Zhou Li left gracefully, not missing his precious daughter at all.

The little guy pesters the queen every day, and he has less chances to be alone with the queen. Now it's all right, killing two birds with one stone.

He was relieved to hand over his daughter to Qin Chu, just as he was relieved to hand over the government affairs to Qiu Jinning to decide.

Apart from the queen, these two people were the ones who reassured him the most. Unfortunately, Qin Chu was the only one left now.

God is jealous of talents!

Zhou Li sighed and shook his head, making up his mind to let his daughter stay with Qin Chu for a few more days.

The little princess glanced at her father, remembered her mission, as if she saw countless days in the future when she could go out of the palace to play, and hugged Qin Chu's neck tightly: "Auntie, please smile more."

Smile more, and the emperor will allow her to go out of the palace to play.

Qin Chu glanced at the little guy in his arms, with a smile on his face: "Hey, go play with Auntie Guanzi, okay?"

After all, she looked at the jar.

The jar immediately covered his stomach: "Oh, my servant suddenly has a stomachache." He glanced at the green medicine beside him.

Thin maid hurriedly ran with me, the master finally showed a smiling face, please don't do anything bad.

Luyao received her signal, and hurried over: "Oh, fat maid, do you care? I'll help you find a doctor. Don't be seriously ill."

The two little maids walked away on their own.

The little princess seemed to know that Qin Chu wanted to hand her over to someone else, so she said with an aggrieved face, "I want to be with Aunt Qin, I don't want others to hug her."

Qin Chu pursed his lips, carried the little guy back to the room.

The decoration and furnishings in the room remained unchanged, exactly the same as when Qiu Jinning was there.

The only thing that changed was an extra tablet with no temperature on the bed, and a few pieces of clothing placed beside the pillow.

Neatly folded, Qiu Jinning's clothes.

Although the little princess was young, she was very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Qin Chu didn't want to talk, she obediently played by herself and looked at Qin Chu from time to time.

I wonder why this Aunt Qin is always unhappy.

Late at night, Qin Chu told the little guy a little story and coaxed her to sleep.

Then he got up and went to the study with Qiu Jinning's tablet in his arms.

Nothing had changed in the study either, the only addition was a portrait on the wall.

Qin Chu sat on the floor with the tablet in his arms, staring up at Qiu Jinning's portrait.

Her Jinning made her live a good life alone, so gentle and so cruel.

But the life without Qiu Jinning is so difficult, so difficult, she doesn't know how to survive day by day.

The door of the study room was closed tightly, and the candlelight was shaking, reflecting the smiling person on the portrait and Qin Chu who was crying silently on the ground.

Qin Chu hugged the tablet tightly in his arms, his shoulders trembling.

"Jinning-Jinning-I miss you so much-"

The suppressed cry sounded, and the pot, which was about to open the door and call for the master to rest early, stopped.

Guan Zi took a few steps back, sat on the stone steps, looked at the starry sky, as if he could see another person far away from the galaxy: "Slender maid, I feel so sad."

Lu Yao wiped the tear-wet corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, sat next to the jar, and took her arm: "Don't cry, my young lady will definitely be sad when she sees it. Let's cheer up and guard the master well."

In this way, the lady can rest assured.

Yan Zi hugged her shoulders and nodded slowly: "You're still talking about me, who is the one who whimpers as soon as the master cries."

She is now the chief steward of the Qin residence, but she is not happy at all.

Because one master is missing...

They had to guard Qin Chu and watch carefully, so that Qiu Jinning's painstaking efforts and cruelty would not be in vain.

Three days later, Zhou Li came to pick up his daughter back to the palace. The little guy looked at Qin Chu with a calm expression, and poked Qin Chu's chin with his little finger.

"Auntie, please smile more."

Qin Chu started to laugh, but as if he had no soul, the smile didn't reach his eyes, he was just completing the act of laughing.

The little guy sighed, this aunt is so difficult to coax, the emperor, the queen, and everyone in the palace are happy to see her.

Only this aunt Qin is not really happy, woo woo woo, aunt is bad.

Children are always the most sensitive to emotions. The little princess who was frustrated here in Qin Chu also put on a face in the first few days after returning to the palace, looking mature and cute.

On this day, Zhou Li listened to reports from his subordinates as usual, including but not limited to, Qin Chu walked three times without looking at the carriage, was almost hit, stood in front of the window twice, and almost fell off...

He rubbed his head, and said in a deep voice: "Give me a good look at the person, if you get hurt a little, you don't have to come back."

The guards took the order with fists in their hands and left, continuing to stare at Qin Chu, for fear that this person would be stupid.

Zhou Li then came to Kunning Palace, frowning and worrying: "Jin'er, she seemed to cheer up, busy with the business of the Qin family all day, as if she didn't know she was tired, but no matter how she looked, she didn't look like she really came out., seems to follow Qiu Jinning at any moment, what should I do."

With just this little friend, he might have promised Qiu Jinning that he would be optimistic about Qin Chu, but it was so difficult.

If Qiu Jinning knew that Qin Chu was in such pain after he left, he wondered if he would regret his decision to leave for a year.

Queen Li lowered her eyebrows in thought, and finally shook her head helplessly.

This kind of thing depends on the person concerned to come out on his own, and no one else can understand it. I hope time can dilute everything.

Zhou Li's eyes turned, and he had an idea. The next day, he called Qin Chu into the palace, pointed to a row of pretty girls and said, "Qin Chu, see if I'm interesting enough, look more, the world is notOnly Qiu Jinning is a woman."

