes, and don’t know if I’ll have a third. If Heaven really does give me a third lifetime, you must wait for me to let me be your husband, okay?”
What answered Han Ye was only the soft sounds of snoring.
“Zhuzhu, I have already prepared Han Country’s affairs. I only have to wait for you to return, and under Uncle Zhang’s support you will definitely be able to smoothly become Han Country’s female monarch.
The priests in the Sacrificial Hall, although they are priests, secretly they are your most loyal bodyguards.
With them there, none of Han Country’s civil and military officials would dare make trouble in front of you.
It’s a pity that I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you sit on that supreme position. But with Uncle Zhang and Han Xibei there, they will do their utmost to help you.
As for repaying past grievances with Canglan Country and Fengshuo Country’s female monarchs, although Han Xibei and I cannot intervene between you and them, I have already embedded a lot of spies in those two countries.
If you are unhappy with them in the future, those spies can also assist you in unifying Han Country.
If you don’t wish to unify Han Country, then those spies will become your bargaining chips to control Canglan and Fengshuo’s two countries. If Canglan Country’s female monarch dares obstruct you from returning home, Big Brother Han Ye will make her pay the price.
There is another thing, Zhuzhu. I’m sorry but I have to break my word again. I had promised that we would always be together. But now, I have to go. Zhuzhu, you must be happy this lifetime.”
After speaking, Han Ye stroked Lin Zaozao’s forelocks, bent down and lightly kissed her red lips before turning to leave the room.
Outside, Uncle Zhang waited with Dashan by the door.
“Prince Han Ye, is there really no way? Don’t you have the celestial skills? How could we have not saved you!”
Uncle Zhang looked at the jade-like gentleman before him, unable to keep the sorrow from his tone. Such a godlike character would soon disappear.
“Uncle Zhang, to alter fate glyhs one must use life to buy life. I use my life to save Zhuzhu, I feel that it’s quite worth it.
After I’m gone, if Zhuzhu asks for me in the future, then tell her that after being the High Priest for over a dozen years I was too tired and went to roam the mountains and rivers.”
“Alright, I understand.” Uncle Zhang replied. Then together with Dashan they knelt at Han Ye’s feet and solemnly said,
“Sendoff to Han Country’s High Priest!”
“Sendoff to Han Country’s High Priest!”
“No need to send me off. Come with me for a while Uncle Zhang, let Dashan stay here and look after Zhuzhu well!” Han Ye turned and looked at the teary-eyed Dashan before gently saying,
“Dashan, although you and Uncle Zhang are also people of the Sacrificial Hall, over a dozen years ago I had already sent you by Zhuzhu’s side.
Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must protect Zhuzhu’s safety in this lifetime.
If in the future Zhuzhu cannot hold Han Country, then abandon Han Country with her! Sitting on that supreme throne of Han Country’s isn’t something she must do.
At that time, you and Uncle Zhang will bring Zhuzhu beyond the Frontier Region. Over these years, I have already established my own power there. With that power, Zhuzhu can have a safe and wealthy life even in the Frontier Region.”
Dashan sobbed, “High Priest, why did you not use my life to exchange for the young miss’s? I think that you are much more useful than me!”
Han Ye’s face showed a flash of obscure laughter when he saw the tearful Dashan.
“Dashan, I am Han Country’s High Priest. Tampering with fate glyphs is not something anyone can accomplish. If everyone could exchange life for life, then all monarchs from ancient times onwards could have become undying.”
After speaking, Han Ye took another look towards Lin Zaozao’s sleeping room before walking outside.
Time was up, he should also be going.
The entire way until late afternoon while sleeping, Lin Zaozao was suddenly woken up by the system’s repeated urgent notifications.
【Host, Host, your plague relief mission is complete. Quickly collect the system reward of one life-saving elixir pill! 】
【Mm... store it for me first. I’m so tired, I want to sleep.】
【You this foolish host, hurry up and get up! If you don’t get up soon, your husband cannot be saved!】
【What?】
Upon hearing the system’s words, Lin Zaozao opened her eyes wide and abruptly sat up from the bed.
【System, are you saying something happened to Xiao Taohua? Isn’t he outside the border city? How could something happen to him because of the plague?】
【It’s Han Ye. You two have worshipped each other since young. Han Ye the High Priest is properly your lawful husband. He has already died and is currently lying in the peach blossom woods ten li from the border city. If the host doesn’t go soon he will be buried by someone else!】
【Han Ye is my husband? He’s already dead? But System, you had said my husband would die from the plague! Han Ye wasn’t infected by the plague at all!】
【Host, to pave the road for you during this plague, Han Ye used up his remaining time and exhausted himself planning, precisely so you can smoothly become Han Country’s female monarch. If not for the plague how else would he die? If not for his exhaustion, with Han Ye the High Priest’s capabilities he might have lived a few more months!】
Lin Zaozao thought of that jade-like gentleman who had clearly been perfectly fine this morning. How could it be that by afternoon the system was telling her Han Ye had died?
