Xiao Junjie who had just pierced Baili Qingchen with a sharp long sword immediately shivered. He immediately released his hand from the sword handle with a tremble.
Xiao Junjie stared blankly at Baili Qingchen who was looking at him questioningly and disappointedly, then sat on the floor just like that.
"D-Jie..."
“No! A-Chen, I didn't kill A-Chen!” said scared.
Baili Qingchen felt her entire body ache. The pain was worse and more devastating than the injuries he had sustained on the battlefield.
The sword struck from his left back, pierced through to his chest and made a severe longitudinal tear.
Blood is flowing. Suddenly he vomited blood. Baili Qingchen was like a loss of energy.
He turned his gaze to Qingyi who was staring at him blankly, then softly he said, “Princess Empress, we..
Baili Qingchen's body instantly collapsed. Emperor Baili and Eunuch Li immediately approached him and supported him. Seeing that Baili Qingchen was covered in blood, Qingyi's vile eyes turned red, he kicked Liu Erniang who suddenly laughed loudly until he fell down in the corner of the room.
Qingyi jumped, running fast. He pushed Emperor Baili and replaced him to support Baili Qingchen's body. No words were spoken from his mouth.
He stared blankly at Baili Qingchen who was already half-conscious. Baili Qingchen with the rest of her strength grabbed Qingyi's face with hands full of blood, stroking her cheeks slowly. He smiles.
Qingyi sat down with Baili Qingchen. There were tears dripping from his empty eyes. “Do not..crying..”.
Baili Qingchen stroked her cheek again, exposing her to blood. Baili Qingchen coughed back, spewing out blood that sagged. Blood from his sword-pierced chest flowed profusely, flooding the floor of the court hall that was supposed to be clean.
Until now, no words had come out of Qingyi's mouth. He lost half of his soul. His heart and mind were empty.
He clearly knew that this man was about to die, but all the words in his brain had gone nowhere. Qingyi couldn't even say a farewell.
“Qingqing.. Do not cry. I'm fine,” said Baili Qingchen.
Her empress is sharp-tongued, she is not good at romantic speech or expressing her feelings. Baili Qingchen knew her life was coming to an end, but she did not want to see her empress cry. The tears were dripping, it was the first tear he saw from his empress.
Throughout his life, this was the first time Baili Qingchen had seen a woman crying for him. Baili Qingchen was very grateful because God had brought her together with a female figure like Qingyi.
He also thanked his nephew for forcing him to marry. Otherwise, his meeting with Qingyi would probably be much longer delayed.
Qingyi is his life, his soul, the lamp of his heart. The woman had brought a lantern into her dark and cold heart, providing warmth and reliving a long-dead taste. Qingyi was an oasis amidst the dryness of the feeling that whackled her soul.
Baili Qingchen only regretted not being able to accompany him enjoying the seasons to come, not being able to accompany him for a longer time. Baili Qingchen regretted not being able to see her sneaky smile and evil sneer again. He regretted not being able to destroy her again.
Baili Qingchen hoped that after this, her empress' life could be calmer and more peaceful. Even though he wasn't around, he really wished Qingyi a good life. Baili Qingchen then turned to look at her nephew weakly.
He smiled, softly saying back, “Jingyan, you are an adult. Be a good Emperor.”
After saying that, Baili Qingchen's weak hand instantly drooped and fell. Then came the sound of a long shrill scream.
Suddenly they stared towards the origin of the sound, except for Qingyi. They saw Xiao Junjie widening his eyes upwards, enduring the pain from his chest that had been pierced by a sword.
Behind Xiao Junjie, Dowager Consort Sun looked at her angrily and shouted, “Killer! You ruined my son's life! You must die!”
“I... no... killer... A-Chen.”.
Then, Xiao Junjie closed his eyes and did not open them again. Another scream followed from Qingyi. He hugged Baili Qigchen who had closed his eyes.
Everyone shed tears, ushering in the departure of King Changle for all eternity.
