Reality 2

　　From the very beginning, the mausoleum was built so the Emperor and the Empress could be buried together.

　　Sheng Siyu opened the secret pa.s.sage of the mausoleum while carrying the jar of wine.

　　His figure was still tall and straight, and time did not leave any traces on his face, but his hair was already gray.

　　He couldn’t wait to enter the tomb in the middle of the mausoleum, where a huge stone coffin lay.

　　Lying inside were Bai Weiwei’s remains.

　　Sheng Siyu walked to the front of the coffin and couldn’t help but reach out and gently caress it, as if he was caressing the woman he loved the most.

　　He smiled softly and whispered, “I am coming, Weiwei.”

　　He was very familiar with this place, he came here so often.

　　“Today is the Flower Festival, I still remember that year we went out of the palace to celebrate the Flower Festival. Have you made your wish? You said that you wanted to make this country a prosperous land, We helped you achieve it. The barbarians have been defeated and driven away, I was unable to follow you these past decades.”

　　“I also chose open-minded and honest officials, allowing a well ordered government for the country. All that should be done, We did well, this country is already moving in the best direction.”

　　“We also picked the best successor, not Our child, We dismissed the harem, and didn’t have any other woman.”

　　“The child has enough ability and a mentality of wanting to manage the country well, I have already written the imperial edict to abdicate, so he can see it tomorrow at dawn.”

　　Sheng Siyu poured the wine and then whispered: “Starting today, We… I am not the Emperor anymore, I can go with you. I can’t always let you be the one to find me, I don’t know if you are waiting for me at the bridge, or maybe you have already reincarnated1.”
