Arc 4 Extra 2

 

The space water being used to cure the plague must have its drawbacks, but adding a little bit of medicinal herbs would give a miraculous effect.

 

After the plague in Mo City was taken care of, Fan Yin returned to the capital with Shen Jiayan.

 

It was in the middle of winter in the Capital and the snow was swirling in the air. There was an old friend who boiled the snow to make tea long ago, and was prepared to welcome them.

 

Yu Chiyan greeted them to sit down on the soft and thick sheep wool felt blanket. Yu Chiyan’s entire body was buried in the red fox fur coat. His lips were pale and even though the room was as warm as spring, there was no trace of blood in his face.

 

Last time when he left Mo City, although Yu Chiyan looked somewhat thin, he didn’t look as lifeless as he did now.

 

Yu Chiyan took out a copper coin from his pocket. The copper coin had already changed its shape and there was a stain of blood on it, “That day, I was returning to the Capital with the ledger when I ran into an ambush. The entire wide canyon was filled with archers.”

 

As he said those, Yu Chiyan’s fingertips turned slightly whiter as he held on to the tea cup, “Ah Niu protected me to death. By the time we escaped, his body was densely covered in arrows. The last arrow that was aimed at me, was shot by the Crown Prince himself. It can be said to be an arrow through the heart. If it were not for this coin, there would no longer be a person called Yu Chiyan in this world.”

 

When he saw the deep-to-the-bone hatred in Yu Chiyan’s eyes, Fan Yin asked in a cold voice, “So what are you planning to do?”

 

“I previously informed Father Emperor of the matter, but he said that a monarch must be like this, vicious, merciless and unscrupulous.” Yu Chiyan slowly finished drinking the tea in the cup before continuing, “If that is the case, Yu Chiyan will certainly follow the teachings of Father Emperor!”

 

Fan Yin looked at him, his expression was unperturbed, “Do you want to seize that position?”

 

“Yes.” Yu Chiyan looked back in a serene manner, but there was a shocking storm at the bottom of his eyes, “If Heaven gives it, I will take it; if Heaven does not give it, I will take it myself.”

 

Hearing this, Fan Yin reached out to hold Shen Jiayan’s hand under the table. He loosened and tightened his hold, then finally said, “Alright, I’ll help you.”

 

A bit of surprise surfaced on Yu Chiyan’s face. He forced out a smile, “I thought you would obstruct me by using the identity of Da Yong’s Guoshi, if not, you would only be watching on the sidelines. But I never thought that you would say that you’ll help me.”

 

“As Yun Chen said before, I also believe that you will be a good emperor.” Fan Yin looked at Shen Jiayan, who was sipping tea by himself, and his(FY) eyes softened a little bit.

 

Yu Chiyan followed Fan Yin’s line of sight and immediately felt relieved.

 

Yu Chiyan stretched out his hand and grasped the copper coin tightly in his palm. Even though it hurts, he still didn’t want to let go.

 

In a trance, Yu Chiyan’s thoughts once again drifted back to the day he fell into dire straits in the mountains.

 

That man stubbornly carried him(YCY), and walked for more than a dozen miles of rugged mountain roads without having a red face or panting in exhaustion. However, while his wounds were being treated, his dark face suddenly flushed red and he said in a low voice, “My mother said that one must devote their lives to their life-saving grace. From now on, you are Ah Niu’s wife.”

 

This idiot!

 

He clearly didn’t respond to him at that time.

 

But he(Ah Niu) still ended up becoming a corpse without any bones left, in order to protect him(YCY)!

 

Yu Chiyan took the opportunity, when he drank the tea, to blink away the moisture in his eyes. But why didn’t he respond to him at that time?

 

Time passed in a blink of an eye, it was the Major Cold1.

 

It was the coldest day in Da Yong. It was also the coldest day in the Palace.

 

Yu Chiyan walked with winding bloodstains on his feet. He slowly, step by step, walked towards the Old Emperor who was lying down on the sick bed. He wore a sneer on his face, “Father Emperor, you said that an emperor must be unscrupulous, therefore my Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother were killed by a cup of poisoned wine by this son; you said that an emperor must be vicious and merciless, therefore this son must kill all of the people who opposes. Wouldn’t you say that this son can be considered a suitable Crown Prince?”

 

“You–You traitorous son! This throne belongs to your Eldest Brother….” The Old Emperor glared at him. He was so angry that he couldn’t even breathe.

 

Yu Chiyan nodded his head, “Yes, Father Emperor naturally expects the most from Eldest Brother. But no matter what you think, the name on this Imperial Edict could only have the name ‘Yu Chiyan’ after all.”

 

After Yu Chiyan finished speaking, he pressed the jade ruler’s seal on the previously-prepared Imperial Edict right in front of the Old Emperor.

 

The Old Emperor’s face flushed red, he repeatedly voiced out several “You” until he breathed his last breath, it was the day he died. His eyes were wide open when he died, apparently dying with remaining grievances.

 

Yu Chiyan stepped forward, he reached out his hand to close the Old Emperor’s eyes, “Ah, Father Emperor, how could this son allow himself to turn into a cold-blooded person like you? As for Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother, you can be at ease. I will let them live ‘for a long time’ and let them live ‘well’.”

 

Because only by living can they slowly atone for the sins they have committed, isn’t that right?

 

On the day Yu Chiyan ascended to the throne, Fan Yin and Shen Jiayan came to him to bid him farewell.

 

Yu Chiyan tried to retain them, “If you’re willing to stay here, the position of Guoshi will still be yours. Whatever you want, Zhen will give it to you. So much so that whatever you want to do with Su Yichen, Zhen will ensure that no one will talk about it.”

 

“No need.” Fan Yin took Shen Jiayan’s hand, “For the remaining part of my life, having Yun Chen is enough.”

 

Yu Chiyan couldn’t urge them to stay and could only stand still for a long time, looking at the two people’s leaving backs. He sofly sighed: From now on, he has really become someone who has chosen to follow a solitary path.

 

At this point, inside the Imperial Palace, there was one less Fan Yin-Guoshi; but on the rivers and lakes, there was one more divine doctor.

If one wanted to ask for the divine doctor’s help, they must first ask his wife. If they could please his wife or if they could attract his wife’s compassion, the divine doctor would be willing to save the person.

 

Moreover, this divine doctor’s fee for saving people was also very unusual, he only accepted one freshly-picked lotus flower.

 

Because no one had ever seen this divine doctor’s wife, there were rumors that say that the divine doctor’s wife looked like a heavenly fairy. However, there were also some people who said that the divine doctor’s wife was as ugly as a toad. However, there was no need to doubt one thing, the divine doctor’s wife was truly very kind-hearted.

 

“Shifu, do you really like lotuses so much?” Shen Jiayan placed the newly delivered lotus flower in the pond and looked back with a smile, “Look at this, there’s no more space to fill for this pond.”

 

When he looked back with a smile, the whole space was filled with brilliance. Even this pond filled with lotus flowers couldn’t compare to his beautiful face.

 

“On the day of the Flower God Festival, you gave me a lotus flower lantern. On that day, giving a lantern was meant to express liking that person.” Fan Yin gently took the person into his arms, “I owe you a flower lantern. That’s why I thought that I will send you lotus flowers for a lifetime, is that alright?”

 

Shen Jiayan’s eyes were slightly damp. He smiled and kissed Fan Yin’s lips before saying “Okay”.

 

Afterwards, the legend of the divine doctor and his wife was spread for a very long time.

 

Even after a hundred years later, the descendants of those who were saved by the divine doctor, would often go to the house and send a lotus flower in its most beautiful state of blooming.
