Chapter 413 So, sister, you can't cry anymore (4000 words)
reality.

The Zhou Dynasty Royal Palace.

Xiao Mo, who was in the imperial study, suddenly opened his eyes.

The midday sun shone on Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo pressed his hand to his chest, panting heavily.

Although Xiao Mo's memories were blurred due to the Book of a Hundred Generations.

However, the extremely real feeling of dying still left Xiao Mo with lingering fear.

"The fifth life experience of the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes is complete. The rewards for the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes are being calculated. The host may enter the River of Time until the fifth life reward is tallied. Does the host wish to enter?"

Bai Shishu's voice rang in Xiao Mo's mind once again.

"Enter!"

After calming himself down, Xiao Mo made a decisive choice.

Although Xiao Mo didn't have many memories of the fifth incarnation of the Hundred Lifetimes Book.

However, Xiao Mo felt that he couldn't let go of it no matter what.

"Host is about to enter the River of Time. Please prepare yourself."

一”

The Imperial Study of the Qin Dynasty Palace.

Generals such as Xiahou Nan, Li Jing, Zhao Guang, and Fang Weiming all had an audience with the emperor to report on their duties.

Although they won a battle, if history continues to record their deeds, their names will surely be remembered for generations to come.

But there wasn't much joy on their faces.

After Qin Siyao bestowed the rewards, everyone left except for Xiahou Nan, who remained in the imperial study.

"General Xiahou, is there anything else?"

Qin Siyao asked calmly, her voice completely still, as if she possessed no emotion whatsoever.

"There are indeed some things."

Xiahou Nan took out three items from his storage bag.

"These Ten Fierce Spears are the immortal weapons used by the Frost King, and the mask is the one that the Frost King has worn since he began his campaigns. As for this clay figurine, I do not know what it is."

Even when the Frost King was being attacked by the great formation, he still protected this thing with all his might.

I believe this thing must be of great significance to the Frost King.

Now that the Frost King's remains are nowhere to be found, apart from the Ten Fiends Spears, this mask and the clay figurine should have been buried as his remains.

However, this humble general believes that these things should be entrusted to His Majesty rather than being buried.”

Peanut, who was standing to the side, stepped forward, took Xiao Mo's three belongings, and placed them in front of Qin Siyao.

Qin Siyao's eyes flickered as she looked at the mask and clay figurine on the table.

She reached out and held the little clay figure in her palm, gently touching it, her fair fingertips trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty, what is this clay figure?" Xiahou Nan asked.

Qin Siyao shook her head: "It's just an ordinary clay sculpture made by a girl."

Qin Siyao raised her head and looked at Xiahou Nan: "General Xiahou must be tired too, go back to your residence and rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This humble general takes his leave." Xiahou Nan clasped his hands in a salute, said no more, and left the imperial study.

The door closed.

There was only one woman in the imperial study.

Looking at this somewhat ugly little clay figure, the woman seemed to see again in her mind that day several years ago, when a little girl stood in front of a little boy.

"Here, take this."

"Give me?"

"Yes, this clay figure isn't made of anyone else, it's of myself. It's a gift from me to you. When you miss me, just look at this clay figure and silently say my name. Maybe I'll know you're thinking of me, and then I'll come to see you."

"I see." The little boy took the clay figure and smiled. "What if Her Highness the Princess doesn't come?"

"If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have lost out."

"why?"

"Because I'm thinking of you too."

When the woman came to her senses, tears were already dripping onto the small clay figure.

"You big liar, have you missed me?"

The woman gently stroked the clay figure's eyebrows, crying and laughing at the same time.

I miss you so much.

The next day, Qin Siyao planned to leave the palace and go to the Xiao residence.

According to Qin customs, Qin Siyao must first preside over the funeral of her mother-in-law, Zhou Ruoxi.

However, at this time, some ministers offered their advice and dissuaded them.

Because the Frost King had passed away and Qin Siyao had not yet married into the family, the marriage agreement was no longer valid according to Qin law.

These ministers believed that Zhou Ruoxi's funeral and the funeral of Frost King Xiao Mo should be presided over by the younger generation of the Xiao family.

When Baili Xi and Prime Minister Li learned of the ministers' remonstrances, they did not say a word in court, but only sighed, "This bunch of opportunistic good-for-nothings."

As expected, Qin Siyao completely ignored her.

Within two days, evidence of these officials' usual corruption and abuse of power was presented in the court.

The court officials who offered advice were either dismissed from their posts or imprisoned.

From then on, no court official dared to speak out.

A few days later, Qin Siyao personally presided over her mother-in-law's funeral.

The day of the burial.

Even though Cuicui was already sixty years old, she cried like a girl.

"Aunt Cui, are you going to stay in the palace?"

