Chapter 716: The Whole Family Wearing Modern Clothes
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
(This version has nothing to do with the previous two chapters. The content of chapter 713 is the version where Taoist Master Changqing did not appear.)
Shi Qingluo’s body was weakening day by day, and it looked very worrying.
In order to not let her family and friends worry and be sad, and to find a reasonable reason for the family to leave, she told them that the old immortal master missed her and wanted to take her away.
If she went, she would be enjoying herself.
Because the old immortal was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even Kong Yuelan and the others believed in his existence.
Because of this, they often heard Shi Qingluo’s comforting words, and they slowly accepted it.
They were just worried that if Shi Qingluo was taken away by the old immortal, what would happen to Xiao Hanzheng and the two children?
At this moment, Shi Qingluo began to guide them, saying that she had dreamed of her master.
Master said that it was better for their family to be reunited, so he wanted to take them to heaven to enjoy life.
Kong Yuelan and the others still believed her words.
At first, she was reluctant to part with Xiao Hanzheng and the two little ones.
However, as Shi Qingluo spoke more, they thought that this family was going to enjoy life with the old immortal. Perhaps they would have unlimited longevity in the future. That was better than staying in the mortal world.
With this thought, she gradually let go.
After another half a month, the time Shi Qingluo woke up was getting shorter and shorter.
On this day, she suddenly dreamed of a lake outside the capital. She dreamed of her family of four boating.
Then, she switched to the modern world. She dreamed that her body’s organs were about to fail.
In other words, if she didn’t go back now, she might really die.
When she woke up, she saw her little husband sitting by the bed, working while watching over her.
Ever since she fell unconscious that time, she had told her little husband about the modern world. He had gone to the Emperor to apply for his office to be at home.
It was to protect her.
“Zheng Zheng, we might have to leave.”
“I dreamed of the lake outside the capital. My family was rowing on it. I had a feeling that it was an opportunity for us to leave.”
Xiao Hanzheng held her hand.
“Three days later, we’ll go for a boat trip on the lake,” Shi Qingluo said according to her feelings.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Okay!”
He went to the Ministry of Revenue the next day and handed over all the official duties to his trained right-hand men.
Then, he went into the palace and gave the Emperor the plans that he had written for the benefit of the country and the people, as well as some follow-up arrangements for his official business.
The Emperor had a lot of spies and Xiao Hanzheng did not intend to hide it, so they knew what had happened to the Liang Family.
He could tell that Xiao Hanzheng was about to give his final instructions, so he could not help but ask, “Did your wife really dream that her old immortal master was coming to pick you up?
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, in three days.”
If his wife’s feeling was right, then their entire family would disappear. There was no need to hide such a mysterious matter. The Emperor was skeptical. “What if it was just a dream?”
“Then let’s live our lives as usual, ” Xiao Hanzheng replied.
The Emperor thought for a moment and said, “If you are really taken away by the old immortal, you can also ask me in a dream if you have the chance. Tell me what it’s like up there.”
He thought that he was the true dragon and son of heaven after all. If he went there one day, he might be able to go to that so-called top.
So he asked Xiao Hanzheng to tell him in his dream.
Xiao Hanzheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not expect the Emperor to say that.
It seemed that although the Emperor did not believe everything, he believed most of it.
It had to be said that his wife had been too successful in making the old immortal master take the blame all these years.
He smiled and nodded. “Alright!”
In the remaining two days, Xiao Baili, Xi Rui, and Xiao Hanyi also brought their wives to live in King Yi’s mansion.
Everyone ate lunch and dinner together every day.
Shi Qingluo also seemed to have regained her senses. She had not slept for more than half a day in the past two days. She was as normal as before and was reunited with her family and friends.
At the same time, she also arranged the assets in her hands.
She left half of it for the Liang Family and donated the remaining half to do good deeds.
On this day, the family took a carriage to the lakeside in the suburbs of the capital.
Xiao Hanzheng had a boat prepared for them and the family of four got on the boat with Daidai.
Liang Yulin, Concubine Kong, and the others stood by the lake and watched.
There were also people who knew the news in advance and secretly ran nearby to peek.
The Emperor’s secret guards also sneaked over.
When the boat reached the center of the lake, Shi Qingluo got the two little ones to wave goodbye to her grandparents and the others.
Recently, she had already told the two little ones in advance that their family was going to other places and would never see their grandparents again. The two little ones were very sad at first, but they gradually accepted it.
Hence, they waved at their grandparents and the others.
The breath that was supporting Shi Qingluo suddenly dissipated.
She leaned into Xiao Hanzheng’s arms. “Zheng Zheng, I will wait for you over there.”
“If you can’t find me, do something so that I can see you. Then I’ll go find you.” Xiao Hanzheng hugged Shi Qingluo and nodded. “Okay, we must be neat and tidy wherever we go.”
Then, Shi Qingluo reached out and pulled the two children. She touched Daidai, lowered her hands, and closed her eyes. She stopped breathing.
Even though he had expected it, Xiao Hanzheng still felt his heart ache when he saw that his wife was not breathing.
Then, he reached out and pulled the two children and Daidai into his arms.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the entire lake began to shake.
The people standilu by the lake were stunned.
Then, they saw a whirlpool suddenly appear in the center of the lake, engulfing the entire ship.
When the ship completely disappeared, the gale also disappeared.
“Heavens, Princess Fu Bao’s family really disappeared.”
“So the old immortal really wanted to pick them up.”
“This is too amazing. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
The people who were peeking widened their eyes in disbelief.
Kong Yuelan’s eyes were red as she leaned into Liang Yulin’s arms. Although she was reluctant to part with them, she was happy for her eldest son and his family to live in a better place.
Xiao Baili, Xiao Hanyi, and the others had similar thoughts.
The Emperor soon learned of this matter and ordered people to go to the lake to salvage the boat.
Who would have thought that even after flipping the entire lake over, they still could not find the boat, let alone the body of the family of four and the goose?
This also confirmed the fact that the old immortal had come to pick up Princess Fu Bao’s family to enjoy life in heaven.
While people were envious, this matter also became a much-told story.
The people who did not believe in the existence of the old immortal before completely believed it this time.
Because of this, the Taoist temple in Xiaxi Village was even more prosperous.
On the other side, in the hospital ward.
Shi Qingluo slowly opened her eyes and saw a white wall.
Her body was very weak, and she could only move her fingers.
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang in her ear. “Sister is awake, Sister is awake.”
Another voice immediately opened the door and shouted, “Doctor, doctor, come quickly! My sister is awake!”
