We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 398: We Womens Tears Are Shed for Our Beloved to Cherish

After Xiao Shiʼs death and Xiao Mo took command of the Northern Frontier army, another half year passed.

During this half year, aside from occasional friction at the borders, most places within the Qin Kingdom remained peaceful. Many common folk even forgot that the Qin Kingdom was currently at war with various nations.

As for news about the Qin Kingdomʼs crown prince, there was still little progress.

Those ministers continued to recommend various princes with royal blood, but the Qin Kingdomʼs ruler hadnʼt agreed to any of them.

The crown prince position remained vacant.

Some court officials speculated whether His Majesty wanted to father another prince and then continue cultivating him.

Some court officials even speculated that His Majesty was waiting for the Frost Prince and Third Princess Qin Siyao to give birth to an imperial grandson who could inherit the throne but the Frost Prince and Third Princess werenʼt even married yet.

In any case, no one could figure out what His Majesty intended to do.

In comparison, the Qin Kingdomʼs ruler had Qin Siyao help him handle government affairs every day.

In the beginning, Qin Siyaoʼs handling of various court matters was indeed rather immature but Qin Siyao was extremely talented.
Actually, long ago, the Qin Kingdomʼs ruler had known his daughter was very intelligent. After all, when his daughter was born, heavenly phenomena had appeared.

It was just that his daughter had lived too comfortably, so she didnʼt take many things to heart. She was simply too lazy, which was why her talent didnʼt show but what the Qin Kingdomʼs ruler hadnʼt expected was that when his daughter truly became serious, her learning speed was genuinely frightening.

With some key points, the Qin Kingdomʼs ruler only needed to give simple reminders and she could completely understand, even able to draw inferences from one example.

Only because Qin Siyao was a daughter.

Otherwise, if Qin Siyao had been a third prince, perhaps the crown prince position would have had nothing to do with her two brothers.

The only thing the Qin Kingdomʼs ruler felt regretful about was that his own time was still too short.

If he could live a few more years and pave the way a bit more for his daughter, perhaps his daughterʼs future would be easier but in this world, there were no ”ifs.”

And also during this half year, Empress Shiʼs health declined day by day.

Xiao Mo also frequently entered the palace to visit Empress Shi.

Perhaps because Empress Shi truly couldnʼt bear to leave her daughter, that final breath still hadnʼt dispersed.

In Xiao Moʼs view, for Empress Shi to hold on until now was truly not easy but all things must come to an end.

Xiao Mo knew that this reasonable empressʼs final days were very likely within these next few days.

On this particular morning, Qin Siyao came to her motherʼs sleeping chambers as usual, intending to brew medicine for her mother as usual but Empress Shi grasped her daughterʼs wrist and smiled, ”Siyao, Mother doesnʼt really want to take medicine today. You donʼt need to busy yourself. Just accompany Mother for a walk, alright?”

Hearing her motherʼs words, Qin Siyao seemed to understand something. Her eyes trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes became veiled with a faint mist.

Qin Siyao pressed her lips together, forcibly suppressing the tears in her eyes. She nodded with a smile, ”Alright, Mother. Siyao will help you up right away.”

Empress Shi was helped up by her daughter and sat before the vanity.

Qin Siyao personally helped her mother with her makeup and changed her clothes.

Half an hour later, Empress Shi led Qin Siyao out of the sleeping chambers.

The two of them walked step by step toward the imperial mausoleum in the palace.

The cenotaphs of First Prince Qin Jingsu and Second Prince were both located here.

”Siyao, from now on, you must take good care of your father. Your father is someone who likes to handle everything personally. He works too hard. You must advise him more. Your father will only listen to your words.”

Walking along the path, Empress Shi entrusted these words to Qin Siyao.

”I understand, Mother.” Qin Siyao lowered her head and nodded.

”Also, having your father let you handle government affairs is a good thing. In the future, you should also pay more attention to court matters. As for those court officials, aside from your husband Xiao Mo, you cannot trust anyone. Understand?”

”I understand, Mother.”
