The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 258: Unique Farewell

After the banquet, the Lin family left the palace, and Yun Youde and Lin Huixin also returned to their bedroom.

As for Yun Jingxian, thinking that Hu Zhiyi was pregnant, he said a few words to his parents and went back.

After parting with them, Yun Zhi walked towards the tallest pavilion in the palace.

The maid following behind saw where she was going and had a worried look on her face. "Your Majesty, it's too cold up there. Don't go. Or ask the maid to get you some clothes before going up."

"No, I'm just going up to get some fresh air and will be back in a moment."

After saying this, Yunzhi climbed up to the pavilion as if strolling leisurely in the garden.

The evening breeze blew the loose hair and the corners of her clothes, bringing a hint of coolness.

Standing at this high point, you can overlook the entire palace and even the streets in the distance.

It is not yet midnight, and there are still many people walking on the street, but they are about to disperse.

Yunzhi walked closer to the fence, looked up and gazed at the full moon in the sky.

There is a saying that goes, "The moon is fullest on the 16th."

The moon tonight is not the roundest, but it looks very round to the naked eye.

At this moment, it hangs high in the sky, without any stars to embellish it, moving slowly and proudly.

In fact, Yun Zhi knew in her heart that the reason her parents and family asked her to marry was not as complicated as those court officials thought.

Their original intention was just for her own good.

She wants someone who will be by her side, who knows her thoughts and understands her wishes, who will bear the ups and downs with her and share her joys, so that after they pass away, she will not be alone and will not feel lonely.

But she is not alone.

Just like the moon in the sky, without the company of stars, people will not feel that it is lonely, but will only think that it should be unique.

If there are stars, they are just embellishments and icing on the cake.

The stars may not exist, but the moon must exist.

As an emperor, she should be unique and supreme. She doesn't think anyone can stand at the same level as her.

As for the family concept, it is important to have a blood-related child to carry on the family line.

The significance of carrying on the family line is nothing more than continuing the family bloodline, passing on the ancestral heritage, and having descendants to collect the body and offer sacrifices to the deceased.

But in her mind, the continuation of bloodline is dispensable and she does not value it.

Just like the children in a big family, who can be sure that the child in their arms is really their own child.

This kind of dirty stuff has happened before.

As for the inheritance of the foundation, who can know whether the next generation of blood relatives will be incompetent? She doesn't want the world she spent so many years to gain and the An Kingdom she founded to be destroyed in the hands of the second emperor.

She wanted her Anguo to last forever, until there was no need for an emperor anymore.

Before her death, she will choose an emperor who can lead Anguo to greater prosperity.

Now that someone has taken her place, is she still worried that no one will collect her body and offer sacrifices?

Besides, how would she know what happens after death?

Even if no one came to collect her body, or even if they threw her outside, she didn't mind.

As for the lack of sacrifices and incense, it doesn't matter. Isn't there the underworld? It wouldn't be impossible for her to become emperor again at that time.

Moreover, with her abilities, she will surely be remembered in history, and people in later generations may even learn about her life story.

Isn’t that what Tang Qiuwan said?

There will always be someone who remembers that there was a person like her in this long river of history.

What else could she not be satisfied with? When she was alive, the life and death of everyone in the world depended on her thoughts.

Even after her death, people in later generations will remember her forever.

At this time, the sound of one slow watch and three fast watches came from afar. It was the third watch and midnight had arrived.

Yun Zhi came back to her senses and looked at the gradually quieting streets, her mind feeling clear.

"Let's go back to the palace." She whispered, turned around and slowly walked down the pavilion.

The female official behind him hurried to catch up, and the group walked further and further away in the moonlight.

Tomorrow is the first morning court session of the year, so she should rest early.

……

"You said you wanted to travel around the world?"

Not long after the morning court session ended, Zhou Yifeng came to see the emperor.

He had resigned since his eye injury, and Yun Zhi agreed after giving him a nominal position with no work required and a lot of rewards.

Now, nearly a year later, his eyes are still not healed.

At this time, there was a white cloth covering his eyes and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I heard that things have changed a lot outside now. I want to go and take a look."

"Why don't you go after you get your eyes healed?"

"No, Your Majesty. I know my eyes are difficult to heal, and I have caused Your Majesty much worry for a long time. Besides, my wife and son are my eyes."

Yun Zhi was silent for a moment, "When are we leaving?"

The smile on Zhou Yifeng's lips became more and more obvious. He knew that Yun Zhi agreed.

He raised his head and looked at Yun Zhi precisely, as if he could see Yun Zhi.

"tomorrow."

"Be careful along the way. If you encounter any trouble that is difficult to solve, use this."

As he spoke, Yun Zhi threw a token to him.

Hearing the slight sound of wind coming from the front, Zhou Yifeng quickly reached out to catch it.

He stroked the pattern on the token and looked up in surprise, "Your Majesty, I cannot accept this."

"Just take it, Zhou Yifeng. I wish you a safe journey."

Finally, Zhou Yifeng knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes, I will retire."

He stood up and walked out of the palace with steady steps, his figure getting farther and farther away.
