Chapter 679 It's all up to you!
"You changed her life, and in doing so, you changed the lives of countless others. This is something none of us could do; only you could," Wenren Jing said to her.
"Yangyang probably hasn't had a chance to tell you about Aque yet, has she?"
"What's wrong with Aque?" Rong Xin hurriedly looked at Wenren Jing.
She always felt that she owed a lot of people, especially the Queen.
Rong Xin never imagined that after entering the palace, the person she cared about most was not Zong Lin, but Empress Yan Chengyue.
She was so wonderful; whether in her past life or this one, she never imagined she could meet such a wonderful person.
As a woman herself, the shame of sharing a husband with another woman was an insurmountable obstacle for her. So after entering the palace, she dared not leave the palace gates, dared not communicate with anyone, and even dared not look the Empress in the eye when she saw her. During that time, she felt like a shameless thief, living in constant fear, and became someone she no longer recognized.
But the Empress did not blame her. Instead, she took the initiative to approach her, chatted with her, and used the most comfortable way to gradually open her heart, give her support, and make her no longer lonely and helpless. She even shielded her from the dirty affairs of the harem and gently protected her.
Ah Que was still young at the time, but he was already very sensible. When she was being harassed and didn't know how to refute it, he stood up for her.
During her time in the harem, she thought she was able to persevere not because of her precarious love with Zong Lin, but because of the Empress and A Que's protection.
Even when she was resolutely and devastatedly facing death, it was the Empress who used all her power to help her escape from the palace.
However, she had been living in a daze all these years, only knowing that the Empress had passed away, but unaware of what had happened to the Crown Prince.
“A-Que injured his leg, and everyone was helpless. Ancient medical technology could not cure his leg. It was Yang-Yang who spent several years using traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and surgery to help him stand up again.” Wen-Ren-Jing sighed softly. “You know A-Que’s personality. He may be able to get through this period and overcome the difficulties, but he will have to accept the fact that he will be disabled for life and will never be able to stand up again.”
"The Northwest Army was deliberately infected with smallpox. The lives of the city's people and soldiers were saved only because of the vaccine you taught Yangyang. And in the Jiangnan mines, those prostitutes suffering from venereal diseases were subjected to inhuman torture. They were like garbage, to be thrown into the morgue at any time. All they could do was lie there with their eyes open and wait to die. It was Yangyang who saved them with penicillin and led them out of the fire."
"So you have never only changed the lives of many people, but also the lives of countless others. Your value is not the past that is confined by those palace walls, but the hope of millions of people in this world."
“The difference between you and Yangyang is that she knew from a young age that she had no one to rely on. To survive, she had to expend all her strength. To protect those around her, she had to fight wild beasts in the mountains. There was no room for kindness or hesitation in her. She was keenly aware of the kind of era she lived in.” Wenren Jing explained to her almost meticulously. “You’ve met Zhiyi these days. She’s similar to you, born into a prestigious family, and her life was smooth sailing for half her life. She almost ruined her life because of some bad people, but after escaping that misery, she knew very well what she was capable of. She might not be able to charge into battle, but she was resilient and strong, daring to do the impossible, and became the first female county magistrate of Dazhao. Even if someone arranged this behind the scenes, it was her own abilities that gave her this opportunity.”
"So you see, these girls are so brave. This has nothing to do with time and space. Those amazing moments in history are all people's real past."
"You don't need to bear burdens that you shouldn't have to carry. Just being here is meaningful enough."
As Rong Xin listened to these words, she looked at Wenren Jing in a daze, savoring the words that Lu Yangyang and Wenren Jing had said to her. She felt as if she were standing in the clouds, walking forward step by step, and then suddenly the clouds and mist dissipated, revealing a vast and bright sky.
She has always been blinded by her own limited perspective.
The weariness in her eyes was washed away layer by layer by her tears, finally revealing her original resilient nature.
For the first time in many years, she raised the corners of her lips, nodding with a smile through her tears: "Thank you."
Thank you to everyone she has met, thank you for all the gentle encouragement she has received, thank you for everyone who has stood by her side.
She is An Yan, and she is also Rong Xin.
An Yan is her, and Rong Xin is also her.
She accepts all her experiences.
Including those years when we were mired in difficulties.
Then walk out.
Wenren Jing stood up and patted her shoulder: "Actually, I have a favor to ask."
Rong Xin was slightly taken aback: "Hmm?"
"That's right, I had a daughter, but she's destined for scientific research, and I can't handle her. I'll have to ask for your help in the future, to give her some pointers. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises, like making some medicines or pills. To be honest," Wenren Jing said with a bitter face, "I've always been afraid of bitterness since I was a child, and I don't know how I was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. I'm really afraid of drinking medicine. I'll be counting on you in the future. I'm getting older and older, so please let me suffer less in my later years."
"Oh, right, and you're a science major, right? Could you come up with all that cement, soap, glass, and gunpowder? I've thought about it seriously. I can't change the world; my weapons aren't hardcore enough!" Wenren Jing continued rambling, "Studying math, physics, and chemistry is good for everyone. Toothbrushes are easy to make, but I can't make toothpaste. And cars and trams are out of the question, but how about bicycles and tricycles? And honeycomb briquettes, sugar, and salt? I've read so many novels, but none of them told me what the recipes were!"
Wenren Jing became more and more excited as she spoke: "I never thought I'd have such a great opportunity at over forty! Honey, please do your best and let me enjoy life! I've made so much money over the years, more than I could spend in several lifetimes, but I can't enjoy it! I haven't used shampoo in years, do you know how hard it is for me? And sanitary napkins, these little things look simple, but I just can't make them! All these years I've been dreaming of having a science genius to improve my impoverished living conditions! It's all up to you!"
Rong Xin stared blankly at Wenren Jing. Wenren Jing's sudden change in attitude caught her off guard, and she stammered, "I, I'll try?"
