Mu Yefan sat within the bedchamber and had always been taking care of Mu Haolin. However, Mu Haolin never showed any signs of waking up.

"Xiao Shunzi, you may leave."

"His royal highness the prince, this servant doesn't know anything else, but at least after you returned, the emperor has been very good to you."

"You may leave."

Mu Yefan was obviously not planning to say anything to Xiao Shunzi. In truth, he did not understand, that this person was the one who hurt him and hurt his family. But why, why did they have to speak up for this person?

It was just like what Xiao Shunzi had said. This Mu Haolin was extremely good to him, but so what about it? Could it be that if a person did the wrong thing, it would only be good for him to recover.

If that was the case, wouldn't it be a kind of redemption for the relatives of the people they killed if the murderers were acquitted without having to face the death penalty?

Mu Yefan didn't say anything, he only stood in place, and looked as if he had frozen. Until he heard Mu Haolin's cough, it was as if this emperor, who had been reigning for many years, had aged twenty years in an instant. His vitality completely faded, and Mu Yefan saw the chaos in his eyes.

"You're awake." Mu Yefan heard him speak, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

"Your Majesty …" I have something to tell you. "

Mu Haolin seemed to want to sit up, but he did not have the strength to sit up. He walked a few steps, and slowly helped Mu Haolin up, "What are you doing?

"Ye Fan, my body is getting worse and worse every day. In the future, I will depend on you."

"Does the emperor not want to know why your body is like this?"

Mu Yefan no longer called him royal father, but Mu Haolin acted as if he did not see anything, and looked at him with that kind eyes.

"Why?"

"Because I poisoned you." Mu Yefan stood beside Mu Haolin, his face carrying a bit of ruthlessness.

Mu Haolin didn't say anything, and there was no fear in his eyes either. He only asked along with Mu Yefan's voice, "Ye Fan didn't want royal father to ask why?"

Mu Yefan seemed to be frustrated, but he still asked, "Aren't you curious?"

"Then why did Ye Fan give me poison?"

"I am not your child. Although there is indeed an unclear relationship between you and my mother, I know that I am not your child. I am a child of the First Emperor."

"I already know that." It could even be said that he was very relaxed, "I have always been waiting for this day to come. Your mother was my first love, and the night I spent with her, she was already pregnant with you, so I know that you are not my child."

The one who had changed was Mu Yefan, "Then why, why didn't you expose me, you knew this all along …"

"Ye Fan, if I were to tell you what happened that year, I would feel that I have done wrong and would like to apologize to you. Do you believe me?"

"You know you did wrong?" Mu Yefan sneered, "You killed my father, so what if you know you're wrong? I remember that my father treated you well, but you didn't know how to repay him.

I know that there is nothing that I can do to solve it. However, after you return, I understand that even though I cannot do anything, since I have snatched everything back, I will naturally have to return it to you sooner or later. Think of it as redemption.

Mu Yefan was panicking a little. Only now did he realise that those things that he thought he was doing were known by the people at the start, and he himself even thought that he had done well. The person in front of him was his enemy, but the current situation left him helpless to do anything.

It was as if he had punched cotton. If Mu Haolin was still as ugly as he was in the past, he might have felt that everything was natural. However, Mu Haolin was still so calm now, as if he had been waiting for his own death.

"Ye Fan, when I was young, big brother liked you, and I like you as well. I know big brother is joking, big brother always says that you look like me, and indeed, you are. When you were young, you really looked exactly like big brother, and when I was young, I always played with big brother, and big brother is good to me, if not with big brother, there would be people who would bully me …"

"Then why did you do such a thing? Everything clearly can't happen, but why did you do this to my father?"

Because of jealousy, I feel like Big Brother got everything, but I didn't get anything, I will only feel regret and fear when I really get it. All those hopes from before vanished like smoke in thin air, I'm sorry, Ye Fan, it was I who caused you to have nowhere to live.

"I'm telling you, Mu Haolin, even if you say this, I won't have any sympathy for you."

"I'm not asking for your mercy." Mu Haolin said, but Mu Yefan was unable to endure it. He had a kind nature, so he was naturally unwilling to see such a thing happen.

He removed the spring water that he had always carried with him, "Mu Haolin, I really hate you. I wish I could kill you with my own hands, but I can't do it now."

Mu Haolin instantly smelt the smell of the spring water. Although he did not know what this was, he had smelled it at Bai Yixuan's place before, "This is white girl's medicine, right?"

"Cut the crap."

"Where's white girl? royal father agreed to let white girl marry Xiao Ziyi. You can't blame royal father, right?"

"Do you still want to be my royal father at this time?"

