Chapter 646 A Hundred Years Later

Zhu Houzhao held Chen Ce’s hand and listened carefully to what Chen Ce said slowly and attentively. He did not feel annoyed and listened so seriously and carefully.

“I seem to have had a very long dream.”

“I dreamed that you fell into the water fifteen years later, and because you had no son, the throne was replaced by King Xing’s son.”

“I dreamed that the Jurchens began to rise. They broke through Shanhaiguan, entered the Ming Dynasty, killed the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and handed over the Ming Dynasty to others.”

“I dreamed of the despair of the people of the Ming Dynasty under the rule of foreign races. I saw them constantly slaughtering the people of the Ming Dynasty.”

“Your Majesty, please protect the Ming Dynasty well, govern it well, and don’t let it perish.”

“Train your son well, the future emperor, and don’t let him become an incompetent monarch.”

“Your Majesty, I know being an emperor is annoying and I have no freedom. I know being an emperor is tiring, but these are what you should do because you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the father of all the people.”

“The late emperor is gone, and I am leaving too. From now on, no one will be able to restrain you, and your power will grow even greater.”

“Promise me that you will know how to restrain your power, okay?”

Zhu Houzhao nodded continuously: “Okay, okay! I know everything. Don’t worry, little brother. I promise you, I will agree to whatever you say.”

“I just hope you won’t leave me! Without you, I’m afraid. I’m afraid I won’t be able to govern the Ming Dynasty well. I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you and my father!”

Chen Ce smiled and said, “No, I’m not disappointed. We are all proud of you. You are very good and amazing. You are already better than me!”

“You must work hard and make the people of Ming Dynasty proud of you.”

“I don’t belong to this era. I am already very satisfied to be able to marry and have children here. Don’t feel sad for me. I am just a passer-by.”

Zhu Houzhao could not understand these words.

Chen Ce continued: “I originally lived in five hundred years, where the economy was developed and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment…”

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully, thinking that it was just Chen Ce’s nonsense.

When Chen Ce had almost finished his rambling, he said, “Your Majesty, please let my two students come. I have something to say while I still can.”

“it is good!”

At this moment, Liu Wentai also came in. After checking Chen Ce, Xu Jing and Tang Yin walked in with sad expressions.

Zhu Houzhao called Liu Wentai aside and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Isn’t it still possible to speak?”

Liu Wentai was silent for a long time before he said, “The last rays of light.”

“Let the Duke of Fuguo speak for a while. I’m afraid he won’t be able to speak for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao’s eyes went dark.

“teacher.”

Xu Jing and Tang Yin knelt at the head of Chen Ce’s bed.

Chen Ce smiled and said, “I shouldn’t have been your teacher. You are all better than me.”

Xu Jing and Tang Yin cried even harder.

Chen Ce said softly: “People’s lives are always spent in separation, so don’t be sad. I’m gone, and you still have to move forward.”

“Ming still needs you.”

“This is all I can do to help you. Father Heng, please take good care of Bo Hu and Yun Ming in the future.”

“Yunming can’t come back. I feel sorry for him. I promised to transfer him to Peking after he finished his studies in the southwest, but I can’t do it now.”

“Apologize for me and Father Heng.”

Xu Jing and Tang Yin shook their heads frantically.

“The poor take care of themselves, the rich help the world. You already have the ability to help the world, so you should do well in the future.”

“Some friends should be given up when necessary. If you force yourself to do so, you will always be alone.” “Father Heng.”

Xu Jing took Chen Ce’s hand and said, “Teacher, you speak, and the students are listening.”

“Help me take good care of your master’s wife and don’t let them get bullied.”

Xu Jing nodded heavily: “Teacher, don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Chen Ce smiled and said, “Okay, go out. I also want to say goodbye to my wife and my children.”

Xu Jing and Tang Yin wiped their tears, then walked out with Zhu Houzhao, while Mrs. Wu and Xiaohua walked in holding the child.

“Your Majesty, you must protect the dragon’s body!”

Zhang Mao, the Zhang brothers, and Qin Hong spoke together.

The Zhang brothers wiped their tears secretly. How could Chen Chunjian…how could it be like this?
God is jealous of talented people! Damn God, why is he so heartless!

In the central hall.

Madam Wu came to Chen Ce sobbing, holding the little one in her arms.

“My dear, don’t cry. Didn’t we agree on this? On the day we get married, we will face this ending.”

“I’m sorry to have kept you.”

Madam Wu shook her head: “My husband is the best husband in the world. It is the greatest honor of my life for me to marry him!”

Chen Ce stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of Wu Niangzi’s eyes: “I have arranged the rest of the journey for you.”

“Xiaohua, Brother Chen has spoken out of turn. Brother Chen can’t marry you anymore. Find a good family to marry in the future.”

Xiao Hua cried heartbrokenly: “I don’t want it, I don’t want it, I only want Brother Chen, wuwuwu, Brother Chen, please don’t die, please don’t die, I beg you, I beg you!”

Chen Ce lamented, “Brother Chen doesn’t want to die either, so how could Brother Chen bear to leave you?”

“But there will always be a time to say goodbye, good child, don’t cry, practice martial arts in the future, accompany Sister Wu well, and grow up quickly.”

“My dear, I saw snow again… I finally understood why I always saw the mountain temple and heavy snow during this period of time.”

“Because I am dying, I have been thinking about my past, the past when I came to Daming.”

“My lady, I can’t bear to leave you!”

Mrs. Wu has cried her eyes out.

She grabbed Chen Ce and cried bitterly, “Husband! I can’t bear to leave you either. I can’t bear to leave you either!”

“Husband, wuwuwu!”

Chen Ce stretched out his hand and tried hard to grab Madam Wu’s wrist, just like that day in the cellar, when Madam Wu grabbed Chen Ce’s hand and refused to let go.

That was the warmest day since Chen Ce came to Daming.

His vision gradually began to blur, and a vast expanse of white began to appear in front of his eyes. The hand that he had been trying to hold on to Madam Wu slowly began to slip, and blood kept spitting out of his mouth.

Chen Ce’s consciousness had begun to blur, the noisy sounds gradually began to get quieter, and the sound of crying gradually became farther and farther away from him.

Liu Wentai walked over quickly and kept giving Chen Ce acupuncture, but it was of no use.

Liu Wentai walked out sadly with tears in his eyes and said to Zhu Houzhao: “Your Majesty, the Duke of Fuguo… is gone!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao’s eyes went dark and he fainted completely.

The Zhang brothers were frightened and quickly supported Zhu Houzhao.

Liu Jin shouted, “Quick, save the emperor!”

Xu Jing and Tang Yin burst into tears, their cries shook the sky, “Teacher! Teacher!”

Madam Wu and Xiaohua in the house were also crying bitterly, and the entire Chen Mansion was shrouded in a thick fog of sadness and grief!
