Chapter 186 Perfect Ending
The days passed leisurely, and Yunxi and the prince entered their twilight years.
On this day, the sunlight shone softly in the courtyard of the marquis's mansion.
Yunxi sat steadily in the rocking chair with her eyes closed. The wrinkles on her face were like the bark of an old tree, but her expression was peaceful and serene.
The prince was standing aside, holding a book in his hand. He would glance at the book for a while, then look up at Yunxi. His eyes were full of affection and attachment.
"Your Highness, do you remember what happened when we first met?"
Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, pulled up the corners of her mouth, and revealed a smile.
The prince put down the book, walked over to Yunxi in a few steps, stretched out his hand and held her hand tightly, "How could I not remember!
At that time, you were like a fairy descending to earth, saving me when I was in the most desperate situation."
As he was speaking, Cui'er came over briskly, holding a cup of tea in her hands. "Your Majesty, Madam, have some tea."
Yunxi took the teacup, raised her orchid finger, and took a sip. "Cui'er, I'm grateful for having you by my side all these years."
Cui Er smiled and said, "It is Cui Er's blessing to be able to serve Madam and the Prince."
As he was speaking, Li Ming, the young master of the Marquisate, ran in like a gust of wind, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm here to see you!"
Li Ming's little face was red from running, beads of sweat were hanging on his forehead, and his big eyes were shining.
Yunxi quickly reached out her hand and pulled Li Ming to her side, looking at him lovingly, "Good boy, run slowly and don't fall."
As he spoke, he gently wiped the sweat from Li Ming's forehead with a handkerchief.
Li Ming ran to Yunxi, waving his arms excitedly, "Grandma, I learned a lot in school today."
The prince smiled and patted Li Ming's head. "Well, you will become a pillar of the country in the future."
In the afternoon, Yunxi and the prince were walking in the garden. Yunxi was wearing plain clothes and her steps were a little unsteady, while the prince bent slightly and carefully supported her.
The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, red and purple, and it is very lively.
"Your Highness, I have no regrets in being able to accompany you throughout my life." Yunxi said softly with a satisfied smile on her face, which showed the traces of time.
The prince stopped and looked at Yunxi affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness, "Madam, I feel the same way."
Suddenly, Wanru, the daughter of the Marquis, came to the garden with her child.
Wanru was wearing a pink long dress and an exquisite hair accessory on her head, looking dignified and beautiful.
"Madam Yunxi, Your Highness." Wanru bowed slightly, with the corners of her mouth raised, showing a bit of respect.
Yunxi smiled and said, "Wanru, come, let's take a walk together."
Wanru's child hid timidly behind her, poking out his little head and looking around curiously.
Seeing this, Yunxi squatted down and waved to the child, "Come, come to grandma."
The child hesitated for a moment, then walked over slowly.
Everyone was chatting and laughing in the garden, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Yunxi was often amused by the childish talk of Li Ming and Wanru, while the prince looked on with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Unconsciously, the sun gradually set in the west, and in the evening, everyone in the marquis's mansion gathered together for dinner.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the aroma filled the air. The prince sat at the head of the table, cleared his throat, and said, "Today's meal, our family must enjoy it thoroughly."
Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Yes, everyone, don't be restrained and eat more."
Li Ming couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, "It smells so good!"
Wanru scolded softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Everyone was chatting and eating, it was very lively.
Cui'er was busy adding food to everyone's plate, her face filled with joy.
The housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion stood aside, looking at this heartwarming scene, a relieved smile on his face.
Everyone nodded, and there was constant laughter and joy at the table.
After dinner, Yunxi and the prince returned to their room.
"Your Highness, I'm a little tired." Yunxi said weakly, moving towards the bed.
Her face was pale, her steps were unsteady, and she seemed to have lost all her energy.
The prince hurried forward and extended his strong arms to support Yunxi, "Madam, be careful."
As he said this, he carefully helped Yunxi onto the bed.
Yunxi lay on the bed, frowned slightly, and sighed softly.
The prince sat beside the bed, looking at her with eyes full of heartache, and reached out to help her smooth the messy hair on her forehead.
The days passed slowly, but Yunxi's health deteriorated and she became weaker and weaker.
On this day, Yunxi lay on the familiar bed, her eyes dull and her consciousness a little blurred.
The prince was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, "Go get a doctor!
What are you all standing there for? "
The doctor came hurriedly, jogging, and took Yunxi's pulse.
After checking her pulse, he looked solemn and shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Madam is..."
When the prince heard this, his eyes widened, and he rushed over and grabbed the doctor by the collar, "Nonsense!
No matter what, we must save the lady!"
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion had a gloomy face at this time, and no one dared to breathe. The entire mansion was immersed in sorrow.
Yunxi struggled to open her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, "Prince, don't be sad. I am satisfied to be able to spend my life with you."
The prince rushed to the bedside, tightly grasped Yunxi's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, you will be fine, no!"
However, Yunxi's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and her eyes slowly closed, as if she had used up her last bit of strength.
"Madam!" The prince cried heartbreakingly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. His grief-stricken look made anyone cry.
The Marquis' Mansion held a grand funeral for Yunxi. When the dignitaries in the capital heard about it, they came to pay their respects.
The pomp and ceremony really made people sigh at the status of the Marquis' Mansion and the weight of Yunxi in everyone's hearts.
The prince was dressed in plain clothes and stood in front of Yunxi's tomb, unwilling to leave for a long time.
His eyes were red and swollen, his expression was dull, and he muttered to himself: "Madam, you left and left me alone..." From then on, the prince often came to Yunxi's grave alone, standing in a daze, or sitting on the ground, recalling every little detail of their past.
The time they spent together flashed through his mind like a movie.
Many years later, the prince also came to the end of his life.
Before his death, the prince's eyes were blurred and he muttered, "Madam, I came to find you..."
The Marquis' Mansion held a funeral for the prince, and in accordance with the prince's wishes before his death, he was buried together with Yunxi.
Their love story became a legend in the capital and is still told today.
