By the time I finally understood where the ominous feeling came from, it seemed to be too late.
Ye Shun has a connection with Tianshan, and Mr.Ye was once a close friend of his master.
In his childhood, Ye Shun was born with deficiencies, weak and sickly, and several times he nearly faced death. His master used the sect's treasured Sikan Jade to prolong his life; Sikan Jade has a similar effect to the Heart of Seven Apertures, curing him instantly.
He was kept alive by sheer will.
His master once said, "As long as the jade exists, so does the person; if the jade is destroyed, the person perishes."
Last night, the Emperor Xiao summoned Ye Shun for questioning. Ye Shun bowed down and pleaded on the ground, offering to sacrifice the jade to save Su Leiyue's life.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Xiao furrowed his brow, lost in thought.
I stood to the side, gasping in shock, my palms tightly clenched into fists, allowing my sharp nails to dig into my flesh.
The Emperor Xiao is not like King Zhou; if Ye Shun is to be saved, then the Heart of Seven Apertures must be taken.
The meaning of the Emperor Xiao's words was clear.
Escape? Where could one escape to?
Under heaven, all land belongs to the king. No matter how far they might go, it is hard to ensure that the wrath of the Emperor Xiao would not fall upon the the Su Family as well.
In the end, the Emperor Xiao entrusted this matter entirely to me.
Meiyang was chosen; though it was just four words, it felt like an unbearable weight on my shoulders.
Ye Shun would remain under house arrest at the Censorate, neither killed nor released, waiting for my final decision three months later.
In the Imperial Palace, the Astronomical Bureau observed the celestial phenomena. Three days later, with favorable timing, advantageous terrain, and harmonious relations, it would be the best time for casting spells.
The Emperor Xiao's condition worsened day by day. During yesterday's morning court session, he suddenly blacked out and collapsed in the Golden Hall.
The entire court was thrown into chaos, and the Golden Hall instantly became a scene of turmoil.
Everything indicated one thing: I clenched my hand tightly, my sharp nails digging into my palm. I had no way to retreat.
"Meiyang will surely achieve dominance over Daqing one day, bringing peace to the four seas, while in this lifetime, I have never been as good as you."
Ye Shun's tone carried a hint of regret but also a sense of self-satisfaction as he said, "The only thing worth being thankful for is that I have never regretted even a bit."
The Cuckoo in the back mountain was personally planted by Ye Shun.
He wore coarse linen clothes and a bamboo hat, yet it did not conceal his handsome demeanor.
Perhaps he had anticipated this day long ago; sowing seeds, fertilizing, and watering were all done in one smooth motion.
He stood there with his hands on his hips, silent and focused on planting the Cuckoo.
"Why do you want to plant Cuckoo?" I asked.
"Because the person I love most likes Cuckoo." I was taken aback; it turned out Su Caiyue also liked Cuckoo.
Perhaps seeing my expression was not cheerful, my senior brother reached out his hand as if to pat my shoulder like when we were young. After a moment, he withdrew his hand weakly.
"I remember the times we secretly drank with Master when we were young; those were the happiest moments of my life."
He suddenly spoke up. As he continued, warmth appeared on his face for the first time, his smile gentle as he rambled on, "You and Second Junior Brother have always been the ones who worry me the most."
Second Junior Brother? Just hearing that name made us exchange knowing smiles.
That year, while practicing swordsmanship on the mountain, Second Junior Brother secretly pulled me aside and mysteriously presented me with Purple Iris he had just picked from the back mountain. I was about to refuse when unexpectedly, this scene was discovered by my senior brother, who snatched the Purple Iris away and said in a pretentious tone, "With such taste; in my opinion, if you want to give a gift, it should be Cuckoo."
"Why?"
"Because I like Cuckoo, so you must like Cuckoo too."
The next morning, large clusters of Rhododendron appeared at the head of my bed.
I hurriedly looked out from the windowsill and saw my senior brother limping past my door, swaying on his injured leg.
During practice, I subtly brought along a Rhododendron, which caused Second Junior Brother to gaze at me with lingering resentment for an entire day, thus severing our sibling bond.
So he liked Cuckoo, and Su Leiyue also came to like Cuckoo. Thinking of this made my heart ache even more, and I forced a bitter smile.
"Next spring, this place will be a vast sea of flowers."
His gaze was deep as he stared into the distance, seemingly detached from everything around him. "If she comes, tell her that this sea of flowers belongs to her alone. After I die, please bury me under this Rhododendron, so I can be closer to her."
The affection in his eyes made me want to cry, but it seemed he had forgotten that there was someone who loved this Rhododendron first.
