Chapter 1073: Parting

Introducing Xiaoyue to Gao Yao was an idea Su Xuan had conceived early on.

Gao Yao was, after all, a man from a later age; if he wanted to fully integrate into this era, he first needed... bonds.

Only by forming bonds would he develop an attachment to this era, and subsequently, take the initiative to integrate into it.

For Gao Yao, his only concern was his younger sister, Gao Lan.

In this era, there was no Gao Lan, but there was Xiaoyue, who looked exactly like her. In the original story, Gao Yao had indeed treated Xiaoyue with the utmost care, regarding her as his own biological sister.

It was a pity that, just like Lu Su, Xiaoyue had also encountered that scumbag Yi Yi Xiaochuan. Although she was eventually moved by Xiang Yu due to Yi Yi Xiaochuan's heartlessness, Yi Yi Xiaochuan had indeed broken Xiaoyue's heart.

Strictly speaking, all the women in the original story had been hurt by Yi Yi Xiaochuan.

Lu Su, Xiaoyue, Lu Zhi, and so on...

As for arranging a marriage for Gao Yao, that was a sudden whim of Su Xuan's.

In the original story, Gao Yao had already been castrated by the time he entered the palace, leaving him severely incomplete and naturally unfit for marriage. But things were different now; because Su Xuan had rescued Gao Yao from the labor camp early on, Gao Yao had not been castrated and was currently a normal man.

Therefore, after rescuing Xiaoyue's sister and discovering that she was slightly younger than Gao Yao—making them a similar age—Su Xuan immediately had an idea.

He would use the imperial marriage decree to deepen Gao Yao's bonds in this world.

Not long after Su Xuan brought Gao Yao to meet Yu Lan, he inadvertently mentioned the matter to Seeing Ying Zheng. It piqued Seeing Ying Zheng's interest, and on a sudden whim, Seeing Ying Zheng wrote an imperial decree for the marriage, which he had Su Xuan deliver to Gao Yao.

This made Gao Yao even more fearful and uneasy.

He had originally thought that having Mr. Su act as a proxy for the marriage was already extraordinary, but now that it had become an imperial decree from His Majesty the Emperor, it meant he was held in the Emperor's heart; His Majesty truly cared for him.

Ever since meeting Xiaoyue, this world was no longer devoid of attachments for Gao Yao.

He now had two younger sisters.

One was Lu Su, and the other was Xiaoyue.

If he truly could not return, then staying in this world was not a bad choice—not to mention that he now even had a wife, something he didn't have in modern society.

Of course, Gao Yao also knew that to live well in this world, he could only rely on the favor of His Majesty the Emperor.

Gao Yao did not know when the First Emperor of Qin died in history, but he decided to accumulate some wealth while the man was still alive and favoring him. That way, even if a new emperor replaced him in the future, he could use this wealth to ensure that he, his wife, and his sisters could survive.

Time flew by, and another period passed.

As the imperial physician entered Yushu's bedchamber to perform the final diagnosis, it was confirmed:

Yushu's illness had completely healed.

It is worth mentioning that when Yi Yi Xiaochuan saw the imperial physician who had entered the palace to treat Yushu, he was shocked: "Old Cui, why is it you~~?"

Cui Wenzi was terrified of death; before entering the palace, he had made an agreement with Yi Yi Xiaochuan that he would enter the palace while Yi Yi Xiaochuan would leave. ===== CHAPTER 1075 =====