If Qin Chu could fall in love with other women, he would probably be happy, and that's what Qiu Jinning wanted to see.

Qin Chu glanced lightly, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Jin Ning will be sad."

Zhou Li paused, smiled and said: "How come, Qiu Aiqing sees that you are living a happy life, and it's too late to be happy."

"She will be sad." Qin Chu looked up at the sky, as if he could see her Jin Ning hiding behind the clouds.

Jin Ning will be sad, and she will be sad too, she only has one heart, and she can't hold others anymore.

Zhou Li's face froze, and he waved his hands to make everyone retreat.

"Qin Chu, you have to live a good life..." Halfway through the words, he himself felt that it was cruel, the dead were dead, but the living lost their loved ones, how hard it must be.

He couldn't persuade...

Qin Chu took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's kindness, Qin Chu accepts it, and those people who have been sent to guard me should withdraw. I will live a good life in the future. As long as it is what Jin Ning wishes, I willdo it."

Do your best not to let her Jin Ning down.

Seeing her promise so solemnly, Zhou Li felt relieved, but the person sent to guard still did not withdraw.

The daughter grew up day by day, and like his queen, she was extremely intelligent and calm, and she was already adept at the court when she was a teenager, taking on the responsibility of the prince.

Zhou Li pushed all the memorials to his daughter for review, calling it exercise.

In front of a tomb on the back mountain of Qingshiguan, Luyao glanced at Qin Chu who had been guarding the memorial tablet and tombstone all night, and went back to look for the jar.

On the way, Guan Zi and two servants were walking this way, dragging several baskets of paper money.

"Fat maid, what are you buying so much paper money for, who do you want to smoke to death by burning so much?"

Guan Zi glared at her: "This isn't a coffin shop opening. Buy one basket and get one free. Just in time for the festival, I bought more."

In this way, Qiu Jinning is not short of money in the sky.

Although there is no shortage, after all, her master comes to burn incense and paper every now and then.

Buy one get one free!

Lu Yao helped lift the basket: "Then why don't you buy a few more baskets, you really don't know how to live."

The two little maids came to the tomb noisily, and saw Qin Chu leaning against the tombstone as if he had fallen asleep, with a peaceful expression on his face.

"Master, master, wake up, don't catch cold." Guan Zi called out, seeing that Qin Chu hadn't woken up, he stretched out his hand to push it.

The person who fell asleep did not respond, and the tablet in his arms slipped silently.

"Master! Master!"

The cry of the little maid suddenly resounded in front of the tombstone...

Early in the morning, Zhou Li came to Kunning Palace after attending court, held up his teacup and sighed: "Time flies, it has been eighteen years since Qiu Aiqing passed away, in a few years, let's pass the throne to our little princess, I will take you to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, also called Qin Chu, and go to the happy rivers and lakes together."

Empress Li looked at him smiling without saying a word, her eyes full of love.

Zhou Li lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and saw a little eunuch rushing in.

"Your Majesty, Qin Chu, she..."

The cup in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhou Li stood up suddenly, almost unable to stand still due to excessive force: "What did you say? What happened to Qin Chu? Say it again."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the person sent to guard Qin Chu came to report. Qin Chu sat withered in front of Prime Minister Qiu's tomb holding the memorial tablet all night. In the morning... only in the morning did he realize that the person had gone."

Zhou Li sat down with his head supported, and murmured: "Look at my brain, I even forgot that yesterday was Qiu Aiqing's memorial day, and I forgot to accompany Qin Chu, she must have been very lonely last night."

After eighteen years of loneliness, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Queen Li got up, walked up to Zhou Li, and hugged him into her arms.

Zhou Li lowered her head, her tone trembling: "Jin'er, it seems that the two of us will be the only ones to go to the happy rivers and lakes from now on. That insincere Qin Chu, how could she... how could she..."

The person in his arms was rarely crying, because of his only partner, and because of the promise he made to Qiu Jinning, he didn't know whether it was relief or sadness.

Empress Li patted him on the shoulder and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, they must have gone to another world, they will meet again and love each other again, we should be happy, Qin Chu must have gone to find Qiu Jinning."

Zhou Li wiped the corners of his eyes and raised his head: "You're right, Qin Chu must have gone to find Qiu Jinning. If she doesn't go to Qiu Jinning, I will never forgive her. She is so miserable alone..."

so bitter...

After struggling for eighteen years, the love is endless...

After Qin Chu's death, Zhou Li stopped thinking about abdicating early and took his daughter to govern the government together.

The national power of the Baiyue has reached unprecedented prosperity, and all nations come to congratulate it.

Another Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Li took Empress Li to the tombstone outside Qingshi Temple.

The pine tree in front of the tomb has grown to the height of two people, surrounding the tombstone, guarding the two people who share the same cave.

Zhou Li opened the jug, sprinkled it on the ground, and drank the wine in the jug with red eyes.

"Qin Chu, I'm here to drink with you again. You and Qiu Aiqing must live well in another world. Don't suffer so hard in your next life."

"Your Majesty, my condolences..." Empress Li held Zhou Li's arm.

Zhou Li put down the jug, took Queen Li's hand, and left slowly.

As the twilight was sinking, Zhou Li looked back at the pine tree that was about to be swallowed by the twilight.

Qin Chu has also left, and he will spend his whole life realizing his ambition of becoming an emperor through the ages, and spending his whole life loving his Jin'er.

"The end of the episode"

"to speak"

Tomorrow, Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning’s parallel cultivation time and space and modern day-to-day life will start. I plan to finish the full text of this month. I love you all.?
