Chapter 1243: The Pearl Collector and the Princess

“Understand what?” Tang Zhishi looked confused.

“Tianmiao, she… won’t come back anymore. She’s truly gone, returned to the heavens,” Li Qinghe sobbed on Tang Zhishi’s shoulder.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, I’ll always be with you. I’ll be with you all my life,” Tang Zhishi comforted.

She came because of me.

Just now, Li Qinghe suddenly had this thought, becoming clearer and stronger. Tianmiao came to this world because of her.

She came here to bring her happiness.

From the initial meeting to everything that happened afterward, Li Qinghe pieced together all the events clearly at this moment.

After being kidnapped by the County Magistrate’s son, Ahai appeared to save her. But later Ahai told her it was Tianmiao who instructed him to rush to the county town overnight, warning him never to stop, to ensure he arrived at that place at that exact time. Thus, she was saved by Ahai.

Afterward, with Ahai’s marriage, Tianmiao agreed to the Emperor’s request, became the Crown Princess, allowing their marriage to proceed smoothly.

Later on, Tianmiao healed her voice, enabling her to speak.

She abdicated for their son.

Now, Tianmiao has departed.

Before leaving, Tianmiao’s words, Li Qinghe is now recalling repeatedly.

“Qinghe, you must always be happy. This is your father’s greatest wish.”

Then Tianmiao turned to Li Anqing, smiled and said, “Your wish has been fulfilled.”

Li Anqing’s expression was somewhat strange at that time, followed by excitement and gratitude.

Li Qinghe didn’t think much of it back then, but now she has a bold idea.

Did father make a wish to Tianmiao, wishing for her happiness? Is that why Tianmiao descended to help her?

It seems unbelievable, but somehow, Li Qinghe felt this was the most correct explanation.

“Ahai, in this lifetime, I must be very happy,” Li Qinghe held Tang Zhishi tightly.

“Of course, my Qinghe will be very, very happy,” Tang Zhishi also held Li Qinghe tightly, smiling as he spoke.

…

The Consort was in the Imperial Palace, looking at the roster of selections in her hand, feeling a multitude of emotions.

She always wanted to be the number one in the harem, but this wish wasn’t realized through Tang Zhishi; instead, it was realized through his son.

Tang Zhishi’s son was about to ascend the throne as the Emperor, but Li Qinghe and Tang Zhishi didn’t want to bother with too many matters, leaving many things to her. This was exactly what the Consort liked. Now that she was getting along with Li Qinghe very harmoniously. She later understood, with the new Emperor’s ever-growing reputation, praised by everyone, it was impossible for Tang Zhishi to have any more opportunities.

Thankfully, Tang Zhishi was the new Emperor’s closest confidant and was immensely popular. Those noble ladies showed her great respect. The other Consorts followed the Emperor to the Palace, but she remained in the Imperial Palace, hosting banquets, greeting the new Emperor’s concubines, and this feeling of being high above was exactly what she desired.

…

Tianmiao was at Everything Shop flipping through the Heavenly Mechanism Memo.

“In the next world, let Dong Xiao light the lamp,” Tianmiao closed the Heavenly Mechanism Memo and handed it to Dong Xiao. The next world certainly seemed interesting, and the Wisher was particularly unique.

After Dong Xiao agreed, he opened the Heavenly Mechanism Memo. After reading it, his expression was somewhat complex.
