Yin Ji stood aside in a daze. People were coming and going around him, busy putting out the fire and consoling him, but he seemed to be isolated from the world, and everything around him became illusory.
Xie Yun was dead. First, her abdomen was injured and blood was all over the ground; then the fire burned her and she was unrecognizable...
How could a person die so miserably?
How could a person who died so miserably be Xie Yun?
He looked at the charred corpse, but he never dared to get close. Everyone said that it was Xie Yun, the person he just realized had always lived in his heart.
But he didn't believe it. This would never be the ending between him and Xie Yun.
He closed his eyes in resistance, and Cai Tianxi came over carefully: "Your Majesty, why don't we clean up Miss Xie and change her into decent clothes?"
Yin Ji opened his eyes and looked at him. In this short half hour, Yin Ji's eyes were already full of bloodshot, as if they would bleed at any time.
Cai Tianxi was frightened and lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.
"Go find the person, this is not her."
His voice was calm and emotionless, but everyone knew that Yin Ji was just pretending to be calm at this time, as if he didn't let go, that person was really not Xie Yun.
But how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
The injury that Concubine Yue said overlapped with the location of the imperial guards, how could there be a mistake?
But Cai Tianxi didn't dare to refute, he could only respond with sorrow, and he was a little sad in his heart. What a good girl, that was really favored by the emperor, but in the end it ended like this...
He sighed heavily, forcing himself to cheer up and look for her, although he knew there was no hope, but what if?
He called Jingchun and was about to go far away, but saw that the other party was lying on the burnt tree looking at something. He was angry and kicked him.
"I told you to find Xie Yun, but you insisted on finding Concubine Yue. You can't get up even if I call you now, right?"
Jingchun's face did not show any fear of being blamed. Instead, he pulled Cai Tianxi and said, "Master, take a look. There seems to be a word here."
Cai Tianxi's heart jumped. Could it be Xie Yun's last words?
He quickly lay down and squinted his eyes to stare at the tree trunk. Fortunately, the other party carved it very deeply, otherwise it would have been burned by the fire. But even so, he only saw one word after looking around.
"禾?"
Cai Tianxi was stunned. Seeing Jingchun raised his hand to touch it, he slapped his hand away with a slap: "This may be left by Miss Xie Yun. It was burned to ashes. What if you touch it and it is gone?"
Jingchun quickly retracted his hand with confusion on his face: "Master, what does this mean? I just looked for a long time to see if there are other words, but I can't find them."
Cai Tianxi pondered for a while and was a little confused. He was about to shake his head, but at this moment a light flashed in his mind.
"This is not He, this is Ji, the character Ji in the emperor's name!"
He couldn't help shouting, and then realized that he had overstepped his bounds, and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Jingchun's eyes lit up: "So, this is really left by Aunt Xie Yun? Then isn't it also a credit for me to find this?"
He quickly got up and went to tell Yin Ji the good news. Cai Tianxi shouted twice but couldn't stop him. He was so angry that he trembled. This was indeed left by Xie Yun, but telling the emperor at this time, wouldn't it be to confirm the identity of the corpse?
Now the emperor can still deceive himself and refuse to admit it, but once he sees this word...
He quickly chased after him, but unfortunately he was a step too late. Jingchun had already said everything he should and shouldn't say, and was looking at Yin Ji with a face full of expectation.
Cai Tianxi wanted to slap him, but he had no time to do it. He looked at Yin Ji with anxiety and heartache: "Your Majesty, maybe it's just a coincidence..."
"Is it really a Ji character?"
Yin Ji spoke softly, his voice was so erratic that it seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time.
Cai Tianxi couldn't bear to deceive him anymore, and he knew that lying at this time was meaningless. He said in a difficult tone: "It's just my guess, there is only a He character."
"Take me to see it."
Cai Tianxi hesitated a little, he was afraid that Yin Ji could not accept this blow: "Your Majesty, otherwise you should take it easy..."
Jingchun had already stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I will lead the way for you."
Yin Ji never looked back, and followed Jingchun straight to the big tree.
Cai Tianxi sighed helplessly and followed quickly.
The He character was very close to the ground, the movement was crooked, and the scratches were thin and deep.
Yin Ji half-knelt on the ground, staring at the word for a long time, until the sky was bright. Zhong Bai went back in vain to find someone, so he trembled and reached out his hand to touch the small word in the air.
Cai Tianxi was right, this was the word "Ji", a word "Ji" that was not finished in time.
Why did you leave such a word?
Xie Yun, is this really what you left? How could you leave such a word? You obviously didn't...
The distant memory was suddenly awakened, and Yin Ji's body froze. He suddenly recalled the vague "Ji Lang" in Xie Yun's dream last winter.
She had him in her heart, and she had always had him for so many years...
Yin Ji trembled uncontrollably, and those details that were deliberately ignored suddenly became extremely clear, turning over and over in his mind, and finally fixed on Xie Yun's eyes that were brighter than the stars when they met again four years ago.
She should have been very happy at that time, and she must not have expected that he would treat her like that...
Yin Ji suddenly didn't dare to recall what he had done. If Xie Yun still had him in her heart, then when he asked her to roll off the dragon bed; when he forced her to serve him when he visited his concubines, when he hugged her but called the wrong name...
What kind of mood was Xie Yun in?
He just thought about it, and his throat felt fishy and sweet, and he vomited blood.
Xie Yun, Xie Yun...
There was a confusion in his ears, as if Zhong Bai and Cai Tianxi were calling the imperial physician, someone was urging him to take care of himself, someone was urging him to mourn, but it was vague as if they were very far away.
He could only see the small word "禾" (TL: Ji) in his eyes. Through that small word, he seemed to see how Xie Yun curled up helplessly and desperately in the sea of fire, holding the last hope, breaking her nails, grinding her flesh, and carving it out one by one.
But the word was not carved completely, just like the person she was waiting for to save her, who never came.
