The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 263
Chapter 263 All Destiny
Xiao Xiwei did not expect Du E to come looking for her. She panicked and asked someone to invite him in. The first thing she said to him was, “Why are you here? Didn’t I ask Zi Yan to tell you that you didn’t have to come to see me?”
When he came to see her, wouldn’t Xi Zhi know that he was found by someone she ordered?
Du Er saw Xiao Xiwei’s anxious expression and his pair of wounded and desperate eyes suddenly appeared in his mind. He said to him that he did not want to die … Inexplicably, his eyes suddenly turned red and tears seemed to gush out of his eyes.
“What’s wrong? But what happened to Xi Zhi?” Seeing Du Er’s expression, Xiao Xiwei’s feet became empty. Immediately, she could no longer care about anything. She rushed to Du Er and reached out to grab his wrist. Her pitch-black eyes stared straight at Du Er, not daring to miss the slightest bit of his expression.
The intense pain on his wrist made Du Er feel a little distracted. “No, Empress, you misunderstood. The Emperor is fine.”
“Nothing? Nothing. Why are you looking like this?” Xiao Xiwei still didn’t believe it.
Over the past few months, Xizhi’s behavior had been too abnormal. Her heart felt as if it was being soaked in cold water at all times. She was shivering and panicking with cold. However, she did not dare to ask or say anything. She could only pretend that she was fine.
Being stared at by Xiao Xiwei like this, Du Er, who had never lied, was immediately dumbfounded.
Looking at Du E’s expression, Xiao Xiwei’s tense string broke with a’bang ‘. In an instant, tears flowed down like a river that had burst its banks. Her eyes darkened, and her entire body fell backwards abruptly.
“The Empress …”
“Your Highness …”
In an instant, the Phoenix Ceremony Hall was in a mess.
When Xiao Xiwei slowly woke up, it was already dark. Bi Yun and Zi Yan stayed by the side with red eyes. Seeing that she woke up, the two of them turned around and shouted behind her, “Master, the Empress is awake.”
Hearing the commotion, Du Er hurriedly walked over. He first took Xiao Xiwei’s pulse, then raised his hand to probe Xiao Xiwei’s forehead. After confirming that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. He said to Bi Yun and Zi Yan, who were guarding by the side, “Your Highness was just too sad. She only needed to rest for a few days.”
Hearing this, Bi Yun and Zi Yan heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
“All of you, get out.” At this time, Xiao Xiwei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.
“Your Highness” Bi Yun looked at Xiao Xiwei worriedly.
Xiao Xiwei did not say anything. She stretched out her hand and sat up. She looked at Du Er with a cold gaze. “I have something to say to Master Du Er.”
Before Bi Yun could leave, Zi Yan stretched out her hand and pulled Bi Yun, “Let’s go.” After saying that, he dragged Bi Yun out.
‘”Du E, I know that Xizhi is very sick. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly pulled a palace maid as a sword shield. I know that he was afraid that I would be sad, but I just want to know how sick he is now. Is there still … is there any way to save him?” Xiao Xiwei raised his head to look at Du E, his eyes filled with tears.
“Your Highness … His Majesty’s illness, his illness will be cured.” After a moment of silence, Du Er finally spoke in a deep voice.
“Why don’t you look into my eyes and talk?” Xiao Xiwei’s tears gushed out again.
Du Er lowered his head and fell silent for a moment.
He had never lied, nor did he know how to lie at all. Therefore, facing Xiao Xiwei’s doubts, he could not say anything.
“How could this be? He was clearly well-behaved, how could he suddenly develop such a serious illness? Could it be that there’s nothing even you can do?” Xiao Xiwei looked at Du E, tears rolling down his face.
“Your Highness …”
“Du Er, aren’t you a miraculous doctor? Back then, when I gave birth to Ye’er, it was so dangerous. Didn’t you also save me?” Xiao Xi looked at Crossing Calamity with a faint hint of hope burning in his sad eyes.
“Your Highness …”
“Why can’t you do anything? Why can’t you do anything?” Xiao Xiwei’s eyes fell. She stretched out her hand and tugged at the front of her chest. She felt as if her chest was being scratched by a giant beast with its claws. With a single use, she was so painful that she could not even shout.
She thought that the heavens gave her a chance to revive was to pity the suffering she had suffered in her previous life, so she was given a chance to choose happiness. But why did she push her so hard just when she thought happiness was within reach, and ruthlessly sucked away the happiness in her hands!
Why?
God, why are you so cruel to me!
I can do nothing, I just want to cherish it! I just want to cherish it! Why did you take him away!
“Your Highness” Seeing Xiao Xi’s heart-wrenching pain, even Du Er couldn’t help but shed tears.
He really wanted to help them, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Xiwei reached out his hand and covered his chest as he cried out, “Exactly why? If I committed too many killings, then the heavens will punish me! Why put all of this on Xi Zhi! The damned person should be me! What’s wrong with Xi Zhi? Why didn’t he take my life away?”
