Chapter 794: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 794: The Cause of Rebirth (3)
When the ruler's tactics were insufficient and there was no way to balance power, they could only watch helplessly as the mighty Da Chu slowly marched toward its demise.
In that life, the ruler wasn’t Chu Heng or Prince Heng, Chu Ye, but the young Sixteenth Prince who was forced to take the throne. In that life, Xiao Ruiyuan was assassinated, and Chu Heng’s poison was never cured. Before he died, he used his power to wipe out the Lin family, killed nine princes, including Prince Heng, who had been involved in the assassination of Xiao Ruiyuan, and also killed the Lin Empress, before succumbing to the poison.
After Chu Heng’s death, not long later, Emperor Hui'an’s health rapidly deteriorated, and before he passed, he passed the throne to the Fifteenth Prince, whom he had carefully cultivated. However, on the way to the palace to assume command, the Fifteenth Prince was shot and killed. In the end, the throne fell to the Sixteenth Prince.
The Sixteenth Prince, however, had neither the ability to govern nor the knowledge, and gradually became a puppet in the hands of the ministers, who vied for power and influence.
Mo Yan exhausted all her wealth, saving countless lives in the midst of chaos, but as a healer, she could heal people, yet she couldn’t heal the turmoil of the world. Later, when a plague broke out in the south, the court, instead of seeking a remedy for the plague, sent soldiers to encircle the affected people and set fire to the city…
In an effort to find a cure for the plague and save the countless people suffering, Mo Yan, regardless of her own safety, went south to treat the infected, and she actually succeeded in finding a cure. The plague was eventually ended, but she fell gravely ill and died as a result.
She died at the age of thirty-five, never having married.
A few years after Mo Yan’s death, Da Chu was completely plunged into war. The country underwent several changes in its leadership, the national power weakened, and eventually, foreign invaders came and took control of the beautiful land.
To establish long-lasting rule, the invading foreign powers carried out several large-scale massacres of the native people, causing rivers of blood to flow and mountains of corpses to pile up. After several years, the surviving population dwindled to less than thirty percent.
...
"My first life..." Mo Yan sat down on the ground, her expression dazed. "This was actually my first life..."
Apart from being saved by Xiao Ruiyuan, everything else was completely different from what she was experiencing now. She even doubted that the first life had truly been her own.
Xue Tuanzi, understanding that Mo Yan couldn’t accept this all at once, flew down from the tree branch to comfort her. "Yan Yan, look, the people you care about are all fine. Chu Heng didn’t die, and none of those bad things happened. You don’t have to think too much about it."
Mo Yan buried her face in her knees, her slender body trembling slightly. "How can I pretend it never happened? How can I pretend it never happened?"
Seeing Mo Yan like this, Xue Tuanzi deeply regretted having said these things. If Mo Yan couldn’t accept them, it could leave her with a psychological scar.
Xue Tuanzi panicked, flying around Mo Yan repeatedly, earnestly trying to persuade her not to overthink it.
Mo Yan indeed struggled to accept the truth, but she wasn’t going to beat herself up over it. However, every time she thought of her family, her lover, and her friends from the past life, who hadn’t met a peaceful end, her heart hurt terribly. These feelings weren’t something she could calm in just a day or two.
At a loss for what to do, Xue Tuanzi shifted Mo Yan's focus. "In this life, this should be your tenth life! Originally, your soul was split into two, and it seems like it was the will of the heavens. In the end, your soul being successfully brought here was also the will of the heavens! The purpose is to change Da Chu's fate, to stop those misfortunes from happening. Yan Yan, you’ve already done it!"
This was Xue Tuanzi's reasoning, and it firmly believed in the accuracy of its logic.
"Could it be like that?" Mo Yan finally seemed to stir a bit, holding the soft, fluffy Xue Tuanzi and thoughtfully saying, "If your guess is correct, then perhaps the events of the first life were a big mistake made by the heavens themselves, and my arrival here was to correct that mistake."
