The Love of the General

Epilogue

Back to the ancient era.

Everyone began to forget the death of the general's wife except him. No one knew that he was barely breathing except with the help of acupuncture and medical treatment.

It was not his intention to let them think he was dead but somehow the news spread like that. So he just did it because it would be better for them not to notice it.

After Lan You Nian fainted back then, Feng Yi Xuan asked the healer to examine him.

" He can barely hold on anymore. It'd be better if we let him go." The doctor kept his head down. He knew the general treatment to keep his wife's condition so much. Feng Yi Xuan felt like she was paralyzed on the spot. The threatening aura gripped him firmly.

" No! do whatever it takes to save him. " Feng Yi Xuan said firmly.

He could no longer hold his hands; they trembled in a strange trembling rhythm. A feeling of fear crept up into his stomach. She's terrified.

" I can only give medicine and acupuncture to keep him alive or keep him breathing. But the madam will be lying there like a dead man. " The physician hesitantly said.

What he meant was paralysis. If in the modern world he would have depended on a ventilator machine, but in the ancient world it would have depended on ancient medical treatments.

" Anything! Do whatever it takes to keep him alive. " Feng Yi Xuan was fully aware that she was selfish. He believed that he would come back.

If he let go, he would definitely lose his mind. But when he thought about their son, he needed to calm down.

Until now, he would accompany her every morning and night after she did her duty. Feng Yi Xuan had completely changed. He became even colder and merciless.

The last time he was at war. All his enemies he killed. Nothing he let live. Everyone can remember that day. He came back from the war with blood where he stuck to his armor. That's frightening. Feng Yi Xuan might still be alive but when someone looked into her eyes, it was already lifeless. He lost his only light.

Even his son could not comfort him. Not because he couldn't love his own son. But he could not forget the fact that his Lan You Nian was in front of him but it seemed like he was no longer there.

Her son sometimes lived at Lan You Nian's mother's house. At first it was difficult for his family to accept the truth. But eventually they start accepting everything because life has to go on.

Minister Li and Lady Li willingly took care of Lan You Nian's son as well as they knew their son-in-law was not in good shape.

Feng Yi Xuan longed to see those bright eyes. Her smile. His awkwardness and every single thing he did to make him laugh. Every time she remembered it she felt like crying but her tears would not come out. There were no more tears left to cry.

Inside, his soul felt like a field torn to shreds from him. His heart was broken into pieces every time he saw his son. He didn't even have a chance to meet his mother.

" The xuan er. He is no longer in this world . Zhen hopes you'll marry again. " Even the emperor did not know that Feng Yi Xuan was hiding Lan You Nian's body.

Feng Yi Xuan simply kept silent and stared blankly at the noble. All the officials were staring at him at the corner of their eyes. Before, they always thought that he was scary but after the death of his wife he became even more terrifying.

Some felt like they were going to pee in their pants when they looked straight into his eyes. The aura is getting darker. Even His Majesty was afraid that Feng Yi Xuan would do something unimaginable.

" If you agree, I'll find a suitable newlywed for... " Before the Emperor could proceed any further, Feng Yi Xuan cut him off stubbornly.

" I'll go first. There are more important matters you can tell Zhao Li. " He left without waiting for the Emperor's permission. The Emperor looked at Feng Yi Xuan's hardened back anxiously as he left.

" I'm here Your Majesty." Zhao Li paid his respects to the emperor.

" Please take care of Feng Yi Xuan lest she do anything stupid. " The Emperor was afraid that Feng Yi Xuan would commit suicide.

" I will uphold your orders, Your Majesty." Zhao Li said before leaving the palace. He was the one who accompanied Feng Yi Xuan and the instant he knew of every pain Feng Yi Xuan was going through. Lan You Nian was the only person who could return Feng Yi Xuan like she used to.

What would happen to the country if the great general was unable to protect the country? a few months ago, Feng Yi Xuan had asked to step down from her position but the emperor rejected her. Because the country did not yet have a suitable person to replace Feng Yi Xuan's position.

In a room there was a room that no one but Feng Yi Xuan and the Physician could enter.

There lay a petite body with a man accompanying her on her right side. He held his right hand. He brought his pale hand to his face. He wanted to feel his warmth, but what was left in his hand, only the hand felt cold. There was no warm hand that he always smelled.

" When will you wake up? " He asked while looking at her milk face.

" Didn't you miss me? I miss you so much. " His cold, hard eyes will become soft whenever his eyes are on her.

" I need you. And our son needs you. " Every day he whispers the word to her but she gets no reaction. And he never gave up either.

" I'm so sorry if you're tired but I can't let you go. " His eyes turned forward. His window was transparent so he could see everything outside.

" Can you get up and hold me?" Put his head on his stomach. He asked her to hug him like a child. His voice is getting hoarse. His eyes became red.

" My heart aches, an indescribable pain. More than anything I can hold..." Unbeknownst to him, tears flowed from his eyes.

" I can't take it anymore, I feel like I could be ruined and lose my mind at any moment. So, will you wake up and kiss me? "

If possible, he wanted to find her in his world that he told her about earlier. But he doesn't know how to get into his dunian.

His other hand clenched. His eyes closed in a forced manner. His head hurt thinking about their fate. He cursed the gods for doing this. But at the same time he asked the god to bring his Lan You Nian back.

A small movement suddenly occurred. It was his finger. His eyes fluttered wanting to see it. Adjusting the gaze in front of him, the first thing he felt was his head on top of his stomach.

Raising her hands, she wanted to touch her hair. As soon as his hand fell on his head, he felt his body getting tenser. He held her hand tightly, he wished it was real.

Feng Yi Xuan Raised her head and turned her head towards it, eyes and glints by tears could be seen. That was a miracle. Lan You Nian raised her hand and breezed her cheek using her thumb. Feng Yi Xuan couldn't believe it. He'shere. The only happy one is here.

" I'm Xuan Xuan here." Tears flowed down her cheeks as she said it with a weak smile.
