"Although my name is Fan Taohua, I actually don't like peach blossoms very much, so I haven't planted many peach trees in my life."
"But there are always those who think I like peach blossoms because of my name."
"Since they planted those peach trees, I can't go against their will and cut down those peach trees... Then let those peach trees grow as they wish."
"Why don't you like peach blossoms?"
"Because... although the peach blossom is beautiful when it blooms, it makes me feel very sad when it withers."
"Although its beauty is graceful, it is short-lived."
"But what I like is longevity... Even if my life is dull, if we can stay together till old age, that will be the greatest happiness in my life!"
She was eighteen that year.
At eighteen, she is as gentle as a peach blossom blooming in the spring rain.
"Husband, will you always be so kind to me in this life?"
When he was twenty that year, he picked a peach blossom and pinned it on her head.
"Madam, of course my husband will always be this kind to you, no, he will be even better!"
"If my husband violates this oath... he will be pierced by thousands of arrows...!"
Fan Taohua covered Zhonglipo's mouth. She looked at Zhonglipo's handsome face, and her eyes were filled with peach blossoms!
This was the conversation between Fan Taohua and Zhong Lipo on that March day more than forty years ago, on the Peach Blossom Mountain in Guangling City, in the peach blossom forest.
Zhongli Po looked at the floating petals, and he seemed to see Fan Peach Blossom wandering in the peach forest!
She is still so young and beautiful.
She still had that charming smile on her face.
There was still affection in her eyes.
Zhongli Po's heart suddenly trembled.
His face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
His whole body trembled violently when he saw the falling peach blossom.
The petals of the peach blossom are so red.
The red is so dazzling!
It's like being stained with Fan Taohua's blood.
The scene in the autumn rain during the Kyoto Incident two years ago resurfaced in his mind!
That autumn rain was very cold.
Fan Taohua returned to Dingguo Hou Mansion.
In the small wooden house by the lake in the back garden of Dingguo Hou Mansion, she brewed a pot of tea and asked herself:
"Can I go back again?"
I was silent for a long time and shook my head.
She said that Dali has been destroyed for thousands of years!
It is impossible for the so-called Dali Royal Family to still exist.
Even if it exists, it has long lost its desire to restore the country.
Because in a thousand years, the descendants of the Dali royal family have reproduced for dozens of generations.
Our ancestors may still have the idea of restoring the country, but if you think about it carefully, do they really still have this idea today?
Zhongli Po didn't answer.
Because he knows that the descendants of the Dali royal family are indeed in the world!
Moreover, they are ready for the restoration of the country!
That was a place no one expected, and there were some people no one expected!
His heart is no longer with Fan Taohua, and he is tired of Fan Taohua.
Because this woman seems to be as gentle as water, but she acts stronger than herself in every aspect.
When everyone mentioned Zhongli Mansion in Ningguo, the first thing that everyone thought of was Fan Taohua, not himself, the real head of the Zhongli Mansion!
Even in the court hall, when the officials talked about Dingguo Hou Mansion, they mentioned Fan Taohua's ability in warfare.
Unknowingly, I was living in the shadow of Fan Taohua's beautiful peach blossom!
But Fan Taohua is not a delicate woman.
She didn't notice the change in Zhongli Po's heart.
She just thought that she needed to do this for Zhongli Mansion.
I don’t remember which year it was, but a woman who looked exactly like Fan Taohua came to Zhongli Po.
She said she was Fan Taohua's twin sister, and her name was Fan Lihua.
Fan Lihua is gentle, beautiful, considerate, and supports herself unconditionally.
For example, use blur to poison everyone who gets into the Chehou Mansion!
This matter was not done by Changsun Tiexian, but by Fan Lihua's method!
That night, Zhongli Po invited Changsun Tiexian to have a drink at Dingguo Hou Mansion. Changsun Tiexian drank unpreparedly and got drunk.
That night, everyone in the Hou Mansion was killed.
"I've found out some things, like my sister."
"I still want to tell you that she is a woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions, and it was she who cast Zhongli Ruoshui's cold poison!"
"Leave her, even if it's for the sake of our descendants of Zhongli Mansion!"
"In this change in Kyoto, I will cooperate with Xi Wei to overthrow this decadent country and make Li Chenan the emperor of Ningguo!"
"That child values love and justice and has great abilities. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, it will be of great benefit to the future of Zhongli Mansion."
"As for your illusory so-called identity as a descendant of the royal family of the Dali Empire... I don't know when you knew you had such an identity, but I want to say that if you can give it up, I can forgive you for all your absurdities."
That day, Zhongli Po lowered his proud head.
He told Fan Taohua everything about him and got Fan Taohua's forgiveness. Then, he gave Fan Taohua a slap in the face!
"I tell you this because I want you to die with an understanding."
"You have no idea about Fan Lihua's great plan!"
"In case Li Chenan really masters the Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue, Zhongli Ruoshui can become a saint of the Hidden Sect if he gets his magical skills!"
"Hidden Gate, do you know?"
"The power that the Dali Empire has accumulated for so many years is beyond your imagination!"
"If Ruoshui becomes a saint, I, Zhongli Po... will become the emperor who rebuilds the Dali Empire!"
"You can't stop my way, my descendants, they have the blood of the royal family of the Dali Empire flowing in them!"
"If I succeed... Zhongli Mansion will no longer be called Zhongli Mansion, and you... can go and die!"
Fan Taohua was seriously injured and struck out with a sword!
After all, she didn't penetrate Zhongli Po's fatal spot with that sword.
She left Dingguohou Mansion after being seriously injured, went to Yunji Bieye, and sent Zhongli Ruoshui and the others to Shuzhou.
She died in Yunjibieye.
Zhongli Po was originally very worried that his affairs would be exposed because of Fan Taohua, but he did not expect that Fan Taohua did not say a word to Li Chenan.
Fan Taohua also did not expect that Li Chenan gave up becoming the emperor of Ningguo.
Li Chenan went to Shuzhou and walked to the road Fan Lihua needed.
This is the will of God!
"You still miss her?"
Fan Lihua's words interrupted Zhongli Po's memories.
"You are still afraid of her deep down!"
"You are the future emperor of the Dali Empire!"
Fan Lihua turned around and looked at the egg in the hot spring again.
"It's almost time. I can't let those damn ones come in and disturb me from performing the Soul Capturing Technique!"
"Catch them all, and wait until I successfully cast the spell..."
Fan Lihua raised her head slightly, with a cold expression in her old eyes.
"I will let Zhongli Ruoshui kill Li Chenan with his own hands!"
"Let her kill everyone else with her own hands!"
"Use their blood to baptize and pay tribute to the birth of the saint and the reappearance of the empire!"
