NovelEnglishChapter 2265: Love transcending a thousand years (Part 9)
Early winter.
The snowflakes fell like goose feathers from the sky. She narrowed her eyes as her heart filled with mixed feelings.
It wasn’t love and it wasn’t dislike.
She was wearing a purple silver lined dress with a single beaded hairpin in her long hair. She was that beautiful standing in the snow.
The route that she took in the palace was very familiar. She walked past the imperial gardens filled with plum blossoms, with the court and the Supreme Hall to the left and Mo Ye’s bedroom to the right.
His health had been getting worse these days and he couldn’t even get out of bed.
When Luo Qing Chen walked to his side step by step, his eyelids moved, but they never opened.

Now that Mo Ye was this sick, there was no cure.
Luo Qing Chen put down the book and took a deep breath as her eyes turned red.
No way, no way, no way.
She didn’t have a way to change the ending, she could only wait for his death.
This really was a suffocating matter......
Three days later, on the winter solstice.
Mo Ye’s eunuch Li came to the Shimmering Hall looking for her, bringing her news that Mo Ye had woken up.
This might be his last time waking up!
“You’re here!” His voice was very soft, almost having no strength at all, but he still reached out to take her hand.
He had once been the most handsome man in the Mo Dynasty, but now his hair had turned white.
The maid brought the soup, but she shook her head, “Take it away.”
It didn’t matter if he drank it or not now.
But he opened his eyes and said in a proud voice, “This is something that you made for me, I have to drink it.”
She didn’t say anything as she watched him drink this soup before leaning on her shoulder.
The cold wind came from outside and she trembled as she felt a bit of fear.
He struggled to pick up a quilt which he used to wrap her up with, “After I’m gone, you have to take care of yourself. You should eat what you want and don’t force yourself to eat when you’re full. Don’t be afraid, I’ve taken care of everything here, including the guards that they worry about the most.”
“Emperor, don’t speak nonsense......” She forced out a gentle tone, but her heart twisted which felt very uncomfortable.
“I’m about to die, I know that.” He slowly raised his hand and his cool voice had a tremble in it as he touched her face, “Don’t be afraid, no one can bully you.”
Luo Qing Chen’s eyes trembled. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare say a word.

Although it was the previous host’s story, she felt sad experiencing it now.
“Silly girl, I’m girl.....” His voice tremble as he used his final bit of strength to say by her ear word for word, “This life that I owe you might not be over yet, if there is a next life......”
He paused as his voice choked up and he took her in his embrace, “I’ll still pay you back, alright?”
Next life, next life, next life......
Such a distant promise. What they couldn’t achieve in this life even with all their effort, what use was trying in the next life?
“You......Promise me......”
He finally spoke after a long silence, as if he was waiting for her answer.
He owed her too much. The feeling of guilt made him unable to like anyone else and he couldn’t like anyone else.
In the end, there had to be an ending.
Luo Qing Chen bit her lip and said, “Alright.”