Angry, hateful, unacceptable, all the flavors mixed together and turned into a huge wave in Qingyi's heart. He bellowed furiously and frustratedly, telling Baili Qingchen to open her eyes and threatening to burn her mansion if it did not return.
At the end of his anger and disbelief, he shouted out loudly, “Yinghao! Stop time!”
At that moment, time stopped. The wind stopped blowing, the air stopped flowing. Everyone inside the hall was silent like a statue.
Only Qingyi was still moving. He still hugged Baili Qingchen while shedding tears. Yinghao looked at her with pity, this was the first time he had seen his usually angry and frustrated master.
“Could it finally stay like this?” ogre.
Qingyi did not want Baili Qingchen to die. He can't finish like this.
Her feelings that had grown for this man made her very angry. Seeing him lying covered in blood, his heart was torn to shreds.
His soul was taken away. Qingyi closed her eyes, trying to think of a way that the ending was not the same as the original story.
“Master, the ending will remain the same,” Yinghao said.
“Can you turn it on again? He can't die like this.”
Yinghao looked doubtful. “Nothing, Mr.”
“You lied. You obviously know there is that way,” Qingyi said.
Yinghao sighed. With hesitation, he then explained something that might grant his master's wish.
“In fact, there is still one way. But, this will have an impact on you, Mr.”
Qingyi was like seeing a glimmer of hope. Whatever the impact, he was able to accept it. “Say!”
“You can exchange dimensional space with life and death exchange function. But, if you do, you will be forcibly pulled out of here and your memories will be affected randomly. You, might end up crazy after returning to the real world.”
Qingyi who was already filled with anger and frustration without a second thought agreed to the terms. He agreed to change the dimensional space and was forcibly pulled from here with Baili Qingchen's life. Yinghao held her back, saying that the consequences were huge.
“Master, is it worth it?”
“What is not worth it? I came into his life. I also have to give back his life.”
Qingyi felt that her mission in this world was finished. He had already gotten what was lacking from this story, even though his heart was deeply hurt and unwilling.
If he were to leave, then the figure of Liu Qingyi in this tale would probably return like the beginning. Qingyi might not be able to change the ending of everyone, but at least she could change the ending of Baili Qingchen's story.
That man can't die. Baili Qingchen had already given something that was never received from anyone else. Unknowingly, he already loved her and dropped his heart on her.
He knew he never said it and always quarreled with it. But when he saw this man dying and dying, his soul seemed to go with him.
“Then what about the growing fetus inside your body?”
Qingyi was surprised. Baili Qingchen's blood-filled hand reflexively touched her deflated and open stomach. Qingyi looked at him in disbelief. He looked up at Yinghao.
“Why did you just tell me now?”
“I just found out while scanning your body a moment ago.”
“Then, save both!”
Yinghao knew this was difficult. His master is in love. Although unwilling, Yinghao could not resist anymore. Qingyi had actually completed her mission well, it was time for her to return to the real world.
But, somehow Yinghao was not willing. He still wanted this master of his to be here and shared the story with Baili Qingchen.
“Come do!” yingyi Benthic. Yinghao gasped.
“Good. Sir, close your eyes.”
Before that, he removed the access pendant to the dimensional space, then placed it in the palm of Baili Qingchen's hand. He also kissed the blood-filled lips for a few seconds.
Slowly but surely, he began to organize his heart and mind. “I really hope we can meet again. Sorry, I left without waiting for you to realize.”
Then, Qingyi closed her eyes as per Yinghao's instructions. A golden light, which was similar to the light when Qingyi was first sucked into the dimensional space.
He remembered this light. He kept his eyes closed, his tears dripping as the light slowly swallowed him.
As the life-and-death exchange feature reached the peak process, a burst of light burst forth from within the imperial palace hall, scattering waves of light all over the imperial city. Everyone inside the hall fell unconscious.
Before the light swallowed him whole, Qingyi briefly smiled and shed tears. From that moment on, everything went dark.
