Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1011: Hoping You Never Reincarnate After Death

Both he and Su Chengyu were born into the Royal Family, yet their fates were so different. Su Chengyu was cared for by so many, but what about him? When had he ever been loved by so many?

After the death of his master, he had always depended on his sister for survival...

The more Gong Juechen thought about it, the sadder he felt.

However, seeing Su Chengyu’s body battered and broken, looking as if he could breathe his last at any moment, Gong Juechen found himself unable to harden his heart.

He had originally wanted Su Chengyu to die, but now, he somewhat wanted him to survive...

This man was his brother, after all...

Overwhelmed with emotions, Gong Juechen examined Su Chengyu’s body, but he didn’t linger long before he left Su Chengyu’s room.

Looking up, he gazed at the lone moon in the sky, thinking about how he still hadn’t found a good solution to end this plague, and sadness welled up in Gong Juechen.

It was already a hopeless situation.

No longer looking at the moon, Gong Juechen lowered his head and stared at the ground for a long time before he decided to leave the temporary palace and return to the Medicinal Diet Hall.

Since coming to Nanshen City, he had been staying at the Medicinal Diet Hall.

But, before he could leave the temporary palace, he saw Xiao Changyi sitting alone in the pavilion, drinking alcohol.

Gong Juechen hesitated for a moment, but then walked towards Xiao Changyi.

He didn’t ask why An Jing wasn’t there; he simply walked into the pavilion and sat opposite Xiao Changyi.

Picking up the wine jug on the table, he poured himself a cup of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then said softly, ”I can’t come up with a cure for this plague... We’re all going to die here...”

Xiao Changyi’s expression remained unchanged, and he didn’t speak, continuing to sip the wine in his cup slowly as if all of this was unrelated to him, as if he didn’t care at all about any of it.

”You’re always like this,” Gong Juechen chuckled softly, pouring another cup of wine for himself. However, he didn’t drink it this time but stared at the cup, lost in thought.

After a while, he asked softly, ”Is it worth it? Coming here, is it worth it?”

This time, Xiao Changyi spoke, ”It’s worth it.”

”If...” Gong Juechen fell silent again for a long moment before he continued, ”If the Crown Prince dies, would Xiyun really be thrown into chaos?”

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”The chaos would be temporary. Even if the Emperor has no son to succeed him, there are grandsons.”

After a pause, Xiao Changyi added, ”Chengyu is the most suitable person I’ve seen to be Emperor.”

Gong Juechen fell silent.

He said nothing more and just sat there in silence.

Even after Xiao Changyi had left the pavilion, he still sat there, quietly being silent.

Only deep into the night, in the dead silence, did Gong Juechen leave the pavilion, exit the temporary palace, and return to the Medicinal Diet Hall.

Gong Juechen’s room in the Medicinal Diet Hall was near the back yard. Gong Juechen entered the room without lighting a lamp and walked to the bed by the faint moonlight, then lay down.

His eyes closed, but Gong Juechen didn’t sleep, instead thinking: If Xiyun were peaceful and everyone lived and worked in happiness, then his sister should be able to live well in such a country, right?

Moreover, the fault lay with Su Haoyu, not Su Chengyu. If he just let Su Chengyu die without making a final, desperate effort... he would probably regret it later, wouldn’t he?

Thinking this, Gong Juechen eventually fell asleep.

The next day, while examining plague-stricken people, Gong Juechen bit a finger of a man infected with the plague and drank a few mouthfuls of his blood, causing a great shock to everyone present.

As he drank the man’s blood, Gong Juechen laughed tragically in his heart: ”Su Haoyu, in this lifetime I owe you this; I hope when you die, you’ll descend to the eighteenth level of Hell and never reincarnate!”
