Chapter 534

She finally understood that there was no script in the world and there was no so-called male protagonist. The book she read before she died in her previous life was just a legendary interpretation from Xie Xuanji’s perspective, beautified by later generations.

Because Xie Xuanji was the Emperor, the writer went all out to boast about him. However, in this world, was he even a unique, immortal and destined male protagonist?

Jiang Mingwei finally jumped into the lake wearing the Empress’s dress. She drowned in her previous life and she would die the same way in this life, but at least she was accompanied by the majestic robes befitting an Empress.

Xie Xuanchen opened the palace door effortlessly, his silver armour glowing coldly. After a while, a confidant ran over from the harem, cupped his fists and said, “Your Highness, the Empress of the south is dead, but the Emperor and the jade seal are missing.”

Xie Xuanchen was not surprised at all by this result, “Sure enough, after so many years, he will still choose to run away. Chase after him, he can’t run very far.”

“As you wish!”

The confidant followed the order and left. Xie Xuanchen still felt that his palace looked more pleasing to the eye while standing in this one.

He looked up at the flickering starry sky and couldn’t help but wonder, what was she and the child doing now?

Early the next morning, the confidant who looked for Xie Xuanji came back with the news, “Your Highness, the Emperor of the south is dead.”

“How did he die?”

The confidant seemed to pause for a moment and said with a subtle expression, “He was killed by his foreign n.o.ble Consort.”

Xie Xuanchen laughed as soon as he heard it, which was unexpected and reasonable. Xie Xuanji was pa.s.sionate and sentimental all his life. Finally, he died at the hands of a woman— it was his beginning and his end.

Xie Xuanchen stretched out his hand and asked, “Where is the imperial seal?”

The confidant bowed and respectfully presented a bright yellow cloth bag. Xie Xuanchen opened it and looked at it. With a b.u.mp in the corner, it was undoubtedly the jade seal that was pa.s.sed down the royal family.

Xie Xuanchen wrapped the jade seal again and carried it out by himself. When pa.s.sing by everyone, he said, “From now on, the Southern Ye Dynasty is not allowed to be mentioned again. There has and will always be only one Ye Dynasty in the world.”

Everyone knelt down and responded sonorously, “Yes! Sincerest congratulations to Your Highness for unifying the world.”

Xie Xuanchen strode out without looking back, heading towards his horse that was tied outside the palace. Xie Xuanchen got on the horse and immediately galloped on the palace roads. The horse’s hooves clattered and he ran towards the north, “Return to the court.”

The army that went south to conquer the southern court returned in triumph within three months. Everyone in the army was beaming with joy. The atmosphere on the way back was completely opposite to that during their journey south. Everyone was in a different mood as they all paid attention to the flowers on the roadside.

Unexpectedly, spring had already arrived.

Xu Qilang, who was now married and had a son, followed Xie Xuanchen. His son was only one year younger than Xie Changan. When he thought about going home to meet his wife and son, the rough, 8-foot(2) man became soft. Xu Qilang saw a tree of unnamed flowers blooming on the side of the road in a very lively manner. Curious about them, he asked, “The flowers on this tree are beautiful. What is its name?”

(T/N: I googled— this height is possible. It’s still short of the height of the tallest person in the world, so I’ll consider this legit)

Xie Xuanchen glanced casually and calmly replied, “Begonia.”

Xu Qilang was just asking on a whim, not expecting anyone to answer him. With that, he looked at Xie Xuanchen with an extremely unbelievable look, “Your Highness is proficient even in the types of flowers?”

“Just enough to recognise Begonias,” For some reason, Xie Xuanchen suddenly rushed ahead of the team and discarded the large army behind him even though he was fine a moment ago, “You lead the army slowly, I will go back to the city first.” 

Among all the flowers, the Begonia was the only one he could identify.

Under the spring light of March, a fast horse ran towards Youzhou City at full speed. The man above was donned with silver armour and red robes. Riding a white horse, he was almost more beautiful than this spring day.

He rode towards his Begonia flower, the love of his life.

He was going home.