"I have always thought that if I had been a bit braver back then, perhaps Ling Er would have been my woman. Then, you might really be my son, but unfortunately, I can't really go back to that time."

"Drinking it can save our lives."

"Ye Fan, I have lived enough. I don't want to live anymore."

"What did you say?"

"Don't blame yourself, what you did was right, what you did was you killed your father, I am your enemy, I have almost killed you many times, luckily you had the protection of the gods, and have lived until now …"

"Mu Haolin, I'll let you drink the medicine."

"Ye Fan, you have to be a good emperor."

Mu Yefan stood in place without knowing what he should say, but it was a pity that no one would tell him what he should do.

The next morning, Bai Yixuan was released by Mu Yefan. After waiting for an entire night, Xiao Ziyi carried Bai Yixuan in her arms. Mu Beiche seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated, and in the end, did not say anything.

Mu Haolin went up to the court as usual, the entire imperial court was concerned about the emperor's body, but Mu Haolin kept on explaining the rest of the matters, he stood beside Mu Haolin and looked at the view from the royal throne.

Everyone knew that the Emperor was about to give up his throne, and that Mu Yefan was about to ascend to the throne.

On the third day, the news of Mu Haolin's death arrived. In an instant, the entire nation was filled with grief, including the royal daughter of the prince and the imperial concubines, as they all paid respects to Mu Haolin. Mu Beiche had not been able to see him since, because the current Mu Yefan was simply too busy.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial court was not surprised at all. After all, everyone had seen the Emperor's attitude towards Mu Yefan before.

Ever since Bai Yixuan followed him back to the Xiao family, she had been feeling uneasy. She did not know what had happened after that day, nor did she know how Mu Yefan was doing right now.

Because of the Emperor's new funeral, many things had to be simplified. Xiao Ziyi knew that Bai Yixuan was worried, but because her father was the Prime Minister, Xiao Ziyi had frequently been in the palace recently.

"Ziyi, you're back." Looking at the exhausted Xiao Ziyi, he asked. "His royal highness the prince is now …"

"Xiao Bai, you have to call for the emperor now. I don't know about the emperor's current situation, but he looks a lot more haggard."

"So it's like that." Bai Yixuan didn't say much, but Xiao Ziyi could tell that Bai Yixuan's heart was preoccupied with Mu Yefan.

"Xiao Bai, I plan to leave the imperial court after First Emperor's funeral. This place doesn't suit me at all.

Bai Yixuan nodded. Although she did not say it, Xiao Ziyi could tell that in his heart, Bai Yixuan was unwilling to part with this place. The only thing Bai Yixuan was unwilling to part with was Mu Yefan.

"Xiao Bai, I know what you're thinking." Xiao Ziyi laughed, "Actually, ever since the crown prince became the emperor, I have been thinking about this problem."

"What?" Bai Yixuan was a little absent-minded.

Xiao Ziyi's eyes carried a little unwillingness to part, he had always known that Bai Yixuan did not belong to him, and it was just a last test just now. Bai Yixuan was fundamentally unwilling to put even a little bit of thought into his heart, and even if it was to marry him, it would be worth it.

"There's something for you."

"What is it?" Bai Yixuan didn't know what Xiao Ziyi was talking about, but she could clearly feel the change in her emotions at this moment.

Xiao Ziyi gave Bai Yixuan a piece of paper, which confused him a little, and then opened up the paper. She never thought that the paper inside would actually be written with a letter of rest.

"Ziyi, you …"

Xiao Ziyi forced a smile, "What's wrong, Xiao Bai can't bear to part with me, so I'm taking it back."

"I'm sorry, Zi Yi. You, thank you, thank you for doing all this for me. I might not be able to repay you in this lifetime. Even if I'm with you, it wouldn't be fair. If there is an afterlife …"

"If there is an afterlife, then we have to make an agreement. You have to meet me first, not the emperor. I believe you'll fall in love with me first."

"Ziyi, he will."

"Xiao Bai, I know you have always liked the Emperor, but even though you are not by his side, I can still feel that you have always been thinking about the Emperor, and the Emperor also misses you. Since you are like him, why are the two of you so restrained about those things, and now that he is the Emperor, isn't everything still a simple thing to do?

It's a pity, I can't return to the past. Zi Yi, I still want to return to my village, but now, I feel that that place is really a pure land, I want to go back and argue with Aunt Liu, and listen to what she has to say. "

Xiao Ziyi sighed.

Bai Yixuan continued, "It's much simpler inside the Bai Yi Town. It's so quiet there, and I still want to go there to have a good time. I don't want to stay in the capital anymore."
