"Grandpa Huang!" he cried loudly, "you lied to me! You didn't mean what you said! You said you couldn't leave without seeing your sons! How come you didn't mean what you said! You lied to me, get up, you said

Get up...my grandson still has a lot of things to say to you!"

"Grandpa Huang, you can't leave like this! You can't!"

"You promised your grandson, and you promised me you would leave in a few days! Grandpa Huang!"

"Look at me, look at me before I leave, Grandpa Huang! You still have nothing to say! Grandpa Huang..."

Zhu Yunxi cried heartbrokenly, but the old man on the bed was still lying there, looking particularly peaceful.

It was as if he had fallen asleep, sleeping like a dream. No matter how much Zhu Yunxi shouted, he refused to come out of his dream.

"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong stepped forward and took Zhu Yunxi's arm, crying, "My condolences! What I miss most is you. Don't make me feel uneasy!"

"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi lay on top of the old man, "Look at your grandson!"

"Your Majesty!" Pu Bucheng covered Zhu Yunxi's face with his sleeves, "Don't let your tears fall on the old man, otherwise he will be uneasy when he leaves!"

With that said, he pulled Zhu Yunxi away, held him in his arms, and patted Zhu Yunxi on the back.

"Grandpa Huang, why are you leaving like this!" Zhu Yunxi cried unwillingly.

"You will be blessed if you leave like this!" Pu Bucheng gently stroked Zhu Yunxi's back, "I fell asleep and left. I really fell asleep!"

With that said, he whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear, "Don't cry, Emperor, don't cry. The Supreme Emperor doesn't want to see you cry, so he left so quietly!"

Zhu Yunhe wiped away his tears tremblingly and raised his head.

He slowly pulled up the quilt and covered the old man's face with tears in his eyes.

Three days, only three days from when the old man knew his end was coming to when he quietly passed away.

He wanted to shout unwillingly, but his chest was blocked by stones and he couldn't make a sound.

Outside the door, footsteps suddenly came.

Zhu Gaochi staggered in and called in a low voice, "Grandfather!"

Then he shed tears into the rain and knelt down gently beside Zhu Yunxi.

"Hong Xi! Come!" Zhu Yunxi said softly, "Let's kowtow to Grandpa Huang!"

Dong Dong, the two brothers kowtowed vigorously.