After the funeral, Qin Siyao asked Cuicui.

Cui Cui shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am too old to trouble you. After attending the young master's funeral, I will build a small courtyard in front of the madam's tomb so that I can continue to accompany her."

Hearing Cui Cui's words, Qin Siyao did not insist, but simply nodded silently.

One month after Zhou Ruoxi's burial was Xiao Mo's funeral.

The day before Xiao Mo's funeral, the Northern Wilderness Snow-Treading Dragon Riders and heavy infantry arrived outside the Qin capital.

This startled many court officials, who feared that the Northern Wilderness Army might do something disloyal.

But Qin Siyao didn't care at all.

On the day of the funeral, Xiao Mo's coffin was transported from the Xiao residence to the Xiao family's ancestral home.

Qin Siyao, dressed in mourning clothes and carrying Xiao Mo's memorial tablet, walked at the head of the funeral procession.

The people of the city all lined the road to see him off.

Many women wept bitterly as they looked at the coffin of the Frost King, some even fainting from grief.

Leave the city.

Generals such as Xiahou Nan, Lian Li, and Li Jing, along with the Northern Wilderness Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry and heavy infantry, stood in rows on both sides of the city gate, stretching from the city gate all the way to the Xiao family's ancestral land.

"Send to the Frost King!"

Li Jing shouted loudly.

"Waaah—"

As Li Jing finished speaking, the bugle call to charge resounded through the sky.

"Thump! Thump thump!!!"

The million soldiers all had tears in their eyes, striking their armor with their weapons to bid farewell to the Frost King.

Xiao Mo's cenotaph was placed next to Zhou Ruoxi.

On Xiao Mo's tombstone, there was no long title prefix like most feudal lords; it simply read, "Tomb of husband Xiao Mo, respectfully erected by wife Qin Siyao with tears streaming down her face."

After Xiao Mo was buried, everyone dispersed, leaving only Qin Siyao kneeling before the tombstone.

No one dared to disturb Qin Siyao.

No one knew what Qin Siyao was thinking.

Half a month later, in front of her husband's tombstone, the woman slowly stood up, turned around and walked back into the palace.

The owner of the Northern Wilderness Pavilion came to the palace to meet Qin Siyao.

Qiu Wen, the owner of the desolate building, brought a letter and the seal of the King of the Northern Wilderness.

This letter was written by Xiao Mo himself, and he even affixed his bloodstain to it.

The letter contained Xiao Mo's various arrangements for the Northern Wilderness.

The most crucial request was for His Majesty to reclaim the title of Prince of Zhenbei and his military power, hoping that from then on, the Northern Wilderness Army would be under the control of the King of Qin.

Looking at this suicide note, Qin Siyao pondered for a long time.

"Your Majesty need not worry."

Qiu Wen thought Qin Siyao was worried that such actions would cause discontent among the Northern Wilderness army and lead to internal strife in Qin, so she explained.

"At this time, major military affairs were being handled by Li Jing, Zhao Guang, Fang Weiming, and others. None of them harbored any rebellious intentions; they were all loyal to the Frost King. Now that the Frost King has passed away, they are all still loyal to His Majesty."

What they least wanted to see was the world split apart again, making the efforts and bloodshed of the King of Zhenbei, the King of Shuang, and millions of soldiers go to waste.

Therefore, they had no objection to the Frost King's wishes.

As for the current members of the Xiao family.

The only ones who were successful were Xiao Yang, Xiao Gui, and a few others who followed the Frost King in his campaigns.

They only wanted to protect the world that the Frost King had ultimately created.

Qin Siyao shook her head: "I'm not worried about that, I never worry about that."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Qiu Wen asked, puzzled.

"No matter when, no matter what happens, he always thinks of me first." Qin Siyao raised her head and looked at Qiu Wen. "Miss Qiu, when my husband is with you, is there anything he needs you to do for him?"

Qiu Wen thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head.

"really."

Qin Siyao lowered her head and looked at the seal of the King of Zhenbei.

"He's always like this."

He's always like this.

Three days later, Qin Siyao published Xiao Mosheng's last will and testament to the world, stripping him of his title as King of the Northern Wilderness and placing the Northern Wilderness army under the management of the imperial court, responsible only to the ruler of Qin.

Many people felt that His Majesty's move would cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the Northern Wilderness, even though it was the last will and testament of the Frost King.

Unexpectedly, all the generals in the Northern Wilderness obeyed the order and handed over their military power.

Some generals grew tired of the life of fighting in the north and south, so they resigned from their posts and went into seclusion in the mountains, becoming idle people.

Some generals entered the Qin capital and took up positions in the imperial court.

In conclusion, the transfer of military power in the Northern Wilderness proceeded without any unexpected incidents.