“Niang Niang, actually, this is not your fault …” Being shaken by Xiao Xiwei’s wailing, Du Er hesitated and finally spoke slowly, “This is Senior Brother’s own choice …”
Xiao Xi shed tears and stared stiffly at Du Er with a blank expression.
Du E gritted his teeth.
Forget it, at this time, who else could he hide from? Regardless of whether it was Senior Brother or Xiao Xiwei, they had already guessed what the other party was thinking. It was just that they were afraid that the other party would be sad. No one dared to pierce through this layer of paper. Rather than making them feel sad, it was better to cherish the rest of their days.
“Your Highness, all of this is Senior Brother’s own choice. That day, he chose to go against the heavens and change his fate. Now, he naturally has to endure the consequences of going against the heavens and changing his fate. Everything is destined, and no one can change it.”
“Heaven defying, changing fate? You, what are you talking about …”
Du Er sighed. “The Empress has already been buried in the sea of fire. The reason why she was able to come back to life is all because Senior Brother used his own Emperor’s blood to activate the Reincarnation Mirror and go against the heavens. In the end, she reversed her fate. The price she paid was his life …”
“No, this … how is this possible?” Xiao Xiwei shook his head, his grieving eyes were deathly silent and unbelievable.
No wonder, no wonder she was alive even though she was clearly dead!
No wonder she and Xizhi had memories of their previous lives!
No wonder he said those words to himself after Hongyu left!
So, so it was because of this …
“Why? Why did he do this … Why did he do this!” Xiao Xiwei suddenly reached out and covered her mouth, tearing her heart and crying again.
He had been the one to blame for what had happened to her in her previous life. She had clearly wronged him and let him down. Why would he change his fate for a person like her? Not worth it, not worth it at all!
Xizhi, why are you so stupid!
Why are you so stupid!
Du Er raised his hand and whispered the Buddha’s name, “Your Highness, this life is full of reincarnation and reincarnation. This life’s parting may be the beginning of the next life’s reunion. You should also think about it …”
Although he knew that his words were not a comfort to Xiao Xiwei, it was him. He had been visiting famous mountains and rivers all these years, wanting to find a way to save Chu Xizhi’s life in this world. Master once said that although his perception was high, sometimes he was too obsessed with life and death …
Even he couldn’t see through it, let alone Xiao Xiwei.
“Think about it … Haha, how can I think about it …”
In this life, she would probably never be able to think of it.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across Xiao Xiwei’s mind. She raised her eyes and looked towards Du E. “You just said that you used your own blood to activate the Reincarnation Mirror to change my fate! Then, if it was me, could you do it again?”
Du Er was stunned, his gaze faintly looking at Xiao Xiwei without saying a word.
‘”What’s wrong? Could it be that my blood can’t be used? Do I have to use the Emperor’s blood to activate the Mirror of Samsara? My blood can’t be used. Then … Tianye’s blood? Tianye is the future son of heaven. Is his blood okay?” It was as if Xiao Xiwei had seen a ray of light in a desperate hell. He couldn’t wait to grab the ray of light in his hand.
“Your Highness, your blood can also activate the Reincarnation Mirror, but …”
“Just what!”
“It’s just that after Senior Brother successfully activated the Reincarnation Mirror, he personally smashed the mirror …”
He still remembered that Chu Xizhi was standing on that mountain peak. He said, If I keep this mirror and one day Ruoxi knows the truth and wants to use this method to save my life, then what should I do? I don’t want her to suffer such a sin. I just want her to live a peaceful and happy life …
Hearing this, the light in Xiao Xiwei’s eyes completely darkened. She gritted her teeth and silently cried again …
Xi Zhi, you’ve already thought of everything. What arrangements have you made, but I have already? Have you ever thought about what you would do if you left me alone?
What should I do?
“Your Highness, your fate can’t be changed. Rather than living in this sad future, it doesn’t seem like you are living in the present.” After saying that, Du E raised his hand and bowed to Xiao Xiwei. Then, he raised his voice and said, “South Five Amitabha.” After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked out of the door while chanting the Buddha Pearl in his hand.
Fate cannot be changed …
Du Er’s words echoed in Xiao Xiwei’s ears again and again.
If, as he had said, her fate could not be changed, she would rather stay by Xizhi’s side than grieve here …
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiwei hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, lifted the blanket, stood up, and shouted towards the door, “Someone, come.”
“Your Highness.” Zi Yan and Bi Yun, who had been guarding the door, hurriedly walked in when they heard the noise.
“Quickly change my clothes. I’m going to the Revered Virtue Palace.” Xiao Xi looked at the pitch-black night outside with determination in her eyes.
Xizhi, if you don’t want me to know, then I’ll never know. And now, I just want to guard you …
As long as I can guard you, even if it’s only for one day, it will still be a lifetime for me …
I only beg the heavens to give me more time to accompany you, one more day, one more day, one more day …
