He coldly watched as Shen Miao fought with Mei Furen in the Inner Palace until she was covered in injuries. He watched as her eyes dimmed and her haggard expression.
Finally when Fu Xiu Yi asked him how to deal with the Shen family descendant, he said these words without thinking.
Cut the weeds and remove the roots.
Cut the weeds in his heart and remove the roots in his heart.
But he did not expect that Fu Xiu Yi would cut the weeds and remove the roots and even remove Fu Ming. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs but Fu Xiu Yi could even lay his hands on his own flesh and blood. Wan Yu could still use the excuse that it was an accident on the road but Fu Ming could only use Fu Xiu Yi's orders.
Pei Lang remembered Shen Miao's eyes when she heard of Fu Ming's death. That pair of black and white eyes were wide open and there were no tears but it was so miserable that one could not bear to look at it.
That big fire burned for three days and three nights but it burned Pei Lang's heart of regret.
He went to find the abbot of Pu Tuo Monastery and asked how to remove the hindrance in one's heart.
The abbot was an old monk and looked at him and shook his head, "Heart disease needs medicine to cure."
Was there any medicine for regret in this world?
Pei Lang sought the eminent monk's guidance and the monk said, "The reason why benefactor frequently dreams of old friends is because you owe them. She could not dissipate in your dreams because there is resentment that has not been resolved. Unable to reincarnate and unable to obtain liberation. "
Pei Lang panicked and asked if there was a solution.
The monk asked in reply, "To set the past mistakes right and seek for a chance to start again. If benefactor's life is needed, is benefactor willing?"
Pei Lang said, "Willing."
That monk said, "Benefactor should return."
"Why must one return?" Pei Lang was puzzled.
"Benefactor is willing to pay with one's life but one need to wait for that opportunity."
"That opportunity … What opportunity does it refer to?" Pei Lang asked.
"Benefactor still owes people and has an unfulfilled wish. When the old friend's wish is fulfilled, benefactor will sacrifice his own life and perhaps there would be a chance of survival. " The monk said an Amitabha and said, "This is all that is said. This poor monk is unable to say more."
Pei Lang thanked the monk and returned to the Palace.
What was Shen Miao's unfulfilled wish?
Shen Miao's entire life was miserable and lonely. Most likely she wanted to see the enemy go to hell and the Shen family regain their innocence.
There was a chance to start again but one must wait. Wait or not?
Wait. Pei Lang made his decision.
This life was so long, so long that he was willing to use this life to make up for a mistake.
…
Winter passed and spring came. Wild geese came and went.
When a dynasty's fate was nearing its end, the aura of decline would envelop it.
Ming Qi was no longer the Ming Qi of the past. Exorbitant taxes, taxes and corvee labor, the common people had no way to make a living, corrupt officials colluded with each other, the court was in chaos, and the emperor was fatuous.
The Crown Prince, on the other hand, was busy forming cliques all day long, wishing that he could ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Taking back the military power but without a good general to drive them, Ming Qi was a piece of fat meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of.
The faraway Great Liang attacked and annexed the Qin country and finally launched an attack on Ming Qi. Like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, victory came too easily as they fought all the way to the gates of the Ding capital.
After setting up camp, everyone in the Ding capital felt insecure and the common people's doors were tightly shut as the atmosphere of the country's demise filled the air.
In that big tent, someone was sitting and polishing a longsword.
"Ming Qi's fate has come to an end." The white clad gentleman waved his folding fan as he walked in and there was no emotion in his voice, "Heard that the Imperial Palace is being cleaned up tonight."
The ones that needed to be cleaned up were the womenfolk in the Palace, the concubines, palace maids and even the Imperial Princess. Rather than falling into the enemy's hands to be humiliated, it was better to die cleanly and preserve one's integrity.
