I, the first son, became a woman

only……

"Xia Juan doesn't care anymore."

Shaking his head, he smiled bitterly.

However, after hesitating for only a short moment, Ye Ning finally couldn't help raising his head, and set his eyes on Qi Xiunian.

"Your Majesty, may I ask... why did he break into Taiping City, into Xia Juan, and attack a young child?"

"This……"

His expression hesitated for a moment.

Qi Xiunian blinked his eyes and fell silent for a while.

After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and closed his eyes.

"It's said...it's Yin Ruohu."

"Yin Ruohu used to be the head catcher among the six gates, and had some disputes with Dongchang."

"Later, Yin Ruohu left the control of the six gates and went to Taiping City, so I thought..."

Speaking of this, Qi Xiunian's voice slowly stopped and came to an abrupt end.

"Yin... Uncle Yin...?!"

Narrowing his eyes, his voice trembled slightly for a moment.

But even if Qi Xiunian hadn't finished speaking, Ye Ning almost knew something in his mind at this moment, and understood something thoughtfully.

It turns out... is this the case?

That's why Yin Bo blamed himself so much, always accompanied Xia Juan to take care of everything, and even died because of it...

In a daze, Ye Ning raised his head, stared quietly at the sky in front of him for a long time, and remained silent for a long time.

I don't know how long the dead silence lasted for a few sticks of incense.

After a while, he sighed.

"Since that's the case...then don't tell Xia Juan about this."

"Well... I understand what you think."

Nodding his head, he naturally knew what Ye Ning was thinking.

Qi Xiunian and Ye Ning walked side by side, standing with their hands behind their hands.

He was about to speak, but this time... it was Ye Ning who spoke first.

"There is one more thing...Ye Ning hopes that the emperor can agree."

"Oh?"

He closed his mouth, which was about to open, and let out a doubt.

Ye Ning has never asked himself, nor is he a greedy person.

So when Qi Xiunian heard Ye Ning's words, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he still grinned suddenly.

"Ye Ning, if you have any request, you can just say it directly, and I categorically promise it to you!"

The relationship between the two has already surpassed everything.

So Qi Xiunian agreed without hesitation.

But the moment he turned his head and saw Ye Ning's eyes, he suddenly regretted slightly in his heart.

"Ye Ning, what do you want?"

After being silent for a while, Qi Xiunian's smile slowly froze, and then he finally looked at Ye Ning suspiciously.

"Ye Ning hopes that the emperor can find someone who is more suitable for the position of guard than me."

"...You want to resign?!!!"

He frowned, thinking about Ye Ning's request.

But after understanding this sentence in his mind, Qi Xiunian's eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at the other party in disbelief.

"Ye Ning, now your reputation in the court is unprecedentedly high, and those old courtiers have no objections to you."

"And now is the time when Xianchao needs you, why do you want to...?"

Doubt, puzzlement, curiosity, surprise...

At this moment, many thoughts appeared in Qi Xiunian's eyes, making him full of confusion.

"..."

He didn't say a word for a while, just looked forward silently.

Ye Ning moved his Adam's apple in silence, closed his eyes, and seemed to return to half a month ago in a trance.

"Ye Ning, are you really willing to exchange this price for a wick of the spirit lamp? You know, once you agree, there is no room for regret!"

"Ah."

"You... Once you take over the wick, from now on, even if you become a Daluo Jinxian, your lifespan will not increase at all! You will become an ordinary person's lifespan, live and die ! Then what's the point of your hard training for so many years?!"

"...If you can accompany the one you love, hold your hand and grow old together... then life may not depend on the length. Senior... Ye Ning has no regrets, and I hope you will give the wick to Ye Ning , Ye Ning must be grateful!"

"...Okay... This is your own decision, and I hope you don't regret it..."

The pictures of the past emerged from my mind at this time, and flashed by again.

Ye Ning sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

In fact... like Xia Juan, he has become an ordinary person in terms of lifespan.

It's just that...it doesn't seem to be bad.

They are like an ordinary couple.

Will age and die like everyone else...

"Your Majesty, Ye Ning is still too young after all, in many places...not as familiar as the ministers in the court."

"not to mention……"

"Ye Ning wants to give the rest of the time to his family...to Xia Juan, to his children."

"So... Your Majesty, please forgive Ye Ning for being selfish..."

"The rest of the time... you...?" Looking at Ye Ning, she was silent for a while, without saying a word.

Qi Xiunian had long since lost the surprise just now, replaced by a burst of deep thought.

I don't know how long it took.

He sighed lightly and nodded his head.

"I understand... I agree to your resignation..."

"correct!"

Suddenly, Qi Xiunian thought of something.

"I... am I going to be an uncle?"

In an instant, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 1381 Epilogue 6

It was late at night.

The rumbling thunderstorm came suddenly, making more people dare not leave their homes in this severe winter, and filled the whole world with a bone-piercing chill.

On the outskirts of the capital.

At this time, it was already pitch black, and no one passed by, no one walked by.

The torrential rain wets every strong climbing tree and breaks up the clumps of dirt on the ground.

Under the crackling and rumbling rain and thunder.

An arm covered with mud and dust and full of solidified marks finally protruded out of the darkness tremblingly, bathed in the moonlight, as if a ghost stood out, which made people feel anxious.

Snapped!

The arm was full of blue veins, showing exhaustion.

With an effort, he suddenly fell to the ground, dragging his body with difficulty.

It was a ragged, beggar-like man...

In this dirty dust, in the dark night, under the cover of the storm.

He is like a ghost without a face, his face is completely covered by hair, like a homeless beggar.

He turned over the mud slope in front of him, limped, and walked forward with difficulty, silently.

I don't know how long it took.

Waiting to slowly raise his head.

In front of him, under the thunderstorm, a simple tombstone appeared in the field of vision with the burst of lightning.

A few ugly fonts were written crookedly on it.

The beggar smiled bitterly, but it was more like relief and longing.

Is it finally... here? !

A faint smile slowly spread across that stained and muddy face.

The beggar limped to the tombstone, but when he accidentally kicked a piece of his foot in the dark night, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground with a plop.

fell before the tombstone.

"Cough cough..."

The clothes on his body were solidified blood and countless mud.

The beggar struggled to wipe away the sand splashed on his face.

At this moment, he wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that he had no strength anymore.

Grit your teeth and close your eyes.

The beggar tried several times but couldn't get up, so he had to support his body with his hands again, and climbed to the tombstone.

This time, he could finally take a good rest.

Beside her...the only relative.

only……

There is a secret that no one will know.

Panting, gasping for breath in embarrassment.

He coughed violently, but a pair of trembling hands suddenly inserted into the ground not far from the tombstone.

The ground is soft after being wet by rain.

But even so, all this is still difficult for him who is now depleted of mana and seriously injured.

His hands were bloody from digging.

After all, even he himself has never thought about it... There will be a day when it will be difficult for him to even break through the ground...

It's just that hard work pays off.

The moment a thunderbolt suddenly exploded above the head.

A hard object was also touched by the beggar's finger at this moment.

The excitement suddenly rose at this moment.

He hurriedly took out the box and opened it immediately.

Inside the box was a shimmering elixir.

Even if you only glance at it, you will know that it is an extraordinary product.