【Host, if you feed Han Ye the life-restoring elixir pill you will instantly gain 100 jin. Are you still going to save him or not? 】
【Of course I must save him! Gaining 100 jin I can just lose weight. If his life is lost then everything would be gone too. And also, Han Ye still hasn’t told me why I feel so familiar when I see him!】
【Lazy pig host hurry up and go, system will point the way for you.】
【Alright alright, I’m going right now! Stupid system, hurry up and lead the way for this old lady!】
Lin Zaozao casually slipped on her shoes, lifted her skirt and rushed outside.
Upon just rushing outside, Lin Zaozao saw the serious-faced Dashan. Right now she was too impatient to ask Dashan why he looked wrong. She directly grabbed Dashan’s hand and said to him,
“Dashan, hurry up and use your Qinggong to carry me to a place. Super duper emergency, the faster the better!
“Little miss, where to?” Dashan sniffed and asked puzzledly.
“To the peach blossom woods ten li away, don’t waste time talking, let’s hurry and go!”
Although Dashan didn’t know why Lin Zaozao would know about matters ten li away at the peach blossom woods, when Dashan saw the urgency in Lin Zaozao’s eyes he knew she was aware that something had happened to Prince Han Ye.
Prince Han Ye had planned for over ten years just for the young miss, now that he had died, it was right that the young miss went to meet him one last time.
So Dashan grabbed Lin Zaozao’s hand and sped swiftly towards ten li away, hoping the young miss could see Prince Han Ye for the last time! Because Prince Han Ye really had a bitter decade.
In the Sacrificial Hall of Han Country, rather than representing the supreme power and faith of Han Country, it was more like a cage that imprisoned the High Priest.
Now the High Priest Han Ye has died, for him, it can also be considered as a relief! After all, he used his life day and night to resist the fate of the young master's premature death, how could he not suffer.
When Dashan took Lin Zaozao to the peach blossom forest ten miles away, Lin Zaozao saw Han Xibei and Uncle Zhang digging a pit with shovels.
"Little Xibei, Uncle Zhang, wait a minute, don't fill the soil first, wait a minute..."
When Lin Zaozao ran to Uncle Zhang's side, she snatched the shovel from Uncle Zhang's hand and was ready to dig the soil.
"Young Master, Han Ye has passed away. Rest in peace, just let him go!"
Uncle Zhang said while blocking Lin Zaozao to the side.
"Uncle Zhang, don't stop me. I have a way to save Han Ye. If you continue to obstruct, Han Ye may really die."
Hearing Lin Zaozao say that there was a way to save Han Ye, Little Xibei and Uncle Zhang were all incredulous.
How could the dead come back to life?
Moreover, the main reason why Han Ye died was because he exchanged his life for Lin Zaozao's fate, and then he died.
The more than ten years he lived were also obtained at a great price for them.
While Little Xibei and Uncle Zhang were stunned, Lin Zaozao desperately shook off Uncle Zhang's hand that was controlling her arm.
"Uncle Zhang, Little Xibei, let me try! If I can't save Han Ye, you can just bury him back!"
Lin Zaozao held the shovel and said to Dashan,
"Dashan, hurry up and help dig out Han Ye's coffin."
Hearing Lin Zaozao’s urgent voice, Little Xibei walked in front of her and asked anxiously,
"Zaozao, do you really have a way to save Han Ye?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I really have a way. Little Xibei, help me, hurry up and help dig the pit!"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's urgent voice, Han Xibei and Uncle Zhang looked at each other, then with a flick of their hands, the soil covering the coffin flew out.
Even the buried coffin flew out with it.
Looking at the golden coffin in front of her, Lin Zaozao touched it with her hand and swallowed.
Wow! Such a big lump of gold, it's really valuable!
When she dies, she will also get such a golden coffin to lie in. Sleeping in a golden coffin, she will definitely become a tycoon in her next life.
Coming back to her senses, Lin Zaozao pushed hard on the coffin lid but failed to open it. So when she exerted all her strength again, and was about to open the coffin lid with all her might, the coffin lid suddenly opened.
So Lin Zaozao couldn't stop her momentum and fell directly into the coffin.
After steadying herself in the coffin, the first thing Lin Zaozao saw was Han Ye who looked like he was sleeping.
Lin Zaozao put her finger under Han Ye's nose to check, he really wasn't breathing. Then Lin Zaozao touched Han Ye's hand again, it was icy cold without any warmth.
Han Ye, who was still well this morning, really died.
Human life is so fragile.
[System, where is the resurrection pill? Give it to me quickly.]
[Host, please accept.]
Looking at the small white pill in her hand, it looked crystal clear, with a faint light radiating from it, very beautiful.
As expected of the resurrection pill, the appearance is superior to ordinary pills.
Lin Zaozao pried open Han Ye's mouth and put the little pill in his mouth.