Six months after the fall of the State of Qi, the newly appointed King of Zhao personally went to the capital to surrender to the State of Qin.

Qin Siyao accepted the surrender and bestowed upon the King of Zhao the title of Duke of Anle, without granting him any real power or official position, but allowing him to receive an annual salary until his death.

From then on, the State of Zhao was destroyed, and all laws were unified under one rule.

The following spring.

Qin Siyao promulgated the "Qin Law".

Starting today.

Under the rule of law, there were no more feudal states. The original seven major states of Qi, Zhao, Chu, Yan, Wei, and Jin, as well as the former states of all sizes, were all converted into prefectures, which were then divided into counties.

Of all the written languages in the world, Qin script was the most prominent.

The standard language in the world is the Qin dialect.

All carriages and horses in the world follow the standards of the Qin state.

Since then.

Standardize writing, standardize cart tracks, and standardize pronunciation.

All people under heaven, regardless of their country, are Qin citizens.

Since then.

Noble titles held by prominent families could not be granted by the emperor and could not be inherited.

All officials were appointed through the recommendation system, with the imperial examination system being the primary method.

The imperial examination system was implemented throughout the country, with Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Military Science, Agriculturalism, and Mohism as the six orthodox schools of thought.

Since then.

During the golden age of the Qin Dynasty.

The elderly are provided for until their end, the able-bodied are employed, the young are nurtured, and the widowed, orphaned, lonely, and disabled are all cared for.

The world was at peace.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

After the Qin state was able to recuperate, Qin Siyao personally led her army to invade the demon realm.

"I have come to demand an explanation from the Kingdom of Liuhuo and the Kingdom of Xigu. If you dare to obstruct me, you may try."

Qin Siyao's words spread throughout the entire demon realm.

Subsequently, Qin Siyao led her army to conquer the two demon kingdoms of Liuhuo and Xigu.

Throughout the entire campaign, the Qin army never suffered a single defeat.

From beginning to end, all the demon kingdoms stood by and watched, with no one daring to stand in their way.

The following year, Qin Siyao led her army by flying boat across the sea and entered the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Islands.

The King of Wandao Kingdom requests surrender.

Qin Siyao refused to surrender, exterminated the entire royal family of Wandao Kingdom, and annexed the territories of Wandao Kingdom and Qin Kingdom, establishing a prefecture under the jurisdiction of Qin Kingdom.

Another fifteen years have passed.

Since Qin Siyao destroyed the three kingdoms of Xigu, Liuhuo, and Wandao, there has been no war in the world for a long time.

Millions of people called the Qin Emperor a sage ruler.

However, there was one thing that kept the court officials worried.

This is His Majesty's marriage.

Throughout these years, His Majesty has always been the only person in the palace.

Since Xiao Mo's passing, His Majesty has been a widow.

But how can that work?

Even if His Majesty is currently a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm with a lifespan of a thousand years.

But the crown prince is the foundation of the country; how can he be absent?
Therefore, some ministers boldly suggested that His Majesty should consider the marriage.

However, none of these suggestions received a response from Qin Siyao.

In the end, these officials had no choice but to give up, hoping that His Majesty would change his mind.

Another six years have passed.

On this day, Qin Siyao suddenly announced that she would adopt children to inherit the throne, and demanded that the royal relatives send their children aged three to eight.

Upon hearing this news, the imperial relatives were naturally willing.

One by one, the children of collateral branches of the Qin royal family were sent to the palace.

But Qin Siyao was not satisfied with any of them.

Until one day...

The royal collateral branch sent ten more children.

As before, Qin Siyao summoned the children to the Imperial Study to meet them in person.

Upon seeing Qin Siyao, the children all lowered their heads in fear and nervousness, unable to look her in the eye.

Only a six-year-old girl raised her head, her bright, sparkling eyes blinking as she looked at the extremely beautiful Empress sister in front of her.

Qin Siyao noticed the little girl, squatted down in front of her, and smiled, "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, my name is Qin Lan'er."

"Lan'er, that's a very nice name." Qin Siyao nodded. "Who are your parents?"

"My parents passed away when I was very young," Qin Lan'er said, head bowed. "I've always lived with my uncle."

"Oh, I see." Qin Siyao patted her daughter's head. "Aren't you afraid of me?"

The little girl nodded, then shook her head.

Qin Siyao smiled and said, "Are you afraid, or not afraid?"

"I'm not afraid," the little girl said.

"Why?" Qin Siyao asked.

"Because Lan'er can tell that Her Majesty is a good person."

"Lan'er can see that? What else did Lan'er see in her sister?" Qin Siyao asked.

"Lan'er can also tell that Her Majesty seems very sad," Qin Lan'er said in her childish voice.
