Chapter 182 Everyone's fate is predetermined. Let go of your obsession and cherish the person i
After the New Year, Emperor Ying decided to abdicate. Not only was he tired, but more importantly, he didn't want to see Chu Xingluo in despair all day long. He wanted him to take on the responsibility of a king. If he found something for him to do, maybe he would take some of his attention away from Xia Taoyuan.
After the Lantern Festival, when all officials had finished their annual leave, Emperor Ying went to court and announced his abdication, with the crown prince inheriting the throne. Moreover, the succession ceremony was to be held in ten days, which shocked all officials. This was too fast, but since the emperor had already made the decision and appointed a crown prince, no one objected.
On the day of the grand ceremony, Chu Xingluo took the throne. After that, he would read the memorials submitted by the ministers every day and would also give solutions. But only seven days later, after attending the court, Chu Xingluo did not even wear the dragon robe. He said: "I don't want to disobey my father. I have become the emperor as my father wished. Today I appoint Qingyun and Longyan as the left and right protectors of the country, and give each of them a mansion with a thousand taels of gold. The throne will be passed to the Southern King Chu Xingliang, and I will voluntarily demote myself to a commoner. From now on, any affairs of North Vietnam have nothing to do with me."
All the officials were shocked. They thought the throne was being kicked around like a ball. It was too much! Someone immediately reported this to Emperor Ying, who was so angry that he almost passed out. He had no choice but to sit back on the throne.
Chu Xingluo returned to the palace, packed some clothes, packed up Xia Taoyuan's things, carefully rolled up their wedding portrait, and asked Long Yan and Qingyun to send him to Taotao Garden, saying to them: "From now on, you go to protect Lao Wu, and don't worry about me anymore."
"Your Highness!" Long Yanqingyun was unwilling to leave. They grew up together.
"Let's go and take good care of Dai'er. Taotao said that she would find a good home for her. As for Yingge Fengwu and Heilong Queying, your uncle will settle them down. Take all the servants and maids in the palace that you can, and give more silver to those who you can't so that they can have food and clothing. You can use the silver in the treasury, and leave Taotao's dowry to Dai'er." Chu Xingluo's voice was hollow.
Long Yan Qingyun would naturally not leave. They were not greedy for fame and fortune. They were destined to protect Chu Xingluo since childhood.
Chu Xingluo hung the portrait in Taoyuan's bedroom, and he would stand in front of the portrait and look at it for a while every day. His longing for Xia Taoyuan became deeper and deeper, and whenever he couldn't bear it anymore, he would hurt himself, cutting a knife on his arm or leg to relieve the pain in his heart. Or he would run to the hillside where he and Xia Taoyuan had been, and shout Xia Taoyuan's name to the sky until he was hoarse.
Qingyun Longyan settled everything in the palace and also moved into Taoyuan. Every day, apart from cooking for Chu Xingluo and keeping Taoyuan spotless, he spent the rest of his time looking for Xia Taoyuan's whereabouts.
As the days passed, there was no news from Xia Taoyuan. Chu Xingluo's heart was broken and he couldn't bear the pain any more.
Chu Xingluo went to the Guanyin Temple and found the abbot and said that he wanted to become a monk. He really couldn't bear the pain of missing his mother.
The abbot looked at him, shook his head and said, "Donor, your earthly ties have not yet ended, please go back."
This sentence rekindled hope in Chu Xingluo's heart. He knelt on the ground and said, "Master, I can still see my wife, right? Please tell me clearly!"
The abbot nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "You two are destined to be together in previous lives. You should not be separated from each other in this life. But something unexpected happened in this life, and she returned to where she came from. She has to deal with the unexpected changes in this life before she can resume her relationship with you."
Chu Xingluo's newly ignited hope was extinguished again. This meant that he would never be able to see Taotao again in this life. In an instant, he collapsed to the ground.
The abbot shook his head, pulled him up, and said, "Donor, please go back."
"Master, if I end my life now and don't endure this bone-eating pain, will I be able to see her soon?" Chu Xingluo cried.
"Absolutely not. I advise you to let it go. Only when you let it go, can the person in your heart begin her fate in this life. If you can never let go, that person will never be able to adapt to the changes in this life, and you will never meet again." The abbot said this and left.
Chu Xingluo pondered the abbot's words, and he understood a little. He and Taotao were supposed to be destined to be together for life, but something unexpected happened in this life. As for what the unexpected thing was, he had the answer in his mind. It must be Qi Nanfeng, otherwise he would not disappear with Taotao.
Qi Nanfeng saved Taotao time and time again, even at the cost of his life, which invisibly entangled Taotao's fate with his, and made her owe him. It would have been fine if he hadn't fallen in love with Taotao, but he was full of affection for Taotao. Thinking of this, Chu Xingluo's heart ached again.
If he can't let go, Taotao will naturally be unable to let go when she senses his deep love, and he can't be with Qi Nanfeng. In this way, he and Taotao will never see each other again. Only when Taotao repays her debt of love and lives with Qi Nanfeng for the rest of her life, can he and Taotao see each other again.
Chu Xingluo staggered away and returned to Taotao Garden. In order to meet Xia Taoyuan again, he made up his mind not to think about it anymore and put away their portraits. At night, he dreamed of Xia Taoyuan. Hearing Xia Taoyuan crying sadly, his heart ached again. He was silent for a long time and said cruelly: Taotao, forget me. Even though Xia Taoyuan cried so hard, he tried his best to hold back and didn't say anything.
Chu Xingluo began to try to find something to do to distract himself. Hearing from Long Yan that Mu Yun had adopted many homeless children in a nearby village, he went to teach them to read and write every day.
Since Xia Taoyuan dreamed that Chu Xingluo asked her to forget him, she has been like a walking corpse every day. How can it be easy to forget? How can she forget? She often wondered if he and Ye Linglong had feelings for each other. This was good, and it would save him from suffering. But why was she in so much pain that she couldn't breathe?
Xia Taoyuan still went to Xiyun Pavilion every day, but she didn't dare to call Chu Xingluo's name anymore. He asked her to forget him and she shouldn't disturb him anymore!
She just sat in the pavilion every day, staring blankly.
The weather was getting warmer. One day, Xia Taoyuan suddenly remembered that Wei Zhiying had gone to the Guanyin Temple to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva before she arrived in North Vietnam, so she decided to go to the Guanyin Temple to find an answer.
Qi Nanfeng followed her wherever she went, because he was afraid something might happen to her. The two of them took a car for more than an hour to get to the Guanyin Temple. It was drizzling, and there were few people entering and leaving the temple.
Xia Taoyuan walked into the main hall of Guanyin Bodhisattva, knelt down and bowed, looked up and saw a middle-aged monk, she turned back to look at Qi Nanfeng and said, "Go wait for me outside."
Qi Nanfeng went out, Xia Taoyuan walked up to the middle-aged monk and said respectfully: "Master, I..."
The middle-aged monk glanced at her and interrupted her, "Donor, you are too obsessed. Everyone's fate is predetermined. Let go of your obsession and cherish the person in front of you." After that, he left.
Xia Taoyuan stood there in a daze. The middle-aged monk saw what she wanted to ask. When she came to her senses, the monk was nowhere to be found. She ran out to look for him for a long time but couldn't find him. She asked a young monk, who said, "There are so many monks here. I don't know who you are looking for."
